The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

Then Eddie saw Schiller put four fingers inside four small umbrellas and began to move the origami toy continuously.

Looking at the shape of this origami toy, Eddie paused, then suddenly realized, and said to Venom in his heart:

Do you still remember that I asked you before about why the psychiatrist hired by SHIELD had to hold an umbrella even if it wasn't raining?

Venom recalled for a moment, and then said: Isn't that because SHIELD's smoke alarms often malfunction?

Eddie touched his chin and said, Maybe there is a certain reason...

But before, in special children's educational institutions, their teachers told me that when faced with autistic children whose sensory integration training was not very effective, they would often adopt a special method to help him establish spiritual support, that is, Give him a familiar object.

I don't know the specific principle, but it seems to mean that autistic children can build their sense of security on a certain object. As long as he gets this object, he can feel his mind relaxed and reduce the probability of him losing control.

A series of experiments have proven that when holding familiar objects, these children's communication efficiency with teachers and emotional expression efficiency are improved.

As long as he is trained and treated while holding familiar items, the effect will be doubled. When he gradually comes out of the autistic world, he will be able to gradually get rid of his dependence on items and return to normal. In life.”

As an excellent reporter, Eddie actually has a very strong memory. He frowned and repeated what the teacher said to him at that time:

... What is very amazing is that these ignorant children, who are like children who are not in the same world as us, often knock on the door of this world, as if they are asking for help from us.

There are many children who find familiar objects on their own, which is like opening a door for us to get in touch with them.

They reached out to us, and what we have to do is hold their hands and lead them to a new and wonderful world.

Venom also fell silent, and it seemed that the emotional part he inherited from other hosts began to work. He said:

Maybe this is really the case? Maybe they really have a world that we don't know about. In that world, they are normal people and live their own lives...

And one day, they came across a door, so they knocked on the door out of curiosity and met us...

Eddie looked at the origami toy in Schiller's hand and said:

Umbrellas are Schiller's familiar objects. No, maybe this thing is. Umbrellas just kind of resemble it.

Eddie came closer, observed the origami toy and said: I have never seen this method of origami. When I was a child, my father would teach me to fold rabbits or frogs, but the ones that folded the most were paper airplanes. We would compete with each other. Throw it farther.”

Eddie stared at Schiller's regular movements and said: The mobility of this origami toy is obviously much higher than that of a frog or a rabbit, and its gameplay is also very strange, and it looks very regular.

I remember that the teacher at the special school told me that repetitive and regular exercise would be more popular with autistic children.

The most common exercise that teachers lead these children to do is step and squat, which means taking a step, squatting, taking another step, squatting again...

Not only can some children persist in walking around the playground, but the length of each step is exactly the same. They are extremely talented...

Eddie looked up at Schiller again and said, ...he is the same.

Then what should we do? Just watch him play here?... Hey, I said, why don't you find a piece of paper, I think this thing is quite fun. Venom said in Eddie's mind.

Stop making trouble, we have to think about how to help Dr. Schiller now. I heard he is a very good doctor...

Schiller stood there, constantly opening and closing the east, west, south and north with his hands. Although he stood motionless, what could be observed was that the trembling of his arms had reduced and his breathing rate had recovered slightly.

As a reporter, Eddie has very strong observation skills and can keenly feel the changes in the emotions of the people being interviewed, and then adopt different strategies to force him to get the answers he wants.

Finding that Schiller's condition had improved, Eddie did not touch the toy in his hand. Instead, he stretched out a hand to grab the corner of Schiller's clothes and slowly led him forward. As he walked, he said: Yes. , come here, Schiller, come here...go this way...

Schiller's attention was only focused on the origami toys, and he followed Eddie to the sofa and sat down.

Then, Schiller played with origami toys there for three hours. Looking over his figure, he saw Eddie walking over with a dirty laundry basket and packing clothes, and then Venom walked over pushing a mop. , one moment it was Venom dragging Eddie's neck over with mucus, and the other moment Eddie was dragging a large ball of mucus over.

After nightfall, the room seemed quieter. Schiller's movements became slower. He began to touch his eyes frequently and inhale constantly.

After finishing his housework, Eddie walked over to the sofa and sat down, and then said, Are you hungry? I ordered a takeaway...

Just as he said this, the doorbell rang. When the ding-dong sound came, Eddie could clearly feel Schiller trembling.

He immediately stretched out his hand to comfort Schiller, then walked slowly, sideways to the door, and went to get the takeaway.

It was then that Schiller began to disassemble the origami toys until they were reduced to a candy wrapper, which he placed in his pants pocket.

During the meal, Schiller seemed to have suddenly returned to normal. He looked at Edwin: Why didn't you move back to Manhattan? If you still stay here, you shouldn't be short of money, right?

Eddie said as he opened his portion of Chinese fried noodles: I resigned, and I don't plan to do the job of editor-in-chief anymore.

Why? Schiller asked.

Indeed, being an editor-in-chief is quite easy, the salary is high, and there are no performance requirements. Eddie shook his head and said, But that's not what I want to do.

When I was studying, I dreamed of becoming the best reporter in the world. However, when I entered the workplace, I realized that journalists are not messengers of justice who expose evil. They are nothing without breaking points and achievements.

Eddie ate the noodles and said vaguely: On my way to becoming a famous reporter, I did a lot of unscrupulous things.

I admit it. I did this just to make money, and I also admit that I made a lot of dirty money. But later, when I faced the case of the Life Foundation, I realized that there was some money that I still couldn't earn.

I didn't expect that my sudden enthusiasm would change my life. I met this black parasite and many interesting people...

Eddie's body suddenly trembled, and it seemed that Venom was fighting with him for control of his body.

I changed to a more leisurely job and saved a lot of money. I even saved a down payment for a house in New York because of my support for certain industries.

But the case of the Life Foundation made me realize one thing... Eddie wiped his mouth, took a sip of wine, and then said: I don't know if you still remember. At that time, the Life Foundation I will catch homeless people and do experiments...

What makes me very puzzled is that this matter didn't become a big deal? With so many missing people, not many people noticed that they were missing?!

Eddie shook his head, as if helpless, and said: No newspapers pay attention to this matter, because these homeless people have nothing to photograph. Everyone knows what these neighborhoods look like. People in other neighborhoods see it. I will only feel unlucky...

At that time, I had to move here because I had no money, but after living here for a while, I found that the news here was also quite interesting.

There are no superheroes coming and going, there are no grand and dreamy technological developments, there are just a bunch of common people like me here.

Eddie took a sip of cold beer, and then said: Because I still have a lot of savings in my hand, I quit my job as editor-in-chief and started digging for news about these poor communities here.

Eddie showed a wry smile and said: I feel that unless I open a TV station of my own, no one will be willing to accept these news. Just think of it as me having some fun for myself.

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized. Schiller had finished the remaining two bottles of cold beer. Eddie shrugged and said, Okay, doctor. I didn't expect you to be such a drinker, but I didn't order too much wine. The wine in the Chinese restaurant was too It’s too expensive and not worth it at all.”

After finishing speaking, Eddie began to clear away the takeout boxes on the table. While doing so, he talked about the situation here. He said: Although I occasionally liked to eat Chinese food in the past, it was always at high-end restaurants, almost never I don’t know how to eat fried rice or noodles.”

However, here, the cheap food in Chinese restaurants is widely welcomed, because only the owners of this group of restaurants dare to deliver food to poor communities after nine o'clock, and are not afraid of those hidden gentlemen wandering the streets who may lose control at any time. And gangs who may be breaking into houses... they want money rather than lives.”

In addition, although their drinks are a bit more expensive, the staple food is large and filling, and the taste is good, and the food without cheese tastes pretty good even if it is cold. If the pizza is at this temperature, there is no way have eaten.

Eddie took out the toothpick, shaved his teeth, then skillfully stacked the take-out boxes together, stuffed them into the bag, tied them in a tight knot, and placed them on the table by the door.

How long can I live here? Schiller asked.

You can stay as long as you want. Eddie said completely nonchalantly: Anyway, you are much better than Thor. When Thor lived next door to me, Venom shouted that he was allergic every day, but here you are, Venom Much quieter.”

As soon as he said this, Eddie heard his door being knocked bang bang bang. He immediately showed a vigilant look, walked to the door, and took out a handle in the corner of the shoe cabinet. Gun, leaned sideways against the door, and looked through the peephole.

Seeing the face in the cat's eyes, he was stunned for a moment, then put away his pistol, opened the door, looked at the blond man outside the door and said, Thor, why are you here?

Thor outside the door was wearing human clothes, wearing a watch, and even carrying a few gift bags. He rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said, Um...Eddie, long time no see, that's... …Can I stay with you for a while?”

Before Eddie could speak, venom rushed out of his body first, and a black head poked out from Eddie's back, grinning widely, and said to Thor: Go away! Retarded people are not welcome here!

Unexpectedly, Thor seemed to have anticipated such a situation, raised the gift bag in his hand and said, Really? If I leave, this specialty dessert from Asgard will be I can only take it back and share it with the goddesses.

Venom's head slowly poked out again, staring at the bag and said, Asgard also has specialty desserts? Don't you only have steaks and grilled fish?

Tuo Leng snorted and said, Narrow-minded! Too narrow-minded!

Asgard has a long history, how come it doesn't have unique desserts?...Okay, don't look at me like that. It's a Norwegian specialty, apple pie and syrup biscuits. I just flew to Norway to buy them. If you don't Eat, and I’ll leave.”

Thor turned around and wanted to leave. The next second, black mucus surged out and swallowed all the gift bags in one gulp. Thor and Eddie exclaimed at the same time, and Venom burped and said:

It tastes good...come in.
