,!
Peter hung up the phone depressedly.
"What's wrong?" Stacey, wearing loose clothes and holding a glass of Coke, looked at Peter curiously.
They are currently having a party in the rooftop swimming pool of Stark Tower. It is said to be a party, but it is actually very modest. Apart from Tony and Pepper, there are only three children. Tony had never had such a shabby party in his life. But when Stacey saw the top-floor swimming pool, she went crazy. Although her family is not poor, they are definitely not that wealthy.
Then she begged Pepper to have a party very familiarly.
And then that was it.
"It's Liz." Peter's face was as bitter as eating a sour lemon, and it was wrinkled together.
"Ha!" Tony couldn't help laughing while sitting on his cocktail.
This situation has continued since Peter was driven back by Liz. Tony, the invincible straight man, can laugh at Peter's slowness... let's talk about how low Peter is. He obviously went to comfort others, but ended up quarreling with others over so-called right and wrong. Even a willful person like Tony admired Peter.
Stacey was a little uncomfortable, but okay. Although she always overlapped the Peter in front of her with her own Peter, deep down she was still very clear that this was not her own Peter.
"What? Are you still reluctant to leave?" Even though it was clear, she was still unhappy and felt like she had been cheated on.
"No...she ran away!" Peter then revealed the crux of the matter.
"Ran?!
"This time it wasn't just Stacey, but other people were also stunned: "Why did you run away? "
"She said she wanted to avenge her father..."
Pepper was the most kind-hearted and immediately said anxiously: "She is just a child! Where is she? Let her go back quickly! Isn't her mother going crazy with anxiety?"
Tony pouted, he didn't like children.
That's why.
Willful and difficult to handle.
Haha, this bastard has the nerve to think that others are willful and difficult to deal with.
"Tsk!" In Tony's opinion, a little girl... takes revenge? Does she know who the murderer is? Also, she would probably vomit after seeing a chicken being killed, and she would kill someone for revenge... forget it. It's just a child's mischief, not worth mentioning.
"Tony!
! "
Pepper was unhappy with Tony's attitude.
"Okay, okay, Jarvis, find that Liz." Tony waved his hand casually. She estimated that the little girl was hiding in that Starbucks right now and crying.
"Yes, sir."
But five seconds later.
"Sorry sir, I couldn't find it."
Tony was surprised that it was so easy to find a child like this, he just needed to locate her mobile phone.
What Tony didn't know was that after Liz met Keith, he asked her to hand over all her electronic products, including her cell phone.
"Invade the hotel and nearby surveillance, keep looking!"
"Yes, sir!"
Three seconds later.
"Sorry sir, no target found."
"What?"
"Activate Skynet?" Jarvis asked.
Peter asked curiously: "What is that?"
It was also the first time for Pepper to hear about this thing, and she looked at Tony curiously.
"Ahem, that's an information analysis system Kai asked me to design."
But who is Pepper? As soon as Tony stuck his butt out, she knew what this guy farted.
"Tony!"
"Okay, okay, that's a super system that collects, monitors, and analyzes information. Through it, we can see holographic images of the entire New York City, and even the entire world, and monitor cell phone calls. It can even provide information from anywhere in the city. The communication system becomes our ears and eyes…”
It is to hijack all existing information exchange devices on the market, including but not limited to monitoring equipment, mobile phones, computers, etc., turn them all into information collection terminals, and then integrate and analyze the huge information flow.
It's like turning the entire world into a sandbox game. Everything in the game can be observed from a God's perspective through this system.
It was after they destroyed the Insight Project that Kai came up with the idea.
Anyway, they have the underlying algorithm of the insight plan, and coupled with Tony's ability, the feasibility of this thing is very high.
Tony also felt that something was going on.
Then it was designed and built. Kai also gave the name Skynet in a very naughty way. You know, in the previous life, they used Skynet a lot in their affairs. Definitely not a tribute to the Terminator, after all, this thing has no intelligence.
"Tony!" Pepper screamed: "How can you do this? This is not only illegal, but also extremely immoral!"
"Honey, this is not my fault, it was Kai who forced me. He thinks that the right to life is higher than the right to sex!" Kai did think so, and he asked Tony to build this system to target those who were in the dark. Enemies, such as the Skrulls.
"No! Absolutely not!" But Pepper was still very determined.
This is not entirely due to moral issues, but mixed with practical issues.
No one would allow this to happen.
Even the federal government tries its best to cover up such things. After all, there is no one in this world who doesn't want others to know. For example, you must destroy your hard drive before you die, because if that thing is exposed... it will be easy to die directly.
If the outside world knew that Tony had this thing, there would definitely be an uproar!
Countless people will step on Stark's feet ten thousand times!
"Uh...I know, I will let Jarvis seal Skynet."
"It's not sealed! It's destroyed!"
"Alright alright."
Tony could only agree reluctantly.
"Jarvis, destroy the existing Skynet system!"
Why existing?
Haha, don't talk about Pepper. Even that stupid boy Peter knows that this means there is a backup!
In fact, it doesn't matter whether there is a backup or not. After all, as long as Tony is still alive, it won't be that difficult to build another one. Kai and Tony will definitely use it when it’s time to use it!
But this matter ends here and cannot be mentioned again.
It's useless to mention it. Could it be that they would report it?
"Now what?"
"Sir, I found something here." Jarvis suddenly said.
Tony was shocked.
"Did you find her?"
"No, I found traces of being overwritten in all relevant surveillance records! Someone helped Miss Lizzie Toombs hide her whereabouts!"
"Huh? Can you follow the traces and check?"
"No! The other party did it very covertly. There is no way to find traces of the other party."
"Tsk...it seems that this little girl doesn't just talk casually." Tony had a toothache.
"Then what should I do now?" Peter said in panic.
"She called just to tell you this?"
"No, she just asked me to call Mrs. Toombs to report that she was safe, and that she was at her uncle's place, so she shouldn't worry."
"Huh? She's with her family?" That's nonsense!
"But as far as I know, she doesn't have an uncle..." Peter said.
"This..." Tony didn't know what to do.
"Anyway, I think it's better to inform her mother first. Maybe that Mrs. Toombs knows something?"
…
"Phew...thank you, Peter! Thank you very much." Just when Mrs. Toombs was going crazy with anxiety, Peter's phone call was like a life-saving medicine, which finally made Mrs. Toombs feel a little more at ease.
"Um... Mrs. Toombs, do you know the uncle in Liz's mouth? I'm a little worried about her." Peter asked.
"Well, I probably know who he is." As soon as Toomes heard that Liz was at her uncle's place, she actually guessed who it was.
"That……"
"I'm sorry, Peter. I can't talk about these things." Naturally, Mrs. Toombs would not tell Peter about Mason. It wasn't that she couldn't tell, but... could she talk to a child?
Then Mrs. Toombs hung up.
And sitting opposite her was Kai!
Liz's disappearance was related to alien weapons, so Kai was naturally notified immediately.
"Who is Lizzie's uncle?"
"Mason, Phineas Mason. He was my husband's employee and a great friend. Ed trusted him deeply."
"So, he was also involved in the arms deal."
"No, probably not." Toombs 'betrayed' Mason without any burden: "He...has a mental illness. He has problems interacting with people, but his skills are very good. He used to work for my husband's company. Mechanical maintenance worker. Maybe he will be involved in some arms repair work, but he is definitely not involved in the arms transaction. After all, he can't be involved."
Contrary to what Mason thought, he was afraid of being caught by the police, but in fact, he was the one they least needed to worry about.
After all, he has two protective umbrellas. One is of course mentally ill, and he has severe emotional illness and cannot be sentenced to prison at all.
Secondly, he himself did not participate in any transaction process.
He just helped repair some external equipment.
After all, there has never been a law that stipulates that alien equipment cannot be repaired.
This is a gap in the law. His lawyer only needs to refute that he did not know that it was for trafficking, and no one can do anything to him.
His case is easy to fight, and only an experienced lawyer can defend him not guilty.
He doesn't even need to be detained. After all, he is a mentally deficient person. The lawyer only needs to issue a mental evaluation and he can be released on bail. Even if he wants to save money, he doesn't even need to be released on bail and just let the police pay for him to be sent to a nursing home. …
Of course, it's a good thing that Mason doesn't show up, at least he doesn't have to worry about being targeted by Ed's enemies.
It's just Liz... Although Mrs. Toombs doesn't need to worry about Liz's safety for the time being, but... Liz said she wanted to take revenge.
Is this what a girl should do?
Kai also has some numb claws, what the hell is this?
"Do you know where Mason is?
"I know his house, but...they can't stay at his house, right?"
"No matter, let's go take a look first. Do you know about his other strongholds?"
"Mason is an honest man. Besides his home, he is also a company. How can he have a secret base?" Mrs. Toombs couldn't imagine that Mason would have a secret base. In her impression, Mason is the ultimate social terror. Let alone interacting with others, he is afraid of looking at others.
"Tsk...it's troublesome..."
…
"What are we going to do?" Liz changed into canvas work clothes and looked at Mason eagerly.
"I am assembling the locator." Mason said while working: "Some of our products contain Chitauri energy cores. This energy core will release a special kind of radiation. Although it is harmless, we But they can be located through this radiation. As long as we assemble an instrument specifically designed to detect this radiation, we can definitely find them. As long as we find them, it will not be difficult to find those who killed Ed."
"Oh." Liz seemed to understand, and she was bored watching Mason work, so after watching for a while, she ran to find Case.
Case's studio is in another room.
When Liz opened the door and went in, a deafening sound of death heavy metal almost knocked Liz to the ground!
Case was working too, but in a completely different way than Mason.
When Mason worked, he was meticulous and careful.
But Case...how to put it?
Very...extensive!
Every item she makes is very cyberpunk, with all kinds of exaggerated spray paint and weird shapes. Anyway, it always feels unreliable. When she was working, she would fight in an extremely noisy environment with various tools, regardless of the consequences!
All kinds of flashing sparks keep erupting, and even explosions occur.
It looks very colorful.
"Keith!
! "
"Keith!
! "
"Keith!
! "
Liz couldn't even hear her own voice. Her heartbeat began to beat with the rhythm of the music. It felt very bad. For a while, she felt that her chest was tight because her chest had begun to resonate with the sound. .
"Keith!
"
Liz made the loudest noise she had ever made.
It's a pity that it's useless. The key was that she didn't dare to step forward. After all, everything around Keith looked... dangerous and might explode at any time.
Fortunately, Sebastian, the pet rat who had been swaying to the music, saw Case.
It patted Case and pointed.
Keith then turned to look at Liz.
Case opened her mouth to laughter and she turned off the music.
"Liz! What's wrong? You came to play with me?"
"Um... no no no!" She seemed to have forgotten her purpose, and the experience just now made her a little short-circuited. "I just wanted to ask about your work progress."
Keith smiled and said, "Don't worry, little girl, your 'Nightingale' will be out soon!"
"nightingale?"
"Yes! Adrian's code name is Vulture, but that code name is too ugly, especially for girls, so I decided to rename this mecha. It is now called Nightingale! I also specially adjusted it for this purpose. Its design makes it more powerful and beautiful at the same time!”
"Aesthetics?" Although it was not a good idea to say this, Liz was a little uncomfortable with Keith's aesthetics. Although it was quite cool, it didn't suit her.
"That's right! Aesthetic! Just like my Jinx, Boom Boom, and Fishbones!"
Jinx is Case's pistol. It looks like a children's toy. It's very childlike. When strengthening the body, colorful light spots will constantly appear and then disappear. It's flashy, but every time he sees it, Mason wants to Give me a few shivers, that thing isn't as harmless as it looks.
As for Fish Bones and Bang Bang, Liz hasn’t seen them yet.
