The beautiful daily life of Black Light Salted Fish

"I heard you gave Tony quite a beating."

In the laboratory, Howard Stark happily prepared instruments and medicines for Watson before serum enhancement, and he didn't seem to mind at all when Watson beat his son a few times. After more than half a month of intense preparations, Howard finally prepared the super soldier serum, and today is the official day for serum enhancement.

According to Howard, Watson's unusual physique may cause the serum to fuse for a long time, so he may enter a deep sleep state of indefinite duration after being injected with the serum.

Peggy Carter also came to the scene today, and she was ready to witness Watson's rebirth with Howard.

Or in the unlikely event that the experiment fails, send Watson off together.

"So Peggy, what if I sleep with you for three to five years, what will Mrs. Viper do?" Watson stared at her eyes: "She is still thinking about me. Is it possible that I really want to be like this?" Like we said before, completely change your identity?"

"Don't be so serious, Watson. According to my calculations, even if the experiment fails, the fatality rate should be minimal." Howard flicked a syringe in his hand, and the light blue liquid refracted dazzlingly under the operating room light. Ming Guang: "I will inject you with the initial stage of palliatives first. Let's start now."

Watson turned his head and glanced at Carter. He had only lied on the dental operating table a few times in his life. He was really nervous at this time: "If I look strange in the future, you might as well consider pushing me to be cremated." ." By this time, Watson's desire to live was no longer so strong, but his desire to live seemed not to be very strong. His previous rebirths were all spontaneous.

Maybe people who don't cherish their bodies at a young age and die suddenly may have potential self-destructive tendencies in their hearts.

This is a disease that needs to be cured.

Given the uncertainty of the experiment, Watson warned Howard in advance about increased security and company insiders. After all, Howard's security configuration can cope with ordinary people, but it is very weak against superhumans like Watson. Although the Winter Soldier was able to successfully assassinate Howard at the end of 1991, it was only because he drove his wife on the road alone without a bodyguard.

But Watson has never figured out why Howard did that in the original timeline, and Marvel's screenwriters have yet to come forward and give a clear answer. This makes various people think about the five super soldier serums in the car. Conspiracy theories based on the

As for the fact that Obadiah Stane, the founder of Stark Industries, was the mole, Watson had already told Howard in the name of Hydra capture intelligence. If even after achieving this step, Howard still has to drive out alone with his wife, and the insider controls the route...

Then Watson can only lament the arrangement of fate.

Of course, as long as he wakes up before then, maybe everything will be fine.

"No one needs this serum more than you, Watson. I believe you can succeed, and I also believe in Howard's skills." Old Mrs. Peggy Carter stepped forward and put down a package: "As for Mrs. Viper, We will completely cover up your previous whereabouts. Here is your new ID document as we promised before."

"Have you finished your last words? Are we about to start?" Howard held the operating hatch and made a joke about the crazy doctor at Watson.

"Wait a minute, I have a guitar in the room. If I don't play it for too long, it will break. So if I won't wake up for a while, or never wake up, you remember to find a good home for it." Watson After saying that, he lay his head back on the pillow, put on the respirator, and closed his eyes: "That's it, let's get started."

Click!

Howard lowered the operating hatch cover like a coffin board.

A few minutes later.

"During World War II, I didn't have the technical conditions to scan his entire body. Looking at it now, it's really incredible." Howard kept sighing while carefully checking the instrument readings.

"what happened?"

Carter came forward, and she saw that Howard had started the serum injection process, but unlike Captain America Steve Rogers' heart-rending cry, Watson in the glass hatch in front of her was just closed. There was no sound or movement from his eyes, which made Carter a little worried.

Howard didn't even raise his head, his eyes fixed on the data display: "Before the injection of the serum, the organs in Watson's body were the same as those of normal people, including the heart, lungs, spleen and stomach, liver and intestines... But they are now It’s starting to fade away.”

Everyone who heard Carter was a little stupid: "Are you saying that Watson's body completely melted?!"

"That was not what I meant!"

Howard finally realized that his statement was incomplete. He raised his head, his wrinkled eyes were filled with the rapt attention of the mad scientist: "I mean those organs in Watson's body are fake! His body imitation The removal of these internal organs may just be out of the brain's memory, or simply to disguise! These organs are not even working at all!"

"Except for his brain...look at this!"

Howard grabbed the data display screen and held it up in front of Carter: "These body tissues were just disguised as various organs before, but now they have encountered the genetic material in the super soldier serum, and they have to go all out, so they all recovered. As it is!”

Identifying these blood-black tissues that looked like tentacles and tumors in the low-light fluoroscopy was obviously beyond Carter's expertise. She only took a few glances and looked away from this scalp-numbing scene of secret fear: "Howard, can't you just tell me if Watson is okay?"

"Watson is doing great, his body just needs time to grow."

After Howard finished speaking, he quickly walked to the console nearby and operated for a few minutes. During this time, the top hose of the operating cabin where Watson was located began to flow out of a transparent light yellow liquid. After a while, it filled the entire interior cabin, filling Watson with it. Sen's whole body was wrapped up.

"This is nutrient solution. I'm sure you should understand this word." Howard took the initiative to answer Carter's question.

"So do you know when he will wake up?" Carter's question was obviously more than that.

"God knows when, it could be a few months, a year or a few years. I will set up the alarm device so that as soon as Watson wakes up, I will know that this laboratory will be sealed from today." Howard said After finishing the final program settings, he put his hands in the pockets of his white coat and looked at Watson soaked in the nutrient solution silently with Carter. No one spoke for a while.

Another ten minutes passed like this.

"Our people have found Steve." This time, it was Howard who broke the silence first. He turned to look at Carter: "It's you, have you thought about it? Do you want to receive serum enhancement?"

Carter said nothing and winked at Howard.

Howard understood what Carter meant, and a few minutes later, the two came to a secret interview room in the institute.

......

"Have you decided what to do?" Howard asked proactively: "Now let me activate backup measures and freeze the operating cabin until we find out everything?"

Carter was silent. After a few days of thinking, she gradually realized that she had gotten into the corner of a bull's nest.

The piece of information about Steve was true, and so was the story about the insider in Howard Company. With the channels and resources she and Howard have in hand, other intelligence provided by Watson will soon be verified. If all is true, then the value of this information is immeasurable, especially the part about Hydra, which is enough to cause turmoil in a country.

No organization would be willing to use this level of intelligence as bait. Even if it was bait, I might not be able to refuse it. And to say the least, would he refuse to use this information because of doubts?

impossible.

Steve alone was enough to allow himself to take this risk. More importantly, Steve was indeed found, and she felt that Watson himself knew about it.

The more I think about it, the more confused I become. Carter sighed heavily and put his hands on his forehead.

"Peggy?" Howard looked closely into Carter's eyes: "We have worked together for decades and know each other's ins and outs. I do feel guilty about Watson, but I will believe you even more. So if you If I want to freeze Watson temporarily, I’ll do it now.”

"No need, Howard." Carter smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The investigation will definitely continue. You and I both know that Watson alone cannot obtain this information. Let's just treat him as expressing goodwill on behalf of the organization behind him. Don't If you act rashly, wait until he wakes up before contacting him with caution."

"Let's take one step at a time."

For a while, the two fell silent again.

----------

It wasn't until the serum entered his body and his consciousness became blurred that Watson realized that he hadn't slept much since he traveled through time. It was the same when I was in Germany, and it was the same after meeting Howard. At night when others were sleeping, he would wander around, daze, read and eat, or play his own Martin guitar.

At this moment, he finally tasted the feeling of sleep for a long time. In the endless silence, Watson's mind floated in the void. I don’t know how long it took, but a wonderful color that was as beautiful as a dream slowly bloomed towards him like a flower. Like a floating soul finding a home, or like a kite in the blue sky being pulled by a string, Watson was floating in a trance, slowly sinking into this beautiful sea of ​​dreams.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

In the dark laboratory, the shrill instrument alarm suddenly sounded.

If Howard Stark were here, he would definitely recognize the beating data on the dial, which means that Watson's signs of life have completely disappeared.

But the closed door was never opened, and the lighting was never turned on. Only the siren screamed, one after another.

Suddenly, a portal with sparks flashing around the edge opened, and Master Gu Yi, wearing a monk's robe, stepped out. She walked to the operating cabin and looked at Watson quietly inside. The Eye of Agamotto hanging on her chest suddenly lit up. But Master Gu Yi immediately stopped moving, as if he saw something incredible.

After staring blankly for a while, Master Gu Yi finally sighed softly, turned around and disappeared into the portal.

......

Under the beautiful dream sea, there is deep darkness. Objects of various sizes emitting shimmering light were like schools of fish, swimming around a bit of light in the deep depths. These objects had no shape, but Watson had an inexplicable cognition at this time.

That is the soul of life, countless swimming souls. Boundless, as deep and broad as a galaxy.

A faint female moan came, like a voice that directly hit the soul. It was like a dream, making people feel the comfort engraved in the bone marrow, but they were reluctant to forget it in an instant. Watson only saw the scene in front of him changing rapidly, and his entire consciousness flew uncontrollably towards the deep and final light.

There sat an extremely tall woman.

The figure under the burqa is graceful and graceful, but the face in the hood is a ferocious skull. The woman stretched out her pale left hand to catch Watson, holding Watson in her hand like a small fish and turning it over repeatedly.

I'm really a jerk this time.

This was Watson's first thought. He couldn't feel his limbs, couldn't move, couldn't speak, and didn't even know what his current form looked like.

Lady Death.

Watson was reminded of the woman's identity. "Lady Death", one of the five creator gods of the Marvel Universe. The source, creator and controller of all living souls in the multiverse; represents the manifestation of the concrete form of termination of all life in the multiverse. This is a serious cosmic-level god, and it is not at all the same level as Hela, the planet-level god from Asgard.

But the most profound impression that Marvel fans around the world have on Lady Death is probably that she has an affair with Thanos in the official setting, instigating and condoning the purple sweet potato spirit to pleasure herself by constantly killing creatures, and even granting immunity to the other party. The ability to die.

Of course, 10,000 Marvel writers have 10,000 ideas. In multiple versions of official comics and novels, some say that Thanos is a dog licker; some say that Lady Death takes the initiative; some say that Deadpool once After death, he met Ms. Death, fought for her love and turned the Purple Sweet Potato Essence green. As a result, Thanos was so angry that he spent a lot of money to curse Deadpool for immortality. There was also talk of Ms. Death having an entanglement with Thanos' son... ..

It is even said that Thanos only met Lady Death once when he was young, and he fell into unrequited love from then on.

But why did I see Lady Death? Am I already dead?

Watson couldn't figure it out.

But Ms. Death may not be able to sense Watson's thoughts, or she may be able to sense them but not bother to answer them. She raised the left hand holding Watson. The skull under the hood slowly approached, and behind the black eye sockets was endless void. Watson didn't know what the death lady, who was worth a billion dollars, wanted to do. He could only look at the other party stupidly, and even felt that the situation was a bit embarrassing.

This situation did not last long.

I don’t know whether she made a certain decision or lost interest. Lady Death gently raised her left hand, and Watson quickly passed through the soul as vast as the galaxy like a rocket, broke through the surface of the dream sea, and flew towards the darkness when it came. go.

......

Watson opened his eyes.
