During Those Years When I Was A Marvel Superhero Chapter 10: Complexity of human nature
In the cafe, discussions on mutant's continue. Liwen.com
"Yes, that group of mutants is a group of dogs." A man wearing a black winter coat and a baseball cap said fiercely. "The last time I drove by a restaurant, I ran into a small mutant's debris. He was actually a waiter there."
"I didn't tip him, why should I tip a mutant." The man's language was rude. "Then I finished my meal, and the tire was leaking when I went out."
"It's needless to say that the **** little **** did it." The man's inference was baseless, just because the other person was a mutant.
So he blamed others for the leak of his tires. This unreasonable and overbearing approach is unacceptable.
The man spoke abusively, and there were a few companions at his side, it seemed they were all companions.
From the perspective of speech and movement habits, they are very similar to a group of truck drivers. Originally I just went to the coffee shop to drink a cup of hot coffee to kill time.
But because of this news, it seems that this man's anger has been picked up. "Do you know, I hated mutants when I was a kid."
"At that time, there was a small mutant in school, he used his ability to cheat every time, I know he can't be so smart, he must be cheating." This is already naked jealous.
"Okay, it's almost time for us to start working." One of his companions signaled this guy to stop talking, it was time to start preparing.
"Okay, how much is it." It looks like the group is ready to leave after checkout, and the men in baseball caps are ready to pay.
However, the waitress seemed a bit dazed and did not immediately collect the money to settle the bill.
"I said how much does this cost?" The man in the baseball cap waited a little impatiently. He reached out and wanted to pat the waitress' shoulder, but his hand went straight through the other person's body.
"Damn it! What the **** are you doing!" The man in the baseball cap stepped back suddenly, and he growled angrily. He touched the hand he had just passed through the waitress, as if afraid of being infected by something.
"What did you do to my body? You are a **** mutant!" The voice of the baseball cap man was a little frightened.
"No, I'm sorry, I, I didn't do anything." The waitress didn't look very old, it was estimated to be a high school student, and it looked like she was working part-time.
"You are a mutant." The man in the baseball cap shouted again. He picked up a common bar stool and pointed at the girl.
"Tell you, do n’t play tricks on me. I see you guys a lot." Although the man said this, he did n’t dare to step forward. He seemed afraid.
"I'm sorry." The girl has begun to cry, her tears in her big beautiful eyes. "Really sorry, I didn't do anything."
"Enough is enough!" Li Jie's mood has fallen to the bottom of the valley. This is all bad news. Do these guys who advocate mutants are threats know how much contradiction they are instigating?
In addition to causing trouble to this society, they can't do anything right!
Li Jie ca n’t stand these guys anymore. This girl is just a regular part-time student. She is terrified.
It ’s normal for mutants to be self-protected when they are frightened, and the girl ’s ability to look is not destructive.
But because of the advocacy and propaganda on TV news, such mutants who can be integrated into the lives of normal people have become unsightly.
Li Jie stood directly in front of the girl with the 20-kilogram-thick cowleg he had just bought, and pulled the man's leg directly at the girl ’s round stool.
Because a man wants to attack a girl, the girl is about to cry.
"She's just an ordinary girl, and I haven't seen her doing anything bad to you." Li Jie's strength is so great that the man was nearly fell by his legs with a slap.
"He is a mutant!" The man continued to emphasize this point. It seems that this is the most terrible original sin.
"But now she is just a child terrified by you." Li Jie said seriously in front of the man. "Don't be misled by those simple guys, please use your brains."
Li Jie pointed to Macquarie, who is still talking on TV. Such people ’s actions are meaningless and only increase negative energy.
Looking at Li Jie's aggressive look, several other companions of the man are persuading him to forget. In the end he struggled a bit, and finally left twenty dollars to pay for several people's coffee money, and left without looking for change.
"Are you all right?" Li Jie asked the girl, she was really terrified.
"It's okay, thank you. I just, I was just a little scared." The girl calmed down her mood just now, thanking Li Jie.
"Caddy, come here." As the girl thanked Li Jie, the man who looked like the shopkeeper greeted the waitress named Katie.
It seems to be talking about something, and Katie seems to beg for something, but the shopkeeper shook his head. Finally, Katie had no choice but to take off an apron representing the store attendant.
"What's wrong?" Li Jie frowned and asked Katie who was approaching him.
"Nothing, just lost a job." Katie smiled, but looked helpless. Then nodded at Li Jie and walked out of the cafe.
Li Jie ’s fears are born. As a mutant who is quite normal and whose ability is not mainly destruction, he will lose his job. What about those other mutants?
Li Jie remembers that when watching movies, some mutant's features are very obvious. People only need to pay attention to observe the mutant's features.
Will these people be more oppressed? Then burst out under intense pressure? Know that this is not impossible.
That sentence: Where there is oppression, there is resistance. It's not an empty talk.
Li Jie checked out and walked out of the cafe, seeing the waitress Katie squatting on the side of the road, sobbing gently, holding her head in both hands, but her shoulders were shaking, which was a performance of sobbing .
"If you don't mind, I can take you home and my car stops at the intersection." Li Jie squatted down and said to Katie.
Katie ’s house also lives in Queens, but it does n’t seem to be his own house, but rented in an apartment building.
Li Jie drove Cathy back to his home in fifteen minutes in his only used Ford sedan.
"Thank you today, otherwise the man might hurt me." Katie thanked Li Jiedao again before getting off the bus.
"You're welcome, because you didn't do anything wrong, but he scared you." Li Jie shook his head and answered.
Katie smiled a little bit better than the bitter smile before. She pulled out a small book and a pen from her pocket. She tore off a page and wrote her phone number on it.
"This is my phone, I mean, if you are willing to make friends with a mutant ..."
Li Jie didn't ask Katie to finish talking, so she took the paper in her hand. "Of course, believe me, many of my friends are weirder than you."
Well, Li Jie is telling the truth.
"Thank you." Katie smiled, got out of the car, waved at Li Jie and ran upstairs.
Li Jie drove slowly away from here, and he had to rush back to cook lunch for the people in the base.
The radio on the radio is also broadcasting these news that he does n’t want to hear. Li Jie simply shut down the radio and drove quietly.
He does n’t know if Katie ’s situation is accidental today, or if all variants will encounter it.
Li Jie ca n’t guarantee that all people can treat the mutants as equally as he does, such as the men in baseball caps I met today.
He has another attitude towards mutants, and it is very complicated. It contains discrimination, fear and envy.
Although he clamored to teach Katie, he never dared to do it. This is what he was afraid of. And he talked about the mutants he met in his childhood, because other people's abilities or excellence made him feel envious and jealous.
Is this complex and mixed emotion owned by most people? Li Jie's Ford Motors is very slow.
Because the traffic in New York is very heavy ~ IndoMTL.com ~ is just like the various problems hidden under this society. All problems are blocking.
There is no one, or there is no good way to solve these problems, and the problem of not being vented is like this rolling traffic.
Be forced to congest on the road and slow down the whole society.
Katie is very happy today. Although she lost a part-time job, she gained a friend who knew her identity and did not discriminate against her.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back." She opened the door of her house happily, unlike the mother who would give her a hug when she returned home.
Today ’s parents all sat quietly on the sand, and when she heard the news of her return, she turned her head and looked at her.
On the opposite side of the parents, there are two strangers. An old man in a wheelchair, and a beautiful young woman with red head.
"Hello, I think you must be Katie, would you like to talk to you?" The old man in the wheelchair smiled very kindly. (To be continued.)
