Chapter 102 The White Whale 41
"That's why he won't quit Star Nest." The Pope said with a smile, "Perhaps you can't even imagine how Singer got to this point. He gave up everything he could, leaving behind the ridiculous Dignity and ego, climbing up at all costs, and finally got such an ending...It's a pity, if he didn't have such a crazy and decisive character, he might have already died in some garbage dump inhumanely."
His peaceful smile seemed so harsh and hateful to Tony at the moment.
"So, do you understand?" He said patiently, whispering words that sounded like curses, "Star Nest will never allow Singer to actively seek pollution... This is his own choice."
His dream is so pure and simple.
He just wants to sing.
He just wants more people to hear his voice, to stand where everyone can see, and let everyone cheer for him.He just wants to go to the place he was born to go, to the stage that belongs to him.
Instead of living and dying like a beast in a dark, dirty, and damp corner.
For this, he can give up anything.
And he is also very clear, after handing everything over to the Eye of the Secret Star, what is the obligation he should bear.
"The interesting thing is that history is always playing out." The Pope seemed to suddenly remember something, and said with a smile, "When the dignitary met the singer for the first time, he liked him very much. Well, I like him so much that I directly accept him as my adopted daughter, after all, he is really good at pleasing people, isn't he... It's a pity that this so-called liking finally changed its quality. "
Tony looked up abruptly.
He said in disbelief: "What did you... say?"
"Oh, I'm sorry." The Pope said, his voice sounded full of apology, but no one present would believe that he was really apologizing, "It's just pure emotion about the past, after all, the truth about Alice is true It's hard to accept, isn't it?"
The dignitary found out that his "adopted daughter" who was stunned and lying on the bed turned out to be a man. It is conceivable how a basin of cold water was poured from head to toe, so that he would be so angry that he would directly hang him in public.
In comparison, perhaps Tony Stark's reaction can be considered very mild.
Tony felt a terrible dizziness as he looked into those silvery eyes.
Everything makes sense, why Alice has so many contradictions, why she is so elusive, why she is so crazy.
When she faced him, that flattery and obedience seemed to come from the heart without any flaws, but she almost never took the initiative to make any intimate moves towards him, as if she was deliberately maintaining a distance.
She always called him "Mr. Stark" instead of something more intimate.
After she fell into a deep coma, the mutated mouth full of fangs was still screaming "Don't touch me".
She used him as a springboard, she used him, but after she lost her trust in everything, she still wanted to get on the stage at all costs, and let more people hear her singing at all costs—that was her Her obsession is proof that she is alive.Even though she knew she might make the same mistakes again.
But her limited cognition couldn't give her the second optional path.
After her wish came true, she was also determined to the point of horror, and without hesitation, she took what she thought was a more effective method, so familiar with self-suppression and destruction and so easy.
Under that beautiful skin and beautiful voice is a soul that has been completely distorted long ago.
"But you don't have to feel sad about it." The Pope said, "Alice is obviously different to you. He can see whether a person is sincere or false, so he will give you the spirit of the whale."
"Spirit of the whale?" This strange term made Tony slightly startled, and immediately thought of that little white light ball.
"Oh...so he didn't tell you." The Pope raised his eyebrows.
His attitude made Tony especially uneasy, he frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
"His race is very special, and that's why they become livestock and are raised for their crimes." The Pope said, "It's like a pearl hidden in a clamshell. It's half of their souls. To bless others. This kind of blessing can help the beneficiary bear most forms of damage, and can automatically repair. Moreover, this kind of blessing can only be delivered once in a lifetime."
He smiled and looked at Tony, who was completely stunned, and said softly: "If it weren't for the presence of the whale spirit, you would have already collapsed under the frequency pollution of the deep red core...Congratulations."
Tony's pupils trembled, and he took a step back in a daze.
He suddenly remembered Strange's surprised look when he heard that he was not polluted, and his admiration for Alice's blessing.
It's ridiculous that he didn't take this blessing to heart at all at the time, and only regarded it as an enhanced version of Alice's singing.
He even half-joked at the time and said to give them one each-but now he knows how precious this thing is.
He froze for a moment, then said to himself, "I...I must go back to the Avengers headquarters."
"Stark." Bruce looked worried, frowning at him.
Tony raised his hand and stopped him from saying: "We'll talk about this later."
"..." Bruce watched in silence as he turned and walked towards the door of the main church suspended between the stars, and then he turned his head to look at the still smiling calmly the Pope.
"Is this another part of the plan?" He asked coldly.
The Pope looked up at him: "I don't understand what you mean."
"You didn't have to tell him this," Bruce said, "You should know how cruel these truths are to... a father's heart."
The Pope laughed: "It's not a good thing to be too sharp, Bruce. I just don't want any gap between the singer and the Avengers, which will affect their operational efficiency."
"So... this time, you are also ready to abandon your companions, aren't you?" Bruce said.
His voice was deep and deep, as if there was an endless undercurrent.
"...Give up? No."
The pope said, with a calm tone: "As I said, if there is such a day, it will only be the end he pursued."
……
Avengers headquarters.
It was already midnight when Tony arrived.
In fact, he was already very tired. He entered the Secret Star Cathedral twice in one day, and his sanity was on the verge of collapse. However, he didn't know if the blessing of the whale spirit was still in effect, and he didn't feel any physical discomfort. .
He came to the door of Alice's room and stopped again.
By this time, she should be fast asleep.
In fact, Tony still couldn't bring himself to treat her as a man, as if it was a habit, and he couldn't change his mind for a while.
But on second thought, what is the difference between men and women?
Alice is Alice.
They have been unhappy, but this cannot deny that they have also had happiness and warmth.Besides, after the truth became clear, he had no way to criticize Alice anymore.
"Alice has fallen asleep, sir." The voice of artificial intelligence rang softly in his ear.
"...Oh." Tony sighed helplessly.
Should I say that this guy is heartless, or has he become numb with disappointment?
Tony thought for a while, but didn't bother Alice, and simply went back to the room where the detector was located, wanting to sort out the data again.
Then he saw the messy detector worth hundreds of millions destroyed by Alice with a pair of scissors.
Tony: …
Well, very good, no matter what, Alice is really Alice, and will always be his heart-wrenching little padded jacket, the special medicine for low blood pressure.
……
The next day, Tony woke up and found that it was almost noon.
This can't blame him for sleeping late, after all, it can be said that last night was a lot of trouble, and he didn't fall asleep until one or two in the middle of the night.
He thought that he would not be able to fall asleep because of all kinds of things that happened during the day, but the effect of the spirit of the whale is really so powerful that it can easily get rid of all unnecessary negative emotions, even nightmares. eliminated.
He slept deeply and peacefully this time, and when he woke up, he found that it was already high in the sun.
Tony quickly got up from the bed, tidied up briefly, and walked towards Alice.
All the way he was thinking about how to speak.
First of all, Alice must never know that he has learned about her past.
Although that is not a secret that must be hidden, in the final analysis, it is a scar that others will not take the initiative to mention. Even the most open-minded people will not be willing to think of the past full of suffering.
Amidst the confusion of thoughts, he had already arrived at the door of Alice's room.
To be honest, this was the first time he disliked the fact that the road was too short, so short that he had already walked it before he had time to think.
He stretched out his hand to knock on the door, but withdrew it again, thinking to himself: Very well, Tony Stark, there will be a day when you dare not face others.
While he was hesitating, the door opened automatically.
Alice stood at the door. She was wearing a simple shirt and denim shorts. She was dressed neutrally, her hair was tied into a high ponytail, and she looked cautious.
"...Mr. Stark?" She took a step back and whispered.
"Uh, Alice, I... wait, what are you doing?" Before Tony was ready to say anything, he saw a small suitcase behind Alice. A lot of musical scores and daily necessities have been gone, and the whole room has been organized in an orderly manner.
It's hard to imagine that Alice, who usually doesn't do any housework and looks like a spoiled little princess, would take the initiative to do storage, and she does it well.
In the past, Tony might still feel a little puzzled. After learning about Alice's past, he only felt tightness in his chest.
"I'm packing my luggage..." Alice whispered, her eyes drifted a little, as if she didn't dare to look directly at Tony, "I'll move out right away, Mr. Stark."
"Move away? Where to move?" Tony was a little confused.
This child is now a dead person in the official information!
She is now equivalent to a black household, there is no way to find a place to live, and her appearance is so conspicuous, she can be easily recognized by others, and the riots caused by that time may cause the media to explode on the spot.
In this case, where can she go?To sleep in church with the Pope?
"I'll find a place... don't worry, Mr. Stark." Alice said.
She has always been very adaptable.
Her slightly evasive gaze took Tony's breath away.
