Serious People, Who is Learning Magic at Marvel?

"Strange's account is as featureless and lackluster as his own."

Tony, wearing sunglasses, showed his talent as soon as he took the stage. The eloquence that never subsided made Strange in the audience laugh helplessly.

"But I'm different, gentlemen and ladies. I'll tell you a heart-pounding, terrific story. It's a tribute to our common hero, and a tribute to what he's done for us. And I Trust that his journey will not end there."

After the initial gags, Tony's expression was extremely serious.

"People say that true death means no one can remember. From that perspective, I believe, what is immortality."

Without lingering too long on the opening scene, Tony quickly entered the story. In his story, He Shenyan, who had no scruples to save the baby with his own flesh and blood, showed another side.

-------------------------------------

"Kill me, please, kill me!"

A woman was wailing frantically. She was tied to a cross and her body kept twitching. The part of the skin that came into contact with the cross hissed, and the flesh was scalded and twisted.

He Shenyan stood in front of her with a serious expression, and Tony in a suit stood beside him, his face twitching.

Just looking at this picture, the uninformed might think that the two of them are psychopaths who enjoy torture, but in fact, they are thinking about a solution.

——To put it more strictly, only He Shenyan was thinking. Tony was just standing there, he couldn't hold back.

After a while, He Shenyan sighed.

"What's wrong?" Tony asked.

"Her soul has completely merged with the evil spirit bound in her body." He Shenyan explained briefly. "There is no way to remove the influence. From now on, she will have to live under the influence of that evil spirit."

"Why did you tie her to the cross?"

"Things related to the Christian faith can suppress the activity of such things as evil spirits. I need her own will to dominate, not evil spirits."

"But she...looked miserable.

"

Tony looked at the woman who kept wailing, took a step back, and said these words through gritted teeth.

"Of course she was in pain."

He Shenyan said softly: "It's not just as simple as suffering. Human beings who are forced to merge with evil spirits will suffer unprecedented mental pain. They will be dragged into illusions by evil spirits over and over again, where they will suffer terrifying torture. and phantoms."

"Before we found her, she had been tortured by evil spirits for three days. She didn't collapse, and she was considered strong-willed. But being tied to a cross is not painful for her now."

"Gene Era"

"Physical pain can reduce the mental influence from evil spirits. She asked me to kill her because she didn't want to be dragged into the illusion and tortured again. That's all."

Tony felt dry mouth and cold hands and feet.

Although He Shenyan's narration has no emotion, he is a very delicate and sensitive person. Such people tend to be imaginative—in other words, Tony can easily scare himself. The kind of scene the mage described made him unable to help but enter.

Then, he was frightened.

Tony Stark can face the threat of terrorists with his physical body without changing his face, and can fall vertically from tens of thousands of meters in battle armor. But that was the field he knew, that was the field of technology. But now he was in contact with a completely unfamiliar world.

"So, what are we going to do?" he asked impatiently. "Is there any way I can help her?"

Facing Tony's question, He Shenyan just shook his head.

"Killing her is the best help for her." He said these words without emotion. "Actually, Tony, I was going to do that."

"what?"

Tony stopped in front of him and the woman tied to the cross with a single stride, and waved his hands again and again: "No, no. He, there must be other ways, right? Killing her is too cruel!"

"It's not cruel, Tony."

He Shenyan stood quietly, with some emotions in his eyes that Tony couldn't understand. At the same time, the woman they rescued from the cult sacrifice scene has gradually disappeared, as if she had fallen asleep.

"You don't understand." The mage said in a low voice. "For her, death is a relief. She can no longer continue to live as a human being. Even if I can solve the entanglement between her soul and evil spirits, she will carry those horrors for the rest of her life. memory passed.”

"Every night, she wakes up. As time goes on, she even loses the ability to speak, because the pain is beyond the threshold of human beings. Tony...There are some things that humans should not touch."

He Shenyan gently pushed him away and came to the woman who was tied to the cross.

At this time, she just opened her eyes. The brown eyes were numb, and there was a low whine in her throat - not that she didn't want to scream, but that she had lost her strength.

A slight wind flashed through the room, Tony couldn't help squinting his eyes, and when he opened it again, He Shenyan had already embraced the woman in his arms. The blood on her body was stained on his black robe, and He Shenyan looked into her eyes calmly without saying a word.

"I will kill you." After a long silence, He Shenyan said softly.

The corner of the woman's mouth, which had lost her lips, twitched as if she was smiling. She raised her hand tremblingly and barely placed it on He Shenyan's right face. Gently hang it, leaving a bloodstain. Tony heard a small whimper as he stepped forward, his fingers trembling.

"Ho-" The woman made a sound of inhalation from her throat, and then her eyes brightened. "—Thank you, thank you."

Her impersonal body trembled, and demons roamed her body. It has already sensed the arrival of something, and at this time it is frantically rushing in the woman's body, wanting to leave this body and find the next host. However, a hand pressed on the woman's forehead, ending its movement.

It also ended the suffering of women.

Her body no longer trembled with pain, and the blood stains all over her body dissipated. The scars all over her body began to heal quickly, the lips that disappeared reappeared, she no longer screamed, no longer in pain.

The rest, only peace.

This time, she said in a clear voice, "Thank you, sir. Thank you."

"That was the first lesson I learned from him."

"I used to be very stubborn and always wanted to take everything on my shoulders. Because, I think if you have the ability to do it or not, it is no different from a crime. However, even He can't save a woman's life, and I What are you holding on to?"

Tony spread his hands: "After many years, I still remember that scene. He finally buried the poor woman in the cemetery and died as normal. He couldn't save her, but he gave her dignity."
