Which one is better if the officials are forced to die together [Comprehensive British and American]

New York University cannot be said to be that kind of school with special characteristics. At least in this world, all aspects of this university are mediocre. Even the buildings are well-balanced and well-regulated. unsightly.

Carl's clothes are not out of place in this place where the average age is about 20 years old, but Louise has attracted the attention of many male students with excess hormones because of her professional attire and undisguised good looks.

If it weren't for Carl walking beside Louise, he himself looked very tall and handsome, and there would probably be several groups of people who came to strike up a conversation with Louise one after another.

"You're really popular, Sister Luer." Carl thought it was funny, "When you were in college, you were probably stopped by people a lot, right?"

"I'm not interested in naive little boys, except you," Louise said. "Besides, we can't say which of us is more popular."

"Huh?" Carl just uttered such a syllable, but was stopped by two young girls.

One of the two girls shyly grabbed her companion's cuff, and the other ignored her good friend's dodge, and showed a bright smile at Carl: "Hey handsome guy, do you mind exchanging contact information with us?"

"Sorry." Carl glanced at Louise, who was watching a good show not far away, "I have a boyfriend."

The expressions of the two girls changed at a speed visible to the naked eye of ordinary people. They took a few steps back, stared at Karl, and moved away in surprise.

Carl and Louise passed them calmly, and after walking a short distance, Louise suddenly said, "I'm sorry."

"for what?"

"I should have stopped them for you."

"Never mind," Carl said, "I know what I'm up against better than you do."

"But it shouldn't be like this, you shouldn't face this." Louise looked angrier than Carl himself, "I really can't understand their thoughts, have you seen their expressions? It seems like you are some prehistoric Like a monster. I don't like it, I don't like the look in their eyes."

"Calm down, Luer, it's not a big deal. People can never understand each other - everyone thinks and acts from their own perspective, from ordinary people to high-level government officials, everyone is like this: people who believe in themselves Faith is the only belief, the way of the self is the only way, and the will of the self is the only will." Carl said, "If I have learned anything from this world for sure over the years, it is that throughout life, everyone is Do everything you can to eliminate dissidents."

After the words came out of the mouth, Carl realized that this should not be Carl.What Al said, Carl.Al lives in a honeypot. He sees everyone as a good person, and his understanding of the world will not be so cold.

But this is not like what Superman would say. Superman's words will not be so harsh and pessimistic, and they will not carry such strong irony.

He glanced at Louise with some concern, not knowing how Louise would feel if he showed such a side.

Louise's reaction was calmer than he imagined: "Sometimes you are really beyond people's perception, my dear. You are like an aggregation of several personalities, and most of the time you are what people think That Kal-El, but every once in a while, you become someone we don't even know."

"Um..." Carl said.

"That's why you're with Lex Luthor?" Louise asked abruptly, "Because you think you can expose your whole self in front of him?"

"You seem to be curious about us. You asked me similar questions when you interviewed me."

"I've never denied it, and I guess it's my curiosity that made me the best reporter for the Daily Planet, and that's what I do about everything. Even though my curiosity makes me very curious Not likable. People are afraid of people who get to the bottom of things, because relationships in modern society are very fragile." Louise said, "But your relationship with Lex is very... I don't know what to say, between you The state of the room fascinates me."

"Did you just say that you were obsessed with both of us at the same time?"

"It's hard for me to deny that."

"Don't worry, Lex and I both admire you too. You fit Lex and I's needs for a partner perfectly, just like we happen to meet your criteria for a spouse. Screenwriter's joke, isn't it?"

"Now our conversations are starting to get weird."

"You started first." Carl stopped walking with a smile, "Wait here, Luer, she's finished class."

Three minutes later, hundreds of young students walked out of the gate talking and laughing in groups, blocking the wide staircase tightly.

Even in such a crowded environment, Wanda is still very eye-catching.

Not only because of her brilliant red hair and pretty face, but also because among so many people, she was the only student holding the textbook alone, alone.No space was deliberately left around her, and the students who were close to her did not deliberately avoid her. From this point, it can be seen that she is not the kind of role that everyone avoids in school.

If she doesn't get ostracized, but doesn't make friends, it can only mean that she is the one who actively ostracizes others.

Carl, who had expected this situation for a long time, stood quietly at the corner of the stairs in an unobtrusive place. When Wanda passed by him, Carl stopped her in a low voice: "Wanda."

She looked up, and then showed a look of surprise, crossed the crowd diagonally, and walked towards Carl.

"Sir." She said, with a worried expression on her face.

"Let's find a place to talk about it," Carl said.

Wanda's expression became more disturbed, but she didn't refuse. Instead, she took advantage of being a local snake, and led Carl and Louise out of the school gate, and walked into a bookstore with a very warm atmosphere.

The owner of the store is a lazy middle-aged man who looks very familiar with Wanda. He just raised his eyelids and glanced at them. After receiving a slight nod from Wanda, he lowered his head and focused his attention on the book I'm reading.

He is watching Tropic of Cancer.

Behind the cash register, there are several small independent private rooms, which are fully equipped with tables, chairs, bookshelves, a few bottles of red wine and a coffee machine.Wanda sat down on one side of the table, and Carl chose the one directly opposite Wanda.

After deliberating for a few seconds, Louise chose to walk behind the coffee machine, where there was also a high stool, and she sat down.

"Long time no see, first... Carl." Wanda said hesitantly, "Is there something urgent you came to see me?"

"There's nothing urgent. I'm just curious about your situation in the new environment, so I decided to do a little investigation." Carl smiled, "Don't be nervous, I'm not here to criticize or educate you. Charles has such a thing. It's not my turn to worry."

Xavier College, Headmaster's Office.

The aroma of black tea rose slightly, and Pietro sat obediently across from Charles's desk, holding a cup in both hands, feeling that something was wrong with him under the loving eyes of the principal.

"Relax, Pietro, I just want to know about you." Charles smiled kindly, "I heard you didn't study business management like Wanda?"

Pietro nodded: "Yes, Principal. I am going to study medicine."

"I already know your choice, and I have to say, I'm a little surprised by it." Charles said with a smile in his voice, "Would you mind talking to me about why you chose this way? As far as I know, you didn't Going to university. That's the choice most people at Xavier would make."

His gentle attitude has the power to calm people's hearts. At least when he was called to the office, Pietro gradually relaxed.

"Superman... talked to me about it," Pietro said hesitantly, "about the future of mutants, and my future."

Charles raised his eyebrows, motioning for him to continue.

Unaware that the twin sister was facing the same conversation, Pietro continued:

"You know I often travel to other cities because of my speed. Last time when I was in the Metropolis, Superman spotted me and he told me about it. He didn't ask me about my own plans at first, just Ask about Wanda. I told him Wanda was studying at New York University, and then he asked me why I didn’t study with Wanda, and I said I didn’t want to go to college and wanted to join the X-Men directly.”

This was exactly Pietro's original plan, and Charles knew it, but after Pietro talked about it, he nodded to encourage the other party to continue talking.

"Then Superman asked me—"

"Are you sure this is the life you want?" Carl asked Wanda. "I want you to be sure that you didn't choose this path out of hatred, or to take responsibility, or to prove anything."

"I'm not asking you to completely eliminate the influence of the past, which is unrealistic; given your experience, it is even inhumane to ask you to forget the past or simply see everything in the past as a necessary ordeal in life."

"But I still hope that you can experience something from it, something good, something I'm sure you already know but have been rejecting, such as the preciousness and beauty of life."

"Don't feel self-loathing and fear because of peace of mind, Wanda, the process of forgetting hatred and pain is never better than going through them. You will be shocked by your inertia and cowardice. This kind of self-blame and guilt will make good people Crazy, but accepting that you're recovering is your best path to peace."

When I rescued you from the lab, I hoped that you could live like ordinary people.

But the mutants who really gradually built themselves up are extremely rare, they either fear ordinary people, or they hate ordinary people extremely.

"Pietro is better than you at this point." Carl suddenly smiled, "Most of the boys in this age group are quite heartless. Were you surprised when you heard him say that he was going to be a doctor?" ?”

"Actually, I'm not sure whether I want to be a doctor in the future, but I think it's pretty good to be a doctor in the future." Pietro spread his hands openly, "That's what I think."
