Earth Raiders progress report [comprehensive British and American]

Joshua's question gave Sheldon a pause. Leonard's roommate was now testing his own database, following Leonard's past experience.

Then he seemed to have finally come to his senses, and replied: "I don't know much about this area, but when it comes to money, it is easy to have economic disputes. I think that since you have mastered what you want to master knowledge, then these relationships are no longer necessary, but one thing I care about, this kind of object should not be effective for everyone, if your practice object has these needs from the beginning, Then maybe that can't be successfully applied to your romantic partner."

"You're right." Joshua nodded, agreeing with the other party's statement, "I will find time to return all their money, and then end these relationships. They really seem to have such a need from the very beginning. Although not as big as it is now, maybe this can't really be the solution to the problem."

This development finally made Leonard feel a little relieved, and then he remembered what Joshua means to scientists in the industry, "Well, that... I can ask you if you want to..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the beep on the opposite side of the screen, and then Joshua ended the conversation after checking the information, "One of my practice subjects contacted me, now it should be an end All this good opportunity, then I will hang up for the time being, goodbye, Dr. Cooper."

"Goodbye, Joshua." After Shelton finished speaking, the brown-haired youth disappeared from the screen.

Leonard, who was not mentioned at all, lowered his head silently, and finished reading what he hadn't finished as if speaking to himself, "Give me an autograph."

After finishing the video call with Sheldon, Joshua went to take a shower. The person who just sent him a message is a special one among all his practice objects, although this person’s daily behavior looks like A depraved rich man, but what is special about him is that he has the same face as the family he found for himself in the previous world—brother to be exact.

This somehow made Joshua pay more attention to him from the beginning, and then he discovered the source of the other party's current situation: his father.

That is really a very unqualified father. He domestically abused and sexually assaulted Patrick, who was a child many years ago. Even if Patrick held a celebration party in front of his grave, it would not be too much, but the shadow of the past is too much. It's not always good to live a life that affects the present, especially when taking | drugs is something that needs to be quit.

Now is also the time to quit. This is a good opportunity. Although Patrick always talks about quitting|drugs, it is impossible for this to go smoothly, especially when his father is still alive. Will start to repeat the same mistakes, as a so-called high class person, for the sake of family reputation, more maybe because of the threats he has received since childhood, he can't even make it public.

But it's different now, as long as there is a little bit of inadvertent news transmission, chain reaction, he doesn't need to do it himself, a natural death - that is really a natural death - just like that, unqualified A father always needs to be punished, especially such a father.

Now that old Melrose is dead, Patrick should start a new life, he should not continue to wallow in the past, he should be himself again, instead of living in the shadow of his father all his life, now end his relationship with him. Patrick's relationship should also be a more appropriate moment.

When Joshua arrived at the hotel, he still waited a while to meet Patrick, which is understandable. Patrick came from the UK and came to the United States to collect his father's ashes. This hotel has always been his home in the United States. Fixed location, although an approximate time has been agreed, there will still be some itinerary gaps.

He didn't wait in the room, apparently Patrick had another panic attack on the way, it seems that he really made up his mind to quit drugs after hearing the news of his father's death, and resisted the urge to take drugs along the way, so that he arrived at When he was in the hotel, he was still a little insane, so he stumbled a little bit. He looks good, and his clumsy look is also kind of cute.

This is somewhat similar to the situation when Joshua first met his younger brother in the last world. Of course, his younger brother does not take | drugs, but when they first met each other was still young, and he was also a bit clumsy Cute, this is the reason why he finally met Patrick and helped him get rid of old Melrose. With the same face and similar movements, he will definitely not be able to see his family in the previous world in this world. For Patrick is naturally a little more special than his other practice subjects.

But he didn't try to make Patrick his family in this world for a similar reason, Patrick is not his brother, he can't find a replacement, and he can't find a drug addict as his family, he might try He wants to help the other party climb out of this quagmire, but in the end it still depends on him to complete it. He doesn't need a family member who needs to spend a certain amount of time training to become a qualified family member.

It's not like he's looking for a pet.

"Mr. Melrose." When Patrick finally walked in front of him, Joshua said this. In fact, he was dressed more everyday than when we met before. They are all neatly dressed, but today they are more casual, because this is more or less a foreshadowing for the next conversation.

But the other party didn't seem to pay attention to this point, but felt a little relaxed after seeing Joshua.

"My panic attacks again." The tall and thin man sat down on the sofa in the room. He seemed to need a hug, but he still didn't have physical contact with Joshua because of the rules set between them. , just continued: "I think I need your help, I don't want to continue to use drugs to calm down, the old bastard is dead, I want to start again, I want to quit | drugs."

"That's fine," Joshua said, sitting across from Patrick, "but what do you want to do next?"

This made Patrick a little puzzled, "I need you to help me calm down."

"I mean," he stared into the eyes of the man in front of him, "what are you going to do after re|drugs?"

That finally made Patrick realize that Joshua wasn't asking about their upcoming trip, and then he started to think about the answer to the question, of course he can talk about anything, rehabilitate, plant flowers, travel...etc, But this is Joshua, and he knows he really hasn't thought about what he wants to do in the future.

Or rather, he wasn't even really making up his mind to get away from it all.

Before he came to the United States, he told his friend that he wanted to quit drugs, and when he went back a few days later, what the other party saw was a brand new self, but the reality was that on the car to the hotel, panic During the attack he was preoccupied with the idea of ​​giving himself a shot, and if he hadn't known that Joshua was waiting to help him ease the panic and possible drug|addiction episodes that would follow, he might have shot himself in the car Drug|Dealer's phone.

He suddenly realized that even though he knew all this was caused by his father, he couldn't wait to get rid of all the influence his father had left on him. Old Melrose crushed his dreams, and all the so-called People in the upper class have to praise a dead bastard noble just because his crimes were not revealed, and people who don't know will tell him that his father loved him, but he doesn't even have his own true love. Something to try to do.

The British man suddenly burst into tears at this very moment.

"You need a goal." Joshua said that, he can roughly guess the psychological journey of the other party, because he knows what the other party has gone through, and has also consulted relevant information. Rehabilitation|drugs is not an easy task, "I am now A hug in friendship, but I’m here today to tell you that I’m ready to end this, and you need to work to end this too.”

Patrick didn't speak for a while. He should have heard what Joshua said, but he was still immersed in his emotions. Joshua returned the things that belonged to Patrick to the other party. After thinking about it, he still gave the other party a hug before leaving the room.

Other practice subjects were not as easy to deal with as Patrick. Most people who met on this day were panicked about Joshua returning things to them, as if they had done something wrong, so Joshua stopped accepting them It made these relationships end particularly troublesome, and it also made Joshua realize that direct face-to-face conversations are not a good idea. Although there are better talkers, they are not the majority.

Finally Joshua returned to Gotham.

There is no object of his practice here, he will come here because the scientific research job he changed after being the pianist in the restaurant is still in Gotham, because the opportunity is that one day the young master of the Wayne family brought his female companions Came here, and then almost discovered the pianist's academic talents after a little mess, and invited him to work at Wayne Group.

Joshua naturally agreed. Although the clown caused this little chaos, it was still part of what he needed. He needed to be in a company with strong scientific research capital and military capital to be able to communicate with him at the lowest cost. It would take too much time and cost to start a company to complete his plan in the fastest time, but he can even build a spaceship, and of course he is also qualified as a scientific researcher.

But he's not here for work, it's simple, the Joker caused him to get hurt before a date, he needs revenge, and considering that things like being late for dates often happen to Peter, incentives aren't enough to make a superhero Leaving the task behind, maybe his move to New York is a good idea, since his ultimate goal is to get a legally recognized family relationship, which can also be counted as the next step in the family plan.

Today's clown is easy to find, because he escaped from prison, and Batman is chasing him. With Batman's clues and deduction, the clown is not so difficult to find, so he beat this Gotham urban legend before he found the clown. The lunatic paused, and then retaliated at the part where the opponent shot him.

That should have been fatal, but Batman's intervention caused him to miss it when Batman arrived.

In view of a series of things, it was too late, and Joshua submitted his resignation until the next day.

"Why do you want to resign all of a sudden?" President Wayne, who was half leaning on the back of his chair, said this. Compared with the usual company meetings, he seemed a little more serious.

"Gotham is too dangerous," Joshua said.

Bruce, who witnessed the opponent beating the clown violently last night: "..."

The author has something to say: In view of the style background setting of this article and the author's writing skills, the proportion of Melrose in this article is very small, but I especially want to tell you about the drama "Melrose"

It is adapted from a novel, and the novel is written based on the author's own experience, which is equivalent to a work based on reality. It is said that the author is worse and more desperate than in the play. I was attracted after watching the first episode. Although the background is very heavy and even a bit depressing, but the lines, filming, acting, and presentation are all very good, at least it will never make people feel artificial, and there is a bit...comedy element?What impressed me most was some of the lines in it——

"The sun rises as usual, and nothing has changed." (This is a quote, but it's a particularly good one)

"Cruelty is the opposite of love, not some clumsy way of expressing love."

"No one should treat another person like this."

"A window that can't be used to jump through has a fart!"

In the end, the drama should be regarded as HE, uh...but if you can't watch the little angels of the Yuzhi series, emmmmm is not very recommended
