Ultimate Iron Man followed Schiller back to his room on the spaceship. As a special guest, he had an entire suite and a huge viewing window unique to this observation spaceship.
The reason why the summit was chosen to be held here is because the Ring Nebula is visible to the naked eye. It is a very beautiful and nearly perfect circular nebula, and it is also a very rare sight in the vast universe.
Through the huge fusiform floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see a brilliant nebula shining brilliantly in the darkness, composed of countless stars and colorful air currents, forming an extremely majestic landscape.
When Schiller entered the room for the first time, he was also shocked by the amazing beauty. The nebula exuded various colors, red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple, with suitable shades, entangled, mysterious and mysterious.
Brilliant.
Schiller stood in front of the window and stared at the nebula, seemingly immersed in some kind of tranquil depth. The Ultimate Iron Man did not speak, but just picked up the ornaments on the coffee table and played with them.
After a while, Schiller came back to his senses. He seemed to feel a little embarrassed and uncomfortable, so he turned and walked to the other side of the room, but the Ultimate Iron Man took the initiative and said: "This is really beautiful.
Isn't it? What do you see in this scenery?"
Schiller paused, but shook his head slightly and said, "This is not the first time I've seen it. How can I understand it?"
"Beauty does not weaken its charm just because of the number of times it is noticed." The ultimate iron man's tone finally lost the comfortable smile, but looked very serious. He said: "It must have left a very deep impression on you.
Such an impression will remind you of every sentiment you have had every time you look at it like this.”
Ultimate Iron Man walked to the single sofa next to the picture window and sat down. He pointed at the chair opposite, and then said: "I am also a guest from afar, don't you want to chat with me?"
"You shouldn't have come here." Schiller turned to look at Ultimate Iron Man and said, "You should go back to your universe and do what you should do."
"There's nothing I should do, just like there's nothing you have to deal with now against your own will." The Ultimate Iron Man rested his elbow on the armrest on one side, leaned his body in this direction, and looked at the mat
"I can see that it would be very difficult for you to withdraw from this beauty and shock, and you can't always make hard decisions," Le said.
"You just called people who can't make tough decisions idiots, saying they deserve to be harvested," Schiller mocked.
"You've reversed the causal relationship, I think." Ultimate Iron Man shook his head and said, "Because they are idiots, they can't make the decision to give up their enjoyment. Since you keep making this kind of decision, it means you are better than them."
Have stronger willpower.”
Sure enough, the Ultimate Iron Man saw Schiller holding one arm tightly against his body and putting the other arm under his nose and touching it. This was a sign of embarrassment and discomfort.
"Sit down, doctor, or we can just sit here in silence and watch this eternally rotating nebula project its own existence into infinite time with its disdain for anything that claims to be grand. This is the world.
The existence of some people is a denigration of others.”
Ultimate Iron Man could clearly see that Schiller's fingers trembled slightly when he heard the last sentence.
Schiller came over and sat down, and the two sat across from each other on one side of the huge picture window.
There were no lights on in the room, and it was pitch black. Only the dim light cast by the nebula outside the window illuminated the silhouettes of the two people. They were much smaller than the most ethereal star dust in the huge nebula, but the shadows were very long.
Like sand and gravel under the moonlight.
"How long has it been since you gave someone psychotherapy?"
"I just..." yesterday
"You know that's not the case." Ultimate Iron Man shook his head and said, "Aliens are not our kind."
"But they also have emotions, and they are... no different from us."
"Is this how you convince yourself?" Ultimate Iron Man straightened his body, then crossed his hands on his legs and said: "From a certain point on, you feel that you have lost the ability to resolve negative emotions for others, until
At some point, you realize that you are slowly losing the ability to sense other people's emotions."
"But this is not a necessary ability to be a psychiatrist." Schiller denied it. He said: "Empathy and empathy are important, but this is not how this job works. It is not that we empathize with the patient and then
To comfort them, we also rely on knowledge and theory and rich experience, or we mainly rely on this."
"But the gradual disappearance and defeat still make you feel pain. You understand that something has flowed away, but there is nothing you can do about it."
"It's just that I haven't been able to focus on this aspect recently." Schiller snorted and said, "For someone like you, you won't feel worried about the destruction of the universe at all."
"Do you think your talent is a disaster?"
"Why do you ask?"
"Let me guess." Ultimate Iron Man stretched out a hand and spread his fingers, and then said: "To a certain extent, you can predict the future, or at least have premonitions beyond ordinary people's perspective, not just for the immediate crisis.
, and can also see the disasters that will come in the future.”
"But it's more of a curse than a talent. Ignorance is the greatest blessing that humans can have. If you don't know, you don't have to be responsible for it. But if you know, you always feel that you are not to blame."
"If that's the case, I should be a hero."
"Of course you can't." Ultimate Iron Man shook his head and said, "You don't want to turn this into your own responsibility at all. If you are not a hero, you have room to escape. You don't have to try your best. You can convince yourself when you are unable to turn the tide.
, so that you don’t have to feel guilty.”
"You are very talented as a psychiatrist."
"But you said it doesn't depend on talent."
Schiller looked at Ultra Iron Man in silence, and Ultra Iron Man said: "When you came to see me, you chose not to show up, but this is understandable. After all, we are not familiar with each other, and you don't want to think about everything."
The truth tells me that the less contact with nature the better, it will prevent me from getting to the bottom of it.”
"But what surprises me the most is that you are now hanging out with a group of aliens, instead of actively preparing for war with your heroic friends on Earth to fight against the coming disaster."
Stark moved his elbows further forward, leaned forward, stared into Schiller's eyes and asked, "Tell me, why not?"
Schiller turned to look at the nebula outside the window.
"I should have thought of it earlier." The Ultimate Iron Man said: "A true friend will not mind going through fire and water for you. You should also know this. If you talk to everyone about everything, then the situation should be like me.
It's the same thing, you all work together, not you alone, answer me, Dr. Schiller, have you never told anyone what you saw?"
"This makes no sense." Schiller turned his head back to look at Ultimate Iron Man and said: "If someone came over to you one day and told you that the world is going to be destroyed and we need to prepare early, would you believe it?"
"If I didn't believe it, would I still be here?"
"But what if nothing happens after that?"
Ultimate Iron Man frowned slightly and said, "Isn't your prediction completely accurate?"
"There is no completely accurate prediction in this world. Only the content of the prediction can be changed, and early warning is meaningful. Otherwise, I will not say anything."
The Ultimate Iron Man thought for a moment and understood what Schiller meant. Schiller told the others the content of the prophecy. They made preparations in advance and avoided the predicted disaster. This means that the prophecy is not completely accurate, but if
They predicted in advance, made preparations, and used various methods but still failed to change the outcome of the prediction. Then Schiller had no need to tell others the outcome of the prediction, because it was bound to happen, and no matter how hard he tried, it was useless.
Since Schiller means what he said, it means that the disaster predicted can be avoided.
But that's not the point. The point is that Ultimate Iron Man has determined that Schiller really knows what will happen in the future. This is an extremely amazing talent.
"Of course I know that as long as a similar situation happens, it will greatly hurt the feelings of you and the people close to you. This is a dilemma." Ultimate Iron Man said, and then he asked: "When you tell me
Before, did you ever think that I would believe it?"
Schiller finally showed the most complicated expression today, and then shook his head.
The Ultimate Iron Man laughed lowly. He looked at Schiller with smiling eyes and said: "How ironic. Your heroic friends no longer believe you and think you are just an alarmist, and you want to take advantage of him."
The evil criminal believed your words without hesitation and made efforts to do so."
"Then why do you believe it?" Schiller asked.
"Because I'm smart enough."
"But Iron Man..."
"No, I don't mean IQ." Ultimate Iron Man shook his head and said: "I know what I used to be like. Iron Man understands almost everything in this universe, but he doesn't understand human hearts.
This is the privilege of madmen."
The eyes of this crazy Iron Man showed warm pink and cold blue polarization in the weak light emitted by the nebula, shining like a pearl in a dark room.
"When you start to think about things other than those formulas and theorems, you will naturally come to a conclusion that makes you crazy, and then you suddenly understand something that the hero Iron Man can never understand, and that is human feelings."
"I used to be like a huge signal receiver. I felt people's complex emotions and responded with the same turbulent emotions. When I learned to stand aside, I would naturally be able to see more things than others."
"What do you see in me?"
"A kind of despair."
Ultimate Iron Man saw something in Schiller's eyes collapse instantly, shattered like a fragile mirror, and then the light from the nebula outside the window came in, but failed to shine into the bottomless abyss.
"Knowing but being unable to do anything is the most desperate thing in the world." Schiller said: "That's why I said you shouldn't be here. You clearly believed it and had the ability to change it, but you chose to give up, and the result was still not good.
It will change.”
"I also said that the driving force for me to save the universe is no longer kindness." The eyes of Ultimate Iron Man were shining with moisture, as if he had returned to the time when he was still a hero, so sensitive and touching.
.
"Then what could it be?" Schiller asked.
The Ultimate Iron Man heard the rustle of prey treading lightly on the snow beside the trap, but he could also hear the sound of vigilant sniffing and blowing away the fallen snow, so he lowered his eyes and said.
"To be honest, I think I should give you a strong response. You found me among the countless Iron Man in the universe, because I have the talent of Iron Man, but I have no bottom line."
"I can indeed do more than Iron Man, but that doesn't mean I have to do it for the sake of the universe. If I will pay more than your heroic friend Iron Man, it will only be because I feel that I
I can also see among you in the thousands of universes that your talents and bottom line match mine - can I?"
Schiller looked at him in disbelief and asked, "Why?"
"Why what?"
"why me?"
"It won't be because you have never been chosen."
Schiller closed his eyes hard.
Ultimate Iron Man said in his heart: "I took the bait."
