Chapter 99 The White Whale 38
Alice opened her mouth, as if she wanted to explain something, but in the end a stubborn expression appeared on her face, and she tightly closed her mouth without saying a word.
The pallor on that palm-sized delicate face was enough to make anyone feel unbearable—even if everyone here knew that, as the singer of Star Nest, she would never be as fragile as she showed.
Strange already subconsciously wanted to smooth things over: "Well... Stark, we are here this time to deliver information, and we have been unable to contact you before... So, maybe we should talk about information first. "
After all, there are priorities.
In fact, he himself was in a state of shock because of the fact that Alice was a man, but there were more urgent things to do right now, so he had to put it off for a while.
This sentence broke the deadlock.
Steve immediately said, "Yes, let's...uh, let's go to the conference room first."
Peter nodded repeatedly in agreement, trembling under the pressure of the big bosses.
……
【Mr. Hawthorne, this...】
The voice of the system was obviously a little nervous, because just now, it watched the sanity points of several superheroes all collapsed at once—except for Little Spider, who had already collapsed once.
...so how scary is Alice's real gender!
"It's okay." Hawthorn said with a smile, "They should be the group of people with the highest ability to accept strange events in the world."
Imagine if Alice hadn't escaped to death and this matter was exposed worldwide...
That's the horror of the evil god's invasion level-the collapse of houses all over the world.
[But what about Tony Stark? 】
"It'll be fine." Hawthorne said casually.
【Ah, that's right, anyway, he's already useless. 】
Hawthorne: "...I didn't mean that. He is angry now, just wait for him to react."
Everything about Alice is never as simple as it seems.
……
Alice stood at the door of the room, watching the Avengers leave without saying a word.
"Alice, aren't you going?" Peter, the only one who still retained some sense, looked back at her.
Alice glanced at the remaining three people who were clearly out of state, pursed her lips, and finally shook her head, saying, "No, this is a meeting of your Avengers."
She is just an outsider from the Secret Star Church, so let's not get involved.
"...Okay." Peter couldn't say anything more, but when he reached the end of the corridor, he turned his head again in a strange way.
He saw Alice still standing there watching them, her light purple skirt was like lavender blooming in the steel forest, and the two straight white legs under the skirt were like flawless ivory.
Her expression could no longer be seen clearly, but Peter suddenly realized that Alice seemed to be abandoned at this moment.
She stood there alone, looking at them from a distance, her slender figure was extremely lonely.
Sometimes Peter would think, why?
Why do men dress up as women?
Obviously her original voice is also very beautiful.
For some reason, he suddenly had the urge to turn back and look for Alice, but the moment this thought arose, he saw Alice turn around and enter the room, closing the door gently.
Peter was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't look back after all, and followed the Avengers into the conference room.
……
They quickly completed the information exchange.
S.H.I.E.L.D. and Doctor Strange discovered several small strongholds of Hydra. They have not acted yet in order not to startle the snakes. They plan to catch them all after the preparations are complete, and get as many clues about the erosion of the Crimson Earth core as possible.
After listening to them quietly, Tony said in a cold tone, "No need."
Everyone was slightly taken aback and looked at him suspiciously.
"I just found a place with a detection instrument, where the tentacles of the deep red core are extremely dense." Tony said, he reported a coordinate point, "I have let the artificial intelligence detect all the connected devices in that coordinate point , One of the firewall settings is very strong, and there is a certain risk of forcibly cracking it...Of course, excluding me, I have already cracked it, and the base set up by Hydra in New York is there."
The conference room fell into silence.
Doctor Strange stood up abruptly, looking at him vigilantly: "You...you looked directly at the Crimson Earth Core?"
Even through equipment, such pollution is enough to completely break a person's mind.
He had to wonder whether the Tony Stark in front of him was the original product or a lunatic who had been contaminated.
"What's the matter?" Tony raised his eyebrows seeing Strange's startled and vigilant expression, "Although those noises and frequencies are indeed disgusting, they shouldn't be such a big reaction."
"No, that frequency is enough to break down a normal person who has not experienced mystical training." Strange stared at him and said, "Are you sure you're okay?"
"..." Tony paused for a moment, he stretched out his hand, and a white ball of light that looked like a small whale appeared in his palm. After being summoned, it seemed very happy, and circled around Tony's palm for several times. lock up.
Its body looks elastic, white, fat and cute.
"Alice gave me this," Tony said, his voice visibly strained when he said the name. "It helped me take on some of the pollution."
"Help you bear the pollution..." Strange froze for a moment, his eyes fell on the little white dumpling, and he frowned slightly.
He didn't know what it was.
But the pure and powerful power contained in it was enough to move him.
"She...he said it was a blessing," Tony said. "Is it strong?"
"Is it very strong?" Strange sat back and asked speechlessly, "I have never seen a second good thing that can help people bear the pollution."
Tony shrugged, and his tone returned to his usual relaxed tone: "Maybe she can help everyone get one."
"Can you?" Peter's eyes lit up.
He has been staring at the little white dumpling all the time. To be honest, that thing looks full of aura and is really cute.
And getting Alice's blessing... this sounds too wonderful!
Tony was silent for a second, then decisively took back the little white whale in his hand, and changed the subject: "Since the coordinates have been determined, let's do it as soon as possible."
"Well, but before that, we need to conduct pollution investigation near the coordinates." Strange said, "This requires the help of SHIELD to evacuate the nearby civilians as far as possible without anyone noticing. Get rid of it and replace it with our people."
Steve nodded: "Leave this to us."
……
the conference has ended.
Tony was obviously in a bad mood, and the other three didn't bother him ignorantly, so they just left.
The little spider, who didn't want to leave the most, also got into the portal silently after dawdling for a while.
The Avengers headquarters fell silent again, falling into a silence that could almost be called dead silence.
Tony sat alone in the conference room, watching the little white whale swimming around in his hand.
The ball of light seems to be becoming more and more concrete. It couldn't see the specific shape before, but now it is more and more vivid.
"What is Alice doing now?" he asked suddenly.
The voice of artificial intelligence sounded: "Sir, she is already asleep."
Tony chuckled, "Heartless little liar."
He put away the little white whale in his hand, took a deep breath, and said, "Very well, I still have work tonight... I have to go to Gotham, I hope that guy Bruce Wayne is not at his reception Get drunk."
……
Facts have proved that Bruce, who has been in the mall for many years, still has a bit of alcohol.
After hearing that the sudden arrival of Tony Stark was related to the Church of the Secret Star and the Church of the Secret Star, he left the banquet being held in Wayne Manor, walked through the secret door with Tony and entered the Batcave, and would stay up all night The liveliness and hustle and bustle of voices left behind.
"I flew to Gotham so late, it's rare to see you in such a hurry." He said as he walked down the stairs.
"Really? After all, it has something to do with Star Nest. I thought you were the one who could understand it best." Tony glanced across the dark Batcave, and said casually, "After all, it's an eventful time."
Bruce looked back at him, seemed to remember something, and said softly, "I'm sorry, Stark."
Tony looked up at him suspiciously: "What are you sorry about?"
"..." Bruce almost choked on his words.
He suddenly wondered if his memory was rusted due to his long-term retirement, and he misremembered the news, so he quickly glanced at the screen of the device.
"Alice Milia Died in Concert"
...That's right, his adopted daughter has indeed been confirmed dead?
But Tony Stark's reaction was obviously wrong.
After a pause, he looked up at Tony, frowned and said, "So, Alice Melia is from Star Nest?"
Tony, who hadn't mentioned this to Bruce at all, raised his eyebrows: "The greatest detective in the world, huh? How did you find out?"
"Your reaction, it is obvious that your adopted daughter Alice Melia did not die at the concert as the news said." Bruce said, "A normal singer would not choose not to refute rumors in this situation, In addition, you came to Gotham to ask me about Star Nest... You can know with a little brainstorming that Milia is most likely a member of Star Nest. What is her code name?"
"Singer," Tony said, "Besides, it's not an adopted daughter."
"Break the relationship so quickly?" Bruce was a little surprised, "I thought you liked her more or less."
"...It's the adopted son." Tony said in a somewhat difficult voice.
He has basically accepted this fact now, but he won't react as much as before.
Bruce: "..."
Bruce's expression was blank for a moment, then he turned quickly and took a sneak peek at Alice's photo.
Then he glanced back at Tony's ugly expression, and then at Alice's photo.
Bruce: ...
No matter how you look at it, it can't be a man!
He frowned worriedly. Could it be that Tony Stark has lost his sanity because he has been exposed to too many mysterious incidents...?
