Chapter 46 For the future
Howard Stark's tone was calm, but his face was a little sallow, anxious and uneasy, his eyes were a little distracted, and he looked unbearable.
"First tell me, Howard, how much do you believe?" Zhang Haoxuan asked this first, and then added: "I hope to hear your truth."
The man behind the desk was silent, then smiled bitterly: "It's about 70%.
He waved his hand very irritably again: "What do you want me to do? Believe in yourself as a movie character? Believe in our careers just a movie story? It's a hell!"
Zhang Haoxuan frowned slightly, and it was difficult to speak for a while. This situation was normal. Every time he entered, he faced a brand new character. Their reaction to the truth of the world would not be completely consistent in the same time period, let alone different time periods.
This is another reason why Zhang Haoxuan did not expect Howard during the Invisible Expo. If he still went to the secret office of the Super Soldier to meet and communicate with each other, he would basically predict what kind of reaction the other party would have.
After all, Zhang Haoxuan has repeated it countless times and is very clear about how Howard would have reacted at that time. What's more, Howard himself has also helped him analyze it. Even if an unexpected situation occurs, it will not deviate from the prediction.
However, even if there are different reactions at different times, the character's personality will not deviate from the settings too much, and there are still traces to follow.
As the father of Tony Stark, the most popular character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Howard Stark's own template is taken from Howard Hughes in reality. Although he encountered such an impact, he finally calmed down after complaining.
"What is your purpose for you to come to see me and talk to me privately?" He asked seriously at Zhang Haoxuan.
"I'm here to ask for help." Zhang Haoxuan replied seriously, without any arrogantness. Even if he had been traveling for a long time, he would not treat them as human beings, but his rationality was still there and he would never be vague when it was time to ask for help.
What's more, after Matilda, he has been slowly changing, and Howard is basically the role he can talk about in the movie world.
"You have seen clips about you and countless other introductions from you. You should know that once I leave the movie world and do not interfere anymore, everything will be restored to the original, right?" Zhang Haoxuan asked without waiting for Howard to continue speaking.
"Yes." Howard sighed, with dissatisfaction and depression on his face.
"I can't take anyone out of the movie world, either," Zhang Haoxuan continued, and then pointed at Matilda and Amidala, "but, now it's unexpected."
"Hi, Howard, we've seen it before." Matilda waved his hand with a smile, while Amidala had a tense face without expression.
"Sorry, this lady, I have never seen you." Howard also smiled. This guy was always very graceful in front of women.
"At the beginning, I just brought Matilda out," Zhang Haoxuan pointed at Matilda first, then pointed at Amidala, "Later, for some reasons, I brought Padme out again. Can you see something?"
Hearing this, Howard focused his attention and asked Matilda and Amidala to look at it, and then he looked at it twice, and both looked surprised.
"They...they..." Howard's tongue seemed to be tied, and he didn't come out for a long time. He looked annoyed. He probably had words in his mind, but he just couldn't come out.
"They come from different movies, but the actors are the same person." Zhang Haoxuan said it for him.
Howard immediately took a cold breath: "shit!"
Of course this is not a swear word, it is just a verbal obsession with excitement. If he had watched so many videos before and believed him by 70%, then it has now risen to 80%.
You know, Matilda and Amidala's faces are basically the same mold. Their ages are not much different, and there has not been much change. However, Amidala is obviously half a head taller than Matilda, and I have never heard of any twins being so different in size.
"If you want, I can show you their movie." Zhang Haoxuan said again at this time, "But Matilda's didn't bring it, only Padme's."
"Wait...wait!" Howard raised his hands and took a deep breath, "Just say it straight, come and find me, what do you need me to do?"
"Help me advise and analyze, and find ways to find the rules to pull the characters out of the movie," Zhang Haoxuan walked to his desk and looked at him and said.
"Why are you looking for me?" Howard asked with a frown.
"It should have been said in the video that I can only ask you, the genius characters set in the movie to discuss these issues, so that you can have creative thinking. The scientists in biographical movies are basically limited to the theories they published in reality and cannot innovate." Zhang Haoxuan spread his hands and said the words he had last seen him again.
"This is ridiculous. First of all, I am an engineer, not a physicist; secondly, it is impossible for the so-called observer effect to cause the collapse of the movie world, and this theory is not scientific at all." Howard shook his head.
"I know, you have said this countless times," Zhang Haoxuan didn't care, "but the Marvel movie world itself is not very scientific, so don't worry about it. In any case, it's always right to constantly find and summarize the rules."
After pausing, he slowly said: "Just like before, we keep analyzing and trying constantly. As long as we are patient, we will definitely find the rules, and we have enough time, no matter you and me."
"I just can't remember." Soon, Howard said, and he put his hands in front of him, looking at him without blinking, "I want to ask a philosophical question, Zhang-Can I call you that?"
After receiving a positive answer, Howard took a deep breath: "Are you me every time you see me?"
"I don't know," Zhang Haoxuan was silent for two seconds and glanced at Matilda. "This kind of philosophical problem is unsolvable, just like a virtual space that cannot be verified or falsified."
"Well, then the second question," Howard didn't chase after him, "what is your purpose, and what can we get?"
This time, Zhang Haoxuan was silent for a long time, looked at Matilda again, and the other party gave him an encouragement smile. Then he turned his eyes to Amidala's face. Queen Nab was still a little nervous, but also squeezed out a smile.
"Frankly speaking, I don't know, or I'm not sure before this moment." He said, "I don't really want to come to you. After experiencing too many failures, I think it's okay to live quietly through time."
Howard looked at Matilda and Amidala like he did, without saying a word, and made a gesture of continuing.
"But now I understand that I still need a... a stable world that will not restart, and I still need an unknown future," Zhang Haoxuan said softly, "instead of seeing the future at the end at a glance."
After using Amidala for the test, Zhang Haoxuan's mentality returned to the time when he accidentally brought Matilda out, and took her to travel through the peaceful movie world, doing all kinds of things he wanted to do, and then continued like this.
But Matilda has always hoped that he could talk to Howard in Captain America and ask why he brought Amidala out too?
Zhang Haoxuan would not refuse her request, so he came here. He was just going to deal with it, but when Howard asked him about his purpose and asked him "What can they get?" something suddenly came to his face.
He knew that Matilda wanted him to talk to Howard, but out of intuition, he thought that it would make him normal. He also knew that what he had done to Amidala before he brought Amidala out, and Matilda might have guessed a little bit, after all, she was so smart.
He knew all of these, just like she knew his mind, after experiencing so many things, the two people's hearts were connected. Therefore, he could not lose her, in any sense.
Although they still have a lot to do and a lot to explore, if they cannot change the current situation, the future will be destined. No matter how large a glass of water is, it will take a day to drink it. Then, where will they go?
Even now, the problems that need to be solved, such as safety. In any case, Zhang Haoxuan doesn't want to see the scene where Matilda rides on her body that day and speaks softly.
If he can really find the rules and bring out other roles, he can do the experiments to the fullest so that after summarizing the rules, he can use the safest way to make Matilda have the power to protect himself.
As the girl said at that time, if you can take it out once, you can take it out the second time. As long as you understand the rules and find the rules, you should meet them instead of choosing to escape.
"Before this, I made promises to you and those who helped me, but after being disappointed again and again, I broke my promise." Zhang Haoxuan continued, with indescribable calmness, "But now, I see hope and hope for change, so I promise you again."
He looked at Howard Stark without blinking: "One day, I will stabilize your world, no longer reincarnate, no longer forget, no longer repeat, as a real world, keep moving forward and have your own future!"
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became heavy. Although Howard put down his hands, his brows frowned slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Matilda sat quietly on the chair, looking at Zhang Haoxuan with a smile, and Amidala sat next to him with her lips pursed, with a complicated expression.
