The era of American comics begins

Chapter 452 The Entangled Past

"Catched up by the past," the Mandarin used a rather clever way of saying it, which Tony couldn't help but care about.

"What do you mean?" he asked. "What the hell did you do to my armor?"

As he asked, he continued to try to restore the armor's system, but so far there was no progress.The systems of each module of the armor are operating normally, there is no problem with the hardware, and there is no sign of intrusion at all, it just refuses to move for no reason.
Tony thought of something.As if all of a sudden, he somewhat understood where the problem was.

Intrusions are not detected because there are no intrusions at all.No abnormality can be found because there is no abnormality in the system.

It wasn't the Iron Man suit that was the problem, it was himself.

The boy from before also walked back in front of him, sizing him up with eyes like a poisonous snake.

"You really don't know who I am at all, do you?" the boy asked with a sneer.

Yes, he doesn't know.But he has already faintly noticed that this young man may be the key.

So he asked, "Who are you?"

"Yeah, who am I? I bet you must really want to know who is the person who controls the switch of Iron Man's system." The boy said, the corners of his mouth hooked up.

So he admitted that the abnormality of Tony's body was indeed related to him.

The young man stared at him for a while, then said slowly: "My father never thought of it that way before, but in fact, as far as I think, you are actually very similar to him.

You see, my father was also a scientist, just like you.He was passionate about the practical application of biomagnetism, and he has devoted most of his life to it, and has indeed made progress to be proud of."

While he was talking, Tony's brain was spinning rapidly.One by one, he checked out all the objects in his mind that might be described by the other party, the criminals he defeated, the innocent people affected by his battles, or the family members who lost something because of his weapons.
Names and faces flashed through his mind, but were quickly eliminated immediately after.He couldn't imagine who the boy's father might be, and what kind of entanglement he would have with him.

And the truth did exceed his expectations.

"After a long period of research, my father discovered that biomagnetic implants can change nerve impulses." The teenager continued, "Think about what these applications can do in medicine. Maybe he can cure depression, maybe he can heal mental illness. Disintegration, and even the possibility of changing a person's inner soul, turning a sociopathic criminal into a law-abiding model citizen. Who knows? It's not out of the question if he can keep going.

But of course, this dirty world won't allow things to go that smoothly.The most critical part of the experiment, my father began to lack funds.He needed money, lots and lots of money, but he didn't have the patience to plod along with the school for grants.

No, that would take decades—if he was lucky enough.People are sick and they need treatment!So he started working with the government.The government had expressed a clear interest in his research, but the value they found in it was different from what my father had originally intended.The government has always had little interest in humanitarianism. I'm sure that's the part you get the most out of it, right Tony? "

Tony knew he was implying that he had been a weapons dealer.The story he tells is by far not that rare—a tragedy, but a common one.Many scientific researchers in the world are experiencing this all the time. There may have been opportunities to make the world a better place in countless laboratories, but they were all killed in the cradle for similar reasons.

Not everyone is lucky enough.

"You see, in the end, weapon design is what everyone pays attention to." The young man continued, his pale face expressionless, as if he didn't feel resentful because of it, "This is a lucrative cake, because everyone They all believe that the end is more important than the means. A small price can save millions of lives and serve humanity? What is the price, Tony? You designed the landmines to make thousands of children spend the rest of their lives. Crawling, and you're telling everyone that your profits from selling these weapons are all for better prosthetics?"

Then he smiled, smug like a condescending winner.

"So maybe you should have guessed the ending. Father's dream still didn't come true in the end, he dreamed of becoming a benefactor instead of a death-spreading demon like you. But in the end, he became just like you. Biomagnetism was eventually designed as a weapon, and guess who was the first person lucky enough to have it implanted?"

The fog was lifted bit by bit, and the boy's words connected everything together.Suddenly, Tony seemed to have thought of an extremely terrifying truth.The Mandarin said he would be caught up by his past, and now he seems to be finally starting to understand what that means.

"So your father." Before hearing the confirmation from the other party, Tony still had the last chance of luck.

"If you are really as genius as everyone says, then I think you should have guessed it." The boy said, "Yes, my father, who saved your life and gave you a second chance , even the one who indirectly contributed to the birth of Iron Man. But at the same time he also implanted that device in you, making you part of the problem he left behind”

"Hou Yinsen." Tony pronounced the name weakly, "You are Yinsen's son."

Hou Yinsen, the person who became the biggest turning point in his life and the person who gave Iron Man meaning, the person who has only been with him for a short time, has become a close friend he will never forget in his life.

If it weren't for Yinsen, he would have been finished by the time he was dragged back to the base of the Ten Rings Gang.Without Yinsen, he couldn't complete the manufacture of the small arc reactor alone.If there is no Yinsen, the Iron Man armor of MK1 will not be fully charged before the terrorists rush into their laboratory-it is Yinsen who risked his life to fight the terrorists, and exchanged his life for him to escape. Opportunity.

After coming out of that cave, Tony has always felt that he is no longer just living for himself, but also living with Yinsen.Later, he went to Yinsen's hometown, swept away the terrorists who occupied his hometown, and gave that town all the assistance he could.
When he does these things, he feels as if they are his responsibility, as if the bullied town is also his hometown.

And it wasn't until today that he realized for the first time that he didn't know that much about the friend he thought he was.
