[Zhongyingmei] Vampires also want to fall in love

"That's right, I've already passed the grade-skipping exam. If nothing happens, I'll be ready to apply for university this year." Warlock held the phone between his ears and shoulders, and flipped through a page of the book.

In the blink of an eye, it has been three years since Warlock returned to the United States. Many things have happened in these three years. Warlock has grown from a childish boy to a young man. What makes Warlock most happy is that his hair is getting thicker and thicker.

Mr. Dowling chose to cooperate with Howard Stark in the end because he missed his brother. There is a cabinet in Mr. Dowling's study to store his brother's photos and letters.

After Dean Dowling was selected into the Howling Commandos, two-thirds of the letters he sent home were about how brave and righteous his captain was.His admiration for Captain America is beyond words, and he has said more than once that he wants to be buried in the cemetery of American soldiers with Captain America.

In the end, his wish was only half realized, because his contribution on the battlefield was buried in the tomb of American soldiers, and the tomb of Captain America was not far from him.The life and death of Captain America is unknown after the plane crash. The logistics personnel can only take a few clothes and photos from Steve Rogers' personal belongings and bury them in the cemetery. Other more iconic items were sent to the museum.Mr. Dowling thought that if he could really find Captain America's body, it would be considered as fulfilling Dean Dowling's last wish.

It's a pity that Stark Enterprise's scientific research ship has failed in three years, so Howard Stark still insists on investing hundreds of millions of dollars every year in the search for Captain America.

Tony and Howard always like to come to Warlock to complain about Howard's old-fashioned and obsession with Captain America after their disputes.

"You're right. I can do what I teach at school by myself. Why don't I go to university to study what I want to learn. ...Computers are good, but I still want to continue studying mathematics. ... Oh Tony, don't say that, yours There have been breakthroughs in artificial intelligence research, right? You don’t need a novice who just knows about computers to be your assistant..."

"I haven't told my dad yet, he definitely wants me to study law or politics, you know, Dorian, lawyers and officials, I want to be free while I still have the freedom to choose."

Tony experienced emotional Waterloo shortly after he became an adult. His girlfriend Bane stole a lot of Stark Industry secrets from him. When he was suffering and blaming himself for his ignorance , Howard hit him hard again.

Tony, who originally planned to study artificial intelligence while taking over the burden of Stark Industries, directly threw Stark Industries back to Howard, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to artificial intelligence research.

Warlock knew very well that Tony was escaping. As Tony's friend, he could only silently accompany him and wait for him to cheer up.The research and development of artificial intelligence is not going well. All Warlock can do is to help Tony do some simple calculations, and Tony will complete the rest of the core technology.

The constant failures drained Tony's self-confidence and passion. For a while, Tony had doubts about himself. He was emotionally frustrated, failed in business, and even had no hope for the creation he was always proud of. Maybe the genius in others' mouths was just because of To be honest, he is not as good as he imagined.

Confident and proud people are more dangerous than ordinary people when their beliefs are shaken. Warlock will go to Tony whenever he is free. The emotions on Tony are delicious to Warlock.It's just that Warlock didn't have the intention to taste the delicious food. After pulling Tony out of bars and parties several times in succession, he used the ability to seduce the devil.

Other demons induce the most evil and darkest emotions in human beings and lure them to hell, but Warlock uses the ability to seduce to maintain Tony's beautiful beliefs. He dare not tell Cain and others the details of his first seduction .

Fortunately, Warlock's hard work was not in vain. Tony's experiment had a breakthrough half a year ago, and Tony regained his confidence. It's just that the life of being addicted to women and alcohol for more than a year has left an indelible impact on Tony.

Tony's research progressed rapidly, and Warlock finally couldn't keep up with his rhythm, and he left Tony's laboratory a little bit. He himself was going to rein in the precipice, and he didn't really want to become the father of artificial intelligence.

"TV? You know I don't watch TV very much." Tony on the other end of the phone suddenly asked Warlock to turn on the TV immediately, and his tone was so serious that Warlock became nervous.

After digging through three or four drawers, Warlock found the remote control of the TV. He switched the channel to the one designated by Tony. Looking at the blue news summary on the TV, Warlock felt that his blood was congealed.

"The president attended the economic talks, accompanied by Secretary Dowling. A man sneaked into the crowd and shot at the president, accidentally wounding Secretary Dowling."

The voice of the hostess delivering the news passed through Warlock's ears, but couldn't enter his head.Tony called Warlock's name loudly over the phone, asking if he needed a car to take him to the hospital.

After Colin got the news, he came to Warlock's door, and the frequency of knocking on the door lost his usual calmness and haste: "Master Warlock, the master was injured by a gunshot wound. Madam has already rushed to the New York City Central Hospital, let us hurry there."

Warlock got into the car and found that the phone was not disconnected. He rubbed his face with his hand and told Tony that he was going to the hospital before hanging up.

The entrance of the hospital was crowded with radio vans and reporters carrying short cannons, and helicopters were flying in the sky to broadcast in real time.The attack on the president of the United States in the street is already a big news in the world. No matter who is injured, there will be a news boom for at least three months. Everything from the economy to politics to the world situation may be changed.

Colin called Mrs. Dowling in advance, and a team of soldiers with live ammunition took Warlock and Colin in.The reporters were afraid of the guns held by the soldiers, but for the sake of the news, they still closed their eyes and yelled loudly and asked: "Little gentleman, are you a relative of Secretary Dowling? Do you know how Secretary Dowling is doing? How do you feel?" How can I simply say it?"

Colin glanced back at the reporter who was shouting, and wanted to put his hands over Warlock's ears, just like how he had helped Warlock avoid thunder when he was a child.But he suddenly found that Warlock had grown to be about his height, and he was an adult with a sharp edge.

Warlock took a deep breath, without giving the reporters a look, and was escorted into the hospital by soldiers.The moment he entered the door, Warlock cursed the reporter who shouted the loudest, making him dream about the tragic death of his relatives for a week.

The United States has given these journalists too much freedom, and they have become accustomed to stepping on other people's pain in exchange for a headline.Warlock hated this kind of people deeply. As a devil, he didn't have the good quality of repaying evil with kindness.

Warlock and Colin went directly to the sixth floor of the hospital. All the patients in the original wards on the sixth floor were moved to other floors. Except for the four doctors who performed operations, other doctors and nurses were not allowed to enter.

Harriet waited anxiously outside the door of the operating room, and when she saw Warlock, she rushed over and hugged Warlock into her arms.Warlock could feel his mother trembling, the make-up on her face blurred by tears.

He reached out and patted his mother's back to comfort her, feeling Harriet gradually calming down in his arms, and Warlock had the consciousness that he could protect his mother.

"Mom, where are the others?"

Harriet took out a handkerchief from her bag and wiped her tears. She was a little embarrassed to lose her composure in front of her son: "The president was frightened, and he is now in the next ward, where your father's colleagues are all over there."

Warlock was annoyed at the contemptuous treatment of his father by the escorting officers, but he regained his composure the next second.If everyone gathers around the door of the operating room, it will only cause more noise and hinder the operation of doctors in the operating room.

About half an hour later, the indicator light above the operating room door lit up green, which represented the end of the operation.A tightly wrapped doctor came out and signaled the American soldiers who had already put on sterile suits at the door to go in and stand by.

Harley pulled Warlock forward anxiously: "Doctor, how is the operation going? When will my husband come out?"

The doctor took off his mask, revealing an extremely young face: "The operation was successful, and the bullet did not hurt the fatal part. We have already taken out the bullet, and we can just rest for a while."

Warlock's brows moved, he understood rationally that his father's injury was not serious, and that such a big fight was only because of the political implications of the attack on a senior official, but seeing such a doctor who seemed to have just graduated came to the stage to do There is inevitably a kind of distrust in surgery.

Someone over there had already reported the news of the end of the operation to the president, and the president led a large group of people to the door of the operating room.It just so happened that the remaining three surgeons also came out, took off their masks and medical gloves, and walked towards the president.

The chief surgeon and the president talked a lot about the operation and follow-up recuperation. The young doctor stood beside Warlock with his chest folded and let out a disdainful breath from his nasal cavity.

Warlock could feel the suppressed anger from this young doctor. A qualified doctor needs to be responsible to the patient, and also has the obligation to truthfully tell the patient's family members about the patient's situation.Young doctors have done it, but those who have been in the medical system all their lives have not.Young doctors still carry the expectations of young people who have just left school for this society, and have not yet joined forces with this heterogeneous world.

Warlock became curious about the young doctor, and took the initiative to say: "Hello, I am Warlock Dowling, son of Dade Dowling. Thank you very much for your dedication to my father."

"I'm Stephen Strange, a surgeon." Strange didn't expect that Warlock would take the initiative to talk to him, and when he shook hands with Warlock, he missed the signal from the chief surgeon to let him go.

The chief surgeon smiled awkwardly, and called Strange again before continuing to chat with the president: "Strange is the best surgeon among the young doctors in recent years, and his hands are very steady...we discuss Afterwards, it was decided that Strange would be in charge of Mr. Dowling's follow-up recuperation."

The President looked in Strange's direction, and also saw Harriet and Warlock standing with Strange.

The president walked over with a smile, reached out and patted Warlock on the shoulder: "This is Warlock, I always hear Dowling mention you."

Warlock heard the sound of the camera taking pictures while the president was talking to him, and after dealing with the president with a polite smirk, he looked in the direction of the sound, just in time to see a man holding a camera to shoot this way, looking The nameplate on the man's chest is the person in charge of the government's propaganda.

The president was obviously more serious when talking to Harriet than he was talking to Warlock, but the topics were all polite.Afterwards, a group of people went to Dade Dowling's ward in a mighty manner, showing that the president cared about his subordinates.

After the president left with the people, the ward fell silent. Harriet sat in front of the bed with a tired face and held Dade's hand.Strange poked Warlock behind him and handed him two pages of densely handwritten notes.

"Mr. Dowling will definitely hurt when he wakes up. You must be careful not to let him struggle and cause secondary damage to the wound. If you are in doubt, please contact me. Just pull the bell beside the bed."

Warlock looked at the precautions on the paper carefully, and asked casually: "Then what if you are not in the hospital?"

Strange gritted his teeth lightly, wrote the phone number in the medical record and handed it to Warlock: "My phone, don't call me if you have nothing to do, the phone bill is very expensive."

Strange's father passed away due to illness a few months ago, his mother was ill, and his younger sister was still in school. The pressure of the whole family suddenly fell on Strange. The high phone bills are now beyond Strange's burden. started.

Warlock just asked casually, seeing that Strange's expression was not very good, he didn't say anything, just tore off the phone strip and folded it a few folds and stuffed it into his pocket.

Dud Dowling had the best service he could get, and Warlock didn't need to worry about it at all.The only thing he can do when he goes to the hospital every day is to read newspapers to Dade. Dade will ask him to read all the statements of the same event in different newspapers, and then analyze the positions of each newspaper, and analyze the usefulness of the reports from different positions. intelligence.

Warlock continued to read the "New York Daily" that day, and the headline was that the Starks had died in a car accident.This news shocked Dud Dowling and Warlock at the same time. With Dud's acquiescence, Warlock dropped the newspaper and rushed out of the hospital. He didn't wait for Colin to come and drive the car and drove towards Stark Tower.

Jarvis saw Warlock from the surveillance, and quickly opened the door for him: "Master Warlock, did you drive here by yourself?"

"Don't talk about this, what about Tony? I saw the newspaper. Is the news in the newspaper true?"

When Jarvis heard Warlock's barrage of inquiries, his face became depressed: "The news is true. The master and wife died in a car accident. The obituary will be published in the newspaper in the afternoon. Master Tony will publish the news when he knows the news." I locked myself in the workshop, and no one could persuade me to come out."

After confirming Tony's location, Warlock went directly to the workshop. Even though Warlock hadn't come to Stark Tower's workshop to conduct research with Tony for a long time, Tony did not remove Warlock's permission to enter the workshop.

In the workshop, Tony was wearing a black worker's vest and sat on the ground with his back to the door. Manuscript paper and wine bottles were mixed together. The strong smell of alcohol indicated that Tony had drunk a lot.Tony heard the movement at the door, grabbed a glass test tube from the table and threw it over. The test tube smashed against the door and fell apart.

When Warlock dodged, he saw Tony's terrible face. It was an abnormal blue color, which was the body's reaction after mild alcohol poisoning.

"Tony, I know this news is a big blow to you, but you can't numb yourself with alcohol, Jarvis and I are worried about you."

Tony stood up slowly from the ground, kicked the documents in front of him, and the documents scattered.Warlock could just see the letterhead of Stark Enterprises on the document.

"I shouldn't have given this document to Howard, it's all my fault." Tony rubbed his hair painfully, with such force that he seemed to be able to pull it off.

"Tony?"

"I handed my new plan to Howard in the morning and he looked annoyed and said my plan was a whimsical thing. I got into a fight with him for a moment and my mother moved them ahead of time to stop our fight. departure time."

"If I hadn't given the documents to Howard, if I could hold back my temper and not quarrel with him, they wouldn't have left early and the car accident wouldn't have happened. It's all my fault."

Pain was spreading through Tony, and Warlock felt as if Tony was breaking down as he approached Tony.

"You can't blame everything on you. Uncle Howard's cars have undergone strict safety inspections and modifications. The chance of accidents has been minimized. The possibility of death in a car accident is lower than that of aliens landing on the earth. , there must be a problem in the middle."

"Tony, you can't let grief overwhelm you. Many people need you. Uncle Howard and Aunt Maria need you to investigate the truth, Stark Enterprises needs you to stabilize the overall situation, Jarvis needs you, we all need you. "

Tony was silent for a long time, the only thing that could see his inner struggle was his tightly clenched fist, and the veins on the back of his hand made people worry that Tony would smash something in the next second.

"You're right. There must be something wrong behind the car accident. I have to find the black hands and make them pay for Howard and Maria."

Jarvis stood outside the studio and looked at the figures of Tony and Warlock, sighed deeply, and when Tony came out of the studio, he handed over the fifteen-centimeter-thick communication book in his arms to Tony.

"I'll find out the truth, I can," Tony whispered to Jarvis.

Jarvis looked at Tony with a mixture of distressed and sad eyes, nodded silently and turned to leave.Tony looked at Jarvis's back and realized for the first time that Jarvis's back was a little bent, and Jarvis was also getting old, and those who used to protect him from the wind and rain were leaving one by one.

"Warok, I need an assistant. I beg you, come help me." Tony's voice was hoarse, and he deliberately avoided Warlock to let him see his red eye sockets.

Howard and Maria are gone, Jarvis is old, and the closest person to him is Warlock.Warlock can help him very little, but he hopes that someone can be with him during his most difficult time.

Hearing Tony's plea, Warlock felt his heart shiver, and said firmly, "I'll help you until you don't need me."

Tony pulled a far-fetched smile, and took out the car keys from his pocket: "Let's go, we have a lot of things to solve, let's go to Stark Industries first."

Warlock sat on the co-pilot and fastened his seat belt, and suddenly said: "I called the school to apply for a change of major, to study law and minor in mathematics."

"why?"

"Because we can't be willful anymore."
