Chapter 1859: The Madman's Journey (35)

Everyone in the Star-Swallowing Engine looked at the results of Natasha's investigation and expressed their opinions.

Nick, as the king of agents, of course, saw the clues, he said: "The possibility of Rose committing the crime is very small, not to mention that I personally don't think he can commit murder, Tony will go to Rhodes completely improvised." ”

"And Ross and Rhodes' factions in the military are not completely opposed, there is no reason for him to install surveillance equipment in Rhodes' house, and it is impossible for him to know that Rhodes complained to Tony about his arrest operation, and even if he did, he would not have time to prepare for action."

"It's very strange." Tony frowned and said: "I came here in this world wearing a battle suit, and the battle armor worn by Tony Stark already has the most basic life scanning function, even if the other party has an invisible function, there will be nothing to hide under the scan, how can it not be discovered?" ”

"Unless the other party doesn't come at all." T'Challa, who was standing behind the bar, offered his opinion, saying, "I think the other side may have poisoned them in advance." ”

"Again, Tony was obviously improvised, who would have calculated that he would suddenly go to Rhodes and poison him in advance?" Nick refuted this notion by saying, "Either Tony is unlucky, or the other party is going to murder Rhodes at this time, and he just happened to run into it." ”

"It's too unlikely." Tony shook his head and said, "The other party clearly wants to create a contradiction between the Stark Group and the military, and there is no such coincidence in the world." ”

"Have you ever thought that the other party was also improvised?" Schiller spoke: "Changed your behavior based on Tony's behavior? ”

"But again, if he is spying on Stark in this universe, then he will definitely be discovered."

"Not necessarily." Schiller thought and said.

Although he knows what the normal plot of this universe should be, it is obvious that the current situation is very abnormal, and the murderer's actions against Thor and against Tony have a certain overlap, and there was no such thing originally, which is not explained by the butterfly effect brought by Natasha.

Schiller silently analyzed in his heart, did the murderer want to complete the two cases in a hurry, or was there more than one mastermind behind the scenes?

"Let's start from scratch." Nick held out a finger and said, "At noon, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents received an investigation mission for an unidentified falling object, and around half past three in the afternoon, Natasha and Coulson arrived in New Mexico. ”

"At half past four in the afternoon, the crazy Thor broke in, and at five in the afternoon Thor returned to normal, and almost at the same time, Tony came to Colonel Rod's house."

"At half past eleven in the evening, Colonel Rhodes showed signs of physical abnormality, and at three o'clock in the morning Rhodes died."

"Then the most noteworthy thing is that at five o'clock in the afternoon, Thor returned to normal, and Tony came to Rod's house, does this mark that the murderer's target has officially changed from Thor to Rod?"

"Did Loki find anything unusual when he was using magic to check on Thor in this universe?" Schiller asked, looking at Thor.

Thor shook his head and said, "There's nothing unusual about him. ”

"And what about the recurrence of old injuries?" Nick asked.

"Nonsense." Thor shook his head and said: "The capital of the Asgardians across the universe is their powerful recovery ability, no matter how fierce the battle is, no matter how serious the injuries are, as long as there is still a breath, there will be no sequelae after recuperation." ”

"I know better than anyone that I didn't have any old wounds at that time, and although I was hurt a little by the mess with Jotunheim, the skin wounds healed long before the Father of the Gods called me over."

Nick couldn't help but sigh, showing some envy for the strong physique of the Asgardians, but at this time, Schiller frowned and said: "So is it possible that when Thor cried out in pain, his heart was really injured, and when Loki checked in the past, thanks to the strong recovery ability of the Protoss, the wound had healed?" ”

"But if it's just such a small injury, how can he hurt so much?" Thor asked rhetorically.

Schiller smiled and said, "Then you are really underestimating the experience that humans have summed up in millions of years of torturing their own kind, and we are good at making all life suffer. ”

Thor was speechless.

"Then I can't understand that." T'Challa spoke up again, "The moment Tony stepped into Rod's house, the killer shifted his attention from Thor to the two of them. ”

"The question is, did Tony's entry into Rod's house divert the murderer's attention, or was the murderer forced to move to Tony's side because he wanted to avoid Loki's detection?"

"Or both." Schiller thought and said: "Since he can bring down Thor, the god of thunder, it means that the murderer's ability is not small, and the power of Loki's probing is not hidden, and he is likely to feel the fluctuation of energy." ”

He didn't want to expose himself, so he had to leave, and just as he was determining the escape route, he found Tony and Rhodes together, and he couldn't find another plan, so he set the target as Rhodes.

"Why me?" Stark immediately grasped the point, "Why did he think of me in the first place when he was preparing his escape route?" ”

"It's very likely that I don't think of you, but I can only look for you." Schiller gently tapped on the coffee table in front of him and said, "Even for our universe, teleportation is not a rotten technology, and it must have all kinds of limitations in this universe. ”

"Maybe Tony in this universe is the anchor point for the murderer's teleportation, and when he wants to use such technology to escape, he can only return to you."

"So he ever touched me? When? The moment Stark asked the question, he thought of the cup of coffee that Natasha had spilled on himself in another universe.

"Coffee shop clerk? Boss? Stark guessed.

He knew that Natasha couldn't have spilled coffee for no reason, and he thought it might be a hint, but he really didn't find any suspicions from the other people in the coffee shop, so he could only list his own suspicions.

"Why can't it be that cup of coffee?" Schiller said.

In an instant, everyone looked at him.

In S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury's secret safe house, Stark takes a wine bottle and two glasses from Nick's hand, both in a transparent evidence bag.

"Tony, it's not that I want to put pressure on you, but now the situation is not optimistic, the FBI is already planning to cooperate with the military, and they want you to go to jail."

"They can't do it." Stark walked back to the bench, put on his gloves and began to prepare for the analysis, and said, "Help me hold them back for ten hours, and I'll give you an accurate result." ”

Nick's gaze stayed on the blue pattern on Stark's neck, and Stark said without looking back, "I won't seek death until I avenge Rhodes, and now leave my lab, I don't need anyone to be an eyesore here." ”

Nick took one last look at him, turned and walked out of the lab, leaving Stark alone in the safe room.

He was constantly busy with various analytical equipment, examining the remaining liquids in bottles and glasses, analyzing the material composition of containers, and speculations flashed through his genius's brain.

Three hours passed, and everything that could be checked was checked, and no toxic ingredients were detected in anything.

Stark didn't show any decadence or confusion, he stood quietly in front of the test bench staring at a pile of test reports, obviously his universe-leading genius brain was racing under pressure.

Suddenly Stark paused, and he whispered, "It's not poison, it's not chemical poison!" It's not chemistry at all, it's physics, it's physics......"

He jerked around to get the phone, but in an instant, a hand grabbed his wrist.

Stark looked up in disbelief as the suit he had placed in the corner of the room was standing straight in front of him, and a hand reached out and grabbed his wrist.

A pair of eyes lit up in the visor.

"Bang!"

Stark was thrown out, his forehead hit the wall in the corner, and his head was bleeding, and he groaned in pain and shouted, "Jarvis...... Jarvis! Jarvis, are you there? Why don't you answer me? No...... It couldn't be ......."

Meanwhile, Natasha and Coulson, who were driving to Dr. Banner's BjΓΆrt High Energy Physics Laboratory, suddenly heard a voice in their car.

"Hello, I'm Jarvis, Tony Stark's artificial intelligence butler, about three minutes ago, the Warframe system with the number 1025 suddenly lost contact, and it was detected that its location was ......"

Hearing Jarvis suddenly announce the address of Nick's safe house, Natasha braked suddenly, and Coulson next to him screamed in pain from his seat belt.

The female agent immediately turned the head of the car, stepped on the accelerator, and drove towards the safe house at top speed, while picking up her mobile phone and dialing and saying to the other side: "Nick, Tony has an accident!" Come on! Someone hacked into his armor, he could be in danger! ”

Natasha arrives faster than Nick, but when she arrives at the door, she finds that the safe house has activated emergency defenses, and she can't get in at all, but fortunately Nick follows and takes out the physical key to break the security lock of the door, and the agents rush in.

Natasha stretched out her hand to Nick, and Nick handed the hammer to her, and Natasha rushed in with the hammer, and as soon as she rushed to the door, she saw Iron Man's armor grabbing Tony Stark's neck and lifting him.

Stark struggled desperately, constantly breaking the iron fingers of his armor with his hand, and his legs curled up and lowered weakly.

Natasha holds Thor's hammer aloft.

"Click!"

A bolt of lightning scorched both the mech and Stark, and Nick behind Natasha cursed and rushed in with the agents, carrying the half-dead Stark onto a stretcher.

Natasha didn't mean to stop at all, she walked out quickly with a hammer, and at the same time called Coulson and said, "I see what trick the murderer is playing, go to the high-energy physics laboratory!" ”

This time Coulson sat in the driver's seat, and he was just about to step on the accelerator, Natasha said coldly: "It's too late." ”

"The murderer has the ability to teleport." Natasha grabbed the hammer and said, "He's playing with us, we go to protect one, he kills the other, and when we rush back to protect this one, he teleports away and kills the original target." ”

"So what are we going to do?"

"We teleport too."

"But how can we ......?"

Under Coulson's shocked gaze, Natasha raised Thor's hammer with both hands and slammed it on the car.

In the next second, the power of thunder carried the car staggering and flew up, turning into a point of light and disappearing into the New York skyline.
