Chapter 20: Tony in Vain

"Ahh Tony Stark wakes up from his nightmare again.

"Damn! I've been on sleeping pills! ”

Annoyed, Tony got up from the bed, picked up the cup of water at the bedside, and poured a glass of ice water into his stomach.

When he sobered up, he put on his pajamas and went straight downstairs to the lab.

"Jarvis, look it up for me, is there a mutant whose abilities are consistent with nightmares?"

"The information search is expected to take one hour and twenty-three minutes."

Tony went to the fridge to get a bottle of beer, lay on the couch, sipping slowly without a sip, his face gloomy and his eyes twinkling.

He suspects that the nightmares he has been having come from the abilities of a mutant, and his purpose may be for money, or he may want to change the mutant's situation through his social status, etc.

"Nice way!" He muttered, "But you're looking for the wrong person!" ”

He tossed the bottle away, got up and began to look it up.

Thanks to his identity, he can see a lot of classified materials and information, and even if it is not available to him, he can steal it through Jarvis.

Soon, he got his hands on a lot of public research on mutants.

As for those things that can't be made public, or even can't be mentioned, they are not connected to the Internet at all, and no matter how high his technical level is, no matter how strong the supercomputing speed is, it is useless.

His genius brain began to work at high speed, flipping through the materials at a glance, quickly digesting and absorbing the research on mutants inside.

"The information search is complete, and no mutant information with matching abilities has been found. The scope of the search covers all publicly available information, as well as some databases of governments, military, scientific research institutions, and group companies. However, it cannot be ruled out that there is a possibility that mutant information exists outside of this part of the database. ”

"I see, it doesn't matter anymore." Tony pushed away the material in front of him, "Jarvis, I need something. ”

He began to dictate a bunch of materials for Jarvis to place the order.

After a few seconds, Jarvis replied: "Order completed, estimated delivery time, seven days." ”

"It's too slow, I'll have it before I go to bed tomorrow night!"

"Okay, three times the price has been paid, and everything will be delivered by nineteen p.m. tomorrow."

Jarvis is now very intelligent, completely accustomed to his master's style of smashing people with money.

"Good." Tony nodded in satisfaction, took out a pen and paper, and began to design the structure of the object.

He's going to create a room where he can isolate the mutants' abilities and get rid of the mutant abilities that affect him through nightmares.

After he solves his own problems, he will take time to let the mutant in the martial arts hall taste it, the money is amazing!

In front of himself, a big capitalist, what are you pretending to be, and what do you say, "For the martial god, money is meaningless." ”

After the special team caught him, Tony wanted to see if he could still maintain that kind of calm and breezy pretending style!

Tony, who is engaged in scientific research, is very energetic, and he was busy until dawn, and when Pepper came, he didn't notice it.

"Hey, Tony, didn't you sleep last night? What are you doing? ”

"Wow, don't worry about me, Pepper, I'm going to get a good night's sleep tonight when I'm done assembling this thing, the kind that I won't sleep until noon tomorrow." Tony hugged Pepper and said with a hippie smile.

Pepper shook his head helplessly and dissuaded: "Tony, you have to pay attention to your health problems, you are in your thirties this year, I don't want to see you die young." ”

"I've got regular check-ups, Pepper, and I'm in good health." "Don't worry about me, I'm just a little sleep-deprived lately, and everything will be back to normal soon, I promise." ”

Tony used some sweet words to make Pepper smile.

After Pepper left, Tony double-checked his design again, and then asked Jarvis to review it, and found no fallacies, before putting away the blueprints and waiting for the materials to arrive and assemble them.

If it was already bright today, he was very sleepy, so he ate some burgers casually and went back to the bedroom to sleep.

By the time he woke up from his nightmare again, it had darkened.

"Damn! This nightmare has become more frequent lately, and it must be resolved today. ”

He looked up and asked, "Jarvis, where is the goods?" ”

"Some of them have already been delivered and are being placed in the underground storage area. The remainder is on its way and is expected to be delivered within two hours. Do I need to bring the goods I already have to the lab? ”

"Send it over first, I'm going to assemble it now."

Tony couldn't wait for a moment now, he couldn't wait for a good night's sleep.

He was one of the top engineers in the world, and he was able to make the first steel armor out of a cave with just a bunch of broken tools, and now it was not difficult to assemble a device that isolated mutants' abilities.

As the materials arrived, he assembled them faster and faster, and finally, three hours later, a bunch of boxes of the size of a stereo were assembled.

He carefully adjusted it, measured it with a precision instrument, and finally became convinced that this thing could effectively isolate mutants' superpowers from spreading through the air.

"Great, I can finally get a good night's sleep tonight!" Tony straightened up, moved his tired muscles, and clapped his hands triumphantly as he looked at the masterpiece he had taken nearly a day to make.

He transported them to the bedroom on a cart, installed them in various calculated locations, tested them again, and worked perfectly.

He then lay back in bed with peace of mind, ready to enjoy the good sleep he had not seen in a long time.

A few hours later, Tony Stark woke up from his nightmare again.

"Ahh Why is it not working? Tony got out of bed and tested the device, but it was still working fine without any glitches.

He took out the design drawings again and double-checked them several times, but still didn't find any problems with the design.

He went back to the lab and took out the relevant materials again, and looked through them carefully to see if there were any key data or information that he had overlooked.

But unfortunately, after tossing all night, he still didn't find out what went wrong.

The sun was rising, pouring warm sunlight through the villa's large floor-to-ceiling windows, onto Tony, who was sitting on the couch.

It took a long time for Tony to let out a breath and his eyes resurfaced.

"Eliminate all impossibilities, and what remains, no matter how unbelievable, must be the truth. That guy isn't a mutant, he's an alien. ”
