Chapter 79 The White Whale 18
It may be because this incident made Tony really terrified, so he directly sealed off the dangerous goods containment department that night.
Not only is it sealed, but it is also covered with an energy shield, a tortoise shell that consumes a lot of energy but is very useful.
Not to mention that, Tony even considered transferring Alice very seriously.
"You can choose by yourself. I have two vacation estates and a farm on the outskirts of New York City. Oh, by the way, I also have a winery. There are six high-end hotels in Manhattan, all of which are controlled by me. There are also sea view villas, but I don't remember any. There are only a few buildings, so I can live here anyway." Tony suggested to Alice very seriously.
At this time, Alice, with an ice pack on her forehead and her whole body huddled in the furry, took out a piece of paper and blew her nose, and made a funny sound of a little train starting: "Doooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo——"
Tony endured it for a long time, but the more he thought about it, the more funny he became, and the more he endured it, the more he couldn't help it, and finally burst out laughing.
Alice was dizzy, and stared at her crystal-clear jewel-like eyes, threw the ball of paper aside, angrily stretched out her feet in furry night socks, and kicked him non-aggressively, only to be kicked by Tony He grabbed his ankle and shoved it back into the blanket unceremoniously: "Don't make trouble, you dare to stick your feet out even if you have a cold and a fever!"
Yes, the rain did make Alice sick after all.
Alice said with a soft nasal voice: "I'm not leaving, I'm going to live here."
"Don't be stubborn with me," Tony said.
He didn't want to have another incident from the last time. That incident really scared him so much that he almost had a heart attack. He even had a nightmare that night, and felt the pain of an anxiety attack again after more than half a month.
Alice looked at him wrongedly: "Don't you need me? Do you have to drive me away?"
Tony: "..."
Tony really couldn't face Alice's wronged eyes, even though he knew that the little girl was [-]% acting: "Don't look at me like that, okay? I'm not driving you away, it's just for safety reasons."
"You said this is the safest place." Alice insisted, "Aren't other places worse?"
Tony: …
When did I say this is the safest place? !
Tony couldn't remember it for a while, and didn't care whether Alice tampered with his speech.He just couldn't figure it out, the incident last night would probably scare anyone a lot, why did Alice seem to not care at all after just one night?
She almost died there!
Or, did she just not realize the seriousness of the problem?
"You need to know one thing, little Alice." Tony became serious and said with a straight face, "The incident last night was very, very dangerous, I don't know if you realize it, you almost... "
He paused for a moment, as if he couldn't continue, and his face was even more horrible: "You almost died there. You were rescued this time, but no one can guarantee that you will be rescued next time, okay?" ? I didn't mean to scare you. I'll send you a little farther away, and the probability of danger will be less."
Alice looked at him without moving, and after listening to what he said, contrary to Tony's imagined reaction, she actually laughed.
That smile seemed to be spring water flowing from the dry land, and small flowers bloomed on the scorched earth. In an instant, the slightly tense atmosphere disappeared without a trace.
She said, "So...is that why you're obviously out of shape today?"
Tony was slightly taken aback.
Alice continued on her own: "You came to me because of anxiety, right? I've been very happy to help you, and after I came, you have obviously improved. But since last night, I feel that you seem to have some signs of relapse... although this seems to be my problem."
"It's not..." Tony seemed to want to refute Alice, but he got stuck again.
"So, at least wait a little longer?" Alice wrapped the blanket tightly, with some pitiful pleas in her voice, "At least I can still help you, and... and it's not that I promised to give it to me next week As for the exam, you also know that I am a super unconscious person, if I leave here, I will definitely stop studying every day!"
Tony: ……………
Tony didn't know what to say.
——No, do you want to stay that much?In the past, every time when it came to studying and taking exams, I always had a broken face, a hopeless expression, and an expression of wishing I could grow wings and fly away on the spot, but now I even took the initiative to bring it up?
In order to stay, the little girl is really willing to go!
At the same time, his heart suddenly softened, like butter slowly melting in the sun, soft and sweet, warming his heart.
Because he knew that the child cared about him.
Even if this child has encountered such a terrible thing, what he cares most about is still his mental state, and he even feels self-blame for it.
Obviously, he should be the one who should feel guilty. He failed to protect the little girl and almost caused a tragedy.
"And——" Alice took out a few blank staves and a pencil from the blanket, and waved them in front of Tony like offering treasures, "I was inspired by that incident last night. Song - the seventh song without words! Don't you want to be the first listener to hear this song!"
Tony rubbed between his brows helplessly: "Okay...but what you need now is to rest, stop writing songs."
"That can't be done." Alice spread the staff on her bent legs, holding a red pencil in her white hands, writing and drawing on it, "Inspiration is fleeting."
She had to hurry up and write the song while still remembering the frequency of the anti-reverse.
While writing, she hummed the melody softly.
The girl's voice was as clear and quiet as ever even if she had a cold. Tony was immersed in the new melody she was humming for a moment, and the anxiety and worry in his heart disappeared without a trace at this moment, and there was even a strange feeling. A sense of relief, as if some sub-healthy ailments in the body are resolved in this melody, and the whole person is completely new.
Alice glanced at the pollution level on Tony's head and found that it was slowly decreasing.
Sure enough, this frequency has a miraculous effect on people polluted by the crimson core. Tony was exposed to the source of infection inactivated by the samurai, and the degree of contamination is very low, so the effect is more obvious.
……
In her body, Hawthorne sighed: "It would be great if I could analyze my own pollution frequency."
【Your pollution is not in such a low-level form. 】
The pollution of the Eye of Mystery is far more complex, disorderly, and chaotic. Even if the Crimson Earth Accountant is the stronger one among the Old Sun Blessed, trying to compare with him is still going to the moon and touching porcelain beyond countless levels.
"Yeah," said Hawthorne resignedly, "but who doesn't like to daydream?"
……
As a result, Alice successfully negotiated with Tony and happily stayed at the Avengers headquarters, and also managed to win a wave of Tony's father's favor.
Of course, she was forbidden to get close to any potentially dangerous places. Although these dangerous areas are also equipped with the safest protective measures in the world, it is obvious that Tony has been afraid of well ropes for ten years.
Now, Alice is facing a very terrible problem——
The pope's golden pattern was exhausted by her during the action that day, and it has completely disappeared, so what should I do in the next exam!
Alice got into the closet on the spot and tried to go to the Mysterious Star Cathedral to ask the Pope for help, but the Pope refused with indifference.
"It's none of my business." He said calmly, "You figure it out yourself."
Alice stomped her feet angrily at the pope's appearance of being irrelevant: "Why are you like this?"
"It was you who didn't cooperate with me first, Singer." The pope didn't lift his head, his eyes seemed to be glued to his tattered books, and the word indifference was capitalized from head to toe, "I was Tell you to retreat, why continue to waste time with pollutants? The samurai could have left more easily."
Alice: …
Well, that was indeed her problem.
But she got dirt on her hands at the time, can this be tolerated?This can't!
And it wasn't that she couldn't solve the small problem of the explosion by herself at that time. Wasn't it because she had a high pollution level in order to extract the anti-frequency, so she didn't dare to use extraordinary power anymore?
Alice, who knew she was wrong, had no choice but to go back to her closet with two small tears in her mouth, squatting in the dark closet with the faint hope that the damned Pope might change his mind. holding tablet computer carrying formulas.
However, she had already finished dozens of questions, and she couldn't wait for the Pope to change his mind.
The sad Alice looked at the wrongly finished exercise set and felt even more heartbroken.
—I've had enough of life!
Although... Tony said that if she passes the exam, one of her wishes will come true!
Tony Stark's promise, the gold content does not need to be explained at all.
Alice could only bite the bullet and keep going.
So, when Tony finished his work and happily came to find Alice to cook together, he got an empty room and Alice who was hiding in the cupboard and studying tearfully.
Tony: …
Numerous appalling psychological symptoms flashed through his mind immediately.
Why would you lock yourself in the closet?Extremely insecure?depression?Or some other more terrible reason?
Could it be PTSD?
So, it was all a faux pas before Alice looked like a normal person?
This little girl pretended not to care, was she worried that he would blame himself?
Tony was so distressed that he quickly hugged Alice who was sitting in the closet with a dazed face, and comforted him in a pretended relaxed tone: "I'm here, little Alice, I'll be with you tonight, OK? Don't be afraid."
He felt so guilty.
It's all because he failed to protect the little girl and let this innocent and willful child encounter such danger, leaving such a serious sequelae.
Even Tony didn't know how to heal her, he himself got better because of Alice's singing.
How do doctors treat themselves?
Alice who didn't understand why Tony reacted so strongly: ...?
"No." Alice held her tablet very stubbornly, "I want to study."
Tony: …
After a brief moment of daze, Tony was immediately relieved. He didn't expect Alice to become so fond of learning. Moved and guilty, he taught Alice a math class in person overnight.
—and reap double the pain and suffering.
Tony, who was pissed off by Alice's elm-like brain that had nothing to do with mathematics, almost collapsed on the ground and pinched himself. He deeply realized how wise it was to let artificial intelligence teach Alice.
If he had taught Alice himself in the beginning, he would have sold out all the antihypertensive drugs in pharmacies in New York.
Looking at Alice's star-like eyes and that face so beautiful that it would make one lose one's mind, Tony fell into silence.
Could it be that God is really so fair?Open a window and close a door?
Is this what parenting is all about—accepting your child's imperfections?
However, when Alice sang the seventh song without words to him after the class, he immediately put his thoughts behind him.
— Fuck not perfect!Alice is the most perfect little girl in the world, no objections are accepted!
