Chapter 66: A Sudden Sharp Turn (4)
Lin Ming coughed at this time: "Then next, everyone, you are going to walk into this instrument like Ben and turn back into ordinary people." Or continue to live as a superpowered person as you do now? ”
Lin Ming's words silenced the other three in the Fantastic Four, they were different from Ben. Originally, because his ability was uncontrollable, he became like a monster. And for them, the benefits and convenience of superpowers have outweighed the drawbacks that come with it.
At this time, the function of this instrument built by Reed made everyone realize its more important role. Take a step forward and the world will never be the same again.
How can what has happened be reversed?
Johnny immediately said, "I don't want to go into that machine, I think this thing should be dismantled immediately." It's a gift, unmatched. I'm enjoying it. ”
Reed looked at the machine, but deep down he didn't have a similar thought. Susan, on the other hand, is used to having handy superpowers. Moreover, this ability is not simply the effect of its manifestation.
The physical fitness of the four people, and of course the three people now, has been greatly enhanced because of their superpowers. For example, the ability to resist diseases, as well as physical strength, and even youth.
Lin Ming smiled, "Okay, it seems to be 3:1, but we helped Ben solve the problem, and at the same time, Reed also got the experimental data he wanted, isn't everything perfect." ”
"Yes, Lin, what you said is right, that's it. Okay, now that the trouble is solved, can the ban on travel be lifted? Johnny immediately chimed in.
Reid wanted to object, but Johnny ignored it and started to clean up in the room, "I've been here for two months, and I'm tired of this boring life. So please give me some free air. ”
After saying that, he saw Johnny leaving with his clothes and a satchel on his back. And Susan can only helplessly spread her hands, after all, now, it is really not suitable to continue to ground everyone like this.
Everyone has their own life, even if they have superpowers, but it doesn't mean that life is going to be completely different. Not to mention that Johnny is an adult, and Susan could use Ben as a reason before, but now she can't do it.
Ben also went to take a shower at this time, ready to clean up and reconcile with Debbie again. And in the entire laboratory, there were only three people left, Reed, Lin Ming and Susan at this time.
Susan was about to speak, but heard Lin Ming say: "Your troubles are solved, so Reed, do you remember your promise at the beginning?" You said you wanted to help me. ”
Reid smiled, "Yes, I said I would help you." But you don't seem to be having any difficulties. Could it be that Victor is persecuting you? ”
"Certainly not Victor, he has enough trouble of his own. I've never said where I came from, but before I get to that, I'll need both of you to look at a few things. ”
Lin Ming's words made Susan and Reed a little confused. They thought it was over, and as time passed, things would return to normal.
But apparently this is not the case, because Lin Ming has two flagship smartphones from 2017 on the table, one is the iphoneX, and the other is the Xiaomi mix2.
This kind of full-screen smartphone is not a product of this era. Although the black technology computer in Reed's hand looks very powerful. But in fact, because of the filming era of the Fantastic Four, it is still the era of Noki and Motorola, and there are only a few concepts of smart phones, but it is still completely impossible to really produce them on a large scale like later and become one for everyone.
Of course, Reed is a scientist after all, and he immediately realized that the two mobile phones that Lin Ming threw out were not bricks, and then he saw that Lin Ming conjured up a laptop out of thin air, which was an alien, and it was also a 2017 limited top edition.
Lin Ming didn't pay attention to Reed and Susan's surprised eyes, instead, he turned on the laptop, and the screen turned, and there was a video file on it, and it was written in English and Chinese bilingually, Fantastic Four.
Lin Ming said: "We have experienced life and death together, you are all good people, and you are my friends. But for now, watch the video first, and then I'll tell you in detail about what's going on. ”
Reed didn't open the video as Lin Ming asked, but asked, "Wait, you mean that you are not from this era, and these products are all brought by you from the future?" ”
Lin Ming smiled: "If there really is a time shuttle in the future, then the inventor is most likely Dr. Reed." ”
Reed didn't take this as a joke, but said seriously: "Although my research direction involves some concepts of time and space, this is not my main research direction. What's more, it seems to me that traveling from the future to the past raises a lot of unsolvable paradoxes. And in terms of time, Lin said that it is from the future. But judging from the time shown on this notebook, it is indeed October 18, 2017, which means that it is only 12 years away from now, and I don't think that technology will leapfrog to the point where a time travel machine can be invented. ”
"Worthy of the person I'm looking for!" Lin Ming applauded, "Indeed, the real situation of the matter is far from being as simple as coming from the future. But like I said, please watch this video first, and then you two should understand. ”
Reed understood that if he didn't watch this video, Lin Ming, who suddenly began to become mysterious, would not explain it again no matter what.
So he turned on the video, fortunately, the generation gap between 2005 and 2017 was not so exaggerated, it was just that the picture became clearer.
As for the beginning of the 20th Century Fox logo, it immediately enters the shot of Reed and Ben standing under the statue in front of Dr. Doom's company.
Reed looked at himself in the video with some disbelief, though he had a hunch that the man who looked almost exactly like him wasn't the same person as him.
But this incident is undoubtedly something he has personally experienced, after all, it has only been more than three months since the whole thing happened. And such a short and unforgettable experience, especially Reed's memory, made him completely remember what happened afterward.
Lin Ming said: "Actually, the two of you here can fast forward, after all, we have all experienced it together." ”
But Reed didn't fast forward, but looked more closely, but Susan looked at Lin Ming with a curious and suspicious gaze, as if she wanted Lin Ming to give them a reasonable explanation.
Why is everything they go through recorded and acted out in a cinematic way? They weren't so stupid as to tell if the video was a real record or a film performed by an actor.
The plot is just like what Lin Ming said, everyone experienced it, and then there was a scene that embarrassed Reed, that is, in the space station, Victor proposed and confessed to Susan.
"Hey, it's never happened in my memory!"
Lin Ming smiled, although it didn't happen in your memory, but you always knew that Victor liked Susan, and he and you were competing for everything. Your career is more successful than yours, and your scientific community is more famous than you. Even the means of picking up girls are higher than yours.
"Okay, are you here specifically to mock me? So now it's clear, what's going on? And didn't Victor not go to the space station together? Is this video a re-shot of our experiences by those of you in the future? ”
Lin Ming motioned for Reed to continue watching, for example, if there was a situation in Ben, the four of them rescued people on the bridge. These are all experienced. Of course, unlike the original, there is no Lin Ming in this film about the experiences of the four of them.
And it's clear that Victor has been exposed to radiation and is starting to get complicated. Then came the clash between the four, Ben's anger. Arriving here basically represents everything that has been experienced for the past three months or so.
Of course, there are differences, and in the past three months, Reed feels that the cooperation between himself and Lin Ming is very pleasant. There is a lot of common language between the two, especially when it comes to exploring the unknown.
However, now Reed was in a bad mood, and he did not pause, but continued to watch. Sure enough, Victor's changes are getting more and more serious, and he begins a series of conspiracies against the Fantastic Four.
He almost succeeded, and Ben did recover, but because he was used by Victor, all three of his friends were in deep danger, which made him blame himself and use the device to change again.
Later, when Victor destroys New York, the Fantastic Four team up to stop his crime and turn it into a sculpture. Of course, at this point, Reed's mood is still a little complicated.
He looked at Lin Ming: "That means that these will be things that will happen in the future?" But Victor, he didn't go with us to space. ”
Lin Ming nodded and said, "Yes, Victor's failure to go with me was the result of my intervention, and I gave him something more interesting." ”
"Is that the special serum you offered?"
"Yes, but that's not the point. But now, Dr. Reed, are you willing to accept reality? ”
"What reality? You're just using this video to prove that what we're going through will become a household name in the future, and there will even be a production company that will make it into a movie. ”
"Yes, your experiences do become household names. But the truth of several things is not exactly what you think. ”
Lin Ming showed a meaningful smile, which made Reed feel very uneasy, and he had a feeling as if he was dreaming, and this dream was about to wake up.
"That's right, the experiences of several of them were made into films. But the premise is that the original story of the Fantastic Four was originally derived from a comic, and after this comic, it finally began filming in 2004, and then was officially released by Fox in 2005. That's why there is this film and the lives of several people. ”
It was only after a moment that Reed reacted, and he asked aloud, somewhat shocked, "You mean, all this, everything, is a movie." And we're just movie characters? ”
