Chapter 344: Be Prepared to Die!

"Natasha, how is Clint?"

Pushing open the door of the medical room, Lainie saw Natasha sitting beside the bed with a sad face, and Clint struggling in pain on the bed.

Seeing that it was Lainie, Natasha's sadness eased a little.

Natasha was not surprised that Lainie knew that Clint had woken up.

Although the communication system on the mothership has not been fully restored, it is not surprising to be able to know the situation in the medical room in advance with Lainie's magical ability.

"The situation is not good. Since he woke up just now, he has become like this. I tried to help him, but he seemed to be unable to hear what I said."

Laini glanced at Clint, whose hands and feet were tied on the bed. The painful expression on his face showed that he seemed to be experiencing some kind of inhuman torture at this time.

"Try using the alchemical crystal, maybe it can alleviate his condition."

Take out an alchemical crystal ball from the void, which is the [Shining World Instrument] known as the globe in DNF. In the game, it can remove almost all abnormal states, and it is still powerful even in reality.

But to be honest, Lainie is not very confident. After all, Clint's current state is caused by the Mind Stone, one of Marvel's Infinity Stones.

Theoretically, the world instrument should be able to resolve the other party's current state that looks like chaos.

But the Infinity Stone is not an ordinary thing, and the mental confusion it causes may be extraordinary. If there is really no solution, Lainie has no way.

In the end, I am afraid that I can only hope that Clint's own mind is strong enough to defeat the Mind Stone and Loki's temptation by himself.

Natasha, who is helpless on the side, does not know Lainie's thoughts at this time. She just firmly believes that Lainie's alchemical props will definitely help Clint defeat the temptation and bring back the confident and resolute Hawkeye agent.

Taking the crystal ball, Natasha leaned over to Clint, who was still in pain on the bed, and said in a soothing tone:

"Clint, hold on a little longer, it's okay, we can save you..."

Unexpectedly, Clint, who couldn't hear Natasha's call, suddenly straightened his body, as if he had become a different person, with a ferocious face full of resentment and murderous intent.

"Save me? Why save me? What can you do to save me!"

The sudden roar startled Lainie and the others, and they never thought that Clint's reaction would be so violent.

"Take that thing away! I don't need you to save me!"

Clint's bloodshot eyes stared at Natasha's right hand, as if he had some kind of fear of the alchemical crystal in Natasha's hand.

Natasha frowned when she saw this, and then realized that the other party was afraid of what she had in her hand. She immediately ordered Lainie behind her:

"Laini, hold him down!"

Laini did not hesitate, and reacted almost at the same time, stepping forward and stretching out her hands to hold Clint's chest tightly.

Seemingly aware of his situation, Clint began to struggle more violently. With his limbs fixed, he could only keep thrusting his body to break free from Lainie's restraints.

An inhuman roar came out of Clint's throat, and Lainie and the others frowned.

Especially Lainie, she never thought that Clint, who was controlled by the mind, would become like this. This is completely different from the plot in the original movie.

In order to prevent Clint from breaking free, Lainie could not help but increase the strength of her hands.

Bang!

With a muffled sound, Clint, who had been struggling to raise his upper body, was pushed back by Lainie. The huge force almost made the bed unable to support itself, and the faint sound of metal deformation resounded throughout the room.

Natasha, who was holding the crystal ball and preparing to press it on Clint's forehead, was stunned. This move almost made her slip her waist.

Clint, who was still struggling on the bed, was also stunned. It seemed that he had never expected Lainie's force to be so great that she pushed him completely into the bed!

Beep, beep!

The monitor next to the bed issued a harsh warning sound. This move actually broke two of Clint's ribs!

Natasha, who came to her senses, did not think about it. She did not give Clint on the bed a chance to react at all, and immediately pressed the crystal ball on Clint's forehead.

With Clint's scream of pain, the crystal ball turned into a ray of light that completely covered Clint's body.

...

After a while, Clint slowly woke up from his coma, and the images that kept appearing in his mind gradually reminded him of what had just happened.

Subconsciously, Clint reached out and rubbed his chest.

"This feeling is really disgusting!"

Looking at his wrist, Clint realized that he had been freed, and then looked at Natasha and the other person beside him.

"How long have I been unconscious?"

"Not long, just a little while, don't worry, Loki hasn't led his army to attack the earth yet."

As if seeing through Clint's thoughts, Natasha beside the bed smiled, reached out to take the water cup on the table beside him and handed it to Clint.

"How much do you remember about the previous things?"

"All... I will be responsible for what I did."

Clint drank the water in the cup, then turned to look at Leni who was watching the excitement.

"Loki plans to see the portal in the center of New York City. We don't have much time, we must stop him!"

Leni nodded upon hearing this, it was obvious, but she was in no hurry to return to New York right now.

"Loki's account will be settled sooner or later, but before that I need you to be prepared."

"What preparation?"

Leni turned her head and looked in the direction of New York, with a faint light shining in her eyes.

"Preparation for death."

…

"If Loki wants to activate the portal, he must rely on a large energy source. This may be why he attacked the helicarrier."

"I don't completely agree. In the previous attack, Clint never went to the main power room, let alone invaded the reactor. He seemed to be coming just for us."

In the conference room, Steve, the only one who didn't have anything clear to do, was discussing Loki's motivations for invading the aerospace carrier with Tony, and trying to analyze Loki's true purpose.

"He knows us very well. His fundamental purpose of pretending to surrender is to cause us to fight among ourselves. Since that scepter can directly affect people's minds, maybe it affects us!"

"So? Now that he succeeded, we lost Thor and Hulk, and even almost lost the space carrier at one point. Loki has every chance to control the entire space carrier, but why did he go to New York?"

"I don't know, but there must be some reason..."

Tony's brows furrowed deeply, and at the same time, he began to have some bad premonition in his heart.

"He is an arrogant lunatic, and he intends to let the whole world see his feat today."

At this moment, the door of the conference room opened, and Leni walked in with Natasha and Clint, took over the discussion between the two and said:

"He is a loser, especially on Earth. He is arrogant and has been defeated by me before. His self-esteem does not allow him to admit his failure, so now he is trying every means to regain his place."

"He wants to show off in the market and dominate the world in front of everyone!"

With Leni's reminder, Tony immediately realized Loki's plan, and began to analyze it step by step following Loki's arrogant temperament.

"He wants an audience, he wants to defeat us one by one in front of everyone, first Clint, then Dr. Banner, then Thor, then us, until the last person..."

Having said this, Tony turned his eyes to Leni, and the meaning was self-evident.

"The last person is me, the person he hates and fears the most, and he plans to destroy everything about me."

As if she had expected it, Leni reached out from her pocket and took out her mobile phone, which was displaying the latest network news.

[Stark Industries thermonuclear reactor facilities explode frequently, many nuclear facilities around the world are affected, and Stark Industries stock prices plummet]

Just by looking at the title, Tony already realized the seriousness of the matter.

"I'm afraid this is just an appetizer, just like in Stuttgart before, it was a preview, his preview to the whole world..."

Loki planned to completely ruin Leni's reputation and completely defeat Leni in front of everyone around the world.

"He is a standard arrogant maniac. He wants flowers, applause, an audience, and everyone to see his feats! He needs a stage, a stage that is grand enough and gorgeous enough to allow him to Trample you and us under our feet! It’s best to have his name engraved on the stage, so that his name can stand high..."

At this point, Tony couldn't help but froze on the spot.

"Son of a birch!"
