American Comics: The Matrix

Chapter 21: Don’t look back, Pepper, I’m Tony (Please read on)
Bant entered Tony's body like a bubble.

The next moment, a black and red eyeliner appeared on both sides of Tony's eye sockets. When he opened his eyes, the consciousness in this body had been taken over by Bant.

Possessed.

One of the Iktorians' superpowers. Theoretically, they can permanently occupy other people's bodies in this way.

However, due to the limitations of the watch, Bant doesn't actually have much time to waste.

More than twenty minutes had passed since he left home.

This is also why he chose to occupy Tony's body instead of waiting for Tony to leave before taking action.

but……

In Tony's consciousness space.

Bant looked at the other ball of light with some caution.

Tony Stark's own consciousness has fallen into a deep sleep due to his ability. If he does not leave on his own initiative, he may never wake up, but the consciousness of this ball of light is different.

Although it was also in deep sleep, it did not seem to be affected by the ghostly ability.

"Could it be the Gem of Wisdom?"

As a fan of the Cloud comics, Bant had heard of the seventh Infinity Stone in his previous life.

According to legend, the reason why Tony Stark is so smart is because he possesses the seventh Infinity Stone - the Wisdom Stone.

However, the existence of this rough stone is a tumor in Tony's head.

However, not all Tonys in all universes have this setting.

The raw stone in front of him was most likely still in a dormant state, but Bant was still a little scared. He didn't know whether the power of the wisdom gem could analyze the twentieth-level cosmic technology.

You know, the Little Broken Watch is Azmis's masterpiece. Many people who claim that their wisdom can rival Azmis, such as Albedo and Dr. Crab, cannot completely replicate the existence of the Little Broken Watch.

Even Albedo in his ultimate evolution is far inferior to Azmis in terms of intelligence.

The wisdom gem may not be able to analyze the small broken watch.

But Bant was still a little worried.

"Let's get the information quickly and leave." He thought about it, and at this time, Jarvis's inquiring voice sounded.

"gentlemen?"

It was still waiting for Tony to give clear instructions, but the other party suddenly became stunned, which made Jarvis a little confused. However, as an artificial intelligence, it had no right to ask about Tony's affairs.

"I'm fine, Jarvis, let me see your underlying code." Tony (Bant) shook his head and made an excuse, "I'll see if I can upgrade it for you."

"You're a little weird, sir." Jarvis seemed to sense something was a little wrong, but as a program, it was clearly in a bit of a misconception.

In its opinion, Tony in front of it has never changed. If that is the case, then it naturally has no right to disobey orders.

On the virtual projection, strings of codes swept across Bant's eyes.

To be honest, he couldn't remember it and couldn't understand it.

'I should have brought a USB drive.'

he thought.

It’s a pity that I didn’t know this earlier.

He had never expected to become a ghost tonight, so naturally he had no preparation and could only memorize it.

"By the way, Jarvis." Bant remembered something, "Where is the other reactor core?"

He remembered that Iron Man had more than one reactor. If he planned to take it away for research, he couldn't remove the one on Tony's body.

"Did you forget that you gave it to Miss Potts?" Jarvis asked curiously.

It felt like Tony was suddenly a little too abnormal.

If Tony hadn't been under its nose the whole time, Jarvis would have suspected that someone was impersonating Tony.

"Oh yeah, I forgot about that." Bant let out a soft "tsk". At this time, he didn't know if Pepper Potts was still in Stark Tower. And if he really had to use Tony's body to go see Pepper Potts, he still felt a little weird.

But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he mentioned Pepper, the door of the laboratory was opened.

The blonde chili pepper strode in.

"Tony."

The sudden appearance of the real owner made Bant a little flustered, but he quickly realized that he was Tony now and there was nothing to be afraid of.

"Hi, Pepper."

"You've locked yourself up for days just to study those things," Boz frowned and paused, "Armor."

She looked worried and distressed.

"Ms. Potts, Mr. has only slept for three hours in the past few days."

Jarvis duly made a small report, which made Pepper even more worried.

She took a step forward, looked at Tony's haggard face, and subconsciously stretched out her hand.

"Wait, Boz, I'm fine."

Bant took a step back and dodged.

He looked at Little Pepper with some embarrassment, thinking that if this continued, the plot would develop in a strange direction.

Little Pepper, I think you still have your charm?
At this moment, he suddenly felt that the ghost's ability seemed to have color...

He shook his head, clearing out the useless waste.

To be honest, Pepper Potts is not his type, and even the famous Black Widow doesn't strike him as very attractive.

"Are you okay? Look at your dark circles!"

Pepper angrily picked up the mirror and put it in Bant's face.

Bant really wanted to say that those were not dark circles under the eyes, but the appearance of being possessed by a ghost.

But he didn't have much time.

Originally he didn't have much time left for possession, and after being interrupted by Pepper, Bant estimated that thirty minutes were almost over.

Fortunately, he had already taken a rough look at the underlying code of artificial intelligence. Although he did not remember it at all, memory is related to brain power. After becoming a little hero, perhaps he could recall all of this.

'I don't need to remember everything, just a rough idea will do,' Bant thought.

As for the rest, the omnipotent little cavalry will be able to find a way.

But now, he has to leave quickly.

"Okay, Pepper, do you know where my snacks are?" Bant said quickly. He wanted to get Boz away, otherwise he might be discovered when he left Tony's body. "I'm so hungry now. I need to eat something."

Pepper looked at him helplessly. Sometimes she really felt like Tony's mother.

He sighed helplessly.

"I'll get it for you." Pepper turned around and faced Bant.

Although Little Pepper is not that good-looking, she has a good figure. The women's suit skirt outlines the curves of her body from behind.

Looking at her back, Bant suddenly thought of:
Don't look back, Pepper, I'm Tony.

"Don't tell me, I really am Tony!"

Bant complained, then emerged from behind Tony like a cicada shedding its shell.

This time, Jarvis noticed his vague shadow in the darkness, but before Jarvis could start the high-precision camera to confirm the image, Bant had merged into the air and disappeared completely.

Jarvis was stunned.

Could it be that I, an artificial intelligence, also have hallucinations?
