Chapter Two Thousand and Fifty-Three: Lighting Up the Dream in My Heart (46)

Walt Disney wears a slightly retro black tuxedo, a black bow tie like that of the gentleman Mickey, a high top hat, and a cane carved with vine patterns in his hand.

He picked up a cup of tea from the small yellow round table next to him, sat on the sofa and crossed his legs, then looked up at Schiller and said, "You're here." ”

Schiller frowned slightly, but quickly retracted his expression, he turned to the other three and said, "I want to talk to Mr. Disney alone, is that okay?" ”

The other three didn't say anything, turned to leave, and after leaving the cabin, Nick shrugged, and Strange and Loki each pulled out a green Franklin and handed it to him.

"I said that he was in such a hurry to find Disney, there must be something else, what do you think they will talk about?"

"It's hard to guess, but it must be more mysterious than we think." Loki blinked, twirled the staff in his hand and said, "Schiller has too many secrets, but not all of them have to be understood. ”

In the semi-circular room, Schiller sat down on another sofa next to the round table, a little lost in his own thoughts, and Walter's voice sounded in his ears again: "Aren't you going to ask something?" ”

Schiller woke up suddenly, and then turned to look at Walter and said, "I guess things aren't what I thought they were, right?" ”

"That depends on how you imagine it." Walt took a sip of tea and said, "Whose story do you want to hear first?" ”

"What choice do I have?"

"Let's talk about myself first." Walter sighed softly and said, "It's a long story......"

"Then you'll make a long story short." Schiller turned to look at him and said, "Obviously I'm not interested in that, I just need to know you're here." ”

Then he looked down at the teacup in his hand, and Walt understood what he meant, and knew what story he wanted to hear.

"Before I can do that, I have to introduce you to someone." Walt turned his head to look behind him, and Schiller turned his head at the same time, and then saw a green figure walking at the back door of the weird animated cabin.

That's Loki, an old Loki.

Schiller's eyes widened slightly, as if he suddenly remembered something, he looked at this Loki and said, "The god of stories? ”

"Not the one you're used to." The old man sat down on another couch across from them, and he set aside his staff and took a cup of tea from the table.

He took a sip of tea, showed a satisfied expression, and gently flicked the lid of the cup, looked at Schiller and said, "Three thousand years have passed since I became the god of stories. ”

Schiller's eyes widened slightly again, he looked at the elderly Loki and said, "So you're the old god of stories?" ”

Elderly Loki nodded and said, "I'm at the end of the story. ”

Schiller leaned forward, looked at him and said, "What's there?" ”

Elder Loki shook his head and began to tell his story on his own.

"When I became the god of stories, I recorded all kinds of stories in every universe, and after a few hundred years, my storybooks became abundant, a thousand years later they filled almost every place on every page, and after two thousand years, the storybooks became very thick, and I began to get tired of them."

"There is no never-ending story in this world, and there is no story that is always new, the intelligent life in the world that can create stories is always repeating the mistakes of the past, and everything I have spent two thousand years recording is nothing more than cultivating countless identical tributaries on a long river."

"I wonder why every universe is so similar, people are always doing the same thing in the same situation, and they can't change it."

"I was fed up with this uninspired repetition, so I began to investigate experiments to try to find out the truth behind these stories."

Schiller listened intently, and when the elderly Loki paused, he instinctively asked, "What did you find?" ”

"I didn't find anything, but someone found me."

Old Loki shook his head gently and said, "In the search for the truth, I have resorted to all kinds of means, constantly going back in time, trying to interfere with the stories, influencing the protagonists in these stories, and expecting them to change. ”

"I roamed countless universes, tried more than I could count, and then I realized that my impact was only temporary, and that the universe would eventually go in the same direction."

"And at this time, a mysterious being came to me, I have not witnessed his existence with my own eyes, I guess he is the supreme god of this world."

Schiller frowned, he felt that this elderly Loki had most likely met the OAA, but he didn't understand why the God of Stories had attracted the attention of this supreme being.

Traveling through various universes to twist the story line sounds a little amazing, but there are many people in the Marvel Universe who do this, or Schiller is actually doing it, although it is not so wide, but the depth of the impact is not much different.

So far, the OAA has not made trouble with Schiller, and it can even be called connivance, so the OAA must have other purposes when it finds the god of stories.

Sure enough, the elder Loki said: "He told me that I didn't have to do meaningless things, and I didn't understand, so I asked him why, and all he said was one sentence - 'It's better to record a story than to create a story.'" ”

Old Loki opened his palm in front of him, and a glimmering quill appeared in his palm, and then he said, "We made a deal, I no longer interfere with existing stories, and he gave me the right to create new stories in the universe." ”

Schiller had a vague hunch, so he looked at Walt Disney, who smiled and said, "And the first story he created was the life of Walt Disney." ”

Schiller's movements paused again, as he remembered the voice that told the story of Walt Disney's childhood after the first Walt Disney statue was lit.

The voice was a little too old, and the Walt Disney he knew was actually dead in his 60s, and it didn't sound like Walt, but more like an old Loki who had just spoken.

So Walt Disney's origin story in this universe was actually created by the god of stories?

It can't be a coincidence, the God of Stories created this story that he couldn't have known as a comic book character, the only possibility is that the story was told to him by the OAA, which was one of the conditions of their deal.

One of the favorable proofs is that Marvel has an infinite number of single universes, and no matter how much the God of Stories destroys and interferes, it will not let the big boss intervene to stop it.

OAA's power is unlimited, even if he wants to stop someone, he doesn't need any transaction at all, just erase it.

Then this deal may just be a pretense, giving this quill with the ability to create stories in the Marvel Universe to the God of Stories, and allowing him to create Walt Disney's origin story in the comic book world, which is likely to be the purpose of OAA to find the God of Stories.

So since it is the origin story of the creation of Walt Disney, this thing must have been instructed by Walt, at least it has something to do with him.

Schiller thought about it carefully, the time of Walt Disney's death that he learned in his previous life should be 1966, and Disney's acquisition of Marvel was in 2009, there is a time difference of more than 30 years, can Walt still predict that Disney will acquire Marvel in the future?

Wait, Schiller was shocked that it was not Walt Disney who foresaw that Disney would buy Marvel in the future, so he made such an arrangement, but he made such an arrangement, and Disney chose to buy Marvel.

Then Schiller thought of another key figure, and that was Stan Lee, known as the father of Marvel superheroes.

After a quick refresher through Stan Lee's life, Schiller grasped the key.

At the end of the 50s of the 20th century, DC Comics began to get involved in the field of superhero comics, and Stan Lee, who was working as the editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics at that time, was asked by his boss to create a new superhero comic book series.

In 1961, the Fantastic Four were born.

In the days that followed, famous superhero comics such as Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, and X-Men were created one after another.

As mentioned earlier, Walt Disney was still working hard until his death, and he did not recuperate due to illness and did not have contact with the outside world, that is, it is possible that he had read Marvel Comics a few years before his death.

In fact, Walt Disney and Stan Lee are the same generation, but one lives short and the other lives long, which makes people feel as if they are several years apart, but their life trajectories actually coincide.

And there are certain similarities in the fields of work between the two, when Stan Lee was working at Marvel Comics, Walt Disney was releasing the world's most popular cartoons, and won several Oscars, regardless of whether Walt had been in contact with Stan Lee or not, Stan Lee could not have heard of this famous animation director.

At that time, Walt Disney, who became an instant hit with Mickey's image and even ruled the world in animation for several years, was the idol of every painter in the industry, and Stan Lee was probably no exception.

So they ever had contact? Schiller speculated in his heart that in most people's perceptions, Marvel's supreme god OAA is actually the incarnation of the creator, to put it bluntly, before 2000, OAA was Stan Lee.

The inference seems to be getting clearer, and during Walt Disney's heyday, he had contact with Stan Lee, the father of Marvel superheroes.

They may have made some deals, or they may have just discussed the comic book storyline together and got inspiration, but in short, Stan Lee intends to draw Walter into the comics.

But Walt Disney's company is named after itself, and it is impossible for Marvel Comics to allow their editors to draw a superhero named after the company's founder without authorization, which is a serious infringement.

But the problem ceased to exist after Disney's acquisition of Marvel, and Schiller speculated that Walt Disney may have made some arrangement that eventually led to the removal of the barrier to Disney's acquisition of Marvel's rights, and his story appeared in the comics.

So now only one last question remains, which universe does all the intercourse between Walt Disney and Stan Lee, Disney and Marvel take place in?

Or more bluntly, inside the fourth wall or outside the wall?

Schiller pondered this question as he took a sip of the hot tea from the teacup in front of him.

The next second, he froze.

The taste in the mouth is extremely familiar, it is his favorite Biluochun in his previous life.
