Chapter 1921 Each Has His Own Heart, the Tide Is About to Rise
Frank was different from ordinary people. Strange had already heard about this, but he had never had any in-depth contact with him. This was the first time he realized that this child was so different.
Ming Ming is not very old, but he speaks in an orderly manner, like a young adult, which is rare. Of course, being precocious is not a particularly unusual thing. At least one is a doctor. Even if you have never seen a pig run, you can learn about this special group from various cases.
The extraordinary intelligence and maturity displayed in childhood is a hallmark of genius. It is different from the kind of saying that we are dull since childhood and become a successful person through hard work when he grows up. On this point, Strange can tell you very clearly based on the medical cases he has seen that talent An ordinary or even dull child, unless his luck is extraordinary or someone is willing to spare no expense to train him, otherwise, he basically has no chance of success.
The truly successful people are basically the type with outstanding talents. With outstanding talent, coupled with indomitable hard work, this is a standard for success. As for ordinary people, hard work can only barely keep up with the footsteps of such geniuses, and it is simply a joke to talk about catching up with or surpassing them.
The human cluster itself is set in this way, the individual provides the direction, and the whole provides the foundation, and this is something that no one can change. And it was precisely because of his clear understanding of this point that Strange inevitably felt a little surprised by Frank.
Another genius, and counting his father Tony Stark and his grandfather Howard Stark, this is already three consecutive generations of their family who have this kind of genius. Genes that are so good are rare in the entire human population. After all, judging from the current situation, the combination of excellent people will only raise the minimum threshold, and it is difficult to break through the highest threshold.
Unfortunately, true geniuses look at the highest threshold. You can be an idiot in other ways, but as long as you are extraordinary in one way, then you are a true genius. In the same way, even if you are a little bit higher than ordinary people in all aspects, as long as you have no aspect that is completely above the level of ordinary people, then you are just an ordinary person after all.
This is why those in power and capitalists obviously have more resources and can choose the most preferred partner to give birth to the best offspring, but it is still easy to appear among the offspring of the prodigal and the street. They really can't be sure whether their descendants can break through this threshold, and in which direction to make the breakthrough.
In this regard, they are actually equal to those ordinary families. What is unequal is that the base of ordinary families far exceeds their ruling class. And relying entirely on luck, in any case, the side with a larger base will be more dominant. This is also the best way for those ordinary families to turn around.
Because no matter how you say it, it's more likely than expecting to trade in stocks or win the lottery to turn around.
Having said so much, Strange actually has only one idea now, and that is to show an equal attitude, instead of treating Frank in front of him like a child. After all, he doesn't act like a child, and judging from his attitude, he doesn't seem to want to treat him like a child.
This is quite simple, after all Strange really doesn't have much experience in taking care of children. It's a good thing for him that he doesn't need to make things so complicated now. So he just brewed his tone a little bit, and he asked Frank a question.
"So, your next plan is to hide in this mouse hole with me?"
"Why, as the only remaining fellow student, are you planning to keep me out?"
In his heart, he was also worried that Strange would cross the river and tear down the bridge, so Frank blocked some of the possibilities directly with words. Unless it was said that Strange really didn't intend to lose face, of course, he didn't have such an idea at all.
"How is it possible? After all, you are the direct disciple of Master Gu Yi. Although Master Gu Yi finally handed over the inheritance to me, it is because your age is not suitable. This burden is for you now. In the end, it’s still too heavy, you can’t bear it. And when you grow up to be able to bear it all, I’ll give it back to you sooner or later, won’t I?”
In this way Strange showed that he had no claim to the Sorcerer Supreme's legacy. At the same time, he also took the liberty to figure out the thoughts of Master Gu Yi. However, this idea is inevitably a bit too tender. Frank, who had been in close contact for a while, knew very well that Master Ancient One would definitely not be such a person. She is an old monster who has lived for more than a thousand years. The so-called warmth may have been wiped out in the long time. Ordinary little things may not be shown, but when it comes to the big thing about the inheritance of the supreme mage, what she thinks about will definitely be very realistic, and the rationality makes people feel terrible.
Of course, he doesn't dislike this reality. After all, they are essentially the same existence, only slightly different in details.
This is Frank's inner voice, the kind that is not humane. At the very least, with his current relationship with Strange, he wouldn't be able to tell him such private things. Therefore, after Strange finished making these inaccurate guesses, he had already dealt with them casually.
"This kind of thing doesn't matter at all, doctor. If you want to be a supreme mage or something, you can continue to be one. I studied with the ancient one to understand the true meaning of magic. As for the title of supreme mage, does it belong to me? It’s all insignificant things.”
"Well, to explore the mysteries of magic, I hope you can still say such innocent words when you grow up."
Although he didn't really believe Frank's words, considering his age, Strange could only force himself to believe it.
"I have no problem with you hiding in this mouse hole with me, but your mother? I mean what about her? You should know her situation. According to my point of view, what she needs now is a long-term professional Treatment and maintenance. These are things we cannot provide here, if you bring her with you, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to guarantee that her condition will not deteriorate."
"It's not something you need to worry about, Doctor Strange."
Hearing Strange talk about his mother, Frank suddenly couldn't control his emotions. But he knew very well that this had nothing to do with Strange, so he quickly restrained his emotions.
"Sorry, my tone may be a bit too much. But as I said, it has nothing to do with you. Moreover, even if I agree with you, what professional medical treatment will be arranged for my mother? The state of the world, can I still find a team like this?"
"Of course the answer is impossible. In that case, why should I do this, and put my mother in a trap with my own hands? Compared with this stupid approach, I would rather take her with me, and finally At least in this way, I can take care of her with my own hands to ensure her safety."
"Okay, okay, maybe you should be more considerate." Shaking his head, Strange had to admit that his statement was inconsiderate, and in order to make up for the mistake he just made, he immediately He made such a promise to Frank.
"Although I don't have much experience in psychiatry, I have learned some cases. I think I can do things like take care of patients, so if you need help, just ask me. …”
"Thank you, I will." Strange's words made Frank add another label to him in his heart, which was pedantic. He seems to be too rigid in the traditional concept of good and evil, and this is obviously an unnecessary thing for the supreme mage. You must know that although the supreme mage can be called a lofty status, what it represents does not represent absolute brightness and stalwart. Even from the standpoint of human beings as a whole, the actions of its former owner are indistinguishable from merit to demerit. In the face of a entrapped sufferer like the United States, her behavior will be even more criticized.
The reason for this is that what the Supreme Mage needs to do is often based on a very realistic point of view. Do not take personal interests as the starting point, but take the overall interests of the human world as the principle. Under this premise, many unavoidable choices will inevitably appear inhumane. And this is what the Supreme Mage must do.
Because you are destined to cause harm to some people, and you are destined to make the choice of sacrificing a small number of people and saving most people. That being the case, pedantic benevolence is completely unnecessary, and even says it will only make you do wrong and irreparably harm the world.
In Frank's eyes, Strange's performance was completely unqualified, and he even said that he didn't think Strange would have such an awareness. But this has nothing to do with him, for one thing, he is not the supreme mage. Secondly, even if he became the supreme mage, he did not intend to abide by such dogma.
He is not Ancient One, who can have such a sincere feeling for his own race for a long thousand years, and he is not Ultron, and all he thinks about is the future of mankind. All he cares about is himself and his family. So even if he became the supreme mage, he would only act in the interests of his own people.
From this point of view, Master Gu Yi's vision is undoubtedly accurate. As for Strange, he couldn't see Frank's nature. In his opinion, Frank was undoubtedly a good boy. It's not just as simple as being smart, but more importantly, his affection for his family is very precious.
As a doctor, it is inevitable that you will encounter cases where you face the double test of financial interests and family affection. Although in terms of ethics, what people want to see is the situation of giving up money and interests for the sake of their families, but in fact, what Strange sees more is the kind of people who would rather sever family ties because of huge bills. case.
Don't think that everyone in the United States can afford the bills of private hospitals. To put it bluntly, in the face of those expensive medical bills, even the well-to-do middle class often face the danger of bankruptcy. This is often the time when adversity reveals the truth, but unfortunately, the so-called true love is not worth the property, and every year because of this situation, there will not be one or two people who break up or divorce.
Strange has seen a lot, and it is precisely because of seeing a lot that he feels that Frank's choice is commendable. In this kind of world, if such a person who protects his mentally abnormal mother as a minor is not a good person and cannot be trusted by you, then I am afraid that there is no one who can be trusted. You trust as a good person.
Strange judged Frank's behavior with such emotional color, so he was not stingy at all to show his kindness to Frank.
"Since you have decided to do this, it is not too late. Take your mother and move in now. There is not much time left for us. If you go in earlier, we may save a little time." Very dangerous."
"Okay, no problem. But what about you?"
It is not unheard of for the host to invite guests to take refuge in his own home, but it rarely happens. Frank has complicated thoughts, and he will inevitably consider some small possibilities. And even if he had confirmed what kind of person Strange was, he still couldn't help but question him.
"I, don't forget, I have an agreed meeting with your housekeeper. No matter how you say it, I need to let him know your plans and future. In this way, when your father finishes solving the problem in hand No trouble, it’s convenient to contact you.”
Strange casually gave an answer that Frank could accept. And after learning about his thoughts, Frank no longer continued to be hypocritical, but after nodding slightly in thanks, he hastily acted.
Taking care of a mother with mental problems is not an easy task, especially since he wants to do everything himself, which will naturally make things more complicated.
After all, Strange was an outsider, and he was embarrassed to intervene without permission. So he could only sit and watch Frank go about his business. And just when he was bored, chanting the Buddhist Heart Sutra over and over again. Suddenly, the feeling of palpitations has arisen spontaneously.
He had a slight sense, and quickly turned to the direction of Master Gu Yi. At this time, the avatar of the ancient mage also raised his head, looking at the sky above his head.
"In the end, they're still back..."
