Superman

Chapter 289 Role-playing, implicit text

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

His conversation and behavior are all trying to imitate adults.

Paired with that serious tone, as well as meticulous hair, bow tie and suit.

Involuntarily, Luke is reminded of "Little Sheldon" - an annoying guy with severe mysophobia and an equally smart mind.

The image of the young Charles closely overlaps with that of the other party.

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

When Luke asked about the reason for enrolling in school, Charles seemed to have already prepared the plan and replied seriously: "I discovered that I was different when I was eight years old."

"It was one night. I felt a little scared because of the stage play "Zorro" I watched that night."

"Those dark shadows, like bat-like monsters, scared me."

The corner of Luke's mouth twitched, this plot seemed familiar.

In the dark universe next door, every time "Zorro" is mentioned, watch the show.

There will inevitably 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, that cave in the Middle East changed Tony Stark.

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

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

"Then, I heard my parents quarreling - it was a strange feeling. There was a wall and a thick door, but I could hear their conversation clearly."

"It's not just the conversations! There are also the complaints that they keep in their hearts and don't say out loud."

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

"Those chaotic sounds, either dark or scary thoughts, filled my head."

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

There was a hint of memory on Charles' little face.

His innate ability quietly awakened and appeared.

"You haven't told anyone else?"

Luke crossed his arms and rested his chin.

His tone was normal, but sometimes he would gasp unconsciously, as if he was enduring something.

Charles, who has keen observation skills, discovered this.

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

"This is my own secret. I dare not tell anyone, for fear that I will be sent to the hospital or receive some terrible treatment."

There was a hint of fear in Charles's eyes.

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

Facing sudden accidents and an unpredictable future, we still feel scared.

Therefore, he chose to hide it.

"You did the right thing, Charles."

Luke nodded and agreed.

The face that was covered with both hands twitched slightly.

His expression also became weird, as if he was suffering from some kind of stimulation.

He had somewhat underestimated the White Queen. Her flexible tongue, which could tie cherry stems into knots, was not something that most people could bear.

My joystick is like the pottery touched by the heroine in the movie "The Last Days".

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

If Luke hadn't had great perseverance, he would have been unable to endure such extreme "torture".

"I once thought that I was the only one in the world who was so unique and could listen to other people's voices and read other people's thoughts."

Charles spoke with some emotion, not caring about the principal who was not quite right, and turned his head to look at his sister, whose eyes were dazed and in a state of confusion.

"Fortunately, I met Rui Wen, who made me realize that I am not unique and that there are compatriots similar to me."

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

"Until I heard your speech, Mr. Principal, I was deeply moved by your explanation of freedom, equality, and human rights."

Charles's little face was full of sincerity, and his eyes were shining brightly, which was an emotion called "admiration".

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

Luke was silent for a few seconds, leaned forward, and said with a smile: "You are very talented and capable, and you will have a bright future."

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

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

"The gift of mutants is not some terrible curse or painful disease - at least not to you."

"It is the wings that allow people to escape from the ordinary and fly to the clouds. It is also the key that opens the door to evolution and allows you to look at the world from a different perspective."

Luke opened his mouth and heard steaming chicken soup for the soul, fully assuming the role of "life coach".

"But, Mr. Principal, humans are afraid of things they don't understand well."

Charles was a little hesitant. He had been hiding his talents for fear of being discovered by others.

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

It must be said that Charles is indeed a precocious child.

At his age, he is able to think about racial disputes and existential conflicts through the two camps of humans and mutants, which is much beyond his peers.

"Now he is showing the characteristics of a conservative and a moderate."

Luke smiled slightly, leaned forward and leaned back slightly.

The tense face also relaxed slightly.

Hide your abilities to ensure harmony with humans and avoid violent conflicts...

These are the guiding thoughts of Professor Baldhead.

But he doesn't fully agree.

"You can't just see the disadvantages in everything, Charles. We must learn to look at problems dialectically, including living space and racial disputes. These are all internal contradictions."

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

"Perhaps in a few decades, our footprints will no longer be limited to land, sea and sky."

Luke said meaningfully, every time a big event happens, it is at least a cosmic crisis.

The earth is a special planet. It is the origin of the ancient gods and is secretly coveted by the dimensional demons.

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

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

Sooner or later, mankind will have to go out. By then, issues such as living space and racial disputes will gradually disappear and become footnotes in history.

By then, the countries and people on this planet will have to face the three major empires of the galaxy, the Elders of the Universe, Thanos...

They will soon understand their own insignificance and the pointlessness of internal friction.

"I understand, Mr. Principal."

Charles seemed to suddenly realize it and nodded heavily.

All internal contradictions can be transferred through external contradictions.

Compared to alien races with malicious intentions, mutants are insignificant.

But where are the aliens?

"The future will give you the answer."

Facing Charles' doubts, Luke showed a mysterious smile.

However, his smile solidified immediately.

The strong suction force is like a water pump, and it can wrap up a person's soul.

"If there's nothing else, you can go out."

Luke's articulation is clear and his enunciation is slow.

Charles took his sister out of the office. Before closing the door, he glanced at the principal, who was holding the large table with his hands.

"Ruiwen, have you ever felt that... Mr. Principal, his expression seems to be in pain?"

When thinking back on the conversation, Charles felt like Superman was suppressing some emotion.

He is a psychic and has very keen intuition in this area.

"I'm hungry, Charles."

Rui Wen looked confused and said, holding her stomach.

She didn't pay attention to those details at all, she just wanted to have a dessert early.

"Okay, maybe I saw it wrong."

Charles held his sister's 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?"

There was a certain competitiveness in her question.

"Marlena and I tried it once, but it was in a high-end restaurant."

Luke answered honestly.

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

The White Queen holds her head high.

Although she has no jealousy, she has a strong sense of victory in this aspect.

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

Luke loosened his tie. He originally wanted to have a serious meeting.

But Queen Bai was the principal for the first time, and her excitement about her career was somewhat difficult to calm down.

"I can make it easier for you. You are a female student who has to submit to the principal for the sake of test scores... What do you think?"

The White Queen turned around and messed up her blond hair, making herself look more like a pitiful female student than a powerful headmistress.

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

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

Even though he didn't want to admit it, he was really ready to make a move.

Role playing is a game that everyone loves.

No matter male or female.

"Isn't it a little too early at this time?"

Luke put on a show, barely maintaining a decent image.

The White Queen presses harder and harder, she likes to see Superman lose his composure.

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

The blonde beauty blinked her eyes and put her hands behind her back with an innocent expression on her face.

hiss!

It’s so quick to get into the act.

Luke sighed.

He decided to cooperate with the other party's performance.

It's not because I couldn't control myself and gave in to temptation.

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

Luke believes that his understanding of this profession remains superficial and shallow.

It is necessary to dig deeper and more thoroughly into its meaning.
