In Stark's lab, there was a high pile of documents and materials, and Jarvis had to add a set of robotic arms to his new body to organize all the experimental materials.

There are four robotic arms in a set, which are fixed to the shoulders and waist of Jarvis's robotic body, the upper arm can work with his arm to sort different documents, and the lower robotic arm is responsible for stuffing them into various cabinets.

Because some of the experimental data was too complex to be judged using a simple program, and it needed to be kept secret, it was only done by Jarvis and Stark.

In the next room, Otto was pounding the table with a grumpy face, and he said, "If you don't trust my skills, then why do you want to come to me?!" ”

"I repeat, tentacles can be directly connected to the human nervous system, there will be no sequelae, and you don't need to add another layer of mecha in the middle!"

"Of course, I've read your research materials, but I'm just not used to putting four big tentacles on my back, it's so ugly!" Stark also raised his voice.

"You know, my fans love Iron Man because they like my streamlined, high-tech gear, not the four ugly tentacles, and I'm here to solve the problem, so you just shut up and get to work, okay?"

Otto took a deep breath, tried to recall the series of zeros on the contract that Pepper had given him, shook his head, and resigned himself to adding mechanical tentacles to Stark's mech.

In order to further improve his productivity, Stark felt that he needed to add a few extra hands.

It is often said that he is a capitalist who exploits employees, but Stark must prove that he is ruthless and exploits himself.

He made himself a very complete set of life-sustaining armor, and with magical energy, he didn't even have to sleep for a week.

He didn't eat, drink, or sleep, and devoted himself to the experiment, which is why his anxiety disorder was so severe before.

This time, he's going to equip the set with four more Doctor Octopus-like mechanical tentacles.

Although he can use the robot to help him work by giving Jarvis commands, neither dexterity nor touch is as good as his own hands, and if the neural connection can achieve the effect of a few more hands, it is still worth it.

Otto spent a long day in the lab, adjusting the various models of mechanical tentacles, and Strange came out of the magic portal to begin preparations for the operation.

As long as it is a nerve connection, surgery will definitely be required, but after a period of technical improvements, Strange is trying to do minimally invasive nerve connection surgery, or even external nerve connection surgery.

To put it simply, it is to use a special material to extend the human nerve beyond the surface of the body, so that it will be much easier to use external equipment with various nerve connections and save a lot of pain.

But because this technique has not been tested, it cannot be used on Stark, and he can only use the most traditional intra-body implanted neural access device to achieve the control of tentacles.

"I have to warn you that nerve access surgery is risky, and I have already given the risk notice to Jarvis, but it doesn't matter if you sign it or not, because if the operation fails, I will activate the gem and we can do it again."

"Plus, in ten minutes, Schiller will be there." Strange looked down at his watch and said, "Oh no, there's seven minutes left, and he's always on time." ”

"Wait a minute, what is he doing here?" Stark walked up to the mech and turned around, walking backwards into the mech, letting the mech cover him.

Unlike other battle suits, the Survival Armor pursues the ultimate lightness, and it is best to act as if it were nothing, so after Stark wears this mech, it looks more like he is wearing a tight-fitting suit, and only some mechanical structures can be seen at the joints.

Strange put the medical records in his hand to the side, looked at Stark and said, "I have to remind you that neurosurgery hurts, it hurts, it hurts. ”

"The most important thing is that you don't want to use ***, I really don't know, how do you ......"

"Don't mention it." Stark tilted his head and tried to change the subject, but Otto said, "If you want to prove it in such a childish way

If you know your manhood, then all I can say is that you'd better go back to college and repeat it. ”

Stark snorted coldly and said, "Manly? I won't be as naïve as Peter's boy, don't you know? Any dose of anesthetic can cause damage to the brain, and I absolutely cannot afford to do so. ”

"In other words, when you tossed that thing in your chest before, you didn't have any anesthetic???" Strange looked at Stark and said, "I have to admit that you are indeed a bit manly. ”

Stark's face turned a little pale at the thought of the incident that Strange had mentioned, and they pursed their lips and said, "Don't mention that incident again, I don't want to remember." ”

When life and death are at stake, people are always able to develop their potential to the fullest, but afterwards, they still feel afraid that Stark's mental condition is not stable enough, and there are also reasons for the shadow left by the events in Afghanistan.

"Good morning, everyone." Schiller walked into the lab, holding a medical record in his hand, then looked at Stark and said, "I heard that there is a big boy who wants to show off his manhood, wants to have nerve access surgery, but doesn't have anesthetics?" ”

"Don't talk so much, if you keep talking, my heart rate is not suitable for surgery." Stark took a deep breath and said, "Later, I'll show you what true masculinity is." ”

Ten minutes later, screams pierced the silent skies of New York.

"Ah!!!!!!! Ahh!!!!!hhhh ”

"Didi-Di-Di-Di-"

"The alarm went off." Schiller turned his head to look at the instrument on the side, and while recording, he said, "The brainwave activity is not normal, stop it!" ”

Strange immediately stopped what he was doing, took off his gloves, took out the gem, and with a flash of light, he turned back time and returned to the time before the operation.

Stark, who was fixed on the operating table, gasped and was covered in cold sweat, although the wound and blood were gone, his memory had not been reset, just now, the terrible pain engulfed him in an instant.

Stark, who was naked, sat up from the operating table with one arm supporting his body.

Strange looked at Stark's back while packing up the surgical instruments, just now, there was a small window, the wound was not deep, and the blood flow was not much, but the process of nerve access could bring extreme pain.

"I say, man, how the hell are you going to endure this pain????" Stark looked at Otto and said, "Even if there is an anesthetic, it is simply not something that humans can tolerate. ”

Otto shook his head and said, "It's true that during the operation, I woke up in pain seven or eight times, but because it was intermittent, it wasn't so serious, and if you didn't use anesthetics at all, then I can only wish you good luck." ”

Schiller turned to Strange and said, "Would it be possible to have Professor X forcibly stop his brain from working?" ”

Strange shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, but maybe it will also have a certain effect on the brain, his thinking is too active, and his brain activity is much stronger than that of ordinary people, if it is forcibly suppressed, it ......"

Strange didn't finish his sentence, and several people present knew his conclusion, and Schiller thought about it again and said, "How about borrowing a symbiote?" Directly blocks the sensation of pain. ”

Several others were silent, as if thinking, Strange touched his chin and said, "It should be possible, this symbiotic creature is very amazing, it can control every cell on the human body......"

"But before, the symbiotes had already returned to their home planet...... Wait a minute, it looks like there's still a symbiote that hasn't left? ”

Schiller and Strange glanced at each other, and Stark, who was lying on the operating table, suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Rotten, we're meeting again!"

Venom's low, hoarse voice sounded in Stark's mind, and he slammed the table hard and said, "You damn mud, get out of my head!! ”

"Oh, oh, oh, let me hear, which little darling came to his Venom daddy because he couldn't stand the pain? Later, I'm going to make sure to record the changes in each of your cells, and write them down in my genetic catalog, and tell the universe, Tony Stark, that it's a pain

of crybabys! Hahahahahaha!!ha ”

"Shut up, mud, do you want me to tell the universe that you're retarded? Later, I'll open the portal, go around Klinta, and tell my people that it takes you two hours to learn about linear functions! ”

Strange, who looked at Stark sitting there in a daze and was preparing experimental equipment, bumped Schiller next to him with his shoulder and said, "I guess, the two of them must have quarreled already." ”

"That's a good thing, Tony should change his mind." Schiller glanced back at Stark and said, "Don't you think, he's been a little crazy lately?" ”

Strange also glanced back at Stark, lowered his voice and said, "I found that he is always very insecure, when things are not going well, he will feel very irritable, but when things are going well, he will feel that things will soon fall into the trough." ”

"Just like recently, the solar system construction plan is going very well, but he must squeeze his brain, not let go of every minute, and dare not let himself stop and rest."

"I asked him why he did this, and he said that these people can't be united forever, and since they are getting better now, they must seize this opportunity." ”

Schiller's hand paused, sighed, and said: "In his concept, good times are always only a few, and long-term depression, depression, violence, and stagnation are the norm. ”

"I think it has a lot to do with his father." Strange lowered his tone and said, "Isn't that just a description of an alcoholic?" When sober, it is always a minority, and most of the time it is like a puddle of mud...... I know that. ”

"Yes, people who grow up in such situations often have the feeling that they have to hurry up and get everything done on a quiet day, because at any time, there can be a drunkard who rushes into his room and abuses and beats him, and this is where the insecurity comes from."

"Haven't you thought about treating this problem?" Strange looked up at Schiller and asked, "Of course, I'm not saying you have to do it, but if you can, he should be healthy." ”

"I've tried it before, but this personality trait has become his personality trait, a part of him, and I'm afraid it's hard to get rid of it."

"Wait, personality traits?" Strange turned to Schiller and asked, "I remember, you said before that every character in your mind tower is a part of your personality traits, and you can control when these traits come out to work, so how do you do all this?" ”

Hearing this, Schiller's hand stopped, but soon, he began to get busy again, he lowered his head in silence, as if he did not want to answer the question, Strange saw this, and did not continue to ask.

When Venom possessed Stark, Strange restarted the operation, and without even making another incision, Venom directly opened a very small wound in Stark's back, implanted the nerve connection device, and remotely connected it to the vitamin armor.

Not only was the whole process painless, but the moment he connected, Stark felt as if he had two more arms that he could control, and after confirming that it was correct, he connected the remaining two tentacles.

Stark, who was sitting on the operating table, shook his head, blinked vigorously, and said, "It's amazing, I seem...... It seems that there are really a few more arms. ”

Otto was behind the mech, debugging, and he said, "If you don't use this mech as a relay, you'll feel better." ”

In an instant, the four tentacles twitched, and one of them directly slapped Otto on the ground, and Stark said, "Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to. ”

"Alright, let the most genius Venom in the universe take a look, what kind of weird thing have you made? …… Tentacle?? If you want tentacles, why don't you come to me? ”

Venom snorted, and in an instant, countless tentacles composed of black slime erupted from Stark's back, and each of them was connected to Stark's nerves and could be directly manipulated with his brain.

"Listen, even if the mechanical tentacles don't work well, I will never use your mud!" Stark raised his voice and said loudly.

very

After the bell, in the laboratory, Stark yelled:

"You mud! I repeat! Don't make a fuss when I ask you to get the information! ”

A black slime tentacle behind Stark's back was retracted with a "whoosh", but then another tentacle began to rummage through the filing cabinet.

Just as the one-man symbiote was fighting, Schiller and Strange, who had just finished sorting out the medical records, walked in, and Stark's ears were pricked up, although the movements of his hands did not stop.

When he heard him, Schiller said, "I've made a really amazing thing lately, do you want to take a look at it?" ”

"Magical stuff?" Strange turned his head to look at Schiller and asked, "What is it?" What would you call something magical? ”

Stark also looked back with some curiosity, and then he and Strange saw that Schiller's head, with a "poof", lit up with a circle of light.

Stark and Strange both approached Schiller, and Strange took the lead in waving his hand and said, "I thought it was, wasn't it just a magic light effect?" I can do it too! ”

With that, Strange snapped his fingers, and a circle of light lit up on his head, and he shook his head at Schiller with some smugness.

Schiller showed a sneer, and under the gaze of Stark and Strange, he stretched out his hand and took off the aperture on his head.
