Chapter 179
Rao's return was like a switch that symbolized the normality of life being flipped. After one night, things all returned to normal.
Familiar morning greetings, familiar breakfast with rich colors, familiar sound of typing keyboard and familiar heartbeat.
Rao likes to sit in the living room and work. When Karl lands on the balcony when he returns home, Rao will raise his head and look over when he hears the sound, habitually checking to see if Karl is back, and then lowers his head to be himself things.
It would have been better if Lo wasn't wandering around the room.
That's right, even though he verbally rejected Luo, in the end Karl took Luo home.
Anyway, even if he doesn't do this, Luo will come to the door by himself, and she will be more polite and docile when he takes her home. If he really leaves her alone, Karl can't imagine what unexpected actions Luo will make.
On the first day she came here, she chose a room on the west side as her bedroom, and forbade anyone, including Karl, from entering. Protective measures", and during this period, Luo stayed at home, but would go out from time to time to supervise the follow-up work of the film.
Her outburst of enthusiasm at the film was something Karl hadn't expected, but Lo was even more surprised than he was.
"He didn't tell you?" she asked, tilting her head slightly. "A large part of my strength comes from the fact that people know that I exist. If you find it difficult to understand, I can invoke the 'God needs believers'" The concept is explained, but my source of power is much looser than 'belief', as long as there is a living body 'aware' of my existence, I can get power from it."
"Your name..." Carl murmured, "What the hell is your name?"
"The name doesn't matter, little boy," said Lo. "It matters how you get it and who calls it."
She raised her hand and patted Carl's forehead lightly, and Carl was not too surprised to find that there was no way for him to dodge, even though he did back away.
Compared with when we first met, Luo's power has increased again. If she was one of the most powerful magicians on earth before, Carl felt that he had sufficient evidence to suspect that she was now the most powerful magician on earth. division.
This powerful power is extremely dangerous because of her ambiguous attitude.
But Carl is good at dealing with danger.
Which of his friends wasn't dangerous enough?
"I hope you're having fun here, Lo," he said, "with as little trouble as possible, if you can?"
"Relax, little boy." Luo stretched his waist and swayed away from Carl, "I am not the kind of barbarian you have seen in the universe who only knows how to conquer. What is the earth worth?" What's the value of conquest? I'm just wasting time here... Anyway, I have plenty of time."
"Alexander asked me to say hello to you for him." Carl said, "He said he bought a residence by the beautiful seaside, and hoped that you could be a guest when you are free."
"I have my back to you so you can't see, so I'll tell you straight up, honey," Lo said. "I just rolled your eyes at you so big."
"How about the movie?"
"It's not bad. The sample is at Rao's place. I want to see it and ask him for it."
Luo's back disappeared around the corner, Carl leaned against the wall, took out his phone and sent Tony a text message.
"Jarvis recently praised you to me."
Tony snapped back.
"How exactly?"
"You've been so good lately, like an adult. You eat three regular meals a day, go to bed early and get up early, reduce your alcohol and beer intake, and drink vegetable juice to keep healthy. You didn't suddenly get any terminal illness before I knew it. Right, Nini?"
"You [beep——]."
"I have a language purification system in my phone, I can't see what you are posting. [Screenshot]"
"Okay, little prince, I'm beginning to sympathize with you. Your life is not free. Alexander controls you too strictly, right? You don't even intend to have the courage to resist him?"
"In fact, I wrote this language purification system myself. I have a friend whose style is different from normal people, more like a lunatic, a nymphomaniac, and a psychopath. He will send me text messages when he is bored."
And it’s the kind of texting that reads out the content of the text message emotionally while typing. If Carl doesn’t reply, he can repeat what he wants to say hundreds of times.
Tony sent a long series of exclamation points, and then said in large and bold fonts: "Who is it?"
"Deadpool."
Deadpool, who is still wandering around in the universe, has not settled on the earth for several months. Howard originally planned to hire Deadpool to help them fight Hydra, but unfortunately Deadpool only did a little work and lost Interested in Hydra, he carried his two samurai swords and killed him in the starship of a subordinate of Thanos.
"Is he also your friend? Oh my god, little prince, you met some people while I was busy. Compared with him, I think the kid from the Wayne family is not so unacceptable."
Tony had obviously heard of Deadpool.
That's right, that guy is a well-known mercenary. Although his personal image and work style are very daunting for normal people, his perfect mission record and good work attitude have accumulated a lot of reputation for him.
"Let's stop talking about him, Nini, and tell me about you. Your recent behavior has been extremely abnormal."
Jarvis unhurriedly read out the latest message from Carl.
On the top floor of the Stark Tower, Howard's offices and laboratories have changed drastically.
Now that the old man is not dead, those furnishings and devices that were preserved for commemoration were quickly completely dismantled by Tony. He carried out a major renovation of the office according to his own ideas and habits. The first thing to do was to remove all the walls. The surfaces were replaced with glass.
Unlike Lex who opened up the entire top floor and presented it with a kind of empty frankness, Tony's office and laboratory separated by glass are full of messy things.
Parts, equipment, pipes, discarded design papers, new weapons with great lethality, beer cans that have just been emptied, empty pizza boxes and donut boxes, all objects are displayed frankly and arrogantly in the eyes of visitors .
Using glass as the exterior wall and using the top floor of the company as their own independent office, these behaviors undoubtedly reflect their personality tendencies.
Powerful.Show off.Control freak.
But the difference between them is also obvious. Lex, who is empty and empty in the office, refuses to reveal his inner world even if he shows off, while Tony makes no secret of his bad temper, capriciousness and love interest. , nor bother to pretend.
Carl's text message made Tony, who was fiddling with a small projection device in his hand, frown dissatisfied.
"What the hell is he thinking? I used to drink too much, stay up late and eat irregularly. He kept telling me to drink less, go to bed early and eat more fruits and vegetables. Now that I have done it, I still drink vegetable juice that tastes terrible. He actually asked me again. Why am I so obedient?"
"I think Karl's concern comes only from what he knows of you, sir."
"What do you mean Jarvis?" Tony's eyes widened. "Didn't I say not to update the language template casually? Where did you learn this tune?"
"Mr. Alexander taught me, and Mr. Luthor occasionally assists me with component upgrades."
Tony felt instantly abandoned by the smart butler: "..."
"Jarvis! Report to me before communicating with them in the future!"
"I sent you an email for your opinion, sir."
"...If I recall correctly, Jarvis, you handle all my mail."
"Yes, sir, and I gave my consent on my email. It's my right, sir."
"OK, you don't need to explain, I know this passage must have been taught to you by Karl." Tony said, "Free will, personal power, blah blah blah, that's what he values."
That being said, Tony didn't look particularly angry.
He continued to leisurely adjust the gadget in his hand, and when he was done, he assembled the parts that couldn't be seen to form anything, and a glove-like thing gradually took shape in front of him.
Tony put his hand into the steel "glove", turned his wrist and moved his fingers a few times. The seemingly clumsy and rough steel glove kept bending and stretching, showing a lightness and flexibility that did not conform to the appearance at all. Tony Raising the corners of his lips, feeling satisfied, he took the "glove" off his hand and put it aside.
Then he replied to Karl absent-mindedly.
"You think too much, little prince. If you have time to chat with me, you might as well comfort Luther who just went through an assassination."
"I've been there."
"Then you still have time to text me? Doesn't Luthor always take you seriously?"
"I'm not with him now, he's gone to a meeting in the British Empire."
"My boyfriend is very bored after going abroad, so you call and harass your very busy friend?"
"Nini! How can you say that! But... that's about it."
When Tony was working, he would devote himself wholeheartedly to it. During this period of time, no one could contact him even if the world fell apart, except for two people.
One is Howard, the tyrant Tony has made up his mind to spend his whole life resisting, who can always bypass the firewall and appear under his nose no matter how many means he can't stop him. The other is Carl, his best, every day All worried about his friend who died suddenly in the lab.
A policy of disregard for the former Tony, the latter?If the work is not particularly urgent, Tony doesn't mind taking a moment to report that he is safe.
But they rarely chatted.
Carl usually quiets down when he gets a reply.
So almost as soon as this anomaly appeared, Tony knew what was wrong with Carl.
Please, don't take too much guesswork at this point, Karl is not a person who is good at disguising at all.
and Lex.That Luther guy was different.
