Chapter 226 What kind of family is this!
It seems that Hashimoto Kanzuki is indeed a management talent with a vision for long-term development.
Lin Feng smiled and encouraged, "Ms. Hashimoto, your suggestion is excellent and your vision is very unique."
Hashimoto Huanyue followed behind Lin Feng, "Professor Lin Feng, I have a question for you, is that ok?"
"Of course, I will tell you everything I know." Lin Feng replied.
Hashimoto Huanyue showed her own panel, "Professor Lin Feng, the highest-level god I currently have is Amaterasu, above Amaterasu is Izanagi, and above Izanagi is the supreme god Ame-no-Mikado. But in my display here, Izanagi's image is the great god Jinwu Dijun, and Ame-no-Mikado's image is the image of Tongtian Jiaozhu, who you played before, and his name is also your Tongtian Jiaozhu. Why is that?"
Lin Feng thought about it, maybe it was because Hashimoto Huanyue's system was a subsystem of his own. He explained seriously, "The origin of mythology is too long ago. It is possible that the gods in various myths have become different characters in the records of different cultural fields. For example, Tongtian Jiaozhu, he is not the highest god authority I have. Above him is Pangu, and above Pangu is Hongjun. Hongjun is the supreme one. However, because they are too powerful, they do not often appear in people's field of vision. But in different mythological backgrounds, people's cognition is different, so there are different descriptions."
Hashimoto Huanyue suddenly realized, "So although the names are different, they are describing the same god, just with different names? Is that right, Professor Lin Feng?"
Lin Feng had no choice but to accept this statement because there was no more reasonable explanation.
Hashimoto Kanzuki thought for a moment, "In Chinese mythology, Emperor Jun gave birth to ten suns and was the ruler of the demon world; and in the mythology of the Sakura Kingdom, the goddess Amaterasu was the light that was born when Izanagi washed his eyes after escaping from the underworld. The two can correspond. In other words, the early people's description of mythology was too brief, so only the general framework was correct, and the remaining details needed to be filled in by later generations. Therefore, the deeds of gods in the myths of various countries are very different. Professor Lin Feng, do I need to submit to you? You created me, so you are my main god!"
Lin Feng waved his hands quickly, "Uh, that, Ms. Hashimoto, we are all independent individuals. I agree with your views on God. The image of God is unified, but it is described differently in different cultural backgrounds. You don't need to submit to me, you are you, that's all."
Hashimoto Kangetsu nodded as if she understood, then turned and walked out of the torii.
Hashimoto Kangetsu returned again with a solemn look on her face, as if she was still immersed in the baptism of divinity.
Reporters from various countries who had been waiting for a long time rushed forward and asked questions to Hashimoto Kanzuki, but the Sakura government forces were already prepared and quickly protected Hashimoto Kanzuki, isolating her from the reporters' questions.
Lin Feng also quietly returned to his residence.
In the cabinet meeting room of Sakura Country, all cabinet members have arrived, and they are staring at the arrival of Hashimoto Kanzuki and Koizumi Rokuro.
Koizumi Rokuro could not hide his excitement. "Ms. Hashimoto, welcome back. May I ask what is your opinion on the gods?"
Hashimoto Huanyue had just returned from the abode of the gods, and his knowledge of the gods was undoubtedly authoritative, which was similar to Lin Feng. Therefore, Koizumi Rokuro and the others were eager to understand Hashimoto Huanyue's views on the gods.
Hashimoto Kanzuki recalled the supreme wisdom of the Kree people and calmly sorted out his thoughts. "The gods are always the same gods. It's just that they occasionally appear in the world and are recorded by people. Although the records are different, the gods remain the same."
Hashimoto Kangetsu's words were quite mysterious, and several cabinet ministers looked at each other, puzzled by his meaning.
Hashimoto Kanzuki looked at the people who were lost in thought and did not let them wonder for too long before explaining, "In other words, the gods are always the same. They just appear in different cultural backgrounds, are recorded by people of different cultures in their own writing, and compiled into stories that conform to the local cultural background, thus becoming the local gods."
Her meaning was quite clear.
In order to further convince everyone, Hashimoto Kanzuki gave an example: "In Chinese mythology, there is the story of Dayu controlling floods; and in Western culture, there is also a story about God sending Noah to build Noah's Ark to save people from the flood. In short, both stories are about floods in ancient times, gods appeared, sent saviors to appear, and saved mankind. Do you understand?"
A cabinet member mustered up the courage and asked in disbelief, "Ms. Hashimoto, are you saying that the god in the torii that appeared today is actually another identity of the Chinese gods?"
His question hit the nail on the head, and Hashimoto Kanzuki's meaning had been guiding them to think in this direction. Although they were reluctant to admit it, they had to think so. Just in case, someone always needed to ask for clarification.
Hashimoto Kangetsu thought about it and said, "It's both right and wrong."
Both right and wrong? What does this mean? Is it right or wrong? Hashimoto Kanzuki's answer was a bit mysterious, leaving everyone scratching their heads.
Hashimoto Kanzuki explained, "I met Amaterasu, and she told me that her father was the demon Emperor Dijun. In Chinese mythology, Dijun is the father of ten golden crows, and each golden crow can represent the sun. In the mythology of our Sakura Country, after Izanagi escaped from the Yellow Spring Country, he washed out his daughter, Amaterasu, who symbolizes the sun, from his eyes while resting. These can all correspond. However, although the images of some gods overlap, the images of some gods are different. For example, the Snow Girl does not exist in Chinese mythology, but in the mythology of our Sakura Country, the image of the Snow Girl is a household name. This is the difference."
The cabinet member who asked the question faltered and said, "Then, Ms. Hashimoto, do you mean to say that the information the gods told you is that the gods in our Sakura cultural system are just a branch of the Chinese gods?"
Hashimoto Kanzuki nodded solemnly, "I'm afraid that's the case. Therefore, it is very necessary to maintain a good relationship with China. The gods will not easily interfere in human affairs, but once there is civil unrest among humans, the gods will still be very unhappy. Also, if possible, I still hope that Professor Lin Feng can stay in Sakura Country for a while. Because we don't do much research on gods, and he is an authority in this area. His research on gods will help us understand gods more deeply."
After delivering the message from the gods, Hashimoto Kanzuki left the cabinet. She was only responsible for delivering the message, and after delivering it, she had to accept interviews from the news media. However, Koizumi Rokuro still gave her some instructions.
Everyone in the cabinet fell silent at the same time. They had mixed feelings, but they had to admire Koizumi Rokuro's foresight.
After Hashimoto Kanzuki appeared, the army of Sakura Country quickly intervened and took her away in order to obtain first-hand information related to the gods.
Now they have the information they wanted, but the results are not entirely satisfactory.
Fortunately, the media has not yet announced the matter, and public opinion is still in their favor.
In addition, the gods will not easily interfere in human affairs. Their political movements are still decided by themselves, and they still hold the initiative.
Koizumi Rokuro cleared his throat and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I believe everyone is very clear about the focus of our diplomatic work from now on."
Everyone nodded in unison.
After the cabinet members left, Rokuro Koizumi lit a cigar with mixed feelings.
He had quit smoking for a long time, but today's depression made him unable to help but take out a cigarette to relieve his depression.
He originally wanted to use the power of God to become one of the five permanent members of the Security Council, but now everything has come to nothing, which is really disappointing.
But overall, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. "Hey, Mr. Stark, you're back!" Harry shouted happily. This little boy who was passionate about handicrafts had a great time talking to Stark and gained a lot. When he woke up in the morning and didn't see Stark, he felt a little disappointed, thinking that he had left quietly. Now that Stark suddenly appeared, his joy was beyond words.
Stark smiled and apologized, "I'm sorry, Harry," he said, holding the soy milk and fried dough sticks he had just bought, "I went out and bought a Chinese breakfast. I don't know if it suits your taste."
In fact, he just bought it on his way to Chinatown. He ran around like a headless fly in the morning, but got nothing.
Harry happily took the breakfast handed to him by Stark, "Does Professor Lin Feng like to eat these too?"
Stark shook his head. "No, this is my personal taste. Professor Lin Feng's breakfast is much richer than mine." Seeing Harry's surprise, he smiled and said, "However, I will take you to see Professor Lin Feng in the future. It's not bad to adapt to the Chinese taste in advance."
Harry laughed along with Stark, and after taking two bites of the dough sticks, he said vaguely, "Mr. Stark, I looked at your mecha, and I wonder if you can equip it with a reflector... uh..."
Stark took over his conversation, "Reflective panel, right?" The term is indeed a bit obscure for a child of this age, but he can be exposed to and understand this aspect, which shows that he is indeed a talented person.
Harry nodded excitedly, "Yes, Mr. Stark, if I were to design Iron Man and War Machine..."
Stark corrected him again, "It's not War Machine now. After joining the UN Security Council, Rhodes's set is now called Iron Patriot."
"Really? That sounds even cooler!" Harry's eyes widened and he started dancing with joy.
Stark shook his head, not impressed by the name. "That doesn't sound cool at all, Harry. Go on and tell me your idea. Add a reflective panel to the mecha, and then what?"
"Oh, yes," Harry was brought back to the point by Stark, "Use the reflective panel to reflect the light so that it can enter invisible mode."
When Stark heard this, he stopped eating the dough sticks and turned to look at Harry, "You want it to go into stealth mode?"
Harry raised his head proudly, "Well, Mr. Stark, doesn't that sound cool? Do I have a lot of ideas?"
Stark didn't want him to be too proud and complacent. After all, the kid was extremely talented and couldn't stand still because of complacency. So he continued to eat the dough sticks. "It sounds good. Maybe I can make one someday. It's a good idea indeed."
Harry's thoughts made Stark feel ashamed and deeply moved.
In the past, he had a flamboyant and unruly personality, always putting everything out in the open, including his announcement that he was Iron Man.
Because his pride does not allow him to be humble and hide his head and tail.
It is precisely because of his personality that he revealed his home address to the media, allowing terrorists to take advantage of the situation.
When almost all of his mechas were sent for repair and upgrade, artillery fire roared and his home was devastated.
The current situation of Pepper and Natasha is still unknown, and Maya's situation is estimated to be not optimistic.
And all this is because of his flamboyant personality.
Because of his personality, he never thought of installing reflective panels. After all, Iron Man always appears in the open. What's the point of being invisible?
However, yesterday's terrorist attack made him realize his mistake. Before he had enough ability to protect his family, his arrogance would only make him a target of revenge.
Moreover, there are gods in this world. Even if there are no gods, there are the Kree people whose technology far exceeds that of Blue Star.
Perhaps he could change his mindset and not be so ostentatious, but it would be enough to let people know of his existence as if they were fearing a god.
Stark was lost in thought, not even realizing he had finished the soy milk.
"Mr. Stark, you have finished your soy milk." Harry reminded.
Stark came back to his senses and looked at Harry. In order to hide his embarrassment, he changed the subject and asked, "Kid, who else is in your family?"
Harry fiddled with the mech's fingers, "My mom works in a restaurant and usually doesn't come home during the day. My dad went to buy lottery tickets and went to claim the prize after he won."
Stark folded his arms and looked at the child with interest.
He has not seen the child's parents from yesterday until now.
What kind of parent is this?
It's okay for the mother, because she works and supports the family, but what about the father? Buying lottery tickets should improve the family conditions, right? But the child doesn't live very well, right?
But then he saw Harry lower his head, with a hint of grievance and sadness in his voice, "He must have won a lot of prizes. After all, he hasn't been home for five or six years."
Stark didn't know how to comfort him, so he just said, "It's very common for dad to abandon the family and leave."
He thought of his father, who insisted on going on a business trip to the Bear Country for work, and he was sad for a long time because of this. The relationship between father and son has never been repaired since then, because the opportunity has been lost.
"Mr. Stark, you have finished your soy milk." Harry reminded.
Stark came back to his senses and looked at Harry.
