Did Lowes succeed today? [Comprehensive British and American]

When Lowes awoke, Rogers was gone.

Leave no trace.

After searching every room, he sat quietly by the bed for a whole day.The doorbell and the phone rang for a long time, and he remained motionless, like a soul sinking into the depths of his body little by little from his eyes, and finally only one color on the drawing board was left floating on the outside.

The sky changed from blue to bright red, then dark gray, and finally a trace of white again.

There was a noise at the door, Lowes stood up, swayed, and held onto the sideboard next to him to stand firm.Xia En whimpered at his feet, circling anxiously, biting his trousers several times trying to get him to stand up.

After the person stood up, he gave a low cry twice and rubbed against the person's knee.Lowes removed his hand from the cabinet, poured water and dog food for Sean, and walked towards the door.

Since Stanley was able to easily break into Lowes' house, his door has been specially protected. Without the owner's permission, it is very difficult to break in by any means.

No one had a backup key card or other means of access, not even Tony himself.

Tony, who didn't expect to be blocked by the door he designed, had a bad face, "Hurry up!" He urged Happy, who came with a special blasting device.

Strange taunted at the side: "You are very strict, why didn't you think about what to do if he is alone in the house!" When he found the property and was told that there was no way to force the door, Strange's anger reached its peak .

"Shut up!" Tony glared at him, "You live next to him, why can't you take care of him!"

"Can't you just fly and force your way in through the window?" Strange looked down at Happy's movements, irritated.

"...I can't." Tony was short of breath for a moment, "The windows are also re-arranged, and you need a palm cannon to blow them out. Regardless of whether it will hurt the people in the house, the moment they are forcibly destroyed, the entire apartment will be destroyed." It is wrapped in extremely thick solid alloy. Even palm guns can't get in."

Strange...

"However, his physical condition is still normal." Tony remedied, and glanced at his mobile phone, "It's not a heart attack. I set the alarm, and Shane was specially trained..."

The door suddenly opened, and Harpy, who was half-squatting and arranging the device, couldn't control it, and rolled in smoothly.

The two turned their heads together.

"What are you doing?" Lowes looked dull.

"..." Tony looked at the person who looked normal, "What's the matter with you? You don't answer the phone! You don't answer the door either!"

Lowes looked at Strange, "You informed Tony?"

Strange heaved a sigh of relief, and his face darkened again, "You didn't report to the hospital, and there was no response to knocking on the door or calling. The dog didn't move at all either."

Lowes hummed, "I'm sorry, I stayed up last night drawing, and slept through today."

"...Slept? Slept all day."

Lowes glanced over, "No?"

Strange was stunned for a moment, held back, but couldn't hold back, "You think anyone is willing to control you!!" After speaking, he left aggressively.

Lowes watched his back, eyelids drooping a little.

Tony didn't say a word, just stared at him, "Erth, what's going on?"

"It's nothing." Lowes let go of the hand that was holding the doorknob until the knuckles turned white.

"Are you lying to me now?" Tony crossed his arms and signaled Happy to go away first.

"Anthony, we are not blood brothers." Lowes turned sideways slightly, his eyes were cold.

Tony froze, "What?"

"Sometimes, you should respect my privacy more." Lowes pursed his lips and said lightly.

"Just like you, you tell me you have nothing wrong?" Tony laughed angrily.

"It has nothing to do with you." Lowes raised his glasses, "Now, you should leave too."

Tony pressed his foot towards the door, "What if I don't?"

Lowes yelled through the door, "Shawn."

Xia En immediately threw away his dog food bowl and ran out, barking.Lowes turned and left.

Tony looked at one person and one dog in astonishment, "What's wrong with you?!"

Lowes didn't answer, just walked forward.

Tony clicked his tongue, "All right, my little ancestor. Don't go, I'll go! I'll go! Okay?"

Lowes stopped and looked back at him.

Tony hammered the door angrily, "Now, you go back to me and have a good sleep, sober up, let's have a good talk. There is nothing we can't get through, you know?"

Lowes didn't answer.

Tony raised his hand to touch him, and Lowes gave him a look.He withdrew his hand embarrassingly, "Take the gun and the medicine, you are so fierce."

Tony stood on the elevator and watched Lowes turn back into the house with a worried expression on his face.

After getting in the car, he contacted the bodyguard he arranged, "Has he had close contact with anyone recently?"

"Mr. Strange."

"Except him!" Tony was speechless.

"Nothing."

"...Continue to protect secretly. Report to me if there is anything unusual." After hanging up the phone, Tony rubbed his forehead.

Happy comforted his boss, "Mr. Erce is young, it's normal to be awkward."

Tony put his hands on his chest, "Do you think it's normal for him to be awkward?"

Happy was speechless.He felt that was not normal.

Two hours later, the bodyguard reported in a panic that Lowes was missing, including his dog.

As soon as he got home, his buttocks hadn't warmed up, and he didn't wait for the results of the investigation on the psychological problems of teenagers, so Tony went out again.When he arrived at the place, he looked at the neat and tidy house without any living things, and laughed angrily, "The wings are really hard! They even ran away from home!!"

Strange, who came over after hearing the news, didn't speak, just frowned and looked at the empty wall.Tony also saw that none of Lowes' precious paintings remained, and he felt a sudden, "The surveillance in the building was called out. Could it be possible that such a big person really evaporated out of thin air? People can run, but dogs?"

However, the fact is that Lowes really disappeared out of thin air.

Jason entrusted a special search team, but they couldn't find anyone even after using the bureau's system.

Jason, who had been running around for a few days, smiled wryly, "Erth's anti-reconnaissance ability is too strong, and he is too familiar with the technology you have mastered. He wants to hide, but none of us can find it."

Tony's expression was no better than his, "This bastard!"

A week later, I traveled to five cities and deposited all the paintings in the bank safe with several different accounts.Wearing black-rimmed glasses, the hunched Lowes spoke full Scottish English, leading a khaki spotted dog, and got into the van that was on the way.

Destination, Karma Taj.

It has been two years since Lowes left, and no one was notified when he came back, but he didn't deliberately conceal his whereabouts anymore.

Soon, all you need to know is known.

"Sir, your coffee." The woman in a dark green apron walked towards the round table and bent down to put down a cup of coffee.

The man sitting at the table retracted his distant gaze and thanked him.

"Are you here specifically to see Iron Man?" The blond woman hung the tray in front of her, sizing up the guest without a trace.

He should look very young, but he is unusually quiet.Quiet, but incompatible with the hustle and bustle and fireworks, it is mysterious and handsome enough to attract the attention of others.

The man seemed unaware of her scrutiny, and took a sip from his cup.The creamy golden dog coiled around his feet, lazily basking in the not-too-hot sun.

"It sounds like this is your selling point."

The waiter who accidentally saw the ecstasy let out an embarrassment, "...Yes, yes."

The open-air seats in their cafe happened to be able to see the Stark Tower standing in the center of Manhattan. After Iron Man revealed his identity, there was a huge traffic flow. Most of them wanted to see Iron Man flying in the sky. .

The guests in front of me didn't look like locals, and the waiter's first reaction was another visitor.

The man put down the cup, folded his legs, and his lazy posture facing the sun overlapped with the dog nestled under the table for an instant.They are all quiet, but they cannot be ignored.There is a strange incompatibility, like a resting beast.

The waiter thought she might be in a daze, "Sir, you should try it on your day off," she suggested, "he's often at that time..."

There was a strange sound in the sky, and the waiter raised his head and widened his eyes.

The man followed her gaze and saw the golden-red iron man approaching at a terrifying speed.The dog stood up abruptly, tensed all over, and did not bark, but made the waiter take a step back uncontrollably.

The man reached out and patted the dog next to him. The dog whimpered, lay down again, and returned to its lazy look.

The waiter couldn't recover until the golden-red iron man flew closer and closer, and finally landed in front of her with a 'bang'.She gasped. "Mr. Stuss Stark!"

"Tony is fine. Ma'am, Coke, thank you." Iron Man danced his hand.

"Oh, yes, OK." The waiter ran into the room with a flushed face.Looking back during the gap, I saw Stark sitting opposite the guest.

Do they know each other?

The iron mask lifted, revealing Tony's stinky face.

"Hi." The man nestled in the chair, with his hands on his knees.

Tony's face twisted.

The man didn't wait for a response, so he went to touch the cup in front of him.

Tony slammed the table down, spilling all the coffee on the man's light beige trench coat.The brown mark became bigger and bigger. The man exhaled, lifted the cup, and took a tissue from the table to wipe his clothes.

The sound of tearing car brakes was heard by the restaurant, and Happy arrived at the scene in a hurry, and simply cleared the scene for his boss, so as to prevent the quarrel or fight from ending badly.

"Crazy poor, short of a piece of clothing?" Tony couldn't get out of his sulking, seeing that he was still wiping, his tone was very angry.

"Well," the man put down the napkin, making sure that he couldn't wipe it clean. "This is the only decent clothes I have. I changed it specially to get into Stark Tower, but I still can't get in."

Tony twitched his forehead, and let out most of his anger inexplicably, "Then you won't come back?" After speaking, he patted the table again. "In order not to let us find out, you didn't even touch your own account, did you? Why didn't you starve to death outside!!"

The waiter came over with drinks, Tony reluctantly put away his fire and thanked him.

"Almost." Lowes shrugged slightly.He lingered in Kathmandu for a long time, but Master Gu Yi never appeared on purpose as if on purpose.

All the clues he found ended without a problem. He wandered there for a long time, and almost starved to death, when the person he was looking for appeared.

Tony's eyes lingered on him, no matter how he looked at him, he felt that he was as thin as a bone, and his brows were tightly frowned, "Erth, what the hell did you do?"

Lowes tilted his head slightly, and shook his feet lightly against Shane, "Going on a pilgrimage."

"what?!"

"Do you know about monks?" Lowes smiled.

Tony laughed angrily, "Why did you suddenly disappear from playing games? Is it because the four elements are empty and you have gone to practice??"

"I don't know anything about occultism, so I have to find seniors." Lowes stroked the wall of the cup with his fingers, his eyes deep.

"...you are a lunatic." Tony pressed his throbbing temple, "I will be mad at you sooner or later."

Lowes shifted his gaze to the faint dark blue veins deep in his neck, "Your death must have nothing to do with me."

Tony froze and jerked his body up, trying to cover up the abnormally colored blood vessels.

"How long have you been poisoned?" Lowes raised his cheek.The first-generation reactor element used palladium, which was good for powering the machine, but it was loaded on the human body for a long time, so metal poisoning is no joke.

"..." The corner of Tony's mouth twitched, "Now that you think about it, you care about me? It's too late!"

"The original idea of ​​the reactor was proposed by Uncle Howard. You didn't want to ask him?" Lowes remembered that the new element structure that could replace palladium was thought up by Howard, but it has been shelved because there is not enough technology to realize it.

Tony rolled his tongue in his mouth, "I didn't tell anyone."

Lowes raised an eyebrow.

Tony leaned back lazily on the back of the chair, with indifference written all over his face, "You're the only one who knows."

Lowes also leaned back in the chair, "You're not very smart."

"I'm like a bomb now." Tony flicked the bright circle on his chest with his fingers, and lowered his voice, "Once it explodes, the people around us will be devastated.

The funniest thing is that there are some idiots who can't wait to get this bomb of mine in their own homes. ’ Tony sneered.

"It might be on someone else. But, you are a weapon expert, Tony. There are no ordinary people around you, we are all EOD experts." Lowes turned his eyes and smiled subtly, "Don't use your fragile boyish heart with you. in this regard."

"Ha!" Tony slapped the table again because he knew that the gloom that he didn't have a long time left suddenly dissipated, "You are a person who is in a bad mood and is going to practice, what right do you have to say that about me!"

Lowes didn't speak, and turned his gaze to the void again.

Tony felt much more relaxed.It's not comfortable to bear these things alone, and Lowes' departure made him often wonder where to find someone to expose himself without hesitation.

Palladium metal poisoning, no replacement element can be found.Many forces covet their own reactors.Now I have handed over the group to Pepper, but she needs to be escorted by herself, but I have let her down time and time again.

... Pepper.

When the ability is greater, the responsibility of guarding is so heavy that I can't breathe, and I can't show a little weakness.He doesn't think he can't, it's just that the uncontrollable passing of life still makes him anxious.

It's not fear, it's unwillingness, it's worrying that I haven't prepared enough.

"You're making it sound like you're sure I can solve this little problem." Tony was silent for a while, and for a while, he pointed his finger at his reactor to tease.

"Yes." Lowes smiled, "You can't, there's me."

Tony grinned uncontrollably, and then closed it again, struggling with the question of whether to give him a good face so quickly, very uncomfortable.

"I will open a research institute after graduation." Lowes turned his head and said.

"...Did you graduate?" Tony mocked.

"The materials for my internship at the local clinic in Kathmandu, Himalayas have been sent to the proctor, and enough papers for graduation have been published." Lowes tilted his body slightly, "Or, are you making redundant Worried about my graduation defense?"

"...Didn't you go to practice?" Tony didn't want to give him a good face.

"Monks are not allowed to do good deeds?" Lowes didn't want to mention these things.It is not a comfortable experience to be under the pressure of Gu Yi for free consultation.

Tony reacted, "You actually went to the plateau alone! You are dying!!"

Lowes watched him slap the table and stood up, "You were so startled, you scared me out of a heart attack and killed me?"

"...You are either like those movies, or you feel that your life is meaningless. You were born with a disease, but you are born to live such a boring life, which suppresses your crazy temper, and you simply look for excitement and death. As a result, in a remote clinic, he treated others, and he himself was redeemed, and his spirit was sublimated. He was reborn, and he planned to come out to benefit the world—”

Lowes watched silently as he said this for a long time, and then said slowly, "Long time no see, do you have a talent for screenwriting?"

Tony looked at him, and the more he looked, the more he felt like he had let go of something, and his spirit had really been sublimated, "You tell the truth, I'm not laughing at you."

Lowes..."I lost my patron saint, so I want to find someone who has more achievements in the occult to see if I can get it back. For this reason, I made a promise to save 1 people. Then I It did, and that person taught me what I needed.

But, unfortunately, even if I have those mysterious abilities.My Patronus just disappeared.Can't find it. "

Tony... "I've known from a long time ago that your literature is good."

Lowes smiled subtly, showing a mutual look.

"What now? I gave up, so I ran back in despair?" Tony knocked on the table, his depression dissipated.

"No." Lowes looked far away at the road, "I have another plan."

"Oh?"

Lowes smiled slightly, "Want to invest in my research institute? I can give you some money."

Tony snorted, "Have you studied all the names?"

Lowes glanced around and saw the dozing Shane, "Well, it's Shane."
