"Drafting documents, Icarus."
After sending May home, Merlin sat down in a chair in his study, where he leaned back, and said, "Transcription, and after I'm done, help me polish the file by the way." ”"The translation process starts."
Icarus's voice rang in Merlin's ears as she said, "Are you going to draft a rule that restricts superhero behavior?"
With all due respect, Merlin, it's a bit difficult to force a group of guys from different backgrounds, different philosophies, born into ordinary people, to follow the same rules. ”"Difficult?"
Merlin held the frame and whispered, "No, it's not difficult at all, we can make the unruly aliens obey the new order, we can also make the 'heroes' play by the rules, and I think it's much easier than dealing with the aliens." ”"Aliens who violate the order will be caught in jail or die in pursuit, but those heroes have a second choice, they can quit...
If they can't stand the rules that protect themselves and the innocent, they don't want to accept the necessary constraints, they don't want to take on the obligations that heroes have to bear, then they can choose to go back to the role of the 'protected'. ”Merlin said bluntly: "Where in the world is there freedom without rules?
Those who want to act recklessly in the name of 'justice' are worse than criminals and deserve punishment.As for those who really want to do something good, but don't have the ability to do it, I'm willing to give them a chance. ”"It's not right to punish without teaching, this rule doesn't directly negate their value, but they have to prove themselves first."
He flicked his fingers and said: "It's like a net, using the rules to filter out those hypocrites who are interested, can't stick to it for a long time, have other weird purposes, just for show and attract attention, and those who are not qualified, and finally those who are left, who are willing to do good things within the rules, are the heroes that this world really needs, or I prefer to call them 'protectors'." ”Merlin took out a cigarette and tapped it lightly on the table, concluding: "It's like a civilian reproduction of the official hero organization 'The Avengers'." ”"Of course, from my point of view, I think the biggest problem for the mixed superhero community is that they only see the bright side of superheroes, but ignore the sacrifices and compromises that have to be made to be this kind of person, and they need to understand that not only the bad guys will be hurt by them, but also the innocent people who will take risks when they throw their fists.""
That's what this rule and the law do, and we have to make sure that everyone is held accountable for their actions, whether he's the savior, the protector, or the protected."
Merlin lit his cigarette, and as the smoke rose, he said, "Let's start recording, Icarus, my mind may be a little divergent, but we still have time to finish it slowly." ”"First of all, superheroes must register information in the big database of supernatural affairs, and regularly receive various training and assessments from the government, and divide the hero level or a whole system, just like the way we deal with different affairs, so as to ensure that they have enough ability to deal with different levels of crime and emergencies.""
Secondly, in any case, registered superheroes should avoid revealing their real identity information.Those who want to make themselves stars by being superheroes in order to attract attention and win admiration are the unstable factor...
To clear out!
”"The third, well, let me think...
When fighting crime, they need to carry recorders to ensure that their actions are monitored and recorded, to ensure that these heroes do not make bad moves.Of course, when they are not on duty, the recorder will not turn on. ”"Wait, Merlin."
As Merlin was drafting the document, Icarus abruptly interrupted Merlin's words, and the AI lady said, "You're asking for them as if they were your agents...
Seriously, I don't think superpowers born from ordinary people would be willing to accept such harsh rules. ”"Then maybe they shouldn't have chosen to be 'heroes' in the first place!"
Merlin snorted: "I've talked to Bruce more than once about Batman, I think Batman is a real superhero, but let's take a look, what's the difference between an ordinary person and Batman, right?"
”"Ordinary people often discuss abstract questions: which is more important, emotion or reason?
How do you balance the present world with the ideal?
How to choose between distance and life?
The future and the original intention are more important...
Is it going to be dinner with that blonde chick tonight, or is it going to be with that long-legged girl..."
Merlin said in a calm tone, "And what about Bruce?"
What does Bruce think about every day?
”"How to fight criminals without killing people, how to deal with the madmen of Gotham, how to rescue hostages, how to deal with all kinds of troubles...""
When Bruce is a normal person, he doesn't need to care about anyone to live, but heroes are different.At one time he didn't care about anyone in Gotham, but when he returned home as a hero, all he saw was glare blood, and all he saw was the wounded, or about to be hurt. ”"Icarus, you ask me what is the difference between the imaginary heroes of ordinary people and the real heroes in reality, you see, this is the difference...
Ordinary people and heroes are people who live in two worlds!
”Merlin spat out a puff of smoke and said, "I sometimes really can't understand what gives ordinary people the courage to think that they are up to the duty of a hero?
Like those two young men today, what made them think they could deal with three heavily armed robbers?
What made them dare to wander around the city with a grenade that was about to explode?
”"I'm curious what kind of confidence they have come from?""
Maybe you can ask him personally."
Icarus projected a projection onto the lens in front of Merlin's eyes, in a hospital ward guarded by the police, Tyrone, a young black man who had just woken up.
Johnson was struggling to sit up from his hospital bed, and seemed to be planning to use his abilities to escape by jumping into the darkness."
This man is not the same as the little blonde girl."
Icarus will Tyrone.
Johnson's gesture was projected in front of Merlin's eyes, and she said, "The blonde girl who was taken in, Tandy.
Bowen has an innocent background, and he is a little silly and sweet.But this young man Tyrone's past is complicated, he has a criminal record in the Boston Police Department, the police accuse him of a homigre, and the deceased is Tyrone's best friend, he absconded to New York, and has been hiding in Hell's Kitchen for almost 2 months. ”On Merlin's lenses, several surveillance footage beats, all of which are scenes of Tyrone fighting crime at night or in the middle of nowhere.In the past two months, he has prevented 13 robberies, 27 thefts and rescued four girls from situations where they may have been sexually assaulted.He worked in different restaurants to support himself, had no record of stealing, and never killed a single person, not even criminals. ”"Seriously, if it weren't for the fact that he killed 17 people this time, this young man might be more in line with your definition of a street hero.""
Huh?
Interesting..."
Merlin looked at the surveillance screen in front of him, and after a moment, he stood up and said, "Then, let me ask him myself." ”———————————— "buzzed" between the halos of darkness and the weak Tyrone.
Johnson staggered out of the darkness, a cloak of floating darkness wrapped around his body, swaying behind him like a real cloak.He was in a terrible condition, the grenade almost exploded in his arms, and although there was energy to block the damage to his body, his left arm and abdomen were still badly burned.However, more painful than the physical pain is the mental torture.Unlike Miss Tandy, Tyrone knew exactly what he was doing, and before he fell unconscious, he saw the grenade explode in the crowd.He is no longer the hero he imagined, the persistence of the past has become a big joke in this moment, he has become a criminal, he has become the kind of person he hates the most, the kind of person who wantonly hurts others.He leaned against the wall, struggling to move forward, he didn't know where he was going, he just instinctively wanted to escape from the shadow and pain of his mind.A soft cough sounded behind him, causing the young man to move forward in place.He looked back and saw a man in a trench coat and a cane standing silently behind him, but a few seconds ago, it was empty."
Are you leaving?"
Merlin, who wore Beowulf's disguise, like a crow's beak mask, asked, "After killing 17 people by mistake, are you going to give up on the 'hero' path you just started?"
”"I don't deserve it—" Tyrone was already distraught, and he didn't care about Merlin's sarcasm, "I don't deserve to be the hero of my imagination anymore, I'm a murderer, worse than the worst criminal." ”"Then why did you run away?"

Merlin said with interest: "Wouldn't it be better to wait in the hospital for the judgment to come?"
”"I'm going to find the dead and wounded."
Tyrone said: "Make amends to the relatives of the deceased as much as possible, and obtain the forgiveness of those who are injured...
After all this is done, I will turn myself in.Whether it's jail time, or a more direct punishment, I'm willing to accept it. ”"!"
Merlin stepped forward, he reached out and grabbed Tyrone's collar, and looked at the young man with a wound on his face, and said mercilessly, "You just want to escape!"
Don't make excuses for your cowardice!
You're a murderer, Lord Tyrone, you killed your best friend in the Boston murder case, and trying to atone for your sins won't change what you've done. ”"No, I'm not!"
When Merlin talked about the murder in Boston, Tyrone, who was already dead-faced, suddenly burst out, and he retorted to the masked weird guy in front of him with a hideous face: "I didn't kill Billy!"
We were witnessing a robbery and we called the police, but the police mistakenly thought Billy was the murderer, and I wanted to explain, but at the time I was suffering from a severe stutter...
Billy was shot, right in front of my eyes, it was the police who fired the shot!
They also tried to kill me. ”"That's not what I did!
I'm innocent!
”"Oh?
Are you sure?
”Merlin stared at the young man, and he said, "If what you say is true, then let me see your memory, and if you have a clear conscience, then surely you will not refuse." ”"Check your memories?"
Tyrone looked at Merlin, who looked horrible in the darkness of the night with a pale light dancing on the crow-pointed beak mask on his face.He saw the sarcasm shining in his dark red eyes beneath the mask, and it made Tyrone feel humiliated.He gritted his teeth and said to Merlin, "Then look!
At least in the matter of Billy, I have a clear conscience!
”"Look me in the eye!"
Merlin activated the Dementor Curse, and the next moment, Tyrone's memories unfolded in front of his eyes, probably because the young man did not resist at all, in short, this time the memory search went unexpectedly well.Merlin saw Tyrone's experiences in Boston, he saw the young man's friend shot dead by the police, he saw Tyrone flee from the bullets, he came to New York, hid in Hell's Kitchen, and saw what he was doing in Hell's Kitchen.He fights crime unobtrusively and in a low-key manner, leaving the scene as soon as the matter is over, and never asking the rescued to do anything for him, although he acts in a slightly immature way, he never takes the lives of criminals, but leaves them to the police who are long overdue.Icarus was right, if it weren't for those 17 lives, Tyrone would almost be a true street hero in Merlin's heart.A monkey version of Batman who has been demoted several times."
AhhThe pain of being searched for memories made Tyrone.
Johnson could no longer stand up straight, and in the pain of his splitting head, he half-knelt on the ground, holding his head and moaning in pain.Merlin looked at the young man at his feet, he crouched down, put his finger on his shoulder, and said, "Well, you are indeed not hopeless...
I'll ask you a question, and you're going to answer me honestly. ”"Do you want to be a hero?"
“？”
Tyrone raised his head and looked at the strange man with the spiky beak crow mask in front of him with a look of astonishment, and said, "Who the hell are you?"
Why do you ask?
”"You just have to answer me honestly, do you want to be a hero?"
Merlin said, "I advise you to answer carefully. ”"I...
I think. ”Tyrone knelt on the ground, he clenched his fists and propped himself on the ground, he lowered his head and whispered, "But I can't, can I?"
I've made mistakes, 17 innocent people, all that blood, it's a constant reminder that I'm just a murderer. ”"Actually, I don't think it's a bad thing either, you make a mistake and it will teach you a lesson that you won't make the same mistake again next time you are faced with the same situation.Those innocent people who die because of you will become a wake-up call in your ears, a shackle that binds you, a shackle that will deprive you of the freedom of your soul in this life, a thorn that makes you walk in thorns, and a way to understand that the rules of this world are not only a bondage, but also a protection. ”Merlin stood up, he patted the dust off his hands, and he said to Tyrone: "Maybe you can do something more meaningful, really remedy your mistakes than to be sent to court, you can choose to be an atonement, you are not hopeless."
Plus, your friend Billy, the cop who killed him for no reason, will soon be taken to court, and your charges will be cleared, but you still need to atone. ”"You...
Who are you?
”Tyrone struggled to get up from the ground, he looked at Merlin, and he asked.Merlin flicked his fingers and 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 are willing to give everything to fight for it...
Tyrone.
Johnson, young man who wants to be a hero, answer me, would you like to?
