Temptation on the tip of the tongue

"Something went wrong, boss."

Wade rushed into Loki's room, his hand holding the instrument was almost trembling: "Chen Xiaoxiao is gone."

Ralph's reaction was the quickest: "Impossible, with Chen Xiaoxiao's own abilities, she couldn't take off that bracelet. We didn't receive an alarm."

Wade said: "She can't do it by herself, but what if someone helps her? I chased for a long time and found that Chen Xiaoxiao's bracelet was worn by the black widow. Maybe they reached something, an alliance or a deal, in short, that's it." sort of thing."

Loki's expression turned cold: "I thought it was enough that they wanted to replace Captain America, but I didn't expect the lion to open up and want to poach my people."

"It's time to teach that self-righteous black egg a lesson."

Wade said anxiously: "I searched all the videos in the whole area, but I couldn't find Chen Xiaoxiao. The video from last night was completely blank. I don't know what happened."

Loki stood up and turned off the big screen behind him with a wave of his hand: "Catch the black widow now, immediately."

"Didn't that ant want to chat with the spider about life? Handcuff him opposite the spider and let them chat."

--------

Natasha quickly returned to the room with the bracelet.

She got a computer, but she couldn't connect to the Internet anyway, and Loki was very strict with her.

However, she managed to connect the information on the bracelet to the computer.

She recognized the symbol on the bracelet: it was Stark's mark.

Although she didn't know whether there was a deal between Tony and Loki, she thought it was necessary for her to understand why Tony suddenly appeared in the third district without hearing from him. She needed to know information about him.

Opening the file inside is very fast, because there is only one picture with a line of words written on it:

I took your number 84 - Tony Stark.

She understood Tony's ego, but she didn't believe he would leave a message just to humiliate Loki.There must be something else in the bracelet stuff that Tony wants them to know.

In other words, for District [-], not Loki's.

But the current conditions are too limited, she thought anxiously.

What should we do now, intrude into the network and send a signal to the thirteenth district?No, that would be too revealing, Loki would find out.

Natasha anxiously thought of a solution, but felt that she was fighting a trapped beast, and there was nothing she could do.

How to do?

What exactly?

"It's useless for you to do that."

A boy's voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Natasha almost jumped up in fright.

She was pretty sure no one was in the room when she came in, and no one walked behind her.

Turning back at the fastest speed, she saw a silver-haired boy, wearing a strange outfit, with a pair of goggles pinned to his hair, staring at the screen.

Natasha defended subconsciously, but did not attack.

Kuaiyin didn't look at her: "Don't try to hit me, your speed is too slow."

He glanced at Natasha: "Do you know why Loki insists on using Ralph? The things he makes are often full of loopholes."

Natasha didn't relax, she shook her head, ready to communicate with him further.

Quicksilver said: "Because orderly things are often the easiest to break through, but Ralph's loopholes are like countless glass shards arranged irregularly on the ground. Someone will accidentally scratch their feet and leave clues. And Loki He is best at dealing with clues, he loves lies, and especially likes not to expose lies, watching people struggle by themselves."

"Unless you're a genius like Tony Stark, don't challenge those low-level but effective glass shards."

Natasha asked: "Since you belong to him, why did you betray him?"

Kuaiyin replied: "I'm not his subordinate. I thought I fooled him, but he fooled us all."

"I used the antibody to trick him into saving Professor X. He saw through my lie but made the mistake, so he tricked his subordinates into saving people for me. I thought he wanted the antibody, but what he wanted was Professor X. He wanted Want a guy who can consciously control his own kind. Do you understand what that means?"

Natasha frowned: "He also wants the undead army?"

Quicksilver said, "Maybe."

"All I know is that he's not the leader I want to follow. We all need to get out of here."

Natasha: "Why should I trust you?"

Quicksilver said: "You don't need to believe me. I'm just a waste with a broken arm. Now Loki has found out that his men are missing, and you happened to pick up something that shouldn't be picked up. If you don't leave here, you will be punished." Lock it up."

Natasha looked at the young man for the first time: "Why did you help me?"

Kuaiyin lowered his eyes: "I haven't received formal training, and I'm nothing without the ability. I'm just a waste with a broken arm, watching my friends go to danger alone but helpless. We just need each other."

"You're looking for Tony Stark, right?" He smiled: "Coincidentally, me too."

Natasha realized that there was no time to ask more questions, she quickly put away the bracelet and stood up: "What should we do now?"

"We are going to the third district now." Quicksilver showed a card in his hand: "I have an invitation from Mr. Stark."

"But before that, we need to bring Brandon a present."

--------------

Chen Xiaoxiao crouched in the corner, casually playing with the cards in her hand.

Thirteen, a number she didn't like.

Originally, the number thirteen was not used in playing cards.

This is a very unlucky number, and it always reminds her of the Last Supper.

But it also means that she is the last, so-called, ace.

She put away the cards in her hand, and said while digging the noodles in the bowl, "Doctor, are you awake?"

Dulles woke up faintly, looking at the big bowl of bright red noodles in Chen Xiaoxiao's hand, he immediately shivered with fright.

For a moment, he thought that Chen Xiaoxiao was a blood-drinking lunatic who was drinking human blood.

The visual trance quickly disappeared, and he quickly saw that the red noodle soup was floating with crushed chili peppers, which were bright in color and exuding a delicious aroma.

Chen Xiaoxiao raised the chopsticks in her hand: "Do you want to try Chongqing noodles? Of course, this stuff is very cheap in China. It's not that I don't entertain you, it's because I can't headshot the zombies in your lab. It's time for other dishes."

Dulles struggled on the ground and found that his hands were tied, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Didn't you agree to make a deal?"

In his view, the transaction symbolizes a fair exchange, and they should negotiate terms.

At least, the moment he untied the equipment on Chen Xiaoxiao's body, she shouldn't have turned over an old man's home appliances directly.

Chen Xiaoxiao shoveled the noodles into her mouth and didn't hear what he said at all: "The food in your area is terrible. Really, if I didn't get something to eat myself, I would really starve to death..."

Seeing that she didn't answer the question at all, Dulles became anxious: "Chen Xiaoxiao! I'm talking to you!"

Chen Xiaoxiao stopped, and opened her mouth wide in surprise, so that the noodles in her mouth fell: "Didn't I ask you if you want to eat? You ignored me!"

She ate the noodles very quickly. After cleaning the whole bowl, she wiped her mouth and said, "Doctor, you are cute when you are stupid, really."

"I heard that you are very strict in teaching in the university, and you are very strict with your students. You often give others low marks and force them to work hard. Fortunately, I am not your student."

She said, grinning, chili flakes visible on her teeth: "I just like to cheat."

Chen Xiaoxiao licked her teeth, regretting that she couldn't see the pepper on her teeth: "Speaking of which, when we first met, I took an imitation gun with a fake bullet in it, and you were the one who lied nerd."

"You were so scared that you were covered in cold sweat. It was really cute."

Dulles looked at her vigilantly, as if he didn't care what she said at all, just wanted to prevent her from killing him.

Chen Xiaoxiao threw the bowl aside, and stood up: "I read your notes just now, and of course an ignorant person like me can't understand them, but you seem to need my blood for experiments?"

She said, rolling up her sleeves: "I won't refuse, you can draw blood if you need it."

Dulles was wary: "What exactly do you want?"

Chen Xiaoxiao: "I don't want to be bound by you, it's as simple as that."

"It's a pity for you. People always refuse to listen to you when they talk to you well. They have to scare you."

As she spoke, she found a corner and sat down with a helpless look.

Seeing that Dulles was already busy, Chen Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and began to rest.

Tony's words came to her mind again.

"There is only one place in the entire three districts that I cannot reach, and that is Brandon's laboratory. His laboratory security system is very advanced, and it is well-built, and I cannot invade at all."

"The first step, I need you to invade from the inside, give me their current research information, and plant a virus in the computer."

"This is not a card, remember, fold it and it will become a hard drive, and it will run automatically when connected to a computer."

Tony's plan was perfect, except for one thing he didn't expect.

Dulles was a stubborn old man who insisted on using the most primitive notes for records.

In other words, Dulles's notes were [-] pages long, and she did not have the ability to reproduce such a huge amount of paper information, or even have the opportunity to photograph it.

But Dulles' research results are the most advanced results of the entire laboratory.

At this moment, the card in Chen Xiaoxiao's hand flickered, she immediately opened her eyes and stood up, and immediately handcuffed herself again.

Not long after, Brandon pushed the door open and entered.

Staring at Chen Xiaoxiao with icy blue eyes, there was gritted hatred in his cold expression: "We haven't had a good talk for a long time. I thought we were friends."

Being handcuffed, Chen Xiaoxiao replied flatly: "Speaking of which, I also have a friend who likes to talk to himself, and he also likes to think that other people are his friends at every turn. You may like each other."

Brandon punched her on the abdomen, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "I really regard you as a friend. I gave Elijah to you, and I didn't send you to the laboratory."

Chen Xiaoxiao giggled: "Your gift is really good, I haven't had time to thank you yet.

Before she could finish speaking, she was hit hard again in the abdomen.

Chen Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and held back the pain without making a sound.

Brandon stopped moving and looked at her from a distance: "It's not so easy for you to run this time."

Chen Xiaoxiao stared at him, his reflection reflected in her dark eyes.

She suddenly laughed: "To be honest, I thought you were a lunatic before, and the behavior of a lunatic is beyond comprehension for normal people."

"But now I understand that you are not a lunatic, you are just an ordinary person. It seems that I am really stupid."

She looked at Brandon quietly, and after a long time, she suddenly said, "Brandon, you must be afraid of me."

Those cold eyes trembled suddenly, then immediately turned to stare at Chen Xiaoxiao viciously.

Chen Xiaoxiao said: "I used to think you hated us. Only later did I realize that you were always afraid of us."

She observed Brandon, and suddenly understood Tony's words at that moment.

She is so stupid.

What Mr. Stark could have discovered a long time ago, she didn't realize it until today.

She thought he was a contemporary Hitler, a madman who only wanted revenge and murder, but she was wrong.

He is a coward.

He was so frightened that he kept talking, bluffing for himself all the time.

Chen Xiaoxiao stared at him with night-like eyes, almost pulling him into the darkness: "I killed Elijah in front of you, why didn't you come to save him then?"

She smiled mockingly: "So you are afraid. You are afraid of me to death. You watched his blood splatter, and his breathing and heartbeat stopped, but your fear made you unable to move, because you I know you are powerless against me."

"I used to think that you were always protecting Elijah, but now I realize that Elijah has been protecting you..."

Brandon jumped up violently, raised his fist and punched Chen Xiaoxiao fiercely in the face, but she turned his head and hit the steel pillar behind him with his fist.

There was a crisp sound as the bones shattered.

Chen Xiaoxiao continued: "Does he always say to you, 'Brother, I only have you, if anyone can protect me, only brother'? So you think you are very strong, and you can handle it by lying to yourself Us, don't we?"

"But he died, he died in my hand, the moment his blood splattered, you suddenly realized that your brother is so fragile, he can't provide you with a refuge forever..."

"You actually yearn for me, right? I killed him to prove that I am stronger than him. Should you kneel down and seek my protection?"

Brandon went crazy, he didn't seem to feel the pain at all, and he punched Chen Xiaoxiao hard in the abdomen again!

The punch almost made her bleed.

But the amazing recovery speed made her heal quickly, and she continued to look at Brandon with that cold expression: "No pain, eager to heal quickly: Brandon, you are learning from me. You let your men imitate my genes Transform you because you want to be me."

"You wonder why I'm not afraid. You try your best to find the point, but you still can't find it."

"Brandon, I'm curious, why are you so afraid of us?"

Brandon was panting heavily, his eyes that seemed to have no emotion finally changed, he tried to maintain calm but couldn't do it, like a drowning person struggling, he grabbed the saber on the table and pointed at Chen Xiaoxiao stabbed in the past!

He was obviously attacking, but he looked like he was defending himself.

Dulles was obviously taken aback, and quickly shouted: "General!"

It seemed that the nightmare was awakened, Brandon stopped his hands, and slowly turned his red eyes to look at him.

Watching Brandon turn those terrifying eyes around, he took a step back in fright, and stood tremblingly on the instrument in front of him: "The first medicine has been synthesized successfully, do you need me to inject it now..."

There was a glimmer of hope in Brandon's eyes, and he whispered: "Elijah..."

He pictured his brother's gentle face, his calm look and soft hair.

Elijah always calmed him down.

Brandon calmed down a little, reached out and wiped his face, his voice hoarse: "Go. Go now. I will go see him with you."

He took two steps, but suddenly stopped, turned his head with a sneer, and looked at the handcuffed Chen Xiaoxiao: "You think you won?"

He clenched the saber in his hand: "What right do you have to say about me?"

"No one can see that you are afraid, because you are afraid all the time, so that people are familiar with your face. You can't get rid of the nightmare of being an alien all your life, so you become numb, hoping to be with it Together."

His expression gradually calmed down, and the previous wavering slowly disappeared: "But I am different. I will get rid of it sooner or later."

Like a drowning person, as long as he holds on to a straw, he will not sink.

Like a survivor in an extremely cold place, he can move on even when he sees a glimmer of fire.

Finally, he turned his head away, stopped looking at Chen Xiaoxiao, and left her with a cold back: "Before then, I will drive you all to death. Just like my father tried hard."

Not a single one remains.

he said to himself.

Not one can be left.

After Brandon left, Chen Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief.

It's a good thing he didn't cut off that knife, otherwise it would have revealed his flaws.

The previously injured area has healed, and she doesn't need to take medicine or take care of it.

Chen Xiaoxiao stayed quietly in the empty laboratory, suddenly feeling homesick.

Loki must be pissed that she just ran out like that.

Well, after taking her back, he would definitely be so angry that he would shave her hair and shut her up in the room to reflect.

Rocky is very smart, he knows that girls love beauty, and no girl wants to run around bareheaded.

She took out the card from her sleeve, opened the device that bound her, and took a deep breath.

If Dulles' note could not be resolved now, she would have no chance later.

She looked around, hoping to find anything that would work.

Chen Xiaoxiao anxiously looked at the surrounding equipment, trying to find any that could scan documents, but there was none, maybe there was one that she needed, but she didn't know it.

The equipment here is so advanced that she can't recognize it at all.

time is running out...

damn it!

The card in her hand rang again, and Chen Xiaoxiao immediately returned to her original position, and handcuffed herself again.

A soldier came over and took her out of the laboratory.

Brandon finally wants revenge for killing her brother?

She had to find a way to stay, otherwise future missions would not be possible.

Although Tony thought that she might die at this step, Chen Xiaoxiao still hoped that she could complete the next task.

Otherwise, she would not be an ace.

When she was taken out of the laboratory, Chen Xiaoxiao was thinking rapidly about how to keep Brandon from killing her temporarily.

Until she was brought into a room surrounded by pure white.

The room is stacked with canvases and shelves, and paints of different colors are neatly placed aside.

Chen Xiaoxiao's pupils suddenly constricted.

The door was pushed open.

The young man standing at the door showed a bright smile, his blue eyes looked extremely pure, without a trace of dust.

He touched his neck which was stitched with black thread, as if feeling inferior to his own appearance, he shyly avoided Chen Xiaoxiao's gaze.

"We meet again." His voice was gentle, but creepy.

"I'm sorry about what happened before." Elijah said seriously.

Chen Xiaoxiao found it funny.

He actually apologized to himself?

After waiting for a while, Elijah said seriously, "I apologize, and it's your turn next."

He raised the controller in his hand:

"We have to be good friends, don't we? Anyone who has done something wrong must apologize."

Chen Xiaoxiao took a deep breath: "What do you want me to say?"

Elijah said, "I should have said to you; I'm sorry to paint on you, I won't do it in the future. I didn't know it hurt."

"You're going to tell me I'm sorry for breaking your neck, you didn't know that would make me sad, and you won't do that in the future."

"That way, we can make up."

He laughed, and there was nothing impurity in that joy.

Chen Xiaoxiao felt a poisonous snake crawled up her neck along her spine, and the cold scales scratched her body, making one shiver with cold.
