Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

"Sherlock is right. Digital life forms have far superior programming capabilities than we do. Leaving a few megabytes of data on a hard drive might be enough to allow them to be reborn."

So, Captain, I don't recommend that you take any of these hard drives, because any hard drive could be the chance to bring this digital human back to life!

More importantly, even if he does tell you about Bucky, there's no guarantee he'll be telling the truth. After all, he's done things like using himself as bait to try and take us both down with him.

As soon as Tony finished speaking, Captain America gave up on his idea of ​​getting information about Bucky from Zola. Instead, Zola seemed to have been seen through by Sherlock and his group, and roared at Zoe, who was like a robot beside him, in a bit of exasperation.

"Kill them all, leave no one alive!"

As Dr. Zola roared, Zoe, who looked like a robot, still maintained a smile on her face, but without the slightest hesitation, she rushed towards Sherlock and his group.

While running, Zoe even pulled two short knives out from her back.

The moment Zoe charged over, Tony raised his weapon and met her head-on. Almost instantly, Tony and Zoe were locked in combat.

When the captain saw this, he instinctively wanted to go and help, but Sherlock stopped him.

"Captain, don't move. This is Tony's fight. If you go up to help, Tony will never forgive Bucky for the rest of his life."

Seemingly persuaded by Sherlock, the captain glanced at Tony, who was fighting Zoe, and silently retreated after hearing Sherlock's words.

At that moment, Sherlock turned around, asked Black Widow for the small EMP bomb, placed it on the ground, and then addressed everyone.

“S.H.I.E.L.D. began with Tony’s father, flourished with Dr. Zola, and should rightfully end with Tony.”

Besides, Zola is Tony's father's killer. Let Tony decide for himself. This is Tony's own war, and we have no right to interfere, especially you, Captain.

Upon hearing Sherlock's words, everyone fell silent, especially the captain, whose gaze toward Tony, who was engaged in battle, was exceptionally complex.

Chapter 444 The True End of S.H.I.E.L.D. (Part 2)

Sherlock didn't try to hide anything when he said this; almost everyone present heard him clearly, including Zola and Tony, who was fighting.

Tony didn't respond. Instead, Zola, upon hearing Sherlock's words, broke down and started hurling insults at Tony in an attempt to distract him.

However, as it turned out, everything Zola did was in vain, as Tony easily dealt with Zoe, who seemed like a robot.

However, this scene left Zola in disbelief, his face filled with terror.

"Impossible! Tony, you can't possibly beat my Zoe without your armor! You've lied to me? What? Hacking? Data tampering?"

Dr. Zola seemed to be in a strange state, and along with his roar came the hum of the fans inside the server rack.

Seemingly somewhat impatient with Dr. Zola's voice, Tony casually used his shotgun to finish off Zoe, the poor wretch who had been a puppet her whole life, before frowning and glancing at the seemingly crazed Zola.

"There's nothing surprising about it. If you die thousands of times a day for seven days straight, you'll definitely have my strength too."

As Tony spoke, he walked toward the EMP bomb that Sherlock had placed on the ground. Dr. Zola, on the other hand, made the buzzing sound even louder after hearing Tony's reply.

"Death? Thousands of times?"

Tony's words were beyond Dr. Zola's comprehension. As a digital life form, Dr. Zola simply couldn't understand what Tony meant.

Tony had no intention of explaining anything to Dr. Zola. After picking up the EMP bomb that Sherlock had placed on the ground, Tony turned to look in Zola's direction, his face still bearing a mocking expression.

"Don't understand? That's normal. As a digital life form, your upper limit is fixed the moment you give up your physical body."

Do you really think you're smarter than my father? You can think of living as a digital life form, but my father couldn't? No, the truth is, my father thought of it a long time ago, but he just didn't put it into action.

The reason is simple: true geniuses disdain limiting themselves to a certain level, and all they get in return is the chance to survive.

Zola, compared to my father, you really can't be called a genius.

As Tony said this, Zola's expression on the screen became increasingly ferocious. Finally, amidst Zola's roar, Tony pressed the EMP bomb in his hand without any hesitation.

As a powerful electromagnetic wave swept across, the massive sphere of electronic devices in front of them burst into sparks in the blink of an eye, and the entire base was plunged into boundless darkness along with a burnt smell.

Sherlock pulled out several flashlights from his four-dimensional pocket and tossed them to everyone, then seemed to remember something and hurriedly started rummaging through his pockets.

The next second, Sherlock's face turned ashen, as if he had eaten shit, and he glared fiercely at Tony.

"Next time you're showing off, please tell me beforehand that my phone is broken!"

Seemingly reminded by Sherlock, Zhao Weike, Captain America, and even Black Widow all suddenly changed their expressions and began to pull out their phones in unison.

The four men stared at their phones, now reduced to bricks, their teeth grinding as they looked up at Tony. Tony, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened. He casually pulled out his own phone, successfully turned on the screen, and even swung it at the group with a cheeky grin.

"What? None of you guys have anti-EMP features? I thought you all did. I thought of that the moment my armor was built, and I added anti-EMP devices to all my electronic devices..."

"beat him!"

Before Tony could finish speaking, Sherlock couldn't hold back any longer and charged towards Tony with a roar.

Seeing Sherlock start the group, Zhao Weike and Black Widow followed almost instantly, while the captain stood there helplessly. On the one hand, the captain was not interested in these things, and even the phone in his hand was the most primitive black and white Nokia.

On the other hand, the captain was also genuinely afraid that if he got involved, he might cause Tony to suffer further injury.

Even without the captain's intervention, the three of them—Sherlock, Black Widow, and Zhao Weike—would be enough to give Tony a run for his money.

When Sherlock casually turned Dr. Zola's giant electronic sphere into ashes and the group walked out of the base, everyone had a relaxed and happy expression on their faces.

Except for Tony.

Yes, he had a bruised and swollen face.

Instead of getting beaten up by the enemy, he got beaten up by his own teammates. It can only be said that this was pure karma for Tony's stupidity.

Most importantly, because of the vibranium-infused combat suits they were wearing, the three thugs, led by Sherlock, specifically targeted Tony's face, even landing Sherlock's first punch on Tony's mouth to prevent him from begging for mercy.

If it weren't for Tony's quick thinking, enduring the pain to make a series of unequal treaties, things would have turned out much worse than just a bruised and swollen face.

Of course, the subsequent events still needed to be covered up to some extent.

The core area of ​​Dr. Zola's true body was planted with a large number of bombs, and the body of Zoe, or rather Peggy Gardner's substitute, Sherlock, was also preserved in that mansion.

After cleaning up the traces to make it look like an assassin seeking revenge, Sherlock detonated the bomb and used the Space Stone to open a portal, taking everyone home.

That evening, the group not only received new phones from Tony as compensation, but also got completely drunk at the PAB club, and the relationship between the captain and Tony was somewhat eased because of this drinking session.

But the next morning, Tony hurriedly asked Sherlock to take him home.

The reason is quite simple. According to Happy's report, a man from a biotech company has come to see Chili several times, and even met with her a few times in Europe. Happy suspects that he is trying to poach her.

Tony, of course, couldn't just stand by and watch his players be poached, so he charged back to Los Angeles like an enraged bull.

As for Sherlock, he didn't care. He went to Kamar-Taj to scold the Ancient One, picked up Doro, and then casually tossed Doro to Captain America and Black Widow.

Completely ignoring Doro's crying and tantrums, they forcefully made Doro train with Captain America and Black Widow for a period of time.

As for why Sherlock had the confidence to even curse the Ancient One, it's simple: the Ancient One practically crippled Doro, so how could Sherlock not be furious?

Even Sherlock, after arriving at Kamar-Taj, saw Doro half-hanging in the Ancient One's arms and wondered if he was seeing things.

In the end, they could only ignore Doro's crying and let the half-hanging Doro go with Captain America to lose weight. After all, apart from Captain America and Black Widow, they couldn't let Doro lose weight with Hana, who hadn't even come out of seclusion yet, right?

That was so cruel to Doro.

What, you mean Zhao Weike? Haha, that old guy's living the high life now with his wife and kids, a warm bed and a comfortable home. Training? Training my ass! He's already lucky he hasn't gained weight.

As for Sherlock himself, well, Sherlock has his own things to do and can't care about Doro's weight loss at all.

Chapter 445 Hiding and Playing with Shit

As for what Sherlock is so busy with that he's almost neglecting his adorable Doro?

It's very simple; it's just those random things that were taken out of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s anomalous items warehouse!

Sherlock had actually planned to dissect and learn about some things that interested him, but he completely forgot about it after suddenly going on a trip to space.

It wasn't until recently, when I encountered Zola in person and used the Heart of Chengdu to mock him, that I remembered it.

Of course, a large part of the reason why Sherlock went into seclusion in his studio was because Doro, that little devil, was particularly annoyed with Sherlock because he wanted to lose weight.

how to say?

When facing Doro, Sherlock truly felt like Old Man Doro meeting Ruoshui, no, even more helpless than this pair of lovable master and apprentice.

After all, Sherlock really can't beat Doro!

Especially with Doro's bag full of amazing items, there was absolutely no chance of winning.

In summary, they can't beat Doro in a fight, they can't outmaneuver him in a sneaky fight, and they can't even outmaneuver him by having outside help.

Sherlock's seclusion was partly due to his genuine curiosity about those strange and unusual things, and partly because he was truly at his wit's end.

Seeing that Sherlock had become completely withdrawn, Doro reluctantly decided to let him go.

Well, to be precise, he only lets Sherlock go at night when he's sleeping in the arms of Scarlett Johansson, Helen Keller, or Laura Dorothy. The next day, whenever training starts, Doro still can't resist the urge to rush into the studio and beat Sherlock up.

Anyone who has ever been to school or worked should be able to understand this feeling.

If you really don't understand, you can probably think of it as the feeling of loving mother and filial children when they're not studying, but chaos and disorder when they are. It's just that studying has become like dieting.

As for Sherlock, he was naturally aware of Doro's immense resentment towards him, but in Sherlock's opinion, Doro absolutely had to lose weight. He was already practically half-crippled, and he wouldn't be cute if he didn't lose weight.

However, as someone who had once been a slave, Sherlock understood, but he still had to hide. Besides, Sherlock was so happy hiding in his workshop that he was oblivious to the world around him.

Of all the things they retrieved from S.H.I.E.L.D., the poop launcher and the Chengdu Heart that could generate tentacles indefinitely were undoubtedly the things Sherlock was most curious about.

After putting on gloves, Sherlock threw the Chengdu Heart into the ultrasonic cleaner, set up the program for hundreds of automatic water changes and cleaning fluid additions, and then closed the lid, intending to first study the principle of the poop emitter.

After a great deal of effort, Sherlock finally managed to open the outer shell of the so-called transmitter that could produce an infinite amount of poop, and its internal structure astonished him.

Strictly speaking, the theory that it can continuously emit poop and cover the globe is correct, but the theory within that theory that pink poop can be generated out of thin air is wrong.

The pink poop didn't appear out of thin air; it was transmitted through a spatial node.

Or to put it more bluntly, this thing isn't a proper thing; its real name should be the Parallel World Matter Exchanger!

To put it simply, on the other side of that spatial node, there should be a parallel universe or an alien planet made up of pink poop.

The main function of this thing is to exchange substances using its pink poop.

However, the cunning thing about this thing is that there is no material exchange during the process of the poop being emitted; the real exchange takes place in the pink poop that is emitted.

Each time a feces falls to the ground, it undergoes a material exchange with its original world, allowing the matter from this world to enter its own fecal world.

The weight exchanged is actually one's own weight.

In other words, although this thing looks harmless, it is actually a real weapon of mass destruction!

Okay, so the principle behind it is that it's a powerful weapon. In reality, it's pretty much useless, since the pink poop doesn't weigh much at all. After Sherlock tried it nearly a hundred times, the maximum weight was only about 100g.

If this weight were intended to kill, it would be better to hope that some unknown bacteria in that pink poop could infect a wound and cause death.
