Chapter 521 Schiller's Daily Life in the Hospital (Part 2)
"Disappointed?"
On the bed, Schiller picked up a slice of orange and threw it into his mouth, chewing and saying, "Stark and Bruce are the same kind of people. Don't I know what kind of people they are?"
On the table, Pikachu used his short hands to peel another orange, but the splashed orange juice got into his eyes. He rubbed his big dark eyes and asked, "So you just stay here? To be honest, even if you are really mentally ill, being hospitalized here shouldn't solve the problem, right?"
Schiller did not answer this question, but opened the drawer of the bedside table and said, "Where is the remote control? I remember the nurse told me that this TV can be watched..."
There is a TV on the wall facing Schiller's bed, which is very rare. Generally speaking, there will be no TV in the ward of a mental hospital, because the TV programs are more mixed, and some pictures and sounds may irritate the patients, but maybe because Stark informed the hospital in advance, the ward where Schiller lives is more like a convalescent ward, and it is very expensive, with all kinds of equipment.
The bed was raised, the fruit plate was ready, and the TV was turned on with the remote control. Schiller began to eat oranges and watch TV.
Just then, his cell phone rang. He picked up the phone and looked at the number, then answered the call and said, "Yes... You want to come over? Okay, I'm free now. Last time you told me that you were on a TV show, and I was planning to watch it..."
Schiller listened to Peter's helpless voice on the phone while pressing the remote control to change channels. Just when he finally found the variety show, a dull sound came from the window balcony with a "pop".
"Hua La", the balcony door was opened, and Peter, wearing a Spider-Man uniform, walked in, took off his hood, threw his schoolbag on the chair next to him, and saw the show on TV. He shook his head with a complicated expression, and then said: "Actually, there's nothing to watch..."
Peter quickly walked around the bed, clapped his hands with Pikachu, who he hadn't seen for a long time, took the remaining half of the orange from his hand, peeled a slice and threw it into his mouth, and then his facial features were wrinkled together by the sourness.
Schiller handed him the bunch of grapes in the fruit bowl. Peter ate two ripe sweet grapes and then he came to his senses. Seeing Schiller's hospital gown, Peter pursed his lips, then sat down beside the bed and asked:
"Doctor, can you tell me what's going on?"
Peter lowered his head, fiddled with his fingers and said, "Before, I heard in the Avengers' base that Mr. Stark said that you..."
"What did he say?" Schiller asked in a relaxed tone.
"He and the captain discussed about hiring a doctor for you. They said that you seem to have some psychological problems. What's going on?"
As he said that, Peter looked up and looked around the ward, then said, "So, psychologists also have psychological problems?"
"Of course, Peter." Schiller picked up another orange and said while peeling it, "Doctors can't treat themselves. Many times, psychologists are more likely to have psychological problems than normal people."
"Why?" Peter asked a little curiously.
"When you come into contact with various patients and listen to their stories, you often experience invisible mental stress..."
"Psychological trauma is different from real wounds. It is not easy to be noticed before it accumulates to a certain extent, but once it breaks out, the accumulated negative emotions will expand the wound, leading to more serious consequences than usual..."
"Is it the same for you? Doctor, do you also have psychological problems because of treating other people?"
"No, Peter, I don't have psychological problems, but mental problems. Didn't I tell you before? I have scholar autism. Although it has basically healed itself for some reason, I am still a mental patient..."
Peter looked at Schiller, who was lying on the bed and peeling oranges. At this time, he did not frown, but looked gentle. In Peter's impression, mental patients should be very nervous and painful.
"Since you have recovered by yourself, why do you still need to be hospitalized here?" Peter asked. He continued, "You sent me the address of the new nursing home before, but I haven't visited it yet. My uncle said that it is a small town with the most rich people. The environment should be very good, right?"
"You are welcome to go there anytime, but before that, let's talk about this first." Schiller pointed the remote control at the TV hanging on the wall. At this time, a huge cursive word "New York Weird Man" popped up on the TV screen.
The three-dimensional cursive characters rotated twice, then gradually shrank, the lights flickered, and the host in a suit walked onto the stage, raised his hands to welcome the cheers. The host wearing exaggerated sunglasses held the microphone and said in a high-pitched voice:
"Welcome to the latest and best show of New York TV - New York Weirdos!"
There were countless cheers from the audience, the lights flickered, and the streamers burst. The camera zoomed in on the host's upper body. He first read a piece of advertising slogans, and then said:
"Please allow me to tell you a good news here, no, maybe more than one good news!"
"You should have known the first good news. This program won the ratings championship less than two months after it was launched!"
"This is all thanks to the strange people in New York. They have all kinds of magical abilities. They are strong, powerful, handsome, and cute. They are you, me, and everyone!"
"We all love these strange people, right? Their weird masks, colorful uniforms, and various funny code names. What's more interesting than watching them have fun while washing clothes at night?"
"Therefore, this new show has become the most popular new star show in the history of New York TV! This is all thanks to you, these strange people, or superheroes, in New York!"
"Okay, there is no need to mention the past glory. Let's talk about another good news. This "Bob, the most famous scout since the show was launched, has sent me great news!"
"Guess who he met on the scout's way? You will never believe that he met the famous Spider-Man!!!"
The host's voice was almost broken with excitement. Schiller turned to look at Peter, who shrugged and introduced:
"This is a new variety show on New York TV, called New York Stranger. There are 12 scouts in this show. They will search all over New York to find those strange people with special abilities, let them be interviewed, and even visit their lives."
"What kind of people are strange people?" Schiller asked.
"They are superheroes with special abilities and who take it as their mission to fight criminals. There are quite a lot of such people in New York recently.
Peter scratched his head and said, "There are more and more superheroes wearing uniforms and masks, but most of them are ordinary people, but occasionally one or two do have special abilities. ”
“The scouts will communicate with them, understand their stories, and show their lives to the audience…”
“In one episode before, they interviewed a mutant who used special abilities to fight criminals, which caused a lot of controversy. As you know, mutants have never been very popular. Some people were surprised and some were terrified to learn that there are superheroes among them…”
“But this has brought a lot of popularity to the show, making it the hottest variety show now.”
Schiller touched his chin, looked at the host who kept introducing the rules and procedures, and then looked at Peter and asked, “So, you participated in this show?”
“Actually, I didn’t participate on purpose. "Peter sighed, and then began to tell what happened yesterday.
After Schiller was killed by Amit, the Iron Demon Stark shook the seals of all the gods on Earth, causing many demons to escape. The mysterious forces of various countries on Earth gathered urgently. With the cooperation of Kamar-Taj and the Earth Defense Network, most of these demons were stewed.
However, this incident still produced some aftermath. After the seals in cities or suburbs were broken, the surrounding residents would be affected. Some people had ghosts in their homes, and some people were unconscious.
The wizards sent people to solve most of the problems, but due to the chaos that occurred for a period of time, the crimes were Crime rates are rising, and the police are too busy to handle it, so superheroes like Spider-Man help fill the gap.
Ever since Iron Man and Spider-Man, two superheroes who can fly high and low, became popular in New York, there has been no shortage of imitators, most of whom only imitate their appearance, but some do have special abilities.
Being willing to become a superhero, even if it is just for acting, shows that this person essentially wants to do good things, and when encountering chaos, many of them stand up to fight criminals and help the police solve problems.
Therefore, the superhero group began to be more active in the public's vision, and New York TV stations caught this hot spot very well. Launched a variety show called "New York Weirdos".
Since revealing his identity to Gwen, Peter and Gwen's relationship has quickly heated up. However, Peter has to be busy with his superhero career and the research of Connors Laboratory. Gwen started looking for internships, attending summer camps, and preparing for her college. Both of them are very busy. They are like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and they don't see each other for a week.
Just yesterday, Peter finally finished the work at hand. He heard that Gwen was also on vacation. The two were very happy and prepared to go to the exhibition after a long time.
However, because of his excessive excitement, Peter left Connors Laboratory without taking the spider silk launcher, and went to meet his girlfriend. It was not appropriate to crawl into the sewer before the meeting, so he went straight through the streets and alleys to run to the meeting place.
But it happened that the strange scout in this variety show was looking for these superheroes all over the street.
In the past, Spider-Man and Iron Man, the hottest chickens, were flying high, either in the sky or swinging on the top of the building, but ordinary scouts could not reach them. Therefore, although this program has received a lot of attention, it has not found a real superhero who is very popular as an interview subject.
The scout met Spider-Man by chance and was so excited that he almost had a heart attack. The way he rushed up made Peter almost think he was a highway robber.
But then, he explained his purpose, which made Peter a little interested. After all, he grew up in New York and watched New York TV programs with his uncle and aunt since he was a child. He was still full of yearning for being on TV. He heard that it was just a simple interview, so he agreed without thinking too much.
At this time, the host on the TV screen raised one hand, the camera panned upwards, and the picture switched to a table in front of a Mexican stall. Schiller opened his eyes slightly, and Peter said helplessly:
"I don't know how the scout dared to go to Hell's Kitchen, but anyway, I met him at the place where we had tacos before..."
At this point, Peter sighed helplessly again and said: "Then he reminded: "Doctor, you'd better turn down the volume."
"Turn down? Why? Are you talking loudly?" Schiller asked with a smile.
At this time, the rough voice of the bearded scout came from the TV screen:
"Look at our Spider-Boy! The best superhero in New York! I am your biggest fan. If you can’t sign my T-shirt later, I will go home and cry with my teddy bear…”
Peter on the screen laughed so hard that he fell backwards. The two of them clinked their drink glasses and officially began the interview.
