Chapter 317 Fanwai, please act like an adult!
"I've never accomplished anything." Reed stared at the ceiling obsessively, "Although...although I'm grateful that you can be here with me, but you won't understand me."
"I really didn't understand it before, but now, I think I understand it quite well." Colt said drowsily. He rarely drank alcoholic beverages in the past, but now he suddenly drank so much, he was very uncomfortable.
"No, you definitely don't understand." Reed was obviously a little drunk, "You don't understand, I have hurt a lot of people, everyone I care about has been hurt by me.
"When I was in high school, I boarded at Sue's house, and I liked her from the first time I saw her. But, but I ran away, I moved away, and I didn't dare to meet her because I was worried it would distract me. I know she still wants me to act, even now, but all I do is let her down again and again.
"Dum, oh, you don't know him yet, I always thought we were friends, and in the end, I couldn't stop him, I couldn't stop him before his experiment went wrong, and then, he left, and I never met him.
"Now it's Ben, and I made him, turned him into something like that... He warned me and I didn't listen...
"I always feel like I'm right, but the truth is, I'm wrong every time, I'm just a piece of shit that doesn't do anything."
Reed smiled and threw the bottle out of his hand.
"In fact, I have done more stupid things than you." Colt also smiled, "I used to think I could control everything, and then I killed people.
"Later, I felt like I was growing up and I wanted to try to take some responsibility and do some good things, and it turned out...
"It turned out that I didn't cross the line, I didn't act out of line, I kept a backup plan, I carefully cooperated with others, and I tried to avoid any choices that might lead to bad consequences. As a result...
"In the end, I still haven't saved the person I wanted to save..."
"Oh, sorry..." Reed was silent, "Sorry for making you think of this..."
"It's okay, even if you don't mention it, I can't make myself forget it."
Colt picked up the bottle and found it was empty.
"one more bottle?"
Looking at Reed who was drinking, Colt suddenly laughed: "You know what? I never knew you would be like this."
"How?" Reid tilted his head, not understanding.
"Decadence, confusion, self-doubt." Colt smiled. "In my impression, you have always been confident and wise. You can see through everything at a glance, and you can know the subtleties."
"Sounds good, but I assure you, no matter where you know this, it's fucking fake." Reed leaned against the wall, "However, are you sure someone will really use so many good words to judge me ?”
"It's not all, it's just a good side, nothing else, don't care what other people think, obsessed with experiments, treat everyone as fools, have no interest in life..." Colt thought for a while and added.
"Ah, this is me." Reed raised the bottle, "Actually, they can say it more accurately, a conceited bastard."
"Ha, that's the word they usually use for Tony Stark." Colt smiled. "You're a mad scientist."
"Almost." Reed nodded. "Anyway, I'm definitely not someone worthy of respect and admiration. They should avoid living like me as much as possible."
"I think that's true for me," Colter agreed. "I've had a terrible life."
"This is outrageous!" Susan rushed into the bar, and she used a force field to lift up the two men who had fallen to the ground. "What are you doing now, is sitting here drinking and talking to each other about your failures in life?"
No one answered her.
"I've had enough, first Johnny, then you two, we're going to get Ben back instead of sitting here feeling sorry for yourself, you should be living like adults instead of me taking care of kids action!"
After finishing speaking, she directly took the two of them out of the bar.
……
Ben hides in an abandoned building.
There were quite a few homeless people here, but Ben kept as much distance as possible from them.
His body has turned into a solid rock, which now seems to have brought him at least a little advantage, that is, even on a cold night in New York, the temperature will not cause him any trouble, he can Hide in those vents where even homeless people don't want to gather and stay alone quietly.
Covering his face with a wide hat he found in a junkyard, he leaned against a corner with his knees folded.
He misses his bed at home, he wants to play football like he used to, he wants to eat pizza and donuts, he wants to continue cracking jokes with friends and family, but that may never happen again.
He is a monster, a monster spurned by everyone.
"rustle."
It seemed to be the sound of the wind blowing through the street trees.
"rustle."
No, it's not the wind.
Ben looked up, and he saw, in the shadow of the garbage dump not far away, someone seemed to be waving to him.
He hastily lowered the brim of his hat, he didn't want to cause others to scream, which would prevent him from getting even the last piece of foothold.
However, that figure still stood there relentlessly, making a sound to attract his attention.
Ben glanced at the homeless people who had fallen asleep around the lit newspapers and clutter, and finally got up to see what it was.
He walked up to the somewhat short man.
The opponent fled.
He sneered disdainfully, but he was just like everyone else, and he was scared away when he saw him.
However, the short man stopped after taking a few steps.
He held out his hand, as if signaling for Ben to follow him.
Ben frowned.
The other party has been hiding in the shadows, he can't see the other party's appearance clearly, but he has nothing to hide, at this distance, the other party must have seen his own weirdness clearly.
Even so, are you not afraid but want to lead yourself somewhere?
An inexplicable hope surged into his heart.
Ben glanced around, then quickened his pace to keep up with the little man.
Following each other, they got farther and farther away from the downtown area, until they reached an old half-destroyed house that even homeless people would not want to come to.
The man got into the house and disappeared.
Ben frowned and followed in warily.
He reached out and easily moved some of the collapsed ruins.
His overly tall body made it very inconvenient for him in this somewhat narrow ruin.
Finally, when he went deep into the ruins, a deep pit appeared in front of him.
