After the whitewashing of Chaoying, they were reborn [Comprehensive Yingmei]

Sasha spent a month under observation at S.H.I.E.L.D. Hospital.

At first, he didn't talk to anyone.

There was no reaction to the outside world, just looking out the window with a pair of clear green eyes.

I don't even know what I'm looking at.

He never made a sound when the special agent responsible for recording the medical condition came periodically to ask how he was doing.

Only when Sasha's mother, Hilda Atwell, held his hands and asked softly, did she get an answer.

Only then did Sasha point to the horizon outside the window, and asked in a low voice, "Can you, see that...?"

Both the Atwells and the agents looked out.

But outside is the clear blue sky, cloudless, nothing.

Sasha's father, Johnson Atwell, saw this and quickly answered:

"I saw Thor fly over with his hammer!"

Sasha: "No...it's a big clock, like a transparent shadow. Can you see it?"

They stretched their heads and looked for a long time, but they really couldn't see anything.

So Sasha nodded and stopped talking again.

Coulson came to visit him in the ward.

He brought inferences from S.H.I.E.L.D.: "Have you ever heard of a term—'Sparkle'?"

The Atwells clutched their son's hand, looking bewildered.

Coulson: "This is specifically used to refer to a situation-someone suddenly disappears at a certain moment, and after a period of time, he returns at the age when he disappeared. Since the establishment of S.H.I.E.L.D. There are countless people who have experienced the "flickering", and the reasons are also various, such as alien abduction, being hit by spherical lightning, falling into the rift of an interdimensional event, etc., all of which may happen. Some people come back with memories, some People don't."

Johnson: "Why is it called 'Sparkle'?"

Coulson: "It's just a conventional name. Because most of the people who experienced the disappearance event disappeared as suddenly as snapping their fingers, so this term gradually came into being. Just like in Asia, this kind of event Often referred to as 'Shen Yin'."

He was explaining to the couple when he saw Sasha's green eyes move and slowly turn to look at him.

Sasha's speech was still a bit vague: "...why...could it be, did you hit... snap your fingers?"

Coulson didn't understand for a moment, and only explained: "It's not like someone snapped their fingers. It's just a metaphor."

Sasha nodded slowly and fell silent again.

The third time he spoke, he asked Coulson if he could have a cell phone or a tablet.

Coulson found a tablet for him.Sasha swiped slowly with his fingers, starting from the 2012 news and looking back, focusing on 2015.

When he was watching the news, there was finally an expression on Mu Leng Leng's little face, and the expression looked very magical.

Hilda was by his side day and night, holding a water glass and feeding Sasha with milk.

"...news report on January 2020, 1, New York time. Today is the special day of the fourth anniversary of the administration of US President Lex Luthor. Former presidential candidate and old opponent Trump edited hundreds of tweets in one day , continued to criticize Luther and his ruling team'X Gene Empowerment Act'. Luther's team stated that genetic variability itself shows a certain possibility of human evolution, which has nothing to do..."

…Sasha spat out a mouthful of milk.

Hilda was startled, and wiped his mouth: "Zai Zai, what's wrong with you?"

Sasha pointed at the abnormally bright head on the screen, confusedly: "This... Lex Luthor... he ran for president in 16, and he... succeeded???"

Hilda hurriedly explained to him: "During the 2016 general election, the American people could only choose one of Trump and Hillary, and many people suffered from anxiety because of this. Then the president of Lex Group stepped forward, At that time, he became the savior of the people of the whole country."

Sasha: "...Oh."

Oh finished, continue to watch the news.

He holds the tablet while eating and sleeping, and the sound of news broadcasts is heard in the ward from morning till night.

"...The extremely controversial 'X Gene Empowerment Act' passed the final vote of the House of Representatives, and mutant leader Charles Xavier became Time Magazine's Person of the Year and was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize..."

"...Russian supermodel dictating 7 days and 6 nights with Bruce Wayne!

"She broke the news to "Gotham Night Weekly" that the top rich man Bruce Wayne actually owns a private castle covering an area of ​​51000 square meters on a primitive ecological island in France!

"The castle cost 3.2 million US dollars to renovate. Obviously, the owner hopes that this castle can make his beautiful guests no longer want to live in other men's houses..."

"...When "Gotham Night Weekly" asked the person concerned, Mr. Wayne obviously didn't hear clearly, 'You asked about the island? Oh, that is indeed one of the private islands I bought'..."

"...Today's hot topic, a group of girls from Florida, launched a voting topic on 'thetoptens' - 'the most perfect buttocks', swept the headlines of all major entertainment news within a few hours, and the popularity once overshadowed the presidential election year... …

"'I can only choose one of Spiderman Captain America Nightwing is to kill me', more than 40 netizens said that this will be one of the most difficult choices in 2020..."

"...San Francisco Economic Times reported. According to the latest report of the San Francisco Institute of Economics, San Francisco's economy has surpassed that of Saudi Arabia, with an annual economic growth rate of 6.3%, which is nearly three times the economic growth rate of the United States. Obviously, Tony S. Tucker’s decision that was criticized by all analysts in 2013—moving the core technology department of Stark Industries to San Francisco, greatly boosting the local employment rate, investing heavily in local education and technology talents, etc., has now all become A cornerstone of San Francisco's status as the 'Tech Heart'..."

"...has left the earth last year, and is still missing. NASA released a photo a few days ago, which is suspected to be a superman who was making a space transition a year ago, one light-year away from the earth..."

Sasha didn't talk to anyone, just watched the news in the ward, and the two men were talking quietly in the corridor outside the ward.

Coulson: "Don't worry too much, Johnson. When the Bureau brought Captain America back, he reviewed the news for five full months, from 5 to 1945. This process is actually adapting to this world Sasha no longer stares out the window in a daze, but chooses to fill in the information in the time fault, which is actually a very good sign."

As a friend of the Atwell family, and also a half-outsider, he knew that the Atwell couple had been caught in great excitement and anxiety these days, and they were probably going to be mentally split.

Johnson buried his face in his hands: "But Sasha...my little boy, he's 18! Not a WWII GI! He just attended his high school graduation before he got on that goddamn subway During the ceremony, he happily hugged us... If I didn't go to duty that day, I could just take Sasha to play anywhere, or I could just be on that subway with him... Why did he have to bear this? why it's not me?"

Coulson shook his shoulder.

He is not the father after all, so he can only whisper at this moment: "It's good when I come back."

The door of the ward was gently opened, and the men turned their heads, and the blond boy in the snow-white hospital gown came out silently holding the tablet.

Johnson wiped his face in a hurry: "Sasha, do you need anything? Are you hungry? Or is the tablet dead? I'll find you a charger."

Sasha: "I want to...go to the toilet..."

Johnson's first reaction was to follow, but was stopped by Coulson, only to find that the toilet was just a few steps away at the corner of the corridor.

The old policeman rubbed his hands, neither sitting nor standing, he didn't know what to do in front of his lost son.

Sasha pointed to Hilda who was dozing on the pillow in the ward again, "She... fell asleep, maybe you... keep your voice down."

Johnson hurriedly said, "Okay, okay..."

The boy walked slowly to the toilet.

For some reason, his left leg looked a little limp, as if he wasn't used to putting his weight on it.

But the hospital's examination report has given that his body is very healthy, even better than his condition of having a cold and a small fever from time to time before he disappeared in the New York War.The leg also showed no signs of injury at all.

Sasha paused, then turned back.

"Dad." He said softly, still with a sense of sluggishness characteristic of severe depression, "Don't... worry. Just... give me a little more time."

……

During her second week in the hospital, Sasha's brain officially began to function.

He roughly sorted out what the whole thing happened from the perspective of S.H.I.E.L.D.

On May 2012, 5, the battle in New York.

The subway he was on was smashed by a group of Chitauri, causing many casualties.Johnson, who was a senior police inspector in Manhattan at the time, searched the entire car, but did not find his son's body.

The Chitauri army has biomechanical builds, exceptional strength and armor, and technology far beyond Earth.In the follow-up investigation of S.H.I.E.L.D., they found that they had weapon technology that could directly decompose people into molecules, and wondered whether Sasha could not find the corpse because of this.

Multiple searches were fruitless, and the New York police could only identify Sasha Atwell as a dead person.

For a father, Johnson absolutely cannot accept that the golden-haired cub who used to ride on his shoulders with his feet up finally ended up in such a cruel way of death.

For 8 years, he did not give up searching.

He would rather believe that Sasha had entered another dimension, another space, than that his child was dead.

Until 2020, a very ordinary day.

In the Times Square subway station, more than a thousand people witnessed with their own eyes that the stars converged into the shape of a young man.

It took a little effort for S.H.I.E.L.D. to suppress the public opinion and take Sasha back to S.H.I.E.L.D. hospital.

This is the "flickering" event viewed from the perspective of Coulson and those who don't know.

From Sasha's point of view, it's another story.

From the moment Sasha's body disappeared in this world, it meant that he had signed a contract with the main system.

From then on, the body dissipated, the soul was pulled out, and began to be sent to one after another doomsday world to do tasks.

And once it is independent of the original world line, the time passing by him will no longer be synchronized with the original world.

Since leaving this world, Sasha has spent decades in different mission worlds with different bodies.He bound an auxiliary system called [Drawing Card System 29-1], walked through dozens of mission worlds, lost his memory in the world of Cthulhu, and finally arrived at [Dystopia], committed suicide and left in severe depression and hallucinations.

——However, about [dystopia].

He turned his head to the side, the luminous footless bird was still stuck to his shoulder, it was so small that it seemed impossible to shake it off.

Her chubby chest was heaving and falling, and she was dozing off with her eyes squinted.

The tired bird on his shoulder is a transparent phantom like a mobilization mark, only he can see it.

... At the same time, he could also see a huge phantom clock on the horizon outside the window of the ward.

Give him a hundred heads when he lost his memory, and he wouldn't even guess it.

[Dystopia] turned out to be his native world.

In other words, when he died in the New York War in 2012, it was impossible to imagine that in 2015, the situation in his original world would take a turn for the worse and become the task world selected by the main system.

Manhattan is a long and narrow island city that connects the metropolis at its southernmost point.

The Rebel base is under the former Stark Building in the center of Manhattan, and the Atwell family lives in lower Manhattan, just next to the metropolis.

If it is on that extremely cruel timeline.

In the 2015 Metropolis nuclear bombing, the Atwells have most likely been...

He didn't dare to think about it.

When he found out that his original world was [Dystopia], the first thing he did was to carefully check the news in 2015.

Nothing at all.

Not only was the nuclear bombing of the metropolis that caused a global sensation back then, but it was also a big event on the axis of good and evil. In this timeline of 2015, the world was peaceful, and there was not even a single large-scale superpower crime case.

SHIELD may have experienced countless battles and purges, and the Avengers have fought hundreds of rounds with Hydra, but obviously, these battles will not appear in the news reports on the bright side. So Sasha couldn't figure it out either.

He even searched every corner of the Gotham newspapers, but found no reports of the Joker.

This confuses him.

Because the reality is not like the situation he once worried about, Batman breaking the ring and killing the Joker.On the contrary, it seems that the clown has never been born in this world.

Apparently, because of him launching [Reverse Clock], this world has already used 2012 as the point of divergence, and a brand new restart timeline has been born.

And on this timeline, the task of the bell keeper seems to have been overfulfilled.

Sasha looked at the answer and felt shocked.

He put down the tablet and stopped watching the news day and night.

For a while before he was discharged from the hospital, he didn't intend to think about anything, just wanted to spend more time talking to the Atwells.

After Sasha woke up, several post-traumatic psychologists came and went in the ward, all of whom were senior experts hired by the Atwells.

In everyone's general perception, for a child who has just graduated from high school, experiencing such a terrible disaster will definitely leave indelible psychological trauma, and the Atwells have also done long-term psychological rehabilitation early preparation.

Just one thing, the psychiatrists did have a headache: Sasha was indeed found to be suffering from severe depression, but it has not been possible to determine whether PTSD is the cause-they can't find the source.

Generally speaking, people who have experienced major disasters will show strong incompatibility to flashes, explosions, and places similar to the place where the incident occurred, and show compulsive avoidance behaviors.

After the Great War in New York, about 20% of people in Manhattan suffered from PTSD. Many people could no longer go to open areas, and often tossed and turned because of anxiety.

But when the doctors showed Sasha similar pictures, Sasha’s physical characteristics did not change significantly—they found that Sasha was not afraid of guns, bleeding, pictures of fleeing people at all, and even the Chitauri people who normal people would feel uncomfortable He didn't respond at all to the wreckage map.

... To be honest, this seems to be beyond the capacity of an 18-year-old boy.

"...the most typical feature of PTSD patients is the compulsive 'flight or fight'. Sasha does not seem to have this symptom presentation..."

Every psychologist who walked out of the ward often lost a large piece of hair roots that were already crumbling.

The doctors had no choice but to follow the rules and give the Atwells recovery advice, "regular medication, an absolutely safe environment-and most importantly, sufficient love."

Sasha held a medicine bottle in his hand, and put the medicine into his mouth obediently every day.

What did the Atwells talk about with Coulson outside the ward, and when they came in again, Hilda asked him softly:

"Let's get out of the hospital, okay? Mom and Dad will take you home. After you're gone...we haven't touched your room, just go in and clean it every day. Would you like to rest at home, Sasha? Right here in your In the small room?"

The small pill on Sasha's fingertips suddenly fell on the quilt.

"I do," he said softly.

……

The last physical examination at the S.H.I.E.L.D. Hospital confirmed that there was nothing abnormal. Sasha signed the discharge agreement and followed the Atwells to go home.

Before leaving, Agent Coulson, who was meticulous and careful, even gave him a discharge gift.

He said: "Sasha, I wish you a smooth and happy new life after you are discharged from the hospital."

Sasha had already changed out of his hospital gown and put on the new sweater his mother knitted for him.

Her fair face seemed rounded by the Atwells.

His body is also blond and blue-eyed, but his facial features don't have any resemblance to the task body of "Eve"—thank God.When he took back his main body and looked in the mirror for the first time, this idea immediately flooded into his mind.

Compared with the beautiful and melancholic template facial features that couldn't pick out any flaws, Sasha's original appearance was of an unusually bright and flamboyant type.

The corners of the eyes are slightly raised, and they are a pair of peach blossom eyes that are a bit sly.

If he smiles, the eyebrows and the corners of the mouth will bend together, like a little rascal who is born without sorrow.

He silently took the card tied with a ribbon, "Thank you, Mr. Coulson."

Coulson suggested: "Open the card and have a look, maybe you like it."

Sasha took it apart.

It's a signed photo.

A man with a mustache and extremely handsome eyebrows, bit his sunglasses leg and winked at the camera.Probably because the flashlight was too dazzling, the expression in those brown eyes seemed a bit hazy and dangerous.

Sasha: "..."

Coulson: "I heard Johnson say that you have always liked Iron Man..."

Sasha: "..."

The agent looked at his expression and silently took it back.

Coulson: "...Well, haha, it seems that you have taken off your fans. This is also normal, people will always grow up..."

Sasha followed the Atwells home.

"At the school, Coulson has already helped us deal with it. Sasha, don't think about anything first, and rest at home for a while. Don't be afraid, Mom and Dad have already asked for leave, and we will be with you every day. "

Johnson rattled the apartment door with his key.

The Atwell family is a reorganized family composed of policemen and researchers. They are not particularly rich, but their savings over the years can allow them to buy a small nest in Manhattan where every inch of land is expensive.

The couple entered the door one after the other, and tidied up the living room in a hurry, only to find that they had lost Zai Zai.

Hilda asked anxiously, "Where's Sasha?"

They hurriedly searched back the same way, and found Sasha was still at the door, standing with two plush slippers on.

The sleeves were a bit long, and the young man hid his hands inside, looking inside anxiously.

...it looked like he didn't dare to come in.

Hilda said softly: "Zai Zai, what's the matter with you? Come in and lie down, I'll cut some fruit for you..."

Sasha walked in silently just behind her mother.

There was an orange light in the porch, and a small sofa by the door.

Due to work reasons, the Atwells often need to work overtime until late at night.When he was young, he would lie on the sofa and wait, but he always waited until he fell asleep.

He also saw his room.

The wooden floor was wiped clean, dark blue mattresses and quilts, bookshelves crowded with a pile of comic books, and computers and game consoles beside the desk.The Atwells had tried to put him in order, but it was crowded, like all boys' rooms.

It is exactly the same as all the memory pictures brought by the tired bird.

...It's not far from his imagination of lying on scp-999's body day and night when he had no memory.

Sasha stopped and walked, still a little dazed.Every time I see something, I stare at it in a daze.

He kept his hands cramped into the sleeves of his sweater, not daring to touch anything, as if he was afraid of breaking something in someone else's house.

Hilda looked at his pitiful appearance, and her eyes couldn't help sour.

Just wanted to rush over and hug Sasha.

Quietly stopped by Johnson.

Johnson: "The doctor said that we should not react too violently, and try to restore the previous rhythm of life, otherwise it will be more difficult for Sasha to accept. Let Sasha stay alone for a while. Give him more time to adapt, this kind of Things for a kid, really..."

Sasha walked into her room, looked around, and finally found a box of small diaries from under the bed with ease.

The handwriting in the diary was round and ugly, as if it was about to fall off the edge.

There was no smoke in the room.He subconsciously bit his fingertips and confirmed the words recorded inside one by one.

When I was in kindergarten, I was almost carried into the car by a moron and kidnapped. When I was young, I lost a tooth while eating. When I was 16, I bought another Iron Man figure with pocket money. When I was 17, the figure was broken by a friend. He also remembers one thing clearly.

I heard that when people are dreaming, the words will become illogical and it is difficult to distinguish the meaning.

He used this rule to see through several dreams and hallucinations about going home.

But now, Sasha checked her diary and flipped through the books in the bookcase for a while, and found no semantic problems.

He slowly fell down on the bed, covering his face with the diary.

He fell on the bed, and the little tired bird on his shoulder fell off and rolled around on the pillow.

Sasha: [Can you talk to me? 】

Sasha: 【Do you know why you activated it? 】

Sasha: [Didn't you say you can only choose one? 】

Sasha: [Didn't you have been broken at that time? 】

The tired bird looks small and cute, and it also has the dignity of being a top god card.

When mortals asked it questions, it didn't respond at all, its eyes were squinted, and it was still dozing off.

Sasha: [Dog system, do you know what's going on? 】

Sasha: [The dog system said: How can a fool like me understand about the ssr boss? 】

After habitually humiliating the system for a while, he remembered that in the world of Cthulhu, the system was punished and reset by the main system in order to save him.

Stop humiliating, and slowly put your hands on your eyes.

He has already memorized the functions of [ssr·Tired Bird] by heart.

After activation, the host immediately returns to the original world, restores the memory, restores the state of full blood, and restores all the props used in the backpack.

The backpack and the system are essentially plug-ins lent by the main system to the survival host. The backpack ability is carried on the dog system, so once the dog system is controlled, his ability can no longer be used.

Tired Bird's card stated everything clearly, except that when Sasha returned to his original world, where would the subsystems bound to him go.

He still felt that there was a high probability that the launch of Tired Bird would be a dream.

But how can the dead dream?

He couldn't figure it out.

But even though he felt that he was in a dream, he couldn't help deducing it seriously.

Tired Bird is equivalent to completely letting him end the survival game, so as the symbol of the survival host, the dog system that accompanied him to the last moment will probably end the mission and leave, right?

He said goodbye to many people, but he never said goodbye to the dog system.

He thought to himself, everything has been hard, and it is good to be able to rest.I only hope that his 10 points will allow the main system to give 29-1 a little red flower, and let him fish every day with pay.

After waking up in the ward, she was accompanied by her parents from morning to night, and now she was alone, Sasha instinctively wanted to open her backpack and take inventory.

As soon as the backpack was opened, wow——

The entire room was filled with prop cards gushing out like a wave.

Even though he knew that Tired Bird had the function of recovering all the used props, such a grand event still made him stunned on the spot.

There is also a trumpet-shaped switch floating in front of him.

Sasha froze for a moment, then reached out to poke.

In my mind, a super loud mechanical sound exploded in an instant.

[*%#...@%&...dog host! ! !You finally opened your backpack! ! !Sharks ruled!Beep!Sharks ruled! !Baba! !Sharks ruled! ! !Beep...]

... He turned off the switch expressionlessly.
