Soon everyone knew the reason why the Red Skull was so eager to persuade people to sacrifice, which made it much more difficult for the Red Skull to encourage others.
Everyone originally distrusted the Red Skull, and now that Red Skull's personal interests were involved, they distrusted him even more.
What Red Skull said was not a lie, but if there was no personal gain involved, then everyone would still believe him after thinking rationally. But now that there are interests involved, the credibility of his words immediately fell to the bottom. Everyone suspected that the Red Skull had not revealed any crucial information, but was deliberately tempting people to die in order to escape the shackles of the Soul Stone.
Natasha clashed with the Red Skull several more times, but when the Red Skull became vigilant, he showed the qualities of a top agent, allowing Natasha to return without success.
If it were any other enemy, the Avengers would have captured him and slowly cooked him up, making him spit out all the information. But the Red Skull is a soul, and everyone is completely helpless against him.
The Red Skull also took this advantage to the extreme, appearing from time to time to harass people, buzzing in people's ears like a fly. He firmly believes that as long as he is human, he has weaknesses. When a person is exhausted and haggard, he will naturally take advantage of it.
Everyone is extremely fed up with the Red Skull, a toad that doesn't bite but responds to people, but there is nothing they can do about him.
"Tony, can't you think of a way to put this guy in a cage?" Professor Hulk, who was unbearably annoyed, reluctantly asked Tony for help after punching through the Red Skull but to no avail. .
Tony put down the tools in his hands, pushed up the goggles, looked at the Red Skull proudly circling around Professor Hulk, and sighed:
"You are also a physicist. You should know that for things like the soul, the scientific community on earth has no theory or knowledge for reference. This should belong to the category of magic. It's a pity that Strange is not here. Otherwise, he must have a way to deal with this ghost-like thing."
Professor Hulk thought about what happened that day when he was slapped by the Supreme Mage Ancient One and his soul was knocked out, and he believed Tony's words deeply.
"Is it possible to let him wander around like this? I'm worried that he will leak our information to Thanos."
"There's no need to worry about this. Not to mention that he can't stay far away from the Soul Gem. Even if he wants to leak secrets to the Dark Legion, he has to understand our arrangement." Tony glanced at the Red Skull with disdain, " It’s not that I look down on him. This old illiterate person still has the same technical level as during World War II, and he can’t even understand what we are doing!”
Tony picked up an energy exchanger from the automatic defense device, shook it at the Red Skull, and said provocatively: "Hey, you old World War II illiterate person, do you know what this thing is for?"
The Red Skull's face is all red, and it's hard to tell whether he has become gloomy, but looking at his tightly knitted muscle eyebrows, you can tell that he is extremely angry now.
"Hmph! You will regret it!" Red Skull said a word, turned and left.
Seeing the crumpled Red Skull, everyone was so happy that they stopped what they were doing and laughed.
Only Tony, after laughing a few times, glanced at Steve, stopped his smile, and apologized rudely: "I'm sorry, Steve, the old World War II illiterate I'm talking about is not you."
Steve glanced at the mean-mouthed Tony angrily and said angrily: "You are indeed Howard's son. Both father and son are so annoying!"
I don’t know if the Red Skull was stimulated. In the following days, he did not appear in the public eye again. But Tony discovered from the surveillance video that the Red Skull often wandered around in the defensive position transformed from the super battleship in the dead of night, not knowing what he was looking at.
However, it is obvious that Red Skull does not know that in today's technology, there is something called a miniature camera, which exposes everything he does to everyone.
Although the Avengers severely laughed at the Red Skull, they did not look down upon this early boss of Hydra. Instead, they paid close attention to the Red Skull's troubles.
Everyone temporarily put aside their work and held a small meeting specifically for the matter of the Red Skull.
"What do you think the Red Skull is doing?" Steve crossed his arms and stared cautiously at the Red Skull on the screen who was walking between different devices.
"Maybe you were stimulated by us last time, so you study secretly to improve your scientific level?" Scott said with a funny smile.
His words reminded everyone of the embarrassing performance of the Red Skull that day, and once again caused people to burst into laughter.
Steve did not laugh at the Red Skull with everyone, but shook his head and said seriously: "Don't underestimate him. I have fought with him for many years and know how dangerous he is."
"Don't worry, Steve, we didn't underestimate him." Scott quickly explained: "I mean, he may want to study how the communication equipment in these things works, and then take advantage of us while we are not here." Be careful and leak our information to the Dark Army."
"Although the Red Skull is now a soul body, it is not impossible to affect the real world, but it is much inferior to those with physical bodies. And external communication does not require much power, as long as you find the right frequency band, It can be done easily.”
"Killing with a borrowed knife is Hydra's favorite tactic, isn't it?"
Scott's words seemed to make sense, and this was indeed the most likely possibility, but Steve still felt uneasy.
"Is that all? I feel that this method is far different from the level of the Red Skull I encountered before."
Clint has never dealt with the Red Skull. His impression of the Red Skull is limited to books and these days of contact. He does not have any inherent judgments about the Red Skull that have been formed long ago. He explained to Steve:
"At this time and that time, he was the leader of Hydra at that time, and the human and material resources he could mobilize were too abundant. But now, he is just an ordinary soul bound by the soul gem, and he can naturally do a lot of things. It’s limited.”
"Yes, the Red Skull is indeed limited in what he can do."
Tony also interjected: "His current force is worse than any of us, so there is no need to worry about him using force to retaliate. Instead of using force against us, he might as well find a way to destroy our automatic defense position. That will have a huge impact on the upcoming war."
Other Avengers also expressed their opinions.
"That's right! And the worst part is, we can't restrain him at all now. Who knows when and where he will do something!"
"I think Friday can be asked to increase monitoring of the Red Skull. If he finds any evil intentions, he will immediately issue an alarm."
"With the Red Skull's character, if he doesn't move, he will definitely hit with one hit, and he will never give us a chance to react. It is best to authorize Friday to directly mobilize the weapon systems in the defensive position to stop him in time."
"This is a good idea. Friday is a model employee and works online 24 hours a day. We just need to install more cameras. Red Skull doesn't seem to recognize this thing."
"The function of the camera is not difficult to see. It is better to install a miniature one."
A group of people began to discuss how to monitor the Red Skull and how to prevent Friday from destroying it in time.
After a while, Steve suddenly found Tony sitting next to him silently, thoughtfully, so he asked:
"Tony, what do you think? Or, what else did you think of?"
Tony glanced at everyone and said hesitantly: "Since the Ultron incident, I have never granted too many permissions to artificial intelligence like Friday."
Everyone couldn't help but become quiet, and recalled the fear that the network was completely dominated by Ultron that day.
After a moment, Professor Hulk persuaded him: "Tony, Friday is different from Ultron. You developed it, so you know best."
"I know. I'm just..." Tony waved his hand, then rubbed his eyebrows, "I'm a little worried."
"What are you worried about?" Professor Hulk was surprised. It was rare for Tony to worry about gains and losses like this.
After Tony carefully considered his words, he said slowly: "Everything we have now is based on the intelligence provided by the Red Skull. But we all know that the Red Skull must have hidden more from us. Something. I’m not sure whether this part of what the Red Skull concealed will cause us great harm.”
"Friday is artificial intelligence. I'm afraid Red Skull has never heard of this thing. What harm can it do?" Steve is a complete layman on artificial intelligence. He compares his feelings and thinks that Red Skull must not understand it either.
"The key is not the Red Skull, but the Soul Stone!" Tony took a deep breath and sighed: "The power of the Infinity Stones is really terrifying. Since the Soul Stone can create the illusion and the Red Skull, then Could it also make Friday a real soul?”
After everyone heard this, they were shocked.
If at a critical moment in the battle, your own artificial intelligence betrays you and all the prepared weapon attacks fall on you, then you will be completely out of the fight.
"Can this kind of thing be easily done? Turn an artificial intelligence into a human?" Scott exclaimed.
"Other things may not work, but the soul gems, most likely!" Tony's brows were full of solemnity, "Although Friday becomes a human, he may not be our enemy, but we have all seen the infinity stones. It's so powerful, who knows how far it can go? We really can't take this risk."
"Now what?"
"Originally, I planned to concentrate on dealing with the incoming Dark Legion, but now it seems that the Red Skull is also a big threat. In order to fight against the outside world, we must first contain the inside. I decided to spend some time first to study soul-related technologies. See Can you create a force field or something to restrain the Red Skull first?”
"Do you need my help?" Professor Hulk asked proudly.
"The automatic defense facilities haven't been transformed yet, so you have to spend more time here. Just leave the Red Skull to me, and I will get rid of him!"
】
Tony Stark is a jerk when he's serious.
The technology on earth has almost zero research on the soul. There are only very few words about the soul. It is more like fantasy and conjecture than scientific knowledge or theoretical research.
Trying to use these so-called "research results" that are not much better than the theories made up by science fiction authors to create weapons and equipment that can restrain the soul body is more difficult than asking a primary school student to build a systematic subject out of thin air, and it is no easier. How many.
This kind of thing is simply an impossible task, but a guy like Tony Stark is a character who specializes in making the impossible possible.
In just a few months, Tony's research has advanced by leaps and bounds, almost faster than ***.
Before the automatic defense facility was renovated, Tony's spirit-body-binding stance was created. The efficiency of the efforts of a group of people was actually not as high as that of Tony alone. Just because of this, Tony will be able to bastard for a while.
"Thump thump thump thump..." Tony proudly brought the results of his hard work in front of everyone, put them on the table, and started to show off.
"The weapon in front of you is a cross-generation product that I have worked hard and spent several months to develop - the spirit-binding gun!"
"From today on, the history of human beings being helpless in the face of spiritual beings will come to an end!"
"In order to create this gun, I proposed seventeen theories and confirmed four of them. Based on these four theories, I constructed a new discipline, which I named spiritualism. In Spiritual science consists of many sub-disciplines such as spiritual body mechanics, spiritual magnetic field, and spiritual energy science..."
"Okay, okay!" Steve couldn't stand what he said as an introduction but was actually showing off, so he interrupted him directly, "Just tell us how to use this thing!"
Tony spread his hands in dissatisfaction, "Don't do this, it's very frustrating!"
"When we return to Earth, we will definitely prepare a grand party for you, call all your friends, and let you show off. But right now, we have a lot of work in hand, and we have no time to listen to your long speech."
"Okay." Tony picked up the gun on the table angrily and demonstrated to everyone: "It's almost like a normal gun. But this gun shoots not bullets, but energy fields. The gun is fired from the rear This Ark reactor supplies power, and in the center of the converter, it is converted into an energy field that can affect the spirit body through... some method that you don't need to understand."
"To put it simply, you just need to point this gun at the Red Skull, then pull the trigger and don't let go. The energy field will be like a rope, binding him tightly. You lead him back to the base and let him go. Just enter the force field cage I prepared."
"Understood!" Everyone immediately got a soul-binding gun and spread out to find the Red Skull, intending to kill this lingering guy first.
However, everyone ran from morning to night, from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain. They even dispatched fighter planes and searched the surrounding areas for thousands of miles, but they could not find the shadow of the Red Skull.
Red Skull is missing!
