"Hello, Dr. Ethan, this is Dr. Connors. You two will have a common language." Schiller introduced to Ethan.
"Hello." Ethan and Connors shook hands, and Schiller continued: "I remember that you both have experience teaching at the University of California, right?"
"Oh, yes, that's right." Ethan said, "I taught physics at the University of California for half a year. That was several years ago."
"I'm almost the same, except that I was a visiting professor and taught for a shorter time, and you know, biology wasn't taken seriously at that time..."
"Remember those little bastards who caused a huge mess at that graduation party?"
"Oh! Are you talking about the Onion Club gang? Of course I remember that group of sheep ran rampant in the school for three or four days. It is said that old Professor Frank even got his butt kicked by them, hahahahahaha..."
The few of them chatted for a while, and Schiller guided the conversation without leaving any trace. Soon, Ethan said with emotion: "That's really a narrow escape, right?"
"...They didn't have such advanced means of disposing of corpses. I went into shock, so they just threw me into the corpse pit. Fortunately, there was a kind-hearted corpse collector who found that I didn't seem to be dead, so he dragged me After I came out, Stark sent people to find my body and bury me, and then they found out that I was not dead..."
"Thanks to him, there is a shortage of medical treatment in that place. If Stark hadn't sent someone back to find me, I might not have survived for two days."
Dr. Connors shook his head and said, "If you are not a good professor, why would you go to that place? Afghanistan is a complete cemetery, and the regular army will not be able to gain any benefit from it."
Ethan sighed and said: "Originally, this was subject to confidentiality regulations, but now there is nothing to hide. This is related to a plan of the military."

Connors' fingers tightened and he glanced at Schiller. Schiller exchanged glances with him, then coughed and said, "Coincidentally, we also recently discovered a plan for the military to conduct human experiments... "
"That doesn't matter anymore." Ethan said, "I have tried my best to prevent the inhumane things here, otherwise I wouldn't be left alone in that hellish place."
The few people continued to chat, and Schiller gradually learned from Ethan the whole process of how he survived the catastrophe.
Ethan is a physicist. He was supposed to be accompanied by the military to Afghanistan to conduct a secret experiment. However, something went wrong during the experiment. Ethan seemed to have tampered with some things, causing some experiments to fail and the military to withdraw. At that time, he was left alone in Afghanistan, and was immediately captured by the group of people who captured Iron Man.
The group heard that Ethan was a Ph.D. in physics and wanted him to make weapons for them, so the plot of the movie Iron Man 1 happened later. However, the difference was that Ethan did not die in the end, but escaped by chance. .
This solved a question in Schiller's mind. Logically speaking, Stark's desire to close the weapons manufacturing department should be very strong, but the Stark he met changed his mind after just a little persuasion. Le knew that he was just a psychiatrist, not God. How could Stark change his mind so easily?
In fact, it is because the key point of Dr. Ethan's death is missing from the stimulation of Stark. Therefore, although Stark reflects on the fact that making weapons by himself may hurt more people, there is no original work. He was so paranoid that Schiller changed his mind after just a little persuasion, otherwise Stark would not look back even if others told him otherwise.
Schiller briefly introduced to Ethan the recent stories about Stark. Ethan was also a little sad, but in the end he said: "No matter what, the uncle he grew up with is not dead, and he is not alone." Man, he still has relatives, which is a good thing, people always have to be a little concerned, so as not to fall into a desperate situation and be unable to look back."
The three people continued chatting in the psychological clinic. They actually had many topics in common because they had similar education levels and had many of the same experiences.
Even if counted, all three of them are alumni. Dr. Connors has three doctorates, and Ethan and Schiller both have two. They have taught in many different schools, and there are always one or two among them. The schools overlapped, and it was always interesting to talk about this experience.
After a while, the door of the clinic rang softly, and Peter came in with his schoolbag on his back. As soon as he entered, he was shocked by the aura of the top student in the room. He said, "Well, didn't I come at the right time? Then I Come back later..."
Before he could slip away, Dr. Connors stood up and grabbed him, hugged him and walked over and said: "Look, look at our talented boy, Ethan, this is Peter, he is still in high school, but he When he was an intern in my laboratory, his performance was excellent, and he was no worse than the graduate students I had taught.”
"Peter, this is Dr. Ethan..."
"Hello, Dr. Ethan."
While Peter was saying hello, Steve also walked in, holding a hot dog in his hand. He had not seen Connors yet, so Schiller introduced him: "This is Dr. Connors, a doctor of medicine and pharmacology." Ph.D. in Physics and Biology, Dr. Ethan, Ph.D. in Mathematics and Physics, and as for me, as you should already know, Ph.D. in Psychology and Philosophy.”
Steve opened his mouth, gently touched Peter's arm with his elbow and said, "There are seven doctors in the room now, right?"
"There are only five of us."
"On average, each of us still has more than one." Steve winked at Peter, and Peter also laughed. He also whispered: "I will also take two in the future, no, I will take three." Doctorate degrees, so the five of us will have 10 doctorates, and each of us can get two on average."
"Then I am also a double doctor. Thank you very much."
After saying that, the two of them laughed together.
A few people sat down, and just like most of the time when chatting, the topic would come to the youngest person. Ethan asked Peter: "Have you considered your future professional direction? Which university are you planning to take? University?"
"I haven't thought about it too much." Peter said a little shyly: "Although my grades are pretty good now, I don't have much confidence in applying to those good universities. After all, there are too many people with good grades..."
"Don't worry, we can write you a letter of recommendation, but of course, you have to work hard on your own, otherwise even if you can enter a certain university, it will be difficult to graduate."
"You underestimate him too much." Dr. Connors said: "When he was an intern with me, his talent was definitely one of the best. Let alone university, I think it would be fine for him to go directly to graduate school now."
"Oh, don't say that! Doc, I'm not even close yet."
Connors discovered Peter's lack of confidence. He was not being modest, but he seemed to really have little confidence in himself.
He gave Schiller a look, and the two of them went to the roof to smoke together. Schiller said: "Peter's family conditions were not good before, and he was also quite marginalized at school. Even if his grades were good, he had to worry about college tuition every day. His Uncle is a good man with ordinary abilities..."
"I know, it's like this again. I've seen many students like this. Most of them lack self-confidence."
"Peter's problem is more serious. You know, he is Spider-Man. He puts all his expectations of realizing the value of life on his superhero identity. We are all trying to correct him and encourage him to be more Peter. Parker's identity, but you also know that he suddenly has such a strong power and can use this power to help others, of course he will do so."
Schiller said: "You can't talk too much to people of this age, or use professional knowledge to make them understand the balance between the two identities. Their self-control ability is not that strong. Which identity brings them The more accomplished he is, the more attached he will be to that identity.”
"It's such a pity. I don't want him to become a person who just hangs around and fights with those street gangsters. He is quite talented and has a smart mind. He can achieve greater achievements."
As he was talking, Schiller noticed that a wisp of smoke came out of the horizon, and then a tall figure appeared. Schiller squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and found that it seemed to be a monster.
Schiller put out his cigarette, threw it to the ground, stamped on it, and then said, "Go back first, something happened."
As soon as he arrived downstairs, Stark called: "There are monsters over there in the East End. Go ask Dr. Connors if he has any clues."
"Dr. Connors? Why are you asking Dr. Connors?"
"Because this monster looks very much like an iguana, I think he and lizards should be in the same family, right?"
At this moment, Dr. Connors also saw the scene in the distance with a telescope. The thing that was jumping around in the city was a monster with fiery red skin. It was different from ordinary lizards. It looked more like an iguana, with arms and top of its head. They all have iguana-specific spikes, their skin is rougher, and there are layers of throat pouches under their necks.
Dr. Connors cursed, put down the telescope, picked up his coat and was about to leave. Peter went up to hold him and said, "Doctor! Where are you going?"
"Go to the laboratory in Stark Tower, oh, by the way, Schiller! Ask him to open the permissions to me. This is most likely a product of the military's plan. I have to find a way to solve this trouble."
"No, from here to Stark Tower, you may pass through the affected area. You are just an ordinary person. I will send you there."
"How are you going to send me there? Let me swing in the air like you? Then that stupid monster will definitely chase us and bite us."
Connors put on his coat and walked quickly out of the clinic door. Peter followed. Connors walked to his car and said, "Let's go, get in the car."
Peter sat directly on the passenger seat.
But soon, he regretted it because he forgot that Dr. Connors, like Steve, was a veteran.
When the car arrived at the door of Stark Tower, Peter squatted on the ground holding on to the bumper and almost vomited.
Not to mention the damage caused by the monster, they couldn't even see their taillights.
Dr. Connors said: "When I had both hands intact, I could drive the car more than ten kilometers despite being bombed by six bombers. He was still far behind."
After he finished speaking, a thumb slowly stretched out from the front of the car's engine.
