Chapter 72 The White Whale 11
Chapter 72 The White Whale 11
This sudden attack came too fast, and he could hardly avoid such a close-range attack in this short half-second.
In his thermal imaging field of view, the temperature of this humanoid monster has reached thousands of degrees Celsius, and his field of vision is blood red.
"Tony——!!" Before Steve could finish his words, his vision blurred.
A bright light flashed suddenly, like a rustling meteor in the dim light of the night, almost instantly passing by the humanoid monster in front of him.
The screams of the monster died down.
Everything came to a standstill.
Tony reacted, took off on the spot and retreated more than ten meters. The moment he stood still, the monster's head fell to the ground with a thud.
The scorched black shells on the outside shattered into powder, revealing the broken biological tissues and organs left inside. Those things were even wriggling and twitching, looking weird and disgusting.
"...What did you do?" Steve looked at the horrible scene in front of him, and his scalp tingled.
"I didn't do anything!" Tony almost threw up.
"Unidentified creatures detected—"
Tony suddenly raised his head and looked in the marked direction.
In the thermal imaging, a small figure stood in the darkness.
He was dressed in dark robes, and the cloak completely concealed his face.He looks young, maybe just a child, but he holds a sharp knife in his hand.
Tony and Steve made defensive gestures almost at the same time.
"Who?!" Steve asked out loud.
"..." The man with the knife came out of the darkness, and the knife in his hand quietly turned into countless light spots and disappeared into the air, but his face was still covered by the hood, and he couldn't see clearly what was under the shadow. face.
"Hey, don't get close, just stand there!" Tony raised his palm cannon extremely cautiously, "Explain your identity and purpose!"
"……warrior."
After a moment of silence, he spoke.
His voice sounds like a child, but it is extraordinarily calm, like a well-designed precision machine, and every syllable is as precise as a machine.
"We see it, Darth Vader Jr." Tony said, "I mean, the exact identity."
Steve frowned slightly and looked at the guy who called himself a warrior in front of him.
I have to admit that the moment the samurai appeared, it brought him an indescribably terrible sense of oppression.He just needs to stand there without moving anything, and a huge sense of crisis weighs on his heart like a thick dark cloud.
Such a terrifying and suffocating feeling has almost never appeared in a single individual, and this sense of oppression obviously comes from the almost insurmountable gap in strength.
He couldn't even see which direction the samurai was coming from just now, just a flash of white light, and the samurai had already chopped off the monster's head.
too fast.
At the moment, Tony is playing back the video of the samurai appearing just now.
He had already driven to a hundred times slower speed, so slow that the frame rate of the built-in camera on the suit could hardly keep up, and only then did he barely capture the figure of the warrior.
"Sir, this speed has reached nearly three times the speed of sound." The artificial intelligence quickly got the calculation result.
Tony gasped.
……
Hawthorne narrowed his eyes and looked at the two humans in front of him.
[Tony Stark: sanity value 660/800, pollution degree 2.01%, special status: whale breath]
[Steve Rogers: sanity value 799/800, pollution degree 0.51%]
Two eight hundred sanity?
"It's worthy of being a veteran of the Avengers." He thought thoughtfully, "Just leave this corpse... With Tony Stark's scientific research level, let him study it, maybe it can promote human beings. Biological cognition. Anyway, it’s not convenient for a warrior to take this thing away.”
[Will this be risky? 】
Hawthorn laughed: "I believe he has the capital to take the risk."
……
The samurai didn't speak anymore, he just walked up to the fallen monster and looked down at its headless corpse.
The corpse was still twitching, desperately trying to crawl towards the head that fell not far away.
He raised his right hand, and the long bright knife suddenly appeared in his hand again, and the tip of the knife suddenly pierced into the monster's body.
The monster's body tensed suddenly, and then lay on the ground without moving.
Red, thin, dense tentacles-like things began to climb up along the tip of the samurai's knife, like some kind of life core of a monster. The samurai pulled out the blade, and with a flick of his wrist, those tentacles were completely cut off.
Tony and Steve watched all this in silence.
——So the way to completely kill this kind of monster is to cut off these small tentacles in their body?
Let's be honest - it's disgusting and weird, those thin little tentacles are like some kind of super iron nematodes, destroying the human body and controlling their behavior.
After doing all this, the samurai put away his sword and took two steps back, as if he wanted to leave.
"Hey, wait a minute—" Tony quickly stopped him.
The samurai's footsteps did not stop, he turned around after taking two steps back, and a few jumps disappeared into the darkness.
Tony and Steve looked at each other.
In less than half a minute, this self-proclaimed "samurai" child suddenly appeared, killed a monster that attacked them, and then disappeared abruptly. Except for a name that sounded like a code name, there was no information And no intelligence was left.
"Mutants? Or Inhumans? I've never seen him." Tony began to search the list of known superheroes, but he didn't find any results. "He is not in the superhero database."
"Maybe... try a supervillain?" Steve said.
Tony: "... makes sense."
He searched, but there was still no result.
"This is really strange... From his appearance, he should be young. Could it be that he is a newly awakened special ability user?" Tony rubbed his chin, "At least he doesn't seem to be malicious, and he can be regarded as helping us, so he shouldn't would be the enemy."
"He seems to be familiar with this monster?" Steve said, "It can prevent it from exploding."
"On the bright side, this left us with a corpse that can be studied." Tony said, "We have to find a way to get this corpse back. I will let the people from the Disaster Control Bureau deal with the scene and take the corpse away by the way." Moving back to the Avengers..."
He wanted to talk about the Avengers headquarters, but he stopped when he got to his mouth.
Little Alice is going to move there, in case she sees this terrifying thing that can make people have nightmares...
Tony thought about it for a while, and it seems that there is really no other place to put it. The current attributes of this thing are not sure. If it is placed in another place where the monitoring is not strict enough, it will be bad if something goes wrong.
So he continued: "Move back to the Avengers headquarters, well, I have to go, if you have any questions in the future, please contact me in time, if I am online. Also, don't forget to wash your face."
After speaking, he turned into a ray of light and disappeared into the night of New York.
Steve: ...?
Steve reached out and wiped his face, which still had the dark substance from the explosion just now.
He shook his head helplessly.
It's good to fly.
……
the other side.
Alice sat alone in the dining room, slowly took two bites of the rest of the meal, then put down the knife and fork and stopped eating.
She doesn't want to gain weight by eating too much at night.
Alexander hurried into the restaurant and saw Alice sitting alone by the floor-to-ceiling windows looking at the night view of Manhattan. He quickly walked over, stood beside her and said, "Alice? Where are the Starks? "
Alice didn't speak, just held out a hand.
Alexander understood, and immediately put two washed strawberries in his white palm.
"He has something to leave." Alice narrowed her eyes and said while eating strawberries, "Let's go too."
Alexander was bewildered.
He found that he couldn't understand Alice and Stark more and more. He thought that Stark, a scumbag, wanted to attack Alice, but now it seems that this is not the case?
"My little aunt, you have to keep your eyes open, don't be fooled by the scumbag!" Alexander couldn't help nagging while following Alice.
He had the urge to cover his face as soon as he said it.
So what kind of magical power does Alice have that can turn him into a nagging male mother inexplicably!
"Hee hee..." Alice laughed, she turned her head to look at Alexander, her eyes were as bright as morning stars, "I have some important news for you, are you ready for quick-acting heart-relief pills?"
Alexander was slightly taken aback, and his heart suddenly missed a beat.
"You, you won't—"
"I'm going to move to the Avengers headquarters tomorrow!" Alice smiled happily, "Please return the suite in that hotel for me."
Alexander: ...
Alexander staggered, choked on his own saliva, coughed for a long time before raising his head, and looked at Alice, who was dissatisfied because of his gaffe, in shock: "What did you say—!!!?"
……
After learning the truth, Alexander finally recovered.
He was really scared just now and almost had a heart attack. He was in a bad mood. He thought that things had finally come to the most terrible ending.
"But... why?" Alexander didn't understand.
Yes, Alice is indeed beautiful, with a nice voice, and a personality...well, it can barely be called cute.
But Tony Stark would take the initiative to invite her to be his adopted daughter in name?
The incident was so extraordinary that it was hard not to suspect that there were some other unknown reasons for it.
Alexander suddenly thought of a certain possibility: "You...you are not some hidden mutant, are you?"
Like Xuanyin?
"What are you thinking?" Alice glared at him, "I think you are a mutant—the kind of person whose brain has become extraordinarily stupid."
Alexander: ...
Alexander couldn't figure it out, and finally he had a flash of inspiration and thought of a possibility!
Could it be... an illegitimate daughter?
Judging from the age, it is really worthy!Case solved!
Alice didn't know what strange things were going on in Alexander's mind. She was humming a little song in the back seat of the car, her fair calf swaying.
Alexander, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, narrowed his eyes in enjoyment.
Alice's singing voice, no matter how many times I listen to it, is so enjoyable... No wonder Tony Stark likes her so much.
Her voice is even more beautiful than the legendary siren. Who would not want to have a harmless and beautiful siren at home?
……
Tony Stark had the best sleep he'd had in a month.
After solving the sudden explosion, he went back to the restaurant where he had dinner with Alice just now, and found that Alice had left, so he went directly back to the residence of the Avengers headquarters.
He saw that the time was not too late, and he planned to stay up all night to finish upgrading the battle clothes in hand, and then go to see the charred corpse that had been locked in the containment room, but it was not twelve o'clock, he I felt drowsy coming on.
After yawning and crying, he finally had to admit that he had to go to bed.
Prolonged insomnia made his body desperate for sleep, so that as soon as he relaxed physically and mentally, he would fall into sleepiness.
After this sleep, when I opened my eyes again, it was past nine o'clock in the morning.
Tony, who had slept for nine hours, sat on the bed, looking at the sunlight outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, feeling as if he had passed away.
It's such a great feeling to be back to normal life.
"Sir, Mr. Happy is waiting for you at the door."
The voice of artificial intelligence rang in his ears.
"Let him in," Tony said lazily.
……
"I've moved so many things up here, I'm so tired that my waist is about to break, and you're just sleeping late?!" Happy stood in front of a lot of daily necessities and furniture, and said dissatisfiedly, "I thought You're working!...Wait a minute, you can actually sleep in late!?"
"Wow, wait a minute, these are—" Tony was wearing soft pajamas, stepping on slippers, "Little whale with shoes off, bunny pajamas, cat dolls? Is that the air conditioner quilt?"
"You asked me to buy things that little girls would like!" Happy brought these things over in one breath, and was a little out of breath from exhaustion.
"Actually, it's not that small..." Tony fell into deep thought, "I feel that the classification of these things should be suitable for children under the age of seven?"
Happy looked at him with his hips on his waist, and the expression on his face clearly said, "Say another word, you who can only move your mouth?"
"By the way, how is the handover at the brokerage company?" Tony took out the freshly made coffee from under the coffee machine, took a sip and said, "Is there still an adoption procedure?"
"The adoption procedures are still being processed. Alice is short of documents, and her company is expediting her." Happy said while dragging a pile of daily necessities on the ground into the room, "I can't believe it. You just gave her to..."
"Hey, admit it, you're actually very happy too, right?" Tony pointed at him with a coffee cup, "When I told you about this yesterday, you smiled like you had a successful blind date."
"..." Happy was silent for a second, and couldn't help showing a somewhat naive smile, "Indeed."
What is the highest state of chasing stars?
Buying someone else's agency directly and becoming the biggest sponsor of the concert, these are all weak.
The highest state is to directly abduct people as adopted daughters!
"Actually, I have to remind you that this is only in name." Tony shrugged, "It's used to prevent the media from talking nonsense. You know, the little girl's reputation can't be ruined by me."
"I understand, I understand." Happy Fly rubbed her hands, very excited, "So, when will she move here?"
——Let me also chase a star on the spot!
Tony: …
Promise!
