The three of them emptied the bottles in their hands at the same time, and then opened another bottle each.

"Alright, my problem has been solved, now it's your turn."

Grant thought it was a little strange. He had the impression that Matt might be like this, but Banner wasn't that kind of person.

"Are you drinking too much or too old? It's not like your style. ”

As a result, Banner sighed a little: "After going through that period of exile and traveling to several countries, there will always be some feelings. Let's not talk about that, but let's talk about you. ”

Hearing Banner say this, Grant and Matt glanced at each other, and then focused on the beer bottle in their hands with great tacit understanding.

Seeing them like this, Banner shook his head.

First up is Matt. Banner patted the other person on the shoulder: "I know that you are an independent and self-reliant person, and you are also a person with a strong goal. I also know that you will put in the effort for your goals and believe that you can help your city in your own way. But you have to understand that there are some things that a strong person can't cope with, and he needs help; There are some things that cannot be solved by strict laws, and it requires additional means. ”

"I told him that...... Well, I'm sorry you guys continue. ”

Grant interjected suddenly, only to be stared at by his two companions. Faced with this situation, he had no choice but to relent. But what Banner had to say to Matt was coming to an end.

"But I'm sure you can strike the right balance. You know, outside the law and within the law, friendship and sacrifice. I think you have the ability. ”

Then, Dr. Bruce Banner, a nuclear physicist and super-monster who has become a spiritual mentor, once again sets his sights on Grant.

"What, I've apologized!"

Grant's plea, or delay—made no sense at all, and the convulsive Banner, shaking his head again, pointed out his question unceremoniously: "You're confused, Grant." I can feel it. I'm sure Matt is the same. ”

Mr. Trainee Lawyer nodded cooperatively.

"Why, I'm fine." Grant shrugged his shoulders, "I'm working for the freedom of the people and the peace of society." ”

It was good, but his tone was full of self-deprecation.

"I can't feel it." Matt not only has four senses other than vision, but also has a very delicate mind, "Maybe from one day on, you will really fight for freedom and peace, or you will really be so great in the future." But obviously, you are not yet. ”

This was said too directly, and Grant subconsciously wanted to refute. But after he said "I" a few times, he still couldn't come up with a reason to refute it, so what should have been a justified justification turned into a helpless sigh: "Huh, I don't know either." ”

"It's not that you don't know, you just don't think about it."

With that, Banner's bottle was empty again. Before you know it, this guy has drunk more than twenty bottles, which is more than Grant and Matt's combined and multiplied by four......

"Let's put it this way, are you happy after saving those people in your last few operations?"

Grant's eyes were fixed on the pile of wine bottles behind Banner, stunned. After coming back to his senses and thinking about it, he gave a most truthful answer that he couldn't satisfy himself: "It's more like satisfaction." But...... It's not because I saved people. ”

"Here's the problem." Banner nodded earnestly, "Whether it's joining that organization called 'Free and Peace' or the so-called independent contractor side hustle, you're just reminiscing about your old life. You've been an agent and you've been forced to leave, but you've been subconsciously trying to get that feeling back. For now, this is certainly a good thing for those who are being helped by you and who need help. But in the long run, this is not a good sign. ”

After listening to this paragraph, Grant was a little confused: "What do you mean?" ”

This time it was Matt's turn to speak: "To put it simply, you're still used to taking the task—the mode of completing the task, just like a machine program. People who do jobs like yours have to deal with things that hover on the edge of good and evil from time to time. If this development continues, one day you will come to a fork in the road. Perhaps you will become a tool in the hands of some people, completely rejecting good and evil, right and wrong; It is also possible that when the content of the mission conflicts with your view of good and evil, you will realize that you truly take it as your responsibility to protect and save. Don't be the former. Judging by your current abilities, if you do get that far......"

At this point, Matt paused, then spoke again: "It's a pity that we can't help you much." At that point, the only one who can make the choice is you. ”

After Matt finished speaking, the scene entered a quiet atmosphere. This gave Grant plenty of room to think. After two minutes, he broke the silence with a voice.

"You're right, I should change that. And even at that moment, I believe I will make the right choice. ”

Seeing him like this, Matt smiled and raised his arm and held out the beer bottle. It wasn't until the time they wanted to cheer that the two realized that Banner was drunk.

"Bruce is that age, so it's not strange for me to nag something." After taking a sip, Grant smiled at Matt and said, "But you're younger than me, aren't you?" ”

"If you had the same experience as I did, you might be older."

"Come on, my experience as a child was also very tortuous. I sue ...... Forget it, let's take Bruce down first. Grant shook his head, "This guy also said that his problem was solved, and it seems that there are still many things hidden in his heart." ”

Matt nodded, "I drank a little too much, too." ”

The two of them took Banner and the whole crate of wine back to Matt's quarters. The only room was already occupied by Betty, who placed Banner on the floor and Matt prepared to sleep on the couch. As for Grant......

"You're leaving now?"

"yes, I'm going to go back to the gym first, and then I'm going to fly to Europe right away." Grant said as he walked out, "By the way, lock the door from the inside and have the key with you." ”

"What's wrong?"

Grant had a malicious grin on his face, "I guess Bruce will steal it in the middle of the night." ”

Hearing what the other party said, Matt also smiled: "Don't worry, I'll wake Betty up when he's leaving." ”

After the two spoke a few more words, Grant left. Lying on the couch, Matt felt the breath of the whole city and gradually fell asleep. Until a few hours later......

"Bruce Banner, you're planning to leave me alone!"

If Banner had ever been to the other side of the ocean, he would have known that this was a super skill called "Hedong Lion's Roar".

Let's hope he doesn't get too miserable.

(PS: This chapter seems to be too "literary", so let's just read it.) There are many book friends who complain about the beliefs, goals, ideals, etc., so I use this chapter to explain, hoping to be accepted by everyone. But...... Didn't those people all fight for freedom and peace? Team America, Iron Man, Banner. Thor is more inclined to "protect" because of his identity, and Hawkeye can't see it for the time being. Or let the protagonist fight to stay alive like Natasha? In this case, you need to arrange a few more profound disasters for the protagonist\("▔□▔)/)
