With the slightly warm muzzle of the TP9 tactical pistol pressed against his forehead, and the circle of the muzzle pressing against the skin between his eyebrows, Tony Stark's anger calmed down a little.
But then he thought that he was not going to die soon, and his anger kept rising again. Tony Stark had never been so aggrieved in his life.
"Shoot! Kill me!" Tony Stark stared at Hale fiercely.
Hale calmly held the TP9 tactical pistol. Tony Stark could clearly see Hale's finger slowly pulling the trigger and pulling it back little by little.
Tony Stark's pupils were trembling a little, and he stiffened his neck. He felt like there was a mouthful of saliva that he wanted to swallow down his throat, but at this moment, he gritted his teeth and refused to swallow.
'Click!'
Hal quickly pulled the trigger, and the sound of emptying sounded from the barrel.
Tony Stark closed his eyes subconsciously, and his body trembled. He noticed the familiar sound of empty barrels, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the bar next to Hale. He grabbed it randomly with both hands and caught a bottle of vodka. He drank it directly into his own mouth, and it was so hot that he kept coughing and spitting out the drink.
"Sorry...cough cough...cough...cough cough cough..." The veins in Tony Stark's neck swelled from being choked, tears burst out, and his whole face turned purple. , people will have no doubt that he will be choked to death in the next moment.
After a long time, Tony Stark choked until his throat became itchy and hoarse, and then he took a breath, and wiped away the tears as if he was alive again, "I finally understand the beauty of living, especially when I have everything. "
Just now he really thought Haile would shoot.
The TP9 tactical pistol has 15+1 bullets. Tony Stark was too nervous just now and didn't pay attention to how many shots Hal fired at his feet, but there were still about twelve or three bullets, at least the TP9 tactical pistol. There should be at least 2 or 3 bullets left in the gun.
Tony Stark didn't think a sharpshooter like Hale would miss the mark.
"Go home when you wake up. I don't want to entertain you." Haile threw the TP9 tactical pistol on the bar, glanced at the environment at the bar, found the microwave, poured a new glass of milk, and put it in the microwave.
Although I don't like Tony Stark's dissolute, pretentious, and narcissistic attitude, he has not yet reached the point where Hal wants to kill him.
"I don't want to go back. In fact, my recent behavior has made everyone uncomfortable. Before I came to you, my home was already a mess."
Tony Stark leaned over the bar, turned on the faucet, took the water with his hand, and rinsed his drunken face.
"I don't know where to go. When I see you here, maybe I should say thank you and apologize to you.
You rescued me from a terrorist base and I blamed you, but you were right, it would have been better to just throw me in the desert and let me die like that."
After speaking, Tony Stark's hair and eyebrows were stained with water droplets, with a haggard and bitter smile on his face. He opened his arms and spread out his not strong body, allowing Haile to clearly see the black and blue veins all over him. chest, spreading to the collarbone.
A ‘ding’ sound.
The microwave has stopped.
Haile opened the microwave oven, and a strong aroma of milk emanated from the microwave. He took out a porcelain cup filled with milk and pushed it on the bar. The porcelain cup slid towards Tony Stark, and the milk inside radiated a milky aroma. All over the bar.
"You only look like a person who can communicate when you don't show off your pretentiousness." Haile said expressionlessly. He took another cup, poured milk into it, put it in the microwave, and said slowly:
"Your Iron Man armor should be able to store external energy. There is no need to use the reactor on the chest as the energy source to activate the armor. This can delay your palladium poisoning."
Hale glanced at Tony Stark's chest and made a suggestion.
Tony Stark shook his head silently.
Of course, he can no longer use the reactor on his chest as energy to drive the steel armor. The external energy source in the steel armor can also drive the steel armor, just like he will show up later and fight him at the party before. The war machine is external energy.
It's just that he doesn't want to
Tony Stark is a man with obsessive-compulsive disorder, self-destructive tendencies, and a typical narcissist.
Narcissism is similar to self-confidence in many aspects, such as over-belief in one's abilities, thinking that one can control life and everything, having a high or even unrealistic evaluation of oneself, having high expectations for the future, and believing in oneself. ,believe in future.
However, once a person with excessive narcissism understands that failure is inevitable, he is likely to collapse or even self-destruct.
This is vividly reflected in the palladium poisoning incident.
Because of the palladium poisoning caused by using the reactor he designed, he believed that he could solve the problem perfectly. He tried all the arrangements and methods of today's elements, and realized that his chronic death was unavoidable, so he began to collapse and pissed off his favorite assistant Pei. Po Potz, gave the steel armor to Roddy, and at the same time ruined the image of Iron Man with his wanton debauchery.
It can be said that Tony's narcissism makes his only option to create more powerful products to solve the problem of palladium poisoning. There is no option to replace external energy, because palladium poisoning will kill him sooner or later. He knows it, he understands, and he works hard. If you can't find the future through various methods, you will simply become decadent and self-destructed.
His character, because of his narcissism, self-confidence, and pretentiousness, determines that he causes things beyond his control to happen to him, which leads to collapse and despair, and he is more decadent and thorough than ordinary people.
Just like in "The Three-Body Problem", many physicists felt desperate because they saw false physical phenomena, thinking that physics had no future and committed suicide.
He was also so decadent and confused that he had no sense of his future.
Another aspect is Tony’s understanding of himself
Because Tony believes that the reactor on his chest is one of the symbols of his becoming Iron Man, and it is part of Iron Man.
He was afraid, afraid of losing the reactor, that he would no longer be Iron Man, no longer a good person, and become the same again.
Strictly speaking... he likes to be a superhero and Iron Man!
It’s not that you should give up on being Iron Man just because you want to survive for a while.
Haile obviously saw Tony Stark's character. After a 'ding' sound, he took out the hot milk from the microwave oven, took a warm sip of the milk with a strong milky aroma, and said slowly:
"Go back. Nick Fury will find you soon, and you will be fine soon. If you break the glass in my house next time, I will break your legs."
