[Comprehensive] The Last Assassin

"Fry, wake up, we're here."

After resting all the way, Shen Qiong heard Dick's calling clearly. She barely opened her eyes, and saw Dick parked the car at Tony Stark's single-family villa in the suburbs of Boston, looking at the dark room, a little Unsure: "But your friend doesn't seem to be at home? Do you need me to 'go in' for you?"

Dick bit down on the word "go in", and Shen Qiong knew that he was asking if he wanted to break in - after all, entering a house with no guards, for them, was the same as entering a buffet that was open store makes no difference.

Shen Qiong reached out and pressed her neck, shaking her head.

The night was so dark that Dick couldn't see her pale lips.All he saw was that the assassin shook his head normally, took out his mobile phone with some complacency, and said indifferently: "No, he left the door for me."

Sure enough, Shen Qiong called into the phone: "Jarvis, please open the door for me."

As soon as Shen Qiong finished speaking, the room was still completely dark, and the room that was almost hidden in the night suddenly turned on the lights.The originally locked iron door let out a crisp rattle and slowly opened in front of them.An audio image of Jarvis appeared on the electronic screen next to the iron gate.

This Tony Stark's exclusive AI butler said to Shen Qiong: "Welcome back, Miss Frye, Sir is out, do you need me to inform him that you are here?"

Shen Qiong supported the wall, put the phone back into her pocket, and walked into the house familiarly, while saying to Jarvis: "It's okay, it's not urgent anyway, I'll wait for him to come back."

After saying that, Shen Qiong asked again: "Borrow the bathroom, where is it?"

Jarvis said: "Miss Frye, I will guide you."

As the adopted son of Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson should be familiar with all the novelties brought by technology, but it is the first time he has seen someone actually write a set of "AI" as his house. housekeeper.As far as he knows, there is only one guy who is most used to using AI butlers, and whose AI is so anthropomorphic.

Dick raised his eyebrows at Shen Qiong: "Tony Stark's home?"

When Shen Qiong heard the words, she turned her head and looked at him innocently. Dick immediately understood what Shen Qiong meant.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, recalling the scene when he first met Shen Qiong, and recalling her surprised expression at that time - there was indeed an inexplicable bewilderment mixed in it.

Dick affirmed: "At the dinner, Tony Stark wasn't harassing you at all."

Shen Qiong blinked.

Dick became more and more certain: "You have no chance to enter the venue with a murder weapon. Only Tony Stark has this ability. He is your ally."

Shen Qiong smiled slightly, gave a thumbs up with a "hush" expression, and shook her mobile phone: "There are some things that don't need to be said."

She paused: "For example, your brother became a Templar."

Dick wanted to say something, but he swallowed all his words when he thought of Shen Qiong's hostile attitude towards the Templars. He finally glanced at Shen Qiong and reversed the steering of the motorcycle: "Then I'm going back?"

Shen Qiong nodded: "Okay, I have news here and will inform you."

Dick nodded, put on his helmet, and restarted his motorcycle.Shen Qiong looked at his back, thought for a while, and stopped him.Dick turned his head in confusion, and saw Shen Qiong reaching out and throwing the U disk to him.

"Your brother's, here you are."

Dick was a little surprised, but the assassin waved his hand and jumped into the room from the window on the second floor without saying a word.

Ye Yi stared at Shen Qiong's back for a while, and couldn't help laughing.

Shen Qiong followed Jarvis' guidance and walked into a bathroom on the second floor.The bright white light made her pupils shrink for a moment, and she couldn't even see herself clearly in the mirror.She reached out and slid her hand over the neckline, and just wiped the blood-soaked ground lightly, and even the nails were soaked in red liquid.

In this case, it is not necessary to say that the wound and the cloth are glued together.It couldn't be easier for Shen Qiong to unbutton most of the neckline of her jacket, exposing her entire shoulders.She squinted at the reflection in the mirror.

There was a small scratch on her neck, and blood was oozing out non-stop at this moment.Skin trauma, the wound is not big, which is why she only felt a little dizzy after receiving it for so long, instead of falling directly to the ground.

Shen Qiong put some water, picked up a handful and tried to wash her shoulders that were completely dyed red, but the bleeding couldn't stop, even if she cleaned it, the blood seeped out again after a while.

Shen Qiong frowned.

...It wasn't this serious before, at most it just got better slowly.

She looked at her pale self in the mirror with a solemn expression.

"Miss Frye, I think you might need a doctor."

Shen Qiong's cell phone suddenly turned on, and Jarvis's voice was methodical, "Something's wrong with you."

Shen Qiong paused for a moment while pressing the hand on her wound, and said slowly: "No need."

She seemed to have made up her mind, and her fingertips slid across her neck. As the fingertips slid, the skin on her neck seemed to have never been injured. It seemed that the blood dripping before was just an illusion of red paint splashing .

"Look, there's no need for a doctor."

She smiled at Jarvis: "So can I trouble you not to tell this matter?"

"I'll send you a new memory stick."

Jarvis's voice sounded a bit hesitant—if the AI ​​intelligence really had the emotion of hesitation: "But Miss Frye, your situation seems—"

"No problem." Shen Qiong emphasized, "So don't bother Mr. Stark."

Shen Qiong washed her hands and wiped off the little blood left on her neck. Looking at her blood-soaked clothes, she really didn't want to put them back on again.So she turned to ask Jarvis seriously: "I'm sorry Jarvis, I really need to disturb him..."

"Could you tell Tony and trouble him to bring me a clean suit?"

Tony Stark had to seek more research on Animus because Shen Qiong asked him to do so.He is so busy that he is one head and two big, but he still has to accept new troubles from the guy who caused him the most trouble?

When Tony walked into the department store, his face was dark. He took out his card and asked the clerk to pack a whole set of clothes for him.

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, the clerk didn't even dare to ask for the size, and was planning to choose some normal sizes to trade.The unprovoked customer stopped them again with a black face, and gave them the approximate size.

The clerk who got the size was relieved, and was planning to pack the ancestor according to the price and send it away.After Tony Stark's face was gloomy for a while, he stopped the clerk again: "About ten years old."

The clerk was stunned for a moment, and immediately readjusted the target range, but before she had time to take one, Tony Stark added: "I like off-white and green, and I don't hate blue."

Clerk: "...Okay, Mr. Stark. Do you have any other needs?"

Tony thought about it, and added: "I am keen on sports, and I have higher requirements for comfort and convenience."

The clerk made a note and turned around to pick out clothes, but this time he was stopped again before he even finished turning around.The work ethic doesn't allow this lady to flip out, or she'd have slapped the card in Tony's face, instead of waiting here and continuing to smile and ask, "Is there anything else you want?"

Tony Stark spread his hands and frowned: "Forget it."

He was a little disgusted, "I'll do it myself."

Clerk: "...?" Then you were so upset about throwing cards and calling people?I don't understand the thinking of rich people!

Leaving the department store, Tony threw the whole bag of clothes on the back table, put on sunglasses, and rushed to the suburban residence like a motor.

He caught a glimpse of the things he bought from the rearview mirror, and began to think about what kind of expression the poor Shen Qiong would have when he saw them.Tony thought about it and felt that he was looking forward to it.

However, when he drove the car into the garage, he condescendingly carried a large bag of things and went straight home from the elevator in the garage. The elevator door had just opened, and the first thing he saw was sitting cross-legged in a bathrobe. Shen Qiong with bright eyes on his sofa.

Seeing that he was back, Shen Qiong was very happy, she spread her hands and asked, "Have you bought clothes for me?"

Tony stared at Shen Qiong's neck.

Tony looked at a small red spot on her neck. If he remembered correctly, this red spot should be the mark left by Shen Qiong accidentally bitten by a bug - and this should have happened ten days ago, the last time When he saw Shen Qiong, the erythema had almost disappeared.

How could this thing appear on her neck again now? Could it be that the same bug had bitten again in the same place?

Shen Qiong was a little guilty, she reached out and touched her neck: "Is there a problem?"

"No." Tony turned his gaze away and threw the bag to her. "I changed my clothes. It just so happens that there is something in the information you sent earlier that I need to tell you."

Shen Qiong sighed, then took the bag to change clothes.Tony Stark bought her something from here, so Shen Qiong didn't have to worry too much.It's just that after she changed her clothes, she couldn't help but looked at her neck carefully in the mirror for a while. When she noticed the red spot, she felt nervous for a moment.But she thought about it again, Tony Stark shouldn't have noticed her physical problems, after all, even she herself didn't realize such a small place at first.

Shen Qiong stretched out her hand and rubbed her skin twice, and found that the erythema could not go away, and then went out in frustration.

Tony has already deciphered the information sent back by Shen Qiong. As soon as Shen Qiong walked into his study, what he saw was all kinds of data floating around the room.

Shen Qiong stood there watching for a while, then felt dizzy, so she chose a more straightforward method and asked Tony: "Is the information sent valuable?"

"You are really lucky." Tony said, "This is Bernard's personal computer."

"It will take some time to fully process it, but I can tell you one thing first." Tony turned his gaze from the computer to Shen Qiong, "Bernard does have a piece of Eden in his hand, he and the exorcist Holy Order Mordred had a deal to exchange this 'Piece of Eden' for the rights of Lan Malloc in North America."

Shen Qiong almost immediately remembered the murder she witnessed in the seminary: "But he broke the contract!"

Tony nodded: "Yes, but this old man is very vigilant. Even after making such a deal with Mordred, he didn't tell the other party what the Pieces of Eden were in his hand."

He stared at Shen Qiong closely: "I guess Bernard is dead?"

Shen Qiong frowned: "Yes, but I didn't do it, it was Mordred who killed him."

"Then what do you think is the possibility that he has obtained the Piece of Eden from Bernard now?"

Shen Qiong pondered for a while, then slowly raised her eyes and looked at Tony. The genius was waiting for her answer with his arms folded.Shen Qiong suddenly felt that she had unlimited confidence, and she said with a smile: "Zero. Bernard is a cunning person. It is definitely not easy to think of the place where he hides the Pieces of Eden. What's more, Mordred even There was no sign of the fragments."

"That's right." Tony nodded and concluded sharply, "So even though Bernard is dead, we are still on the same starting line as him. It depends on who can guess first."

When Shen Qiong evacuated, the police had already arrived. As long as the Templars did not want to be completely exposed to public view, Mordred could only temporarily leave the scene of the murder, and could not search wantonly.After all, Bernard's death was inseparable from him, and the internal accountability of the Templars alone did not allow him enough time.

This undoubtedly gave Shen Qiong a chance.

She recalled carefully all the details of Bernard's behavior when she saw him.

Nervous and slightly protruding eyeballs, tense muscles, cuffed red robe... and a snuff bottle quietly held in the palm of his hand.

Shen Qiong asked suddenly: "Does Bernard have a hobby of sniffing snuff?"

Tony frowned: "I don't know, but he has always shown himself as an ascetic, so he should not be contaminated with these things."

Fragments of light appeared in Shen Qiong's emerald eyes, and she showed a smug and full of vitality smile again, and said meaningfully: "There is something, I think there may be clues to fragments."

After a pause, she added: "It's just that this thing is probably in the hands of the police now, can you get it out?"

"Steal it out without anyone noticing."

When Tony heard Shen Qiong's request, the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up: "I know someone." He meant something, "He should be able to meet your request."

"For him, this may not be a simple matter."

Shen Qiong followed Tony's guidance and waited at the third bench in Boston Central Park.

She looked at her watch, waiting for the appointed time to arrive.When it was only thirty seconds before the agreed time, she suddenly heard a voice from behind.

Shen Qiong turned around, and saw a brown-haired boy of sixteen or seventeen clutching the back of his head in embarrassment, with the other hand holding the skateboard he used to drive on the road, slapping her with hope. call.

"Hello, I'm Peter Parker, I heard from Mr. Stark that you have something to ask - hey, it's you!?"
