Chapter 1153 (1/2)
Can insects dream?
We know it will. The man we know, Hank PIM, he will.
In his most common dreams, he and his girlfriend toured the Danube River, walked through Budapest's most famous residential areas and strolled through the antique streets.
To be sure, it wasn't his girlfriend, but his fiancee. They were supposed to get married after the trip.
While he was still thinking about which way to get back to their hotel as soon as possible, the screeching noise of a black car's tires scraping the ground sounded in his ear.
”No one can escape!”
Almost as the car passed by, the man leaning out of the window said, and the masked man took out his submachine gun.
It was a dream. PIM couldn't do anything. He could only see his fiancee standing in front of him and being swept to the ground in the rain of bullets.
When the vehicle left at a high speed and he was holding his fiancee and crying, there was an explosion in Budapest, and the logistic and Hydra agents rushed towards the explosion like moths to the fire.
Everyone passed by his side, but no one looked at him. He seemed to be abandoned by the world.
He woke up, sweating as usual, and though it was midnight, he couldn't sleep any more. Watching one's lover die in his arms is something that human beings can't forget.
The nightmare kept repeating itself in his mind.
Although things have been going on for many years, he can see the phantom of his girlfriend. She is here, talking to him and playing games with him.
As a scientist, he knew that he had some mental problems. He also talked to a psychiatrist in the aegis Bureau. However, compared with the general PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) therapy, it was useless.
The shadow of his girlfriend is always with him, making him sink into the whirlpool of happiness and sorrow.
Reason knows this is not right, but emotionally it is like addiction, even if he knows that his girlfriend has already left, he can not let go.
So after being awakened by the nightmare again, he went underground as usual, went into his basement, put on the special red uniform and the silver helmet like an astronaut.
He came to his backyard, then pressed the red button on his palm, and his whole person became smaller than an ant in an instant.
Yes, he can only get rid of those illusions in the past in such a way, because he is smaller, the soul of his girlfriend can not see him.
Through the lawn like a virgin forest, I know clearly that the grass mowed by genius is like a towering tree to him now, and the unformed dew on the grass leaves will be able to wash him out for a long time.
But his goal is not here. He sends out invisible commands through a hormone transmitter in his helmet.
Soon, a big red ant showed his head from behind the grass roots. His red glasses looked at him, and then rubbed him with his tentacles.
He climbed up the ant's back and let the elephant like insect carry him to the ant hole.
The ants there are his friends. He still has human power after he becomes an ant, so he helps them carry food, resist the enemy, and really leads an ant like life.
Ant hole is his refuge, to help him away from the cruel reality, because the ants are very simple, and when they are together, they will not think of the sad past.
But evasion is only temporary. Today in 1980, he is in his thirties and works in the aegis Bureau.
He had to work to maintain his scientific research and his secret life. He had been a volunteer policeman for several years as an ant man, but no one had ever said that it would cost so much money to be a volunteer policeman.
While playing with ants, he was thinking about many things. At least, he didn't have to go to work today, because there was an annual meeting of physicists in Arizona. He needed to give a speech at the meeting. Howard said that he could take him by private plane.
