Earth Raiders progress report [comprehensive British and American]

Khan naturally didn't have a good face when he saw Peter. Even though Joshua was so clear-cut that he stabbed him personally last time, it was not a good omen that this person would appear here, and he didn't look at it. If it is wrong, this person seems to have come out of Joshua's room, which inevitably makes people worry about what the character who should have been on the opposite side of Joshua will do to his brother before.

"Why are you here?" The black-haired reformer looked unhappy as always, "Does the intruder have anything to do with you?"

Compared with the previous confrontation, Spider-Man, who has grown a lot and is prepared, looks much calmer, and he even shrugged fairly harmlessly, "Of course I'm here for my boyfriend."

This answer made Khan frowned, "You haven't given up yet?"

In fact, Peter, who was heavy enough, did not continue to forcefully pretend to be relaxed in the end, and instead asked: "Do you know what your biggest disadvantage is?"

The completely different appearance of the young man from last time made Khan realize that the other party had indeed undergone some changes, but he didn't know whether the changes were good or bad.

"Because you are already the most logically perfect, no matter what you do, you won't let him be touched." Peter said, with a bit of pretentious insidious cunning on his face, if it was in the past, it was completely related to temperament Inconsistent and contradictory, but at the moment when the psychology has matured a lot from a certain angle, it is almost convincing, "But I am different."

This was simply a preview of some conspiracy plan. Khan immediately had an ominous premonition, and soon, this premonition came true.

Peter "kills" Doctor Strange who looks like he's about to do Joshua harm.

As guessed, the intruder was Strange. The Supreme Mages would travel across time and space to take care of their affairs. It was weird enough, but in fact, even Merlin was not sure enough to defeat Lucifer. The inexperienced Strange The odds of Qi Neng really causing much harm to Joshua, who inherited Lucifer's power, are really very small. Although both of them are equally gifted, Joshua's modified mind has far exceeded the normal genius level of human beings. up.

So in fact, the damage that seemed to be caused was just an appearance, not to mention that after Peter made such a statement, it was clearly a show.

And pretty badass.Khan glanced at the mage lying on the ground, and was about to remind Joshua when Strange stood up by himself.

The doctor was still holding the feigned death props in his hand, and the expression on his face was obviously not used to this kind of playful performance, but he was proficient in the fight with real knives and guns, "Hey, magic props."

Maybe there is an embarrassment that there is a real mage who uses magic, because sometimes ordinary people who don't know the supreme mage often only regard the doctor as a magician.

In fact, Strange also thought about using magic, just like when facing Dormammu, he had the time gem, then death would be unreal. Joshua is in charge of hell and has a certain influence on human souls. Controlling power, of course, can't easily let the fake death deceive the king of hell, but it is also equivalent to letting the young avenger really kill him once, so in the end he still didn't really do that.

And "it's enough for Joshua to almost think that I really killed you for a moment."

Peter, who could almost tell that Strange wanted to propose something, added this.

If it was an ordinary relationship problem, Strange certainly wouldn't mind letting himself die for the first time, but after asking Peter what his plan was, he still realized the seriousness of the problem for him sex.

Peter's plan was based on the discussion between Joshua and Hannibal about Lily's influence on him and his feelings, which means that this plan is based on the fact that Joshua has no feelings now, and Peter wanted to replicate the little Joshua feeling he cared about when Lily killed Ned.

So Strange naturally understood the problem of Joshua's lack of feelings.

If Joshua has emotions, then even if he has any desire to rebuild the world order, based on his own personality, he was able to manage hell well before, and he can manage hell well now, but it’s different if Joshua doesn’t have emotions. The king of hell, you don't know what will happen when the other party starts to think that managing hell is not important, and whether there is hell is not important.

Well, in Joshua's eyes, this may be a key part of awakening emotions, and Peter's plan is also an important part for him.

Without Khan's reminder or Strange's initiative to "resurrect", Joshua certainly noticed that something was wrong, but he still had difficulty understanding this farce-like performance.

"But you still felt something the moment I killed him?" Peter said, "because you said I couldn't do such a thing."

"You really still can't do such a thing." The young man with amber eyes didn't seem to be touched at all, but Joshua barely understood the purpose of Peter's performance, "You're trying to influence me, and That conversation between Sherlock and Hannibal makes you think that if I did that I'd learn what affection is."

He did feel a certain touch when Lily killed Ned, and thought that this might be a key point, and what Peter did just now did make him feel similar to the weaker and short-lived feeling at that time, but this time It doesn't mean that touch is really the key to open the door of emotion. That feeling can also be interpreted as unexpected and overly surprised, because he didn't know what it felt like to be overly surprised.

Now he really didn't feel any difference from before.

Peter said honestly: "Actually, I don't really expect that as long as you do this, you will learn feelings as easily as... there is a switch that is turned on."

"If I want you to understand what emotion is, I should seek help from a Vulcan with spiritual fusion ability or Professor X from the Academy of Mutants." The young man with brown hair and brown eyes smiled, "And even if you do that, it's not Saying it can really make you feel and understand.”

"I'm here to prove my worth." Peter said this, with the same sincerity in his eyes as before.

This sentence is not very like Spider-Man's style, so Joshua also waited for the other party to explain what he meant.

"The root of your need for family is the touch that Lily made you feel at that time." Speaking of this, Peter quickly added: "I know, that's not really the key to learning emotions, but it still makes you feel I feel that this kind of thing is different from others, so I think this may be a goal that can be barely interesting in a boring world."

"Establishing order, too," he said, "before Lily, grown-ups already made you feel stupid and presumptuous, and if mom had postpartum depression, then she shouldn't have another baby and didn't have to pretend she was fine , since he is sick, he should go to the hospital for treatment. On the surface, my father is being a good father and husband, but he doesn’t really understand what is going on with his children and his wife. Grandma also..."

In the end, Peter still didn’t continue his grandmother’s topic, “This family makes you feel forced to be beautiful, but the core is chaotic, only the younger sister is innocent as a baby, and the Bible says that Joshua was the one who established the new order, so you Decided to start with this family and aim to build a new order, because you don't know what you want."

The topic Peter mentioned about the past made Joshua take a closer look at his former lover, "It sounds like you have done a lot of research on me."

"Yeah, after all, I love you, and the knife you stabbed me made me unable to understand what happened." A look of relief appeared on the young man's face again, like some kind of self-mockery, "I have to figure things out what's going on."

The Lord of Hell tilted his head, "So?"

"And now, your goal of establishing a new order has been accomplished, family..." At this point, Peter paused before saying, "Khan is a perfect family for you, but because of him It's perfect, killing people for you will only make people feel nothing to be surprised about, he can't do what Lily did, so you have no goal now."

"So you think you are more valuable as a family member than him? Because you can do what Lily did, just by acting like a farce?" Joshua's face was expressionless, and his tone didn't fluctuate much. But it still makes people feel a certain irony.

He nodded on the chest of the person opposite, "You are not in my current trust range. If I want to cooperate with someone to find another life goal, Khan is also a more reliable person than you."

"But you've noticed it, right? Khan planned everything in advance to remove my qualifications as a so-called family member." The young avenger's eyes seemed to light up, "That means it wasn't because of my own initiative. Not qualified, he made me look disqualified."

This incident made sense. He did know what Khan had planned that day, but he didn't fully know what the other party had planned, and it was indeed a bit weird that Peter had been unable to speak.

"Logically speaking, I actually meet your requirements, so there is no difference between me and him." Peter grabbed his boyfriend's hand. He knew that Joshua relied on logic and analysis, and he wanted to convince Joshua In fact, it still depends on conforming to the other party's logic. This kind of action for emphasis and sincerity is not really effective, but he is a person with feelings after all.

Under the unfriendly eyes of the black-haired reformer, Peter made the final conclusion to Joshua, "And now you need to find a new target. I am obviously much better than him, am I not?"

I have to say that what Peter said is still reasonable, but still cannot ignore the other party's status as a superhero. From a certain point of view, he is a villain that is similar to being defeated in the game. It cannot be ruled out that Peter simply uses this There is no way to try to defeat him. After all, the opponent is indeed not strong enough to do this, so he can only use other methods.

So the king of hell with soft brown hair was not immediately convinced, "Then what is the goal you are trying to set for me? To maintain world peace, not to fight against superheroes, and to manage the demons of hell well?"

Peter didn't feel hurt by Joshua's reaction. Since he really studied his boyfriend deeply, he naturally knew what kind of person he was.

At this moment, the young man finally returned to his usual appearance, smiling without any haze, "You know, I became Spider-Man only because I felt the need to do what I should do after gaining the ability, I am not here to defeat the devil You are not a warrior who needs to be defeated."

"So actually I don't know what my goal in life is. I'm just a student who hasn't graduated from university yet, and my biggest goal is to marry you." Peter paused, "It was you who said that we are based on Marriage is the prerequisite for dating."

Although some information about Peter was deleted, Joshua still remembered this sentence.

The young hero next door seems to have finally remembered that there are other people around, and he is a little embarrassed, but he is straightforward in expressing his meaning, "So what I mean is, since we don't know what there is goal, why not look for it together? Of course, it would be better if you are willing to complete my small goal of getting married first."

"In addition, I also consulted a certain netizen of yours. Thanks to him being a relatively famous physicist, it is not too difficult to find." When Peter mentioned the netizen and the physicist, Joshua could confirm what the other party said. It was Sheldon, and Peter continued: "I think Dr. Cooper's suggestion is very reasonable. We can also write a contract to avoid situations that both parties don't want to happen. If there are magic constraints, you can rest assured .”

Joshua looked at Peter for a while, and finally nodded, "What you said makes sense."

"Dr. Cooper is a solid scientist indeed," he said.
