Chapter 75: Page 75

[Miyano Shiho was somewhat dissatisfied with Zhuge Cong for hiding the truth from her.]

[“I’m just afraid that you’ll worry. Besides, look, I’m fine now. It’s just a minor side effect.”]

[“Don’t worry too much. Besides, I can solve any problems myself.”]

[Zhuge Cong picked up a bottle of wine and poured two glasses. He drank one himself and passed the other to Miyano Shiho to calm her down.]

[“Jarvis, report Zhuge Cong’s physical condition to me.”]

[Miyano Shiho took the wine glass and put it aside, then spoke directly to Jarvis. After all, in the authority column, Miyano Shiho's authority was second only to Zhuge Cong, and Zhuge Cong did not encrypt this matter, so Jarvis told Miyano Shiho the truth.]

[“Mr. Zhuge Cong’s blood toxin content has reached 2268%, and his physical condition is deteriorating. He needs to drink grams of special drinks every day to suppress it.”]

[“If Mr. Zhuge Cong continues to use the Iron Man armor, the palladium corrosion rate will continue to accelerate, accelerating his death.”]

[“Because there is no suitable replacement element, Mr. Zhuge Cong’s total lifespan is estimated to be two and a half years if he does not use the Iron Man armor.”]

[“If Mr. Zhuge Cong continues to use the Iron Man armor, based on the current rate of palladium invasion, Mr. Zhuge Cong will die of palladium-induced illness within a year.”]

"Great power comes at the cost of longevity."

"And even if he doesn't use the Iron Man armor, the mini Ark reactor on his chest that saved his life will continue to cause Zhuge Cong to die slowly."

"As for finding a new replacement, I guess the only options are new elements, or Zhuge Cong also becomes a mutant with the ability to heal himself like Sato Kazuma."

"Could it be possible that Zhuge Cong will really die young?"

"Or will Zhuge Cong come up with a new element?"

"There are several other possibilities, including Orochimaru's optimized version of the Lizard Potion and Scorpion's mechanization of the human body, whose exact process he doesn't know."

Kyosuke Takasaka thought that Zhuge Cong was in a dead end, but suddenly he remembered that the opponent had a different background and had many talented people under his command.

------

"Zhuge Cong will not die here."

L said this with great confidence, as if he had already seen the ending in advance, which also aroused the curiosity of the light curtain personnel nearby.

After all, given Zhuge Cong's current physical condition and palladium poisoning, using the Iron Man armor would only exacerbate his own death.

Even if it is not used, it will only lead to slow death. If it is taken off, the shrapnel fragments that cannot be removed will invade Zhuge Cong's heart little by little and kill him.

As for what Kyosuke Takasaka thought of, he might have thought about it, but he felt it was not very reliable.

Only the new elements may be Zhuge Cong's most likely way to survive, although Zhuge Cong was able to create the Mark 1 Iron Man armor in such an extreme environment.

But he didn't really believe that Zhuge Cong could come up with new elements.

L did not give much explanation. After all, it was this guy's fault for not observing things carefully.

In the previous Deadpool, Sato Kazuma, L noticed that the energy center in the center of the poster of Iron Man's armor on the billboard had changed.

The second is the character of War Machine. From Sato Kazuma, we learned that War Machine is Zhuge Cong’s partner.

Now War Machine hasn't even shown up yet, so how could Zhuge Cong, War Machine's partner, die like this?

Moreover, L had a vague feeling that this Zhuge Cong was not simple, but he couldn't tell what it was. It was as if if Zhuge Cong died here, it would be very unreasonable and would cause the world to collapse in the end.

[“Don’t use your Iron Man armor to be Iron Man anymore.”]

【Miyano Shiho took a sip of the wine in the glass and said.】

[“I just finished arguing with that old man in the Senate, saying that I can do it on my own and I won’t hand in the Iron Man armor.”]

[“It’s really embarrassing to not be allowed to use the Iron Man armor in an instant. Besides, there is no cure. I might as well do something meaningful before I die.”]

[Zhuge Cong sat down on the chair and said to Miyano Shiho nonchalantly. ]

【“You…I, well, whatever you want.”】

[“If possible, you should use the Iron Man armor less. After all, you still have your Iron Alliance.”]

[Miyano Shiho wanted to say something but the words got stuck in her throat and she didn't say it. In the end, she just sighed and turned to leave. Before leaving, she couldn't help but persuade Zhuge Cong to use the Iron Man armor less.]

[She knew that it was useless to say anything at this time. After being together for such a long time, she still knew Zhuge Cong's personality. It was impossible not to use it. At most, she could ask him to use it less.]

【Zhuge Cong actually felt bad watching Miyano Shiho's departing back, after all, he didn't want to die so early.】

[But there is no solution. Orochimaru said there is no solution. Scorpion's technology is not mature enough to help him. Ishigami Senku has no research in this area. Deidara is even less capable of this. He only knows weapons research.]

"I remember that Orochimaru has an optimized version of lizard serum, so why did Zhuge Cong say that Orochimaru has no solution?"

Ebina Nana asked in confusion, isn't Zhuge Cong Orochimaru's boss? Wouldn't it be better for Orochimaru to give him a tube of lizard serum?

Or maybe the lizard serum can't save Zhuge Cong.

"Hey, Nana, have you forgotten where Orochimaru got his lizard serum? It was developed through human experiments."

"Zhuge Cong strictly prohibits human experiments."

"If Zhuge Cong knew that Orochimaru was conducting human experiments, wouldn't we know what would happen to Orochimaru?"

"So Orochimaru may not have told Zhuge Cong about the optimized lizard serum."

Tsuchima Mai said as she observed carefully, after all, she was watching very seriously.

In Doma Mai's opinion, the plot on the screen was very exciting. The only drawback was that she could only watch it once, and not a second or third time so that she could see it more carefully.

[At midnight, Akizuki Kozo, with a gloomy face, stood in a dark alley on the street, waiting for someone to come.]

[Soon, a sneaky-looking man came over and handed Akizuki Kozo a letter. After handing it to Akizuki Kozo, the man also sneaked away from the scene.]

[After returning home, Akizuki Kozo couldn't wait to tear open the letter in his hand. Inside was some information and a concert ticket.]

[“End the band, that’s a great name, Zhuge Cong. When the time comes, I will end your life.”]

[Akizuki Kozo looked at the concert ticket in his hand and smiled a sinister smile. ]

"It's over. Cong's enemies are coming to find us."

"Should we first sever our ties with Zhuge Cong and then bring him into the group after the storm has died down?"

Yamada Ryo looked at Akizuki Kozo who was planning to cause trouble during their band's concert on the screen and raised his eyebrows and made a suggestion to Ijichi Kouka who was standing beside him.

Ijichi Hongxia turned her head and looked at Yamada Ryo who was speaking. From her serious attitude, it seemed that if she nodded, Yamada Ryo would really remove Zhuge Cong from the closing band.

"You will only aggravate Zhuge Cong's condition by doing this."

Ijichi Hongxia looked at Yamada Ryo and said, "It is often said that people with serious illnesses should keep a happy mood, otherwise they will be kicked out directly."

"I was just saying it casually. Hongxia, you are the one who has really thought about it."

Yamada Ryo looked at Ijichi Kouka with a look that said, "I'm just talking, you're probably the one who has ideas."

------

"I, I, I, I won't die directly in this concert attack, but even if I die, I might not even be named and just waited for. No, they might not even find me."

Goto Ichiri looked at Akizuki Kozo who was about to attack him and became so nervous and frightened that he began to twist and deform a little.

She is an ordinary person with nothing. If she encounters a terrorist attack, she probably won't even have a chance of being taken hostage.

He might be beaten into a Pochi sauce by those two big electric whips.

Although he knew that this was a long time in the future, Goto Ichiri also started to worry about his already not-so-good life.

[“Bang, bang, bang.”]

[Miyano Shiho brought a notary to see Zhuge Cong. When Miyano Shiho walked into Zhuge Cong's gym, he heard the sound of boxing gloves hitting each other.]

[“I have brought the notary to you. Can you come and sign the transfer documents?”]

[Miyano Shiho looked at Zhuge Cong and said that after the last conversation with him, Zhuge Cong really did not run around outside as Iron Man anymore.]

[“I’m boxing with Simba.”]

[Zhuge Cong is boxing with Shizi Wang Si for training. And the boxing is just Shizi Wang Si serving as Zhuge Cong's sparring partner. After all, if they really fight, Zhuge Cong without the Iron Man armor cannot beat Shizi Wang Si.]

[Vermouth, dressed as an office lady, walked into Zhuge Cong's villa under the guidance of Miyano Shiho. ]

[Because of his unique and enhanced camouflage technology, Shiho Miyano did not recognize this colleague from his early years. 】

"Um!?"

Gin was filled with doubts when he saw Vermouth's appearance.

"Boss, I think this may be the boss's plan, to have Vermouth get close to Zhuge Cong in disguise in order to obtain the secrets of the Iron Man armor."

Gin felt that what Vodka said made sense, but he also felt something was strange.

------

Miyano Shiho watched herself lead Vermouth into the house without her noticing. On the one hand, she felt that her skills had declined, but on the other hand, she was amazed at the exquisiteness of Vermouth's camouflage technique.

["Are you really going to transfer the company's signature to me like this? Let me declare in advance that I am actually not very good at managing companies."]

【Miyano Shiho looked at Zhuge Cong and said.】

[“Please write your name in each column.”]

[Vermouth also opened the document and placed it in front of Miyano Shiho. After all, her current identity is a notary, not an agent of SHIELD. ]

"I became an agent of . Did I join voluntarily or was there some arrangement?"

Seeing herself on the light screen becoming an agent of ., Vermouth didn't have much reaction.

Instead, the first thing he thought about was his motivation and purpose for joining SHIELD.

[“Lesson one: never take your eyes off your enemy.”]

[The Lion King Si patted Zhuge Cong who turned around to look at Vermouth. ]

[“Hey beautiful, what’s your name?”]

[Zhuge Cong looked at Vermouth and asked.]

[“My name is Koyama Mimi.”]

[Vermouth directly gave a fake name. ]

【“Would you like to come up and exercise for a while?”】

【"are you sure."】

[Miyano Shiho said as he watched Zhuge Cong invite a notary to the stage to box.]

[“What’s the big deal? As long as she’s willing, right?”]

[“It’s okay. I have a little bit of experience.”]

[Vermouth did not reject Zhuge Cong's proposal and handed the document to Miyano Shiho before heading towards the boxing ring.]

[Zhuge Cong walked down from the boxing ring and walked towards Miyano Shiho who was sitting on the sofa, and asked Shishio Oushi to practice a little with the woman. ]

【“Shiho, where did this guy come from?”】

“She’s in the legal department, and she’s also the subject of an expensive potential sexual harassment lawsuit.”

[“I think we can add an assistant.”]

[“What a coincidence! There are three very good candidates here. They are all ready to meet you. If you agree, they will come for the interview tomorrow.”]

[“No, that’s too much trouble. I think this one is pretty good.”]

[Zhuge Cong looked at Vermouth and said.]

137: End of the band's grand performance

【"no."】

[After hearing Zhuge Cong's proposal, Miyano Shiho closed the contract she had just read and rejected Zhuge Cong's proposal without thinking.]

[The Lion King Si on the stage looked at the Vermouth in front of him, who looked just like an ordinary girl except that she was a little pretty. ]

[Although she looks like an ordinary woman, Lion King Si's senses make him feel that the girl in front of him is not simple. 】

[She didn't look like a woman who had no fighting skills at all. Instead, she made him feel that the guy on the other side was not simple in strength.]

"Do you think he's really strong? He's an agent after all, so how can his physical fighting skills be bad?"

"Besides, the person who was sent to get close to Zhuge Cong must be no ordinary agent and his strength must be very impressive."

After saying this, Izumi Masamune felt that his guess made a lot of sense.
