Onmyoji's Superhero Edible Guide

The first moment Tony saw the appearance of the two in the dream, he was even a little dazed.

Stark couple.

his parents.

The man standing in front of Tony, Howard Stark, still had a familiar moustache, and there was a light wrinkle between his brows caused by frowning all the year round, even the suit he was wearing was so——

look familiar.

Yes, of course it looks familiar.

After all, Tony had watched Howard leave home in this suit.

...and never came back.

——At that time, Tony was still stingy in expressing his love for his parents.

Mrs. Stark, who was standing behind, looked back at Tony. The woman's brows and eyes relaxed, and she said softly, "Should I say Happy Christmas Eve now?"

She raised her hand and patted Howard in front of her, "Are you right?"

"...Oh, of course," Howard took a deep breath and made up his mind to speak in a tone that Tony had rarely heard before, "Happy Christmas Eve, Tony."

Tony Stark's brain, which was once envied, envied and slandered by countless people, has been working hard for a long time.

his parents.

Ha, it turns out that these few words will look so incredible just by putting them together.

His parents were telling him Happy Christmas Eve.

When was the last time this scene happened?How many years ago?

"Deriya is right, this is really—" Tony lowered his head and held his forehead, speechless for a while, "It was a good dream."

In fact, Tony has always believed in what Delia said.

After all, the little girl can change planets with her bare hands and stop death by force. No matter what absurd and wonderful things she does, it doesn't seem too surprising.

... Well, this time it did surprise him.

Tony originally thought that the 'good dreams' that Delia mentioned should refer to the quality of his sleep that had risen sharply during this period of time.

After all, Tony hasn't been sleeping well since walking out of that cave.He is used to having all kinds of strange nightmares every night: sometimes it is the picture of his parents leaving home, sometimes it is the battery embedded in his body in the cave, and sometimes it is countless alien enemies falling from the sky——of course There were teammates who fell because of his mistakes.

The broken shield, the agent lying on the ground, the quiver still in his hand, the blond hair covered in dust and blood, the dust kicked up when Hulk fell, the boy who disappeared in front of him, and even the helpless mage—— For a while after getting to know Deliya, there was a crying little blue-haired girl in her dreams.

At the beginning, I always feel fear and anxiety like suffocation because of these dreams.

Later, Tony even got used to it: After every nightmare, he was woken up by the siren of the smart housekeeper, and listened to the other party's report of his abnormal heartbeat that had just suddenly increased, as well as his disordered breathing rate.

'Used to it. ' Tony had answered the smart butler nonchalantly.

Anxiety and fear are normal.Because no one is omnipotent and fully in control of the future, people will always suffer from what they cannot do.This is not a sign of cowardice, but because they go too fast and think too far, so they are under more pressure.

——If a person flies too high, his heart will freeze.

But Tony hasn't been troubled by nightmares since Delia came in with her long-nosed pig.

With the help of the nightmare-eating tapir, Tony's dreams, every night, suddenly become very peaceful.There was no more death and darkness.

After waking up many times, Tony even felt as if he was a child again.Back then, the quilt and the bed were his safest fortresses of warmth, where he could act like a spoiled child to his mother—and occasionally, of course, hear Howard's bedtime stories.

…Tony had thought it was a Christmas present from Delia for them.For superheroes, 'great sleep' is a gift indeed.

So when he first heard Deliya's words, Tony still had a sense of superiority in his heart, which stemmed from the pride of 'I received this gift earlier than you all'.

...It turns out that the gift prepared by Deliya is far more than this surprise.

"That girl," the woman walked to Tony and looked at him with loving and gentle eyes, "she has the power to communicate with the undead, and she helped us enter your dream."

"Be sure to thank her on our behalf, okay?"

In fact, the Howards are not the same as the kind of ghosts that Deria used to deal with before. They are not like Yunu or Prajna, who stay in the world for a long time because of their powerful thoughts; they are just a few fragments of souls left in this world. Hovering beside Aiko Tony.

Compared with "undead", they are more like a kind of emotional sustenance left by human beings after death.It cannot communicate with the outside world, but it still exists.

Deliya used the power of yin and yang, coupled with the Yan Devil Envoy buff she just drew last night, and finally succeeded in conveying this emotional sustenance.

"Oh, oh," Tony replied automatically, "Of course, I guessed, she said she would give us Christmas presents."

"Tony," the wise woman saw Tony's nervousness, she took Tony's hand and comforted him softly, "You have always done a good job, you are our pride."

After she finished speaking, she couldn't help smiling again, and rubbed the scar on Tony's hand, "My God, I never thought you would have so many wounds on your hand."

Obviously in her memory, her child, her Tony, was born with such small hands that they could wrap them in their palms, lying on the pram and laughing.

Alas, now he is also a proud adult.

It turned out that they missed it for so many years.

Motherly instinct makes her feel sorry for every wound on Tony's body, but she manages to change the subject, "I guess you're going to say to me 'Hey! That's the symbol of a hero!' Right?"

She knows her child too well, he will have a vulnerable side, but also more dazzling and proud than anyone else.

"...Of course." Tony raised his signature smile, "That's true."

Howard's eyes fell on Tony, finally revealing the softness he had deliberately restrained, "Tony, you have always been our pride."

After a long separation, Howard finally learned to be open about his feelings.

"It has nothing to do with whether you are Iron Man or not, or even the future of SI. Your existence is our pride."

Because it was his child, the continuation of his blood, the miracle born after the fusion of his flesh and blood with his wife.

"..." It was rare for Howard to say such provocative words, he choked up a bit before continuing to add, "Of course this doesn't mean that I'm not proud of 'Iron Man' and Stark Industries—"

"I know." Tony interrupted his voice hastily, and embraced his parents with open arms, "...I know."

Everyone said that Tony Stark grew up under the eyes of the public and enjoyed a luxurious life that outsiders could never imagine. He is the richest man in New York and a superhero Iron Man. He is a man with dual cool identities. He is simply the lucky one favored by God.

Ha, favored by God?It wasn't until a few years ago that he was convinced that his father loved him.

"..." The Howards didn't speak any more, and the family members who had been separated for many years hugged each other silently.

They finally had the chance to express their love to their children.

And he finally had the chance to really embrace them.

This dream is longer than the scene that Tony has replayed countless times, and it can support the family who reunited after a long time to talk together for a long time.

"Oh yes, and that old popsicle..." Tony shared his memories with an unprecedented enthusiasm, just like a child reporting to his parents after school, "What did I do and what I learned at school today".

——Although Tony has never done such a stupid thing since he skipped a grade to finish elementary school.

...well, he admits, he's really happy to do such stupid things.

God, how long has it been since he's 'telling his story to his parents'?

Tony thought that after saying goodbye to his parents, he would wake up immediately.He's even ready to hear the familiar voice of the smart butler.

But—no.

After a few seconds of darkness, Tony saw a familiar face again.

Ethan.

The man who saved him in the cave and even helped him become Iron Man.Too many people don't know his existence, but he really changed the fate of Iron Man.

"Hey," Ethan smiled, "Sure enough, if I want to see you, I still have to wait in line."

"Ironn, that's a good name." Ethan nodded with satisfaction, "And the battle armor you made later is also very cool, much better than the big iron block you made in the cave before."

Tony replied subconsciously, "That's Tony Stark's aesthetic, of course it's cool enough."

"..." The two men who established a friendship in a life-and-death crisis, and then separated because of the crisis, looked at each other and laughed.

After Ethan approached, he raised his hand and lightly touched Tony's reactor, "Very exquisite equipment."

I don't know if I'm praising myself or Tony.

"What about that saying that used to be popular? The Tin Woodman—"

#Does the Tin Woodman have a heart?

Once an extremely popular trending topic on Twitter.

How many people love the dazzling publicity of Iron Man and Stark, how many people hate his arrogant wisdom.

People question how dangerous Iron Man's ultra-high-strength equipment will be if it is privatized, but they all want to be Iron Man, and they even have a kind of self-confidence that 'I can do it if I have money'.

...But there are so many rich people, and there are only a few 'fools' who can put down their wine glasses, put on their battle clothes, and rush to the front line of human beings.

Tony has long been accustomed to various discussion topics around him, he shrugged casually, "You have performed surgery on me yourself, and you must know best whether I have a heart or not."

He patted the big guy at his heart, "Many people say that this thing is my heart."

Artificial, cold, unnatural.

"You had a heart long before that." Ethan shook his head disapprovingly, "And it's a very precious heart."

"..." Tony is not used to dealing with this kind of scene, he was silent for a while before he spoke, "well, this probably proves that at least I did what I promised you."

Tony has always wanted to say this, but he didn't have the chance until now, "like cherishing life or something..."

"Of course." Ethan replied firmly.

"You did it, and you've been doing it well."

"Oh my God, I didn't expect that I could see you again so soon," Ethan himself couldn't bear the sensational atmosphere, and quickly changed the subject unnaturally, "My emotional sustenance and soul fragments are actually in your Body — wow, this thing sounds so gross."

"But it also makes sense, after all, didn't I tell you before," Ethan continued with a smile, "My family and I were reunited in another world."

And in the high school boy's room, the little spider in the dream pulled his parents and uncle, and began to speak at the highest speed to report his experience.

Said what he had successfully prevented, what he had experienced, and what he had repelled.Speaking of his comrades in arms, his battle clothes, his companions, his relatives and friends...

In fact, talking is not just because of personality, but because people always want to record and leave more memories after losing too much.

"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility—" Spider-Man is still just a child, and he couldn't help but have some tears in his voice, "I will work hard——I will definitely be able to bear these responsibilities,"

Uncle Ben stroked Peter's hair, "Don't worry, you can do it."

“But while taking responsibility, you also have to take care of yourself.”

Ben Parker didn't stay in Peter's dream all the time, because—"I'm going to see May, we haven't spent Christmas together for a long time."

"Aunt May?" Peter rubbed his eyes indiscriminately, his tone surprised, "Can you go see her too?"

"Uh, I mean, I thought you could only come to the dreams of certain targets."

"That's right," Ben nodded, "but your little girl is very generous, she is willing to help us meet the people we want to meet."

It's a two-way trip.

Cross the boundary of yin and yang, fight the barrier of life and death.

Only this time, what the little onmyoji brings is not a night walk of ghosts, but a good dream.

In the dream, there is a dance that is too late for many years, there are rare warm memories in the red house, there is the father of the Krypton boy on the farm, there is even the wife of a military doctor's agent, the red beard of Mr. Detective, and the air force captain of Princess Amazon ——

They danced the missed dance in their dreams, let go of their blood debt, told their father that they had become the person he expected, told about the current situation of their children, faced death calmly, and poured out the love they had missed...

They gave the girl a bowl of noodles, wishing the girl to say goodbye to the troubles of the past;

And the girl brought them a dream to help them bid farewell to the past.

"My God," Watson hugged his wife Mary, "I can't wait to learn magic now."

"Okay, John," the lady agent said helplessly, "Even if you change your profession now, you should only be the type of hobbit. It probably has nothing to do with the undead."

"...Then Sherlock might be able to do it." The good doctor was always obsessed with letting his best friend change careers. "He has been very effective in speaking recently... I don't think Doctor Strange is as talented as him."

Mary: "...I will inform Sherlock later."

As for 'Santa Claus' Deria, who had finished distributing the presents, she was sitting on the roof in a thick coat and blowing the wind, "I hope everything goes well."

Outong: "...Although I am also very touched by the gift you brought, I must remind you that this action cost you [-] points."

"Hmm—" Deliya thought thoughtfully after hearing this sentence, "Are you reminding me to spawn a few more villains to make up for the consumption this time?"

OTC: "..." There is absolutely no such possibility!

But Deriya was very satisfied with this proposal, "It just so happens that we are in Gotham now, I can drop by Arkham to wish everyone an early New Year—"

Aotong: "..." Why do I talk so much? !

The intelligent AI changed the subject very bluntly, "Then we have to go back to the original starting point. I still disapprove of the host staying in Gotham at such a late night."

He didn't think the villains would be more civic-minded, and they could have a holiday on Christmas Eve, and also give the vigilantes a holiday.

"No way," Deriya shrugged, holding the wine she exchanged from the system store, "I'm wearing the buffs of judge and Yan Mo on my body now, and I can see ghosts; I just helped so many soul fragments fall into dreams , so now New York and the metropolis seem to me... colorful and lively."

Looking up, it's too lively... It's the picture of your souls hanging around ==.

For example, Mary went to see Sherlock after watching Watson, or Ben Parker went to see May after watching Peter. This is a relatively close switch.But there was also Howard who took his wife to see Steve, and chatted with Peggy by the way...

Each soul fragment also has its own light.

The scene was like the scene when Shuten and Ibaraki used their ultimate moves at the same time, like blowing up the special effects company and the fireworks factory.

Even Deliya, who has a strong mental capacity, couldn't bear this kind of mental pollution, and immediately wrapped up her clothes and ran away to Gotham City, which was outside the coverage of the buff.

Because of the rigid requirements of the system buff, it can only take effect on Deliya's 'teammates'.So those people who Deria helped to bring good dreams were actually people who fought side by side with her.

Even Wonder Woman, who only met a few times, had the same goal and cooperated when fighting Superman.

But all the little birds in Gotham City, Deriya only saw them after the battle, and they couldn't be judged as "teammates" at all.

Red Hood is Delia's only teammate in Gotham.But the other party is not asleep yet——

And Deria didn't connect to his emotional sustenance either.

Red Hood was very clean, like a newborn.

There is no buff effect, so Deria is here in Gotham, with a very wide field of vision.

This reason is too strong, even Outong has no way to refute it, so he can only say: "I always thought that the host couldn't summon the dead."

"After all, you, the host, have always firmly believed in your attitude towards death that 'death is irreversible.'"

"Actually, it's very difficult," Deliya opened Shuten's small flagon, "after all, very few souls are willing to stay in the underworld without being reincarnated—"

What's more, such things as reincarnation and reincarnation are not determined by the soul itself.The civil servants of the local government have a very mature and complete set of related operating systems.

"And once reincarnated, no powerful onmyoji can summon it." Why, can they kill the reincarnated person and send them back to the underworld? ?

"But this time it's not a summoning of the undead, it can only be regarded as gathering the feelings of the dead scattered in this world."

After saying this, Deliya was silent for a moment, "I also tried this method when I was in Heianjing."

After all, among her Shikigami, there are too many people who have experienced death.

"It's about the same as this time, and the effect is quite successful." Although the loss was huge and she couldn't leave the room for three or four days, it was worth it.

The system asked casually after hearing the words: "Then you should have met your parents too?"

"No, there isn't. I am the caster, I must stay awake, it is impossible to dream."

"And—maybe my parents didn't leave much emotional fragments in me."

"...?"

Delia's parents fell in love with each other at first sight.The eldest lady of the Onmyoji family ran away with the fox demon desperately. At first they lived a very happy life. The fox carefully concealed her identity, pretending to be ordinary people and living in an ordinary village with the eldest lady.

——Until Missy is pregnant.

A human body with no spiritual power will give birth to a half-demon.

This is a very painful thing.At the time of childbirth, in order to alleviate the pain of her lover and extend her life, the fox demon power ran amok, pouring all the demon power into the other party's body.

This kind of power ran wild, and immediately attracted the hunting and killing of the surrounding Onmyoji.

Fox demon, her father died on the spot; and her mother struggled to survive for three days after giving birth. After handing Deliya to the family elders who heard the news, she also died of exhaustion.

... She is the one who brings tragedy to this love.

Aotong: ...Damn it, am I sick? Why do I keep talking about this kind of topic?

And under the alley wall where Deria sits,

"..." Jason looked at the fluffy tail that occupied half of the wall after spreading out, took a deep breath, and said helplessly, "Don't you take a break on Christmas Eve?"

"I heard the sound of your motorcycle just now." Deriya turned her head, and the earrings she hadn't taken off dangled behind her ears, "Aren't you also..."

The pupils of the little onmyoji shrank suddenly.

Under the buffs of Yan Mo and Ghost Envoy, the red hood in front of him clearly carried the breath of death.
