I am directing big events in American comics

Chapter 136 Clown: Let me start with that little girl!
In a secret hospital.

Tony Stark's body lay on the hospital bed, covered with a white shroud, with a dent in his chest.

His heart, the source of the fire, was taken away by the Joker.

Two people were sitting in the ward.

One is Lorraine, but the other is something that no one expected.

Mark [-].

Even when all his time was occupied by the election, Tony upgraded his Iron Suit to the Mark IX.

It's a pity that the quick dressing function is still imperfect, so that it cannot respond quickly to emergencies.

This is how Tony died.

At this time, Mark No. [-] put his hands on his chin, extremely worried.

"The Joker's behavior has no bottom line. His acquisition of the source of fire is a disaster for all mankind."

His tone of voice was the same as Tony's.

In other words, he is Tony.

After obtaining the source of fire, Tony made great progress in artificial intelligence. He even backed up a copy of his own consciousness and converted it into artificial intelligence.

Now this consciousness is controlling this suit.

Lorraine looked out of the window and seemed to be able to see Gotham rising slowly.

Gotham is not far from New York.

"The clown's plot is by no means as simple as a city."

Lorraine said softly, "Gotham is just the starting point, not the end. Chaos is the easiest thing to spread."

As long as Gotham exists, New York will eventually become the second Gotham.

"Then what do we do now?"

The artificial intelligence Tony said seriously, "Now that Steve is missing and I am dead, our combat power will become less and less, and each one will be defeated one by one."

Steve had indeed disappeared, the day Tony died.

When Paige came back and found that Steve was not at home, she immediately realized that something big had happened, but even though she notified Lorraine as quickly as possible, it was still a step too late.

According to Tony's later recollection, the clown's figure bore no resemblance to Steve.

Not Steve himself.

So, until now, Steve's whereabouts are still unknown.

Faced with Tony's questions, Lorraine couldn't give an answer.

He shook his head and said, "I don't know, but at least I'll resurrect you first."

"You can still revive me?!"

Because the artificial intelligence Tony was so excited, Mark [-] almost short-circuited.

He glanced at himself lying on the bed, his body completely stiff. No matter how he looked, he couldn't be more dead.

Can this be resurrected?

So what is the difference between Lorraine's ability and God's?
Lorraine couldn't help but glance at Mark Nine, thinking why are you so excited.

Do you think that being resurrected all the time is a good thing?

Lorraine has long said that having the ability to resurrect will only make your life less and less valuable.

This resurrection is for the next death.

He could even imagine that his next meeting with Tony's corpse wouldn't be too far away.

"Don't you realize that the clown is afraid of you?"

Lorraine recalled what the Joker had said to Tony, "If he just wanted the source of the fire, he could take it away silently in your sleep.

"But he chose to communicate with you and finally denied the value of your efforts. Why did he do this?
"This means you did the right thing, Mr. Stark!"

These words completely convinced the artificial intelligence Tony.

He murmured to himself: "I knew I was right, but I didn't expect it to be like this. Even the clown is afraid of my influence in the future?"

Lorraine didn't answer.

He is just an artificial retard, and his thinking ability has not yet reached the level of human beings.

You have to wait until Ultron appears to reach the extreme.

Lorraine is looking at this artificial intelligence now. No matter how he looks at it, he feels that he is looking at the prototype of Ultron.

Tony, this guy, has the potential to become a big boss no matter what he studies.

"The more the enemy opposes, the more it means you are doing the right thing."

Lorraine casually said Shabak's line, "So, we still need Mr. Stark now, he can't die yet."

Mark [-] nodded: "Then what are you going to do? To be honest, even if I searched all the databases that can be queried today, I can't find any feasible method of resurrection."

It seems, Lorraine thought, that you can't access the Tahiti Plan.

In fact, there are many ways to resurrect the dead in the Marvel world. Basically every hero has several resurrection experiences.

"Of course I have a way, but I can't use it here."

Lorraine looked at Tony's body and said, "Take Mr. Stark to the Holy of Holies, where it will at least be safer.

"Because he's coming."

……

In the Holy of Holies, Tony's body has been moved here.

Just when Lorraine was about to start, there was a knock on the door outside the Holy of Holies.

The sound was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears accurately.

coming.

Lorraine stood up, walked to the room, and stopped Pietro who was about to open the door.

"No need to open the door, let him come in by himself."

Lorraine stood on the second floor, holding on to the railing, waiting quietly.

The door opened.

A man in a rumpled purple suit, hair dyed green, and clown makeup on his face walked in.

clown.

Feeling confident, he came to the Holy of Holies himself.

Seeing the true face of the visitor, Pietro finally understood why Lorraine didn't let him open the door.

Totally to save his own life!
He ran back to his room so fast that he even left an afterimage on the spot.

Never cause any trouble to Mr. Lorraine!

Others in the Holy of Holies also received advance notice from Lorraine and were staying quietly in their rooms at this time.

The moment the clown entered, the door to the Holy of Holies slammed shut.

Lorraine waved his hand, and a magical wind blew through, dispersing all the invisible matter around the clown.

"Please don't spread some strange things here. After all, I'm just looking after someone else's house."

The clown is simply a walking source of viruses, spreading viruses that can drive people crazy everywhere.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Lorraine."

The clown saluted in the hall, and Lorraine looked down at him from the second floor.

dong dong dong-

Mark Nine stepped on heavy steps and stood beside Lorraine.

Tony's voice came out: "Mr. Clown, I have met so many people in my life, but you are the only one who really took away my heart."

"Stark, it turns out you're not dead yet."

The clown stepped on the stairs to the second floor, "Your suit is good. If you could wear it at that time, you might give me a little trouble."

Step by step, he strolled leisurely, as if he had taken control of the situation, and came to Lorraine.

"This is not a place to talk, come with me."

Lorraine said calmly and took the clown to the reception room.

He sat down without any thought of playing charades with the clown.

"Let's get straight to the point and tell you why you're here. What do you want to do?"

"Of course I want to meet you, the descendant of the Eternal Parliament."

The Joker looked around at the furnishings in the room, "I thought that getting rid of Rogers and Stark would completely relieve my worries, but the more information I got, the more I realized that was not the case.

"You gave Rogers the potion, and you gave Stark his heart. You are the key man hiding behind them!

"Now, you seem to have some interesting ideas. I can't just watch you do these things that give me a headache!"

The Joker's hostility is already obvious.

The Mark No. [-] visual light flashed a few times, and Tony sneered and said: "You are so courageous. Do you think you alone can be the opponent of the two of us? We can tear you apart right now!"

"Then please do it."

The clown didn't react at all. Instead, he opened his arms and said softly, "Go ahead, slit my throat, take out my heart, and destroy my soul, just like I did to you!"

Tony was about to reply, "Do you think I dare not?"

Lorraine suddenly pulled Mark [-], his eyes showed a trace of confusion, and he asked a strange question.

"Whose soul have you destroyed?"

What the clown said just now made Lorraine a little confused.

'Just like I did to you' means that the clown has done it before.

Slitting the throat means Peggy, pulling out the heart means Tony.

Who is that soul-destroying person talking about?
Steve?
"Hehehe!" The clown smiled mysteriously, "You can guess for yourself!" "Forget it, I'm too lazy to guess."

Lorraine turned to Mark Nine and said, "Don't fight him, this guy is just a clown."

He placed the accent on 'a'.

The Joker once said that he is nobody and is everybody.

Ever since he came into this world, there has been more than one clown in the world.

The clown who stood in front of Tony before was not Steve.

Just an ordinary person.

The Laughter Virus can transform everyone into a clown and his clone.

This is also the clown's courage to come to the Holy of Holies.

There's no point in killing a Joker doppelganger.

After Lorraine finished explaining to Tony, Mark Nine hung his head slumped.

If this is the case, wouldn't it mean that the Joker can never be killed and he can only continue to run wild in this world?
"Clap clap clap."

The clown applauded and said exaggeratedly, "As expected of a descendant of the Eternal Parliament, he guessed the truth based on two or three clues."

"It's okay, after all, Shabak has already demonstrated similar abilities."

Lorraine shrugged and said, "So what do you want to do when you come to the Holy of Holies? Kill me? With all due respect, I'm afraid you can't do it yet."

"I didn't want to kill you, but you are too much of an eyesore!"

The clown laughed maniacally and uttered his warning, "Stop all your actions now, or I will take the lives of everyone you love! Remember, the clown does what he says."

"Take away everyone I love?"

Lorraine said calmly to the clown, "I love you!"

clown:?
This sudden hand made the clown stop laughing.

After a while, he laughed even more arrogantly.

"Interesting, Mr. Lorraine, you are so interesting!"

The clown looked in one direction, as if he wanted to see through the wall, "There are many people gathered around you. They see you as their hope, but they never imagined that they would die because of you!

"If you continue to try to resurrect Tony Stark, I'll start with that little girl!"

What he was looking at was the direction of Wanda's room.

As soon as these words came out, Lorraine's expression changed.

"You mean, you want to start with Wanda first?"

Lorraine didn't know what expression to make for a moment.

When the clown saw that Lorraine was finally no longer calm, he knew that he had caught his weak spot.

"Or maybe start with that little boy!"

Pietro, Wanda's brother.

Lorraine couldn't help but think that Pietro's death in the movie seemed to have officially activated Wanda's power.

"And all your friends, none of them can escape!"

my friend……

Lorraine couldn't help but think, who is the clown referring to, Banner who has countless Hulks, Thor who has Asgard on his back, or Peter who can connect to countless parallel worlds?

Forget it.

Lorraine sighed, he really didn't want to continue watching the clown's poor performance.

It also saved him from saying something unbearable, which made Lorraine unable to help laughing in the end.

"I'll just say it straight, Mr. Clown."

Lorraine said lightly, "The task you gave this clone should not be so detailed. He only knows that he came to the Holy Sanctuary to delay time, right?"

Mark Nine suddenly raised his head.

procrastinating?

What do you mean?
Lorraine continued: "Say something that looks exaggerated but is actually embarrassing and makes people laugh. It cannot be considered a wonderful performance. Mr. Clown, your artistic level should be more than this, right?"

The clown suddenly stopped smiling. He looked at Lorraine and twitched the corners of his mouth.

"I underestimate you."

Lorraine stood up and approached the clown step by step.

The clown remained motionless and did not make any reaction. He seemed to be shocked by Lorraine's actions.

It seemed that no one taught him what to do next, so he was stuck for a while.

Lorraine stretched out her hand and touched the clown's face.

The white paint was easily wiped away, revealing half of an ordinary person's face.

Then Lorraine touched the back of his head and took out a miniature earphone. The earphone had no sound at this time, but it had maintained the call status before.

And on this man's chest, Lorraine found another pinhole camera.

Lorraine sighed: "I'm sorry, I made a mistake just now, you are not even the clown's clone,"

This is what clowns do.

Disguise real ones.

In other words, he likes to destroy the enemy from the psychological defense line.

If Lorraine guessed correctly, the clown should have done some psychological analysis on himself and felt that he was a lawful and kind person who was willing to sacrifice his life to protect others. He was confident in his own strength and maintained dignity in his identity.

The Joker wants to destroy these.

He knew that Lorraine might not be his opponent in a head-to-head confrontation, so he first sent an ordinary person to scare him. As long as he made the slightest move out of control, whether it was fear, anger, or compromise, Lorraine's appearance would be photographed.

The descendants of the dignified Eternal Council were frightened by ordinary people.

And that ordinary person just dressed up as a clown.

How effective would you say this can be?This is really not necessarily the case.

But he can always plant a small seed in Lorraine's heart, and what the clown is best at is making the seeds in other people's hearts germinate.

Artificial intelligence Tony is now in a state of extreme chagrin.

The clown played with technology in front of him and successfully deceived him?

Why didn't I just scan the clown out of habit?
Is it because...

Tony couldn't help but think of a terrifying possibility.

The clown has left a psychological shadow on him? !
"Come on Tony, it was just a mistake."

Lorraine said to Mark Nine that he had already seen that the Joker had successfully planted a seed in Tony's heart.

But luckily this is just an artificial intelligence, not the real Tony.

His level of thinking was not as high as Tony's.

The smarter the person, the easier it is to be influenced by clowns, but the stupider the person, the easier it is to be incited by clowns.

Only artificial intelligence Tony, an existence that happens to be somewhere in between, is the easiest to escape from the clown's shadow.

Lorraine couldn't help but think: "Tony, when you are resurrected next time, you have to upgrade your artificial intelligence. As it is now, the future Ultron will probably be inherently deficient."

Ignoring this, Lorraine looked at the man disguised as a clown.

At this time, he was already trembling with fear and was no longer as confident as before.

This is just an ordinary person.

Lorraine held his shoulders and said softly: "Don't be afraid, you still have a chance to make meritorious deeds. Tell me, how did you know the clown?"

The man trembled and said, "I don't know the clown. I was just an ordinary actor! The clown caught my family and asked me to come and act in a play. After the performance, he let them go!"

"Then you are doomed to be disappointed."

Lorraine shook his head and said, "The clown is not so kind. As long as you still have fun, he will not let you go."

Doing things for the Joker and expecting a good ending, do you think you are Harley Quinn?

"Inform Mr. Fury and ask him to take this man away."

Lorraine is too lazy to argue with this actor. He is also a poor person. I believe SHIELD will comfort him.

Nick Fury has been having a hard time recently. He has to rack his brains to explain to the president where the Joker came from and why he has an iron army.

He blamed all the reasons on the Shadow Council.

I have to say, he was really right.

But the president was obviously not satisfied with such remarks and asked Nick Fury to say something more specific and provide corresponding evidence.

It's almost as if Fury had to go to the Shadow Council himself.

Now Lorraine sent him a fake clown, which gave him something to do.

After solving the little trouble with the Joker, Lorraine couldn't help but laugh and said: "The Joker, you really don't know what his brain circuit is like and what he wants to do. In the process of fighting with him, you just Being able to show off one's tactics at the drop of a hat makes him seem very passive."

Mark Nine nodded in agreement, he felt deeply about this.

"Stop talking, let's continue with what we were doing before and resurrect Mr. Stark."

"What are you going to do?"

One man and one armor were walking in the corridor, and the artificial intelligence Tony was very interested in the methods Lorraine was about to show.

"The last time Mr. Stark was on the verge of death, I wanted him to evolve, but in the end I left it open and the evolution was not thorough enough."

Lorraine sighed, "Then this time, let's just do it in one step."

In his hand, a black cube appeared again.

It is completely different from the previous fire source.

This cube is larger and twisting, as if it is alive.
