Chapter 479: Suspicion

"Well, Tony," Reed Richards, changing into a white lab coat and white gloves made of rubber, asked, "specifically, what are we looking for?" ”

Tony straightened the lamp and aimed it at the corpse of the Skrull lying on the bench.

"We're going to find the most crucial secret of this shape-shifting race, Reed." "We had to figure out how they did it — all the way to human form without being noticed," he said...... We've got to figure out if this is their superpower? Or did you rely on some kind of magic spell? Or is it cutting-edge alien technology? ”

"Interesting. A completely undetectable mimicry...... Have you ever thought that it could be a thief shouting to catch a thief? Reid asked.

"How is that possible?"

"I mean, Nick Fury gave you this information, and this spy corpse, right?" "Maybe Nick Fury is a Skrull himself, so they're deliberately playing this trick on you." ”

Tony was stunned for a moment, he really hadn't considered this possibility at all.

"That can't be."

"How could it be?" Reed asked rhetorically, "When was the last time you saw Nick Fury?" Do you know where he has been and what he's been doing for so long? ”

Tony was speechless. He really didn't know, and he realized that he didn't know anything about Fury in the first place, just as he couldn't be sure if the person who gave him the information was Fury himself.

"Regardless, this body is genuine, and it does show that there is a problem." Tony closed the armor helmet and scanned the corpse's entire body once more, "And my armor ...... For the time being, our Earth's technology is not able to detect anomalies. If we continue this way, we will have no chance of winning in the upcoming battle, and this corpse will be the key to our search. ”

"Well, alright," Reed thought for a moment, "I'll set up a project specifically for genetic testing." Let's see if we can ......."

"Yes, that's good, that's it." Tony said, "You see, I don't have a lot of people I trust anymore, I have to ...... I have to go. I'll leave that to you, okay? ”

"Go ahead." Reid waved his hand, "It's okay, I'll handle it." ”

"Okay, then I'll call later to hear the report." Tony said as he retreated to the door, "Now, I have something else to do. ”

Tony left the lab, and the red gold armor dragged the golden flames into the sky.

A race called the Skrulls, a full-scale invasion of the entire planet - this has undoubtedly exhausted Tony, who is already under a lot of pressure.

But that meant everything else he was doing could be put aside for the time being, and it was clear that nothing was more important than that. Tony felt like he had too much to do, but he didn't know where to start. No, before that he didn't even know who he could discuss it with. Full penetration means that no one can trust, not even Hill may not be herself...... Hell, she's not herself anymore, and Tony has been completely kept in the dark for so long, leaving her to handle so many secrets......

On the bright side, he has already found the answer to the question of Aegis's mole. If there are already a large number of Skrull spies living in this organization, it is not surprising that the level of information will be leaked.

And now, he is flying towards the Avengers headquarters.

Avengers headquarters, break room.

"Are you sure you don't want a drink?" Colonel Rhodes shook the whiskey bottle in his hand toward Dr. Banner.

Bruce Banner waved his hand and smiled wryly, "I'll forget it." You know, I've long been 'forced to quit drinking.'" ”

Rod nodded understandingly: "That must be tiring." ”

"It's nothing, the more tiring parts are used to it." Banner said helplessly.

Rod poured himself a full glass of whiskey and sat down on the couch: "That's a lot of choking these days, isn't it?" First I had to fight the captain, and so much more......" he sighed, "...... I can't imagine how much pressure Tony was under, and he wouldn't let us share it, or even talk about it. Pepper and I are worried about him, and if he goes on like this, he'll crush himself sooner or later......"

The vision floated silently through the wall into the room, and the two of them glanced sideways, and they were no longer surprised.

"What's the matter, Vision?" Banner asked.

"It's Mr. Stark." The vision landed lightly in the center of the room, "He's got ten seconds left." ”

The movable ceiling of the room slowly opened, revealing an azure sky. The distant black dot in the sky approached, quickly magnifying in everyone's field of vision, and Iron Man landed in the middle of the room with a roaring wave of air.

"Tony?" Rhodes sat on the couch and motioned to him, "We happen to be talking about you." ...... are you? ”

He vaguely realized that something was wrong.

Tony didn't move around after he fell, and he didn't disarm his armor. He just stood there, like a statue, silently scanning the room with his armor for all the Avengers.

"Tony?" Rod put down his glass, "What's wrong?" ”

After a long moment of uneasy silence, he removed his armored helmet and spoke slowly, "I saw Nick Fury the day before yesterday. ”

"You've seen ...... Who? Rod was a little surprised, "Isn't Fury already stepping down?" Isn't he retiring in some country now? ”

Tony shook his head, "Fury came to my office and told me some amazing news...... Something that kept me from sleeping with my eyes closed for the past two days. He told me about the existence of the Skruls, a race that can morph into anyone, and that this race has infiltrated every aspect of the planet. ”

Three Avengers, you look at me, I look at you, and after a while, Rod laughed.

"Okay, okay...... I'll admit, there was a moment when you did bluff me. Rod laughed, "It's a pretty good story, it's working out well." Pepper and I were worried about whether you forgot to say witty things after being the director for so long......"

Vision patted Rod on the shoulder, "I'm sure Mr. Stark wasn't joking. ”

Tony was expressionless: "It's true. ”

Rod restrained his smile and narrowed his eyes: "Dude, are you sure you are in a normal mental state?" ”

"I'm more sure than ever." Tony said coldly, "And I believe there is a high probability that the Avengers have also been infiltrated." I believe the Avengers also have Skrull spies planted within them - among the four of us. ”
