Empty, seemingly without boundaries.

Hazy white shimmer, without a specific light source, spread evenly from all directions.

There is no wind, and the temperature is about 20 degrees Celsius, neither hot nor cold, very comfortable.

There is no smell and no fragrance in the air.

The whole space is like an acrylic box just out of the factory, but the size of the box is so huge that the border cannot be seen.

"What does that mean?" Alicia asked.

"It's just a metaphor, you know."

"Meaning, this place is man-made?"

"Probably yes, because there is no such place in nature. You are in a real cave, you will feel the humidity in the cave, there will be condensation on the rocks, and most of the ground caves will have natural wind flow. It is the real world, with wind, frost, rain and snow, thunder and lightning, wind, and aurora."

"But the meaning of "man-made object" can also be, 'man-made'."

"You mean, mutants?" Tony quickly followed her train of thought.

"Do you know of any mutants with similar abilities?"

Tony carefully recalled the information he had collected and the information on some mutants provided by Professor Xavier. He didn't expect anyone to have similar abilities.

"I didn't expect any mutant to have such powerful abilities. Do you know how difficult it is to create something out of thin air?"

"I know that some mutants are very powerful, such as Eric Lanshere, Bobby Drake, and Jean Gray. They are all Omega-level, or infinitely close to Omega-level."

"You should be very interested in Qin." Qin is still a young girl with unlimited potential.

"She's different from me. Mutants' abilities can usually be used on others. My ability can basically only conjure magic. My blood can't make people live longer or die. If there are any advantages, Probably I am an unlimited organ provider, my internal organs will not be rejected by anyone, if you need it in the future, I can also donate some organs to you, such as kidneys."

Tony hurriedly pretended to cough: Although Alicia looks like a girl, she is actually 137 years old, and she understands everything an adult should understand.Many times he would forget her age, probably because her experience did not match her age, and for unknown reasons, he would involuntarily want to take care of her instead of just treating her as a research object.

"Are you uncomfortable? You should be very thirsty, I think you can drink some of my blood." She said calmly.

Tony was taken aback, "No, I should...can hold on for a while."

She stopped, "You can rest for a while." Helping him sit on the floor.

The floor is also strange, not like wood, not stone, the texture is like carpet, but there are no visible fabric fibers.

"Have you seen anything resembling a wall?"

"No." She also sat down, and took out her cell phone and earbuds from her jeans pocket, a box of mints, a few quarters, and an ancient silver coin, all of which were placed on the floor in front of her.

"What is it? A coin?" As a result of the obstruction of vision, the sense of hearing has become sharper, which is a kind of compensation made by the human body for the missing function.He himself was wearing a hospital gown, with no pockets for odds and ends, and no mobile phone.

"You're badly hurt. You'd better lie down and rest." With a flick of her finger, the quarters floated off the floor and flew off in different directions.

"What are you doing?" He heard a small sound, but couldn't understand what it was.

"Lie down." She reached out and pressed his shoulder.

Tony found that she was really strong, and she pinned him to the floor without any effort.

"Lie down" is a private posture. Usually, unless you are too sick to sit up, most people will not lie down casually in front of people who are not close enough, or in a state that is not relaxed enough. "Lying down" is also an undefended posture, which means that you trust the other party enough.

—Do I trust her?This elderly girl of unknown origin.

I can't say that I have any trust. After all, I have known her for less than 3 weeks, but I am inexplicably defenseless against her.

He was very relaxed, trying to make himself as comfortable as possible.

Then, something dripped on his lips.

"Hey!" He immediately realized what it was and tried to sit up in panic.But when he opened his mouth, more liquid entered his mouth.

"Don't move." Alicia said softly, "This little blood is nothing to me, unless you think drinking my blood will turn you into a vampire."

Hi!Vampire or something, he really hadn't thought about it that way.He just thought that drinking blood to quench his thirst is not a "normal" thing, and it must be the first time for him.On the battlefield, or under extreme circumstances, there are many precedents of drinking horse blood or camel blood. Animal blood is fine, you can drink it without psychological burden, but human blood?

It really challenges the bottom line of his human nature.

But the reason why human beings are unwilling to drink the blood of the same kind is probably because of the legend of vampires. A very special human being again—he wasn't even sure she was really "human," so maybe this could be ignored for now?

Her blood is not even like ordinary human blood, it doesn't have that rusty smell, and the taste is actually-slightly sweet, completely different from the blood that occasionally cuts a finger. If he didn't know that it was her blood, Maybe you will think it is a new taste of light juice drink.

People who are thirsty will drink as much water as possible. This is the instinct of the body. When he reacts, he grabs her wrist and sticks his lips to her wound. He has already drank a lot of blood.

He froze for a moment, and quickly let go of her wrist. "sorry."

"Don't be sorry." She withdrew her hand and wiped the blood on the hem of his hospital gown. The wound had quickly closed. "I bled a lot more than that that day."

"That's not what I meant." He unconsciously licked his lips: the broken left arm and ribs didn't seem to hurt so much anymore, maybe her blood can relieve the pain?

Since he was a child, he knew that he was different from other children. His father was a brilliant scientist who did scientific research for the government and also started his own weapon company and technology company. Talented in engineering, he entered MIT at the age of 14 and graduated at the age of 17. There is nothing he wants to do that cannot be done successfully, and there is no one that cannot be obtained. Money and a high IQ make him almost invincible, so , He has always felt that there is nothing he cannot do.

Just like pushing a nuclear bomb out of a wormhole and rushing out of outer space a while ago, he also felt that "I can do it", and he really did it, so he felt that he was omnipotent in a practical sense.

In the end, he had to rely on the blood of a little girl to continue his life, which was really unacceptable to him.

—It’s not time to die yet!

He was still struggling, so he heard Alicia say: "This person is really calm, I have bled so much, and he or she hasn't shown up yet."

Tony Stark also thought it was a little too unusual.

If the villain should also come on stage at this time, explain his or her evil plan.

Supporting his body with his right arm, he sat up again, "This is really strange, you know, there are agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. everywhere in the hospital, and there may be agents from other departments. Who can do this without anyone knowing?" These?"

Alicia had told him before that it was brought down with the floor, and it was agreed that someone used some plastic explosive to blow up a hole the size of a hospital bed in the ceiling downstairs, and then they just fell, obviously It didn't fall in the downstairs room, but in some strange dimension.

"It can still be done, for example, if it is disguised as a cleaner, it is impossible for the agents to really watch what everyone is doing."

"That's true." But the focus is still not on "how to do it", but on "what the hell is this place".

"There are several possibilities. One, this is a higher dimension above the three-dimensional space. We are still in the hospital, but because of the different dimensions, people in the three-dimensional space cannot see us."

This theory involves multi-dimensional space, theoretical physics, etc., and is a pure theory that has not been verified and proven.

Tony nodded.

"Another possibility is that some mutant made us jump into a cage he made for us, or for me. Another possibility is some kind of tool. Have you heard of 'teleportation devices'? "

"Mutant superpowers will be discussed later. Teleportation? You know this is only a theory, right? Electromagnetic waves also take time to travel from place to place, and an entity with mass cannot 'teleport' Yes, humans who can teleport, I've heard that there is a certain mutant, but that's just moving at an uncommonly fast speed, still not 'teleporting'. This involves atomic and molecular physics Believe me, if any company or scientific research institution has developed a teleportation device, I will definitely know."

"No, you don't. I've heard of such a device, but it's a kind of—how should I say it? It's a supernatural object, not strictly a physical 'teleportation', but the effect is the same , both living and non-living bodies can be teleported from one place to another place, and the time spent in the process is negligible.”

"Is it faster than the speed of light?" Electromagnetic wave is a kind of light wave, and the speed of electromagnetic wave is also the speed of light wave.

"more or less."

"Wow—oh!" Tony was really curious, "What's that?"

"Two sets of very inconspicuous small cylinders, a group of three, about two inches high, black, with no pattern on the surface, of unknown material and unknown age."

The author has something to say: *Bobby the Iceman.

*An unnamed Quicksilver that appears in Tony's dictation.
