[Comprehensive British and American] Final strategy achievement
123, return to the past 27
Ever since he learned of Leona's existence, Charles has been thinking about a question.
——What should he do to establish a close emotional connection with this child?
Charles was thinking about this issue when he went to pick her up from Leona's foster home. He was thinking about this issue after taking Leona back to Xavier Manor. After meeting Batman, he was still thinking about this issue.
Leona's specialness, Leona's unique thoughts, Leona's seemingly emerging dark tendencies... Charles saw all of this, and he was aware of the child's problem. Before he learned the truth, he also
He thought carefully about what made Leona so different, but he never realized what Leona's problems meant.
Now that he has learned part of the truth, he finally knows that this little girl hides a secret that is not simple.
What should he do?
If he was the father of the devil girl in that story, what should he do?
Even though Charles could confirm that most of what Batman said was true, he still listened to Leona explain it to him again.
Leona rarely resisted his words. Not long after he contacted Leona, she opened the space channel to his office.
The girl with an angelic face walked out of the space vortex. She was wearing a light blue beach skirt with distinctive ethnic characteristics. She had rosy cheeks and was obviously well taken care of by Eric.
"Long time no see, Charles!" Leona took a few steps forward lightly and sat on the swivel chair in front of the desk.
"Long time no see, Lina." After saying this, Charles suddenly didn't know what to say.
There was a feeling of worry in his heart. He was worried that after this conversation, Leona would alienate him.
Charles didn't know what the outcome of this conversation would be, or how Leona would react to his questions, so he was worried.
"Lina, I'm calling you back this time because I have something very important that I want to talk to you about." Charles considered his words carefully.
"You said you don't like being preached to, but as your father, I will always say something to teach you at some point... This is because I care about you, so I have to teach you and preach to you.
." He smiled bitterly, "When I was a child, I hated my parents telling me those truths. It wasn't until I became a father that I realized that some things had to be said."
"Oh, I understand what you are saying! Young saplings always need to be artificially corrected to grow taller and straighter. You are the gardener who prunes the saplings, and I am the sapling that needs to be pruned." Leo
Na said, "You don't have to beat around the bush, Charles. I actually know you went to see Bruce."
Charles was stunned and didn't react for a while.
"I also know the content of your conversation." Leona continued, "I also guessed that you came to me because you wanted to have a frank talk with me."
Charles' eyes became complicated.
If he had some thoughts that were close to self-deception just now, now he has completely confirmed Batman's words - he is not lying, Leona has really done some terrible things.
When Leona spoke the name "Bruce", her tone was natural, and there was nothing wrong with her expression. She seemed to have no objection to Charles going to meet Batman.
"He was your adoptive father?" Charles asked.
"You mean Bruce?" Leona said, "Yes, he was."
"Have you lived in Gotham?" Charles asked again.
Leona nodded: "And he lived for a long time."
"Is what that person said true?" Charles held onto the armrests of his wheelchair.
"You mean what Bruce revealed to you?" Leona said, "It's basically true. I went against Bruce's teachings, killed many people, and messed up the entire Gotham."
Charles took a deep breath, "Why do you do this?"
"That's the reason Bruce said." Leona said simply.
Charles remembered that Batman said that Leona did this series of things for no other reason than for fun.
"Do you really regard the world as a game?" His eyes were deep.
"For me before, this was just a game. But for me now, this is a game that I can fully immerse myself in." Leona replied.
"What feelings do you have for your former adoptive father? Can you tell me the answer? Lena." Charles asked such a question.
Leona looked into his eyes and smiled, "I think he is very contradictory, very profound, and very interesting to others. I like some parts of him, but I don't like everything about him."
A normal person's love should be taken care of carefully and not to be harmed in any way, but Leona's love is obviously not a normal person's love. She will bring emotions into her behavior, which can be both positive and negative.
Charles thought for a moment, "I read news reports from Gotham many years ago... What did you think after you did those things?"
"I feel like you are interviewing me like a news reporter." Leona said, "I don't have any ideas in my mind. If I have an idea, it is a satisfactory idea. I think I completed the mission goal beautifully, although after the mission is over
It left some small hidden dangers, but that’s nothing.”
Charles fell into a long silence, and Leona sat on the swivel chair and looked at his face.
In fact, none of the above questions were what Charles really wanted to ask.
What he really wants to ask is——
"What feelings do you have towards me, your biological father?"
"I like you and I care about you. You are the human being I care about most in this universe." Leona said calmly, "But I must say, even if you are the person I care about most, I can do everything for you
The changes made are also very limited.”
"My father is an ordinary father. He has the same moral values, views on good and evil, and world view as ordinary people. His thoughts are completely different from mine. He is more suitable to have an ordinary child. He
Children should be upright, brave, kind, and yearning for the light like all ordinary children, instead of being rebellious, violent, dark, and disrespectful of life like me."
Charles looked at Leona in shock.
She has always known that she is the only alien in the world. If an alien wants to continue living among the crowd, she must disguise herself as the same kind. If the alien does not want to pretend, then there will be no place for her to survive in the world.
Leona never pretends, so she has always been an alien in the eyes of others.
"I never expect others to agree. It is always difficult for human beings to agree with the truly correct person. However, once someone really agrees with me, I will also feel happy, because there are really too few people like me in this world. "Leona said, "For so long, there has been only one artificial intelligence that is not a human being that is the same kind as me to some extent."
"I can't say you're wrong, Lena," Charles whispered, "but you are definitely different."
"I know. That's why I was worried that you didn't like me a long time ago." Leona said, "But I'm not worried that you don't agree with my thoughts, but I'm worried that you will think that I am an evil devil who cannot be loved. I even thought that if my father was also a demon, then we would be the same kind."
"Aren't you worried that I don't agree with your thoughts?" Charles paused.
"Yes, I'm not worried. You will tolerate me, because my thoughts do not violate your principles, so you will definitely tolerate me." Leona smiled at the corner of her mouth, "The problem we are facing now is, my My thoughts have not touched your principles, but my actions have. My thoughts are the cause of my behavior. Because I have done this, you think my behavior and thoughts are Wrong. If I have this kind of thought in my heart but don't do this kind of behavior, then everything will be different. You probably won't think that my thinking is wrong, and at most you will think that I am something special."
"So this is the conclusion you came to in the end?" Charles sighed, "You thought from the beginning that I would tolerate your thoughts, but not your behavior?"
"Isn't it?" Leona asked.
Yes, that's true. Even Charles himself had to admit that Leona's guess was completely reasonable.
Human beings are creatures with limitations. They are often confused by superficial phenomena and ignore some deeper things.
As Leona just said, human beings will always care more about the right and wrong of their actions than the right and wrong of their thoughts.
Charles suddenly understood why Batman regarded Leona as a difficult enemy.
Not only can she accurately analyze her opponent, she can also accurately analyze herself.
Such enemies are formidable.
"Our conversation is about solving problems," Leona said, "and the biggest problem we face is that you don't agree with my behavior and I don't want to correct my behavior."
"I will not ask you to correct it." Charles said in a gentle tone, "Your past behavior has passed, and there is no need to correct it. And whether your current behavior is wrong, I actually don't know, I haven't had time to know... …So I won’t force you to correct it.”
Leona looked at him in surprise, thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid you won't always think like this, Charles."
"When you went to pick me up from Mr. and Mrs. Brandt's house, I had already thought of today's scene. What cannot be reconciled means that it cannot be reconciled. What cannot coexist means that it cannot coexist. If coexistence is forced, sooner or later conflicts will break out. , who knows whether we will become enemies one day in the future?"
Charles subconsciously thought of the tense relationship between Batman and Leona.
His expression became determined, "No! I will never..."
"Bruce also thought like you at first, and he was very determined, but you see we still became enemies." Leona shrugged her shoulders, "Charles, I never thought about taking my
Secrets are always hidden. You know the truth now. It can be said that part of it is the result of my push. So I have thought about this day for a long time. We can't live together forever...Will you become my enemy? Will you stop it?
What am I about to do? Will you support me and stand unwaveringly on my side?"
"My daughter will have to get married when she grows up. The father cannot stay with his daughter forever. Therefore, the separation should still be separated, but it just depends on the length of time."
