"Long time no see, my old friend." Dum appeared in Dr. Reed's laboratory in a well-dressed and elegant manner. Reid, who was experimenting with a new potion, was startled.
Susan, who was helping him, looked at Dum in disbelief when she heard the voice. Then, she said in an even more incredulous voice, "Dum? Is that you? "
Dum bowed slightly. "Yes, that's right, Susan. It's me, your old friend, Dum. "
Susan's mouth opened wide, and Reid stopped what he was doing. He looked at the handsome face in front of him, and it overlapped with the face in his memory. Yes, this was his university classmate, Dum, whom he had always disliked.
But wasn't his face disfigured? Reid still remembered the experiment. It could be said that the experiment had completely destroyed Dum's proud and handsome face. And now, Dum had recovered?
Reid looked at Dum in disbelief, and the surprise in his voice was no less than Susan's. "Dum, but, but your face?"
Li Jie followed Dum here because he was afraid that Dum would be provoked and kill Reid. Because Reid was still very important. Therefore, Li Jie had been secretly on guard, afraid that Dum would hurt Reid.
Dum smiled evilly. (Li Jie: Well, at least I think he's smiling evilly.) Then he said, "Are you surprised? Actually, I … "
But before Dum could finish his sentence, Dr. Reed and Susan rushed up excitedly and grabbed Dum's shoulders from both sides. This made Dum swallow his words. He didn't know what was going on all of a sudden.
Did Reid think that he had been exposed, so he wanted to attack him? And Susan was actually the mastermind behind the whole thing? She already knew that everything that happened many years ago wasn't an accident?
So now she wanted to help Reid get rid of him? Du Mu's heart went through a thousand changes in an instant. There was anger and sighing.
But these two people think too highly of me. Although I, Dum, am not wearing the Armor of Destruction, it doesn't mean I don't have the ability to resist. But it doesn't mean I don't have the ability to resist. I'm now a Mage who can fight head-on!
Dum felt that it was time to show off his magic power. Meanwhile, Li Jie, who was watching from the sidelines, didn't know what was going on.
Just as Doom was about to cast his spell, Dr. Reed suddenly exclaimed, "You've recovered your appearance? That's great! That's great! "
His tone was not fake at all. Instead, he sounded like a person who cared about his old classmate and friend.
Susan also looked at Dum with tears in her eyes. She said emotionally, "Dum, you're amazing. I'm really excited to have you appear in front of us like this today. It's really amazing. "
Huh? What was going on? Not to mention Li Jie, even Dum himself was confused.
"You know what? In fact, the two of us have been trying to find a way to cure your appearance all these years. We've made some progress, but it's not enough, "Reid said as he patted Dum's shoulder.
"I'm able to see you recover today. As an old classmate, this is my happiest moment. "
The way things were unfolding was completely different from what Dum had expected. However, he still found something suspicious in Reid's words.
He asked suspiciously, "Help me recover my appearance? Why? "Was it because he felt guilty for tampering with the experiment?
Reid looked at Dum and said seriously, "I was a terrible person when I was young. You know, a terrible person. You and I didn't get along. We competed against each other in school. "
"From academic results to social practice, and even my pursuit of Susan," Reid said calmly, "I hated you back then. I hated you very much. I even gloated a little when you were completely disfigured by the accident in the experiment. "
"I think it's God's revenge and punishment for ruining my ecosphere plan. God knows how crazy I was back then. Now that I think about it, you were right to ruin my ecosphere plan. I did think too highly of myself and got carried away, "Reid said, reminiscing.
His frankness confused Dum. Did the accident have anything to do with him?
"Now I know a lot and understand a lot of things. I also understand that my competition with you back then didn't have much meaning, "Reid said magnanimously. At the same time, Susan walked to Reid's side and said to Dum, "Yes, Dum. We've wanted to see you all these years, but we were afraid of reminding you of the past and that terrible accident. We were afraid that it would leave a shadow on you. "
"You want to see me?" Dum was getting more and more confused. He prided himself on being one of the few intelligent people in the world, but the current situation was really not something that he could understand.
"Why do you want to see me?" Dum asked. Li Jie, who was watching from the sidelines, also wanted to know. Because what happened at the scene was beyond his understanding.
"It's a long story. But may I say that you were, in fact, my model for a time? "said Dr. Reed, which astonished Doom even more.
"My life wasn't very successful, you know. I was determined to win the Nobel Prize for the biosphere project, but you blew it up. After that, I participated in a lot of research and made money, but because of the failure of my investment, I lost everything. "
Li Jie knew the story of Reid's investment failure. This genius scientist first invested in Lehman Brothers, and then Lehman Brothers went bankrupt, which triggered the Wall Street crisis. The sub-prime mortgage crisis affected the entire world.
After climbing out of the swamp of debt, he invested in Enron, which was one of the top ten investment banks in America. This investment didn't bring him a single cent of profit, and instead, he owed millions of dollars in debt. It could be said that the two bankruptcies had a huge impact on Reid's life.
"To be honest, that was the darkest period of my life. I even thought of using all kinds of illegal means to seek profits to repay my debts. Fortunately, Susan stopped me. "Reid patted Susan's hand, who was standing beside him.
"She was always encouraging me in my ear. Whenever I couldn't hold on, she would remind me. [Are you tired? But can you be more tired than Dum? His face was ruined, but he was still strong, and even unified Latvia.]
"[Others say he is a tyrant and a dictator, but we all know what kind of person Dum is. In his hands, Latvia is at least much better than when Eastern Europe was divided. I believe that he will be able to bring convenience to his people, and he will be better than most rulers. "
"[Look at Dum. Look at yourself. You have been comparing yourself to Dum since school. Du Mu was now the ruler of a country, and he had accomplished all of this with an injured body. You are just bankrupt, simple bankruptcy. Can the difficulties you face be more difficult than Dum unifying Latvia from scratch? Even today, Latvia is a regional power that can't be ignored in Eastern Europe. Do you want to lose to Dum? Show me your backbone, Richards!] "
"[Do you think you can't compare to Dum, or do you think you will lose to a seriously injured person? You are much luckier than Dum. At least I am still by your side. If you are a man, stand up! You have the ability! Or did I choose the wrong person back then? I should be with Dum instead of you?]
The doctor imitated Susan's tone as he said these words. Susan hid her head behind Dr. Reed with some embarrassment.
"Whenever Susan says these words, there is always a kind of hot blood surging in my heart. I have actually always regarded you as a competitor. I was, and I am now. But the meaning of competition now is different from before. "Dr. Reed looked at Dum and said seriously.
"Now you have become a role model for me to remind myself more often than not. Although sometimes you are indeed crazy. But I have always admired your persistence and hard work. This is spurring me to keep moving forward and find ways to make myself better and better. "
On the other side, Dum was completely dumbfounded. What? I have become Reed's role model for everything I have done? Inspired him to walk out of the dark valley? Wait! Everything should not have unfolded like this!
Looking at the completely dumbfounded Dum, Nightcrawler Li Jie stood in the corner and tried to hold back his laughter. Dum dressed up so coquettishly today and made so many preparations, he definitely did not expect to encounter this kind of thing.
I can't laugh, I can't laugh. If I laugh, Dum will definitely find trouble with me. Hold it, hold it. Pfft. In the end, Li Jie couldn't hold back his laughter, but he quickly suppressed the [Ha ha ha] that followed.
