[Zhongyingmei] The number one black powder

Veronica felt that she was more like dreaming, like the kind of hazy with the brain soaked in the water tank and looking outside.

The Red Skull sat right in front of her, gave a satisfied smile, and said in her direction, "Well done, my good girl." Then he turned his head and looked in the other direction.

Veronica also turned her head to look at it. It was a screen with half-written code scrolling on it. The white cursor flashed rhythmically on the black screen, waiting for the writer to continue to complete.Veronica quickly scanned the above few lines, but a few words didn't make her understand the purpose of this paragraph, but something else caught her attention.The electronic screen with a black background reflected some shadows vaguely like a mirror.Veronica looked at the distorted face due to the curvature of the screen, with a silver metallic luster on it, and her inorganic eyes looked back at her.She knew what it was, her creation, that liquid metal armament that could change as she pleased.

In order to perfectly control the weapon with no time difference, she implanted an electronic chip that matched her own brain.Essentially that weapon is a robot, and she carries an AI that she made, that she controls directly.But in fact this kind of link is bidirectional, which means that the other end can also reverse some input to her.She ignored the fact that the Armor wasn't with her these days, or maybe it was because the Red Skull hinted that she ignored it.

"I've always been confident that my girl doesn't need anyone else to get the job done." Red Skull was speaking again, in that sweetly false tone that made Veronica uncomfortable "as soon as possible Get it done, girl, the final step of Project Insight."

Veronica struggled a bit, then jumped up, broke through the water, and returned to reality.

Reed and Tony were leaning in front of her, dodging back when she stood up like a zombie, and then both of them remained motionless for a while before carefully asking "Are you okay?"

"I..." Veronica paused, because she felt that no one would believe what she said.Taking another deep breath to give herself a buffer before asking a banal, unmistakable question, "How long have I been passed out?" She thinks she hasn't passed out for a long time, because she is still in Reed's lab Lying on the ground, not being moved.

"Not long," Reed said, sure enough, even glancing up at his watch. "Ten minutes."

"I'm fine." Veronica said while thinking in her heart, the time is synchronized, so it should not be a memory flashback, but something that happened somewhere at the same time "just a sudden flashback."

From Tony's stunned expression, Veronica knew that he believed it.This is indeed a very convincing reason.Ashamed of her concealment, she reached out to hold Tony's hand, who held it back tightly without hesitation, and pulled her up.

"Can I stay here tonight?" Veronica asked, blinking.

She knew the request was abrupt and rude.But she knew it would always be agreed.

Tony hesitated, looked up at Reed, and Veronica added, "Please?"

So Reed also hesitated—see, this is human sympathy, as long as you are willing to appear weak, you can take advantage of this—after a while he said awkwardly, "I have to ask Sue."

Judging from Susan's attitude towards her earlier, she would definitely not object.

So she stayed on smoothly.

Tony sat for a while in Sue's guest room for Veronica, watched her wash up and went to sit beside him on the bed, then leaned over to kiss her goodnight, and then said to her, "When do you want to leave tomorrow?" , call me, I'll pick you up."

"Okay." Veronica squeezed his hand tightly. There was still a scar on his thumb, which was left by the blister caused by holding the welding torch too low a few days ago. At that time, Veronica Ka put a Band-Aid on him "Did you take the Band-Aid off?"

"What?" Tony was stunned for a moment, and then understood what she meant. "Oh, that," he said a little embarrassedly, "I was idle in the meeting yesterday..."

"..." Veronica rolled her eyes.

"After you bit off your nails when you were nervous, you said don't worry about it!" Tony protested.

"That's different." Veronica continued to roll her eyes, and at some point she stopped, laughing at something that occurred to her. "We're arguing about trivial things now."

"Yeah." Tony tilted his head and pretended to think about it seriously, then nodded, "What should I do after I get married?"

"I thought we planned not to sign a prenuptial agreement, so that I could take away all your property when I couldn't live on?"

"You just don't forget about it, do you?" Tony sighed. "I have to try not to let this happen."

"What doesn't happen? Won't it be hard to live or won't let me rob the family property?"

"I think if the former is done, the latter will be done?"

"……you're right."

After Tony finally left, Veronica sat in the dark for a while, then jumped to the floor and went back to the bathroom.

Facing the mirror, she carefully removed the gauze on the wound on the back of her head that she had repeatedly damaged, carefully looked at the deep crack, and tried to ignore the jagged edges.

Dr. Banner and Dr. Pym, she thought, were right to be concerned about her... This was the first time in her waking life that she realized that the Red Skull was controlling her.So how long has the Red Skull been controlling her without her knowing it?She may have unknowingly disclosed the Avengers, Tony's technology to the Red Skull.

But the Red Skull didn't ask her to steal the Avengers' technology, otherwise they would have discovered this problem-Tony may allow her to enter and leave his laboratory, but it doesn't mean he doesn't strictly monitor his own technology.

Red Skull took control of her, but failed to figure out how to get some Stark technology.Then he must have a more important thing for her to do.There's only one thing that the Red Skull sees more than anything else - the Insight Project.

Veronica took a deep breath, pressed her fingers on the edge of the wound, and pressed down hard.The sharp pain came from the back of her head, and brought her back to the end of the previous sleepwalking moments. The pain made her on the verge of waking up. Before she fully woke up, she had a thought that drove her to do these things that hurt herself. ...she tried to grab the thread...but several times, the thread slipped through her fingertips.

Eventually she gave up, realizing that there might not be a way to do this on her own.That's why she must live here tonight.

She walked out of the guest room. It was approaching late at night, and the few residents of the Baxter Building had either gone to bed early or hadn't returned yet.Only one is still awake.

Barefoot, she walked silently through the entire corridor, cautiously did not choose the elevator, but walked up the stairs from the emergency exit to the top floor.

As expected, Reed was still busy, his body stretched, twisted into a twist to occupy the entire laboratory space, concentrating on his experiment.Didn't even feel Veronica when she appeared at the door.

"You can narrow the frequency range of the filter a bit, and get 0.3-0.45." Veronica kindly suggested while looking at the formula on the whiteboard.

"It's too narrow, and key information may be missed." Reed turned his head back to the whiteboard and looked at the '0.2-0.7' he wrote "But you are right, it can be narrowed... 0.25- 0.6."

"0.3-0.5, trust me." Veronica said again "I've tried 0.3-0.52."

"..." Reed was silent for a while, and Veronica watched him set the value at 0.3-0.5.Then he turned to look at her like he just woke up from a dream, "Why are you here?"

"I came up from the stairs." Veronica pointed behind her.

"Okay." Reed turned his head away, and looked at a nearby instrument, but his limbs retracted quietly to normal proportions, and asked her at the same time, "What do you want to do?"

"I did come to ask you for help." Veronica said, subconsciously touched the wound behind the ear, "There is something in my brain, and I want you to help me take it out."

Veronica spent a few minutes explaining the situation to him.Reed listened very attentively, and when she spoke, he had completely retracted into an ordinary person's appearance. He frowned, and after listening patiently to her about the chip implanted in her head, he hesitated and asked, "I'm not That kind of doctor, if you want, I can help you contact McCoy, Doctor Midnight, Doctor Strange..."

"No." Veronica quickly rejected his proposal, "I hope this matter can be done in a low-key manner." After weighing the pros and cons, she said honestly, "I don't want Tony to know about this matter."

"Why?" Reid became more confused.

Veronica could come up with a lot of reasons, but she didn't want to make it too pathetic, so she shrugged. "It's embarrassing."

Clearly Dr. Richards is a genius who can read the universe, but an idiot when it comes to reading the mind.He didn't understand Veronica's difficulty at all, shook his head, and flatly refused, "I won't..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Veronica snapped him "because he won't agree, this operation is risky." She saw the CT imaging they did, it was too close to the central nervous system, and the implant It's been too long, and it's difficult to do precise separation in such a dangerous area... She heard their discussion, unless Dr. Strange's hands are still perfect, no one can guarantee that the operation will be 100% successful.In the case of failure, lying in bed and eating through a straw for a lifetime is considered a good result.

That's why Tony didn't mention this to her. He can test the armor at a height of several hundred meters without protection, but he won't allow others to do dangerous things.He won't mention it to her until the success rate of the operation is ensured.But Veronica knew they had no time to procrastinate.

"But you can get it done," Veronica said, when Reed gave another disapproving look. "Your precision in getting 150 decimal places right ensures that."
