In addition to the transformation of space from possible infinity to finiteness, there is a slight sense of vibration.

Tony stood on the floor again, "What happened? There seems to be some light—" His palm dangled in front of his eyes, as if he had regained a little vision, but it was still extremely unclear, and he could only vaguely see the shadow of the palm.

"The light is getting brighter," Alicia said briefly.

"Is it moving?"

"It seems to be moving. The walls are white and opaque, so I can't see anything." She looked at the time on her phone. "It's almost out of battery. It's 11:56 p.m., almost midnight."

"Midnight, what's the matter?"

"Haven't you heard of it? Midnight is the node where time changes, and many weird things will happen at midnight."

Yes, like Midnight Werewolf or something.

Wait, no, there is no such creature.

He turned to her, "Alicia, are you afraid?" Human beings' fear of the unknown made them try to adopt cautious self-preservation measures. Only in this way can ancient humans survive the confrontation with the highly efficient predators in nature, without fear. People with fear are usually "abnormal".

"I'm not afraid. I'm afraid because I'm afraid I'll 'die'. I won't die, so I won't be afraid. Don't be afraid either." He reached out to hold his right hand, "I will protect you."

Tony was speechless: This should be said by a big man like him, he is older than her—ahh!Not as old as her, but she looks like a little girl, so he is still older—he has more life experience than her, and he may have much more fighting experience than her, and he may also have a better understanding of the dangers of human nature than her If it's more, he should take care of her and protect her.How did he, a genius, a billionaire, a playboy, get reduced to the point where he needed a girl to protect him?

There was a noticeable vibration under my feet, and the room stopped.

"Pay attention to observation."

"I will."

"Have you learned any fighting techniques?" This was not recorded in the documents she provided.

"No, no one wants to teach me fighting skills or killing skills. They didn't think about making me a humanoid weapon. They probably think I'm too difficult to control." She smiled slightly, thinking it was quite interesting. "But killing people doesn't really require skill, just being ruthless."

"You—have you ever killed someone?" He asked hesitantly.

"No, I don't need it. But maybe there is, I'm not sure." She shrugged indifferently, and led him to a corner, "Let's check if there is any secret door on the wall. You Go to the right, I go to the left."

Tony nodded in agreement.Alicia said before that this is a well-formed square room, so there are 4 walls, and the two will meet at the diagonal of this corner.

There is no problem with the walls, nothing, no hidden doors, no hidden buttons, smooth and dense, cold to the touch, like some kind of metal.

They come back together at the corner of the diagonal wall.

"Next, the floor should be checked."

Alicia looked down at the floor, "There are no gaps in the floor tiles, it's a whole piece."

Tony thought for a while, "There is no good way, let's check in a row or a row." They walked around the wall before, and there was no mechanism such as a flap.

This time they did not separate, they held hands and walked slowly.

It took another half an hour to step on the floor of the entire room, and the floor was fine.

"Then there's only the ceiling."

Tony looked up habitually—he still wasn't used to the fact that he was blind.

He was melancholy for a moment and asked her, "What did you do just now?"

"What are you asking?"

"Let me—let me float."

She didn't answer, but Tony immediately found his feet off the floor.

"Are you sure you're really not a mutant?"

"Not sure." She still held his hand and floated up together, "This principle is probably related to the earth's magnetic field, which means that we are still on the earth, or some planet with a magnetic field. I haven't been to an alien planet yet. have you been there?"

"—No. But I know that there are other habitable planets, such as Asgard."

"I want to go to an alien planet, how about you?"

"I don't know. If you go on a trip, I think it's okay, just treat it as a vacation, that's fine."

"With whom? Pepper?"

When it comes to Pepper, Tony is a little uncertain, "I think she might prefer to go to Tahiti or something, and she doesn't want to go to any alien planet." What if the alien planet's sky is colorful black or There are 3 moons, and Pepper is probably freaking out, she's not the type of woman who thinks traveling to an alien planet would be fun.

The top of his head hit the ceiling.

Almost immediately, the entire room is inverted, the ceiling becomes the floor, and the original floor flips over.

"Interesting." Alicia pulled Tony Stark to float, watching the room roll around like a block.

"what happened?"

"The whole room flipped, or both of us flipped."

"Did I hit some button? I just hit the ceiling, didn't I?"

"Yes." She reached out and pressed that piece of the ceiling again, or rather, a certain piece of the current floor.

The room didn't flip again.

"Do you think we can get to the ceiling now? That's the floor right now."

"Let me stand on that piece of ceiling, or floor, that I just touched."

Tony fell back to the floor.

Seconds later, the floor cracked and Tony was caught off guard and fell in.

"Alicia!" He realized she had let go of his hand, and shouted her name in a panic.

Alicia.

Two people in a strange space quickly developed a comradely friendship. This is called the "desperate situation effect". Convert to a temporary cooperative relationship in order to tide over the difficulties together.

The girl of unknown origin and identity shouldn't have anything to do with Tony Stark, but she came to her door and sincerely asked him to help her die. How could he not be curious?

Human beings have curiosity, which leads to the rapid development of modern technology and the endless exploration of the "unknown". Human beings want to go to the moon, to Mars, and to the boundless space.

"Who am I" is also an eternal philosophical proposition. Alicia, an unknown species, wants to figure out "what" she is.

Her DNA sequence is the same as that of ordinary humans, and there is no difference. Asimov has compared it after getting her genetic test report.If there is one thing about her that is different from ordinary people, it is that her genetic sequence is perfect, without any known genetic defects, and without any known disease-causing genes.

Adenine Adenine.Cytosine.Guanine Guanine.Thymine Thymine.

Permutation and combination of ACGT.

The geneticists brought by Pepper do not believe that this set of genetic sequences is the genetic sequence of modern living people, because the telomeres of the chromosomes are not worn or decayed, as if it is a set of artificial genes from advanced genetic engineering laboratories. Genomes, or simply a bunch of phony fakes.

So that's why she lived so long?

But telomeres can only "prolong life", but still cannot explain her "immortality", let alone her "immortality".

She is different from Steve Rogers who was injected with super soldier serum. Steve’s metabolism is 4 times faster than ordinary people, but he may not be able to live to 500 years old. It depends on his genes. Maybe there will be What disease-causing gene is activated, the super serum cannot repair the disease-causing gene dormant in his gene.

It is also different from Bruce Banner, the modern incarnation of Doctor. Because of Hulk, Bruce will have a long lifespan, but he will still age and face death one day.

death.

One day in the future, he will also face death.

Of course he thought about it, before the time of palladium poisoning, he had already written his will, divided his private property among several trusts and charities, left the company to Pepper, and Happy would get his collection of luxury cars, Malibu The villa was also left to Pepper, and Asimov.

Human beings are greedy by nature and want everything. As another major theme besides "revenge" in myths and legends, "immortality" has always been a dream that human beings have been striving for. In the United States and Canada alone, there are many A version of the "Fountain of Youth" legend.

According to legend, the Fountain of Youth is hidden in a mysterious mountain forest. Drinking a sip of the fountain of youth will give you longevity.

For this reason, human beings can sell their souls at any cost.

Was he tempted by Alicia's secret?Of course I am tempted!Rich people want to live forever, so they can do whatever they want!He wants to return to the physical condition of 2 or 30 years old, and wants to live a healthy life after 120 years old, not to grow old, and to be forever young.

"IamIronMan", those words made Agent Coulson jump.For him, being public meant he was a target.Human nature is changeable and uncertain. Today you are a highly anticipated superhero, but tomorrow you may be scolded as a "killing machine". What you get is not only flowers and applause, but also resentment and resentment.

He had always thought that he was rich and capable, and that he could help the victimized others as much as possible. This was his responsibility, but it didn't necessarily have to be his obligation.He has a belief, "I can do it," and it's his—Tony Stark's pride, not just Iron Man's.

Pepper has complained about his growing inability to separate "Tony Stark" from "Iron Man", saying that she understands that he wants to help others who are hurt, but she will be hurt too, and she will Worried and afraid, afraid that he will never come back.

He didn't quite understand what she was afraid of.

Alicia's hand took his right hand again, "I'm here."

The author has something to say: * Forget about the infinite gems and I won’t write about them.

*The Infinity Gauntlet is gone, of course.

*In Avengers 1, the American team asked Tony what he was without his battle suit. Tony said that he was still a genius, playboy, and billionaire Billionaire, but the subtitle of the version I watched was translated into "Millionaire".

*Alicia has no clear concept of money, and doesn't quite understand the difference between Billionaire and Millionaire.

*In the comics, Pepper's official partner is Happy, who got married, divorced and remarried.The movie version has changed a lot.

* "How chromosomes are protected by telomeres and telomerase" won the 2009 Nobel Prize in Medicine.

* Genes, telomeres, and telomeres are written blindly. The author himself is not a genetic expert or a genetic expert.
