Chapter Eighty-Three: Cheers
(Click, collect, recommend, recommend, recommend, recommend (ćoć)//)
Another month of star-studded evenings.
The Manhattan Islands had just undergone a massive sweep, and the military's mishandling of Broadway had caused the news to spread, and the whole region was panicked. On the roof of an inconspicuous building, three men were drinking beer while looking down and chatting.
"So Matt, you, the future barrister, are not going to appeal on my behalf?" It was Bruce Banner who had recovered, "I was hunted down by the military, and I was hunted by the FBI, cIa, DoD, etc. I deeply feel that my civil rights have been seriously violated. ā
Banner had been sullen all day since he woke up. Now that he is taking the lead in making jokes, the other two are also happy to cooperate.
Next to Banner, Matthew Murdoch shrugged, "Actually, you can't prove that you're not dominating the will after you turn into a green hunk, Bruce." ā
Hearing this from the blind trainee lawyer, Grant, who was standing between the two, also spoke.
"Bruce, Matt is right. I guess no psychiatrist would dare to certify you, haha. ā
Then Matt laughed too.
"You guys."
Faced with these two unreliable new friends, Banner could only pour a sip of beer in frustration.
The three of them laughed again, and then chatted wildly. It's like the guy who got the nickname "Iron Man" is getting more and more - well, "flamboyant" is more appropriate - and has recently made a kind of expo that is out of the limelight; For example, after Stark Industries abolished the weapons department, Hammer Industries, which had already spent a lot of money and energy, successfully took the former's place and got orders from several important agencies, including the Department of Defense, although they were only short-term agreements, but they were enough to make Hammer's value rise sharply - but since the CEO made a fool of himself at a Senate hearing, Hammer Industries has been in some trouble; There are also three giants on Broadway that have caused a strong reaction in society, and some people have accused the government. The government has turned a blind eye to various livelihood issues and used taxpayers' money to research criminal biological weapons, and more than one group has asked the White House to release the details of the incident......
Eventually, the topic inevitably fell to themselves.
"You're saying that you have undergone an unknown change in your body as a result of the explosion of that Ark reactor, causing an otherwise lost ability to reappear in another form?" Banner said to Grant, "Well, I think it's your original ability that has been parsed out, and now it's what you really are." ā
"But I was able to condense my energy arm before, and now I seriously lack long-range attack methods."
"Originally, you were only using energy at the lowest level. Interpretation not only means that you have a deeper sense of the energy, but it also brings about a reorganization of the energy itself, and this reorganization is likely to be irreversible. So you just have to adapt. In fact, there is another possibility, that is, your original energy interacts with the energy of the Ark reactor, and eventually forms a new energy in your body. As for which guess is correct......" Banner shrugged his shoulders at this point, "I haven't touched the Rubik's Cube you mentioned, nor have I seen Stark's Ark reactor, and the current conditions don't allow me to test the energy in your body right now, so I can't help you." ā
Banner is a well-known scientist. Although his major is not quite right, the points he makes are still very interesting - at least neither Grant nor Matt can find a gap.
"Don't talk about me. So Bruce, what are you going to do next? Are you really not going to join my organization? ā
After cheering Banner for a moment, Grant casually asked the question. As a result, Banner's right hand, which was holding the bottle, stopped in the air. It took ten seconds for him to finish the rest of the action, pouring the beer into his mouth.
"Actually, I don't know." Shaking his head, the scientist who lived with a monster inside him looked rather depressed, "Now my Betty is wanted all over the United States." ā
Thinking of his girlfriend who was resting downstairs, Banner's expression suddenly became a little hideous. He punched the stone fence in front of him, "I can't forgive myself for causing Bette to become a monster!" ā
The way he looked scared both Grant and Matt.
"Calm down, calm down!"
Grant said as he dragged Banner off the fence to prevent him from having another chance to self-harm. Matt also lifted his guide stick in front of Banner.
"Rest assured, those people wouldn't have thought that you were still in Manhattan, let alone that you were hiding in Hell's Kitchen. Here, the gangsters have more influence than the people who want to arrest you. Especially the Russians and the only Japanese who are not going to let the military get in here easily. Matt said calmly and reasonably, "But do me a favor, don't change here." Otherwise...... Well, I know I can't beat you. ā
Hearing Matt say this, Banner didn't react, but Grant laughed first.
"I thought you couldn't see TV. Or can you hear the movement from miles away here? How did you find out about the Hulk? ā
Faced with this question, Matt was speechless.
"Mr. Li, I want to know that the news is not the only way to 'watch'. I can listen and I can read Braille. "Of course, the most efficient way to do this is to listen to the people around you." So far, I've heard more than once that three 100-foot-tall monsters, yellow, green, and red, appeared on 121st Street and were wreaked havoc by them, and finally David Copperfield turned them away and saved the whole of Manhattan. What a legend, isn't it. ā
This time it wasn't just Grant, even Banner laughed.
"A hundred feet? It turns out that the legend is an exaggeration of ten times. ā
Looking at Banner, Grant said. As a result, the other party gave him a strange look in return.
"David Copperfield."
Banner had a smile on his face, which made Grant very puzzled: "I know this guy. More than 20 years ago, he made the Statue of Liberty disappear in front of the eyes of a large audience and 50 million television viewers. A few years later, he made an Orient Express, more than 80 and 90 feet long and 70 tons long, disappear in an instant. He is a top magician. ā
"Yes, a top magician." Banner is also not selling off, "He is also involved in the ** scandal, and it seems that he once offered a price of two million to try to shut up the plaintiff." ā
"Oh, please!"
Hearing this, Grant immediately looked over to the instigator of this. As a result, Mr. Trainee Lawyer had long since fled the range of his attack. However, the guy didn't stop: "In fact, someone has already given you the nickname - 'The Great Magician (the_magician)'." Satisfied? ā
With a fist swing over there, Grant ignored the guy and spoke to Banner again, "Why don't you and Betty stay with me for the time being?" If something happens and you transform again, I can help you recover. ā
"A good idea." Matt's voice came too.
Truth be told, Banner was really moved. But in the end, he still shook his head: "Betty and I are by your side, it will cause you a lot of *** annoyance." Because of your side hustle, you can't stay in one place all day, let alone take us with you everywhere. Besides, although you can reduce the ...... The destruction caused by the other guy, but the feeling of transformation is just too uncomfortable. I'm going to go to a place away from stress. ā
"Only you? You should bring Betty. If something happens, she'll be able to block you for a while, and then take you away from a crowded place. Besides, you'll need to work with Betty on how to stay awake in the transformed state. You're all scientists, you should be able to find a way. ā
Matt's words were 100% approved by Grant. The latter raised the bottle in his giant hand to Banner and spoke, "I respect your decision, friend. I think Africa is a good choice for you. But if you find a way to control it, or if you change your mind, welcome back. I'll ask my friends if there's a plan, and if you can, I'll get you back even if you don't want to. You know I have the ability. ā
"Who's to say it isn't!" Banner looked at the two in front of him and nodded solemnly, "Friend." ā
"Please, it's a bit sensational. Come cheers one! ā
