190, Banner joined (5th update)
After experiencing the baptism of the ice corpse virus, New York City was completely paralyzed, and even if the ice corpse virus has been completely eliminated, the reconstruction of New York City will not happen overnight.
Fortunately, the city's basic water and electricity supply has not been cut off, and the transportation system can be restored to normal within 48 hours, except for the major hospitals that are crowded with a steady stream of injured patients, and all other functions of the city are returning to normal in an orderly manner.
Loki stole the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, but the Avengers also obtained the Psychic Gem and the Hulk, so the Avengers did not lose money in this transaction, and they made a steady profit.
Nick Fury sends Hawkeye and the American team to lead a search for the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, and Thor volunteers to join the search for Loki, while Rosho and Stark stay behind to take on another mission - to talk to Bruce Banner.
Tony chose the location of the conversation in his own home, which he thought would make Bruce Banner more relaxed, after all, the extravagant dΓ©cor of the Stark house was more pyrotechnic and friendly than any cold office, laboratory, or even interrogation room.
But in reality, Stark didn't achieve his goal, and Bruce Banner was still nervous.
He hunched his neck in a lazy chair, his hands clasped nervously together, beads of sweat on his forehead, and his legs were neatly put together.
Stark smiled awkwardly, "Dr. Banner, we're not interrogating prisoners, you can't be so nervous." β
Nick Fury said considerately, "If you think there's too many people here, I can get the agents to leave." β
With that, he waved his hand at Coulson, Black Widow, and Ciel, and the three of them turned to leave the living room.
So there were only four people left on the scene: Banner, Stark, Fury, and Rosho.
"Are you feeling better?" Fury asked.
Bruce Banner nodded, "Much better, thank you." Even though it's a lot of space, it makes me feel bad to have so many people staring at me......"
"Understandable." Stark laughed and said, "I don't like to be watched, but I get a group of people following me everywhere I go......"
"Oh, if you mean being adored by onlookers, I actually quite like it." Dr. Banner said frankly, "But I'm different, and I'm only in the places where I am...... I'm sorry I destroyed your lab, I know this must have taken a terrible toll, did I kill someone today? Please, please tell me I didn't kill anyone......"
"Take it easy, you're not killing." Fury said, "Fortunately, there weren't many people in the place where you appeared, so there were no victims today, you just smashed a few S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and demolished Stark's underground lab." β
"Thank goodness ......" Bruce Banner breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was still full of self-reproach, "I should find a place to die quietly, or simply throw myself into outer space!" I'm not a normal person, I'm a monster, I'm a disaster......"
"Don't be so pessimistic, Dr. Banner, it's a God-given ability, and it's not necessarily without its benefits." Nick said, "Tell us first, why did you come to New York?" β
"Because the guy who called himself a god said he had a way to separate the Hulk from my body, and that was what I wanted to do the most." Dr. Banner said, "I can't wait to get back to normal." β
"But you're a genius in nuclear physics, and you're the person who knows Hulk the Hulk best, and you can't separate Hulk from your body, are you sure anyone else can?" Stark asked, wondering how Loki had deceived the intelligent Bruce Banner.
"He didn't tell me I could do it, he just said it was a possibility...... Bruce Banner said, "but even if there was a 1 in 10,000 chance, I wanted to give it a try." After all, you all know Hulk, he's a disaster, he's a nightmare......"
Stark patted Banner on the shoulder as a sign of comfort.
Bruce Banner continued, "This guy showed me a magical energy source from outer space that can radiate new energy in a way that has never been done before, and can even control the human mind and consciousness......"
"You mean that?"
At this time, Luo Xiu walked over and opened his palm to reveal a yellow gem floating on it.
Soul Primordial.
The crystals that constantly release weak energy radiation to the outside world contain energy and technology that are completely incomprehensible with the current level of science and technology on the earth.
"That's it!" Bruce Banner's eyes lit up, "Maybe it can separate me from the Hulk." β
"Perhaps, Dr. Banner." Luo Xiu said, "We can develop this mysterious energy crystal together. As far as I know, this crystal is called the Soul Stone, and its ability is to control the autonomous consciousness of all living beings, which is equivalent to a super hacker who can hijack the minds of individual living beings...... As for how to use it to separate the Hulk from your body, this remains to be studied. β
"You want me to join forces with you?" Bruce Banner was a little surprised.
Luo Xiu nodded: "That's true." β
Stark and Fury looked at each other, and the two of them shared the same thoughts.
Stark said, "Dr. Banner, I really need a genius like you on my side, after all, these alien technologies are too profound, and Xiu and I urgently need help to improve efficiency." β
However, Bruce Banner shook his head: "No, I can't stay in New York, and you have seen what I just did...... I don't know when the Hulk will come out of my body, and his presence will only bring destruction and killing......"
"Dr. Banner, you don't have to worry about that, I'll take care of you and stop the Hulk from doing anything." Luo Xiu said with a smile.
Stark nodded, "That's right, Xiu just used the spell to successfully hypnotize the Hulk, it seems that this method is very effective, and it can minimize the damage caused by the Hulk." β
Nick Fury also joined in the persuasion: "Since you came to New York to separate the Hulk, don't go back empty-handed, Dr. Banner, you need to use the power of the Psychic Stone to separate the Hulk, and we need to use your power to study the Psychic Primordial." β
Hearing this, Bruce Banner took a deep breath and finally made up his mind.
"Well, in that case, I'd better be respectful."
Tony Stark smiled and held out his hand to him, "Welcome to the Avengers, Dr. Banner." β
Bruce Banner smiled shyly, "Thank you." β
Luo Xiu also welcomed the new members of the Avengers, and he could almost predict Loki's wailing......
