Cheating players in Marvel

"Cracked?"

Turning on the bedside lamp and looking down at the pendant held in Pepper's hand, Stark also showed a look of surprise.

Just like what Pepper said, among the two gems inlaid on the back of the cross-shaped pendant, the one at the lower end has indeed cracked... No, it should be said that it has been shattered. It's just because the inlay is very strong, so

It didn't completely disintegrate and fall off.

'How could this happen?' Stark subconsciously began to recall: 'Except for taking it off when taking a shower, it has been worn around the neck at other times. Not to mention falling and bumping, the possibility of scratching is close to

None. That's wrong. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be...'

As I was thinking about it, I suddenly remembered the origin of this pendant and the words I heard when I got it.

"Ah~!" Stark sat up suddenly, eyes wide open, and shouted suddenly: "I understand!"

Frightened by her boyfriend's sudden behavior, Pepper also exclaimed.

The sleepiness that had just arisen disappeared. Looking at the back that was sitting upright, Pepper held the quilt to her chest with one hand, and reached out with the other hand to pat Stark's arm: "Tony? Tony?"

There was no response for the first few calls. After a few seconds, Stark finally turned around and looked at Pepper with shock in his eyes.

His lips moved, but no words came out. He raised his hands again, and rubbed his head vigorously for a while as if he was mad...

After a few seconds of "ah", he vented some of his extremely chaotic emotions. Finally, Stark regained his language skills: "Pepper, I understand. I understand everything~!"

"Tony, what's wrong with you? Do you understand? What are you talking about? Don't scare me~." The more he looked at it, the more frightened he felt. Because of Stark's possessed behavior, Pepper couldn't help but worry, and his face showed

An uneasy look.

"No, listen to me." Stark sat up on the bed with his backhand, turned ninety degrees, and regardless of the lump on his crotch facing Pepper, he took off the pendant from his neck with great excitement.

He hung it in front of Pepper's eyes: "Pepper, do you remember what this thing is called? Remember what Locke said when he gave them to us?"

"Well..." Seeing how excited Stark was, Pepper also sat up: "Let me think about it. If I remember correctly, it seems to be..."

Before Pepper could answer, Stark had already shouted: "This thing is called the Ankh of Rebirth! Yes, that's the name. Do you remember? Locke said it very seriously at the time, let us wear it.

We also said that this thing can save our lives in a life-or-death situation."

"I remembered." Reminded by Stark's words, Pepper's eyes cleared: "It seems that's what he said."

"It doesn't seem like it, he did say it." He clenched his fist with great certainty, holding an ankh in his hand. A look of fear appeared on Stark's face: "No wonder I was able to escape. Pepper, you

You know? If I hadn’t listened to Locke and kept wearing it, maybe, during the explosion that day, I would have..."

"No." Really not wanting to hear that word, Pepper quickly reached out her hand and covered Stark's mouth.

After thinking about it again, Pepper's expression couldn't remain calm and became a little more panicked and scared: "You mean, you were already alive at that time... was it because of it that you survived?"

"It must be so." First he nodded vigorously, and then, in order to further verify, Stark raised his head again: "Jarvis~!"

"I'm here, sir."

"Help me bring up the video records of that day..." Thinking that Pepper might not bear to watch it, Stark waved his hand and changed his words: "Forget it, is there any relevant data about that explosion? Help me list that out.

That’s fine.”

"yes, sir."

The white screen that was originally used for watching movies slowly lowered from the top of the wall. Then, a large amount of data that would give ordinary people a headache was sorted out by Jarvis and projected on the screen.

"Jarvis, do the math. With the defensive power of my armor at the time, what were the chances of surviving that explosion?"

"..." I don't know whether it took time to calculate the data, or whether he was worried about Pepper's mood. After a few seconds of delay, Jarvis finally responded: "According to my calculations, under that situation,

, your chance of survival is only 0.000003%."

"Nothing." He didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, he snapped his fingers excitedly. Turning to look at Pepper, Stark said excitedly: "Look, Pepper, the result is obvious. It's because of this thing.

, so I saved a life. By the way, do you still remember? Locke told us at that time

When saying these words, I gestured with two fingers and said that this pendant can only be effective twice. Look here, there are two gems inlaid behind it. I used it once, so one piece was broken. After the second effect,

The other piece should also be broken... Hahahaha, I understand, everything makes sense."

"Tony..." Not knowing how to respond, Pepper just stretched out a pair of arms and hugged Stark tightly.

"Ankh of rebirth, hahahaha, rebirth! Yes, yes, it must be like this." He opened his palms and looked at the cross-shaped pendant lying in his palms, glowing faintly under the light. Stark couldn't help but

Whispering.

It's a bit like being possessed by an evil spirit, which is somewhat scary.

But thinking of the answer given by Jarvis just now, Pepper not only did not let go of his arms, but actually hugged him tighter.

"Well." Finally feeling the force, Stark lowered his head in discomfort and looked at the lotus arms wrapped around his chest.

Only then did he realize that something was wrong with his emotions.

Stark took a long breath, barely suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and gently patted Pepper on the back: "Um, Pepper, don't hold me so tightly, okay? I can't breathe.

."

"Um."

He should have responded, but the strength in Pepper's arm didn't decrease much.

What should we do? Looking at Pepper, a thought flashed through Stark's mind, and it was also the only thought.

"Pepper."

"……."

"Pepper?"

"Um."

"Look at me."

When Pepper raised her head and met her eyes, Stark threw the pendant in his hand and crossed his arms.

With a gentle force on the waist, the two of them fell onto the soft bed at the same time.

"Jarvis, turn off the lights~!"

He lifted the cup and covered himself and Pepper. With his extremely excited mood, Stark once again extended an invitation to Pepper.

In the bedroom, which had already been quiet, the sounds of war gradually began to sound again.
