Chapter 212
Under the temptation of eternal youth and eternal beauty.
Pepper accepted Leon’s gift without much hesitation.
Then she flew in the sky for most of the day in the golden energy.
It was not until the sky was getting dark that she flew back to Los Angeles with Tony.
It turned out that Pepper’s adaptability was indeed very strong.
Just like the last time she accepted Tony’s serum enhancement.
It only took two nights for Pepper to become familiar with the application of photon energy.
The price was that Tony turned into a battle-damaged version with a pale face and sunken eye sockets.
Of course, the price was also the mansion built on the cliff of the Los Angeles coast.
In two nights, the mansion had become a wreck.
“You can never imagine how crazy Pepper is now.”
On the morning of the third day, Tony complained to Leon on the projection phone.
“She actually wanted to hold me and fly in the clouds, and she didn’t allow me to wear armor!”
“I think we made a wrong decision, Leon, Pepper… Hey, hey! Stop, Leon is still here, don’t… Oh! No!”
In the projection on Leon’s side.
The last picture was Tony being pulled out of the camera by a glowing arm that entered the camera, and he hung up the call.
“This…” In the Brooklyn apartment, Leon and Wanda beside him looked at each other.
Wanda came to give feedback on the progress of chaos magic practice today.
Tony’s complaint came in a hurry and ended in a hurry.
The two people sitting opposite each other seemed to be able to imagine the painful and happy picture of Tony in Los Angeles thousands of kilometers away at this time.
“Well.” Leon broke the silence, “They… probably went to steal grapes. Grapes in Los Angeles are a bit expensive recently.”
Wanda looked at the blank projection, her cheeks flushed: “I, I think so too.”
But she obviously didn’t think so in her heart.
Because Leon could clearly hear Wanda’s heartbeat gradually accelerating.
There was silence between the two for a few seconds.
Leon looked at Wanda’s slightly dazed face and suddenly said, “Wanda, do you think… the price of grapes in New York has also increased in the past few days?”
This perfect atmosphere and heartbeat range made him feel that he should do something.
“Ah?” Wanda didn’t understand Leon’s meaning for a while.
But when she turned her head and met Leon’s eyes.
Because of the imagination of the scene on Tony’s side, her heartbeat slightly accelerated, and suddenly missed a beat.
“What, what do you mean?” She subconsciously avoided his sight, and her expression was like a frightened rabbit.
But the more she dodged, the closer Leon got to her.
As the distance got closer, Wanda was completely panicked.
She could even hear her own heartbeat, the frequency was so fast that her breathing was accelerated.
And Leon could hear it too.
Those rapid sounds completely exposed Wanda’s state to Leon.
At this time, super hearing suddenly had the effect of reading minds.
He followed the sound of his heartbeat and approached Wanda: “I mean, do you want to…”
“Ah, hug me, sorry!” Without giving Leon a chance to finish, Wanda suddenly closed her eyes and interrupted loudly.
She waved her hands randomly, as if she wanted to drive Leon away, and as if she wanted to drive away all the thumping sounds.
This girl who always carries a layer of melancholy on weekdays.
At this moment, she suddenly became smart.
It was as if a girl who had died long ago due to suffering had been resurrected in her heart,
was pulled out of a grave by the thumping and accelerating heartbeat,
and was unprepared to face something sour and sweet.
She stood up with her hands on her ears, her fair face flushed, and she fled to the door in a panic.
She even tripped over the sofa.
But after she fell down, she immediately stumbled up with her hair loose, and then ran away.
“I just remembered that it’s my turn to cook today, I… I have to go back quickly!”
Wanda’s voice escaped from the apartment with the sound of the door closing, and even used chaos magic to speed up.
But the heartbeats were beating out of panic every time.
There was no slowdown until Wanda returned to her apartment.
Leon could even hear Wanda throwing herself on the bed, covering her head with a blanket, and rolling around with strange noises.
Super hearing combined all these subtle sounds and painted a vivid picture in his mind.
Then the picture was quickly blocked.
A barrier formed by chaos magic blocked his hearing in shame.
Obviously Wanda had discovered everything.
“This… super hearing should not be considered peeping.” Leon suppressed his hearing awkwardly.
…
For three days, Tony was in pain and happy, and Pepper was always happy.
And Captain Marvel, who lost her extraordinary power, was always immersed in pain.
Her pain was multifaceted.
The day after being handed over to the United Nations, Carol was publicly tried.
The International Court of Justice’s caseTrials generally require a long preparation time, and a longer trial process may even take a full year.
But Carol’s act of collusion with the enemy this time gave her preferential treatment in terms of time.
Tony submitted sufficient evidence on the same day, and with the unanimous consent of all members of the court, the trial began the next day.
The entire trial process was broadcast live.
Under the watchful eyes of all mankind, Carol was sentenced to life imprisonment for serious crimes that seriously endangered human security.
She was transferred to the “Raft” prison that day.
During the escort, every time she appeared, she was surrounded by countless hostile eyes.
In the crowd of onlookers, from adults to children, all glared at her.
Even during the handover, she was stabbed twice.
The killer rushed out from the police officers.
One shot with a gun, and the other drew a knife and stabbed from behind.
Carol was seriously injured before she was sent to prison.
She had no choice but to be transferred to a nearby hospital for temporary rescue.
But in order not to cause trouble.
After ensuring her life was safe, the escort team set off again.
Carol was already dying when she was imprisoned in the “Raft” prison.
But physical pain was secondary.
She was hostile to the whole world along the way.
The pressure she faced.
Her spirit had already reached the brink of collapse.
Carol was in a trance.
Her once beautiful hometown was now like hell to her.
The whole world seemed to be her enemy, and everyone hated her.
When she entered the prison, she met Nick Fury, an old friend who was locked in a transparent room.
When she saw him, he also saw her.
Carol was a little excited at that moment, thinking that she at least had the support of a friend.
But who would have thought that Nick Fury rushed up immediately after seeing her and slapped the wall of the transparent room hard.
“Carol! How could you let those Super Skrulls escape! How could you do that!”
Nick Fury’s eyes were red. He believed that it was Carol’s interference that distracted Superman and let the most dangerous Super Skrulls go.
“Nick… No, I, I just…” Carol was speechless.
Unexpectedly, even her last old friend was questioning her.
At this time, Carol really felt that the world had collapsed.
Even the air she breathed into her lungs seemed to be filled with the world’s malice towards her.
The huge impact made Carol feel dizzy.
Her lips trembled, her eyes went black, and she completely lost consciousness.
When she woke up again, she had been locked up in a transparent cell.
The guards around her looked at her with hatred and hatred.
It is said that the moment she was sentenced to be imprisoned in the “Raft” prison.
The application system for guards in the “Raft” prison was instantly overwhelmed by the swarm of applicants and crashed.
Now most of the guards in this prison are humans who have been harmed by the Skrulls, or relatives of those humans.
They monitored her.
Even if they did not make any extra moves.
Their eyes seemed to say that they would definitely blame her for all the harm she suffered from the Skrulls.
Carol curled up and trembled like a little animal. Finally, she couldn’t help but ask herself what she had done before.
