Princess Disease

Seeing the necklace glowing, Isabella's first reaction was to grab the pendant in her hand and pull it down——

It wasn't broken, and it wasn't even deformed. On the contrary, Isabella used too much force, and drew a thin mark on her fair neck, which scratched the skin a little, and looked a little scary.

She kept pulling and untied the necklace, so Isabella used slightly trembling hands to untie the necklace, but no matter how hard she tried, the clasp that usually snapped open now seemed to be welded to death, no matter how hard she tried Neither can be opened.

Now Isabella panicked, she didn't even bother to wrap herself in a bath towel, she stood up and jumped to the water table, staring at the mirror and the ruby ​​necklace around her neck.

After the two sides looked at each other for a few seconds, Ruby, under Isabella's eyes mixed with panic, curiosity, bewilderment, etc., gradually restrained the flickering lights on her body, and disguised herself as an afterthought. An unpretentious... ruby.

Isabella: ...

Jarvis: ...

"Miss, your neck..." Jarvis reminded in a low voice.

Because she hadn't recovered from the fright, Isabella almost thought that what Jarvis was going to say was "Miss, your neck is going to be strangled", so she subconsciously covered the back of her neck, and then listened. Jarvis said slowly: "—the wound seems to be healed."

"..." Isabella coughed in embarrassment: "Little Jia, don't pant when you speak."

Jarvis:? ? ?

what happened?

There was a little deviation in Jarvis' understanding of the master's words, so he plunged into the vast ocean of the Internet and began to search for what Isabella's words meant when he was puzzled.

Isabella didn't expect that her casual remarks would cause a lot of trouble to the AI ​​who was still studying, and she focused all her energy on the ruby ​​necklace.

Through the mirror covered with water vapor, Isabella found that the red marks on her neck were disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye. She stretched out her hand and touched it lightly, but there was no other feeling.

"Hey," Isabella tentatively picked up the ruby ​​with her fingers, and she asked softly, "Did you heal my wound?"

Ruby didn't say a word -- nonsense, gems certainly don't talk.

Isabella patted her forehead, secretly feeling dizzy, she coughed, and asked in another way: "Are you responsible for all the strange things that happened around me? Yes, just light it up, or just Light it up twice?"

Jarvis, who was still distracted by the movement in the bathroom, was checking the information: ...

Forcibly pretending to be an etheric particle of an ordinary gem: ...Hmph, only a fool will light it up. Once it lights up, doesn't it mean that there is something wrong with me?

No matter how much Isabella poked here and there, the jewel ignored her at all, as if the shower gel floating up and the shimmering light just now were the illusions of Miss Stark and Jarvis.

After tossing for a long time without any results, the initial panic receded, and the feeling of anger came back. Isabella became angry no matter how good-tempered she was. What! He came to me out of nowhere, took over my necklace, and made such a mess of things. It’s fine if you don’t admit it, but don’t let me throw you away! Why are you so unreasonable?”

Jarvis was beginning to feel worried—is it normal or abnormal for a lady to stand naked in front of a mirror and quarrel with a necklace?Do you want to report the matter to Mr....

Isabella coerced and lured her for a long time, but the gemstone was as stable as Mount Tai, it wouldn't move when killed, and it was honestly shrunk in her hands.In the end, Isabella was completely speechless. She smashed the jar, let go of the necklace and let the necklace lie back in place, pulled the big towel hanging on the shelf to wrap herself, and sneezed a series of sneezes.

"Miss, you have a cold!" Before Isabella had any reaction, Jarvis spoke first: "I made an appointment for your family doctor, who will be there in a while, and ordered Xiaodai to boil hot water..."

Isabella got dressed and was wiping her hair with a towel, when she heard this, she was taken aback suddenly: "Wait, who did you ask to boil water for me?"

"Derpy," said Jarvis, "Sir has perfected its system..."

"Oh no," Isabella wailed, wrapping the towel over her face.

Isabella's Crow's Mouth skill was activated again - she went to the [-]th floor to find Thor, the god of thunder, and as soon as she got out of the elevator door, she saw Sol standing by the bar in the small living room with his hands behind his back, watching Xiaodai Boiling water fumblingly.

"What is this?" Sol beckoned to Isabella: "Is it a demolition device invented by you people in the atrium? Its power is quite amazing. I watched it rush all the way from the corridor and smashed five A vase smashed the door of this platform..."

Saul sat down outside the bar, bent his fingers and tapped on the table: "...and knocked down a wine cabinet."

That's right, there are already ruins around Xiaodai. Its tracks creaked and rolled over broken glass and wood chips. With its clumsy little paws, it held up a cup of hot water and handed it to Isabella.

Half of the water spilled out.

"Little Dai, Dad will tear you down!"

Isabella held the hot water cup in her hands, and looked at the mechanical arm waving up and down in front of her without love.

The mechanical arm stopped stiffly, and the small claws on the top slowly opened to the surroundings, like an innocent person's eyes widening in horror.

"No, ma'am, that's not going to happen," Jarvis said in a heavy voice, "Mister will just donate Derpy to MIT—"

Xiaodai's mechanical arm hung down in despondency, and landed on the ground, gently sliding the ground with his little paws uneasily.

"Jarvis," said Isabella, dumbfounded, "don't forget who made it boil the water."

"But my husband won't donate me."

Two beams of chasing light intersected on the ceiling, and a figure of a man in a black suit and a dark blue striped tie appeared in the light beams. He stretched out his hand and loosened his tie, and walked towards the bar silently: " He also needs me to help him deal with the miscellaneous mess of the company-before he finds an all-round assistant as capable as me or Miss you inherit the company."

"That's really difficult," Isabella shook her head, and she thought of Ms. Rushman again—now she should be called Miss Romanoff: "If there is one assistant left, let's hire another one? This time Both men and women will do."

"I've sent a notice to the HR department," Jarvis "sat" down on the chair next to Isabella, and nodded, "I hope we can recruit the right people this time."

"This is... a phantom?" Sol pointed at Jarvis with a surprised expression: "Are you a magician?"

"No...not right," Thor immediately denied his guess: "I didn't feel any trace of magic power flowing, and of course it might be the reason why I lost my power now."

"Can't you fix a theory?" Isabella looked at Sol amusedly: "Of course not magicians. Before today, I didn't know there were creatures like magicians on earth."

"It's modern technology."

"Magicians have always existed. It has been quietly passed down from ancient times to the present. I have read the history of the atrium. There was a time when you humans persecuted those who can use magic." Sol corrected Isabella's opinion solemnly. : "Of course there are reasons for the black magicians to cause trouble, but it is undeniable that if there were no magicians silently protecting the earth, with such a backward technological level on the earth, you would have long been watched by those evil forces hidden deep in the universe. invaded."

Sol shrugged.

Isabella and Jarvis looked at each other.

"Then may I ask..." Isabella stood up calmly and walked behind the bar. She picked out a few ingredients and began to mix the drink: "What is the level of technology where you live?"

Smelling the mellow smell of wine, a joyful expression appeared on Sol's face. He didn't seem to care about Isabella's blatant routine, and said casually: "It's okay, anyway, it's the top among the nine countries. Yes, but the universe is vast, there are many countries, and there may be a higher level of civilization outside of countless galaxies."

Hearing these words, Isabella was slightly startled—if Thor, the god of thunder, is a genuine Asgardian, and not a deliberate deception set up by some evil forces, then he has revealed at least three pieces of information : First, there are indeed other interstellar civilizations outside the earth; second, the technological level of the earth is very backward in the eyes of aliens; third, the reason why the earth has not been destroyed is because of the existence of magicians.

...Where is this all?The first two and the third seem to have different styles?

Fortunately, Sol is not a trickster, he immediately solved Isabella's doubts: "But the magician only protects the earth from being invaded by evil forces from other worlds. If it is other intelligent creatures, it may not be able to prevent it." .”

The Jarvis projection sitting on the chair silently remembered this point - what the magician is fighting against is the evil forces of the alien world, not other intelligent creatures in the universe.

Jarvis seemed to want to ask something, but Isabella gave him a wink, and he silently lowered his head.

Isabella didn't ask immediately. She poured the prepared ingredients into the glass, mixed it with tomato juice and stirred well, then stuck a slice of lemon for decoration on the edge of the glass, and put in a sprig of coriander for decoration. This bloody Mary was pushed in front of Saul: "Try it?"

Sol exhaled into his palms, rubbed his palms together, and excitedly picked up the blood-red drink and took a big sip——

Then it almost didn't come out.

Isabella: ...

"Miss, I have persuaded you to mix it with a wine that ordinary people can accept." Jarvis's helpless voice came from the Bluetooth headset: "Even if you just serve this Thor a glass of vodka."

Thor is no ordinary person!Isabella muttered disapprovingly.

"Cough cough cough!" Sol still had a good face and didn't spray it out directly. He barely swallowed a large mouthful of Bloody Mary, coughed continuously, and held the glass of water pushed by Isabella: "It's a bit choking... ...It actually tastes pretty good..."

"Don't force yourself," Isabella rested her chin and watched Saul gulp down a large glass of water, and sighed helplessly: "Forget it, drink something else, vodka, brandy, or something else you want Like... Coca-Cola?"

Every time Isabella said the name of a kind of wine, she took out a glass bottle from under the cabinet, except for the last one—a large bottle of Coke only had a plastic bottle.

"You can drink these slowly, but I'm a little hungry," Sol touched his flat stomach: "Is there anything to eat?"

Isabella and Jarvis sat side by side on the sofa with expressionless faces. Opposite them, Saul was sucking his oily fingers with satisfaction: "Mmm...delicious!"

Three family buckets, 18 yuan of spicy chicken wings, all went into Sol's stomach.

"Does your stomach lead to a different dimension?" Isabella held the Coke bottle and bit the straw. She couldn't help it for a long time, but she asked, "Are you full?"

"It's okay," Sol felt it, and nodded reservedly: "Half full."

Isabella took a deep breath, took out the phone that had fallen into the crack of the sofa, and dialed KFC's takeaway number through gritted teeth: "Three more family buckets!"

"No, no, too much!" Saul raised his hand: "Two copies are enough."

Jarvis silently made a motion to support his forehead.

"Atrium people," Thor drank a large glass of Coke in one gulp, he smiled with satisfaction: "For the sake of your hospitality..."

Isabella coughed in dissatisfaction, reached out to pick up Mjolnir on the low cabinet, and threw it twice threateningly.

Thor:  …

"Miss Stark," Thor sniffed, and changed his words a little aggrieved, "Thank you for taking me in and giving me something to eat..."

That's about the same, Isabella is satisfied.

"It's not by accident that I came to the atrium," Saul squeezed the Coke cup into a ball of waste paper and threw it into the trash can: "It's because I have something important to do."

"I know," Isabella bit the straw and said vaguely, "You were demoted by your father."

"It's not derogation, it's experience." Thor straightened his body suddenly: "My father hopes that I can solve a problem that happened on Earth. As long as I can help you survive this crisis smoothly, it will prove that I have the right to become king." Ability."

"Miss Stark, have you heard of the Rubik's Cube?" Sol looked at Isabella seriously: "About 70 years ago, God's Domain sensed the energy emanating from this infinite gem. After many investigations, we It is unwise to determine that it is in the atrium at this time, and someone opened its seal."

Thorn paused, and said in an extremely serious tone: "You don't have the ability to start a war with other races and civilizations in the universe, but you have already sent the signal to the outer space to start a war. If you don't want to be destroyed, take me to find the Cosmic Rubik's Cube. I will completely cut it off from the outside world."

Isabella could vaguely feel the seriousness of the matter, but she didn't have a clear idea of ​​the specifics. However, in the secret conference room of S.H.I.E.L.D., Howard and Tony, who monitored Stark Tower through Jarvis, The others were shocked.
