Remember this sentence on summer nights: It is easy to obtain the truth but difficult to keep it!
Before traveling through time, as a veteran otaku, Xia Zhiye was familiar with all kinds of online novels, and he couldn't remember where he had seen such a sentence.
But at this moment, it seems very appropriate to put it here.
It is easy to obtain the Tao... but difficult to keep it!
In this world, the environment in which people live allows each of us born as a human being to know what is good and evil, and what is right and wrong.
But does knowing what is kind mean that you can actually be kind
If you have done something kind, can you be sure that you will be kind for the rest of your life
This is difficult!
What’s even more terrifying is that when a person has been kind all his life, when he gets old, he inadvertently does a bad thing, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and then all his kindness in his lifetime is wiped out, and he becomes a complete bad person.
People often say that his past kindness and goodness were all disguised, and that he is real now, and that he is a bad person at heart.
Very harsh!
But this world is often very tolerant of bad people.
A man did countless bad things in his life, including murder and arson, but in the end, he did one good thing.
Then people said that he was kind by nature and everything that happened in the past was just helplessness!
Ridiculous!
But that’s the way the world is!
So, in this world, there are many people who would rather be a bad person than a good person.
But for Xia Zhiye, what he does is not the most important thing; what is the most important thing is how to keep it.
He discovered that everything he had been doing since he traveled through time was actually about protecting.
He guards the position, he guards peace, he guards Li Xiaomi, he guards the earth, he guards the universe, he guards the Super Hero League!
This is what he wants to do, simple and pure.
Perhaps the only thing that Hydra and he have in common is the word "pure".
They just want to dominate the world!
There are no infiltrates from other countries, agencies, or agents, because they cannot find them, so this organization has always been so pure... They purely and persistently hope to dominate the world.
Then, this purity can last for a long time.
So after thinking about this, Xia Zhiye smiled: "Perhaps, we can persist for a very long time and not change our original intention."
"As long as you're alive." Tony nodded.
Xia Zhiye smiled and said, "As long as I'm still alive."
"Besides, I think you can live a long time." Tony looked at Xia Zhiye: "In fact, sometimes I really want to study your physiological structure."
“… Stop it, this is your aunt’s job.” Xia Zhiye said.
"… I'm not kidding you." Tony rolled his eyes. "As a human being, how did you get to this point? I feel that even if a god of war with a big hammer fights you barehanded, he probably won't be your opponent, right?"
"To be precise, right now, even if he holds Thor's hammer, he is no match for me."
Xia Zhiye smiled and said, "But I don't recommend you to study me. My existence is not replicable and there is no possibility of learning from it."
Tony shrugged his shoulders. "I was just saying it casually. I'd be crazy to study a man's anatomy."
"The key issue is that you are very unfilial." Xia Zhiye emphasized.
Tony was stunned for a moment, then he took a sip of wine in silence, nodded and said, "I know, I'm very rebellious, and I gave him a lot of trouble."
Xia Zhiye was stunned, and then fell silent.
One name after another rushed into his mind, and then he suddenly realized that everything nowadays might just be a continuation of seventy years ago.
Sharon, Tony... Carter, Howard...
Figures were intertwined, and he seemed to have stepped onto that battlefield again and entered that war.
There was the roar of war in my ears, blood and flesh were intertwined in front of my eyes, and countless sounds intertwined to form a march of death. Everything was happening right before my eyes...
He closed his eyes and suddenly sighed deeply: "Tony... about your father's death..."
Tony looked at Xia Zhiye: "Huh?"
Xia Zhiye was silent for a while, then said, "Actually, there are some things I have been silent about for a long time, but I don't know how to tell you."
"Etc., etc… "
Tony waved his hand and said, "Stop first and let me calm down!"
He quickly took a sip of wine, then stared at Xia Zhiye: "You are not going to tell me that you killed my father? I tell you, this joke is not funny! Besides, weren't you asleep at the time? How could you jump out and kill someone? Did you wake yourself up because you had to pee in the middle of your sleep, and then decided to go out and kill someone and then go back to sleep?"
Xia Zhiye just looked at Tony with a helpless expression.
What the hell is this mess
Are your skills in complaining becoming weaker and weaker
Why did Tony find something to complain about
Xia Zhiye should have laughed, but he couldn't.
Because the more exaggerated Tony's expression was, the more important this matter was in his heart. More importantly, he was absolutely unwilling to believe everything he said, and he was even more afraid.
Xia Zhiye sighed: "Calm down first. Even if I want to kill you, I will definitely kill you, not Howard."
"… That's good." Tony breathed a sigh of relief: "Tell me, what do you know now?"
"A terrible fact."
Xia Zhiye said: "It involves many people, which is why I have never been able to make up my mind to tell you."
Tony frowned and looked at Xia Zhiye: "You told me this old story so seriously. You don't mean to say that the person involved is still alive, do you?"
"Alive." Xia Zhiye nodded: "Not only alive, but also, before this, he was in the Caspian Camp... It was him who killed your father."
Tony's expression froze for a moment.
He looked at Xia Zhiye blankly, then shook his head: "No... You are lying to me, you... You can't do this to me."
"I want to protect you... Okay, I know this sentence is not convincing." Xia Zhiye poured himself a glass of wine and wanted to take a sip, but put it down again. He was undecided in his heart: "I should have found a better time to tell you about this, but there is no such opportunity. I know the importance of this matter, so I am more cautious... But, I won't say it anymore. I even know what I will say next, Tony, do you understand what I mean?"
"Hmm... I guess you've had too much to drink?" Tony looked at the bottle and said, "I advise you not to touch it again."
