Chapter 1,156 The Tragedy of Idealism

Carter saw the three people chatting happily there and heard some clues.

What is my world, your world.

Is that Benjamin an alien?

But it didn't sound like him. Kai was obviously very familiar with him, but Benjamin didn't know Kai, which was a bit strange.

But Carter didn't say much to ask. Because she knew that she was not popular, at least when Tony was present. The relationship between the two became what it is today, which can be regarded as a coincidence.

Also while they were chatting, Captain America's Steve also came out with others in disgrace.

As the signature of the Shadow Bureau, Steve was very busy. He had been tracking down Hydra before, but as soon as he had a clue, he was called to the sewers by Carter, and then encountered a group of lizardmen. However, his team did not

Nothing was lost, everyone just looked a little embarrassed.

"Looks like everyone is here, let's get down to business." After watching Steve arrive with several members of the Howling Commandos, Tony immediately said with a serious face.

Kai asked strangely: "What's the matter?"

Tony did not answer, but directly took out a tube of blue potion from the mecha.

"This is a potion for those lizardmen!"

Tony pointed at Benjamin: "Thanks to Benjamin, I was able to create this special medicine in such a short period of time."

Benjamin shook his head: "No, I just gave some information about the lizard serum to Mr. Stark. I can't help with much specific matters."

"No need to be modest, Benjamin, you are a very good child." Tony actually comforted others in a very rare way.

But others were more curious about another thing.

Tony has just turned 43 this year (he was born in 1970, and the time is now 2013), and Benjamin is already in his 40s judging from the gray hair on his temples (his actual age is 47). Anyway, it looks like

Benjamin is older than Tony, but Tony calls him a child.

Isn't this strange?

But Benjamin didn't have any objection to this, which was very strange.

Carter noticed this very keenly, and this was also a good opportunity to obtain information: "You call him a child? I would like to ask, Mr. Benjamin, what is your birth date?"

Benjamin doesn’t think it’s that strange that he traveled from a parallel world. After all, there are four Spider-Mans: “I was born in Brooklyn in 1984.”

Others were dumbfounded. Was this born in 1984?

If he was really born in 1984, he would be 29 years old now!

You don't look like you are 29 years old.

Kay noticed this: "Peter was born in 1996, no wonder you are so different."

"Well, I noticed his information. The difference between us should start from my grandparents' generation. Therefore, my father was born earlier, while Peter's father was born much later." No one is not curious about the parallel world.

What they are really like, and they will be more curious about who and what causes the differences between them.

"I see."

Carter got a lot of information, but not only did this information not clear up her doubts, it actually became more confusing. What is this mess?

Kai didn't dwell on this, but pointed to the tube of reagent and said, "Is this an antidote?"

"No, on the contrary. It's poison!" Benjamin said without any abnormality.

"Poison?" Kai asked in surprise.

"Yes, I have seen the newly created lizard men created by Professor Connors. They have lost the chance to change back. He...completely transformed those people and turned them into monsters." Tony grabbed Benjamin.

shoulder, said first.

"This kind of drug can destroy the mutation factors in the lizard people's bodies in a very short period of time, destroying their genes immediately, thereby achieving the maximum degree of damage!"

Steve raised his hand at this time and asked: "You mean to let us kill all those lizard people? They are..."

"I know! I know! They are innocent, but now they may run out of the sewers at any time and harm more innocent people. And Professor Connors...or Professor Lizard is a lunatic. He must be creating something that can spread on a large scale.

Lizard Serum, do you plan to wait until everyone in New York turns into this green monster before you solve the problem? Sometimes, we have to make a choice!"

Tony was uncharacteristically speaking some extremely cruel remarks.

Although Tony is not a white leftist, there is no doubt that people of his generation have generally accepted those remarks, so his camp is also very left-leaning, but not to the level of the Holy Mother. This is not like it at all.

What Tony can say, but Kai's words are more acceptable, because that's the kind of person he is.

Kai also glanced at Tony in surprise.

After all, this guy is the one who shut down the weapons manufacturing department in anger because he knew that the weapons he made were used by terrorists.

Although others only thought that this was one of Tony's many willful behaviors, Kai knew that this guy really felt that he had hurt other people, so he made such a decision. This guy would even feel uneasy because he could not save other people.

Blame yourself.

It can be said that he seems to have an unruly heart, but in fact he is extremely sensitive and fragile inside.

That is to say, Kai often instilled some "selfish" views into him, which prevented him from suffering from any mental illness.

But today he actually said such words.

This isn't like him.

But soon Kai saw the clues.

When Tony said this, it was more like comforting him.

Comfort Benjamin!

If there's anyone in the world who understands Tobey Maguire's version of Spider-Man better than Kay, it's Kay.

This is also a super virgin!

kill?

He was sad for a long time after killing the Green Goblin!

Not to mention those innocent homeless people who were turned into lizard-men.

"This was my idea!" Benjamin raised his hand.

Kai looked at him: "This doesn't seem like something you would do, Toby."

Benjamin knew that Kai was calling him, just like he called himself Tobey Maguire when they met. To be honest, Benjamin had an inexplicable fondness for such a call. Maybe there really was a person exactly like him in this world.

Not sure.

Benjamin smiled and then said: "You know me very well. But it seems you don't know me well enough."

Kai was stunned.

"If you really knew what I went through, you would know why I made the choice I did."

These words choked Kai. To be honest, Kai's understanding of Benjamin was indeed limited to those three movies. If it were just movies, it would be enough, but Benjamin is a living person, and his life cannot be three movies.

Human life is very long!

"Indeed, I only know some fragments." Compared with life, movies are indeed just fragments.

"Professor Connors, also known as Professor Lizard, did the same thing in my world. I could have stopped it. Really, I had a chance. But I hesitated. I always thought there was a better way.

, as a result, things got out of control, and countless people were turned into lizard-men, which led to the death of countless people!"

He took a deep breath: "I am no longer young, and I can't let the same mistakes happen in front of me anymore!"

Kai remembered a piece of news he had seen in his last life, which was that preparations for the fourth Spider-Man part had actually begun, and it was said to be related to Professor Lizard. But in the end, nothing happened. Kai didn't pay much attention to this kind of entertainment news at that time, and was just a musician.

Oh, just look at it and it’s gone.

It seems that Benjamin's world line is still developing in this direction.

"I didn't see those three little guys. It seems they were taken away by you. It must have been your idea, right?" Kai looked at Benjamin.

Thinking about it, this is indeed the case. Benjamin is now in his forties, how can he still think about things like a teenager? People will grow.

No matter where you are, the older you get, the more conservative your views will become. This is not a bad thing, because the elderly have accumulated enough life experiences, both good and bad, which will teach them one thing, that is, society is always reality.

Yes, only those old people know what the so-called dream will turn into in the end.

Because they either fulfilled their dreams or abandoned their dreams.

"Although I choose this way, I still hope that they can continue to do that. People... have to retain some innocence."

A group of people look at me and I look at you, but they are still confused.

Steve couldn't help it anymore: "Are we talking about the lizard people?"

Others looked over.

"I still stick to my point of view. We may have a better way! Those people are innocent!"

Tony, Kay and Benjamin all looked shocked.

Then the three of them laughed.

"Tell me, Steve. What are you here for?"

Kai finally spoke.

Tony won't explain to Steve, and even if he does, it will turn into an argument. It's pointless.

Benjamin wouldn't say anything because he wasn't familiar with it.

Before Steve could speak, Kai spoke directly to himself: "To protect the lives and property of the people of New York, right?"

Such words made Steve's eyes light up, because Americans would never say such things.

For Americans, the responsibility of law enforcement agencies has never been to protect the so-called people, their responsibility is to fight crime!

These two statements may seem similar, but in fact they are fundamentally different.

Supporting this statement is a very famous case. The 1975 Washington, D.C., Warren case!

In 1975, Caroline Warren and her friend Joan discovered that two strong men had broken into the room of single mother Miriam Douglas downstairs. Warren and her roommate immediately called the police.

The police came several times and left without entering the apartment, so Warren called the police again. This time the police said that the police were almost there, so Warren and her roommate ran downstairs to try to stop the gangster from assaulting Ms. Douglas.

As a result, Warren and his roommates were also kidnapped by these two strong men, and they were raped for 14 hours before the three ladies escaped. No police came to check. By chance, the three victims escaped.

In the end, the police arrested the two gangsters; although the gangsters were arrested, Warren still could not swallow the feeling that the police had seriously neglected their duties, so he sued the police department.

Unexpectedly, in 1981, the Federal Court finally ruled that the police's duty to the public was a general term, and the police did not have specific legal obligations to a specific citizen, so it would not accept Warren's case against the police department.

This almost means that the police have no obligation to protect citizens!

There is also a very famous case, the 2005 Colorado Gonzales case.

After Ms. Gonzalez and her husband Simon divorced in 2005, in order to avoid harassment by her ex-husband, she applied for a restraining order. The restraining order required Simon to stay 100 meters away from Ms. Gonzalez and her children. As a result, one day Simon kidnapped Gonzalez.

Ms. Reis’s three children and Gonzalez called the police three times, but the police did nothing. Finally, Gonzalez had to go to the police station to report on his own. As a result, Simon drove away to chase Ms. Gonzalez and killed her before the police.

There was a fierce exchange of fire with the police at the entrance of the station, and he was eventually shot dead; but the police found the bodies of three children in the back seat of Simon's car, and Simon killed the three children before chasing Ms. Gonzalez.

Of course Gonzalez sued the police department for its inaction. Unexpectedly, in 2005, the Supreme Federal Court ruled that the police department was not responsible on the grounds that the restraining order was a legal order. If someone violated a legal order, he would be punished by law; but the sanction was

The reason is the gangster's violation of the law rather than personal injury.

The U.S. Supreme Court once again reiterated that the police have no obligation to stop the law when the law is broken, but they have the obligation to bring the violators to justice after the law is broken. What the U.S. Supreme Court means is that the gangster wants to kill the victim with a knife, and the police

There is no obligation to protect the victim, but after the victim is killed, the police have an obligation to arrest the criminal.

(After reading the information and seeing this, the author suddenly understood why Americans don’t like the police... Is this thing of any use? !! It’s better to buy a gun yourself. From this, it is not difficult to understand why the United States supports gun owners.

So many, if the police can’t protect me, why can’t I protect myself?)

Chinese people may see this and think it's nonsense.

But this is indeed in line with the spirit of the U.S. Constitution!

Therefore, the spirit that the Chinese police have always practiced seems incredible to Americans.

But I have to say that these words are in line with people’s expectations for justice!

"That's right!" Steve liked this very much, and he had done this all his life. Unfortunately, society didn't seem to take this for granted.

"Well, now it is those lizardmen who threaten the lives and property of New Yorkers! And if they are not cleaned up in time, there will be more and more of them! More and more harm will be suffered! Are you planning to wait until things get out of hand?

Do you think about solving the problem anymore, or do you solve it when things are under control?!"

Kai, this is sophistry. After all, according to this statement, those innocent people who turned into lizardmen are also included in their protection.

But the problem is that this is reality!

How can there be perfection in the world?

The true meaning of choice often lies in choosing the lesser of two powers that harm each other, and choosing the greater of two benefits that harm each other!

"But……"

Benjamin finally couldn't help it anymore: "We don't have time...well, Kapton (captain). I know Connors, you have been attacked by the lizard people, which means Connors already knows that he has been discovered!"

He will not sit still and wait for death! As long as you give him time, he will create more lizardmen! By then, more innocent people will be harmed!"

The older Spider-Man finally began to bow to reality. This is undoubtedly the tragedy of idealism!

Kai actually feels quite complicated.

Kai has always flaunted himself as a person of consequential justice, but he has never said that he will not look forward to procedural justice. In fact, he likes people who have ideals. Human beings need idealists, although the lives of these people are often tragedies.
