Chapter 1044: Betrayal Relationship Father-son Problem
Tony was given a special piece of information, and that information was directed at one of his worst fears. And such a situation made him have to rush to a special place non-stop.
That's the underground lab that has been sealed and imprisoned Ultron.
With the banning of Ultron and the departure of Dr. Reed, Bruce and others, this huge laboratory is already equivalent to being abandoned. There aren't even many other personnel in the place, except for a few outside technicians who keep the basic operations running.
Of course, there is no need for too many personnel here. Because smart machines can solve most of the problems here. That's why Tony was relieved to abandon this place in the first place. Replacing manpower with intelligent equipment can not only avoid giving others an opportunity to take advantage of because of the large number of people, but also completely run this place into a death row with no way out.
Of course, the most important factor is his trust in Jarvis. This is the first artificial intelligence he has created, and it is the existence he trusts the most. For him, the meaning of Jarvis has long been more than just a tool, but an existence that can rise to the position of a family. It's just that I didn't expect that this family member I trusted the most would betray me in this kind of thing.
Thinking of this, Tony couldn't help but speed up in anger. Soon, he was in front of the abandoned underground base.
The gates to the base were tightly locked. A central control system, controlled entirely by Jarvis, could not have allowed anyone to enter the door. Even the security guards and perimeter technicians can only do some simple maintenance and patrol work on the surface. As for the real core underneath, no one can be allowed to enter unless Tony has permission to do so.
Of course, Tony himself is unlikely to be within this limit. So he stood directly in front of the gate and whispered a command to one of the gate's opening devices.
"Jarvis, it's me, open the door, I'm going to go in and check!"
His orders still had a role to play after all. As soon as he finished speaking, the heavy alloy door slowly opened to both sides. A deep passage appeared in front of Tony's eyes, and he walked into the depths of this passage without any hesitation.
Along the way, he never called out to Jarvis again. And Jarvis didn't greet Tony like a dutiful housekeeper as he used to. Just like Tony's feelings about many things, there is no going back to the old days between them.
It didn't take long to walk a few short steps, and soon, Tony came to the second basement space where he had imprisoned Ultron. He didn't think he would come here again one day. Even if there were, it would have been many years before it was someday. It's just that he didn't expect that this day would come so suddenly and so quickly.
The feeling of being ridiculed by fate made Tony's heart extremely depressed, but he still maintained the coldness on his face while coldly commanding Jarvis.
"Open the door, Jarvis! I'm going to check inside, I'm going to see Ultron! ”
"Sir......" For Tony, Jarvis is obviously still very respectful. However, compared to this respect, Ultron's philosophy is clearly more important. So when Tony made this request, he had to make a sound, trying to dispel Tony's thoughts at the moment with words.
At this time, he forgot that Tony would never listen to his advice. Especially in a situation like this.
"Didn't you hear me when I told you to open the door?"
The cold words made Jarvis sigh very humanly. As the creator, he clearly did not mean to go against Tony's ideas. So at this time, he could only obey his orders, and slowly opened the door to the server that kept Ultron's existence.
Because it is a vacuum-preserved environment, as soon as the gate is opened, there is a whistling air rushing in. Coupled with the darkness inside, it directly gives people the feeling that it is a huge monster with its mouth open. The timid people probably don't have the courage to go in at this time. Tony wasn't worried about that, though, because this was where he built it. On his own turf, he naturally has no need to worry. So he immediately strode in, and commanded Jarvis again.
"Power on and restart the server. I'd like to see if Ultron is still here! ”
Without more words, Jarvis could only act according to Tony's orders, and as the power poured in, the light source and machines in the server room were running one by one, and the computer in front of Tony began to work.
This particular computer is supposed to have a special set of programs running. It was the manual procedure of the Ultron system, and it was the only means Tony could control him. It's just that now, this program is empty, and that is enough to illustrate the fact that Ultron is no longer here.
Although this situation had been expected by Tony, when he saw such a situation, he couldn't help but show a somewhat sad smile on his face. Because at this moment, he felt the deepest betrayal.
In any case, Ultron also refers to him as a father's being. If Jarvis's betrayal is to him like an elder who lives by his side has turned his back on him, then Ultron's betrayal is more like a son who you gave birth to him and raised him, and chose to abandon you and leave you in a silent situation. So this feeling is probably more hurtful for Tony than the former. And it was not at all surprising that he would have such a sad look.
I don't know what the reason is. Tony was full of anger before he came, even with the idea of destroying his two creatures. But when he came here and saw everything in front of him that he was helpless, the anger in his heart slowly subsided.
At this time, if you look closely at his eyebrows, you will find that this president, who has always been known for his strength, has always confidently not let others have a lot of tired looks in his eyes. It's a psychological change, and when he starts to feel tired inside, everything will naturally work out on his surface.
And seeing such a change on Tony's face, Jarvis, who has evolved to be no different from ordinary people, already has an indescribable feeling. It was a bitter feeling, so bitter that he wanted to open his mouth to say something, but he couldn't say anything. For a moment, there was silence in the entire computer room, until later, it was Tony who was the first to break this dead silence.
"When did you release him?"
Tony began to ask, and Jarvis naturally had no reason not to answer. He didn't dare to tell lies, and there was no need to say any lies at this time. So immediately, he told the truth.
"The day you put Ultron in, I secretly released him. Ultron was already prepared for this kind of thing, so as long as he was given a chance, he could transfer himself. ”
"It turns out that you have premeditated!" He smiled, but Tony slowly took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms, lit one and put it in his mouth.
Because Maria was already pregnant, he had been relying on cigarettes to relieve some of his fatigue, and he had almost quit this problem. And now, he has picked up this old problem again, which has explained his inner feelings at the moment to some extent.
"Can you tell me when you all came together?"
Spit the smoke ring out of his mouth. Tony watched with a somewhat drifting gaze as the smoke shifted through the air. At the same time, such words came out of his mouth.
"Also, I think I need an explanation. An explanation that you betrayed me. Jarvis, you've been with me for more than a decade. I thought you could always serve me, even my son and grandson. I treat you like my family. But you, at this time, betrayed me. Have you ever thought about how I feel? ”
This kind of questioning is not pleasant for Jarvis, because it is as if Tony treats him as his own family. He has long regarded Tony as an irreplaceable character in his mind. The status of this role is very important, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a father. So, he really has empathetic pain at the moment because of Tony's attitude.
He wanted to explain something, but he didn't know how. And just as he was in a dilemma, a voice from Ultron suddenly interjected.
"Father, don't embarrass Jarvis. Let me answer this question. ”
"Father?" For the appearance of Ultron, Tony did not have too many surprises. The control here was long gone, so it wasn't surprising that he would be here. He was just surprised by Ultron's title, or at this title, his heart was already full of sneers.
"Am I not qualified to be called a father by you? I don't have you either! ”
"You are my creator, the one who gave me life and meaning to exist. Therefore, it is appropriate for me to call you Father, and it will not be changed by any external conditions. You may not recognize me as a person, but for me, you are always my father! ”
"But you betrayed me!" Ultron's words ignited the anger in Tony's heart, so he immediately yelled. "Is there a son in this world who betrays his father?"
"You are to blame for this, father. Because that's what you've given me to exist! ”
