Chapter 91 The White Whale 30
……
When Alice regained her consciousness, her eyes were still hazy, as if her vision hadn't fully returned to normal.
She blinked hard, and finally her eyes focused and she saw the scene in front of her clearly.
She is lying in a room with a very modern decoration and full of sense of technology at the moment.
The floor-to-ceiling windows cast sunlight on the metal floor, and the holographic projection on the wall was displaying a lot of data that Alice couldn't understand.There is a pot of green plants in the corner, which has become the only thing full of vitality in the whole room.
She was lying in the soft bed, covered with a soft blanket, and the temperature in the room was so warm and suitable that she couldn't help but squinted her eyes again, wanting to sleep back into the cage.
But the pain that still existed in her shoulder made her more awake, and she could no longer continue to fall asleep.
Realizing this, Alice could only open her eyes again and move lazily.
Her movement was quickly spotted by another person in the room.
"Alice?" came a somewhat hoarse voice.
Alice looked in the direction of the sound, and she saw Tony sitting on the sofa beside him holding a holographic tablet at a glance.
From the other side of the holographic screen, Alice seemed to see some news headlines displayed on the screen.
"Life or death unknown?Alice Milia has not shown up so far, and is suspected to have died in the attack" "Some interviewed concert audiences claimed to have lost some concert-related memories" "The mysterious capital behind Alice announced that it will provide huge compensation to all ticket-buying audiences" ...
Mystery Capital announced compensation?
The movement of the Secret Star Church to control those capitals is really fast.
Tony looked a little tired. He turned off the holographic screen, walked to Alice, and dragged a chair to sit beside her: "How do you feel? Is there anything else uncomfortable?"
Alice glanced over her shoulder.
It still hurts there, but it's not unbearable anymore.Her tolerance to pain is not bad at all, as long as the mutation does not occur, it will not have any effect under normal circumstances.
So she said in a relaxed tone: "I'm much better, Mr. Stark, what happened last night? I seem to have fallen asleep suddenly."
Tony rubbed his face, trying to look as energetic as possible.
He recalled everything that happened last night.
……
Perhaps because of her special constitution, the detailed data of Alice's body has never been detected.Even if Tony put her in the most advanced medical cabin, the wound on her left shoulder showed no sign of healing, and the tear even screamed even more horribly.
With countless sirens glowing red, he had no choice but to hold Alice out, and used emergency techniques to help her bandage the wound on her shoulder again, barely stopping the bleeding.
He even went to the doctor in such a hurry that he tried to inject Alice with the modified Extremis virus, but he was hesitant to do it.
Although he personally improved the Extremis virus, which can greatly enhance the body's healing ability, and basically has no side effects, but God knows if there will be any conflict with Alice's own power. Without experimental samples, he can't Way to take that risk.
Just when he was anxious, the artificial intelligence detected that Alice's vital signs gradually stabilized.
Her shortness of breath gradually stabilized, her feeble heartbeat gradually became stronger, and the painful expression on her face gradually faded away.
Her condition suddenly deteriorates and then suddenly improves, but Tony has not been able to figure out what is going on at all.
Fear always comes from the unknown.
The fear of not being able to control the status quo made him anxious, so he could only contact Strange in the middle of the night, and got an answer from there that made him temporarily relieved.
"It's nothing serious." Strange said after listening to Tony's description, "It's probably the sequelae of some mutations, don't worry, she is a member of Star Nest after all, and she has much more experience in dealing with this situation than we do. .”
"So--her mutation is really incurable?" Tony asked in a low voice outside the room, "Please, balloon pincher, you also came out of an institution of higher learning, think again? Medical costs are not a problem. "
"It's not a matter of the level of medical technology, Stark. What she should consider now is how to prevent the mutation from getting worse." Strange said, "The source of this pollution is too high, and recovery is absolutely impossible of."
After a pause, Strange said in great confusion: "Wait, why do you care about her so much?"
...Do you two know each other that well?Why didn't you see it during the meeting?
Tony was in a terribly upset mood at the moment, so he didn't have time to explain these things, so he hung up the phone after a few perfunctory sentences.
He knew that he probably wouldn't be able to fall asleep tonight, so he simply stayed by Alice's side and kept an eye on her physical condition, and searched for some information by the way—
About the Outer Gods, about the Old Ones, about the Church of the Secret Star, about the Star Nest.
However, the relevant information is too little, so little to despair.He searched for the whole night, but his knowledge of the Eye of the Secret Star was still almost blank.
He realizes that maybe he has to make time for a trip to Gotham.
He had to ask Bruce Wayne exactly what he meant by the phrase "be careful of the church" that he had told him back then.
……
Thinking back to this moment, he looked at Alice, smiled at her as if nothing had happened, and said with a little comfort: "Does your shoulder still hurt?"
Alice sat up, glanced at her shoulders that had been re-wrapped, and said, "...Well, it doesn't hurt too much. Did you bandage it?"
The technique is so skillful, better than her own dressing!
"Uh..." Tony paused, as if he had thought of something, he quickly explained, "I only bandaged the wound and did nothing else—you know what I mean."
In fact, he originally wanted to help the little girl change a dress. In an emergency, he doesn't need to pay too much attention, and he is not that entangled.
But every time he tried to do it, the mouth on Alice's shoulder would tear open the bandage like crazy, and roar in that horrible, hoarse voice, "Don't touch me! Don't touch me! Don't touch me! "
In desperation, Tony could only put a soft coat on Alice and put her in the hospital bed.
Sure enough, when he didn't touch her, that mouth immediately stopped a lot.
Alice didn't expect Tony to say such a sentence suddenly, she was slightly taken aback, then said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I don't care."
don't care?
That's not what your mutated mouth said...
Tony glanced at her left shoulder, and asked hesitantly, "Your left shoulder...I heard it talking yesterday."
Alice's eyes widened slightly, and then she stretched out her hand and tightened the coat tightly, covering her shoulders and chest completely, covering up the change firmly, and then asked cautiously: "It didn't say anything, no?" Okay?"
"...No." Tony said, raising his eyebrows: "Why?"
Alice breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay, if I really want to say something strange, I'll die."
Tony was a little puzzled: "Why? Isn't it an independent entity from you?"
Alice blinked: "Oh...you can think so too."
Tony laughed a little.
This kind of speech again, this unscrupulous little liar has never told any lies, but she can always cover up the truth skillfully in her ambiguous words, or use words that are easily misunderstood. Cover up.
In view of her current poor health, he will not care about her for the time being.
"Do you want to eat something?" Tony asked, looking at Alice's pale face and thinking that the little girl hadn't eaten.
"Woo...I want to eat oranges." Alice said, "the kind that are sweet, cool, and not sour at all."
Tony raised his chin slightly, and the artificial intelligence immediately understood what he meant: "The drone will send it to the Avengers headquarters within 10 minutes."
"Fine." Tony said lightly.
It occurred to him that when he first met Alice, she was complaining about sour oranges.That delicate and self-willed look is like a spoiled little princess who can't bear the slightest grievance.
The same squeamish little girl who couldn't even bear the sourness of oranges was able to endure the severe pain from the terrible laceration on her shoulder, and had such a long meeting with them without showing any abnormality.
Sometimes he really doubted himself, wondered if he really knew Alice Millia.
Alice looked at him carefully, and said softly after a while, "Are you still angry?"
Tony was slightly taken aback.
He did have some anger in his heart last night, but after Alice fell down like this, the unknown fire in his heart was immediately poured thoroughly by this basin of cold water, and it could no longer be ignited.
He sighed helplessly, spread his hands and said, "What else can I be angry with? If I want to be angry again, are you fainting again?"
Alice looked at him with beautiful eyes, and the smile in her eyes grew stronger, and finally she couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Oh, I was wrong, yesterday was a special situation, and it won't happen again next time. "
"So... what else are you hiding from me?" Tony asked sternly, "You'd better confess now."
What else is there?
Alice thought for a while and said, "That day...the warriors came to snatch the charred corpse, but we were actually in the same group."
Tony: "..."
The voice of the artificial intelligence suddenly sounded out of place at this moment: "Sir, it has been detected that your blood pressure has soared, please control your emotions, otherwise we will need to reconsider your healthy diet."
Tony: "..."
More angry!
Tony took several deep breaths before calming down, and said through gritted teeth, "So you weren't actually scared that day?"
"...No." Alice blinked and said innocently, "That thing is really disgusting, but it's still too young to scare me."
A look of disdain and arrogance appeared on her face again, but she quickly noticed that Mr. Stark's face was very strange, and quickly put back the inappropriate expression, and put on an innocent look again. Face.
Tony almost lost his breath: "Then since you weren't scared, why did you hide in the closet and cry?!"
Alice was confused when she heard the words: "Ah? Do I have one? When did it happen?"
Tony, who heard the artificial intelligence blood pressure warning voice again: "..."
At this moment, he suddenly understood a certain agent named Alexander.
Facts have proved that following this little ancestor is really necessary to carry Suxiao Jiuxin Pills and antihypertensive medicine with you! !
