"Don't be so careful, Brother Bucky, Brother Steve."

Tom vaccinated and said, "I have the Restore spell to turn messed things up."

With him leading the way, Steve and Bucky quietly pushed open Dad's bedroom door, and the three stood together in the room looking around.

"Let's start looking." Tom took a deep breath, trying to suppress his guilt, "I hope Dad won't find out."

"Anything weird deserves attention," Steve murmured emphatically to himself.

"My father...'s real name is Eternity, and I saw it one year." Tom, who has learned a lot about the universe, suggested, "If there is anything that needs to be opened, try to read his real name."

"I can read anything I don't know." Bucky muttered next to him, scratching his hair, looking very embarrassed.

Well, Steve wasn't much better off, actually.

——They are going to secretly search Mr. Chasu's things now.

I don't know how long Tony can hold off. Momo, Slime and Pumpkin were also sent away by Tom early in the morning.If this matter is discovered, they will not be able to give a reason, just thinking about the consequences, the three of them will feel their scalps go numb.

They spread out in the bedroom.

Steve went to find the bedside table, Bucky took care of the large closet next to it, and they left the most troublesome bookshelf to Tom.

"Let me see... shirts, shirts, coats. What is this? The sweater Steve knit for Mr. Su?"

Bucky glanced at the sweater with admiration, then hurriedly skipped the ordinary clothes, and focused on the pockets or heavy coats. He also opened the bottom of the closet, knocked with his knuckles, and tried to identify the clothes underneath. No mezzanine.

"Tom's bedtime stories, no." Steve put aside a familiar thick book, and took out two more pens, a small box of orange candies, a bag of nose toys, and a thick stack held in place by clips. of paper.

He opened the second drawer, which was relatively empty and contained only a few things.He found a bunch of keys, a wallet, and a lot of change.

Steve divided things into two piles, then went to open the last drawer - he didn't succeed.The third drawer seemed to be locked.

"Eternal." The blond man said the real name nervously.

Surprisingly, the drawer actually opened!

Unexpectedly, they heard the movement so soon, Tom and Bucky both looked over.

"I think I found something." Steve said slowly, looking into the third drawer.

The two were startled, and immediately came over.Tom was a little nervous: "What did you find?"

In the end, there were not many things in this drawer. The first thing they saw was a hidden photo frame—black and white, which was taken decades ago, but Mr. Su was the only person in the photo.

The reason why Steve used such a solemn tone is because the black-haired man in the photo is not as gentle and calm as they usually see. Although he looks very unhuman, cold and frightened when he is not smiling, they all know that It's just the appearance, Mr. Su has a good heart, and he always looks very good in front of them.

In this photo—the street scene behind it shows that it was already winter, and pedestrians were wearing thick clothes, but Mr. Su was only wearing a thin shirt. He put his hands in the pockets of his trousers, with a tired and disgusted expression on his face , carelessness and indifference to oneself.

From the inside out, the dark-haired man exudes a special aura that is beyond the cold eyes of the whole world.

This man... doesn't look like his father at all.

"When... was this photo taken?" Tom murmured as he picked up the photo frame. He turned to the back, and there was a small line of 1926 written in the lower right corner.

"The year Tom was born." Steve and Bucky looked at each other.

"Did something happen at that time? He looked..." Tom's face sank, and he couldn't say the rest.

Although he wanted to find out his father's previous experience, seeing this picture, Tom clearly realized that it was taken when his father was young or when he was in a bad state, and he felt a prickly pain in his heart.

"I do remember those few years." Bucky frowned and recalled, "I was only eight or nine years old, and I didn't know Mr. Su for a long time. At that time, Mr. Su didn't know how to take care of himself, or let himself ignore himself. I wear very little clothes when it's cold."

"That's right." Steve also confirmed Bucky's words, "It wasn't long before Mr. Su moved here, and he opened a small clinic that wasn't doing well, but the only patient I met on the street was me. Mr. Su didn't dislike me for not having money for treatment, so he took me back and cured me..."

"Did you just move here?" Tom caught the point, he asked repeatedly.

"I just moved here. The clinic is not far from our home. I remember the people who used to live there." Bucky affirmed.

"What makes my father feel so bad, and stay away from his influence, and come to the earth alone..." Tom asked himself thoughtfully, but he already got the answer in his heart.

In the photo, Su Qizhi's face was still exhausted and indifferent, and she couldn't hide her disgust towards herself.

And why should he hate himself?

Tom gradually understood, he raised his head and said his guess: "I think Dad was possessed by the masked man at that time."

This is just a guess based on the photos, none of them can verify or refute it.

Tom had the picture, and in the third drawer, there were some odds and ends.Three people checked a part separately.

"This is a recipe, it's written in bits and pieces, and I haven't heard the name..." Bucky flipped through the few pieces of paper he got, saying that it was of no special value.

"It seems to be the Chinese character 'Fu', which is used to stick on the door." Steve made a gesture to confirm that it was correct.

"This diary is also written in Chinese... That's right, my dad's appearance is also Asian, and he sometimes speaks idioms. Did he stay in China for a while before?" Tom hated himself for not even being so obvious before. Didn't pay attention to anything.

"Diary?!" Steve and Bucky uttered together, looking over nervously, "What is it written in?"

All three of them have a Chinese foundation, and it is easy to understand Chinese.This thin diary looks very old, the paper is fragile, I don't know how it has been preserved until now.Tom was careful when he opened it.

"In 1926, it was a new life... a terrible new life. It's hard to imagine that I'm going to live like this."

To Steve's surprise, this is not a diary in the conventional sense, because there is no clear date and event marked throughout the article, only the year is occasionally written, and the narratives in several paragraphs are vague.It's like... scruples about something.

"If possible, everyone would choose to go back to the past. I would rather die at that time. Too bad, only I have to go on like this."

"...I'll fix Steve."

"Day after day, I don't want to continue. This is the task that was imposed on me."

"It's too boring, I have to find something to do, and also distract Jin Jiang's attention, don't urge me anymore."

"What should Tom do? I've adopted him now, so...do I want to leave him alone?"

"What am I writing? There is nothing I can do to vent my vulnerability and resentment on paper meaninglessly. It's too weak. I should have accepted my fate a long time ago. This is my task and I must complete it."

"No one can see this diary. I should rest assured that at least the diary can stay in the safest place."

"...The safest place is also the least safe place, because what is there that Jinjiang doesn't know? Including every word I wrote, which makes me very uncomfortable."

"The diary can't share secrets with me. I've always been alone. It's unbelievable. I just realized this."

……

After that, the diary went blank.Tom pursed his lips tightly, and slowly raised his eyes with a gloomy face. He saw the same bad expressions on their faces.

Undoubtedly, it was the year he was born that his father was entangled by the masked man Jin Jiang.

... He passively abandoned everything he had, and came to Earth alone. He had to complete some mission assigned by Jinjiang.

He was powerless to resist, and there was no one to confide in. He spent a long time in pain and anxiety, and could only selectively tell some thoughts to his diary.

Then...he found out that Jin Jiang was one with him, even the diary he wrote could be seen.After being hit so hard, he never wrote a single word, and could only bury everything deep in his heart.

Tom put down the diary palely, clutched his forehead in distraction, and messed up his black hair.Self-blame and needle-like pain tightened his heart.

"Tom, haven't you noticed these things before?" Bucky asked aloud after a long time.

"I never mess with Daddy's stuff, I thought..." Tom broke off.

As a kid...he thought his dad was just a poor doctor who occasionally went out as a superhero to help others.He regards his father as an idol he yearns for, and he tries hard not to cause trouble for his father, and wants to do something for the family.

Later, he was amazed by his father's alien identity, and proud of his father's command of many galaxies.

He thought he understood Dad, but did he really understand?

He couldn't even see the pain and strangeness that his father had endured in his heart these years, if Steve hadn't discovered it...

Thinking about the future ending described by Steve, Tom felt cold in his heart, and couldn't help showing his killing intent.

They have already found the first clue, and then they must find out the masked man Jinjiang—he must not let that happen!

"I don't know that Mr. Su likes to eat orange candies." Steve picked up the half box of orange candies found in the first drawer, and the stack of papers fixed underneath was full of technical terms, as if It was the paper when I was discussing things with Tony Stark.

Steve paused, then added, "I still value Tony's talent."

Tom looked at the old photo in silence.

He is not in the mood to be jealous now, and he has been surrounded by self-blame and distress.

In this situation, he can't even convey to his father that he already knows and supports his father.

"Let's find something else... Hurry up, I'll restore the room in a while." Finally Tom said hoarsely, "We can investigate from 'eternity' later."

Su Qizhi didn't know anything about what happened in her own home.He patiently accompanied Tony in the bedroom, flipping through magazines.

——Only Jin Jiang, who has hidden his achievements and fame behind his back, remains.
