Chapter 316 Fighting for the Soul

If his parents died in an accident, Tony Stark could insist on his own idea that it would be unethical for the Ark reactor to compensate for his regrets. But Tang Lin actually said that his parents' death was not an accident, but a murder?

Tony Stark turned around and looked at Nick Fury with red eyes. Nick Fury didn't know how to react other than frowning. Howard Stark was murdered? I had never heard of it at all. Given his status at the time, if it was murder, how could SHIELD not investigate it?

Nick Fury's first reaction was that Tang Lin was cheating on Tony Stark, but after thinking about it for a few more seconds, he realized that this logic didn't make sense. Tang Lin's purpose was obvious, which was to get Tony Stark to hand over the Ark reactor and steel armor technology to him, and resurrecting Tony's parents was a task that had to be completed.

The truth will be revealed once Howard Stark is resurrected and whether he was murdered. Tang Lin couldn't be deceived. If this was a scam, given Howard's character, he might rather die again than let Tony hand over the technology.

In this way, Tang Lin's efforts were definitely in vain.

Therefore, the reason why Tang Lin had this confidence must be because the murder was true. One of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D. was actually murdered, but S.H.I.E.L.D. had no idea. This possibility caused Nick Fury to have complex emotions such as "What's going on in this country," being confused, and feeling chilled.

If this is true, SHIELD may have a big problem.

Nick Fury couldn't help but want to confirm the truth of the matter, so he asked Tang Lin: "Mr. Tang, you said that Howard was murdered, do you have any evidence?"

Tang Lin pointed to the sky, and then said: "Since you have investigated the identities of Thor and Loki, you should understand that Asgard has a very close relationship with Nordic mythology. Then you should also know that Asgard has a gatekeeper. The man is called Heimdall, and his eyes are similar to the Rainbow Bridge. He can penetrate time and space and see everything on the earth. He was the one who told me about Howard Stark’s assassination.”

Heimdall, just take the blame. Anyway, you usually peek at the daily lives of girls on Earth.

Hearing Tang Lin's statement, Nick Fury had no doubts. The Rainbow Bridge can accurately land at the same place twice. It is impossible to say that Asgard does not have a way to observe the earth. But Tang Lin's words made Nick Fury couldn't help but think more. Did Heimdall see Howard being murdered by such a coincidence, and still record it in his heart and tell others?

What does the murder of an Earthling have to do with them, the Nordic gods, and why is Heimdall staring? In other words, this group of Nordic protoss has always been very concerned about the earth, so it is only reasonable that the top executives of SHIELD have always been under Asgard's surveillance.

Tony Stark didn't get an answer from Nick Fury and couldn't determine the truth about his parents' death, but he had a higher IQ than Nick Fury, so he could naturally figure out the problem.

It was impossible for Tang Lin to lie about something that would be exposed.

Therefore, the parents were really murdered, and Nick Fury didn't even know about it, which means SHIELD didn't have any clue. Even the largest espionage and intelligence organization in the world didn't know about it, so besides Tang Lin, it would be difficult for Tony Stark to find other clues.

Tony Stark had no choice at all. As long as he wanted to know the truth, he could only agree to Tang Lin's request. When there is no other choice, smart people often don't waste time getting entangled, so Tony Stark said to Tang Lin: "As long as you resurrect my parents and prove that they were murdered, then I will promise you anything." ."

Tang Lin smiled, and Tony Stark finally compromised. To be honest, Tang Lin didn't want to use the Sharingan to hypnotize Tony Stark. This man's greatest value was his wisdom. After being hypnotized, even his autonomy disappeared. Tang Linzhen used two sets of steel armors as figurines. ? It doesn't make much sense.

Seeing that the two had reached a settlement, the SHIELD people were busy collecting the gold. You know, the national gold reserves are only a few thousand tons. Even if the purity of the gold sand in front of you is not high, you can probably melt out almost a ton. Throwing this money away can turn the US stock market into a roller coaster. If it can be used to fund SHIELD, there will be no need to look at the face of the World Security Council in the next two years.

When it comes to resurrecting Howard Stark, SHIELD will be responsible for trivial matters such as digging up the coffin. Tony Stark, as his son, will of course accompany him throughout the process, while Tang Lin only needs to wait inside the SHIELD base.

With Tony Stark's consent, SHIELD's actions were very efficient. Tang Lin only waited less than an hour before seeing two decaying coffins delivered to him.

Tony Stark's parents have been dead for twenty years, so the coffin is considered to be of good quality if it doesn't turn directly into sawdust.

The coffin is intact and is just waiting to be opened by Tony Stark himself.

Tony Stark stood next to the two coffins with a crowbar and said to Tang Lin very seriously: "If you are lying to me, tell me the truth now. I can pretend that nothing happened. After all, You saved my life. But if I open the coffin and you can't resurrect them at all, then you are my mortal enemy, Tony Stark, and I will use all my methods to kill you for the rest of my life!"

Tang Lin also said seriously: "I never make fun of other people's parents, but you also have to think about it. If I resurrect your parents and prove that what I said is true, then you owe me a real person." It’s a great favor.”

"I will give you the information on the Ark reactor and steel armor." Tony Stark said.

"What do I want with that kind of thing? I can't swing a hammer, and you can't knock out the Ark reactor even if you give me the blueprints." Tang Lin said to Tony Stark.

"Then what do you want? This is the most valuable thing in my body."

Tony Stark was a little panicked after hearing Tang Lin's words. He had always thought that what Tang Lin wanted was his Ark reactor and steel armor. Why had it changed now? Tony Stark is now worried that he can't afford the price Tang Lin wants.

"What I want is actually your cooperation with me."

"Cooperation? Are you in the arms business?"

Tony Stark asked worriedly. After he became Iron Man, he shut down the arms business and switched to clean energy to fight against the Saudi oil consortium. Because Tony Stark has seen the damage caused by war, if the weapons he designed fall into the hands of others, it will have very serious consequences.

However, since he could even hand over the core technology, even if Tang Lin asked him to help make missiles, Tony would have no choice but to agree.

"Don't worry, I'm not a war maniac. I also need your weapons, but I need your wisdom. Let me tell you honestly, I own a very huge territory, but the technological development in the territory is a bit uneven. I don't lack military power. , but you haven’t done very well in terms of people’s livelihood. Therefore, aren’t you just developing clean energy? I hope that Stark Industries can help my territory complete the energy transformation.” Tang Lin explained.

The combat effectiveness of steel armor and the like was not as good as that of the ship girl created by Tang Lin using the source of fire. She was crushed by the armor and firepower alone. What is truly valuable is the Ark Reactor, a clean and renewable energy source. Drawings alone are not enough. Only Tony Stark can maximize the energy of the Ark Reactor.

The storage space has been integrated with the world of A Chinese Ghost Story. If the ancient world wanted to develop, magic alone was far from enough. How many years will it take to enlighten the people and develop science and technology by relying solely on the indigenous people?

Although Transformers like Yina can be asked to help, they are not strictly speaking Tang Lin's subordinates, but a free race. Tang Lin does not think that he can do whatever he wants because he is their creator.

Moreover, the technology of Transformers is actually not very suitable for human development. The language and energy system they use come from the fire source. If they want to transform it into technology that humans can use, it will have to be translated and adjusted slowly, which will take a long time. time.

In comparison, Tony Stark's energy project would be more suitable. At the worst, Stark Industries could open a branch in Ghost Story World and be responsible for the infrastructure construction of the entire world. Tang Lin could pay for it with gold or other resources.

Tang Lin is not afraid that Stark Industries can play a monopoly. In a world where "gods" exist, and a world where the space channel is controlled by himself, Tang Lin has the ability to destroy the world and flip the table at any time. Therefore, as long as Tony Stark is not stupid, he will never engage in such monopoly and overhead operations.

It's a win-win!

After listening to Tang Lin's explanation carefully, Tony Stark did not expect that Tang Lin's request was simpler than he thought. Wasn't it just to develop another planet? This was an opportunity that no one could grab. If Tang Lin released a planet suitable for human habitation and invited bids for infrastructure projects from all over the world, I am afraid that every country in the world would be competing for money.

"No problem, I guarantee that Stark Industries will go all out!" Tony Stark said, patting his chest. After the wound on his chest healed, he started to have this habit of patting his chest whenever he had time, for fear that the wound would reappear.

"In that case, just open the coffin." Tang Lin said.

Tony Stark, no longer worried, used a crowbar to open one of the coffins. Tang Lin took a look inside and saw a corpse that had corroded to the point of leaving only bones lying inside. Judging from the remains of clothes, this should be Tony Stark's mother.

Tang Lin also delayed time and directly used his time retrieval ability. Golden lightning fell on this corpse, and more than twenty years of time began to rewind rapidly.

Every second, the corpse is changing. From the white bones, internal organs and flesh and blood are regrown, then muscles and skin, and even the clothes on the body are rapidly recovering. It quickly changed from a state of bones to a body full of flesh and blood, but soon turned into a state of scars.

"How could this happen?!" Tony Stark asked nervously.

"Don't worry, Tony. Your parents were murdered, and you're just back to where they were when she was murdered."

Tang Lin continued to use his time retrieval ability to restore Tony's mother to the state before the accident. Soon, the skeletal corpse resumed its breathing and heartbeat, as if it was asleep.

Seeing that he had regained his vitality, Tang Lin quickly stopped his hand, but it seemed that he still used too much force. The originally white-haired woman seemed to have returned to her thirties, and she looked younger than Tony Stark. a little.

Seeing this scene in front of him, Tony Stark couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but he couldn't complain to Tang Lin. What are you talking about, saying that Tang Lin made his mother too young and asked him to change her back? If my mother found out about this, wouldn't she slap her butt so hard if she turned around?

Forget it, don't rush this matter, at worst, Tang Lin will get a chance to get him a rejuvenation package in the future.

Seeing that the golden lightning had disappeared, Tony Stark walked over and tried to shake his mother awake. After just a few pushes, he found that she seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, and no matter how much she shouted, there was no response.

"What's going on?" Tony Stark asked.

Tang Lin was also a little surprised. This was the first time he resurrected a corpse that was so long ago. Could this be a problem? And when Tang Lin controlled the sand puppet and walked over, he sensed a change in the lotus's appearance.

A black pattern of six rays of reincarnation flashed on the lotus. It seemed that there was a pulling force that pulled the soul of Tony Stark's mother back from the void and pressed it on this physical body. .

However, this pulling process seemed to be disturbed by something. Tang Lin vaguely heard an angry roar, and a hot and evil force wanted to invade his lotus form. It's just that this power disappeared into the lotus dharma, and was completely swallowed up in less than half a second. Instead, it restored some of the missing six paths of reincarnation.

Tang Lin also realized at this time that time regression can only affect the body and cannot affect the soul. So the body can recover, but the memory will not disappear. Tony Stark's mother has been dead for many years, and even if the soul exists, it should have been away from the body for a long time.

If Tang Lin hadn't obtained the Six Laws of A Chinese Ghost Story, it would have been difficult for him to pull her soul back from somewhere.

However, because Tony Stark's mother is a soul that was brought back by the Lotus Flower, it is almost equivalent to the soul going through reincarnation in the Lotus Flower, but it is recorded in the Six Principles of the Lotus Flower.

If Tang Lin could materialize the Book of Life and Death at this time, he would see that the name Maria Collins Carbone Stark was the mother of Tony Stark. With names recorded in the book of life and death, the fate of life and death is in Tang Lin's hands.

This was an accident. Tang Lin really never thought of using this method to control Tony Stark.

After her soul returned to its original place, Tony Stark's mother quickly opened her eyes and said doubtfully: "Where...where is this? You, what, are you Tony?"

As expected of a mother-son connection, even though Tony Stark had aged more than twenty years, he still recognized him instantly.

However, who had this soul fallen into before and he snatched it away, which seemed to have provoked another enemy.

"Tony, rescue your father first," Tang Lin reminded.

Tony Stark nodded, did not continue to explain to his mother, and quickly opened another coffin.

Tang Lin secretly had a plan in mind to resurrect Howard Stark, not knowing whether he would encounter that power again. He was unprepared just now, but if he fights for the soul again this time, there might be some surprises, and Tang Lin must be prepared.

However, shockingly, the coffin was empty and contained no bones of Howard Stark at all.

Street fighting daily:

Today, the big guys in the driving group are talking about tax refunds. The personal income tax has been changed, and it seems that the tax rate for manuscript fees has also been changed. I saw the big bosses saying sadly that not only were royalties not refundable, but they had to be paid back. I thought to myself that I could finally have a good time. I was going to take a screenshot of my tax refund amount to rub some salt into the wounds of the bosses, and then I discovered...the refund was for last year's tax, and last year, I had no royalties at all.

(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

That’s all for tonight. I was originally short by 2,000 words, but I can’t stay up late tonight, so I’ll take half a day off.
