Chapter 365 After many years, Harley is about to join a new organization
"What is the basis for Dr. Manhattan and Jonathan to be two sides of the same coin?" Joseph wondered.
Harley chuckled and said: “Jenny’s memoirs, Dr. Manhattan’s analysis documents, and some of Dr. Manhattan’s performances all prove his contradictions.
You see, he exists on the timeline, coexisting in the past, present and future.
He has been the strongest since his birth and has almost no growth because time has no meaning to him.
His abilities and emotions will not change over time.
Then the question arises.
How could he, who loved Jenny yesterday, fall in love with Laurie today?
Later, Laurie could not get all his love.
Some people say that the plot of my "Red Manhattan" is vulgar. The relationship between Soviet Manhattan and three women is very confusing and uncomfortable.
But I completely relied on reality.
Let’s not mention Jenny first, because Jenny was Jonathan Osterman’s girlfriend during his period.
Let’s just talk about Lowry.
She followed him when she was less than 15 years old.
Falling in love with her is his own choice.
Moreover, through Jenny’s memoirs, it is obvious that his love for Laurie was so passionate and crazy at the beginning, just like an ordinary middle-aged man falling in love with Lolita.
Then what?
By the time Laurie was thirty-five, he felt almost no passion for her.
Look at how they were "sleeping" in 1985.
Dr. Manhattan actually used energy to construct two clones to play with his wife, while he stayed in the laboratory to conduct research."
Harry's face didn't even turn red when she said these words, as if scientists were discussing the mating incident of mice.
On the other hand, Congressman Joseph moved his buttocks on the sofa in embarrassment across the street.
“When Laurie broke up with Dr. Manhattan on Mars, Dr. Manhattan was very sad and seemed to be in tears.
At least, he once told her that without his love for her, the rise and fall of mankind on earth would be completely meaningless to him," he said.
Harry glanced at the old dog Dodo lying on the stone steps taking a nap outside the living room, and asked: "Have you ever raised a dog?"
Joseph also followed her gaze and sighed: "It doesn't seem like it can last a few months."
“If your old dog that has been with you for many years leaves you, will you feel sad or sad?” Harley asked.
“Well, you mean, Dr. Manhattan lost his passion and love for Laurie at that time, and only family affection and friendship remained?” Joseph said thoughtfully.
Hallie said: "He definitely still has feelings for her, but it's also certain that it's not love.
Love is a matter between two people, and the person involved feels it the most deeply.
Laurie personally told me that at that time she almost became the second Jenny. Although Dr. Manhattan was with her every day, she still felt that he was gradually moving away.
I want to reach out and grab it, but I still can’t find the strength and can’t find the direction.
Fortunately, the third silk soul did not appear that year.”
“Dr. Manhattan, who is above time and matter, should not have active and gradual emotions.
Well, just like he likes sweets today, as long as the sweets remain the same, he will never get tired of them.
When there are no variables outside of time, his emotions should be the same as his abilities, which should always be a horizontal line without fluctuations.
Time is not a variable to him.”
“If Laurie or Jenny get tired of him and abandon him, it’s normal for him to lose his passion for them.
If he abandoned the 35-year-old Laurie and picked a 15-year-old loli, it would also mean that he is normal.
Time is still not a variable, but it is changing and is a new variable.
Well, he always likes young and energetic girls, that hasn’t changed.”
“But the fact is the opposite. They even tried to retain his love, but he took the initiative to lose the "hormones" of loving them and did not find another little girl.
This shows that time is affecting his emotions.
Time should not be a variable, but the reality is the opposite.
What went wrong?
I don’t know. I can only guess based on the existing information that if Dr. Manhattan and Jonathan are two people of the same body, it can perfectly explain all reasonable and unreasonable phenomena in reality.
The one who is changed by time and has rich emotional changes is the mortal Jonathan, and the one who is above time and remains the same is Dr. Manhattan.
They all abide by the rules of quantum physics and are multiple superposition states that are difficult to observe.
But Dr. Manhattan has a "high position". By observing Jonathan, he makes his state collapse into one, appear at a certain time and place, and then uses great force to move him to a time and place "under normal human logic".
For example, Jonathan and Laurie are having dinner together. The next second, Jonathan should collapse to the moon 100 years later, but the next second, Doctor Manhattan moves him to the restaurant, the next second at this time.
As a result, a quantum state god with free movement and "rich" emotions appeared in the human world."
"Bah bang bang" Joseph looked excited and stood up and clapped vigorously, "Harry, I understand everything, you"
you are right!
"You are so awesome. "Red Manhattan" deserves the Hugo Award." He shook his head again and again, "No, no literary award is worthy of its honor."
Harley waved her hand and said modestly: "It's just a science fiction novel, not worthy of such bragging."
“It’s more than a novel, it”
It is simply the guideline for our "Seventh Knights" to seize Manhattan.
"It brought me a lot of inspiration and thinking." Councilor Joseph hesitated for a moment and said: "In "Red Manhattan", Manhattan finally dies, but what happens after death?"
“Since you accept the statement that Manhattan and Jonathan are two sides of the same coin, you should also understand that it is only the ‘mortal Jonathan’ that changes over time, and he is naturally the one who dies.
Died of ‘aging’.
What is old is not the body, but the spirit and soul.
Look at Blue Manhattan, he had a crush on his female colleagues when he was young, which is normal.
At the age of forty, I fell madly in love with the beautiful and sexy lolita Laurie, which was also in line with the style of a salty, greasy middle-aged man.
When he is sixty years old and has lost his "motivation", his feelings for Laurie become purely family members, which is also in line with the behavior of normal people.
Wait for Laurie to leave him, if you want to start a third relationship.
I guess he will also find a ‘wife’, that is, a ‘family member’.
The requirements for a wife are naturally different from those for a lover. The lover must be beautiful and sexy, and must attract his attention at first sight.
The appearance and figure of your wife are not important. The key is to make him feel loved and cared for.
So, in my book "Red Manhattan", I found a black aunt to be the third girlfriend in the Soviet Manhattan.
Alas, I was scolded miserably by book friends.”
“Bah bang bang.” Joseph was excited again, with admiration in his eyes and applauded vigorously, “It’s so wonderful, Hallie, you are simply”
I even suspect that you are an omniscient and omnipotent female Manhattan.
You guessed it right again!
“Don’t pay attention to those book friends who scold you, they don’t understand you.” He said solemnly.
Nine years ago, when he first read "Red Manhattan", he also called the author stupid, but now, he almost became her fan.
"Hehehe, the ancients often said, 'Boya is always there, but Ziqi is rare.' Joseph, I found that you are my Zhong Ziqi!" Harley said happily.
Then she explained to him the beautiful story of "Bo Ya played the drum and harp, and Zi Qi played the harp".
"Harry, you and I have met so late, yes, I am your Zhong Ziqi."
Joseph had more important questions to ask her, so he naturally gave her compliments.
At the same time, a slightly bolder idea came to his mind: Should he recruit the witch Harley into his group?
Her "political profile" is actually very good. She is a pure-blooded white person without mixed blood, an elite among white people, and her grandfather is also the core backbone of the "Seventh Knights"
“What will be the state of Dr. Manhattan after Jonathan dies of old age?” he asked.
Harley thought for a while and said: "Theoretically, Jonathan is not really dead. He and Dr. Manhattan will collapse from two sides of one body into a state, a 'ball' with one body and one side, an omnipotent ball."
Joseph's complexion changed. According to her theory, the Seventh Knights should have planned 'Jonathan'. By killing Jonathan, wouldn't it have enabled Dr. Manhattan and allowed him to collapse into a complete entity in advance?
Can he who steals Manhattan’s power get any good results?
“Who has more power, Harley, Jonathan or Dr. Manhattan?” he asked anxiously.
“Jonathan can’t even stop a nuclear crisis. As long as all nuclear powers launch nuclear bombs together, he can’t stop it, but Dr. Manhattan can integrate the multiverse.” Harley said.
“What does it mean to merge the multiverse?” Joseph wondered.
“I’m also guessing.” Harry told Laurie her guess again.
“He is so strong” Joseph was surprised and happy.
Dr. Manhattan is so powerful, wouldn’t he be able to surpass God after gaining his power?
But if he was that strong, could they still succeed?
Maybe it’s time for him to test her.
She can be a good strategist!
“Harley, if, I mean if,” he said slowly with a puzzled expression, “If you were to write a sequel to “Red Manhattan” and a big villain steals the power of Soviet Manhattan, how would you arrange the plot?”
The meat show is coming!
Harley was excited in her heart, but with doubts on her face, and said: "I have already written the sequel to "Red Manhattan", which is "The Trisolaran Crisis in the Post-Manhattan Era."
“Well, I mean, let’s think about it differently and not take the alien route.” Joseph smiled unnaturally.
It was a bit deliberate, I don’t know if she was suspicious.
Harley did not pretend to be stupid, she frowned slightly, showing hesitation and vigilance at the right time, and said after careful consideration: "Even if I rewrite the sequel, I will not arrange a plot like that.
Two reasons. First, I really can’t imagine what kind of technology could take away Dr. Manhattan’s power.
Secondly, it is impossible for ordinary people to withstand all the power of Dr. Manhattan."
Joseph smiled somewhat proudly, what Witch Harry could not imagine had already become a reality in their hands.
“Why can’t it withstand the full power of Dr. Manhattan?”
"Because for an ordinary person, being like 'Jonathan' is already the limit, and 'Jonathan' is not all Dr. Manhattan." Harley said.
“Why did Jonathan reach his limit?” Joseph frowned.
Harley chuckled and said: "If Jonathan can still bear it, Dr. Manhattan will definitely continue to send power to him. Anyway, they are two sides.
But the reality is that you also know that Jonathan is not capable enough to destroy all nuclear bombs at the same time.”
“That makes sense!” Joseph suddenly realized, and then his face began to change.
Since she cannot monopolize the ‘power of the hydrogen bomb’, she is not afraid of taking a piece of the pie after joining.
Next, he no longer talked about Manhattan, but instead talked about the "black equal rights movement" and the notorious Ku Klux Klan.
Harry immediately understood that the inspection phase was coming.
She did not explicitly conform to the theory of "white supremacy", but only slightly changed her attitude towards KKK.
This can be regarded as "fawning", but Joseph is still not very satisfied, thinking that she is too liberal.
