32. Natasha's panicked heart
32. Natasha's panicked heart
"Today is a good day!"
Ji Yuan lay on the enlarged Little White and leisurely sang a song.
"Jarvis, have you copied all the experimental data?"
"Yes, sir, we have copied everything as you requested, and we have also deleted all the files in the cloud."
"Very good, I'm very satisfied."
Ji Yuan laughed heartily.
Ross liked kidnapping, didn't he? He liked researching the Super Soldier Serum, didn't he? Now he's done it all. Although there were still hard drives in the lab, there wasn't time to remove them in that situation. They definitely don't have the data on the mutated version of the Super Soldier Serum anymore.
In fact, General Ross in the movie isn't exactly a pure villain.
He was an old stubborn man, an extremely contradictory person.
On the one hand, he has an extremely strong desire for superpowers, such as the execution of the Super Soldier program, and later he even took the initiative to become Red Hulk.
On the other hand, there is his desire to control superpowered individuals. He is pushing hard for the Superhero Registration Act and the capture of the Hulk.
In short, he is a typical American figure who embodies the idea that "the dragon slayer becomes the dragon," and "you can't have it, but I can."
A person who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.
Ji Yuan's impression of Ross was neither good nor bad. Disputes over positions are always complicated. Everyone has their own reasons, and no one can really reach a conclusion by sticking to their own opinions.
But Ross shouldn't have provoked him. He didn't want to go for treatment, but he resorted to coercion and kidnapping. In that case, Ji Yuan could only make Ross pay a small price.
Well, just a tiny bit.
While Ji Yuan was leisurely enjoying himself thousands of meters in the sky, Natasha, not far from the Culver University laboratory, was in a much worse situation.
Through her careful investigation and information provided by agents within the Ross Army.
Ross did indeed kidnap an unidentified person to treat one of their soldiers, and then something strange seemed to happen during the treatment, with a highly corrosive blood mist enveloping the entire laboratory.
What followed was a violent explosion, which destroyed the entire laboratory. The underground laboratory, hundreds of meters deep, is still glowing with fire.
By this point, Natasha was certain that Ji Yuan had been kidnapped. Looking at the firelight in the deep pit, she didn't know how she felt.
Ever since the Red House subjected her to those inhumane human modification experiments and various forms of brainwashing, she has always felt that she is a monster, both psychologically and physically, because of the blood on her hands.
That man saved her; at least psychologically and physically, Natasha felt whole again.
A light that reached out and pulled him out of despair and darkness, just like that, died?
Natasha didn't know what she was feeling. Despair? Sadness? It seemed like neither. All she felt was an emptiness, as if she were standing on the edge of an abyss, completely devoid of anything.
As if absurdly remembering something, Natasha picked up her phone with trembling hands; she couldn't believe that person was really dead.
How about we try making a final phone call?
I dialed the number skillfully, and the ringing tone sounded so clear in the quiet night, each note resonating in my heart.
Beep beep—
The battle-hardened Black Widow appeared somewhat frail at this moment.
"Hey? Baby, did you miss me?" A familiar voice came from the phone, tinged with a hint of languor, as if the baby had just woken up.
"Are you alright?" Hearing the voice on the phone, Natasha felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from her heart. In the short ten seconds of waiting, sweat had already beaded on her forehead.
"What do you mean, is something wrong or not?" Ji Yuan on the other end of the phone immediately sat up, and he seemed to sense some unpleasant emotions in his voice.
"Find a safe place and wait for me. I'll be right there."
"OK."
Ji Yuan glanced at the naked Bronsky beside him and decided to go find him some clothes.
This isn't a movie; there are no indestructible underpants here. When he transformed, his clothes and pants were already bursting, not to mention that Ji Yuan transformed into Nexus and gave him a thorough beating.
After covering Bronsky with a blanket, Ji Yuan took to the sky again.
Xiao Bai extended a beam of light, connecting to the phone containing Jarvis. This was a new function that Ji Yuan had gained after continuously enhancing Xiao Bai.
Simply put, it can connect to Jarvis via light to gain internet access, and currently, the purpose of connecting to Jarvis is for navigation.
The Magic Cloak version uses auto-navigation, since the distance is so far, only Jarvis's location can find Natasha.
After sleeping with Natasha for so long, Ji Yuan discovered that this woman was actually very sensitive and had many psychological problems.
In fact, Marvel's superheroes all seem to have some psychological issues to varying degrees.
For example, Natasha's post-traumatic stress disorder, trust disorder, and emotional alienation are characterized by extreme restraint in her emotions.
Then there's Stark, whose psychological problems are extremely complex, including post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and fear of death, guilt over the harm he caused to innocent people with the weapons he created, and some paranoid traits, among others.
Banner's split personality, Daredevil's conflict between faith and behavior, Wanda's PSTD and depression, etc.
Oh, and there's also our sturdy Captain Steve, with his extreme loneliness caused by the time warp, his extreme sense of responsibility, his absolutism of morality, his repressed emotions, and other psychological issues.
He was an idealist torn apart by the times, crushed by responsibility, and tormented by guilt.
Ji Yuan discovered that he seemed to have many things he wanted to do, such as helping the superheroes he had only seen on screen to step out of the shadows in his heart. Wasn't that a kind of achievement?
Lost in thought, Ji Yuan was already close to Natasha's hiding place. After instructing Xiao Bai to tie up Bronsky, Ji Yuan slowly left.
"Knock knock knock~"
A knock sounded at the door, and when Natasha saw that it really was that familiar person, she didn't say anything, opened the door and kissed him directly.
"Natasha... mmm mmm."
Nothing was said that night; we did some things we liked.
Ji Yuan once again took Bronsky into the sky.
He had already learned the gist of it from Natasha: Fury had called Natasha to tell her that he was dead.
Natasha was too worried about herself to react immediately. Only after she finished did she suddenly realize that Fury, that scoundrel, was plotting against her.
The purpose was to ascertain the actual relationship between Ji Yuan and Natasha, and perhaps that braised egg was harboring some wicked thoughts.
"It's no wonder that becoming the world's number one corrupt official is not so simple."
Ji Yuan smiled.
"Fury, Fury, all your scheming is useless. I have the power to flip the table."
The magic cloak whipped up a whirlwind as it headed towards New York.
