Chapter 1061 Shocking the Ordinary People (38)

As the lights came back on, Steve's movements began to rewind. He kept retreating back to the door of Stark Tower. Before he entered, he looked up. Gaze through the glass curtain wall of Stark Tower and enter Stark's laboratory.

In the laboratory, Jarvis manipulated the robot's body and replaced his arm with a strange electric shock device.

Stark, who was lying on the experimental table, seemed a little silent. There was only the sound of "sizzling" electricity in the laboratory. It seemed that this place was less like a science center and more like a prison full of torture instruments.

Suddenly, a portal appeared in the laboratory, and Loki and Strange walked out of it together.

"You came just in time..." Stark said, but Loki looked a little shocked. He looked at Stark and asked: "Do you have to commit suicide to find death?"

Stark, who was lying on the experimental table, nodded and seemed confident, showing no intention of wavering.

Stark turned to look at Strange. Strange looked at Loki and said, "Look, I've said it all. My words have been worn out in the past two days, but I just can't persuade him!"

After saying that, he stepped away from the experimental table a little anxiously, and then said: "Let me just say, he and Schiller are both madmen. What is the reason why you have to commit suicide?!"

Loki, who had just received the news, frowned at Stark and began to figure out his psychology. He thought much more deeply than Strange, so he also had a certain understanding of Stark's motives. understand.

A few days ago, Stark found Strange, hoping that Strange could help him complete the next plan. But the first step of the plan surprised Strange. Stark wanted to Find death by committing suicide.

Of course, Stark does not have to use such extreme means to find death. Perhaps he can ascend to the universe and search carefully to find traces of death.

But on the one hand it is. He must make a decisive decision and complete this matter as soon as possible, otherwise, it is impossible to hide it from Steve or Professor It's not just the Stark Group.

The fastest way is to die directly. From his daily exchanges with Schiller, Stark can also understand that the goddess of death is not completely fair. Special souls will receive special guidance and attention. He believes that , as long as you die, you will definitely see the goddess of death.

On the other hand, Stark and Schiller can be said to be evenly matched. Schiller does not accept any imperfections due to mental problems, while Stark does not allow any friends to sacrifice for him because of his natural sensitivity and sense of responsibility. .

And once something like this happens, guilt and self-blame will make him sleepless and sleepless, until he has to pay for it with his own injuries and bleeding to make him feel better.

Stark knew that Schiller always committed suicide on the spot every time he went to negotiate terms with the Goddess of Death. He also knew very well that even if Schiller was a mental patient, the pain and fear of death would not be less, that is, Said that Schiller died many times in order to save them and the entire human civilization.

If that's the case, why can't he die once?

He is also the savior of mankind and the most talented genius in the world. Why can't he sacrifice others' sacrifices? Why was it someone else who was sacrificed instead of him? This is Iron Man, he will always think this way, and he will always feel pain from this thought.

During the period of helping Schiller go through withdrawal, Schiller was not the only one who suffered. This group of superheroes and Schiller tortured each other.

Schiller felt sad, and the superheroes who were burdened with dual pressures of morality and friendship were not much better. Stark, who was already mentally unstable, had an anxiety disorder that became more serious.

Various reasons prompted Stark to make such an extreme decision. Moreover, Strange tried to persuade him for several days, but even after all the reasons were explained, Stark could not shake his decision. This time Stark was very firm.

But this does not mean that he will not feel fear when he actually faces death. This is not a time when the life and death line is on the battlefield and the adrenaline has soared to the point where he can no longer feel pain in order to survive. He is just listening to the electric shock equipment. As soon as it started operating, Stark began to feel extremely nervous.

In view of the general environment, this site may be closed at any time. Please move to the permanently operating source app, huanyuanapp, as soon as possible.

In a dark and cramped cave in Afghanistan, at night when he alone controlled the machine to operate on the reactor on his chest, when the first-generation mecha with imperfect safety fell to the ground, Stark gritted his teeth alone and never told anyone. Man, he is actually afraid of both the dark and pain.

Schiller is playing Schiller, Stark is playing Iron Man, and Steve is playing Captain America. Everyone can see each other's abnormalities, but they all act as if they are unaware of them. Puncture yourself.

Stark sighed, looked at Strange and Loki, and said, "If you regard me as a friend, you should support my decision at this time..."

Strange put away the straps in his hands, frowned and said, "I've said it before, and I've tried to persuade it, and my words have been worn out in the past few days, but you just don't listen, and you must commit suicide. What can we do?"

"I've said it before, I'm not committing suicide!" Stark emphasized again: "I'm going to find the goddess of death and get back the price Schiller paid. This matter has to be resolved, right?"

Stark curled up his legs and put his arms on his knees and said: "Schiller paid a huge price in exchange for Howard and Maria. I can't simply tell him that what you did is wrong, so cancel the transaction immediately. Lose."

"That's unfair to him!" Stark looked into Strange's eyes and said, "During the process of seeking treatment from Schiller, I expressed too much nostalgia for my parents, which resulted in , He thinks that I have not been able to accept the death of my parents, so I took such extreme measures and paid a huge price to get them back."

"So, it's impossible for me to find him now and say, 'You're a psycho. I didn't mean to do this at all. It's all your own fault. I didn't ask you to hurt yourself to help me, so cancel the deal immediately'!"

"To say the least, as a friend, I didn't realize that he had some extreme psychology and abnormal mental state. It's also my problem, and I must take responsibility."

Stark sighed slightly and said, "Besides, if I ask Schiller to cancel the deal, then Howard and Maria may die again. Facing the fear of death, once is enough."

"What about you?" Strange couldn't help but said: "You said that facing the fear of death once is enough, then what are you doing now? That trip to Afghanistan where you had a near-death experience, you haven't yet Do you understand how terrible death is?"

Loki, the most proficient in psychology among the three, crossed his arms and looked into Stark's eyes and said: "Although you think this is a rational decision, I want to tell you, you haven't noticed that you have been self-destructing." Inclination?"

"You always blame yourself for all the blame in the world, for your failure to realize the full potential of your genius brain. Schiller drove himself to self-harm, and you also drive yourself to suicide. You are the same." ”

Stark sat there, lowering his head in silence. After dozens of seconds, he spoke: "It should be said that you, me, Stephen and Schiller, the four of us are carved from the same mold. No one can be the same." Say who."

"You, Loki Odinson, an Asgardian who is not an Odinson or even an Asgardian, must seek a perfect way out for Asgard and do not allow any loss or sacrifice, even for this goal. , be ready to sacrifice yourself at any time.”

"And you, Stephen Strange, never allow yourself to make mistakes, never leave yourself any escape route, and even with an artifact like the Time Stone, you are not willing to give yourself a second chance for surgery."

Stark took a deep breath and said: "We are all constantly pushing ourselves and will never accept any imperfections. We deserve all the pain we get for this."

The three people in the room fell silent. Loki, who was good at sophistry, and Strange, who was always tough-tongued, could not find any more reasons to refute Stark at this time, because they all knew in their hearts that in Glory, In the League and even in the entire superhero circle, the four people mentioned by Stark are the most similar.

Wise, calculating, patient, perseverant, greedy, and arrogant, he has been pursuing the endless road of perfection, and will eventually embark on a road of self-destruction.

Strange sighed and decided to talk about some practical issues, so he said: "I have to remind you that the fear of death is on the one hand, and on the other hand, this will definitely hurt..."

"Even if you don't know any medical knowledge, as long as you think about it with your brain, you should know that stopping the heart caused by electric current breaking down will cause unparalleled pain. Do you still remember the pain you felt when you underwent neurointerventional surgery? ? It will only be worse than him, not to mention, you are facing death!"

"Facing death..." Stark murmured in a low voice, then closed his eyes. His body gradually began to tremble. Before Strange could ask Stark, he gritted his teeth and said, "I feel A bit cold..."

Strange was about to retort, but it was obvious that this was not a tremor caused by a drop in body temperature, but a twitching of the limbs caused by extreme tension and anxiety.

But Stark did not look at him, but looked at Jarvis. Feeling Stark's gaze, Jarvis said: "Sir, let me get you some clothes."

After Jarvis turned around and left, Stark lay back on the bed weakly, with tears beginning to accumulate in his eyes, just like a father who was full of pain but refused to show weakness in front of his children.

Loki sighed, looked out the window, and said, "Thor often teaches me to learn to accept bloodshed and sacrifice."

"But the fact is that the most courageous thing in this world is to calmly accept the sacrifices of the people you love on the way to achieving your goals, and then to muster the courage to go on the road again."

"Guilt is a good knife. Those who are pierced into the heart by this knife and can still move forward are the most fearless warriors in the world."

Loki closed his eyes, sighed and said:

"The only thing I admit that Thor is stronger than me is that he is able to bear the sacrifice and death of countless comrades, but still not be defeated by guilt and sorrow, and bravely and fearlessly rush forward, always moving forward."

Loki's tone was unexpectedly calm. This little prince who never seemed to bow his head was so arrogant that he would never say such words in front of someone like Thor.

"When we face Ragnarok, I am not afraid to be the first sacrifice like Thor, but that does not prove that I am braver than him, because Asgardians are never afraid of death."

Loki closed his eyes, and his expression was not as depressed as when he talked about this topic in the past, but calm and distant.

If there were Asgardians here at this time, he would be surprised at what could make the God of Trickster, from his tone, reveal the same loyalty and determination as every Asgardian.

"Asgardians, I hope they have a father of the gods who is brave enough to charge ahead and sacrifice."

"And I only respect the god who has the courage to die last as the new king of Asgard."
