[Zhongyingmei] It's not a slime!

Ruby didn't believe that Constantine would die so easily.

She thought, the scourge will last for thousands of years, who knows that this guy Constantine sacrificed his teammates again to save himself a wave of life?

But she never expected that his life would end on that night that she didn't want to recall.It came to an abrupt end, caught off guard.

--How can this be?He was indeed seriously injured at the beginning, but for him, an omnipotent and weird magician who is afraid of even Kryptonians, as long as he is not killed on the spot, there is a way to survive.

AI Tony watched Ruby's reaction and immediately understood everything.

"So that's why that file was encrypted," he said. "So, you don't even know."

"What do you mean? What encrypted file?" Ruby stood up, and a sudden panic surged in her heart, which made her feel a little panicked.

"I'm not sure if I should tell you..." AI Tony said.

"Tell me!" Ruby said anxiously.

"Okay." There seemed to be some helplessness in AI Tony's voice, "Don't be so anxious, kid..."

He quickly pulled up a video of what happened that night.

The system has always been a silent recorder, it dutifully preserved everything that happened in the form of three-dimensional video, although it never told Ruby.

Ruby sat quietly on the sofa, watching the picture displayed by the holographic projection.

After reading it, she sat there for a while.

"So it is," she said, "I never knew..."

She has never known how she escaped from that mutual illusion.

And now, the truth is out.

At the end of the video, Constantine fell to the ground and was dragged by Lucifer into the dark alley. The blood gushing from his chest almost stained the ground red.

In this case, it is almost impossible for him to survive.The person who wants to take his soul is Lucifer after all, the supreme existence beyond the multiverse after the Creator.

There was a dead silence in the office.

"...This is so stupid." Ruby was silent for a while, and then said suddenly, "Why would he do this? He deliberately tricked me, but gave up his chance to live to fish me out? This fool, he just If he didn't do this, Tony Stark wouldn't be so arrogant now! This person is simply a fool!"

She thought, if Constantine hadn't changed his mind at the last minute, she would still be imprisoned in each other's illusion, which meant that Bai Can could not use her as a battle suit without weaknesses, and Constantine would also be kept With the powerful magical power that came down, he has the ability to restore the white pot to its original state.

But as soon as he changed his mind, it was all ruined.

He died, and the hope of making Baiguan a human being again from the magical level was shattered, and an indestructible magic barrier covering the universe suddenly burst.

And Ruby was forced to become an accomplice of the white pot to harm the world-although it seems that Constantine is not to blame at all.

"Fraud!" Ruby was going crazy, "It's unbelievable! He's going to cheat me even after he dies! He thought..."

Did he think she would thank him?

Ruby covered her eyes.

Her hands were almost shaking.

"Why... do you want to do this?" Her voice was a little trembling, "Why don't you just scum to the end..."

If the system hadn't been compromised, could this video never have been seen?

He just died silently in that dark and dirty alley, no one knew what he had done for this world.

Granted, he's not a conventionally good guy, but he deserves a better ending.

Instead of going through such a painful, long, almost brutal death to save an alien creature who cursed him to Hell, to be dragged to Hell, to be torn apart in a never-ending cycle of nightmares, over and over again.

If this is the price of saving the world, how many people have the courage to take this step?

Pepper couldn't help but hugged the little girl who was on the verge of collapse, patted her on the back lightly, and comforted her gently: "It's all over, Ruby, it's all right now. We have to look forward."

After a while, Ruby nodded.

"You're right," she whispered. "It's over."

People always have to look forward.

Everything... will pass.

"So..." AI Tony said, "Konstantin's path may not work."

"Then what do you think?" Ruby asked, "You always come to me after you have a solution, right?"

AI Tony said: "Yes, we do have a way."

Ruby cheered up a little and asked, "What way?"

"As you can see, I can help you win some system permissions." AI Tony said, "So we now have two ways to go.

"The first way is, I will slowly seize all the system permissions, so that he cannot use you, and then we will find a way to defeat him.

"This process may be very long, and it is also easy to be discovered, so you need to cooperate to divert his attention and cover me. It is best to find a way to make him have no time to focus on the system and catch him by surprise. If you It would be even better if you can find a way to find foreign aid... Although I don't want to admit it, your hosts are very suitable. What old bats, old popsicles... are barely okay.

"As for the second way..." He hesitated.

Pepper looked at the phone screen, frowned, and shook his head slightly.

"... Forget it, don't use the second way, let's go with the first way." AI Tony said.

Ruby was a little puzzled: "What is the second way?"

"..."

Both Pepper and AI Tony fell into a moment of silence.

Looking at their expressions, Ruby suddenly thought of a possibility.

"You can enter my system now, which means you can use some functions of the system." She said, her tone was unexpectedly calm, "So, you can help me use the functions of the system, right?"

"……Yes."

"Then you should know," Ruby said softly, "there is a function of reset, right?"

Once reset, Ruby will become an ordinary symbiote with obvious weaknesses and very easy to target, which means that White Tank is no longer invulnerable-he will have a weakness, and that weakness is Ruby herself.

Another moment of silence.

After a while, AI Tony said: "We have considered this method, but... this is too unfair to you."

After all, they saw Ruby's difficulties along the way.

They knew exactly how much sacrifice she had made to get to this point.

Because of this, they don't want to ruin the efforts of such a kind and pure child because of Tony Stark's own mistakes.

This is so unfair.

——Even if the risk of this method is much smaller and the difficulty is much smaller, the possibility of unexpected situations is also very low.

After thinking for a while, Ruby asked, "How long will it take you to fully crack the system?"

"He modified your system to a great extent." AI Tony said, "He combined your system with his suit support system so that you can be perfectly integrated into his suit... ...This part involves his core code, and I don't know how long it will take to crack it."

"The problem is he's still updating the system, right?" Ruby said.

AI Tony was silent for a moment, and said, "...Yes."

Every update of the system represents an increase in the difficulty of cracking, which will delay the cracking time indefinitely.

Long nights and dreams, this is too risky.

Ruby stood up and walked to the window.

She looked down at San Francisco at the foot of the new Stark Tower, a city covered in the shadow of the White Devil.

The Extremis virus has turned this place into a paradise for supermodels, and it has also turned this place into a den of legal drug production.

Maybe after people react, more heroes will come to stop him, but with the symbiote armor, who can do anything to get him?

Ruby sighed.

For some reason, she suddenly thought of Constantine again.

——She thought, how did he make a decision when he was faced with a dilemma?

In all fairness, Tony Stark has never hurt her in a real sense, even, he has always been very kind to her, pampering and responsive, and even willing to share with her his ambition to be at the top of the world.Tony Stark will give her everything she wants if she sticks to the bottom line.

After all, the 90.00% bewitching degree is not just a display.

How much courage do you need to resolutely give up everything you have to save this world that is not necessarily worth saving?

She turned her head, looked at Pepper and AI Tony, and said softly: "Let me think about it again."

Pepper stepped forward and gave the girl a gentle hug: "Don't be too hard on yourself, Ruby, everything will be fine."

Ruby nodded.

……

Early the next morning, Ruby opened her eyes and glanced at the time. It was already past nine o'clock in the morning.

Tony didn't come to wake her up as usual.

Gone are the high-end desserts that would appear in front of you as soon as you open your eyes.

As he said yesterday, he didn't care about Ruby.

Ruby sat up on the soft velvet bed, straightened her messy hair, and got out of bed with a yawn.

She doesn't have a metabolism, so she doesn't feel hungry, so eating isn't a necessity for her.After the system was controlled by Bai Can, she couldn't use the illusion skill to change clothes, so she could only change into a relatively normal coat in the closet, put on white shoes, and left the room.

For the first time in half a month, she walked out of the new Stark Tower.

Tony Stark really didn't stop her, the journey was unimpeded, even when she wanted to leave Alcatraz Island, an unmanned boat would rush to pick her up immediately, and the boat was even filled with all kinds of delicacies, But Ruby didn't move.

She set foot on the land of San Francisco alone and walked in this strange city.

Walking on the streets are some supermodel-level beautiful men and women, with enthusiastic smiles on their faces, making loud noises and praising each other.Strangers also hugged and kissed each other, and raised their glasses to drink happily.

It looks like a real paradise.

A beautiful young girl like Ruby would always be noticed when walking alone on the street. Soon, a handsome, tall blond young man approached her and stopped her with his hand.

Ruby looked at him suspiciously, and silently asked him what he was doing with his eyes.

The blond young man said: "Honey, you look very unfamiliar."

Ruby frowned at the endearing answer of "honey," and said, "Do you know everyone in this city?"

The blond young man seemed to be amused, he said with a smile: "No, but I remember every beauty who is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off, my dear."

After speaking, he approached Ruby, lowered his head and sniffed her hair, and whispered, "You smell so sweet, like candy."

Ruby took a step back in disgust, and said irritably, "Get out of the way."

The blond young man showed a smile that he thought was very attractive, and grabbed Ruby's arm: "Don't be so spicy, little beauty, why don't we go find a place and find out if you taste like it? That sweet?"

When Ruby heard this, she immediately raised her leg and kicked this disgusting thing that came out of nowhere more than ten meters away.

"Aww!" The blond young man fell directly on the trash can behind him, screaming and fell to the ground rolling around.

Ruby turned around in disgust, and left the street expressionlessly.

--Heaven?No, that's just an illusion.

This place is nothing but a hell where people indulge their desires.
