[Comprehensive British and American] Emanuel the autistic

a few days later.

-Early in the morning, Banner was woken up by a phone call.He squinted his eyes and fumbled for a long time before finding the phone. On the phone screen - Tony's face was smiling happily.

"Tony? It's so early, what's the matter?" He pinched the microphone with two fingers, his tone a little confused.

"Really, really?" I don't know what Tony said, Banner immediately woke up, and sat up from the bed, almost collapsed the special bed, "You got a Cybertron Creatures of the stars?"

"Okay, I'll be right there!"

"Huh? What's the point of keeping it a secret?"

"Okay, okay, I got it."

After hanging up the phone, Banner hurriedly got up, dressed and washed, then hurriedly grabbed a piece of oversized bread and went out.

By the time he arrived at his destination, it was already past nine o'clock in the morning.

Banner stuffed the last mouthful of bread into his mouth, chewed it casually a few times before swallowing it, then straightened his neckline and knocked on the door several meters high.

"Hey, you came too late." Tony opened the door, took off his goggles, and looked up at the big green man.

"I went to the wrong place." Banner said helplessly, "I ran to your house, and Emanuel told me that you were not there, so I realized that you should be here."

"Can you go in the door of my house?"

"So I say I'm in the wrong place! And squeeze-squeeze can still get in."

Banner walked into this obviously expanded laboratory while talking, and he saw the Cybertron bird on the shelf and the dense data on the holographic screen, "That is... ..."

"Amazing isn't it?" Tony said.

Banner glanced at the various data and codes displayed on the holographic screen, and suddenly became alert: "These data... Wait, you are studying the existence of this mechanical life form? You are not thinking about being a super robot again Bar?"

"It's not accurate to say that." Tony rarely showed a very serious expression, "They are not robots, although there is a code running component in their thinking, but the complexity is comparable to that of neurons.

They are complete beings with their own souls, although we may not understand the existence of this soul for the time being. "

"temporary?"

"This is the problem." Tony manipulated the holographic screen a few times and pulled the holographic projection of Tinder, "This is the life that is truly full of data beauty, Bruce, this is the gray area between science and supernatural .”

"This really reminds me of Ultron." Banner looked at the spark that seemed to have a life of its own, and said hesitantly, "Tony, this is not fun."

"Relax, Bruce, we're scientists with plenty of failures."

Tony said, "Besides, I don't want to make any super robots this time. I just want to figure out the existence form of this kindling. Or, is there any way to artificially create it."

"It's easy to cross the line, Tony, aren't you afraid of being sued for violating technology ethics?" Banner was startled.

"Listen, Bruce," Tony said seriously, "I just thought at first, if only Iman and I could have a baby, you know, we're kind of reproductively isolated...well, I'm actually I don't know if there is;

Later, I don't know why, I feel more and more that I have to do this thing, and I have to do it successfully. "

"What?" Banner was obviously confused.

"Just a hunch, Bruce, ever since I woke up, I've felt…" Tony said, but he paused.

"Feel what?"

"It feels like I'm connected to that cube fragment." Tony said, "It's just a very vague feeling, like something is vaguely connecting us, which makes me feel a little uncomfortable."

"What does this mean? You and that fragment? Didn't you break away from there?"

"You know, before Iman came back, we had already studied that fragment, but- nothing, couldn't find any breakthrough at all.

But now, I feel that I have the key to this door. As long as I want, I can know all related mysteries at any time. "

"Have you tried it?"

"No..." Tony shook his head.

"I seem to have heard Emanuel mention that that fragment represents part of the power of omniscience." Banner said thoughtfully.

"Yes."

"Then why don't you just accept its knowledge?"

"Because I don't know whether I should have this knowledge or not. In fact, omniscience is a kind of curse in a way. It's dangerous, and it's not my thing at all. I don't want to accept it rashly."

"You don't think that's a - good thing?"

"I don't know, even though I didn't accept it, it was still trying to tell me - something.

These indistinctly transmitted knowledge gave me some kind of revelation...or more like a hint, a prophecy, related to the soul, you know my soul stayed in that cube for a month .

Closer to home, I heard from Steve that you have been studying soul-related research some time ago, so I think you may have some unique insights into this topic. "

"It is true, but I have not actually made any breakthrough progress. We don't have any information at all. We are completely starting from scratch."

"It's different now, we have a ready-made complete body for research."

Tony pointed at the Cybertron Starbird on the shelf with his chin, "So do you want to join me?"

Banner was silent for a moment: "Does Emmanuel know about this?"

"Well..." Tony shrugged, "To be precise, he gave me the little Cybertron bird, which is obviously a tacit consent."

"Did he not say anything else?"

"He also said that if I didn't eat breakfast, he was going to break that record I loved so much lately—

It's a limited collector's edition, and now I can't buy it even if I have money. Strange has always wanted it, and I still count on showing it off in front of him. "

Banner: I- don't even want to know about that, thanks!

Looking at Tony's questioning eyes, Banner fell into deep thought.

Although he always feels that this is a dangerous subject, and there are lessons learned from Ultron, but...

If you just study the principle without practical application, there should be no problem.

Even if something goes wrong, Mr. Green, the thickest thigh on earth, can easily solve it.

Besides, he really wanted to continue the research on the soul that he hadn't been able to complete before.

"Okay..." He nodded, "I joined."

Steve looked at the documents in his hand, frowning.

"This is already the one hundred and 65th incident this week." Natasha threw the photo in her hand on the table, "There is no warning, and she died within 10 minutes after the onset, and it cannot be reversed."

The photo shows a fully crystallized, barely recognizable once-personal object.

"Have you analyzed the composition of these crystals?"

"Well, it's a substance that doesn't exist on Earth, and it doesn't even conform to the chemical rules we know so far. It's extremely unstable."

"..." Steve looked at the crystals on the photo and frowned.

He seemed to have seen a similar scene before.

Where have you seen it?

That scene seemed to be coming out, but it was as if he suddenly encountered some invisible barrier. No matter how he recalled it, he couldn't remember where he saw it.

"Another interesting thing, do you want to hear it?" Natasha's words interrupted his meditation.

"what?"

"A hundred and 65 people, after conducting family background and social activity investigations, were found to have one thing in common."

While talking, Natasha pulled out one after another of the information sheets from the stack of documents on the table.

"This man killed his wife and sexually abused his own son for a long time."

"This man has committed more than a dozen cases of murder and dismemberment in the past four years. The police have never found the murderer. The evidence was not investigated until after his death."

"This person, well, this person has not been fully investigated, but based on the information currently known, he is illegally trafficking people, and all of them are underage girls."

"this person……"

Steve's face became more and more ugly, but he still heard the last with a livid face.

"Is this funny?" he asked.

"These people are not interesting," Natasha said. "The interesting thing is that they all died, and they died for no apparent reason."

"This - 65 people, are all of them in this situation?"

"Except for the first five people—they simply robbed a jewelry store." Natasha said, "Maybe it can be regarded as an attempted murder?"

"Is this jewelry store in New York?" Steve glanced at the relevant information.

"Yes, not far from here," Natasha said, "but other cases come from all over the world. If this is a deliberate serial murder supernatural incident, the size of the team may be beyond our imagination."

"Any other clues?" Steve asked.

Natasha shook her head.

Hawkeye, who was far away in his hometown, said in the holographic communication: "There was also a crystallization incident near my house, but the dead were also the kind who deserved to die. To be honest, if the vigilante gang's targets are all such people Scum, we don't have to stop it."

"The problem is..." Steve said with a serious face, "This is a lynching, and the criteria for the judgment are defined by himself, and no one can control it."

"That's right..." Natasha said, "This is an extremely conceited and arrogant behavior-now they only kill the wicked, what if one day they decide to kill the innocent?

Moreover, even the heinous person should not be handed over to an individual or a certain group to convict. Once it gets out of control, the consequences will be disastrous. "

"I've seen the report you sent over." Hawkeye said, "If this was really done by someone or a group, then their hands and feet are too clean."

It's so clean, it's so clean that it doesn't leave any traces, and it even makes people wonder if there is a Death Note behind the scenes.

The meeting room fell into a dead silence.

After a brief silence, a new message appeared on the holographic projection screen: "The latest news is that another crystallization incident occurred in Toronto. The current total is 66 cases. The specific information has been uploaded to the encrypted server, please check."

"If this continues, the public will panic," Natasha said.

"..." Steve looked at the information displayed on the screen and remained silent.

For some reason, he always had a strong premonition.

The hidden things behind this matter may be heavier than they imagined.

First of all, I would like to apologize to everyone, I have some things to deal with at my hometown, I have to go back tomorrow, and I will not be back until Saturday.

So I will take a leave with everyone. After I come back, I will try my best to see if I can add more. Thank you for your understanding qwq! !
