Daily life [Zhongyingmei]

under night.

Benny held a bottle of yogurt obediently, puffed up his cheeks and drank through a straw, and walked slowly towards home.Steve followed him, carrying a pocket in one hand and a bottle of yogurt with a straw in the other—this was Benny's strong request, and Steve reluctantly complied.

If the vast number of fans of Captain America see him drinking like a good baby, they will definitely feel a strong contrast.

One big and one small turned the corner of the street, and the noise of cars and pedestrians on the road behind had not disappeared, but the colorful lights of the city were swallowed up by the silence and darkness in front of us.The alley that they must pass through to go home has always been the setting of this kind of "good place for crime".

Therefore, every time they go to this area, the number of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who protect or monitor will multiply. They are not worried about accidents with Captain America or the monster kid, but they are more troubled by how to drag away the criminals who accidentally bump into them and are dealt with.

"Huh?" Benny stopped sharply after turning the corner.Steve agreed with him tacitly, and both of them subconsciously became alert.

——Because there was not a single S.H.I.E.L.D. agent in the alley tonight. Normally, their surveillance could not escape Benny's magic detection.This situation is too abnormal.

But the next moment, Steve recognized the person coming.The bald woman walking out of the shadows was the ancient one they had seen last time.

"Why didn't I know you have such a big face in S.H.I.E.L.D.? Ancient One Mage." Benny also heaved a sigh of relief, raising his eyebrows and asked, "Where are the others?"

"It's just some small means of shielding." The bald woman seemed to have that indifferent smile on her face all the time. She looked around and explained briefly, "I temporarily pulled you into another space for the convenience of talking. Among those people In my eyes, you are walking along the road."

The bald mage approached Benny, she made a gesture, and the golden pendant on her chest opened again, revealing the glowing green gemstone.Gu Yi took off the gem like last time and handed it to Benny, the meaning is self-evident.

"..." Benny stared at the gem carefully, but didn't take it immediately.He didn't know anything when they met for the first time, but this time he already had a rough judgment and guess about his origin.

Holding this gem, he is likely to be relieved of his fatigue, and his magic power and spirit will be replenished.But Benny didn't want to be obedient this time.He doesn't believe that someone will always give him benefits unconditionally, unless that person is a big fool like Captain America.

"I probably understand, but why are you doing this?" Benny asked sullenly.

"This is a little help." The Ancient One's words meant something, her white and powerful hand was still spread out in front of Benny, and the gems shone charmingly on it, "Within my limited ability, we can all I hope you can return to the place where you should go as soon as possible. You are here, and the burden of 'coordinates' is also very heavy."

"Where is Benny supposed to go?" Steve cared about the sentence, frowning in displeasure because it sounded ominous.

Master Gu Yi still smiled and said nothing, his calm demeanor was irritating.

Benny nodded knowingly, stopped asking, and reached out to grab the green gem.The comfortable warm water-like feeling immediately flowed all over his body, soothing all his fatigue.

The bald mage completed the task, drew a golden portal on the spot, and was about to leave again.

"That's right." Gu Yi paused before leaving, as if hesitating to say it, but she still turned her head and stared at Benny, "You should pay attention to your surroundings recently."

"around?"

"I shouldn't have reminded you, but you are different, you have caused more and more variables." Master Gu Yi shook his head, "I'm not sure if this is good or bad."

The golden portal disappeared with the mage.In Benny's perception, the densely packed S.H.I.E.L.D. agents around the alley also appeared.The boy frowned seriously and inexplicably, biting the straw and lost in thought: "Hmm..."

"What did you think of, Benny?" Steve asked softly.

Based on his tacit understanding with the boy during this time, he can vaguely see that Benny is troubled by something, as if he has some clue about what the mage said.

"It's Stark." Benny also replied in a low voice, and he and Steve continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened.At this distance, Benny was sure the agents couldn't hear their conversations.

"I accidentally overheard his conversation with the butler in the escape room game. He was poisoned."

If you want to talk about the important things that have happened around recently, it will have something to do with Benny. Benny's first reaction is to think of Stark. He raised his head and asked the blond man worriedly: "...'blood toxicity' and 'palladium element' What are boards' and 'stinky juice'?"

With the reminder from the Ancient One, Benny began to worry about whether Stark would be able to solve the poisoning smoothly.What if the future changes?

"..." Steve, who used to be an art student, choked on words.

Well, he knew that after raising Benny, sooner or later this kind of conversation would happen.

"It seems that something happened to Mr. Stark." Steve was able to answer almost nothing, but this did not prevent him from saying gently, "—let's go home and check the information together."

……

When the two arrived home again, it was almost eight o'clock.

Benny said that he had already eaten, but his stomach was still growling.Steve also didn't eat tonight, so he could only turn on the small tablet first, go to the kitchen to get out the ingredients he bought, and prepare to make two servings of pasta.

The oil in the pot has heated up, and ingredients can be put in. Steve methodically threw seven or eight plump prawns into the pot as a side dish—in the sound of sizzling oil, the tempting aroma immediately rise up.However, Steve didn't care about carrying the shovel, leaned his upper body out of the kitchen, and asked concerned: "How is it?"

The curly-haired little boy was already lying at the dining table, his little face was gloomy by the light on the tablet computer, and he concentrated on searching keywords for a long time.Hearing the movement, Benny turned his head and held up the tablet to show Steve, and began to complain dissatisfied: "'Blood toxicity' is the toxicity accumulated in the blood due to heavy metal particles, chemical residues, etc. 'Palladium element plate' should be Si Tucker made something with the metal element 'palladium'. The 'stinky juice' couldn't be found out, and combined with Stark's words, it was probably detoxified."

Benny hugged his head suddenly, because of lack of knowledge, he was thinking about it and couldn't understand: "'Palladium' is an alloy material and a catalyst, generally used in industry. 'Blood toxicity' comes from the accumulation of heavy metals in the blood Particles. It makes sense to say that Stark has too much blood toxicity because of the palladium catalyst. But—"

"He is the chairman of the company, a billionaire! He doesn't need to do the work himself, how could he be so poisoned??"

Steve recalled his old friend Howard back then, thoughtfully, and said casually: "Because he was always researching some inventions, and Howard was the same way back then."

Stark and his son are not people who are content to enjoy the status quo after gaining wealth. They are happy to create new inventions. Compared with beautiful women, those cold parts are like their lovers.Thinking about it this way, it is not incomprehensible that Tony Stark, a man who is more enthusiastic about inventing than his father, was poisoned because of this.

"Benny, is there an antidote on the Internet?" Steve turned around and flipped the prawns in the oil pan a few times before continuing to ask.

"...No." Benny said dryly.

Unwillingly, he searched repeatedly and read a lot of relevant knowledge.There have been no serious cases of palladium poisoning so far, so there is no antidote.Palladium has little toxicity because it can be absorbed and eliminated by oral intake.unless given intravenously.But this can't reach the level of Tony Stark's 20% blood toxicity?Is he injecting palladium poison all the year round?

That's not poisoning, it's suicide!

So would Tony Stark kill himself?

"..." Benny was silent for a moment, without even thinking about it.

joke?The kind of arrogant and annoying guy who wants to commit suicide?

The blond man came over and saw the content displayed on the tablet at a glance. He also fell into a strange thought: "...It seems that the cause of the poisoning is also very strange. I'm afraid we have to investigate slowly."

"Benny." Steve thought of something, and called out to the little boy in a calm tone, "I remember it was said on TV recently that the Stark Industries Expo is being held, and the address is in Flushing Park. On the closing day, he Will be there again, are you interested in going to see it?"

In Steve's view, although little Benny is unwilling to accept Stark, he still cares about his biological father.I was very anxious when I heard that Tony was poisoned.Then Steve just had the right reason to give him, so that they can investigate the poisoning logically.

"Hmm." Benny hummed a syllable vaguely from his nasal cavity, and he reluctantly agreed.

……

But the two of them hadn't waited until the day when the library was closed. A week later, new news was reported on TV.Tony Stark tries to experience the extreme sport of paragliding.

"..." Benny and Steve sat in front of the TV together, watching with wide-open eyes.In the picture, the fat bodyguard Harpy led four or five black suits to fight fiercely with Stark. Assistant Pepper kept persuading him. The chairman of the board persuaded him to come down from the cliff.

—in fact he was carried away, directed by an angry Pepper Potts.The head of the bodyguard, Ha Pi, was flushed with exhaustion.

"..." Benny fell into a moment of silence, and it took him a long time to regain his voice. He was startled in disbelief, "Is Stark crazy? Is he really planning to commit suicide?"

Steve kept silent beside him rationally.

For some reason, he felt like something Tony Stark could do...

What was even more unbelievable was that a few hours later, Steve received a text message that the owner of Stark Tower wanted to invite them to come and have a chat tomorrow.

Stark?chat?Even if you want to come to them, is this an excuse?

Benny was starting to feel a pain in the head.

He seriously thought about Tony Stark in the escape room. It was very normal, and he was still as annoying and narcissistic as before. Benny didn't find anything unusual, except for the poisoning incident.How did Stark go crazy after he came out?

What the hell is he thinking?

"Accept his invitation, let's go see if Stark has dementia." Benny finally came back to his senses and said inexplicably.

The author has something to say: Tony (desperate): It’s over, I can’t find a way out, am I really going to die?Find the cub.

Benny: Was Stark trying to kill himself? ?
