[Comprehensive] Uncle Ba's food paradise

After meeting the Kents, Hannibal felt relieved.Obviously, this couple is just ordinary people, and they are the kind who can see through the bottom line at a glance.The other party's various expressions of worry and guilt made it easy for Hannibal to discover that the two of them had no special abilities at all—even ordinary people who had never seen other people with special abilities before.

Obviously, there is something wrong with little Kent-Clark's parentage.Even if it is a recessive inheritance of mutants, the family should have seen or heard of rumors and other things, rather than accidentally discovering a panda, thinking that others must think it is a strange creature, so they panic and hide it, without knowing it Even if pandas are rare, others can see them in zoos.

Even if the mutants were strange, it wasn't to the extent that they were nervous.Unless the kid isn't a mutant at all.

Combined with Clark's previous performances, Hannibal had a vague guess in his mind.

So sitting on the sofa at Kent's home, facing two nervous parents, he spoke.

"I think Clark told you before, yes, I found out about him. What I want to talk to you about is what you did with this kid. You let him suppress his powers and live with ordinary human beings— —I know you are worried and afraid, after all, there may not be one of his kind on the entire planet. But what you are doing is killing his nature. I am not talking about his character, but his body. From Biologically speaking, you're crippling him."

"...What did you say? Crippled?!"

The Kents were stunned, never thinking that the matter was so serious.

"Have you heard of muscle atrophy? People who are paralyzed and unable to move their feet, because they do not move their limbs for a long time, the muscles degenerate, and eventually the limbs become very small and weak. This is why paralyzed patients must exercise and rebuild. Keep your body healthy, otherwise their healthy cells will be absorbed as nutrients, weakened, and degenerated."

Hannibal explained that he knew that besides the couple, the young Clark could also hear his words. After all, he did not lower his voice, and the other party had super hearing.

"I used to be a doctor with clinical qualifications, and I have more experience in this area than you. Although I haven't actually tested Clark's abilities in all aspects, from my observations, many of his physical characteristics are far from human beings. No matter how much he looks like, he's not human."

After hearing this, Mr. Kent retorted intuitively: "He is human, he is our son!"

Hannibal replied calmly: "No one denies that he is your son, Mr. Kent. But this cannot change the objective facts. Forcibly ignoring the facts is only hurting him. What you are doing is equivalent to taking the fish out of the water and letting it Resist not breathing with gills, or force the lion to be vegetarian. Yes, he loves you, so try to meet your requirements, but you are slowly murdering him."

"It's not what you said at all!"

"Calm down, dear! Listen to him. I want...I want to hear him finish."

Clark's mother put both hands on her husband's arms, forcing him to continue listening.The man looked at his wife's expression, and finally sat down angrily and sadly.Yes, he didn't want to admit it, but he was as afraid as his wife that what the other party said was the truth.

"I'm sorry, but I didn't want to hurt you or take him away from you. By getting in touch with him, I know that he is a kind child. It is your tolerance and love that makes him grow into a proud child."

Hannibal comforted in a soft voice, the tense and relaxed narration could easily force others to step into his pace and follow his train of thought unconsciously.

"I like him very much. If I don't like him, I don't need to sit here and persuade you for a child who is not familiar with him—a child who is not ordinary at all, and who might cause trouble. I want to give him as much as you Best of all, let him grow up healthy and happy. It’s just that the way you used to do was not suitable, and I want to give you some advice.”

The Kent couple breathed a sigh of relief, hearing that the other party was not hostile, they let go of their previous tension and hostility.They watched the old man who seemed to be knowledgeable look at them with sincere eyes, as if encouraging them to strengthen their confidence.

"Can you be more specific, please?"

Hannibal nodded, very satisfied with the other party's reaction.

"He can hear things that others can't hear, see things that others can't see, or have other abilities. But it's actually not surprising, human beings are already on the way of evolution."

Hannibal noticed that the other party's eyes drifted a little, obviously feeling that what he said was wrong.Which means... little Kent, Clark, he's not even human?

"Actually, I suggest a simpler way to deal with it. Clark is your family, but don't treat his race as a human. Have you read fantasy novels? Aren't there elves, dwarves, trolls, etc. in it? You treat him as an elf Well, it looks like a human, even more beautiful and powerful, but its habits are completely different from humans. Elves can be friends with humans, even lovers, family members; but you can't force elves to eat meat, it will kill him Life."

The elf is a good metaphor, and it puts the Kents at ease.So Hannibal went on to say;

"From my observations, besides vision and hearing, your son's strength is also amazing. I don't know how many times his strength is that of ordinary people, but I know that if I were a strong man, I would carry it every day. To hold a cup with the power of a feather, to hug someone with the power to touch an ant, to live with this kind of control—that would give me a lot of mental stress, and make my muscles atrophy. That's what I think you guys think about The reason why he treated it incorrectly is that, if it continues, it will be a kind of harm to his psychology and physiology."

The Kents heaved a sigh of relief, it turned out they were talking about this!

"At home we didn't restrict his use of his powers," Mr Kent explained, "that's why we live in such a remote place, no one will notice that he is different."

Hannibal nodded: "That's correct. But the proportion of time that allows him to relax himself is still too small. He spends most of his day at school, and during most of this time, he To suppress one's own strength to live, this will cause his body function to degenerate and eventually become out of balance. It's like in those magic novels, the ability riot of a magician with magic power usually rebounds because of suppression, for a long time Do, in addition to the atrophy of physiological functions, there is also a possibility that he will become completely unable to control his own power."

Hearing the possibility, the Kents immediately tensed up.They believed Hannibal's words without any doubt. The other party's professional knowledge, his previous status as a doctor, perfect speculation, etc., made them believe that what the other party said was true.

"Then what should we do? Let him use his ability? No, if others find out that he is different, he will be driven away, expelled, and we will lose him. We cannot accept this!"

Hannibal's eyes softened.These two are more worried about losing their loved ones than the troubles ahead, the difficulties they might face, and everything else.

Why is love always so weak and embarrassed, yet so tempting and charming?

The author has something to say: Uncle Ba: We need to make sure his muscles are in good condition.

Little Kent: I don’t know why I feel so cold{{(>_<)}}
