Superman

Chapter 291 Role Playing, Implied Text

After about twenty minutes of meeting and chatting, Luke has a deeper understanding of the little Charles in front of him.

His talk and behavior are trying to imitate adults.

Paired with that stern tone, meticulous hair, bow tie and suit.

Involuntarily, it reminds Luke of "Little Sheldon"-an annoying spirit with a heavy cleanliness and an equally clever mind.

The young Charles has a high degree of overlap with each other in image.

"Mr. President, the main reason I want to be a part of this college is-I need to find some companions and respect you."

Hearing Luke asking about the reason for enrolling, Charles seemed to have finished the draft and replied seriously: "I found out that I was different when I was eight years old."

"It was one night, and I was a little scared because of the stage play "Zorro" that I saw at night."

"Those dark shadows, monsters like bats, scared me."

The corners of Luke's mouth twitched, and the story seemed familiar.

In the dark universe next door, I mentioned "Zorro" every time and watched the show.

There must be a dark alley, a gunman, a broken pearl necklace, and... an orphan who lost his parents.

This classic drama is repeated several times almost every once in a while.

If Erskine influenced Steve Rogers' life, the cave in the Middle East changed Tony Stark.

That, the alley in Gotham, is probably Batman's lifelong nightmare.

"I couldn't sleep over and over, so I pushed the bedroom door and stood in the corridor."

"Then, I heard my parents arguing—it was a weird feeling. There was a wall and a thick door, but I heard their conversation clearly."

"It's not just a dialogue! There are also complaining words they didn't say in their hearts."

"I am like an out of control radio, receiving all information from the outside world."

"Those messy sounds, dark or terrible thoughts, filled my head."

"After that, I had a high fever for two days."

Charles's little face showed a touch of memory.

His natural ability awakened and appeared silently like this.

"You haven't told anyone else?"

Luke folded his hands and propped his chin.

His tone of voice is normal, but he sometimes gasps unconsciously, as if he is enduring something.

Charles, who was more keen in observation, discovered this.

But he didn't take it to heart, but continued: "No, Mr. Principal."

"This is my own secret. I dare not tell anyone that I am afraid of being sent to the hospital or receiving some terrible treatment."

In Charles' eyes, a touch of fear could not help.

Although he is much more mature than his peers, he is only a child after all.

In the face of sudden accidents and an elusive future, I still feel scared.

Therefore, he chose to hide.

"You did the right thing, Charles."

Luke nodded, agreeing.

The face covered with both hands twitched slightly.

The expression has also become weird, seeming to be suffering from some kind of stimulation.

He somewhat underestimated the White Queen, the other party's flexible tongue that can tie a cherry pole into a knot is not something ordinary people can bear.

My own joystick is like the pottery touched by the heroine in the movie "Human and Ghosts Are Coming".

Slippery autumn, high-speed friction, fancy rotation...

Had it not been for Luke's great perseverance, he would have been unable to endure such extreme "torture."

"I thought at one time that I was the only person in this world who was so different, able to listen to and read the thinking of others."

Charles spoke a little emotionally. He turned his head and looked at his dazed little sister, who was not quite right.

"Fortunately, I met Ruiwen and let me know that I am not unique and have compatriots similar to me."

"Since then, I have paid special attention to the news of mutants."

"Until I heard your speech, Mr. Principal, your interpretation of freedom, equality, and human rights moved me."

Charles's little face is full of sincerity, and his eyes are shining brightly, which is an emotion called "worship".

"So you bravely confessed the identity of the mutant to your parents and became the first student in this college... You are a good boy, Charles."

Luke was silent for a few seconds, leaned forward, smiled and said, "You are very talented and outstanding, and you will have a bright future."

"However, before tapping your potential, you must first face yourself and accept yourself."

"Charles, you don't have to be nervous about your identity, worry about being looked at by other people."

"The talent of mutants is not a terrible curse, painful disease-at least for you, it is not."

"It is the wings that let people get rid of the ordinary and fly to the clouds. It is also the key to open the door to evolution, allowing you to look at the world from a different perspective."

Luke opened his mouth and it was steaming chicken soup for the soul, completely substituting in the role of "life mentor".

"But, Mr. Principal, human beings are afraid of things they don't understand enough."

Charles hesitated. He was hiding his talents before, for fear of being discovered by others.

"If we stand in front of the stage and appear in public view, will it arouse their vigilance, disgust, and lead to violent conflict?"

I have to say that Charles is indeed a precocious child.

At his age, being able to think of race disputes and contradictions of existence through the two camps of humans and mutants has exceeded that of his peers.

"Now it shows the characteristics of conservatives and moderates."

Luke smiled slightly, leaning forward and leaning back slightly.

The tight face also loosened slightly.

Hide one's ability, ensure to live in harmony with humans, and avoid violent conflict...

These are the guiding thoughts of Professor Bald.

But he did not fully agree.

"We can't just see the drawbacks in everything, Charles. We must learn to look at problems dialectically, living space, racial disputes, these are internal contradictions."

"If you want to resolve it, you have to divert your attention through external conflicts."

"Maybe in a few decades, our footprint is not limited to land, sea and sky."

Luke said meaningfully, every time there is a major event, it is at least a cosmic crisis.

The earth is a special planet, it is the origin of the ancient gods, and it is secretly coveted by the demon gods of dimensions.

Every cosmic turmoil must start from it, or it will eventually affect it.

Luke is not a passive person, he likes to take the initiative.

Sooner or later, human beings will go out. When the time comes, problems such as living space and racial disputes will gradually disappear and become a footnote of history.

At that time, the countries and people on this planet will need to face the three major empires of the galaxy, the elders of the universe, and Thanos...

They will soon understand their insignificance, and they will know that internal friction is meaningless.

"I understand, Mr. Principal."

Charles seemed to realize it suddenly and nodded heavily.

All internal conflicts can be transferred through external conflicts.

Compared with the malicious alien races, mutants seem insignificant.

But, where are the aliens?

"The answer will be given to you in the future."

Facing Charles's doubts, Luke smiled mysteriously.

It's just that, immediately afterwards, his smile solidified.

The strong suction power like a water pump almost envelops the human soul.

"Nothing else, you can go out."

Luke spoke clearly and spoke slowly.

Charles left the office with his sister. Before he closed the door, he glanced at the principal who was holding his hands on the large table.

"Riwen, do you think... Mr. Principal, his expression seems very painful?"

When thinking back to the conversation, Charles felt that Superman was suppressing a certain emotion.

He is a mentally capable person and has a keen intuition in this regard.

"I'm hungry, Charles."

Ruiwen was ignorant and said, clutching her belly.

She didn't pay attention to the details at all, just thinking about having a dessert earlier.

"Well, maybe I read it wrong."

Charles took his sister by the hand and walked to the restaurant.

In the principal's office, the White Queen, who was not present, wiped the corners of her mouth and glanced at Luke, slightly proud.

"Is this your first time?"

In her question, there was a certain eagerness to compete.

"I tried it with Marina, but it was in a high-end restaurant."

Luke answered frankly.

"Huh. Then we will go to a high-end restaurant next time!"

The White Queen held her head up.

Although she has no thoughts of being jealous, she has a strong sense of winning or losing in this regard.

"Do you know this will only make me cheaper?"

Luke loosened his tie, he wanted to come to the last serious meeting.

But the White Queen became the principal at first, and the excitement of having a career is somewhat difficult to calm down.

"I can also make you a little cheaper, for the girl student who had to yield to the principal in order to get test results... what do you think?"

The White Queen turned around and messed up her blond hair, making herself more like a poor schoolgirl than a female principal with a strong aura.

"Or, the arrogant and rude female principal, and the strong security guard."

Luke cleared his throat, picked up the cup on the table, and took a sip of water.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he was really ready to move.

Role playing is a game that everyone likes.

Both men and women.

"Is it a bit too early at this time?"

Luke pretended to be a decent figure.

The White Queen kept pressing, she liked seeing Superman gaffes.

"Principal Cavill, if you can give me an A in the final exam... I can give a lot!"

The blond beauty blinked, her hands behind her back, with an innocent expression on her face.

hiss!

It's really fast to get into the show.

Luke said with emotion.

He decided to cooperate with each other's performance.

It's not because you can't hold it, give in to temptation.

I just want to simply play a role-playing game and do a good job as a principal.

Luke believes that he stays on the surface and superficial knowledge of this profession.

Need to dig deeper and more thoroughly the meaning.
