Chapter 65 The White Whale 04
Right now, on the other side.
"...well, I see, why not try a scalp massage or something, Tony?"
Said a well-mannered man wearing glasses sitting on a sofa.
"Scalp massage? It sounds like my scalp is starting to tingle, maybe I should buy some Indian essential oils or Thai incense?" said the mustache man who collapsed on the sofa, and he held himself down a little bit. "Seriously, Bruce, how do you ever sing a lullaby to that green baby inside you? Why doesn't he ever disturb your sleep like this monster inside me right now?"
Dr. Bruce Banner looked helplessly at the billionaire in front of him.
The man who turned into a puddle of mud on the sofa in front of him is named Tony Stark, the well-known superhero Iron Man, the chairman of Stark Industries, and an anxiety patient.
It may be that the aliens visited New York again last month, which caused his long-standing anxiety attack to flare up again.
This time it was not bad, but he just had more serious insomnia symptoms, and he couldn't sleep well for a month after the onset. Even though he had started to swallow melatonin, the average time to fall asleep was still less than three hours a day.
Now the superhero's willpower can't stand it a bit.
No, Stark decided to transfer his anxiety to others, and let others bear the pain of his inability to sleep.
So in Tony's view, Dr. Banner, who is also full of wisdom, became the first victim and was forced to give him advice here.
"...Although I don't think anxiety and Hulk are the same thing, but since you said lullaby, I thought of a way." Dr. Bruce Banner's eyes flashed a light of inspiration, "You know Sound can really improve the state of mind, right?"
"Oh, my God." Tony put down his hand on his forehead, showing a broken expression, "You don't want me to listen to white noise, do you? I've tried that a long time ago, it's not as good as the BBC The news is so hypnotizing—oh, look at your expression, I guessed wrong? Could it be that you went to the Mystery Church to listen to those lunatic believers who wish they could grow a third eye all day playing the organ?"
"Actually, they don't play the organ..." Dr. Banner couldn't help correcting, "They ring the bell, a kind of bell with reliefs of their gods and gods, which came from Gotham."
"Why do you know them so well? Don't tell me you were fooled into it too." Tony raised his head lazily.
"It's nothing, I just understand a little bit." Banner shrugged, and he pushed some glasses that had slipped off the bridge of his nose. "Of course, what I'm talking about is not the pipe organ, but the music."
"Haha, you should really look at the vinyl of light music that Happy sent me..." Tony almost laughed, but the word collapse was clearly written on his face, "It says it can help sleep , In fact, I opened the label under the packaging bag, and the word "prenatal education" was clearly written on it."
Banner: "..."
Dr. Banner had a slightly helpless elegant smile on the corner of his mouth: "Maybe he's just reminding you in another way that it's time for you to have a baby."
"If I had that function, of course I wouldn't object to listening to prenatal music." Tony rolled his eyes indiscriminately, "So what's your suggestion?"
"I recently discovered a... very special female singer," Dr. Banner said, his voice subconsciously slowing down. "Her songs without words are very relaxing, and really, her voice even Can Hulk calm down."
After hearing this, Tony sat up with interest, and changed from a puddle of mud on the sofa to a puddle of mud on the sofa: "Really? Even the green baby likes it, it's amazing."
"Yeah." Dr. Banner smiled slightly, "It was probably last week, maybe it was a little emotionally unstable, I felt that Hulk was a little... uneasy, and I happened to be listening to the radio at the time, and there was a With her song, Hulk calmed down miraculously."
"Couldn't she be singing some kind of lullaby, the kind for babies?" Tony has been afraid of well ropes for ten years.
"Of course not—her name is Alice Melia." Dr. Banner pronounced the name in a low and steady voice that seemed to be entwined between his lips and teeth, "This is her name, and I went to the record store just for her Several times, but every time it has been sold out."
"On the bright side, at least you finally found something in common with Hulk—" Tony pointed Dr. Banner away with his finger, "They all follow the same star."
chasing stars?
Dr. Banner's pupils trembled, and he suddenly found an accurate description for his behavior during this period of time!
Wait a minute, he seems to be chasing stars!
He was after a little girl who could be his daughter!
But in front of Tony Stark, he still decided to speak hard first, and said with some embarrassment: "Should this not be considered star chasing? Is it?"
Tony shrugged: "Are you asking me?"
"Actually, speaking of this..." Dr. Banner suddenly thought of something, adjusted his glasses awkwardly, and said embarrassedly: "I want to know if you have any channels to buy her records... mine It means that it is really difficult to buy it outside now, even scalpers are out of stock..."
Tony: "..."
He never thought in his life that he could hear the words of buying a record from a scalper from Dr. Bruce Banner...
The most terrifying thing is that he hasn't bought it yet!
Tony almost laughed out loud.
Regardless of whether this suggestion is useful or not, at least he has gained happiness from Dr. Banner, um, not a loss.
……
the next day.
Tony picked up two vinyl records from the table, raised his eyebrows and said, "Is this the legendary record of Millis? Is it so difficult to get it?"
"Alice Milia." Happy stood in front of his table and said with some puzzlement, "I've heard of her, but it's said that most of her songs are limp. It's not my style, so I've never heard of her But I didn't expect her record to be so popular, it's long gone on the market, and I got these two records from the record company's warehouse that hasn't been released yet. But, boss, your black Eye circles look worse."
"If you also get less than ten hours of sleep a week, you also get this Batman-esque eyeshadow... oh, I almost forgot, he's retired now."
As Tony spoke, he looked down at the photo on the record packaging.
In the photo was a girl who looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old.
She was sitting in the deep sea, her long dark brown hair curled onto her bare shoulders, and she was wearing a long indigo dress, revealing her white straight calves and bare feet.The skirt is decorated with a layer of gauze as thin as water, and the bottom of the skirt flows towards the depths of the sea, turning into flowing waves.She is like an elegant gem inlaid in the sea, clear, transparent and pure, with a slightly cold color, but the sweet smile on her face dilutes the sense of distance.
That white, palm-sized face smiled in the waves, with a feeling of almost transparent fragility. Her eyes were bluer than sea water, clearer and purer, with two small diamonds inlaid under the corners of the eyes. It added a little indescribable beauty to her.
"……Wow."
Even Tony, who was used to seeing beauties in various styles, couldn't help but exclaimed: "This is really a good skin. Maybe she went to the wrong set, and she will shine on beauty pageants or on the cover of magazines."
Happy shrugged: "Who said no? She looks like a mermaid princess. My God, I even doubt that she will turn into a bubble in a second."
"I'm starting to worry about her lung capacity." Tony pulled out the vinyl record from the packaging bag, walked to the antique vinyl record player in his collection, and put it on carefully, "Let me try it Well, hopefully her singing is boring enough for me to fall asleep."
The prelude began to sound slowly.
Very classic and traditional cello and piano soundtrack, with melodious melody, adding a little classical temperament to this modern decoration style room.
"Oh... at the beginning, I had a bad premonition." Tony sat on the soft sofa and picked up the projection tablet, "Could it be prenatal music again? Hey happy, remember to put The stack of prenatal education records placed at the door was taken away. There is also another record of Millis, sent to our most powerful avenger."
Happy spread his hands: "Isn't it? Are those records useless at all? The buyer told me it was hypnotic."
"It worked, at least they acted as decorations for the week and made me look like an arty rich who bought records and never listened to them." Tony said casually as he flipped through the latest advisory, "Oh, Queens again It exploded... The spider baby was unharmed, well done."
At this moment, the prelude of the music suddenly changed slightly.
The sound of the cello gradually disappeared, and the piano was still ringing intermittently like a ding-dong spring. Then, the sound of the real water flow gurgled, as if you were suddenly in the jungle, with a clear stream at your feet, and a forest deep in your ears. the piano sound.
Tony raised his head from the projection tablet and glanced at the direction of the vinyl gramophone, while Happy was picking up the stack of prenatal education records that Tony had thrown by the door with a helpless expression.
Then, a female voice sounded.
Gentle, clear, pure, spotless.Her voice seemed to come from the boundless deep sea, surrounded in a closed and dark space, gently touching everyone's ears.
There seemed to be no words in her singing, and the voice she sang seemed to have no real meaning, as if her voice was just some kind of instrument, a kind of instrument born of nature, uncrafted and beautiful as jade.
The moment her voice sounded, Tony felt his heartbeat and breathing slow down involuntarily.
It was like diving into the deep sea in an instant, with the sea surface reflecting the sun above his head and the endless abyss under his feet. He just floated in the soft and cold sea water like this, as if sinking into the cradle of life again. He could even Hearing the heavy heartbeats trembling from the huge and mysterious lives in the ocean, one after another, like a giant drum that is out of reach, drumming out a shocking rhythm.
But that voice was too far away, vast and lonely, like a sea beast that lost its companion, with inexplicable sadness and expectation.
He raised his head in a trance, and in this indescribable shock, he felt a little lazy and tired.
It was a very mysterious feeling.
Both body, mind and soul have stabilized in the boundless deep sea, where people have returned to the most primitive state, the most primitive form of life, everything has been purified and washed away, and all the filth and impurities have disappeared, leaving only the most primitive state. pure form of life.
Anxiety, pain, anger and sadness all disappear in this moment.
He only felt that his mind had fallen into a rare blank, leaving only her singing voice, only those meaningless lyrics, and the looming vast, distant and lonely trembling voice.
A song is only 3 minutes long, but after the song ended, Tony felt that it took him a long time to recover from it, so that he didn't even realize that the projection tablet in his hand had dropped on the sofa corner of .
All of this... is too incredible.
He sat on the sofa, enjoying an unprecedented sense of peace.
This feeling seems to have entered the heart flow, and he can no longer perceive the passage of time, let alone the anxiety that exists every moment after a long period of sleeplessness, like maggots on tarsus.
"Oh..." he said softly, feeling his consciousness gradually withdrawing, "Bruce was right."
Sound is truly healing.
It is not difficult to imagine that Hulk would also be calmed down by such a song. After listening to it, Tony even felt that any creature, as long as it is a creature with the most basic intelligence, would bow down for such a song.
He turned to look at Happy: "This is... unbelievable, maybe this is really useful, I need to get some more... Wait, Happy, are you okay?"
He saw Happy standing by the door with a bag of records that were about to be thrown away, and his whole body fell into a state of sluggishness, as if he had been hit head-on with a sap.
He held the record that was going to be sent to Dr. Banner in his hand, looked at Tony blankly after a long while, and said:
"Boss, this record... can I take it first?"
Tony: …
Do you want to turn fans so fast!
