"Draft the document, Icarus."
After sending Mei home, Mei Lin was sitting in a study chair, leaning there, saying:
"Voice transcription, after I finish speaking, by the way help me polish the file."
"The translation program starts."
Icarus' voice sounded in Merlin's ears, she said:
"Are you going to draft a rule that restricts the behavior of superheroes? IMHO, Merlin, making a group of people with different backgrounds and different ideas. The guys born in ordinary people obey the same rule, which is a bit difficult. "
"difficult?"
Merlin leaned on the frame and said softly:
"No, it's not difficult at all. We can make the unruly aliens abide by the new order. We can also let the "heroes" act according to the rules, and I think this is much easier than dealing with aliens."
"Aliens who violate the order will be caught in prison or directly hunted down, but those heroes have a second option, they can withdraw... If they can't stand these rules for protecting themselves and innocent people, they Unwilling to accept the necessary constraints, they are not willing to assume the obligations that the hero must bear, then they can choose to return to the role of "protected person"."
Merlin bluntly said:
"Where can there be rule-free freedom in this world? Those who want to act arbitrarily in the name of'justice' are worse than criminals deserve to be punished. As for those who really want to do something good, but lack the ability , I am willing to give them a chance."
"It's wrong to teach without teaching, this rule will not directly deny their value, but they have to prove themselves first."
He flicked his finger and said:
"It's like a net, using rules to filter out those hypocrites who are not interested in the long-term adherence, have other weird purposes, are just for show and attracting attention, and have unsatisfactory mentality. Those who are willing to do good things within the rules are the heroes that the world really needs, or I prefer to call them "protectors"."
Merlin took out a cigarette and jogged gently on the table. He concluded:
"It's like a remake of the official hero organization "Avenger" in the folk."
"Of course, from my point of view, I think the biggest problem for the superhero group of good and bad is that they only see the side of the superhero scenery, but ignore the sacrifices and compromises to be made by such people. They need to understand that not only bad people will be hurt by them, but when they throw their fists, those innocent people will also take risks."
"This is the role of this rule and the bill. We must ensure that everyone is responsible for his actions, whether he is a rescuer, a protector, or a protected person."
Merlin lit the cigarette, and as the smoke rose, he said:
"Let's start recording, Icarus, my thoughts might diverge, but we still have time to finish it slowly."
"First of all, superheroes must register their registration information in the supernatural affairs big database, and regularly receive various official trainings and assessments, and divide the hero level or an entire system, just like our way of handling heterogeneous affairs, in order to To ensure that they have the ability to cope with different levels of criminal behavior and emergencies."
"Secondly, under any circumstances, registered superheroes should avoid revealing their true identity information. Those who want to rely on being superheroes to make themselves a star in order to attract attention and win praise are unrest factors. ...To be cleared!"
"Third, um, let me think about it... when fighting crime, they need to bring a recorder to ensure that their behavior will be monitored and recorded to ensure that these heroes will not do bad things. Behavior. Of course, the recorder will not turn on when they are not performing the task."
"Wait, Merlin."
When Merlin drafted the draft document, Icarus suddenly interrupted Merlin's complaint, and the young lady of artificial intelligence said:
"You are asking them as agents under your command...really, I don't think that superpowers born from ordinary people would be willing to accept such harsh rules."
"Then maybe they shouldn't choose to be'heroes' from the beginning!"
Merlin snorted:
"Bruce and I have talked about Batman more than once. I think Batman is a real superhero, but let's take a look at what is the difference between ordinary people and Batman?"
"Ordinary people often discuss some abstract questions: emotion and reason are more important? How is the world and ideal balanced? How is distance and life chosen? The future and the original heart are more important... Tonight to eat with the blonde girl, or with The long-legged girl came..."
Merlin said calmly:
"And Bruce? What does Bruce think about every day?"
"How to fight criminals without killing people, how to deal with Gotham's lunatics, how to rescue the hostages, how to deal with all kinds of trouble..."
"When Bruce was an ordinary person, he didn't need to care about anyone to survive, but the hero was different. Once he didn't care about anyone in Gotham, but when he returned to his hometown as a hero, he saw It’s just dazzling blood, all he sees are injured people, or people who are about to be injured."
"Icarus, you ask me, what is the difference between the heroes imagined by ordinary people and the real heroes in reality, and you see, this is the difference... ordinary people and heroes are people who live in two worlds!"
Merlin breathed out his cigarette and said:
"I sometimes find it hard to understand, what gives ordinary people the courage to think they can do the duty of a hero? Just like the two young people today, what makes them think they can deal with three heavily armed robbers What makes them dare to wander around the city with a grenades that are about to explode?"
"I'm curious what kind of material their unexplained confidence is made of?"
"Maybe you can ask him personally."
Icarus projected a projection onto the lens in front of Merlin's eyes. In the hospital ward guarded by the police, the newly awakened young black man Tyron Johnson was sitting up from the bed with difficulty, and it seemed that he was planning to use his ability , Jump into the darkness and run away.
"This man is different from the little blonde girl."
Icarus projected Tyrone Johnson's posture into Merlin's eyes. She said:
"The imprisoned blonde girl Tandie Bowen has a clean life and is a bit silly. But the young man Tyron’s past is complicated. He has a case in the Boston Police Department. The police accused him of being a murderer and the deceased. He is Tyrone’s best friend. He fled to New York and has been hiding in Hell’s Kitchen for almost 2 months.
On Merlin's lenses, several monitoring scenes are beating, including scenes of Tyrone fighting crime at night or in remote areas.
"In the past 2 months, he has prevented 13 robberies, 27 thefts, and rescued 4 girls from situations where they may have been sexually assaulted. He has worked in different restaurants to feed himself, and he has no record of theft. And never killed a person, even those criminals."
"Seriously, if not because he killed 17 people this time, this young man may be more in line with your definition of a street hero."
"Huh? Interesting..."
Merlin looked at the surveillance screen in front of him. After a while, he stood up and said:
"Then let me ask him in person."
"Om"
Between the halo of darkness, the weak Tyron Johnson stepped out of the darkness, and an energy cloak of floating darkness wrapped around his body, shaking behind him like a real cloak.
His condition was terrible. The grenade almost exploded in his arms. Although there was energy to block the damage to his body, his left arm and abdomen were still severely burned.
However, compared with the pain in the body, the more painful is the torture of the soul.
Unlike Miss Tandy, Tyrone knew exactly what he had done. Before he was comatose, he saw the scene of the grenade exploding in the crowd.
He is no longer the hero of his own imagination. The persistence of the past has become a big joke at this moment. He has become a criminal and the person he hates most, the kind of people who wantonly hurt others.
He leaned on the wall and moved forward hard. He didn't know where he was going. He just instinctively wanted to escape the shadow and pain of that soul.
"Cough"
A slight cough sounded behind him, causing the young man to move his foot forward and stop.
He looked back. A man wearing a trench coat and a cane was standing behind him quietly, but there was no one there a few seconds ago.
"Is this leaving?"
Wearing Beowulf's disguise, like Merlin with a crow's beak mask, asked:
"After killing 17 people by mistake, are you going to give up the road of "hero" that you just started?"
"I do not deserve..."
Tyrone was already ashamed. He didn't care about Merlin's sarcasm. He said:
"I don't deserve to look forward to being an imaginary hero anymore. I'm a murderer, worse than the worst criminal."
"Then why are you running away?"
Merlin said with interest:
"Isn't it better to wait for the trial to come in the hospital?"
"I'm going to find those dead and injured."
Tyrone said:
"Make up for the relatives of the dead as much as possible, and get the forgiveness of the injured...After doing all this, I will surrender myself. Whether in prison or more direct punishment, I am willing to accept it."
"Crap!"
When Merlin stepped forward, he reached out to grab Tyron's collar and looked at the young man with a wound on his face. He said mercilessly:
"You just want to run away! Don't make excuses for your cowardice! You are a murderer, Lord Tyron. In the murder case in Boston, you killed your best friend. Trying to atone for nothing can change what you have done. ."
"No, I am not!"
When Merlin talked about the homicide in Boston, Tyron, who was already ashamed, suddenly broke out, and he refusingly refuted the eccentric guy with a mask in front of him:
"It's not that I killed Billy! We witnessed a robbery at the time. We called the police, but the police mistakenly thought Billy was the murderer. I wanted to explain, but I was suffering from severe stuttering... Billy was The gun was shot, right in front of me, it was the gun shot by the police! They also tried to kill me."
"That's not what I did! I'm innocent!"
"Oh, really?"
Merlin stared at the young man. He said:
"If what you said is true, then let me see your memory. If you have a clear conscience, then you will not refuse."
"View memory?"
Tyrone looked at Merlin. In the dark night, the pale light of the raven-pointed beak mask on Merlin's face looked terrifying. He saw the sarcasm shining in the dark red eyes under the mask, which made Tyron feel humiliated.
He gritted his teeth and said to Merlin:
"Then look! At least in Billy's things, I have a clear conscience!"
"look into my eyes!"
Merlin launched the Dementor, and the next moment, Tyrone’s memory unfolded in front of his eyes, presumably because the young man did not resist at all. In short, this memory search went unexpectedly smoothly.
Merlin saw Tyron’s experience in Boston. He saw the young man’s friend being shot by the police. He saw Tyrone running away from the bullets. He saw him coming to New York. He was hiding in the kitchen. He was in hell. The things the kitchen does.
He was unassuming and low-key in combating crime. He left the scene immediately after the incident and never asked the rescued to do anything for him. Although the method of doing things was slightly immature, he never took the criminal’s life but Leave them to the belated police.
Icarus is right. Without the 17 lives, Tyrone is almost a real street hero in Merlin's heart. A monkey version of Batman who has been demoted several times.
"what!"
The pain of being searched for memory made Tyron Johnson no longer stand upright. In the kind of painful headache, he knelt on the ground halfway, holding his head and groaning painfully.
Merlin looked at the young man at his feet. He crouched down and put his finger on his shoulder. He said:
"Well, you really are not hopeless...I ask you a question, you have to answer me honestly."
"You, want to be a hero?"
"?"
Tyrone raised his head and looked in amazement in front of this strange man with a beaked crow mask. He said:
"Who the are you? Why do you ask?"
"You just need to answer me honestly, do you want to be a hero?"
Merlin says:
"I advise you to answer carefully."
"I...I think."
Tyrone knelt on the ground. He clenched his fists and propped on the ground. He lowered his head and said softly:
"But I can't, can't I? I've made mistakes, 17 innocent people, those blood, they keep reminding me that I'm just a murderer."
"Actually, I don’t think it’s a bad thing. You made a mistake. This will teach you a lesson. You won’t make the same mistake next time in the same situation. Those innocent people who died because of you It will be a wake-up call in your ears, a shackle that binds you, frees you from the soul all your life, lets you walk in thorns, and makes you understand that the rules of this world are not only restraint, but protection."
Merlin stood up, he patted the dust on his hand, he said to Tyrone:
"Maybe you can do something more meaningful and truly remedy the wrong than being sent to court. You can choose to be an atonement. You are not hopeless. In addition, your friend Billy The policeman who killed him for no reason will soon be brought to court. Your conviction will be cleared, but you still need to atone."
"You... who the are you?"
Tyrone climbed hard from the ground, he looked at Merlin, he asked.
Merlin flicked his finger, he said:
"In this world, some people are responsible for having a good life, while others are responsible for protecting them. You can understand that I am the protector."
"Everyone deserves a second chance, but few people are willing to give everything to fight for it... Tyron Johnson, young man who wants to be a hero, answer me, are you willing?"
