Chapter 2090 The situation still hasn't improved... (please vote for the monthly ticket!)

"Albanian gang members are actually fans of the Flash... This discovery must shock the whole of America! It's so interesting!"

The one who appeared with Barry was, of course, Iris.

She had been filming and taking pictures with a camera from the beginning, and she also had a recorder with her to record all the conversations! This is very good material. If this thing can be sent out, it will definitely attract a lot of people!

This is also a benefit for being a friend of the Flash... At least Iris thinks so.

[I hope readers will remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network → と𝚠𝚔ｇ𝚗.𝚌’s situation𝚖]

"Iris... I think you still need to consider Harrison's advice and don't take these close-up photos. This will expose you." Barry looked at the endlessly talking Iris and couldn't help reminding him.

Barry couldn't refuse Iris.

I still remember when I was very young.

When he was a child, the Flash was doing his homework, and his mother was cooking in the kitchen. Because his mother forgot to buy tomato sauce when she went to the supermarket before, his mother asked his father to go to the supermarket to buy tomato sauce. The family was happy and full of love. Suddenly, his father came back and saw that his mother was killed. Then his father was identified as the murderer of his mother and was taken to prison.

He didn't understand why this happened. They didn't do anything, but their family was broken up. It was as if... the whole world was against their family in an instant.

Barry was very afraid of this world at that time... and even closed himself off for a while.

It was Joe and Iris who saved Barry! They made Barry realize that this world is not so scary, and there are good people in this world.

When Barry first entered the West family, Iris accepted Barry without hesitation, and even when Barry was afraid, she would sneak into Barry's room and sleep with him! Barry always felt that he was not a superhero, but a poor guy saved by a superhero, and this superhero was Iris West!

Joe could give everything to Barry, but Iris was Barry's light.

Barry even remembers now that in those dark nights, Joe encouraged himself not to be afraid. And Iris would sneak into his bed, hug him tightly, and let him feel the warm power.

This made Barry unable to refuse Iris... and didn't want to refuse!

He has always liked Iris, even though Iris's speed of changing boyfriends is almost catching up with his running speed.

But Barry doesn't mind, and he doesn't even mind that Iris really falls in love with a man and spends her life with him. In Barry's world, he just needs Iris to be happy.

Very dog-licking, right?

But Barry doesn't think this is a problem.

He regards Iris as a ray of light.

This is also why Barry can't confess to Iris... because he can't accept the deterioration of their relationship. Even if Iris is still romantic, Barry is still Iris's family and her best friend.

It can be said that Iris has no secrets from Barry.

She will share everything about herself with Barry... a bit like a best friend.

If he expressed his true feelings, would Iris really accept it?

Deep down, Barry felt that Iris would not accept it, because he knew how Iris viewed him deep down. He was a younger brother, a younger brother who needed protection and love.

Would you date your younger brother?

This is really strange.

So Barry suppressed his emotions.

Carefully maintained, even to the point of being humble.

When Iris found out that Barry was the Flash, her first reaction was not surprise, not happiness, but worry!

Endless worry.

In fact, Iris hoped that Barry was an ordinary forensic scientist, because then he would not be in any danger. The Flash... Before she knew that Barry was the Flash, Iris actually didn't care about the Flash at all. Although she chased the news about the Flash... But that was just a means to attract attention. At that time, she was looking forward to the Flash making big news every day, even if the Flash died the next second, she didn't care.

Anyway, they were all strangers, and she could rely on the popularity to harvest traffic again.

For Iris, the Flash is good and great... But what does it have to do with her? She is a million miles away from the Flash.

Other people's children will never die... This sentence sounds unreasonable and fucked up, but it is the best annotation of human nature. They may sigh at the greatness of strangers, and then nothing happens. The world will continue to live as it should.

But when Iris knew that the Flash was Barry, she couldn't describe her mood at that time... She was so scared!

If something happened to Barry... She didn't dare to think about it.

In the past, Iris thought that the Flash was powerful and would never get into trouble. She was happy to see the Flash make big news, but when she knew that it was her brother, Iris's thoughts were completely different. Every time she saw the news about the Flash, she felt that Barry was dancing in front of death!

This is simply unacceptable.

This is why Iris always hoped that Barry would reveal his identity.

Does Iris really not understand the evil of human nature?

As the saying goes, "the greater the power, the greater the responsibility." People with superpowers can uphold justice by wearing masks, but who should pay for this kind of private "masked vigilante" behavior if it causes accidental casualties? This is the issue discussed in the movie "Civil War". Iron Man and his faction support the Superhero Registration Act, hoping that superheroes will take off their masks and all their actions will be regulated by the law, rather than "upholding justice" without considering the consequences.

This bill sounds good, but it is actually a double-edged sword. Publishing the true identity is undoubtedly equivalent to exposing all of one's information and weaknesses to the enemy, and the consequences are simply unimaginable. What's more, in this way, the position of superheroes in upholding justice will be broken, and they will become scavengers working for the government.

Captain America, who symbolizes the will of American freedom and democracy, of course rejected this bill. Whether in comics or movies, Captain America is portrayed as a hero who yearns for justice and freedom. He never obeys the US government, even though he is called Captain America. Then the tragedy happened. Tony fooled Peter and gave him the Iron Spider suit. Just after Spider-Man publicly announced his true identity, the villain Kingpin sent someone to snipe Spider-Man, and Aunt May was implicated, and Peter was filled with regret. When Spider-Man: Far From Home released the first Easter egg, the dean was very worried that Aunt May or MJ would be implicated in the next movie. This is also the main reason why superheroes cannot reveal their true identities.

Generally speaking, most superheroes will not reveal their true identities, but there are also alternatives like Iron Man. Tony Stark directly announced that he was Iron Man at the press conference, and everyone present was shocked.

Tony was also targeted by the villains and had constant troubles. Of course, with the financial resources and influence of the Stark Group, most of the troubles encountered can be solved. Does that mean you can do whatever you want if you have money? Not necessarily. Bruce Wayne, who is also a billionaire, has never revealed his true identity. He secretly beats up criminals in Gotham City like an urban legend. In the movie "Batman: The Dark Knight", there is a 25-year-old man who guessed the secret of Wayne Technology and wanted to blackmail Bruce with it. In the end, he was almost killed and lost an entire hospital. Some people will ask, why doesn't Bruce reveal his identity? With the financial resources of the Wayne Group, he can be like Iron Man. Of course, this won't work. Batman has to face the corruption and evil of the entire Gotham City. In Gotham City, where the people are simple and honest, if the villains here hear that Batman is Bruce Wayne, they will blow up the Wayne Building in minutes, and all the employees of the Wayne Group will become hostages in an instant. Those bad companies that do evil in private will also attack the Wayne Group in various ways.

The different environment has destined Batman to be a masked vigilante fighting in the dark, and his "no killing principle" is also the last bottom line for maintaining justice. He knows that he cannot cross the line and cannot be above the law. He can only do his best on the edge of the law.

There is a famous quote in "Watchmen": "Who will supervise the watchmen?" Superheroes cannot be perfect. When masked vigilantes face reality, the moral and social issues that follow will be thought-provoking.

In fact, this is only one aspect. There is also public opinion.

Especially in today's society! The Internet is king!

People's mentality seems to be like this. Create a god to worship. When the worship reaches a certain level, people will question it. When questioning, they will destroy the god. After the destruction, create a new god again, and destroy it again, so as to achieve a certain reincarnation. This psychological reincarnation is a process of human cognition, which is not necessarily scientific, but the media grasped people's cognitive orientation and started the movement of creating and destroying gods. In ancient times, humans worshipped gods because humans did not have science at that time and did not know what caused the wind, rain, thunder and lightning in nature, so they worshiped them as gods. Not only that, but also worshipped the heroes in the tribe, worshipped animals and plants, and thus pantheism came into being. Until now, many people are still superstitious and still worship some gods. Throughout history, there have been many movements to create and destroy gods. People have taken what they need. Superstitious people worship gods, while non-superstitious people destroy gods. Whether it is superstition or destroying gods, it conforms to the laws of human cognition. In the Internet age, the media has cleverly grasped this law of human psychological development. They must constantly create and destroy gods to attract people's attention and lead people to consumption, so as to realize the appreciation of capital.

Behind the Internet is the operation of capital, and it is not just a cultural phenomenon. After capital is put into operation, it will engage in bottomless operations, inducing people to shop online, inducing people to chat, watch some news, and even use big data to analyze human behavior and preferences. Provide accurate push notifications to human beings, ultimately leading to consumption. Capital should stimulate human consumption behavior, and at the same time create consumption nodes so that people can spend wildly at a certain node. In addition to creating various shopping festivals, capital also turns traditional festivals into shopping festivals. It also uses hot news to stimulate people's nerves and guide people to consume. The movement of creating and destroying gods is such a hot spot, which conforms to people's cognitive rules and at the same time leads people to shopping. Many business tycoons have established themselves as god-like figures to endorse their companies, businesses or products. Whether he sells mobile phones, air conditioners, or cars, the boss has become a star-like figure, has many fans, and is worshiped like a god. They all have a strong ability to protect themselves from reporters and eliminate a lot of negative news. Even if a big boss of an Internet platform is caught soliciting prostitution in a foreign country, the negative impact can still be eliminated, the marriage will not be affected, and the career will still be prosperous. Because they want to build themselves into gods-like figures without any flaws. They even have dedicated public relations personnel in the team who can deal with all crises. To put it bluntly, it is easier to get things done if you have money, but if you don’t have money, it is easy to be exposed for negative behaviors.

There used to be Internet business tycoons who were called godfathers. They worshiped some so-called masters, especially a snake charmer. Later, something happened. Not only did the snake charmer go to jail, but also the Internet master. Internet tycoons have gone abroad to settle down, because there are a lot of negative news in the country, and with the involvement of the power system, it is not something that can be settled with money. As the saying goes, "See him building a tall building, see him entertaining guests, see him building a building collapse."

People like to watch this process. When they see others prospering like "flowers blooming and fire cooking oil", they will feel jealous, and they like to watch their careers collapse. The capital behind the media will operate, create some news hot spots, and praise some people as god-like figures. After a while, negative news about them will be exposed, attracting people's attention, and then pulling them down from the altar. Even make them notorious for eternity. Because people like it, capital must invest in it to attract huge traffic. Capital creates god-like figures. If you are a big boss and have strong financial support, you will not be disgraced or pulled down from the altar. Big bosses will even hire public relations teams to handle crisis events and directly spend money to bribe the media to smooth things over. In this way, what people see are only the positive behaviors of these big guys, which are bright and glorious, and they will always maintain their brilliance, while those who spend money to settle the problem are easily exposed to negative news, and they are not as good as ordinary people. It is called " A phoenix in distress is worse than a chicken."

This is in line with the logic of capital operation and more in line with human nature!

So Iris knows very well what will happen to Barry after his identity is revealed, but in Iris' opinion, this is better than now!

She likes superheroes, but doesn't like her brother being a superhero... which is also in line with human nature!

She just hopes that her brother can live a peaceful life. He doesn't need to be rich, just happiness is enough.

But neither Barry nor his father thought so. Although Joe said that superheroes are the enemies of the police, he never reported Barry, and even helped Barry with advice whenever he had time! To Iris, this is simply crazy!

This man and woman have always protected each other in ways that are difficult for the other to understand!
