Chapter 1905: Tin Can Jingle (3)
Ultimate Iron Man followed Schiller back to his room on the ship, where he had an entire suite as a special guest, as well as the huge viewing windows characteristic of this viewing ship.
The reason why the summit was held here is because the annular nebula is visible to the naked eye, which is a very beautiful nebula that is close to a perfect circle, and it is also quite rare in the vast universe.
Through the huge fusiform floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see a brilliant nebula shining in the darkness, composed of countless stars and colorful air currents, forming an incomparably magnificent landscape.
When Schiller first entered the room, he was also struck by the astonishing beauty, the nebula emanating in a variety of colors, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, in appropriate shades, coiled, mysterious and bright.
Schiller stood in front of the window and stared at the nebula, as if he was deeply immersed in some kind of quiet depth, and the ultimate Iron Man did not speak, but just picked up the ornaments on the coffee table and played with them.
After a while, Schiller came back to his senses, he seemed to feel a little embarrassed and uncomfortable, so he turned his head and walked to the other end of the room, but the ultimate Iron Man took the initiative to say, "It's really beautiful, isn't it?" What do you see in this view? ”
Schiller's footsteps paused, but he shook his head slightly and said, "It's not the first time I've seen it, what can I understand." ”
"Beauty does not diminish its charm by the number of times it is noticed." The tone of the ultimate Iron Man finally did not have that kind of free smile, but seemed very serious, he said: "It must have left a very deep impression on you, so that every time you look at it like this, you will recall every feeling." ”
Ultimate Iron Man walked over to the single sofa next to the viewing window and sat down, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the chair opposite, and then said, "I'm also a guest from afar, aren't you going to talk to me?" ”
"You weren't supposed to be here." Schiller turned to look at Ultimate Iron Man and said, "You should go back to your universe and do what you have to do." ”
"There's nothing I'm supposed to do, just as there's nothing you have to deal with right now against your will." Iron Man propped his elbow on the armrest on one side, leaned in this direction, looked at Schiller and said, "I can see that it is very difficult for you to withdraw from this beauty and shock, and people can't always make difficult decisions. ”
"You've just called people who can't make tough decisions stupid and say they deserve to be harvested." Schiller scoffed.
"You're reversing cause and effect, I think." Ultimate Iron Man shook his head and said, "Because they are stupid, they can't make the decision to give up their pleasures, and since you have been making this kind of decision, it means that you have stronger willpower than them." ”
Sure enough, the ultimate Iron Man saw Schiller put one arm tightly against his body again, and the other side was placed under his nose and touched, which was a sign of embarrassment and discomfort.
"Sit down, Doctor, or we may just sit here in silence and watch this eternally rotating nebula project its own existence into infinite time with a contempt for anything that professes to be grand, and the world is like that, and the existence of some is a denigration of others."
Ultimate Iron Man could clearly see that Schiller's fingers trembled lightly when he heard the last sentence.
Schiller walked over and sat down, and the two sat opposite each other on one side of the huge picture window.
There were no lights on in the room, it was pitch black, only the faint light cast by the nebula outside the window, illuminating the figures of the two men into silhouettes, much smaller than the most ethereal star dust in the huge nebula, but the shadows were very long, like sand and stones in the moonlight.
"How long has it been since you've had psychotherapy?"
"I only ...... yesterday"
"You know that's not it." Ultimate Iron Man shook his head and said, "Aliens are not our kind. ”
"But they also have emotions, and they ...... It's no different from us. ”
"Is that how you convinced yourself?" Ultimate Iron Man straightened up, then crossed his hands on his lap and said, "From a certain point, you feel like you've lost the ability to channel negative emotions for others, until at some point, you realize that you're gradually losing the ability to sense the emotions of others." ”
"But that's not what you need to be a psychiatrist." Schiller denied it, saying: "Empathy and empathy are important, but that's not how the job works, it's not that we empathize with patients and comfort them, we rely on knowledge and theory and a wealth of experience, or we rely primarily on that." ”
"But the gradual fading and retreat still makes you feel pain, you know what is gone, but there is nothing you can do."
"It's just that I haven't been able to focus on this lately." Schiller snorted coldly and said, "People like you don't feel the cosmic destruction that you are worried about in the slightest. ”
"Do you consider your talent a disaster?"
"Why do you ask?"
"Let me guess." Ultimate Iron Man stretched out a hand and opened his fingers, and said, "To some extent, you can predict the future, or at least have a premonition beyond the perspective of ordinary people, not only for the immediate crisis, but also for the disaster that will befall you in the future." ”
"But it's not so much a talent as a curse, ignorance is the greatest happiness that a human being can have, if you don't know, you don't have to be responsible for it, but when you know, you always feel that you can't escape the blame."
"If that's the case, I'm supposed to be a hero."
"Of course you can't." Ultimate Iron Man shook his head and said: "You don't want to make this your responsibility at all, if you are not a hero, you have room to escape, you can not do your best, you can convince yourself when you are not able to turn the tide, so that you don't have to feel guilty." ”
"You have the talent of a psychiatrist."
"But you said it doesn't depend on talent."
Schiller looked at the ultimate Iron Man in silence, and the ultimate Iron Man said: "When you came to me, you chose not to show up, but this is understandable, after all, the two of us are not familiar with each other, you don't want to tell me the whole truth, the less contact with nature, the better, so as to prevent me from getting to the bottom of it." ”
"But the most strange thing for me is that you are now mixed in a group of aliens, instead of actively preparing for war with your heroic friends on Earth, preparing for the impending catastrophe."
Stark moved his elbows a little further, leaned forward and stared into Schiller's eyes and asked, "Tell me, why not?" ”
Schiller turned his head to look at the nebula outside the window.
"I should have thought of that." "A true friend wouldn't mind going to the trouble for you, and you should know that, and if you talk to everybody, then the situation should be like I said, you're all together, not alone, answer me, Dr. Schiller, have you never told anyone what you've seen?" ”
"It doesn't make sense." Schiller turned his head back to look at the ultimate Iron Man and said, "If someone came to you one day and told you that the world was going to be destroyed, and we had to prepare for it, would you believe it?" ”
"If I didn't believe me, would I still be here?"
"But what if nothing happens after that?"
Ultimate Iron Man frowned slightly and said, "Isn't your prophecy completely accurate?" ”
"There is no completely accurate prophecy in this world, only the content of the prophecy can be changed, and it makes sense to warn in advance, otherwise I won't say anything."
After a little thought, Schiller understood what Schiller meant, Schiller told the content of the prophecy to others, they had prepared in advance and avoided the disaster in the prophecy, then it means that the prophecy is not completely accurate, but if they predicted in advance, prepared, and used various methods to change the outcome of the prophecy, then Schiller did not need to tell others the result of the prophecy, because it would inevitably happen, and it would be useless to try.
Since Schiller meant that he had said it, it shows that the prophesied catastrophe could have been avoided.
But that's not the point, the point is that Ultimate Iron Man is sure that Schiller does know what the future holds, which is an extremely amazing talent.
"Of course I know that if a similar situation happens, it will hurt your feelings with those close to you very much, and it is a dilemma." Ultimate Iron Man said, and then he asked, "Did you think I'd believe it before you told me?" ”
Schiller finally looked at his most complicated expression of the day, and then shook his head.
Ultimate Iron Man chuckled lowly, he looked at Schiller with smiling eyes and said, "How ironic, your heroic friends no longer believe you and think you are just alarmist, while an evil criminal you want to exploit does not hesitate to believe your words and make efforts to do so." ”
"Then why on earth do you believe it?" Schiller asked.
"Because I'm smart enough."
"Iron Man ......"
"No, I don't mean IQ." Ultimate Iron Man shook his head and said, "I know how I used to be, Iron Man understands almost everything in this universe, but he doesn't understand people's hearts, this is the privilege of a madman." ”
The crazy Iron Man's eyes glowed like a pearl in a dark room in the faint glow of the nebula.
"When you start thinking about things other than formulas and theorems, you come to a crazy conclusion for granted, and then you suddenly understand something that the hero Iron Man will never understand, and that is human feelings."
"I used to be like a giant signal receiver, I felt people's complex emotions, and I reciprocated with the same surging feelings, and when I learned to look coldly, I was naturally able to see more than others."
"What do you see in me?"
"A kind of desperation."
Ultimate Iron Man saw something in Schiller's eyes crumble in an instant, shattering like a fragile mirror, and then the light of the nebula outside the window shone in, but failed to shine into the bottomless abyss.
"Knowing but not being able to do anything is the most desperate thing in the world." Schiller opened his mouth and said: "That's why I said that you shouldn't be here, you clearly believe it, and you have the ability to change, but you choose to give up, and the result will not change." ”
"As I said, the driving force that motivates me to save the universe is no longer goodness." Ultimate Iron Man's eyes shone with a moist light, as if he had returned to when he was still a hero, so sensitive and moving.
"So what will it be?" Schiller asked.
Ultimate Iron Man heard the sound of his prey stepping on the snow next to the trap, but he could also hear the vigilant sniff blowing away the falling snow, so he lowered his eyes and said.
"I'm honest, I think I should give you a powerful riposte, you found me among the countless Iron Man in the universe, because I have the talent of Iron Man, but I have no bottom line."
"It's true that I can do more than Iron Man, but it doesn't mean that I have to do it for the sake of the universe, if I will give more than your hero friend Iron Man, it will only be because I feel that I can also see your talents and bottom lines in the universe of you - can I?"
Schiller looked at him in disbelief and asked, "Why?" ”
"Why?"
"Why me?"
"Anyway, it's not because you've never been chosen."
Schiller closed his eyes hard.
Ultimate Iron Man said in his heart, "Hooked." ”
Schiller said in his heart: "Hooked." ”
A master move
