Chapter 1034 The [-]th is overwhelmed (second more)

In 1991, Tony Stark's mother, Maria, sang while playing the piano, as sunlight filtered through white sheer curtains, illuminating her tightly tied blonde bun and pearl necklace around her neck.The white-haired Howard lifted the blanket covering the sofa, revealing Tony Stark under the blanket.Maria stopped her fingers and looked at them with a smile on her face.Howard Stark asked Tony to come back from MIT in order to let him look after the house.He actually loves the job, but only if his parents stay home or he doesn't know what's going to happen next.

"Who is this homeless man on the sofa?" Howard Stark teased.Tony sat up on the couch and put his Santa hat back on his head, his way of being festive, but it looked awful.

"That's why I'm home for Christmas, because you're not home during that time."

"Be nicer, dear." Facing her son's retort, Maria scolded.But then she turned her head to look at Howard again, "He has been studying abroad, and he only came back once."

Howard Stark just raised his eyebrows, unmoved by it. "You've got to do me a favor." He tossed the Santa hat on the couch. "Try not to burn the house down before Monday."

Tony Stark nodded with mock seriousness, and stood up. "Okay, Monday huh. I see, I'll adjust my poker party plans accordingly. Where are you guys going?"

"Your father is taking me on vacation to the Bahamas," Maria said.

"We might have to go somewhere first," Howard added.

"The Pentagon?" Tony couldn't help asking, he couldn't help making fun of Howard's secret military business.He leaned over to his mother and said, "Don't worry, you're going to love the cafeteria festive menu there."

The joke didn't make Howard Stark laugh, however.Tony could feel the conflicted emotion in his eyes, a mixture of love, hate, and frustration. "You know, it's said that irony is the measure of potential," Howard said.Tony turned and walked across the room. "If this is true, you will be a great man in the future." Howard waited for Tony to talk back again, but his plan fell through.He turned to Maria and said, "I'll get the bag."

"He really missed you when you were gone." Maria said to Tony, who was leaning on the door frame.She kept her voice low, as if she didn't want to embarrass the two men in the family. "Honestly, you're going to miss us because it's the last time we're together. You know what's coming. Say something, and you'll regret it if you don't."

Her words seemed to shake up the emotions accumulated over the years.Tony turned to his father and said the words that he could never bring himself to say in real life. "I love you, Dad. I know you tried your best."

Dressed in a suit, Salomon stood in the back row of the auditorium, with his arms folded, watching the current Tony Stark appear in the holographic projection. He has been watching his past self and his parents who have been dead for many years. "That's what I'm hoping for," he said, "restructuring through binary regression, 'dual structure' for short—I'll have to work on that acronym—to control the hippocampus, to clear traumatic memories. It's a kind of An extremely expensive method." Tony Stark leaned against the piano, causing the hologram to ripple and shrink into pixelated puzzle pieces. The living room scene in 1991 faded away, and he stood on the stage of the MIT auditorium.There is only a small white room and a piano on the stage, which is prepared to simulate a certain sense of reality.The scene he presented to the audience is embarrassing, but it is not what actually happened. "It doesn't change the fact that they didn't make it to the airport, or my efforts to alleviate my grief."

Salomon walked around the auditorium and walked backstage.

He watches Tony Stark bypass professors who babble and try to beg for funding with stupid ideas, and an assistant who apologizes for a teleprompter error.He watched Tony Stark go in and out of the bathroom, walking dejectedly to the elevator.Although he really wanted to go up and chat now, Tony Stark still had a conversation partner waiting for him—that was a black middle-aged woman.Tony Stark's first reaction was that it was his fans, and his admirers could always appear in places he didn't expect.

"It's amazing what you've done for those young people," she said.

"That's what they deserve." Tony Stark said sincerely, "Of course, it can also make my conscience feel better."

"It's been said that generosity and guilt are related. But do you think you can do whatever you want and make mistakes when you have money?"

Tony Stark was at a loss for words, he pressed the call button on the elevator. "Are you going up?"

"I'll stay here." The middle-aged woman said and opened her wallet.Tony immediately became alert, stepped forward and grabbed her wrist tightly.She didn't break free, but looked directly into Tony's eyes calmly, and the look sent a chill down Tony's spine.He could only apologize and take a step back, explaining that it was an occupational disease.This is indeed true, since joining the Avengers, he has learned a lot of terrible things, not to mention there is... There is a weirder world.

Salomon was photographed looking at Tony Stark's chest.

It was a question from a bereaved mother, and he shouldn't have bothered anyway.

"His name is Charlie Spencer," she said. "He was killed by you in Sokovia. It doesn't matter to you, because you think you are fighting with us, but you are just Fighting for myself. Who's going to avenge my son, Stark? He's dead, and it's all your fault." She turned and walked away, where Tony Stark was standing with a picture of Charlie Spencer.Rarely in his life has he been left speechless and this is one of the few times because no matter how much he argues, Charlie Spencer's mother is right, the Avengers killed over him.

"Life is a number." Tony Stark didn't notice Salomon standing against the wall until he spoke.The mystic's posture was quite relaxed, he lit a cigarette for himself, and let out a long breath.However, Stark was taken aback, and he subconsciously pressed his finger on his watch.This is a special watch that allows him to have defense in case of emergency.It's just that Salomon didn't care about his small movements, because everything here couldn't pose a threat to him. "From a macro point of view, life is a number, but it is an extremely heavy number." He emphasized again, "From an emotional point of view, I support her statement. But from a rational point of view, I must abandon this. kind of weakness."

"Why are you here!" Tony Stark asked aggressively.

Salomon did not answer this question, but continued to talk to himself. "Think about it. At that time, the Avengers faced two choices. One was to allow Ultron's actions, let it smash Sokovia down, trigger a major earthquake and volcanic eruption in Europe, and kill more than a billion people. People who are saved will also die tragically; the second is to try our best to stop it and save lives, no matter how many people are saved." He said, "If you don't see that this incident is caused by you, billions and thousands are A simple math question. Are you qualified to give up their lives on behalf of those billions of people? Or do the dead have no human rights? Who denied their right to live?"

"Why did you do this?" Tony Stark quickly approached Salomon, "You started a war, you killed innocent people, and you even wanted to drop a nuclear bomb! I don't know why you did this, but you Now a butcher! Where's the Salomon I know, where's the kind, funny teenage Salomon!"

"I ask you, are you qualified to lay down your life on behalf of those billions? The answer is obvious, and that's why I'm doing it, Tony Stark. The question I have is 35 billion and millions , can I give up their lives on behalf of 35 billion people because I won't give up those millions?"

There was no expression on Salomon's face, "I have also thought about whether to wait until the alien fleet begins to invade, wait until the infrastructure and organizational structure of human society are broken up, and then stand up and lead mankind to resist the aliens. Fleet of the solar system. If I do this at that time, the problems I face will be reduced to one percent of what they are today, because by then there will be no forces on Earth that can fight against the organization I secretly cultivated. Survivors who are independent will Annexed by a powerful army, transformed into a part of the organization and continue to fight, my voice can be unimpeded on the earth. Just don't tell others the secrets of the alien fleet, but continue to gather resources, and I can wait until I grab the supremacy day. Guess why I didn’t do it?”
