[Comprehensive Yingmei] I cover this earth

……

After everyone left, Alice looked to Tony.

At this time, only the two of them were left in the meeting room.

Alice glanced at Tony with a happy expression on his face, and shrank his neck.

--Ruined.

The gold master's father looked really angry!

How to do?

How to coax?

Alice, hurry up and use your invincible brain to think of a way!

She immediately reflected on the mistakes she had made that might have made Tony angry.

Just as she was thinking hard, Tony spoke.

"Is there anything you want to say to me?" Tony leaned back in the soft chair, and there was no emotion in his tone of voice. "Some extra explanation or something?"

His usual relaxed tone was completely gone.

Alice was used to having a relaxed conversation with him. At this moment, when he restrained his casual and playful temperament, a sense of oppression that could not be ignored quietly grew, which made Alice a little unaccustomed to it. He looked away unnaturally.

She leaned her elbows on the table, resting her chin on her little hand, and asked with some doubts, "Explain what?"

Is it because the things in the meeting just now were not explained clearly?

It shouldn't be, obviously everyone has no doubts.

Tony was so annoyed by her take-for-granted attitude that he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. He knocked on the table angrily: "If it wasn't because today's incident was exposed, how long would you have kept it from me?"

Alice seemed to be thinking very hard for a while before she suddenly realized: "Wait, Mr. Stark, do you mean that I am a member of Star Nest?"

"Otherwise?" Tony felt that he was about to suffer from high blood pressure.

Alice showed a puzzled expression: "But I told you about this a long time ago."

Tony:?

"Just a few days ago..." Alice blinked, "When you asked me why I wanted all New York to hear my singing."

"When will I..." Tony paused.

He froze.

Alice's answer at that time suddenly appeared in his mind.

——"Actually, I belong to a secret organization. The purpose of this organization is to fight against evil and powerful monsters. Now, a monster has been hiding in New York for a long time, and I held this concert to let the monster in my The song reveals its original shape!"

Tony: …………

Except for not revealing the name of the secret organization "Star Nest", Alice has almost completely told him her purpose.

Maybe if he asked a little more at that time, he would be able to ask the name "Star Nest".

——But who would really take this sentence seriously at that time!

This sounds like a joke that was pulled out by a ghost to relieve embarrassment when being tortured by the soul!

Moreover, Alice's expression was still very serious at the time, which looked more like she was talking nonsense seriously to make him happy!Who would have thought that this was actually the truth!

Tony felt a heart attack and was unable to speak for a long time.

In the end, he looked at Alice's slightly tired face, stood up in desperation, and said, "Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow, I'm tired, maybe a hot bath will be more suitable than a conversation that makes my blood pressure soar." The current situation."

So don't worry about these shitty things now!

Hurry up and go to bed, this little guy who played him around!

After speaking, he opened the door of the conference room and walked out quickly.

...he needs silence.

He soon heard the sound of little leather shoes stepping on the hard floor behind him. Alice trotted out after him, and a soft and pleasant voice came cautiously from behind:

"Mr. Stark, do you need me to sing you a bedtime song? After all, so many things happened today, I'm worried..."

"No. No need." Tony replied almost immediately, "I'm fine, and you should go back early."

Let the current Alice sing to him--for a moment Tony wasn't sure if it was to relax him or to add to his anxiety.

The rattling sound stopped.

Alice didn't catch up anymore, she just stood there, watching the figure that was getting further and further away.

After a while, she asked, "Mr. Stark, are you angry?"

Tony stopped in his tracks.

angry?

Not to be angry.

He just feels fooled.

Some indescribable, vague anger lingered in his heart, and it seemed unreasonable to make any decisions under such circumstances.He didn't even know whether the anger came from the hidden truth, or from his own heartache for Alice's self-harm—

So, he's pretty sure he'll need a while to cool off.

So he didn't look back, but continued to walk forward and said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Alice looked at his back as he walked further and further away, and lowered her eyes somewhat disappointed, her soft eyes looked at the cold and hard metal base.

……

Let's be honest, Avengers HQ is really empty.

The emptiness is to the extreme, but it gives people an indescribable sense of loneliness and suffocation.

She stood at the end of the corridor, listening to the footsteps echoing in the long and narrow corridor, with a slightly melancholy look on her face.

There was a tearing pain in her shoulder, and she lowered her head to look at her mutated wound.She messed it up with bandages and tapes casually. Although she always explained that it was just a mutation, after all, it was a real damage to the body.

After the short-term treatment failed, the mutation was about to move again, and the terrible wound opened a gap under the tape, and the blood seeped out again, soaking the clothes on her shoulders in the blink of an eye.

"...It really hurts." Alice pouted, her eyes flushed physiologically.

She had only seen the wounds caused by the Pope's mutation. When those tentacles split from his body, would he feel the pain as if his flesh and blood had been gouged out?

...How can I hold back!It can be said that the talent is extraordinary!

She was also misled, thinking that the mutation didn't hurt much, and that's why she dared to take the initiative to change it so boldly. If she knew it was so painful, she would be lighter when she did it!

It's all pissed off, and it's all the fault of that Abraear guy!It's okay to pretend to be calm and breezy!

[Warning, singer's pollution level continues to rise, the current pollution level is 29.95%! 】

Hawthorne was a little distressed: "Is it the aftereffect of using a lot of power?"

Obviously after the incident ended for the time being, he never used the singer's body to use his extraordinary power, but the pollution level was still slowly rising, as if he had been given a negative state of bleeding.

It has reached 29.95%, and if it rises further, it may change again.

"I can't help it." Hawthorne felt a little helpless, "Let's leave for now."

……

Confused, Tony walked down the corridor.

He thought he would never be able to sleep tonight.

Maybe he could look up some literature about the Eye of the Mystic, about the Old Ones, and the Crimson Earth Core, or talk to some retired guy in Gotham City about the Church of the Mystic.

Just as he kept trying to divert his attention with plans, he suddenly heard a plop coming from behind him.

It sounded like something had slammed onto hard ground.

He subconsciously turned his head and saw at a glance that at the end of the corridor, the figure standing there in a daze had fallen to the ground at this moment.

His mind went blank for a moment.

When his thinking came to his senses, his body had already moved, and the nanosuit covered his hands and feet in an instant. Under the action of the propeller, he had already come to Alice's side in just a few seconds.

"Alice!?" he called.

Alice lay quietly on the ground, motionless.

It was as if she was suddenly taken away from all vital signs, even her breathing was still, and her whole body didn't fluctuate at all.

Tony quickly squatted down to help her up from the cold ground, but the place where he started was warm and slippery.

He looked down at his palms.

It was already blood red.

At this time, there was also a bloodstain on the ground due to being dragged, and the ominous smell of blood permeated once again.

"Alice? No, no, no, no..." His expression panicked for a moment, "Scan the vital signs!"

The voice of artificial intelligence sounded immediately: "Unstable. Interferenced by unknown frequency, detailed information cannot be obtained."

Another unknown frequency!

Every time I try to scan Alice's body, this unknown frequency will come out and report on time!

But now is clearly not the time to dwell on this issue.

"Open the medical cabin." Tony carefully picked up Alice and flew towards the medical room as smoothly as possible.

He looked down at the little girl's sleeping face with a slightly painful expression, took a deep breath, suppressed the tingling pain from the bottom of his heart, and kept his hands as steady as possible.

Before the meeting just now, Alice treated the wound casually, and did not show any abnormalities. He really treated the wound as a symptom similar to the mutant's physical mutation.

Even when Strange mentioned "pollution", he didn't realize how terrible it was.

It's not because he doesn't care, but because the amount of information tonight is too great, there are too many things to care about, and too much information to process, so that he ignores this problem.

At this moment, the mouth on Alice's shoulder that he was holding suddenly opened wide, and the fangs easily tore apart the tape and bandages, and even tore off the clothes, and the snow-white, blood-stained shoulder was suddenly exposed.

The bright red color became the most unnegligible color in the field of vision. As soon as Tony lowered his head, he saw the bloody, horrible and hideous gap on the originally white and round pearl-like shoulder.

The extremely ferocious mouth full of blood-stained fangs yelled at Tony: "Don't touch me! Don't touch me! Don't touch me!"

That voice was extremely weird, like countless different voices mixed together, countless emotions fused together, weird and terrifying.

Tony felt a buzzing in his head, and the dizziness and nausea made him almost retch.

But his footsteps did not stop, and he still flew straight towards the medical room.

In a trance, he suddenly thought of the scene when he met Alice for the first time.

The little girl was wearing a goose-yellow suspender dress, sitting on the sofa with her little feet up and looking at him, her eyes seemed to be shining with stars.Behind her is the sunshine outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, coating her soft, slightly curly long hair with a layer of dazzling gold, as beautiful as a classical picture scroll.

At this moment, his thoughts became more and more confused due to pollution, and he suddenly realized——

In this, and in countless hot summers in the future, little girls can no longer wear suspender skirts.
