infinite blood sorrow

"What's wrong?" Mo Ao asked casually.

"It's fine." Tony replied casually.

"If you don't tell me, I can guess. Is Mr. Howard urging you to get married again?" Mo Ao teased with a smile.

"..." The corner of Tony's mouth twitched, and his deflated expression became even more deflated, obviously being hit.

"Tell me the truth, are you playing tricks?" In Tony's impression, Mo Ao was the only one who would urge marriage if there was nothing to do. Recently, his parents had obviously become nagging. He suspected that Mo Ao was pushing fire.

"Hey! Don't come here! It has nothing to do with me." Mo Ao quickly denied. "The most I can do to urge you to get married is to instigate Pepper. I can't talk to Mr. Howard. I have a generation gap with them."

"They've obviously gotten worse recently, and you still say you're not playing tricks." Tony didn't believe a word of Mo Ao's words.

"How fresh! How many parents in this world can tolerate a son who is almost 50 years old and still not married?!" Mo Ao responded quite righteously.

"..." Tony was speechless, he glared at Mo Ao, and sat on the side to diverge his thoughts.

Both of them had just finished work, and they both had the idea of ​​resting, and they didn't have much to talk about, so the scene became quiet again.

"...Actually, there is something I wanted to tell you a long time ago." Seemingly unintentional, Tony leaned on the sofa, looked at the ceiling and said to Mo Ao. "But then I was always interrupted by various things, and then...it seemed inappropriate."

"What's the matter?" Mo Ao replied very straightforwardly, as if he didn't hear the complicated emotions contained in Tony's tone.

"About your resurrection." Tony suddenly turned his head and looked over in a leaning posture.

"..." Mo Ao's breath stopped.

"You said that your... sage stones are all made of animal and dragon souls, but in fact... it's more than that." Tony said in a tone that did not cause misunderstanding as much as possible. Said calmly.

"..." And Mo Aoan listened quietly, without replying.

Or, this is called default.

"..." Tony understood Mo Ao's reaction, so he was silent for a while. "Then do you think there are innocent people among those stones?"

"..." Mo Ao still didn't speak.

Tony still understood.He nodded with complicated emotions, and did not continue to speak.

"Actually, after you told me about it, I was very scared for a while." Tony changed the subject and started talking about himself.

"I... made a mistake when I was young and created Killian." Tony looked deeply at Mo Ao, his black jade-like eyes sparkled. "Later, it was also my mistake, I created Ultron."

"I'm afraid you'll be next."

"I won't be next!"

Tony's complex, regretful and pleading eyes made Mo Ao respond as quickly as if he had been stabbed.

"Then why?" Tony asked sadly.

"...Because I couldn't see them at the time." Mo Ao took a deep breath and said heavily.

Mo Ao may be indifferent to life now, but he will not be indifferent to people's hearts, and he will not be indifferent to those beautiful things.It may be a bit contradictory to say this, but it is actually a very intuitive thing.

You pull him to a window, there is a family in the window, three generations live together, the old man is kind, the grandchildren are lovely, the family is happy, he will appreciate and cherish such beauty.

So, does such an innocent person exist among those 180 million human souls?

Maybe there is.

But Mo Ao will not feel guilty, nor will he feel any burden about it, the reason is very simple, just like what he said just now, because he didn't see it.

"My strength is too weak, my ability is insufficient, and my vision is too narrow. What I can see and what I can protect is only a little bit in front of me." Mo Ao continued, "Even if it's just like this, it's just Already tried my best.”

"My eyes are on my enemies and my friends, and I can't see those innocent people." Mo Ao looked directly into Tony's eyes, showing no regrets at all. "In the past two years, there is a saying that you should have heard me say many times."

"Tony, I'm not a hero."

"The time in New York was just young and eager to show off, the time in Sokovia was just out of consideration for work and helping the Avengers, even the time in Zemo..." Mo Ao said and paused. "What the captain wants to protect is that the people will not be violated by the Winter Soldier. And I want to protect is only my friend."

"A selfish ghost can't be a hero, Tony." Mo Ao smiled at Tony. "I've grown up."

"...But you don't have to worry that I will be next." After a few seconds of silence, Mo Ao changed his style and said firmly.

"Fighting is to stop fighting. Sacrifice is to stop sacrificing. The growth of strength and the expansion of vision are all to make up for what I couldn't do before. I have already crossed that step, and the past can't be made up for, but in the future, the stone , there will be no more innocent people, that's the only thing I can guarantee."

creak.

Suddenly, Chen Yun opened the door and walked in, then stopped after two steps.

She seemed to sense that the atmosphere was not right.

"I... didn't come at the right time?" Chen Yun moved her eyes back and forth between Mo Ao and Tony, and asked with some hesitation.

"Ah! No!...No, yes, we are all resting, there is nothing to disturb." Mo Ao said in a panic. "Sister Yun, are you over there too?"

"Not yet." As if to say the right thing, Chen Yun didn't care about Mo Ao's unnaturalness, and very cooperatively entered the topic. "There is something new about [electronic vaccine], I'm here to find Stark. Is it convenient for you to come and take a look now?"

"Of course." Tony and Mo Ao tacitly tried to remain natural in front of Chen Yun. At this time, Tony seemed very gentlemanly.

"Is there any work to do? Then I will come too."

"You stay here." Mo Ao was about to get up when Chen Yun forcibly interrupted him.

Mo Ao froze all over, and looked at Chen Yun in a half-sitting posture.

The gentle beauty was looking at him with a charming smile, her tone was unprecedentedly gentle.

"You stay here and rest well."

Chapter 91 A Man Not Fit to Be a Hero

Avengers base, in the hallway leading to the research room.

Before and after, Chen Yun and Tony walked about three steps away from each other. No one spoke, and the sound of shoes stepping on the floor in the air was harsh.

After walking a certain distance, Chen Yun stopped abruptly, causing Tony, who was following behind, to also stop.

"Mr. Stark, can you please stop preaching your heroism in front of him?" Chen Yun turned around and said to Tony very rudely.

"What?" Tony was taken aback by Chen Yun's sudden questioning, unable to understand what she meant for a while.

"He should have told you that we are not heroes, and neither is he. So please don't put the burden on him that he shouldn't bear, and don't bind him with terms that even you can't do yourself .”

"I thought that what I just overstepped caused your displeasure. But I didn't expect that you were blaming me for this." Tony said incredulously, then laughed mockingly and said. "Okay! Since you took the initiative to bring this up, I still want to ask you. How do you become guardians?"

"That child possesses power that most people cannot possess at a young age, and has achieved achievements that countless people cannot do! If you are dissatisfied with my meddling, you should teach him well! After New York What have you done for three years? Why is that child's hands stained with the blood of innocent people?! If he goes astray, do you know what the consequences will be?"

"We are not interested in playing your hero game Tony Stark with you. You only saw his power, his potential, and perhaps his harm. But do you know what he paid for that power?"

"You think you've carried enough weight as a hero to protect others. But in reality your level is nothing compared to what he's carried. You don't know us at all , let alone Mo Ao."

"Do you know that kid lives in a world where if he is not selfish, he will be regarded as an idiot! He willfully and persistently believes in things that seem stupid when he knows this! He paid for it There's more to it than you can imagine!"

Chen Yun showed her stern side that she had never had before, and looked at Tony with extremely unkind eyes.

"And just now, you threw those heavy things on him that he shouldn't bear at all. Stark, if you don't know anything, then please don't be smart, our guide to him It's not your turn to question education and education. I hope I won't need to remind you a second time about this."

"...What do you mean [a world where you will be treated as an idiot if you are not selfish]?!" Tony frowned tightly when he heard it. What Chen Yun said was unbelievable to him, but the other party The real anger made it difficult for him to raise doubts.

"That's not something you should know." Chen Yun said indifferently, without any desire to explain to Tony.

As if she didn't want to continue this topic, Chen Yun ignored Tony, turned around and started walking, not waiting for him to follow up. The saying of [electronic vaccine] new discovery is just an excuse to call Tony out alone.

"I never wanted him to be a hero."

==========Separation line==========

Another month passed, and the progress of [Honkai Vaccine] was approaching completion in a steady growth. During this period, Mo Ao also took time to continue polishing his 26 Gaia memories. Today, it is finally more than half completed, and only The last six memories have not yet been manufactured.

Yae Sakura remained silent, as if the message she left was Mo Ao's auditory hallucination.

But now I'm not afraid of her anymore, although it's hard to say whether something like the collapse can come, and whether it can be stopped if it really appears.However, the ability to corrode the Herrscher has been cracked seven or eighty-eight times.Although Yae Sakura is still a threat, there is no need to worry that she can turn the earth upside down.

And today, the one-year agreement between Mo Ao and Gu Yi is about to arrive.

In other words, Strange is about to go to Karma Taj to study medicine and start his legendary career as Doctor Strange.

"Then... I'm leaving now." Mo Ao's eyes looked up and down on Tony, although it was as planned at the beginning, after the [vaccine] was completed, he and Jarvis would invest in it. Use, Mo Ao provides an automatic book as an aid.

But he is still not at ease. It has nothing to do with the level of the level. If you don't do some things yourself, you will be worried. This is probably a kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

But no matter how worried, Mo Ao couldn't continue to push forward this time.He has to go to Kama Taj to go to the ancient one. Doctor Strange is involved in the Marvel multiverse. It doesn't matter how powerful he is, but he is really [Strange], a functional hero.

Well, the same as Mo Ao. (big boo)

Chen Yun had already left one step ahead. Unlike Mo Ao, she was not worried about anything. After finishing her work, she left very simply and freely.

Then Mo Ao, who was shy, was forcibly sent away by Tony.

Leaving the Avengers base, Mo Ao looked at the sky, and calculated the time difference. It was only five o'clock in the morning at Karma Taj. Although the ancient one mage is aloof, other ordinary mages and even apprentices still have normal work and rest. Haven't even started yet.

So Mo Ao did not teleport directly to the residence of Master Gu Yi, but first teleported to an empty corner of Kama Taj, intending to walk there.

Arriving in front of Master Gu Yi's residence, Mo Ao was forced to stop.

Because he saw a disheveled and embarrassed man, leaning against the door in extreme frustration and a little delirious, blocking the way in.

Mo Ao raised his eyebrows, and looked at the man's palm - there were openings everywhere, and there were fixed marks.

Although he didn't know what Strange looked like, he probably couldn't find another beggar who could meet the above conditions and block the door of the ancient mage.

After thinking about this, Mo Ao stepped forward.

"Sir, could you please move out of the way? I want to go in."

"Oh... oh! Sorry, I just... just get out of the way." Strange was hungry for a long time at this time, and was exhausted, just squatting with the last persistence He just refused to leave by the door, he didn't even have the extra attention to recognize Mo Ao's face.

However, just as Strange was about to get out of the way, the door behind him was suddenly opened, causing him to lose his strength and sit down on the ground again.

Wang's unsmiling face appeared through the crack of the door.

"Master Gu Yi knew you were here." Wang said to Mo Ao. "She asked me to invite you in."

Then Wang still looked at Strange with a cold face.

"You too."

Chapter 92 Pussy Feeling

Mo Ao and Strange walked into the house. Strange seemed a little restrained along the way. He had already been thrown out once, and he experienced the feeling of having nothing at all.Under this premise, he could not maintain his stubbornness and arrogance,

"Is this your first time here?" Mo Ao said to Strange beside him.

"Uh...actually it's the second time." Strange didn't expect Mo Ao to talk to him suddenly, so he paused and replied.However, since he was thrown out before, it was unavoidably embarrassing, so he seemed vague.

"Wait! I seem to know you." While talking, Mo Ao suddenly made an expression that he had discovered something, stopped and looked at Strange and said.

"!" Strange's breath stagnates, he has been disheveled for several months, and now he is disheveled like a beggar, being recognized by others at this time is not a pleasant experience.

"You're the one, the famous one..."

Really recognized?He has disappeared from the industry for a long time. Can anyone recognize Doctor Strange after his hands are disabled?

Strange was a little ashamed, but he was also looking forward to it. Anyway, if he was recognized, it meant that he was remembered as a doctor, and it was an affirmation of his past.

"Charlotte Holmes, right?" Mo Ao said enthusiastically with a sudden smile. (Note ①)

"..." Strange was stunned. "What?"

"Just kidding, hello, Doctor Strange."

"Oh...well, it's funny...although I didn't understand..." Strange said politely and perfunctorily, and finally couldn't hold back If so, he asked Mo Ao. "So, is this actually one of your superhero bases or something?"

"It seems that you also recognize me."

"Yes, Ying Long, I watched the live broadcast of Sokovia at that time."

"...I'm quite happy if you don't mention it." Mo Ao showed a helpless expression. Now almost everyone mentions him, the first thing that comes to mind is the Sokovia incident two years ago .

But as he said to Tony, he didn't have the idea of ​​​​saving the people at the time, he just did it for the purpose of improving the negative image of the Avengers.Others regard him as a great hero who rescues the suffering, but it sounds very awkward to him.

"But regarding your question, I have to say that you are overthinking. Mage is a very ancient force. They have been passed down for thousands of years, hiding in the dark, and taking the responsibility of protecting the world, much earlier than the Avengers. I It’s just that I happen to know Master Gu Yi.”

Just as he was speaking, Mordo, the black mage who had helped Strange before, walked over.

"Master Gu Yi asked me to take you to the resting place, follow me." Then he turned his head to look at Mo Ao and nodded in greeting. "Hello."

"Hello." Mo Ao replied.

The mage Modu, after learning that the ancient one borrowed power from the dark lord Dormammu to maintain his life, his faith collapsed and he embarked on the road to destroy the mage.

It may be the villain of "Doctor Strange 2" that has not yet been released... Of course, from the current point of view, Tao is more likely. (Note ②)
