Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 669 24. "Cold" Static Potion

Merlin's girlfriend has the power of Hoarfrost, which is a very magical and terrifying power.

According to the good friend of Merlin's girlfriend, Her Royal Highness Princess Ciriya, hoarfrost is only similar to frozen frost in form, but in essence, it is a manifestation of a more advanced symbol of death in reality.

When hoarfrost is added to the body, all the temperatures that represent life will be quickly absorbed, and the severe cold will quickly extinguish the fire of life.

The hive world is covered by the power of hoarfrost. Although hoarfrost has left this world, the cold air in this world is still more dangerous than the winter in the real world.

Walking in the hive world, the heat loss rate will be much faster than in the real world. Theoretically, even a super creature like Kryptonian Clark, as long as he stays in the hive world long enough, he will also fall into a verge of death due to heat loss. in death.

Of course, that's only in theory.

This small world is very unstable, and it is held together by hoarfrost glaciers. If Clark is really thrown into it, I am afraid that Superman will choose to tear down this world directly.

He could survive in space anyway.

But others... just not.

Twenty-five minutes later, the dimensional rift opened again, and Merlin stepped into the hive world with a cane. , Merlin's support is always longer than others.

He took a few steps forward, and saw a terrifying depression on the originally flat ice sheet, and there were smashed ice blocks everywhere, as if a savage giant beast had wreaked havoc here.

And at the bottom of the big sinkhole, Bruce Banner was lying in the broken ice, his body had been covered with a layer of rapidly growing frost.

"He should be calm enough by now."

Merlin jumped into the pit, grabbed Bruce Banner's arm, opened the crack, and returned to the base in this world.

Thirty minutes later, Dr. Banner, who was lying in the interrogation room, slowly opened his eyes. He felt very warm. He turned his head and saw that a ball of flames was flying around his body, and he was only wearing a black suit. Shorts, no wisps.

Merlin, Merlin was standing not far away looking at him, holding a half-eaten apple in his hand.

"Am I out of control again?"

Dr. Banner rubbed his aching head, sat up from the bed, looked at Merlin, and said:

"Hulk appeared again?"

"Correct."

Merlin nodded, he gnawed on the apple and said:

"He also told me a lot of things, for example, he was awakened by you on his own initiative, and the reason why he appeared was to protect you, and the reason why you woke up Hulk was not only to save yourself, but also to see your lover again... um , I was almost moved."

"But Dr. Banner, even though Hulk explained everything to me, it still can't be explained. How did you survive the gamma-ray radiation that is enough to kill instantly?"

Merlin said firmly:

"I don't think a split personality has such a magical ability to allow you to absorb such a huge amount of radiation. You must have secrets that you haven't told me about your body."

"That's not the kind of secret you think."

Banner sat cross-legged on the bed weakly, letting the warm flame revolve around him, he said to Merlin:

"I told you I had a rough time as a kid, right?"

"Well, I was abused."

Merlin picked up the file at hand, flipped through a few pages, and said:

"You appear to have suffered a long period of abuse from your father, who was a piece of scum, before being sent to welfare."

"No, he's not just a scumbag."

Banner explained in a low voice:

"He is still a scientist. Although he was stripped of all honors during the Cold War because of some inappropriate behaviors, he is indeed my enlightener in the field of science."

"I'm actually thinking about how I survived, I guess, because of the things my dad did to me when I was little...I remember, for a while, he used to inject me with weird things medicines."

Banner looked up at Merlin, he pulled out an ugly smile, and said softly:

"I still don't know what those drugs are, but now it seems that I may have to thank my crazy father, more than 20 years later, his crazy experiments saved my life."

"Well, this explanation is acceptable."

Merlin nodded, and he said to Banner:

"We're going to take some of your blood and cells for research, no problem?"

"No."

Banner looked at Merlin, the light of wisdom was beating in his eyes, and he said:

"I can't say no, can I?"

"Don't be so pessimistic, Banner."

Merlin stepped forward, took out an apple from his pocket and handed it to Dr. Banner. He patted Banner on the shoulder, then sat beside Banner, and said:

"I won't lock you up like a beast, as long as you can control your emotions, then you will have restricted freedom. I can even transfer Miss Betty to your side, and you can live in a place where you will not be disturbed." to continue their own research.”

"No, don't let Betty come over."

Banner bit the apple, rubbed his chest, and said:

"Hulk has his own consciousness, and I can't control him yet. I love Betty, but to Hulk, Betty is just a stranger...he will hurt her, which I can't stand."

"You've got to lock me up! Mr. Merlin."

Banner said to Merlin:

"I ask you to do this, and you must do the same. Lock me in a sealed area and set up several defenses, or the world just now, just throw me in and give me some supplies and research equipment. .”

He looked at his hands, and he said:

"I'm going to figure out a way to fix this, I don't want to hurt anyone else."

"Self-exile?"

Merlin pursed his lips, and said:

"But you don't actually need to do this. According to my observation, Hulk only appears when you lose control of your emotions, right? As long as you keep your emotions stable..."

"It's not that easy, Mr. Merlin."

Dr. Banner said pessimistically:

"Hulk is an unstable factor in my emotions. He is like a crack in my spirit. Some things are beyond my control. What's more, Hulk is not willing to be locked up. A life experience instinctively pursues freedom. .He can induce emotions in me, make me lose control, I have to fight with myself, but the worst thing is, I can't guarantee that I will win every time."

"Then use this."

Merlin took out a metal syringe with a silver liquid in it from his pocket. He stuffed the syringe into Banner's hand and said:

"The sedatives used by demon hunters on alien species are so powerful that they can knock down an elephant in an instant. When you realize that you are emotionally unstable, inject it into your blood vessels. A few minutes is enough for me to rush over. .”

"and this."

Merlin took out another thin notebook and threw it into Dr. Banner's hands. He said:

"This is what I learned from learning meditation when I first got involved in magic. It is a way of psychological adjustment similar to yoga. It includes various techniques and methods of using psychological hints. I don't expect you to learn magic, but every night A little meditation before bed will keep you from losing control.”

"Thank you."

Banner looked at the syringe and notebook in his hand, he was silent for a moment, he said to Merlin:

"I don't know why you are helping me like this, but thank you anyway."

"You smart people, you always like to think wildly."

Merlin shook his head, and he said to Banner:

"I just see a struggling soul yearning for peace, so help me out, plus your wisdom is also very important to us, we need you, Dr. Banner, not for you to develop a deadly weapon for us, or Continuing any biological enhancement research is not..."

Merlin lowered his voice and said to Banner:

"You were absent at the last meeting of the Future Technology Foundation, so you don't know the main points of our work now. I want to invite you to join a project that maintains world order and promotes the development of civilization. I need you to use your wisdom , to eliminate possible crises in the future.”

"Omnic, have you heard the term?"

Facing Merlin's inquiry, Dr. Banner hesitated for a moment, then nodded, and said:

"I read the documents of the Ministry of Defense in this regard. They also had some projects for omnics, but then they seemed to be canceled due to pressure from above."

"Well, the pressure we put on them."

Merlin says:

"The project plan on omnic is currently led by the World Security Council. Many smart people like you have joined this project, but we still need more wisdom to work together, especially in certain areas related to artificial intelligence. These issues are... tricky."

He patted Banner on the shoulder and said to him:

"You'll have a new lab, you'll have special funding, you'll have new tasks, you'll have colleagues, and assistants... Betty Ross, this lady became part of the omnic project 15 minutes ago I think the reason why she agreed so readily is because she looks forward to continuing to work with you."

Merlin winked at Banner and said:

"I don't know much about that girl, but she should be a good girl, so you'd better not miss her."

"But Hulk..."

Banner still hesitated, Merlin shook his head, and said:

"Forget the Hulk, you want to keep winning the endless battles with him, you need a spiritual support. You can't take risks alone, listen to me, Banner, loneliness is the only way to madness , especially in your situation."

"I think it's actually a good thing Betty is around you..."

Merlin said seriously:

"Every time you see her, you will know the meaning of your persistence. Everything you need to fight Hulk...your love will be given to you. Of course, that girl is also a powerful researcher, she It can help you inject sedatives before you lose control, so her presence is also necessary."

"Betty is the calming agent you need most now, and we will also set up a protection mechanism to ensure the safety of that girl."

Merlin took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. He said:

"Oh, of course, I don't recommend you two to play some more exciting 'games' before you fully understand the mechanism of Hulk's appearance, you should understand what I mean?"

"Okay, any questions now?"

"Nothing."

Dr. Banner gnawed at the apple, and said:

"That's fine for now, and I'll bring it up again if necessary."

"Ah."

Merlin took a step back, and he said to Banner:

"Then, from now on, 05084-2 is your code name, Bruce Banner, and someone will escort you to your isolation area in a while, which is an island in the Atlantic Ocean, and you will stay there for 3-5 months , we will choose a more suitable quarantine area for you in the future."

He took an identification card from his pocket, handed it to Banner, and said:

"From today, you will resign from the experimental team of the Ministry of Defense and join the omnic project, and your first task is to assist Reed Richards in developing a ' Amnestics and Reorganization Programs', or, as they are more sinisterly called, 'Brainwashing Programs'."

"Also, Banner, if you want to escape, I mean, if your physical alter ego wants to escape..."

Merlin said solemnly:

"Be sure to notify me in advance."

Merlin returned to the Trident Building, he pushed open the office door, and saw Fury sitting on the sofa, eating a sandwich with a glass of Coke, looking quite leisurely.

"The Hulk matter is resolved?"

Chief Braised Egg looked up at Merlin, who pointed to the food bag on the table, and said:

"Remember to take the garbage away later, and it has been initially resolved."

He walked across from Fury, sat on the sofa, and said to Fury:

"Bruce Banner is actually a very talkative person. He has a very good temper and is not very good at rejecting others. He belongs to the kind of good old man in the true sense. It was a pleasure to talk to him. He is willing to accept isolation and monitoring. In the mechanical project, use his wisdom to serve the project."

"Well, you've always been good at persuading people."

Fury bit the food, he said inarticulately:

"Thaddeus is almost done with it. He was forced to retire by the Ministry of Defense, and all the data about the 'biological cell technology enhancement project' was also recovered. This matter is almost over here, but there are still some follow-up business."

The chief looked at the watch on his wrist and said:

"You and I will go to Washington in a while. There is a meeting of the World Security Council that we need to attend."

"About what?"

Merlin asked:

"Let me guess, it was the Hulk incident that finally pushed the patience of those congressmen to the limit?"

"almost."

Fury stuffed the last bite of the sandwich into his mouth and took a sip of his Coke, saying:

"They're going to have a new rule about all these bioaugmentation experiments and these 'superheroes' who have been active lately, who think they're doing good, but it's a challenge to the overall order, They did cause some confusion, too."

"It's time for us to respond to this. Also, Pierce needs you to make a report for the congressmen on the recent incidents of dangerous biological experiments we have collected."

"So you'd better prepare in advance."
