Saji was extremely indignant at Kai's behavior of only caring about his daughter's life and death and disregarding the lives of others... He was wearing a vest and shorts. The magic power of the amulet before was not very lethal, it just pushed people away. Of course, you can't expect this thing to be gentle. Others were fine, at most they fell, no one died, and the injuries were just that. But Saji... He was now covered with scratches. With clothes and without clothes, the "defense" was definitely two completely different concepts. What's worse, the scene was very bad, with gravel and uneven ground everywhere. The feeling... Anyone who learned to ride a bicycle during the summer vacation as a child and fell can deeply understand it.
Those small stones or other debris will be embedded directly into the flesh because of the fall... It hurts when you fall, and it hurts when you treat the wound.
But no matter how angry Saji was, he dared not say anything... That was his boss, and Saji knew his boss's temperament too well. In this situation, if he went to accuse his boss, the most likely thing he would get was a beating, which might be teleported directly.
So shut up! Wait for the matter to be over, and then the boss will definitely feel guilty and make all kinds of compensation.
Believe in Saji, he definitely has rich experience in fleecing his boss. Why is the special department so arrogant and doesn't give face to anyone? Because he has two big sponsors, Wayne Group and Stark Group. Why can the special department look down on other departments? Because their special equipment is rich enough to make other departments drool!
Various black technology weapons, even the US government is a little jealous. After all, a local security force actually has black technology that is more drooling than the most core violent agencies of the US government. This is too unreasonable.
But no one dares to move.
Because these black technology weapons are all provided by Tony Stark and Kai Wayne.
If you have the ability, ask these two people to hand over all the black technology to the country!
See if they care or not.
Saji reacted quickly, and figured out so many messy things almost in an instant.
Here, Emma saw that she was protected, and she also sensed what her father was doing, so in order to avoid making things worse, she hurriedly shouted: "Dad!! Don't! I'm safe here! Really safe! I'm fine! I'm fine!! Really, I swear!"
Kai's movements froze for a moment.
He immediately checked Emma's condition through the amulet.
It was found that Emma seemed to be a little tired, but there was no damage.
Yes, the amulet can sense the user's status. It's just that Kai was so anxious at the beginning that he forgot it.
"Are you really okay?" Although it is a very bad behavior to misuse the precious amulet, Kai is still more concerned about Emma's safety. Whatever it is, we can talk about it alone after returning. He will not scold her when Emma is still outside. This would make Emma very embarrassed... In fact, Kai would try his best to respect the three children. Even if they made mistakes, as long as they were not fatal mistakes, he would rather talk to them face to face at home rather than outside.
Children also have self-esteem.
"Really! But I have a very urgent matter here that needs your help, Dad!"
Kai was relieved a lot when he heard that Emma's personal safety was fine. As for Emma playing with the amulet casually like a bear child... Theresa did so, Kai believed it. Because she is indeed a little... bear. As for little Bernard, that is more likely, because she is really stupid. Sometimes Kai is worried, will this child really have problems in the future?
As for Emma, she is impossible. She is too sensible, so sensible that Kai sometimes feels that he seems to be redundant.
"So?" Kai asked directly.
Emma said it was urgent, so it must not be a small matter.
At this time, a blue figure rushed over with a group of people in black in the distance.
Emma recognized the woman. She was the first to attack Marx. In Marx's impression, this guy is the government's minion!
So Emma immediately shouted, "Dad! There are bad guys trying to take Wanda's dad away!"
"Huh?" This is Kai's question. Wanda's dad, who is that? If he remembered correctly, Wanda should be an orphan. For this matter, Wanda and her brother Pietro even specifically sought revenge on Tony.
Her dad is alive?
Of course, such things were nonsense in the past, but in this world, although it is also ridiculous, it is not impossible.
There are so many monsters, and all kinds of messed up things can happen.
"Huh?" This is Pietro.
Wanda's dad, isn't it his dad? They are twins, born from the same mother, so naturally they have the same father... Wait? It seems that there are exceptions.
Pietro has come to the United States now, where information is developed and many anecdotes can be heard. Pietro has heard the rumor of "twins with the same mother and half father". (This thing really happened, but the probability is very, very low. Less than one in a million. (According to China News Weekly. Deng Yajun, director of Beijing Zhongzheng Judicial Appraisal Institute and paternity tester, talked about such an incident in an interview: a man's wife gave birth to twins. This was originally a very happy thing, but because there were some problems in registering the children, he went for a paternity test. The result of the test showed that one of the twins was his biological offspring, and the other was not, which means that one of the children was not.)
What kind of behavior would lead to such a situation? Usually only two men can have a relationship with a woman of childbearing age in a very short period of time. The germ cells of the two men survive in the woman's body at the same time. At this time, the woman must produce two mature eggs at the same time, and then The sperm cells of the two men found the two eggs to fertilize them at the same time, and the insemination process basically had to be completed at the same time to form two fertilized eggs from the same mother and father, and then implanted and conceived separately, and they were born as half-mothers. Two babies.
The birth rate of twins is about one in a thousand, while the birth rate of twins from the same mother and father is about one in a million, which is extremely rare.
A similar case occurred in Dallas, Texas, in June 2008. Twin brothers Justin Washington and Jordan Washington were found to be half-father through a paternity testing agency.
In short, this situation is rare, but it does not mean that it does not happen.
Pietro thought about his appearance, and then looked at Wanda, who was still kneeling next to Max, and found that the two of them looked... indeed very different. Wanda had red hair, not dyed natural, and he had red hair. ? His hair color is light yellow. The facial features are a bit different...
Damn it.
Is it true?
So what should I call Wanda?
Wait, that's not right. Although they are not the same father, they have the same mother!
They are still twins, they just have different fathers, they are still brother and sister.
Pietro breathed a sigh of relief.
But looking at the man in front of him, Pietro's senses became very complicated.
What the hell, was this bastard the one who cheated on his father?
No one knew where Pietro's ideas had gone.
"Huh?" was the reaction of others.
Why did Wanda's father appear?
What kind of number is this?
Made it up?
But why?
Spider-Man is curious.
The older ones looked at Wanda and saw that Wanda didn’t look like she was just pretending. Wanda doesn’t have this acting skill yet.
Fortunately, Emma quickly told the whole thing clearly and logically.
Thanks to Emma, this matter is really complicated after all.
Even for adults, without a period of sorting and adjustment, it is probably impossible to say it completely, not only clearly but also concisely.
It's easy to see what's going on.
And Pietro was also freed from his random thoughts. Fortunately, it was not so bloody. This was his and Wanda's biological father. However, due to a series of tragedies, he and their mother were separated, and eventually their father and son were separated for so many years.
Kai was dumbfounded when he heard this... Is New York... so lively now? This plot is so gripping.
"So what are you going to ask me to do?" Kai probably understood, so he asked.
"I want you to help Wanda, Max...is Wanda's father. He is going to be taken away by those bad guys."
"Emma...my little Emma." Kai didn't know what to say. My own Emma was so emotional: "Do you know who he is?"
"I know, I've seen his whole life! I know everything about him. He's not a bad guy!"
Emma said quickly.
"No! Emma, when you think like this, it means that you have lost your objectivity and look at this matter completely subjectively. Of course, this is okay. No one in the world can be truly objective, but Emma, Do you really think that what you see is real and the truth?”
Kai finally felt like an old father. I still have some use for myself, at least I still have some life experience.
"His memory can't lie to me!" Emma said with certainty.
Wanda also looked over at this time.
The group was getting closer.
Even with Wanda's knowledge, she knew that she and Pietro would never be able to stop the gang. More importantly, once the war started, their peaceful life would be completely lost.
Wanda didn't want that.
"Memory will not lie to you, but it does not mean that there is no problem with memory. My Emma, my dear daughter, you have to remember one thing, memory is unreliable. It itself is a description of past events by the brain. , a self-description. It is more subjective than anything! People are the best at lying to themselves.”
García Márquez's "One Hundred Years of Solitude" begins with this: Many years later, facing the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía will recall that distant afternoon when his father took him to see the ice. . At that time, Macondo was a village of twenty families. Houses made of mud and reeds were lined up along the river bank. The rushing river water was crystal clear, and the pebbles in the river bed were as white and smooth as prehistoric giant eggs.
There is no doubt that this passage is a classic in the history of literature and is destined to be famous throughout the ages. However, psychologists have given a completely different explanation for this. Psychologists believe that any text that begins with "I still remember it clearly after many years" is making up a story. Because after a long time, our memory is like a dead old tree. After decades of ups and downs, it is destined to become decayed and will never remain intact. In our memory, there are a lot of falsehoods and reconstructions, or even fabrications out of thin air. When it comes to memory, we always think that memory is like driving a car into a garage. When you need to recall, you open the garage door and the car will drive out intact.
This kind of metaphor about memory just reflects our profound misunderstanding of the principle of memory!
In fact, the real situation of memory is like this - this car has no garage at all, only a parts shelf. If you want to store it, the whole car is disassembled in an instant, and different parts are stored on different shelves; if you want to drive this car, you need to temporarily reassemble all the parts, some parts are lost, some parts are extra, and some parts are taken by mistake; after many times of assembly, this car even becomes a completely different car - but we are not aware of this!
We live so carelessly and confidently! For example, now let me recall the past of middle school decades ago, I can probably only remember some fragmented fragments at that time, most of the content is blank, but the existence of these blanks is unacceptable to the brain, so the brain will automatically fill it in, and finally the whole event is still continuous and complete. In fact, many contents were replaced by me unintentionally.
At the same time, memory can be implanted.
Elizabeth Loftus is a psychologist at the University of California. In 1995, she conducted a famous experiment: the shopping mall lost experiment. She found 24 volunteers and gave each of them a booklet with 4 childhood experiences written on it. Among these four childhood experiences, three are true, which are real life fragments collected by Loftus from the relatives of each volunteer. However, the fourth experience was made up by Loftus himself - when the volunteer was about 5 years old, he was lost in a shopping mall, and finally a stranger sent him home.
In order to make this fabricated story more realistic, Loftus specifically asked each volunteer's parents about the details of their childhood life, such as the name of their local shopping mall. The experimental requirements are that each volunteer is asked to carefully recall the four childhood memories and write them down.
Guess what the result is?
Among the 24 people, 6 people remembered the fictitious event of getting lost in the mall, and they could remember the details clearly: what the stranger who sent him home looked like, what clothes he was wearing...
In fact, research on childhood memories has found that most childhood memories are forgotten because of the incomplete development of the brain, immature language skills, and the lack of logical relationships between things during childhood. Most of the memories about childhood are obtained from the conversations of adults, and then constantly supplemented, imagined and fabricated.
Yes! This is one of the most important reasons why childhood is beautiful, because you don’t remember many things at all, so what should you do? Just fill in the blanks!
Almost everyone will miss the time and happiness of childhood, when the sky was blue, the ground was green, the air was clean, and people were carefree. In childhood, because the mind has not been polluted, the dream is still hazy, with the care of parents and the warm bed of home, it will naturally make the little people more carefree and have more simple happiness.
But what is the reality?
It is the commonality of people that they know how to cherish what they have lost and feel the beauty after they have gone through it. In fact, the real situation is that the present has its own advantages, and the past naturally has its own shortcomings. People just like to filter out the bad memories of the past in their memories, just like dyeing black and white photos into color photos. The things are still the same things, and the people are still the same people, but the angles are different, and the mood is also different.
So memory is unreliable!
Many people say that the brain is so magical, but in fact, in terms of the ability to store information, the brain is much worse than a computer. It will forget many things and many attacks over time. And the brain is best at making up and deceiving itself.
Your memory and what you actually experienced are sometimes completely different things.
Because memory is too subjective and completely based on me! It often automatically modifies many details and even distorts the original things!
So, is a person's memory really what really happened, exactly?
The answer is no!
Professor Wo Rist, a famous criminal psychologist, designed a unique experiment: During his class, a senior student took out a pistol, and another student rushed up to try to stop him. As a result, the gun went off, but fortunately no one was injured. The students were still in shock, and the professor told them that this was a pre-designed teaching link. A few minutes later, the professor asked the students to provide details of their entire witnessing process. It was found that 80% of the contents of all witness records were wrong.
Elizabeth Loftus proposed a concept: the witness memory effect - many eyewitness testimonies are inaccurate and have typical personal biases.
Her opinion was recognized by the US judicial department and triggered the US "Washing the Wrongful" project, a non-profit team of lawyers and law students whose purpose is to re-examine those suspicious murder convictions.
In more than 360 cases involved in the "Washing the Wrongful" project, up to 78% of the wrongful cases cited eyewitness testimony as key evidence, and DNA analysis was later used to clear these people. A large number of studies have shown that people tend to overestimate their facial recognition ability, and most of what we remember are some common features. However, our brain will automatically fill in information through our own speculation, and all this is done quietly, even the parties themselves are not aware of it. Our brain is reconstructing memory every moment.
Again, human memory is unreliable!
