[Comprehensive British and American] I open a haunted house in the superhero world

After thinking about it, West finally brought Stephen back to the haunted house.

The main reason is that it is his territory, and he feels more at ease.

Peter also followed. This time, he did not use the "Peter Brian" who had frightened Pascal and the others as a vest, but used his true face in a fair and honest manner.

And Tony was afraid that his state of becoming a zombie in 25 minutes would frighten Stephen (mainly because he was afraid that he would be wiped out by Stephen in an accident), so he still maintained the state of a ghost.

Stephen couldn't see him, so he happily floated around beside him, making all kinds of grotesques, which made Peter almost laugh out loud.

Taking Stephen back to the haunted house, West still felt somewhat guilty.

And Stephen got his wish and saw the haunted house he wanted to see, and didn't notice West's abnormality.

It is impossible for the haunted house scene to be open to Stephen. After all, all the actors, whether they are visible or invisible, are surrounded by Stephen at this time.

Out of politeness, West still decided to go to the kitchen to make tea for Stephen.

After he left, Stephen said to Peter, who had always been nervous, "Are you nervous?"

"Ah? Hmm." Peter subconsciously wanted to deny it first, and then affirmed it.

But it must not be the reason you thought, he thought silently in his heart, and did not intend to explain.

How can you expect an elder who is only thinking of you to be in love to believe that you are really not in love?

"Peter, you should learn from Tony. Tony will never behave like you when facing a situation like yours." Stephen said, "Of course, I'm glad you didn't go to his level , He is a playboy without morals. You don't need to go to his level, but at least you shouldn't be like this, when you face the person you like, you only follow and watch secretly. "

When he said the first half of the sentence, Tony was still nodding, but when he reached the second half of the sentence, his face darkened.

What's so comforting about not being like him?

He wanted to punch Stephen.

If Stephen enters the haunted house, he must entertain him himself, Tony thought viciously.

Probably because the expression on his face was too obvious, the corners of Peter's mouth twitched and he lowered his head.

If he hadn't, Stephen would have seen him grinning almost to the ear.

Stephen looked at Peter very relieved. He consciously mentioned Tony, just to test Peter's reaction. Looking at it now, although Peter was still a little depressed, he was not nearly as decadent as before.

This is very good, Stephen. Mr. Strange, the newly appointed patriarch, sighed in his heart, the power of love still seems to be very strong.

Peter thought for a while, but still didn't have the courage to explain.

It's just that neither he nor West expected at this time that this scandal has troubled them for far longer than they thought.

And West, who didn't know about this at all in the kitchen, was still making tea honestly.

It's just that he also has a problem now, that is—

How much should this tea be poured?

The tea was prepared for the guests, and it was only used for one time. The last time it was made by Peter.

So in short, West. Life idiot. Brian, can't make tea.

He worried for a long time, then thought, forget it, anyway, they didn't dislike it, so they just went to the small half pot and went in.

Then he discovered again, dry, he couldn't use a kettle.

It's really not his fault, it's mostly Tony Stark's fault.

West stared wistfully at the complicated kettle that didn't seem to be a kettle. Since Tony arrived here, he took and remodeled everything in the haunted house in his free time.

After the transformation, the thing no longer looks like a usable thing.

Probably only Tony can understand how to use this thing, but Tony happens to be a person who can't use this thing at all.

Because they were in their own territory, whether it was Tony, Peter or West, they all instinctively relaxed their vigilance.

When he was struggling with the tea kettle, he suddenly heard a knocking sound outside the window.

He raised his head subconsciously, and saw a familiar face outside the window——

"Mother?"

He stared wide-eyed at the woman's face that suddenly appeared outside the window, and let out a cry of surprise.

The woman outside the window was his adoptive mother, Lila Bryan.

West was not born well, his parents died when he was very young, and he was raised in an adoptive family.

Lila Bryan, the woman he adopted in person, whom he called his mother.

Probably can barely be called the person he loves the most at the moment, the corner of West's mouth twitched.

"West, come out, I have something to tell you." The woman outside the window said softly.

but……

West looked at the face outside the window, thinking seriously.

There is a huge bug in this, Leila died in a car accident not long after he became an actor.

And... when will his adoptive mother be gentle with him?

His adoptive mother is a super-a woman. She has never learned the word gentle these years, but she treats West...

Thinking of his years of education, West couldn't help shaking, and then quickly pulled down the curtains.

So, that's definitely what "it" means!

West, who didn't think "it" was scary at first, now doesn't think "it" is scary anymore.

"It" was supposed to be trying to lure him out, but it didn't work.

West walked out with the teapot almost full of brewed tea leaves, thinking as he walked, it seemed that "it" was still very afraid of Stephen.

Returning to the calmness that a haunted house owner should have, he walked to the living room, and Stephen and Peter, who were talking, looked up at him at the same time.

That look made West tremble, and he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing." Peter answered first, for fear that Stephen would say something he couldn't accept.

Although the little boss is nice, that doesn't mean he is willing to make a pair with the little boss.

Although West found it strange, considering that Stephen was a big boss who always had many strange hobbies, he decided to tolerate him.

Then he put the tea in front of Stephen, and then told Stephen what just happened.

Stephen, who was trying to serve the tea, paused and looked up at West.

Obviously, the fact that the little boss is still sitting here means that nothing happened to him.

"You guessed right, 'it' should be trying to lure you out." Stephen said, "I've been guessing that this monster is not some kind of ghost, but a life conceived and raised by human fear."

"Boggart?" West said, immediately thinking of the famous creature from Harry Potter.

Stephen nodded, then shook his head again: "It's different from that."

Well, don't think that Doctor Strange doesn't watch movies. Since he discovered the wizarding world, he is also the one who has chased all the fantasy movies.

He had already noticed that that "it" was different from the ghosts he had driven away.

The wizarding world has always believed that everything has power, especially human emotions.

Human emotions will generate a kind of energy, and the accumulation of this energy will naturally give birth to a kind of creature.

Like death, dreams, time, and "it".

Stephen was once lucky enough to meet a so-called god represented by "Dream". He claimed to be a member of the endless family, conceived and born from the dreams of everyone in this world.

In that world, he had a little glimpse of the true meaning of the world.

And if he guessed correctly, this "it" should represent fear.

It's just that this fear becomes very weak after being defeated by courage.

He couldn't explain this to others, not just because they wouldn't believe it, but also because there was no way to talk about these things.

West nodded, he half understood what Stephen meant.

Someone mentioned the possible identity of "it" when analyzing the original novel. Although "it" appears as a clown most of the time, in fact he has changed many terrifying images.

It should be said that whatever the children in the story are afraid of, they will become whatever they are.

"It" is very likely not some kind of real life, but is conceived by people's fear of nature.

So the protagonists in the story defeated "it" not because of some special ability, but because they had courage, and courage can defeat fear.

But no matter how long it takes, the fear is always reborn, and decades later, "it" reappears.

West continued: "But 'it' doesn't seem to get in."

He was a little complacent when he said this, and his eyes on Stephen became more and more gentle.

Look, the role of the boss is played at this time.

It's a pity that Stephen couldn't get his tenderness.

West stroked his chin, a trace of deep thought appeared on his face.

Unlike Stephen's reason for thinking about the truth of "it", after realizing that "it" might be the embodiment of fear, his first reaction was not surprise but...

If "it" appeared in the haunted house scene, what kind of scene would it be?

The dedicated haunted house owner quickly returned to work after abandoning his little fear.

He thought hard, uncontrollably excited.

Think about it, if there is a monster that can change into the player's most feared image at any time and stay in the haunted house, do you still need a scene?As long as there is an "it" it is perfect!

He can put him in the zombie iron man scene, and whoever goes in has to go in vertically and come out horizontally.

Mom, I want "it".

That's Pennywise alive!

Stephen suddenly felt a chill. He raised his eyes and found that Peter was looking at him with sympathetic eyes.

And Tony, who he couldn't see, patted him on the shoulder lightly, and sighed: "I love you, Stephen, I decided not to take revenge on you for complaining about me in front of Peter just now."

Then the next second he saw the owner of the haunted house turned his head and said to him with a serious face: "Mr. Strange, if 'it' is really the embodiment of 'fear', what can we do?" Catch it?"

Stephen: "...?"

Stephen: "...!"
