Chapter 1031: Shocking the Worldly (8)
When Schiller walked into the room, the room was as quiet as if no one was there, even the sound of breathing was muffled, and Steve was sitting on the booth couch next to the bar, with two unopened cans of beer on the table.
When Schiller sat across from him, he touched the surface of the two beers and found that one was at room temperature and the other was ice.
There was also a bottle of high liquor under the table, which looked like a base for making cocktails, but because it was too close to Steve, Schiller didn't reach over, and could only judge from the appearance of the bottle that it was a bottle of spirit.
This room is actually the recreation room of the Avengers base, and when there are no tasks, the members of the base will stay here, chatting and drinking, playing billiards, and playing foosball for a while.
It also adheres to the usual decoration style of the Avengers base, the walls are all smooth metal plates, the floor is darker, there are rivets on all sides, industrial-style chandeliers and decorative pipes are all over the walls, and there are two bright light strips under the bar, which are the only light source in the room.
Steve sat on the couch with his elbows propped up on his knees and his hands over his face.
Hearing a deflated "hiss", Steve's hand moved slightly, but he didn't look up until Schiller placed another open can of beer in front of him.
Steve whimpered, shook his head, and then covered his eyes with his hands like a drunk who had drunk to the point of consciousness.
"Steve, stop pretending, I know you didn't drink." Schiller took another sip of the beer at room temperature, and when the liquor was not cold enough, it had an astringent bitterness, and he was a little unaccustomed to it, so he put the beer can down.
"Judging from the situation near the table, your course of action should be like this, you feel a little uncomfortable, there is a precursor to the onset of the disease, so you want to numb yourself with alcohol."
Remember the URL
"You go to the bar and instinctively go get a can of cold beer, but when you get back to your seat, you remember that you've just finished working out and your sweat hasn't gone away and you can't drink ice, so you go over and get a can of room temperature beer."
"You just wanted to open the room temperature beer, and it seemed that you thought of the bitter taste of the room temperature beer, and perhaps you also felt that beer could not extinguish your worries, so you went back to the bar and grabbed a bottle of spirits."
"But at this moment, Peter came over, and you think that Peter is young, even if he is an adult, he can drink, but it is not good to drink hard liquor and drink himself unconscious, you can't set a bad example for young people."
"So, instinctively, you take the liquor under the table and put it to your lap to hide it."
"You didn't want to call me, but Peter's repeated requests you had to do it, because you didn't want to act like an old man who was a doctor and avoided treatment."
"Don't talk about it." Steve spoke up, but Schiller then said quickly: "You care about this very much, you really don't want others to know that the spiritual leaders of the United States in the last century have completely fallen behind in this era." ”
"You learned to use a smartphone and adapted to modern life, but in a blink of an eye, Stark Group has come up with a lot of things that modern people can't understand, for example, if you want to take a shuttle, you have to apply for a transportation card, but the processing of a transportation card is a fully intelligent process......"
"It's not like you in the last century, when you go to the bank to handle business, there will be members who will serve you kindly, and if you want to get a transportation card for shuttles and inter-air trains, you only need to go to the intelligent service hall next to the traffic management bureau, and you don't even need to operate the machine, you just need to tell the smart housekeeper what you want to do......"
"This is a very, very simple process, so simple that even a few years old, as long as you can find a place, you will definitely be able to do it, but you just don't want to do it, because you have too many worries about the accidents that may occur in the process of this simple thing."
"In other words, what bothers you the most is that it is now the peak period for handling transportation cards, and the intelligent service hall must be crowded, you don't know how to communicate with artificial intelligence, you are afraid that you will ask some stupid questions, and you are even more afraid that your stupid questions will be ......heard by others."
"Say no more, Schiller, please." Steve's voice kept shaking, and he said, "I'm not worried about this at all, I can learn all of this, I'm Captain America, and my learning ability has been strengthened......"
"Who told you?" Schiller asked.
Steve was a little overwhelmed by Schiller's question, so he removed his hand, the hair on his forehead was very messy, covering his clear eyes and making him look a little tired.
"I guess maybe the people who transformed you told you?" Schiller took another sip of the hard-to-swallow room temperature beer, he really couldn't stand it anymore, but he still took the can of cold beer in front of Steve, opened the can and poured a few sips, sighed and said:
"After you have completed the transformation, the scientists have told you that you have been transformed into the most perfect person in this era, with an incomparably strong physique, a smart brain, a strong learning ability, and an incomparable kindness ......"
"That's what everybody says, right? They say that Captain America is the banner of this era, a perfect person in the true sense of the word, and so, you believe it. Schiller squinted at Steve and said.
"However, there is no perfect person in this world, and even if you were a perfect person in the previous era, this era is no longer there, the era that belongs to you has passed."
"In the last era, the American people who experienced the Great Depression and Roosevelt's New Deal were so energetic, brave, hardworking, and intelligent, that was when this lighthouse was the brightest, and you were the brightest bulb on the lighthouse."
"You have to be the first person in America's Golden Age, to be synonymous with the American spirit." Schiller looked Steve in the eye and said, "That's what everybody tells you, and you do." ”
"They didn't ask too much of you, because at that time, it was still a beacon of the world, and people from other countries could not admit anything, but they had to admit that the United States really had the most prosperous and glorious period."
"At that time, the people around you were good enough, strict officers, talented scientists, hard-working staff, and in this atmosphere, people called you their role model, and you naturally had to do your best."
As Schiller spoke in a soothing tone, it was as if Steve had really seen such images, or rather, they had always been in his memory and had never faded.
It was a real golden age.
But in the next second, Schiller's words were like a heavy punch, shattering his illusions, and Schiller's voice sounded in his ears again:
"But when you wake up, the world has changed."
"That vibrant country is starting to become a little chaotic, and all kinds of isms and groups are taking to the streets, tangling up with problems that you have never heard of, making a big fuss, leaving a mess, and you don't love the streets very much."
"You like to see the content of the newspaper the most, but it has also changed from the development of science and technology and the progress of mankind to you scolding me, I scolding you, scolding and scolding and scolding and not knowing what you are scolding, one will be a political party attack, one will be a commercial competition, so you don't like to read newspapers very much."
"You learn how to use a smartphone, and you start surfing the Internet, and then you find that the Internet seems to be full of extreme crazy people, and no one can think rationally and discuss rationally, so you don't like to use smartphones very much."
Schiller sighed and pointed directly to Steve's problem: "Giants who grew up in the golden age are unwilling to bend their knees to this decadent and chaotic era. ”
"You don't want to be Captain America in this era, but because of the patriotic education you once received, you feel guilty for the resistance in your heart."
"You know in your heart that the previous generation's set is no longer working, but you don't know, how to be a perfect person in this era, to be with them? Do you want to give up your insistence? Do you want to cater to the masses and entertain to death? ”
"Your personality and your mission are in conflict, and you grieve and grieve about it, but there is no one to talk to, because those who gave you this mission are long dead."
"Rather than saying that Captain America is the flag of America, you are only the tail of the golden age, the last orphan of the American spirit."
"Bang", the sound of the wine stopper being pulled out, in the silence of the room, sounded like an earthquake, Steve's arm trembled, and he picked up the liquor and poured it into his mouth.
"You're right, you're right......" Steve said vaguely, "I'm just an antique, I don't want to get any transportation cards, I think it's good to walk, and I can keep fit, and I can see the scenery on the street......"
"But Captain America can't be an old antique, I can't rush into a service hall without knowing anything, be dumbfounded by a bunch of robots, be photographed by people, spread to their forums, and then, with my stupidity and pedantry, to slander their parents......"
"Obviously, their father and grandfather are doing much better than them!" Steve put the wine bottle on the table fiercely, and said in such an extreme tone for the first time: "Those people I know will not advocate nothingness and death, will not slander others at will based on just a photo, will not advocate any decadent spirit, and take irresponsibility for ......granted."
"Obviously, it is the efforts of that generation that have brought about today's results, and I can't let them laugh at us!" Steve raised his voice and said, "It's not fair to those who died!" ”
"They died, so no one could know their contributions, no one could have known, and they could have spent their time and entertainment on entertainment, but they chose to work hard to build such a great country."
"If the role model of that generation, that is, me, was also very stupid and old-fashioned, it would have made everyone in that era and there laugh at it......" Steve covered his eyes in some pain.
"Remember when we first met?" Schiller took a sip of cold beer, he didn't let the gray mist control his body, and because as a doctor, he couldn't drink often, so the amount of alcohol was not very good, and now he felt slightly dizzy.
"That's when we talked about it......" Schiller paused and continued: "I said a long time ago, it's not that you can't learn smartphones, you just don't want to learn, because you think that the lifestyle of the last era was by no means inferior to the current one, and the people of that time were full of spirit and vitality." ”
"That's how it is." Steve wiped his mouth with the palm of his hand and said, "Miss Carter wanted to go on a date with me, and we booked at a restaurant in Brooklyn, and when it was done, she asked me how I was going to get there, and I said I could walk there, and she was surprised." ”
"I know that in this era, few people walk five kilometers and ten kilometers in one breath, but the feeling of movement is really great, and when I walk, I can also look at what changes have been made to the signboards of the store, and whether there are new products in the windows......"
"I don't like shuttles and skytrains, and when they start, the vibrations are so regular that I feel like my muscles are going to dissolve."
"But I can't talk freely about this part of the topic!" Steve frowned, lowered his head, and said with some pain: "I have to say I like it, I have to say I know everything......"
"Of course Captain America has to like these new things, of course he has to understand them, but Carter's problem came so suddenly, I said I missed it, but I couldn't do it, and I didn't know how to deal with it, so I had to refuse her, and after the date was set, I ran away like a coward."
"Don't ...... Don't worry......" Schiller poured two more sips of wine, his words becoming a little unclear, but still trying to say:
"I'm a ...... I am a professional psychiatrist...... I can break it down for you from the beginning...... Steve, Steve...... Listen ......"
"Wait a minute, you can't just drink beer!" Steve, who had filled half a bottle of liquor in a short time, was also a little upset, he walked to the bar, brought a few more bottles of wine, handed it to Schiller, and said:
"You remind me of when I used to drink and chat with my comrades...... Come! Open it! Ah, no, no, no, I'll open it for you, you...... You drink this bottle, and this bottle belongs to me......"
Schiller took a sip of the liquor and choked on his cough, but as the scorching liquor entered his chest, he felt a cluster of flames ignite and his brain clearer.
"Drinking...... Drink! Schiller said with some slurred words: "If you can't drink me, I'll take your...... Tell Tony all ......"
"Hiccup! Don't be silly...... His dad can't even drink me! ”
