Chapter 39 A World That Should Not Exist

Vision's body lay quietly in the coffin-like operating table. He was gray-black in color, as if all the colors in his body had been stripped away by some kind of energy.

The wound on Vision's forehead was hideous and terrifying. It was caused by Thanos' brute force. Looking inside the wound, one could see some corporate circuits and copper wires, which were exactly the same as the document photo that Ms. Kalina had taken out before.

If you ignore the wounds and color and just look at the appearance, then Vision's body is absolutely no different from a normal human, but in this state, his inhuman structure is exposed.

Su Ze didn't know what his mentality was at this moment. He just stared at the corpse in front of him with great complexity. Although he knew that even heroes would die, Su Ze still couldn't calm down when he actually saw the body of an Avenger in front of him.

Is this the danger of this world? If I take a wrong step, will my body be put on a table like Vision's and studied at will?

After observing for a long time, Su Ze secretly suppressed his inner thoughts and looked up at Su Rui with a frown. "Are you sure you can cure him?"

"To be honest, I'm not sure." Shuri answered truthfully. "The power of the Infinity Stones is unfamiliar to all of us. If it's just to transform and activate Vision's body functions and restart his brain neuron system, maybe I can give it a try, but without the Mind Stone, I'm not sure if 'he' will be the original 'him'."

"So." Su Ze narrowed his eyes slightly, and the image of White Vision in the American TV series "WandaVision" flashed through his mind. "Even if Vision is repaired, he won't retain his original memory, right?"

"That's the theory, but I haven't started the research yet, so I can't be sure, but I'm 80% sure that this is the result."

Su Rui's finger slid across the translucent projection screen, and then a golden gem projection appeared in mid-air, emitting a captivating glow that made people unable to help but fall into it at first sight.

"This is the test I did before to separate the Mind Gem from Vision's body. Judging from the graph and the reflection effect, Vision's thoughts and consciousness seem to be interacting with the Mind Gem. Without the gem, he will definitely be affected."

"But Vision is a robot, right? And an artificial intelligence at that. He should have his own database. Can't you try to find his original memories and instill them in?" Su Ze asked.

"It's not that simple. Although Vision is an advanced computer, his brain is completely different from the existing artificial intelligence system. I have learned about his past from Mr. Banner. He was conceived by Jarvis, Ultron, and the Mind Stone. This is an achievement that is almost impossible to replicate."

Hearing this, Su Ze also fell into silence. He turned his gaze back to Vision's body seriously, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

Shu Rui's meaning was very clear. Vision had completely lost his original thinking, and no one knew whether his memory backup could be found in his current body.

If one wants to try to find the remaining memories of Vision, then one must reactivate his neurons and internal systems, which requires a lot of time and materials.

Of course, these are just relatively simple preliminary preparations. The problem now is that no one can be sure that Vision's memory backup exists. If you actively activate and repair him, but fail to find the memory backup, then you will be in big trouble.

And the most important thing is that even if Vision’s memory backup is found, there is no guarantee that Vision will return to his previous appearance.

It is even possible that Vision, who has updated his own system, will become the second Ultron.

No one wants to take responsibility for this kind of result, which is the result of creating a mechanical madman capable of destroying the world out of thin air. Tony Stark's behavior in the past has already been a precedent.

Just as Su Ze was thinking, suddenly, his vision gradually blurred, and slowly, a sense of distortion spread from the wound on Vision's forehead.

For no reason, Su Ze suddenly felt dizzy. This feeling was exactly the same as when he was looking at the files about Vision before.

Forcing himself to steady himself, Su Ze raised his hand, rubbed his eyes and looked again, only to see countless tiny and strange words slowly rising from the slightly trembling air.

【Mind (Broken Wounds)】

[The purest spiritual power of all things in the world remains, born from an indescribable concept, including the continuation of multiple spiritual levels such as thoughts, consciousness and emotions. ]

[It represents the basic cognitive ability of all things, and is a theory that is independent of the spiritual world and the material world.] [In this world that should not exist, the power of the mind has broken free from its shackles and affected other worlds. Now, all that remains here is a trace of its afterglow left on the original carrier.]

Su Ze doesn't know enough about this world.

Originally he thought that these were the movies he knew in his previous life, but at this moment, he just felt that he seemed to have thought things a little too simply.

Looking at the bloody words in front of him, Su Ze keenly discovered that the description of these words did not mention the "Mind Gem", but directly called it "Mind".

The source of the power of the Mind Stone is indeed mainly mind. It is the singularity formed by the spiritual power of all things in the world when the universe was created. But for some reason, Su Ze always feels that there are other meanings hidden in it.

Moreover, regarding the sentence "a world that shouldn't exist", Su Ze always felt that his eyelids were twitching a little bit.

What is the world that shouldn't exist? Is it the world I'm in now? Why shouldn't this world exist? This is clearly the sacred timeline. Could it be that this universe is different from the world I know, or even hides a bigger secret that I haven't discovered yet?
"what happened to you?"

Suddenly, Su Rui's voice sounded beside him, waking Su Ze from his thoughts.

"Did you hear what I just said? Regarding Vision, I can only perform the most basic tests now. As for activating or restoring it, that still requires the authorization of the Avengers. I talked to Captain Rogers yesterday, and he did not recommend that I take action immediately."

"Oh, sorry, I was distracted just now." Su Ze pinched his eyebrows. After he came to his senses, he suddenly realized that his forehead was covered with sweat.

He took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly. After reading those bloody words, Su Ze felt his brain was extremely confused.

"I think both of us have achieved our goals, Your Highness, I don't need to stay here anymore."

Su Ze waved his hand, turned and walked towards the door.

After getting these new clues, Su Ze now just wants to figure out what is different about this world as soon as possible.

And the most important thing is, the Mind Gem... No, the power of the mind has affected other worlds. What exactly does this sentence mean and what worlds are the other worlds referring to?

"Don't you have any other suggestions, Agent Kaia?"

Seeing Su Ze's departing back, Su Rui's mouth curled up slightly, and a look of admiration appeared in his eyes.

"suggestion?"

Su Ze stopped when he reached the door. Vision's body no longer had any appeal to him. For him, staying alive was the most important thing.

And a world that shouldn't exist is obviously not a safe place.

"You really should have listened to Rocket."

Suze said.

"After we recover Vision's body, we should just melt this thing down."

After saying that, Su Ze left the laboratory without looking back.
