[Zhongyingmei] The beating heart

Bruce sat up from the hospital bed, his head aching slightly, but he felt better.Don't know where the others have gone?He had been in a coma before, so dazed that he seemed to hear Bea, and Alex, and others...but he couldn't catch what they were saying.He has been in his own strange dream, and now after waking up, he has forgotten the dream.

"..."

"?"

At this moment, Bruce found a fiery stare beside him, and when he turned his head, Ahsoka was standing beside his bed.It's really Ahsoka... the real Ahsoka.It looks a little cuter than the one on TV... Wait, Bruce, what are you thinking?Luckily he didn't say it, Bruce calmed down and said, "Hi... are you looking after me?"

"Ah! No, not really..." Ahsoka looked at Bruce nervously, and said, "Well, it's Nova. I'm here to 'watch' you."

"Really. This is the Jedi Temple?" Wow, I was in the Jedi Temple... Bruce didn't know how much he missed, he said, "Where's the new star?"

"He just went out—"

"Dr. Banner, you are awake!!" Ahsoka said halfway, the automatic door opened, and Xinxing walked in with a plate of food and drinks, and he ran to Dr. Banner in surprise, "Great! I thought it would be a little longer, but Dr. Pym told me he'd sedated you a bit more to give you some rest."

"No wonder my head hurts..." That guy Hank... Bruce sighed slightly, and he said, "Where are the rest of them?"

"Everyone went to find Mr. Rogers. The Regenerated Master asked me to watch Dr. Banner here." Xin Xing explained, and he said, "Then, Dr. Banner won't run around, right? The Regenerated Master said that if If I don't take good care of Dr. Banner, she will 'teach' me..."

Bruce looked at Nova worried and thought he was kind of cute, so he smiled a little: "Don't worry, I don't think I'm going anywhere now. But what happened to Steve?"

"Well... he was trapped on a planet. But, it's okay, because there is a regenerated master." Xin Xing was full of confidence in his regenerated master, "ah, yes, Dr. Banner has seen Past Ahsoka? That very scary...dark Jedi told Ahsoka to keep an eye on us."

"Ah, we just said hello." Bruce smiled over at Ahsoka again, "However, we won't cause trouble. Generally speaking, it is troublesome to find us."

"Nova told me a little bit about you guys." Ahsoka had been curious about these guys, she said, "About the regenerators, and you saved the 'Galaxy'?"

"Which time did he say that?" Bruce laughed, "It's not as great as Nova said, Ahsoka, we're just protecting our own planet. In our world, there's a little blue broken planet, We call her 'Earth'. We are very 'backward' in development." Bruce explained, he said, "But those powerful races in the universe always like to hide their powerful 'treasures' on the earth, and then There will be some people who want to get those treasures and come to trouble the earth."

"In addition to this, the earth has its own troubles. I think that even if the people of Xinxing beat human beings to re-evolve, they have not taught human beings to learn what is humility and peace. War, crime... plus the powerful forces hidden behind things The earth is in a mess." Bruce smiled wryly when he said this, isn't he himself a victim?Yes, victims, not heroes.

Maybe someone changed themselves. At the moment when they were about to become the 'assailant', someone stood by their side, and they pulled themselves out of the abyss. From that moment on, they became a member of the hero.However, this doesn't end there.Bruce knew that the monster inside him was an unstable being, even more unstable than Alex.Bruce knows that he will usher in a more critical 'moment' in the future, maybe he will lose his mind, because of certain things, some people with ulterior motives, making him a 'threat', and at that time...

And at that time, would his companions still trust him?Will you still stand by his side?Maybe they did it the first time, what about the second time, the third time?Bruce is not forcing anything, it's just that he likes those people and he doesn't want them to be hurt because of his instability.He wants to protect them, not hurt them.The power he has is so powerful that it is like a curse, Bruce hopes that this power will be used for protection, not another curse.

"So, someone's going to fix this, right? These wars and crimes? They're not going to be ignored, are they?" Ahsoka's voice brings Bruce back to reality, and he smiles back, "Yeah. Someone's going to come forward And stand up against those things that endanger ordinary people. Whether it is natural disasters or man-made crimes, there will always be people who will stand up. They may not be heroes, and they may not have great power, but they will always appear. I think this is the only human being. advantages, and I hope that humans will not lose this."

"You're a good man, Dr. Banner." Ahsoka also smiled.

"Thank you Ahsoka. I feel better after you said that." Being affirmed by idols is a very important thing for any 'little boy'.Bruce thought he wasn't a boy anymore, but it looked like he was wrong.Just when the little boy Bruce wanted to further express his love for his idol——

"Dr. Banner!" Nova stood up suddenly, and the wise servant in his armor issued a warning to him, and the content of the warning was very strange. She said, 'An unknown pathogen is approaching'? ?Is it Alex?That's not right... When we met for the first time, the wise servant on the Nova Armor knew Alex.Does that mean another Alex? !Suddenly felt a little scary, and Xin Xing was a little flustered, but he still remembered what his regenerated master told him, and he had to take good care of Dr. Banner.

And here is Ahsoka, although Ahsoka seems to be one of the very powerful Jedi Knights, but she is a girl, how can he hide behind a girl?I can't lose all the face of the pioneers by myself.

"Nova?" Bruce felt a little strange because Nova had been building his mind for too long without explaining anything, so he called him, "What happened?"

"Ah! That... the wise servant in my armor said that there is an unknown pathogen approaching outside..."

"Unknown pathogen?" What is that?Bruce felt a little weird, but things didn't look good.He suddenly remembered what he had just said 'they never look for trouble, it's trouble that finds them', "Are we safe here?"

"Temporarily... but that thing is approaching." Xinxing replied, he said, "I don't know if this disease is contagious and how, but my armor can isolate all harmful substances, so please leave it to me Let's deal with it, Doctor."

"Xingxing, if that thing doesn't come in, we won't look for it for the time being." Bruce emphasized, "We must first understand the situation before we can act."

"Okay, okay..." Dr. Banner was right, he was too nervous.Nova agrees, and that's when Bruce turns to Ahsoka, saying, "Ahsoka, do you have a clue about this pathogen? There's something like this in the Jedi Temple?"

"No... I've never heard of it. Even the scientific research experiments of the Republic cannot be carried out in the temple." Ahsoka is also a little worried. After so long, she has not received new orders, not only that Not even the other Jedi Masters saw it.It's kind of weird to think about the situation, "We should tell this—"

Before Ahsoka finished speaking, the automatic door of the medical room was swung open, and the person Ahsoka wanted to tell appeared in front of them, and he was not in a good condition: "Master Windu?!" Soka wanted to run towards Master Windu, who was barely standing still, but was immediately stopped by Nova: "Wait a minute, Ahsoka, the pathogen..."

Master Windu is the pathogen that the wise servant said!Although Xinxing couldn't believe it, the facts were right in front of his eyes, and the state of Master Windu fully explained this problem. Xinxing stepped forward to support Master Windu: "Master, you are infected by an unknown virus. What happened?"

"Damn it..." Master Windu seemed to have known it a long time ago, he said, "Stay away from me, isolation chamber!" Master Windu pointed to the glass structure on the side of the medical room, Ahsoka immediately ran over and opened it It, so Xinxing helped Master Windu into the isolation warehouse.

After waiting for the isolation chamber to close, Master Windu seemed relieved. He said, "Ahsoka, the situation is urgent now. You need to hurry up and contact Master Obi-Wan and Skywalker who are supporting the outer ring."

Master Windu's complexion looked very bad, and the blood vessels under the skin were also bulging, showing a strange black-purple color. Although Ahsoka was a little scared, she knew what she should do.All the training she had done before was to deal with situations like this, and she couldn't panic: "I see Master Windu! But what happened?"

"It's Kamino..." Master Windu leaned against the glass wall of the isolation chamber and changed a slightly more comfortable posture, "I... received a request from Master Shakti stationed on Kamino, according to her It is said that a strange collective plague infection is breaking out on Kamino. Because I suspect it is a separatist conspiracy, I personally went to assist Master Shakti in the investigation..."

"The situation there is very bad. Many people are sick. Cro-clones, instructors, and doctors are distributed among various races, attacking indiscriminately." Master Windu coughed twice, and he took a breath , "Everyone is suffering from a serious disease that was once prevalent in the Milky Way. No one can explain what happened. I returned to the temple to hold a council to investigate this matter, but it seems..."

infected.Nova understood how plagues spread, planet after planet, at first with one person, then by a moment of inattention spread to another healthy planet, and then, the next.It will be almost impossible to stop the spread unless a cure is found: "Master Windu, please allow my sage to intervene in the network, so that maybe she can find some solutions."

"..." Master Windu glanced at Xinxing, this kid...although he is not familiar with him, but now he has nothing to choose, "Okay. I hope this works... Besides, Ahsoka. Because the front line is tense , now there are no other Jedi Masters in the Temple, you need to find Master Yoda and tell him about it. Then contact Obi-Wan and Skywalker. You are alone here. Understand?"

"Yes, I know Master Windu." Is it only you?Why is it that no one else is here at this time?Is this really a coincidence?Or... No matter what, I want to find Master Yoda. He is probably the only Jedi master in the temple now, and then Obi-Wan and his master...

"I hope there is still time." Master Windu was almost out of breath, he didn't know if he would survive, but at least before he died, he would make a final effort, "Go, Ahsoka, We are now ... going to do everything we can to gain the advantage that has been lost."

The author has something to say:

Oops, before I knew it, there were 399 chapters of ORZ... This article is so long...

But judging from this situation, there should not be another 500 chapters~~
