Chapter 1869: Iron Tank Clanging (4)

"Are you a mutant?" The Superior Iron Man asked.

"I am, but not only." Shiler shook his head slightly and explained: "My mutant ability has nothing to do with my prophecy ability. Regarding this point, the leaders of the mutants have no clue."

"Have you told them?"

"My abilities have similarities with both Professor X and Magneto. I can both sense the future and manipulate molecules."

The Superior Iron Man's eyes became more and more fiery, and he said: "So you are equivalent to a combination of Professor X and Magneto?"

"But separately, they are not as powerful as the two of them." Shiler sighed and said: "I think it might be that one ability interfered with the other, causing my two abilities to not grow to the extreme."

"I heard you say to that alien prince that you came to the universe this time to find your brother?" The Superior Iron Man asked.

Shiler placed his hands on the armrests of the chair, nodded, and then continued: "He possesses the same mutant ability as me, but he cannot prophesy, and therefore is more powerful in manipulating molecules."

"I think he will be helpful to the current situation." Shiler frowned slightly, his expression solemn, and said: "Decomposing objects into molecules or reconstructing them with molecules can achieve many amazing things."

Without Shiler saying it, as a scientist, the Superior Iron Man understood better than him what molecular-level manipulation meant, but he also inferred that Shiler might have many limitations in this regard, otherwise he wouldn't need to come to him to build a cosmic propulsion engine.

Sure enough, he heard Shiler say: "I can also partially manipulate molecules, but it is limited to reorganization and repair. I cannot directly decompose objects, nor can I create things out of thin air."

The Superior Iron Man nodded. If this was the case, then this was just a useful healing technique, but if one could thoroughly decompose and reconstruct objects, it was an unimaginable powerful force. However, Shiler's prophecy ability, although more metaphysical, was more powerful to some extent.

Then the best choice was to obtain the perfect molecular manipulation ability of Shiler's brother and Shiler's prophecy ability.

The Superior Iron Man made up his mind, so he changed the subject without a trace and said: "Why did your brother run out of Earth?"

Shiler shook his head and said: "He was kidnapped by aliens. I have been looking for him for so many years."

"Obviously, your superhero friends don't approve of you doing this."

Shiler pursed his lips tightly and said: "I can understand them. There are enough uncontrolled mutants on Earth."

"Including you." The Superior Iron Man looked at Shiler seriously and said: "Their original intention is that they feel you are also uncontrollable, at least there is such a risk."

"I said, this is not unreasonable."

But the Superior Iron Man didn't want gratitude.

He knew that this step was good, but it didn't achieve the effect he wanted at all. Shiler's focus was not on his help and friendship, but only on finding his brother.

This was not good news. The Superior Iron Man knew very well that the so-called "distance cannot separate relatives." If the emotional bond between Shiler and his brother was closer, and they had reunited after a long separation, then he couldn't insert himself between them no matter how hard he tried.

In the same period of time, a person's emotional reliance could only be another person, and it was impossible to have more. If he wanted to get the powerful abilities of this pair of brothers, he had to find a way to become their only emotional reliance, rather than letting them rely on each other.

So the Superior Iron Man opened his mouth and said: "Congratulations, Dr. Shiler, but do you really want to go to Centaurus now?"

Shiler looked up at him suspiciously. The Superior Iron Man cleared his throat and said: "Having clues is a good thing, but listening to Mrs. Natchi's vague tone, you should also be able to guess that the enemy who kidnapped your brother is probably very powerful. Do you have the confidence to save him?"

Shiler revealed a hesitant look.

"And so many years have passed. If your brother is still alive, he might have already started a family on another planet. You appear so rashly, it is likely to disrupt the rhythm of his existing life, and he might not want to return to Earth."

"You also have to consider that your superhero friends might not want such a powerful mutant to return to Earth, and perhaps even the mutants themselves are the same. If there are people who don't welcome him, do you still want to start a war?"

Shiler revealed a sad and incredulous expression.

But he was actually saying in his heart: "It's here, it's here, the necessary step after showing care, pouring cold water, it's here."

Many people will feel that the so-called PUA is just constantly suppressing and denying the victim's existence value, but this is not the essence. Still the same sentence, the essence of manipulation is love.

One must first let the other party feel your love, so that suppression and denial can take advantage of the void without causing the vigilance of the person's self-protection mechanism.

After establishing a safe and warm environment for the other party, it will make people instinctively relax their protection mechanism and open their hearts.

Experimental evidence shows that people are more willing to think about things in a good direction when life is going well, and it is inevitable to look at things with a pessimistic and suspicious attitude when encountering difficulties.

So in a safe and comfortable environment, some words of suppression and denial will sound very much like sincere suggestions. Of course, denial alone is not enough. After "pouring cold water," it is followed by "I am also for your own good," and the real "Yan Kingdom Map"—"I am gentle, calm, and smart, but you are clumsy, reckless, and stupid."

"Shiler, I think we are the same kind, so I really hope I can help. I advise you not to go to Centaurus first, not because I want to separate your flesh and blood, but simply for the sake of your situation."

"Your brother has been separated from you for so many years. Even if there is still some family affection, it definitely can't compare to the friends and relatives you have been with day and night. You find him rashly now and say to him that the universe is going to be destroyed, so I come to find you for help. Doesn't this sound like utilization?"

"Your brother might not think that you have gone through all kinds of hardships to finally find him, but will only feel that you don't look for him when you don't need him, but think of him when disaster comes. Your longing and family affection for him shouldn't be misunderstood like this."

"Even if you bring him back to Earth, your superhero friends will think, we have been with you day and night for so long, but you don't listen to our opinions and insist on bringing a dangerous person back to our home. Doesn't this also destroy the friendship between you?"

"I understand that mutants themselves are not united. No matter which faction you are in, all factions have to consider the impact that your brothers joining forces might have on the current situation. If they hold grudges in the future, your situation will also be very awkward."

The Superior Iron Man walked into the room and sat on the edge of Shiler's bed side by side with him. He put a hand on Shiler's shoulder and said: "I certainly understand, you have been separated for so long and can't wait to see each other, but the future is long, and you have to plan for the future, right?"

Shiler seemed to have suddenly calmed down. He took a deep breath and let out a long sigh, turned to look at the Superior Iron Man and said: "What you said is right, I was a bit impulsive. Really thank you very much, Tony. You not only helped me find the clue to Owen, but also helped me avoid many troubles in the future."

A flash of wild joy flashed in the Superior Iron Man's eyes. This was the first time Shiler called him Tony, and perhaps he used to call his friend, the hero Iron Man, like this before. And this was the first time he revealed his brother's name, which marked that he was showing trust.

The Superior Iron Man sighed as if relieved and said: "You scared me a bit. When I saw you just now, I thought you were a gentle doctor. I didn't expect your ability to act to be stronger than an agent. Have you encountered any big trouble because of your impulsiveness all these years?"

Shiler lowered his head and smiled embarrassedly and said: "There are some troubles, but others have tolerated me."

"Then you must have a quite good circle of friends. If I were you, Dr. Shiler, you can't be so impulsive in this kind of scene. Alien races are all watching."

"Not to mention anything else, your farewell to Mrs. Natchi just now was a bit impolite. You were a bit too anxious."

It's here, it's here, it's here again, Shiler thought in his heart, finally entering the link of suppression and disintegrating self-confidence.

Thus, he cooperated quite well and opened his eyes wide, seemingly a bit unclear why the Superior Iron Man said so. The Superior Iron Man smiled and said: "This also makes me a bit difficult. After all, I invited Mrs. Natchi over. I'm afraid she won't invite me to the dance in the future."

"God, I'm really sorry." Shiler deliberately raised his tone a little, pondered the degree of emotional expression in his heart, and then said: "I don't know, I might... I might be a bit too anxious."

"It doesn't matter." The Superior Iron Man comforted him hurriedly: "She is a quite generous lady. I was just joking just now, but don't do this again. It won't be good if you are caught by some people."

Shiler nodded, making an expression of taking the Superior Iron Man's words as suggestions.

Seeing that the Superior Iron Man revealed that kind of satisfied expression that was hidden quite well, Shiler smiled in his heart.

The next morning, when the Superior Iron Man saw Shiler in the breakfast hall, he found that his face was pale and his expression was exhausted, looking like he hadn't slept all night.

Shiler walked over, revealed a bitter smile at the Superior Iron Man and said: "Sorry, I look a bit terrible. I didn't sleep all night last night, I've been thinking about what you said."

"I must thank you again, and also apologize to you. I was indeed too anxious before and didn't consider your feelings."

The Superior Iron Man felt a kind of extreme happiness explode in his brain. The wailing of the prey caught in the trap by the ankle sounded like the most wonderful fairy music. The thick smell of blood triggered more intense hunger. The Superior Iron Man almost couldn't suppress the bloodthirsty clamor in his heart. He knew that the time to close the net had come.

And Shiler's heart only had small waves. His threshold had been raised too high, and this kind of scene could no longer give him any effective stimulation. But looking at the almost uncontrollable excitement of the Superior Iron Man, he also knew that the time to close the net had come. ===== CHAPTER 1871 =====

Shiler knew that the wavering attitude he showed today had already made the Superior Iron Man taste the mental excitement brought by mental manipulation.

"No! No, Tony!"

But at this time, he still couldn't be sure, because he couldn't judge whether the decision he made was correct.

So second, until he showed his charm and instilled his concepts into Shiler, leading to Shiler's real wavering, there was another stimulation, which was that he indeed relied on his wise brain to make a correct decision, and self-affirmation would also trigger excitement.

Another significant feature of mental excitement is that it comes fast and goes fast. Once away from the stimulation source, the pleasure will soon dissipate, followed by deeper emptiness.

But narcissistic mental perverts often feel that they don't need to endure such emptiness and can completely pursue victory, continue to sing all the way, until they achieve the results they want, so they have no time to reflect or think, and will only chase and fight, and flaws will follow.

Thus, sure enough, Shiler received a call from the Superior Iron Man in the evening. He said this on the phone: "I made a friend in the banquet hall just now. He is willing to provide me with a guest identity and provide me with a place to live. I am now living in the room on the far right on the floor above you."

"He is a general manager of an interstellar logistics company and knows more about the personnel coming and going of the portals in various regions. I will make an appointment with him to the breakfast hall tomorrow morning. I think you can chat with him about your brother's affairs. What do you think?"

After giving an affirmative answer, Shiler put down the phone and revealed a big smile. The second step of showing his material value after concept instillation—it's here. ===== CHAPTER 1870 =====
