Chapter 1323: The Interstellar Stage (30)
It was obvious that the man leaning against the wall relaxed a little, his hands clutched the worn-out parts, his back against the wall and slowly slid down, and when he sat on the ground, the heavy exhaustion on his face could no longer be concealed, and he soon passed out.
Riley stepped forward and carried him back to the bed, looking at Stark's frowning brow, he sighed, "I can't imagine what happened to him, what the hell is going on?" ”
Matt didn't speak, but he had a phone in his hand, apparently just called.
After a while, a portal opened in mid-air, and Strange led a few mages out of it.
Matt obviously didn't expect this to bother the Supreme Mage, he stepped forward and shook Strange's hand and said, "What's going on?" Stephen, how did you get here? ”
Strange frowned, his face was a little serious, he looked at Matt and said, "You contacted the New York Temple earlier and told them that a strange Iron Man had come here, but the Earth Defense Network was unable to find out about him, that is, he did not enter Earth through ordinary means. ”
"What the hell is going on here?" Matt was also a little confused.
At this time, Jarvis stepped forward, looked at the two of them and said, "I'm afraid we can only ask him personally, but as you saw just now, he is in a very bad mental state, probably in a state of stress, I think, when he wakes up again, what he sees should not be our group of aggressive interrogators, but the doctors." ”
Matt and Strange looked at each other, and Strange sighed and said, "Okay, send him to Schiller first, and then ask what is going on when his mental state has calmed down." ”
"Maybe you won't have to ask at that time." Matt shook his head, looked at Stark lying on the hospital bed, and said, "For that doctor, the truth is not important, it is easy to use. ”
Night in New York always falls very quickly, from the time the sun sets below the horizon to the time when the light disappears completely, but in just a few minutes, the process of moonrise and sunset is so short that many people are shrouded in darkness before they can react.
However, since the development of air transportation routes has become more and more developed, New York has finally become a city that never sleeps in the true sense of the word, and people no longer have to worry about the safety of walking at night, and the nightlife is richer.
Now, the air transportation line has been extended to the entire New York area, including the suburban town where the Arkham Sanatorium is located, after the completion of the shuttle and the air train almost no noise, no exhaust emissions, clean and pollution-free, fast lines, and perfect medical security measures, has become the favorite mode of transportation for the rich here.
As by far the largest and most popular sanatorium for the wealthy in New York, Arkham Sanatorium has also set up a central station, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor of the nursing home's inpatient center, you can see the shuttles taking off and landing on the south side.
In the night, the shuttle takes off and lands like fireflies, like a ship full of starlight sailing into the distance, and the brightly lit New York skyline in the distance opens its arms to receive the streamer from afar.
As soon as Stark woke up, he saw a white figure standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the New York skyline.
Stark was suddenly nervous, but what he didn't expect was that the figure turned around and pushed his glasses, and said with some complaints: "Tony, what's the matter with you?" How many times this month? Even if you want to experiment with a new suit, you won't fall three times a month, right? ”
"I ......" Stark opened his mouth, but in an instant, his mind was like electricity, as if he had thought of something, he immediately turned his eyes to the side, and said, "It's just a small experimental error, and I didn't fall off, it's just a little problem with the autopilot!" ”
"Your little problem caused you to almost rupture your internal organs, and Matt said you probably had a concussion and didn't even know Peter, that's why they sent you to me, and they said you said you said you said a lot of nonsense when you were faint, let me check your mental state."
"Yes, I was a little dizzy ...... then," Stark paused and said hesitantly, "I may have had a bit of a concussion, say sorry to Peter for me." ”
Stark saw that the doctor in the white coat came over, Stark quietly glanced at the name tag hanging on his chest, and remembered the name, and then pretended to be a little tired and did not continue to speak, half-closed his eyes, silently observed the doctor's expression, judging his relationship with Iron Man.
Schiller sighed softly and said, "As your personal psychiatrist, I must stress to you that Miss Pepper has repeatedly told me that I must inform her of any condition you have. ”
"No, don't! Don't tell her! Stark instinctively said, "I must not let her know that I am so badly injured, she will talk about me for a month!" ”
Schiller looked at Stark with a helpless face and said: "Before you said that you were going to go far away, I thought you were already gone, who knew that you secretly ran to experiment with the new armor, if I help you hide it, Miss Pepper will also deduct my salary." ”
"No, don't do that, Schiller." Seeing Schiller's rather familiar expression and casual tone, Stark deduced in his mind that this doctor might be familiar with the Iron Man of this world.
Although he doesn't know why the Iron Man of this universe actually hired a psychiatrist, it's a good thing, it seems that this doctor is on his side.
And from his words, it can be known that the Iron Man of this world seems to have gone far away, and he, a visitor from another world, can use this time to accomplish his goals.
Schiller raised his hand and said, "You should be glad that Miss Pepper has been very busy lately, otherwise you have been missing for so many hours, she must have been found, you run to me every time you are injured, she knows you too well." ”
"Please, Schiller, help me hide it from her." Stark's eyes widened, staring straight at Schiller with those forever moist brown eyes, no one could refuse Iron Man's gaze, Schiller sighed and said, "Okay, this is the last time, it's not my responsibility." ”
After saying that, Schiller turned around and took out a document from the cabinet next to him, and said, "This is your quarterly consultation bill, are you signing here, or am I sending it to Stark Group?" ”
Stark took it without looking at it, signed his name with a big stroke of the pen, handed it back to Schiller, and then sat up with his hands on the bed, and said: "That, I still have some problems, I'm afraid I have to go back to the Stark Group first, by the way, what about the intelligent control center left by my suit?" It contains valuable information about the experiment, and I need to take it back with me. ”
Stark flipped his hands and said, "You know what kind of trouble the Avengers' high-tech stuff will cause if they are left out. ”
"Don't worry, Peter has already sent that thing back to Stark Tower."
Stark's hand holding the sheet tightened immediately, and then he heard Schiller say, "Peter said that it was a little broken, and he tried a few times and couldn't get into the Stark Building's intelligent control system, so he put it in the lab you frequented, and you can find it on the row of shelves on the right-hand side." ”
Stark breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Help me thank him, I didn't mean to yell at him before." ”
"It's time for you to change your temper." Schiller got up from his chair and said, "The last time you crashed into a truck and fell to me, you almost yelled at the nurse, if Miss Pepper knew......"
"Please, don't let her know!" Stark instinctively interrupted Schiller and said, "Pepper will spicy me, and when Stark dies, no one will pay you for the consultation!" ”
Schiller smiled, looked back at him and said, "Okay, my rich man, Mr. Stark, you're fine, you can go home, by the way, Strange just came to say that there was something wrong with you, and I said you're still dizzy, and remember to go to the Holy of Holies when you go back." ”
Stark nodded, sprang out of bed almost at flying speed, Schiller pointed to a door next to him as he wrote his medical records, and said, "The locker room is over there, don't go wrong again." ”
Stark gestured to him OK, rushed into the locker room like the wind, and after a while, he changed into a slightly coquettish suit, put on a pair of sunglasses, waved at Schiller and walked out the door.
The nurses he met on the way all nodded politely to him, and some patients who seemed to know Stark smiled and greeted him, Stark saw many familiar faces, so he immediately understood that this was a nursing home for the rich, and there were many such places outside New York, and he occasionally went to them.
In fact, Stark has a natural trust in the profession of a doctor, because when he was kidnapped to Afghanistan before, it was Dr. Ethan who saved him, and it seems that this Doctor Rodriguez in this world should also be trusted by Iron Man.
Thinking like this, Stark walked briskly down the stairs and walked out of the door of the sanatorium building, and then he thought of a question, now that he didn't have a suit and didn't drive, how should he go back?
Stark glanced at the sky, it was already past 10 o'clock, and even he didn't dare to wander around the streets of New York at this time without any weapons and armaments, and if he didn't do it, he would capsize in the gutter.
So, he grabbed a nurse walking through the square and said, "Hello, I'm Stark, can you call a taxi for me?" ”
The nurse glanced at him and said with some surprise, "Oh, Mr. Stark, did your suit hit the truck again?" ”
Stark pursed his lips in his heart, he thought, this cosmic Iron Man is really lame, and the experimental accident is actually known to everyone.
But it doesn't matter, the truly great genius is here, and he should be grateful that his laboratory has the opportunity to be baptized by a real Iron Man, and he will leave a little fruit here, as compensation for his impostor.
As soon as he was about to speak, the nurse said with some confusion: "Call a taxi?" What nonsense are you talking about, there are no taxis for a long time...... Oh, you can't find the shuttle site again, do you? ”
The nurse showed an extremely helpless expression, pointed to the side and said, "Last time the head nurse said that you can get lost in the square where there is only one road, I didn't believe it, but I didn't expect to be bumped into by me this time...... See? The road over there at the fence arch leads to the Shuttle Ride Center, and you just walk along there! ”
"I still have to deliver something, so I won't take you there, if you can't find it, you can go to the next building and ask the nurse."
With that, the nurse walked away with a stack of papers, and Stark stood a little confused, he didn't understand what the nurse meant by "shuttle".
Stark scratched his face as he stood in the middle of the square, thinking, maybe the name of some special taxi company?
So, without thinking too much, he walked the way the nurse pointed out.
There are many large trees in the square in the center of the sanatorium, so that the patients can have a place to relax outdoors, so the light of the shuttle take-off and landing does not shine here, but once you walk out along this road, all the air transportation facilities are clearly visible.
This is the most expensive area in New York, almost all celebrities have a vacation villa here, and because of Stark's selfishness, the entire East New York suburbs of the shuttle transportation center is built next to the nursing home, and the peak period can reach more than 200 shuttles per minute.
At night, the scene is even more striking, as the coating on the exterior of all shuttles glows, and when they move at full speed, they are indistinguishable from meteors.
As soon as Stark stepped out of the shade of the road, he saw countless streamers flying above his head, as if he was in the apocalypse where the universe was turned upside down and the stars were falling.
Standing at the end of the road, countless streamers converged, Stark could barely open his eyes illuminated by the bright light, Iron Man stretched out his arm to block his eyes, and his unbelievable shouts echoed in the square.
"What is this?!!!!"
Who wants popcorn!
