[Comprehensive Yingmei] I cover this earth

After a while of jumping around.

Alice gnawed happily on the hard-won orange, and narrowed her eyes comfortably: "Mr. Stark is still reliable."

Tony: "..."

Now he just wants to buy himself another basket of apples to stabilize his blood pressure, and an apple a day will keep the doctor away from me.

"I'll go out for a while, you remember to change your clothes, and then..." Tony paused, "Sleep more."

Alice raised her eyes to look at him and said, "Have you been up all night?"

Tony shrugged, showing a nonchalant expression: "I haven't slept for 24 hours, what's the problem?"

"Of course there is!" Alice said seriously.

Then she was silent for a moment, with a hesitant expression on her face, as if she was hesitating about something.

Finally she said firmly, "Come here."

Tony, who had already reached the door, was a little puzzled, but he walked over anyway: "What's wrong?"

Alice held out her hand.

A warm, soft white light cluster suddenly appeared on her palm.

Tony looked at the ball of light, and the moment his eyes made contact, he suddenly felt an indescribable strange feeling like a sea tide.

It was as if suddenly being gently wrapped in a warm, viscous liquid, my whole body relaxed, and my spirit seemed to be purified at this moment, all sounds became far away, and everything seemed to slow down at this moment down.

He heard Alice's voice say softly and slowly: "This is for you, I hope you can sleep well."

Afterwards, he watched the white ball of light turn into a ray of light, circled around him a few times, and then disappeared into the air.

"What is this?" he asked in surprise.

That strange feeling slowly receded, leaving only the soul that seemed to have been washed and purified.

A quiet and peaceful atmosphere enveloped his heart. If it wasn't for the wrong atmosphere, he even felt that he could become a monk on the spot, take out a wooden fish and knock on it for a whole day.

Alice winked at him, and said with a smile, "A blessing—I wish you a sweet dream."

That is a blessing that can only be given once in a lifetime.

A contract, a guardianship, a light that will never fade away.

……

[Tony Stark: sanity value 515/800, pollution degree 4.15%, special state: whale spirit, duration: permanent]

……

After seeing Tony off, Alice changed into her pajamas, then retracted under the covers and took out her mobile phone.

Sure enough, as she expected, her mobile phone was blown up.

Alice picked out the most frequent number from her agent. She tried to dial back, but her finger stopped on the call button.

She squinted her eyes and thought for a while, then slowly deleted all the numbers.

She turned on the TV and looked at the media's speculation about her whereabouts and life and death. A light of thought flashed in her light blue eyes.

The identity of Alice Milia was originally used to hold this concert and draw out the crimson earth core.

Basically, this plan can only be used once. Now that the crimson earth core has a sense of vigilance, it is definitely impossible to use this method to lure him out again.

So if this is the case, the status of a singer is also useless.

Alice looked at the huge headline written on the news channel, and slightly pursed her rosy lips like flowers.

"Alice Milia has lost contact so far, and her life and death are uncertain. Fans outside the ruins of the concert spontaneously prayed for blessings. "

She said softly: "It's time to give an answer."

……

the other side.

After Tony left Alice's room, he took out his cell phone, found a name in the address book, hesitated, and dialed.

"beep--"

There was only one ring, and the phone on the other side had already answered.

"I'm still wondering when you'll call me." Bruce Wayne's calm magnetic voice came, and at the same time, his holographic projection appeared in front of Tony.

"Judging from this determined tone, your information should already be in place?" Tony said.

"Hmm. If my predictions are correct, the attack and explosion that happened in New York last night should have something to do with the Mystic Church," Bruce said.

Questionable sentence pattern, affirmative tone.

"That's right." Tony sat on the sofa, rubbed his eyes, and said, "I think you can explain it well now—what did you mean by being careful about the church that night."

……

The conversation didn't last long, but it was enough for Bruce to convey the information he needed to tell Tony.

"So what she said is true..." Tony frowned and said, "The Old Ones, the Horror of the Moon, the Crimson Earth Core... It seems that human beings really have a lot of not-so-friendly neighbors on Earth. "

He looked at Bruce's projection, raised his eyebrows and said, "I understand now why you allowed the Church of the Secret Star to expand its power in your territory. This is not something we can decide on our own."

"At least the Church of the Secret Star did not do any outrageous acts to harm innocent people." Bruce said, and then he paused, as if recalling something from the past, his bright eyes seemed to dim slightly.

"So, are you still in touch with them now?" Tony asked.

"Most of the time, it's their one-way contact with me," Bruce said.

"It sounds very uncontrollable, but you can bear it." Tony raised his eyebrows, with some habitual jokes in his tone, "So, since you know the purpose of the Secret Star Church, why haven't you put this matter in the past three years?" Tell anyone?"

"Because some things will cause unimaginable consequences just by being known." Bruce said seriously, "Curiosity itself is the most terrible fuse."

Besides, with only the meager strength of the people on earth, what can we do if we know it, and what can we do if we don't know it?

Those who should know have already known it, and the guardians on the other side of the physical world have already discovered this fact, but even so, there is almost nothing they can do, they can only try their best to delay the passage of the last moment. arrival.

Ordinary people know this, but they have been introduced into the mysterious realm early, and either fell into madness, fear, or anxiety about their own powerlessness.In the end, the fate of most people is nothing more than being swallowed up in this crazy vortex without any room for resistance, and finally become the nourishment for the awakening of the gods that have existed since ancient times.

"So, what do you mean by 'be careful with the church'? It sounds like they've been doing good things?" Tony said, frowning.

To be honest, he actually didn't want to associate the church in a bad way.

Perhaps because of his love for the house, Alice is a core member of the church after all, and he subconsciously does not want to believe that the church has other intentions, or that it is not a completely pure and benign organization.

"They've been doing good things," Bruce said, "but they're more about the outcome than the process."

"...It seems that you have some experience?" Tony immediately understood what he meant.

"How much do you know about the Star Nest organization?" Bruce asked.

Tony frowned as soon as he heard this word: "A legendary core organization of the Secret Star Church with extremely powerful supernatural abilities."

"As far as I know, members of Star Nest all joined the organization at the cost of joining Star Nest and becoming the agent of Mystery when they prayed for some help from the gods. They are more like the Church of Mystery Two different organizations are independent of each other and have almost no connection with each other." Bruce said, he seemed to recall something from the past, sighed silently, and said after a moment of silence, "As the representative of the gods they believe in Or, their own abilities determine the upper limit of their effect on the gods—this means that before joining the Star Nest, the stronger their abilities, the greater their effect on the secret star."

"Effect? ​​That doesn't sound like a good word." Tony said, his brows furrowed tightly.

He immediately thought of the delicate and mysterious little girl in his family.

At the cost of joining the star nest, pray to the gods for help?

"Wait a minute—" Tony suddenly thought of something, and said with a frown, "So, is everything they did actually asked them to do by the Eye of the Secret Star? Category?"

So the little girl would self-mutilate, maybe it was because of that eyeball that asked her to do so?

If that's the case, what kind of boss is this Outer God?

Employing and hurting child labor - this is going to be sent to prison on earth!

"I don't know about that." Bruce said, "My knowledge of that Outer God is very limited. Whether Star Nest members can directly contact their Outer God and get instructions from the Outer God, I have doubts for the time being. The form of existence of that Outer God is beyond our comprehension. I searched a lot of information. It is not so much a creature, but rather a kind of... rule, a certain logic algorithm, an abstraction The realization of the concept. Whether he has thought and consciousness is still hard to say, at least there is no evidence to prove this."

"So?" Tony tried to understand everything Bruce said, but he had to admit that he was not an expert in mysticism for the time being.

"What I want to tell you is that the Star Nest organization has a higher-dimensional leader." Bruce continued, his voice was obviously a lot more serious, "They will try their best to recruit some excellent people—or excellent Creatures join them. If they target you, they will do everything possible to create the conditions for you to join the star nest. They will secretly create a dilemma for you that you cannot solve on your own, and create a desperate situation that makes you have to beg the gods Disasters, and under the influence of high-latitude will, all of these are impossible to prevent. So that's what I want to tell you-be careful of the church."

Tony fell silent.

The desperate disaster of having to plead with the gods...

He suddenly wanted to know why Alice joined Star Nest in the first place.

What difficulties did she encounter that could not be solved by her own efforts?

Or, does she have any wish that she would rather sacrifice herself to fulfill?
