Chapter 41: The Temptation of the Devil

"I do magic, but I'm not a god!"

Landau reluctantly stretched his hands to Peter, who came to the door, and continued: "And I made it very clear that Doom's magic has surpassed me, and I have a lot of magic that I can't touch, but he can." ”

"So, what the hell is going on with Mr. Stark?"

"It's not my business, you have to ask the psychiatrist, what PTSD, what depression a whole bunch of things, I don't understand these things."

Then Landau watched as Potts, Peter, and Otto took you on with you, and I looked at myself as I listened.

Landau rubbed his face and whispered, "Well, Tony thinks that Connors's misfortune is half to his credit, and if Tony can stick to the guidelines I told him, then Connors won't..."

Otto wondered, "What happened to Connors?" Didn't you tell me that he was working hard to get back into human society? ”

Landau looked at Peter awkwardly, and Peter looked to the side, not intending to do Landau a favor.

"He's in a bad condition, and only God can save him now."

Obviously, Otto didn't understand what Landau meant, "You know magic, and there shouldn't be any difficulty in getting you." ”

"Don't always do magic, magic, I know that magic is like anything for ordinary people, but not everything in this world can be solved with magic. But could God create a stone that he could not move? ”

A thunderbolt swept through the clear sky, and Landau immediately covered his mouth and did not complain.

Potts didn't understand why a scientist he had never met before depressed Tony, and asked Landau, "Is there any other relationship between them?" ”

Putting down his hand, Landau's voice sounded in Potts's head, "It's not the kind of relationship you think, Tony just can't face himself, because of his wanton behavior, he personally caused a kind person to never go to heaven." ”

"It is necessary to make it clear that it is really impossible to go to heaven."

"What a troublemaker." Potts turned and left, and Otto and Peter had to follow.

Tony, who had turned into a troublemaker, was drinking wine and pondering the formulas and protocols that Connors had left behind.

Although there is no big problem at each step, there are even some places that can be called cutting-edge technology, such as some details of genetic engineering, how to locate and modify.

The fact of blood tells Tony that there is definitely something wrong with the company and the experimental procedures that Connors left behind, and there is something big wrong.

"What's the problem?"

Tony finished his drink and stood up in confusion, and suddenly saw Mark II waving in the cupboard.

Walking up to Mark II, Connors's voice briefly appeared, and Tony seemed to hear Connors calling for a moment.

"Tony! Help me! Tony, do something! ”

"Tony!" Potts barged into the lab and snatched Tony's glass from his hand, "Don't be decadent, you're the only president of Stark Industries now!" ”

"I know, I know."

Tony clutched his head and struggled towards the counter, "I should save Dr. Connors and bring him back from hell." ”

Fortunately, Tony didn't take a few steps before he fainted, otherwise there was no way to stop Potts' small body.

Tony, who woke up, looked around suspiciously, where incense and candles were all over his room, and someone was standing at the head of his bed praying to God.

"Who are you?"

The praying monk did not care about it, but recited the prayer wholeheartedly.

"Potts!" Tony struggled to sit up from the bed, feeling weak, and exclaimed, "Jarvis! ”

"Mr. Stark, I've always been there."

Fortunately, Jarvis's voice sounded, otherwise Tony would have thought he had been kidnapped.

Tony's lips opened slightly, and he was about to ask what was going on, when Potts pushed open the door and walked down the hallway to Tony's side, explaining, "This is the priest I invited from Trinity Church in New York, and you were in a state of bewilderment." ”

Tony waved his hand to summon the Holy Light, but found that there was no reaction at all, and said impatiently, "Let them go, I don't need these people." ”

"Tony, just wait a moment and follow the priest's instructions."

Surveying his room, looking at Potts beside him, and not feeling Monday's presence, Tony closed his eyes.

Opening his eyes again, Tony looked at the priest who refused to leave, and Potts, who was affectionate beside him, and sneered and said, "Now the demon, that's all he can do?" ”

"What are you talking about?"

Potts stepped aside, took the Bible from the priest's hand, handed it to Tony, and said, "Look, this is the Bible, you just need to read it according to the words." ”

Tony simply closed his eyes and said, "It seems that Connors was also blinded by the illusion you created. ”

"Magic that strikes my heart or dream is magical, but as long as I realize that this is my dream or my heart, then you are just falling into your own net."

With that, the ceiling above Tony's head was suddenly revealed, and a stream of holy light trapped Potts and the priest.

Outside, Tony Stark held the room in his hand, looked at the pocket model in his palm, smiled and said, "It seems that the people of hell have indeed come to the door." ”

In the cage of the Holy Light, the figures of the priest and Potts disappeared, and Tony immediately realized that these two people were illusions of the demon, and the fire that had been burning in the room was the true body of the demon.

The flaming flames coalesced into a mass of sparks, nimbly weaving through the Light, "Dear Tony, we'll see you later!" ”

Knowing that the demon had fled, Tony woke up from his coma, glanced around, and felt the power and Monday in his body.

"Tony! You're awake! ”

Potts by the window immediately pounced on Tony, hugging Tony's head and crying in surprise.

Landau shook the jar in his hand and stepped forward to explain, "I told you on the first day that you will definitely face the temptation of hell. ”

"It seems that they are smarter and more tolerant than you think, and instead of choosing Potts or continuing to play on Obadiah, they are using Dr. Connors."

"But it's not Connors' fault, souls without physical lodging are too easy to be manipulated by demons."

Tony whispered a few words of relief in Potts' ear, and Potts looked up to confirm with him, then got up and left the room.

"Connors's formulas and steps are hell the hell? But I feel that some of the formulas are right and quite visionary. ”

"The question is, do you think Einstein should go to hell or go to heaven after he died?"

"I can't say, he contributed greatly to the progress of mankind, and he was not involved in the Manhattan Project....."

"Okay, so I'll change the subject, do you think Howard Stark should go to heaven or hell."

"Although I don't want to admit it, based on the facts alone, I think it's a little more likely to go to hell."

Landau looked at Tony, who was calmly discussing the whereabouts of the scientist after his death, and laughed, Tony, who was not swayed by emotions and could always look at everything objectively, returned.

"In fact, souls go wherever they go to the underworld, and souls who have made outstanding contributions to humanity are no exception."

"The reason why hell is spurned is all because the devil will trick people into signing a contract, so that the soul of human beings after death belongs to the devil, not everyone can be favored by the devil, only high-quality souls."

Tony looked up at the ceiling and said, "You mean, there are scientific geniuses in Hell who have gone astray, so the formula I see isn't necessarily wrong." ”

"That's true, the devil is not mentally retarded, of course he knows that a fake formula can't fool you, only real data and companies, plus the steps that have been manipulated, can make you devote yourself to it and complete the illusion."

Tony turned his head, looked directly at Landau, and said suspiciously, "My soul is rare?" ”

Landau nodded slowly, whether Tony Stark's soul is rare or not, Landau really can't be sure.

Whether it is the comics or the Tony Stark in the movie, he has flashed the brilliance of humanity, but most of the time he is still a playboy image.

Landau was sure, though, that Mephisto absolutely wanted the power of the Spirit of Vengeance.

Tony looked down at himself, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and said self-deprecatingly, "It's me thinking too much, you told me in the first place that the devil will come to the door along the power of Monday." ”

"Tony, think of Obadiah."

Obadiah was possessed by demons, but demons tend to destroy disorderly, and being able to contact terrorists to kidnap them clearly indicates that there are instructions behind them.

Tony frowned, got out of bed, casually draped over his coat, and sat down in front of the computer to open Obadia's file.

After browsing the file, Tony sighed lightly and said, "Learning a little psychology does have some effect." ”

"Neither Obadiah now nor Obadiah was him anymore, is he?"

Landau clasped his hands around and stood behind Tony's chair, explaining, "No way, his soul is too corrupted, and if it weren't for the support of the Holy Light's faith, he would have died long ago." ”

Tony casually summoned the light to fill the room, turned his chair to face Landau, and said, "I remember you told me that both other dimensions and dark creatures have been forced to sign an agreement, and the earth is guarded. ”

Lan Dao took out a hand and scraped his nose, and explained embarrassedly: "He has been guarding for too long, and he is looking for a disciple recently, and he doesn't want to do it anymore." ”

"It may have something to do with me."

Tony stood up, imposing, staring at Landau.

Landau didn't need Tony to speak, he knew what he wanted to ask, raised his hand to signal Tony not to speak, and directly singled out: "You are my disciple, so you will not be accepted by him." ”

"It's incredible that there is such an ancient custom among magicians."

"Is there such a possibility, it is purely a personal vendetta, and there is no other reason."

Tony looked at Landau for a moment, his momentum collapsed suddenly, and he said helplessly: "It's okay, I can accept it." I'd better face the temptation of the devil with peace of mind. ”

"However, it is not completely impossible to ......."
