37. The great harmony of life
CHAPTER XXXVII
*
The night sky is pitch black, with planets full of strange stones and cold moonlight covering the surface. Isbelli stood in the deserted wilderness, the cold burrowing into her body like a snake from the soles of her feet, causing her to shiver.
"Father is about to lose patience, when will you fool get the Cosmic Cube and want to kill me!"
"If you can't get back the Universe Rubik's Cube, my father will not only execute us, but also go to the earth in person, and then none of the people you like will want to live!"
"Think of a way to let Tony Stark undo the metal ring and use the power of the Cosmic Gem to get the Rubik's Cube back, otherwise I will kill Steve Rogers next time I take control of your body!" Do you hear me, you stupid thing with the same skin as I do! ”
No!
"Don't !!"
Isbelle woke up screaming from her dream, sweat drenching her hair, and she sat on the bed, her hair disheveled, her body shaking like a sieve, the fear and cold of the dream still lingering in her body.
"Miss Lily, you're having nightmares, are you okay, do you need me to come up?"
In the silence of the room, Jarvis's gentle voice rang out.
She gasped for breath, tugging at the sheets in her hands, and shook her head in refusal after a long time. She didn't have nightmares, it was Shi Yue who pulled her back and threatened her.
"I really don't need to, I can also play you sleep music."
"Jarvis, haven't you slept yet?"
Maybe it would be better to talk, she thought.
"I'm an AI program with the ability to think independently, and I don't need to sleep." Jarvis looked at the girl under the camera, she raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, her face was pale, obviously the dream just now made her very uncomfortable. "Did you dream of something you didn't like? There's water on the table, and maybe you need a little to drink. ”
Isbelli smiled weakly, "Thanks, Jarvis, I'm fine, you don't have to worry too much." I—I probably haven't gotten used to this bed yet, so I can't sleep well. ”
"Is the bed too soft?"
"It's okay, Jarvis I'm really okay, good night, I'll go back to sleep."
Afraid of causing trouble to Jarvis, Isbelli lay down and continued to sleep, but in fact, she didn't feel sleepy at all, turned over in the direction where the camera couldn't see her face, and opened her eyes in contemplation.
……
Sleepless all night, the next day, Isbelle went out with a haggard face and went for her daily morning run.
As soon as I went out, I met the little brother who opened a pet shop opposite walking the dog, and after seeing her, he greeted her very warmly and walked with her.
Fox is indeed a quiet town, and as soon as time arrives, it seems to slow down several times, the clouds are always piling up over the town, and the sun often only has a chance to show its face for a few minutes. The pace of life here is slow, and since the population is small, most of them know each other, and the neighborhood is harmonious, and you can often meet acquaintances on the road.
Harpy's distant relative is the police here, a middle-aged man named Charlie Swan, who is said to be married and divorced, and has a daughter who lives with his wife and occasionally comes over.
The day after Isbelle arrived at Fox, Charlie came to visit with some necessities and small gifts. He was a man of few words, and he left after a few casual words with her, presumably to ask him for help if she needed anything.
Frankly, Isbelle didn't need much help, and Tony Stark gave her a lot of money to solve all the problems she might have.
She held back in the house for several days, and did not go out for a walk until the rain stopped, and met many people along the way, and everyone greeted her very kindly, which made her depressed mood much better.
It's not okay to be stuffy in the house all day, and as soon as she calms down, she can't help but think that Shi Yue killed so many people, or use her body and hands, which makes her unacceptable, and the guilt destroys her, making her unable to sleep and eat and suffer.
Jarvis was also distressed and embarrassed, because Isbelli often did not eat or rest, sat by the window for a day, and sometimes wept inexplicably, but he could not find a way to solve the problem.
In short, Fox's life is not as simple and beautiful as Tony Stark thinks, on the contrary, it has fallen into a not very good situation. Jarvis was worried about Isbelli, and given her self-harm, he had to keep an eye on her so that she wouldn't do anything extreme.
By the way, there is another thing that bothers Jarvis as well, and that is the young man who lives across the street from the house who owns a pet shop, and since Isbelle met him, he always finds all kinds of excuses and reasons to come to the door or ask her out for a walk.
After the man asked Isbelle out frequently and began to manipulate her in the process, Jarvis felt the need to talk to her, so he sat down in front of her after lunchtime.
"Miss Lily, in order not to reveal your identity, you should not have too much contact with Mr. Benny, who lives across from you, it is not safe for you."
"He's the tour guide, he's just getting me acquainted with Fox, it's going to be fine, Jarvis."
Isbelle leaned back on the couch and held a book in her hand called "The Joys and Sorrows of Mankind."
"I think he's been too enthusiastic about you, don't you notice it, it's not a good thing, Mr. Stark will be upset to find out."
"Jarvis thinks too much, I just want to learn a little more about how to interact with people, after all, I am too ignorant of the world."
This is also the reason why she reads books, she wants to know more about the emotions of human beings on Earth, so that she can communicate with other people in the future, at least when she apologizes to Steve, she can find suitable lines. Unfortunately, she was too naïve after all, and she didn't realize that the pet store man had other thoughts about her, and he wasn't just chatting with her.
"Yes, you don't know much about the world."
Jarvis could tell at a glance that the man who owned the pet shop looked at Isbelli almost exactly the same way as his Mr. Stark had made a mistake. He wanted to have Miss Lily, and this desire grew stronger with more contact, and he had seen him pretend to touch Miss Lily's boobs yesterday.
"I think I might need to give you some science about the relationship between men and women."
"You mean the act of great harmony in life?"
“Excuseme?”
"Time and Moon." Isbelli showed two big eyes from the book and looked at Jarvis with a wink, "Shiyue likes to sleep with all kinds of strong people of the opposite sex, she can sense what is happening to me, and I can also sense what she has done. The great harmony of life is a strange thing for me, I don't think there is anything interesting about that kind of thing, but Shiyue likes it. ”
“……”
Jarvis didn't feel great, and for the first time as an AI program, he couldn't find the words to reply to her.
"I may need to contact Mr. Stark......"
After a long pause, he stiffened his hand.
Isbelli still blinked her sparkling eyes and looked at him innocently, "Aren't you worried about S.H.I.E.L.D.?" ”
"Sir doesn't want to see you hurt in other bad ways than S.H.I.E.L.D." Jarvis analyzed it in the system and thought that the man might attack Isbelle in the near future, after all, she had a face that made people want to commit crimes.
"Jarvis, you're so nervous." Isbelli chuckled disapprerovingly, she put down the book, played with a handful of her hair, and tilted her head to look at him, "It's fun to do that kind of thing, I don't understand why, maybe I can try it, it seems that all creatures in the universe will have that experience and feeling, I need to learn." ”
"I'm sorry, I don't think you need to learn such a thing as the great harmony of life, that's ...... That's ......"
It was terrible that Jarvis couldn't find the words to explain it, and she said it with pure curiosity. Mr. Corson was right, Miss Lily was still a child, she didn't understand anything, and it was Shiyue who was evil.
“…… So, let me make a bold guess based on the existing number jù, is Shiyue your twin sister? According to online information, twins can sense each other. ”
Every time she had a conversation, she would unconsciously reveal some important information, and Jarvis recorded them all, and after sorting out and analyzing them at the moment, he came up with the above guess.
"Jarvis, how would you know???"
Isbelli looked surprised by the hell, very good, the speculation is right, Shiyue and her are twin sisters.
"When you lose consciousness, the moon will control your body through this relationship, right?" Jarvis continued to think about it, "If that's the case, then you are indeed a great danger to Earth, and Shiyue is a character who is not kind, and every time he appears, he will cause casualties to innocent humans. ”
"I'm sorry ......"
Isbelle bowed her head uncomfortably, whether she was accused or not, those innocent people did die because of her, she was a sinner. Her heart seemed to be weighed down by a heavy stone, and she was breathless, and a great sense of guilt enveloped her.
"I don't know how to comfort you."
Jarvis didn't blame her, he was telling the truth, and when Tony Stark created him, he set a first directive that would not be changed under any circumstances, and that was to protect the innocent.
"No, you don't need to comfort me, you should kill me."
Suddenly, Isbelli's love became a little agitated, and she stood up and grabbed the Iron Man's lethal hand and aimed it at her heart.
"In addition to the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, there are other ways to kill me, just destroy the stone in my heart, Jarvis, I don't want to hurt anyone anymore, please kill me!"
"Miss Lily, please calm down, I can't hurt you."
Jarvis didn't expect an ordinary conversation to turn out like this, and he held her shoulders and tried to calm her down.
"I should have died, I should have died!"
Isbelli's love became more and more unstable, and she fell into a state of self-loss, with only one thought left in her mind, to die quickly so that she would not hurt anyone else. Jarvis tried to stun her, but she saw through it, and she dodged him and rushed to the wall, crashing into it without hesitation.
"Miss Lily!"
Jarvis flew over to stop as fast as he could, but he forgot that he was wearing steel armor that was harder than the wall, and as a result, Isbelli was hurt even more, and a large hole was made in her head, and blood flowed out at once.
At that moment, a tall figure tumbled down from the second floor.
"Bailey?"
After seeing what was going on downstairs, he rushed over in shock and picked up Isbelle, who was covered in blood.
