"This shows that she is not lying." Think about it, what is a person who would not die if he stabbed himself in the heart doing nothing?

Bruce also agreed, "She doesn't need to lie. But it's really hard for me to imagine that a person like her, who has no abnormalities in all physical signs, will be immortal. Like me, if you put me Checked in the detector, I have excess gamma rays on my body."

"Perhaps, we can put her in some kind of collider. Since she has even been to the center of a nuclear explosion, then," Tony frowned as he watched a video that should have been "top secret", "The collider It shouldn't kill her."

"I guess we shouldn't encourage her to kill herself." Bruce couldn't agree with that. "I thought you wanted me to find out why she was so special, not why she didn't die."

"Is there a difference?"

"I don't know if there's a difference, but it's impossible to find out in a day. And, while she may be 148 years old, she's still a child in mental age and appearance."

"Are you kidding me?" Tony said, "148 years old?"

"Look at my report, I've written it all in." Bruce nodded the handheld terminal in his hand. "When Natasha is not so busy, we can ask her to find a way to find the former Soviet Union materials. By the way, I asked Dr. Strange, and he said, we should observe her EEG and brain She has not done a systematic and comprehensive brain MRI.” The clinical application of MRI technology was in the 20s, and after the 80s, she no longer stayed in those national-level trials. In the institution.

"I remember she had an MRI of her own brain."

Asimov called up the MRI image from the file she had given her.

"Can you understand it?" Bruce Banner pointed out bluntly.

"I don't understand. Can you understand?" Tony squinted at him not to be outdone.

"Besides, the doctor who examined her can't see anything wrong if he doesn't know what to look for. I think we're going to make an appointment for her. It's best to call Stephen."

"O—Kay." Tony agreed, though reluctantly. "Asimov, have you contacted Professor Xavier?"

"No, Sir, Professor Xavier took the students from the school for gifted youths to the Arctic Circle for field teaching, and they didn't bring any communication tools."

"Without a mobile phone and a satellite phone, do you rely on Charles' brain to contact? These superhuman beings are always like this. When you need to find them, you can't always find them." Tony said angrily: " Come on, go find that strange guy."

The "strange guy" was out of New York, off to Kathmandu for "mysterious magical affairs."

It was almost impossible to make an appointment for an MRI machine in a large New York hospital that was overcrowded 24 hours a day. Asimov found an MRI machine at a research facility in Brooklyn and rented it for 6 hours.Dr. Strange was out, but recommended his former colleague Christine Palmer.Dr. Palmer is a surgeon and also has a background in neurosurgery.

Christine was a little puzzled by this part-time job, and suggested on the phone that they should go to a regular hospital for a comprehensive examination, but she still came because of the good pay.

"I can't see anything wrong..." Christine looked at the brain image on the computer screen, "The language area is relatively active, but not abnormally active, within the normal range. Others... are all normal, nothing unknown The shadow, no hemorrhage point, the brain, cerebellum, brainstem, and pons are all normal, it can be said to be a very normal brain. By the way, what exactly do you want to check?"

"I just want to know if there is anything abnormal about her brain activity." Bruce Banner sat beside her, also staring at the images.

"I really can't see anything 'abnormal'," Christine pondered for a moment, "but if you want to check her, she must be showing 'abnormal'."

Bruce evades, "Maybe we should look at her brain while she's asleep."

"Hey! Wait!" Christine suddenly asked, "Is she asleep?"

Bruce got up in a hurry and went into the MRI room—Alicia was actually asleep.

He shook his head helplessly and asked, "She fell asleep. Do you want to wake her up?"

"Wake her up." Christine raised her forehead.

Alicia backed out of the MRI machine, and Bruce touched her arm carefully, "Alicia, Alicia."

She opened her eyes, "Am I asleep?"

"Yes, you were asleep. Can you make sure you're awake when you go in? We need you to be awake."

"Okay, I don't know why I fall asleep easily when I go in, and I fell asleep last time too." She smiled a little shyly.

Christine's voice came through the loudspeaker, "Alicia, I'll show you some pictures in a minute, you don't need to tell me how you feel, just look at them, okay?"

"Ok."

The instrument turned and sent her in again.

Bruce returned to the monitoring room, "Give her a picture test of the five senses first."

This is a kind of image test used to check the mental state. The screen in the MRI machine will interleave various pictures: animals, landscapes, planets, universe, crimes, joys, celebrations, normal people face these different The pictures will produce corresponding emotions: peace, happiness, happiness, joy, nausea, hatred, etc., these emotions will be displayed on the brain image in real time; and the brain image of psychopaths is another matter .

The entire test took 2 hours, during which Alicia fell asleep again.

Then, after discussing with Christine, Bruce asked Alicia if she would like to do a physical test, yes, it's no problem.

The pain test was done again, and the results showed that she did not feel pain.

Bruce found a Chinese medicine acupuncturist, who pricked the sole of her foot like a hedgehog, but she didn't feel anything, and the brain images that should show pain didn't light up at all.

This time, Christine was very rare.

"I've actually heard of people who don't have pain neurons, it's a deletion at the end of some gene, and it's very, very rare. If she had a broken bone or other physical defect, she would not feel it at all, and neither would anyone else if it wasn't bleeding profusely. The reason why the number of people who don't feel pain alive is rare is also because most of them don't survive adult."

Bruce faltered, probably because her family took good care of her.

Well, this can also be explained, and it can be done with good protection.

"You have to find a psychiatrist, or a doctor in psychiatry, and let him interpret it. As for the brain organs, she is fine and normal. There are no shadows, no lesions, no bleeding points, and nothing abnormal. From the body Say she has no problem; there is a genetic problem, but it doesn't seem to affect her normal life so far." Christine Palmer thought about it, but didn't go any further.

Bruce Banner drives Alicia back to Stark Tower.

He noticed that she was very curious about the scenery outside the car window: most of the battlefields of Kirita's invasion were in Manhattan, and Brooklyn was minimally affected, only the unextinguished smoke of Manhattan could still be seen in the distance.

Kind of like 911 back then, but on a much wider scale.

"Did a lot of civilians die?" She asked suddenly.

"The exact number of casualties has not yet been counted, and the number of casualties should be in the tens of thousands."

She nodded, "Manhattan is too densely populated."

"Have you been to New York before?"

"I've been there. The first time I came to the United States was through New York."

"When was that? What year?"

"A certain year during the Cold War." She replied absent-mindedly: "Pepper said you tried to kill yourself, did you try any method?"

Bruce smiled. "Pepper even told you that?"

"She didn't say it was you, I guessed it."

"Oh? Why me and not anyone else?"

"intuition."

Bruce was speechless.

She was still thinking about his suicide method, "What have you tried?"

"Are you sure you want to know?" Some ways are not so "pretty".

"for example?"

"For example, jumping into the crater of an erupting volcano. For example, the center of a nuclear explosion, but unfortunately, this kind of opportunity is too difficult to find. Another example is eating enough tetrodotoxin in a lethal amount."

"Oh! I tried tetrodotoxin! But fugu is so delicious, I don't even remember how I got rid of the toxin. We should eat fugu again some other day." She was enthusiastic.

"Let me take you to dinner. You are too thin. Today, Dr. Palmer seems to want to ask me why you are so thin and still not malnourished." Bruce is a little strange: she has a " No matter who sees me, they will love me and take care of me" strange aura, he knows that she is not the thin girl on the surface, but he can't stop himself from showing affection to her.

Alicia didn't seem to have thought so much, and nodded happily, "Mr. Stark said he would take me to dinner tonight, but I think he might not come back so early."

Once the Chitauri invasion happened, Tony Stark, who was rich, famous, powerful, and powerful, became the focus of attention on Capitol Hill. Bruce Banner sympathized with this, but he never wanted to worry about it for him.

He understands the worries of those politicians: how can a figure with such fighting power, an American citizen, not be under the surveillance of the government at all times?

The author has something to say: *All kinds of nonsense about medical issues, don't take it seriously.
