Chapter 426 Can You Pick Me Up?
In the living area behind Tony’s luxurious office on the top floor of the Stark Industries building, Tony had just fallen asleep for an hour. Knowing that Tony was very tired recently, Pepper did not come to disturb Tony and let him rest quietly.
While Tony was resting, JARVIS, who was looking for Mirage Knight’s news on the Internet, suddenly received a notification that someone was calling Tony’s private phone number via satellite phone. In order to not disturb Tony, JARVIS intercepted the call without letting it go to Tony’s phone.
JARVIS intercepted the call, but instead of blocking it, it connected itself from the outside. After all, the caller has Tony’s personal number, so he should know him. So JARVIS said hello, mimicking Tony’s voice.
“Hello, this is Tony Stark.” After the call was connected, the calm voice of JARVIS was transmitted through the satellite signal.
…
After JARVIS said hello, the person on the other side of the phone seemed to become silent but JARVIS could still hear the sound of breathing.
“Hi! Is this JARVIS?” However, three seconds later, a very familiar voice came from the phone in the living room. The person on the other side of the phone could see through JARVIS’s disguised voice.
“You are, Mirage Knight!” Hearing this familiar voice, JARVIS’s voice wavered at the familiar sound. By this time, JARVIS’ voice had recovered to normal.
“Well, it’s me. JARVIS, I’m alive!” The person on the other end of the line seemed excited as he shouted loudly.
…
At the secret base of Hydra in Siberia, Lin Rui was holding a satellite phone and he is talking with JARVIS. Although Lin Rui felt strange when JARVIS pretended to be Tony at first as he thought that something had happened. However, JARVIS also explained that Tony was worried after he and Red Skull were transported together by the Magic Cube’s Space Door, everyone had thought that they were dead, and Tony was busy all day and is now resting.
“So they all thought I was dead, really… It’s a long story!” After hearing from JARVIS that Rogers thought he had died in Red Skull, Lin Rui made a funny face.
In fact, Lin Rui has transported with Red Skull without knowing that the Space Door exploded after they left. If Lin Rui saw the explosion of the Space Door, he would not wonder why they thought him dead.
“According to the analysis of the situation at that time, Mirage Knight’s chance of survival was very low and I have done calculations. However, I am also very happy to see that you are still alive.” After hearing Lin Rui’s words, JARVIS continued.
“Haha! Thank you, but do you really know what happiness means?” Lin Rui asked curiously after hearing JARVIS.
“Happy, I don’t know, but I know that this should be said at this time.” When Lin Rui asks this question, JARVIS answers after some thinking.
“Indeed, it is the correct thing to say. And, JARVIS, I’m sure you’ll learn what it feels like to be happy someday, and I hope to see the day when you’re really happy.” Knowing that JARVIS has not evolved to this extent, Lin Rui replies with a smile.
“Thank you, Mirage Knight. Do you need me to wake up Mr. Stark now? He asked me to notify him as soon as I have any news related to you before taking a break.” After a few words with Lin Rui, JARVIS asked.
Originally, JARVIS should have informed Tony as soon as it was confirmed that he was Lin Rui. After all, those were Tony’s orders. However, as the core of JARVIS evolved and its thinking process evolved, he decided that if Jackson was okay then maybe Tony should rest more.
“Well… if Tony is tired then you don’t need to wake him up. I know he must have been very worried about me during this time. However, JARVIS, can you send out one Iron Man Armor to pick me up? I am quite far away from New York and I cannot go back alone.” Lin Rui was stunned when he heard JARVIS, and then he did not let JARVIS wake Tony up. Then Lin Rui asked JARVIS to pick him up.
“No problem. Just sent me your specific location, and I will send out the Iron Man to pick you up now.” JARVIS responded quickly after hearing Lin Rui’s words.
“Well, I’m…” Lin Rui then reported his position to JARVIS.
“Okay, there is already an Iron Man leaving and it will be arriving in about half an hour. Jackson, is there anything else I can do to help?” After getting the exact location of Lin Rui, JARVIS has dispatched the Iron Man. Then, JARVIS asked very humanely.
“Of course, JARVIS. I need you to inform Professor Charles, League of Defender, and Captain Rogers that I am still alive. Also, please help me strengthen the signal of this satellite, I want to call home.” There are so many people who think that he had died and Lin Rui will certainly not let that thinking process continue.
“If you want an enhanced signal, I can connect you directly to Stark’s dedicated satellite, which will make the signal much better.” Upon hearing Lin Rui’s request, JARVIS calmly replied.
“Stark’s dedicated satellite? Yeah, do that.” After hearing JARVIS say this method so calmly, Lin Rui also cursed the Stark’s family business in his heart, how rich and influential they must be own their own dedicated satellite.
“Please wait a minute.”
Then Lin Rui heard a rush of electric current from the satellite phone. In about a few seconds, those sounds disappeared.
“The transfer has been completed. If Mirage Knight has nothing else to do, you can call your family. By the way, if you want to call your family then remember that Tony had told your parents that you were doing a secret experiment so you can’t contact them.” Knowing that Lin Rui had experienced such a thing and he would definitely think of contacting his family, JARVIS said very understandingly.
“I know, thank you, JARVIS.” Lin Rui thanked JARVIS after hearing his reminder.
“This is the right thing to do, and Mr. Mirage Knight, I have located your position, and you can contact me at any time.”
“Well, I will contact you later.” Lin Rui agreed and then he hanged up the phone. JARVIS has already located Lin Rui’s position through Stark’s satellite and Lin Rui is no longer separated from the outside world.
“I’d better call my parents first. I’ve been away before but now they know what I’m doing could be dangerous and they won’t think twice about it.” After finishing his call with JARVIS, Lin Rui started to call his father Lin Hai.
