69. Moron's good helper
With Ji Yuan's continued feeding, Pietro and Wanda gradually became healthier.
His body was no longer so thin, his skin had become radiant, and his eyes were no longer numb, but instead held a hopeful light.
Wanda, in particular, became much more lively, and much of the stubborn darkness left by Sithon was cleared away.
It was nine o'clock at night. Ji Yuan sat on the steps outside the basement door, bathed in moonlight, and flipped through the Book of Vishanti.
Wanda sat not far from him, holding a strawberry cream cake in her hands and eating it bite by bite, her eyes curving like the crescent moon in the sky.
These days, in addition to feeding Wanda, Ji Yuan often gives her extra treats.
Strawberry cake, donuts, chocolate, milkshakes, ice cream, sandwich cookies... she was fed all sorts of sweets, but her favorite was still strawberry cake.
Under the influence of sweets, Wanda's mental state visibly improved, and she became more talkative.
The darkness in his heart had not been completely eradicated. Ji Yuan could only purify a portion of it each day. If he purified too much, it seemed to cause a kind of rebound.
In response, he could only say that Sithon had some tricks up his sleeve, but not enough, and that as time went on, all the tricks he left behind would be eliminated one by one.
Wanda finished the last bite of her strawberry cake, licked the remaining cream from her fingertips, and looked at the moon, saying, "Mr. Ji Yuan, do you think Sokovia can go back to what it was before?"
The moonlight is still the same moonlight, but my hometown has become a ruin. The image of my home in my memory has been gradually forgotten, leaving only the smoke of gunpowder and the flames of war, and the figure of someone who loves to read.
Ji Yuan closed the book of Visanti, shut his eyes, and said, "What has passed is certainly worth remembering, but the future needs to be embraced even more. Sokovia will be liberated soon."
"Wanda, if Sokovia is liberated, where would you most like to go?"
Wanda shook her head and said, "I don't know either. Maybe I'll save up some money, go to New York to see you, and then go see the world."
"Or perhaps they could continue living in Sokovia together."
Although she wasn't as addicted to her phone and the internet as Pietro, she saw many things she had never seen before, and she longed to truly see the world.
Ji Yuan smiled slightly: "Okay, then I'll wait for you to come find me."
After he finished speaking, his breathing became steady, as if he had fallen asleep.
"Mr. Ji Yuan, Mr. Ji Yuan?" Wanda called softly a few times, and when there was no response, she knew that Ji Yuan had fallen asleep again.
She gently moved the stool closer to Ji Yuan, staring intently at him in the moonlight, as if trying to discern something.
Ji Yuan, of course, did not sleep. He once again sensed the cosmic fluctuations, and his consciousness traveled thousands of kilometers to Stark's side.
In a highly secretive underground base, a piercing alarm sounded in a small room.
"Mr. Stark, spatial fluctuations detected. Recording spatial data." Jarvis's voice rang out in the room.
The two people in the room perked up; they had been waiting for so many days, and it had finally arrived.
Stark deftly pulled a syringe filled with green liquid from the drawer: "Captain, it's yours now."
Steve took the syringe and nodded: "Don't worry, I can beat him senseless."
He then picked up the shield and entered the laboratory where Moron's body was placed, waiting quietly.
Stark also donned his armor and stood ready in the room.
At this moment, swiftly traversing the Web of Life was an extremely robust figure, taller and stronger than Moron, with an extremely impatient expression on his face.
"You think you can't even teleport back to your family with a Spider-Man who hasn't even grown up yet? Morlen, you're too weak. Let your uncle Demos show you what a real hunt is." Demos muttered as he walked toward the end of the web of life—the universe that had trapped Morlen.
He walked out of the passage node without any warning. In his perception, there were only two low-level energy sources around Molen, which were really not worth mentioning.
When Demos saw Moron before him, a surge of rage welled up within him, and his crimson eyes were instantly filled with boundless savagery.
What did he see?
He saw Moron lying on the lab table like a dead pig, his limbs dismembered, with not a trace of blood in his wounds.
This is a provocation to the heir family, who have always been the ones who hunt and study their prey; no prey has ever been able to surpass them.
"Provocateurs, you will pay with your lives! I will devour you all, bite by bite!" Demos roared in the laboratory.
At the same time, he also saw a human standing next to the experimental table holding a shield. He casually slapped the top of his head, and everyone in this laboratory was going to die!
Something incredible happened to Demos: the human vanished, disappearing at a speed that even he couldn't react to.
next moment.
Bang! Boom!
A shield bearing the Stars and Stripes slammed into Demos's head with a dull thud, sending him flying and crashing into the laboratory wall.
Steve tapped the shield with his finger and complimented, "Oh, you have a really good head."
Demos heard nothing. He only felt a blur of stars before his eyes. Although the shield hadn't blown his head off, his skull was almost completely shattered, and his brain was nearly disintegrated. The tingling sensation from the rapid repair made him let out a series of painful growls.
A moment later, his mind had fully recovered, and Demos instinctively made a gesture of resistance.
Then, he felt an extreme sense of weakness coming from his body, as if all the energy in his body was being overdrawn. Looking down, he saw a needle inserted into his arm, with traces of residual green liquid inside.
"Wh...when...what...did you?" The extreme weakness left Demos barely able to speak a complete sentence; he could only collapse to the ground like a rag doll, his mind filled with horror: 'What on earth did this human do?'
Stark, who was watching the monitor in the room, almost popped his eyes out. He knew Steve was strong, but this was just too outrageous.
From the appearance of the totem hunter from the heir family to his subjugation, the whole process took only half a minute.
Steve did two things: he swung his shield and he injected himself with a radioactive liquid.
According to comprehensive data analysis, the force Steve exerted when he swung his shield just now was over a hundred tons, and it was clearly not at full power.
Stark made up his mind that until he was absolutely strong enough to defeat Steve, he had to maintain "respect" for him. He didn't want to experience the iron fist of love weighing hundreds of tons.
Upon arriving at the lab, Stark praised, "Captain, you're really something."
Steve shook his head: "It's not that I'm strong, but that the members of this heir family are too weak. They don't observe the environment or formulate tactics. They are not qualified warriors."
Demos, lying on the ground, stared wide-eyed, wanting to say something, but couldn't even open his lips.
"By the way, what kind of research are you going to do with them?" Steve asked curiously.
Stark smiled mysteriously: "Their consciousness is uploaded after they die. I'm going to study it and try adding some virus to it."
Upon hearing this, Demos stared at Stark in disbelief.
