Chapter 20: Our Heroic Dreams
The Larry King Live Show, N's ace show, airs every night at 9 p.m., when people have had a date dinner and are back home, turn on the TV, and watch the show.
Of course, since the show has been going on for more than three decades, it has gained a large number of loyal fans, almost growing up with a generation and slowly aging.
For example, Danny's father, who is also a big fan of Larry King, will stay in front of the TV to watch the show at night when there is nothing else to do, maybe his father is watching it at this time! Danny thought silently.
Host Larry King asked a second question, and it was Danny who replied: "I brought it up on this show, because since we appeared in front of the world that day, we have found that it is not easy to be a superhero, after all, it is not as clear as in the comics."
There are a lot of people who are speculating about our identity, and everyone is happy to speculate, I don't mean that it shouldn't be, but the point is wrong, the public should focus on the accident itself, those who were injured in the accident, those who lost their houses, those who died in the rescue process, especially them, they are the real heroes.
I admire them, really, we all have superpowers, and even then we love to act in a safe way, but they are not, they rush into danger on their own initiative. ”
When Danny said this, the big screen in the studio was very cooperative, and the figures of various rescuers in the gas accident, combined with the low sound of music, the atmosphere was suddenly rendered.
The audience was also deeply affected, and many female viewers shed tears, and everyone was silent.
Danny continued: "The original intention of the Super Troopers was to help more people in need, not to be the center of public attention, and we thought at first that it might get some attention, but we didn't expect it to be so serious, we wanted to be heroes like Captain America, but we couldn't afford the mission and responsibility of the whole country like Captain America, because, we are all ordinary people, at least a few months ago, we were normal ordinary people. ”
These words are not quite the same as what they said to Matt before, but it is normal, when it comes to the inside, you can tell the truth and say something more selfish, for everyone's safety. But in the face of TV viewers all over the United States, such false and empty words must be said.
"Understood, you think you are all ordinary people, no different from everyone else except for superpowers."
"That's right, even though we have superpowers, we still live the same way, eating, sleeping, doing what we like, hating and disliking, just like everyone in this country." Matt said suddenly.
Larry King nodded. "So how did you come up with the idea of doing a talk show? Let's be honest, when someone tells me, hey! Old Larry, I have a few guests here, they are Seattle superheroes, and I thought he was joking! ”
Danny burst out laughing. "Actually, it's a coincidence! At first, we were trying to find a way to make our voices heard, to express our thoughts to the public, to consider newspapers, radio, and the Internet, and then we decided to find a TV station.
Then we thought let's find the most influential show! It's fitting to pick and choose and find 'Larry King Live'. ”
Danny said this, and the host hurriedly said: "You made the right choice, yes, my show is the most influential." ”
Hearing the host praise himself with a serious face, the audience laughed.
Danny smiled and continued: "Then, I looked it up and found Christopher, and then I visited him overnight with the firefighters, talked to him, and it was confirmed. ”
"That's right, that old friend I'm talking about is Chris, he called me at the time, and I thought he was at the bar!" Larry King teased his old friend without pressure. "Can you tell us how you visited, I'm curious and the audience are curious."
Danny thought for a moment and said, "I went with the firefighters at night, it was late, and I followed the information to find where Chris lived, which was a very high-end apartment. Then it was very dark, and I said to the firefighter, 'If we knock on the door like this, will it be considered a psychopath, what if he doesn't open the door?'
Then the firefighters said, 'Probably, what are we going to do?' Call to make an appointment'? Finally, I thought about it, why don't we knock on his window! ”
"Wait! Are you sure it's knocking on the window? I know Chris lives on the sixteenth floor! Wasn't he scared? Larry King asked hurriedly.
"Huh! Maybe I'm scared! I saw him quietly hiding his gun on his body, and he was still breaking out in a cold sweat. Andrew said with a smile as he recalls the scene.
All the viewers seemed to think of the image, a white and chubby old man, who heard a knock on the window, and found two people standing outside the window, greeting him, and everyone laughed and burst into tears.
"I'm sorry I may have scared him at first, but then we had a good time and he treated us to a treasure trove of tea and snacks. So, I'd like to give Chris a piece of advice here: change to thicker curtains, so that no one can see you outside the window. ”
The host laughed, finally stopped, and touched his cheek. "We just talked about helping others and being superheroes, and now I want to ask: have you ever done bad things with your superpowers?"
Danny turned his head to look at Steve, stifled a smile and said, "It's done!" ”
Larry King and the audience were amazed. "Sure, you've done bad things with your superpowers."
"We're sure, and every one of us has done it, Steve, you say it first!" Danny said, pointing at Steve.
Steve hesitated for a moment. "It didn't take long for us to get the power! The blow was very exciting, very excited, but they didn't want to use superpowers in front of others, and then everyone thought they could give it a try, so we used superpowers to prank.
For example, I moved an aunt's bike from one side of the parking lot to the other, and when the aunt came back, she found that her bike had been moved, but I didn't know what was going on?
And the police, who tried to take the gum out of a man's mouth, but failed, knocked him down and scared the man out of his mind. In addition, he used his superpower to control the hair dryer to blow the girl's skirt up.
The firefighter was even more excessive, when I didn't eat at the restaurant, he talked about the syrup on the plate, drew a portrait of the Virgin Mary with superpowers, and then asked the waiter with an innocent look What was going on?
The doctor once worked with me in the supermarket to control a teddy bear with superpowers, causing him to stop in the air and keep moving, which scared a lot of little girls. ”
After listening to Steve's words, the audience couldn't cry or laugh, this is a bad thing, it's obviously a prank, and it's all some harmless pranks.
"Alright! I can see that you all love to play, and I think the Super Squad can be changed to a Prank Clan. Ha ha! Also, I want to know, how do you practice your superpowers? ”
This time, several people asked Matt to answer the question. "It's usually just about using some things around us, such as the firefighter likes to take cameras, so he will always control the camera, which is also considered exercise, and when we are together, we like to play superpower baseball, and air football or something?"
"Rugby in the air? You mean flying in the air and playing rugby? My God, the Rose Super Bowl must invite you to the opening, and I believe that the ratings will reach a new high. ”
The audience was also surprised, and many people were also very envious, thinking that they had superpowers, could be superheroes, and were so interesting, I believe that people all over the United States will definitely be lively again after watching this episode.
As for what Danny said earlier, he didn't want to attract the public's attention too much, it was all foolish, and he didn't want to attract attention before he was on the TV show, what Danny wanted was to attract attention, otherwise how would that big fish get hooked?
