"I have a question. If you're wearing armor and giving someone a massage, does that count as cosplaying a massage machine?"
"I asked, Kazuma Sato."
"I wouldn't say so, but in a sense it could be considered a massage machine."
Kiritani Kazuto also began to think when he heard Sato Kazuma's question.
"I don't want to ramble on, but what do you think of the rabbit plush toy I ordered for you?"
[Iron Man, Zhuge Cong, asked while massaging Ai Haibara's shoulders.]
"Do I like it?"
"I've captured your heart, haven't I?"
"Yes, but why are you playing with remote-controlled toys?"
[As she spoke, Ai Haibara walked straight towards the underground laboratory, followed by the Iron Man suit of armor.]
[“You discovered me.”]
After Ai Haibara came down, she saw Zhuge Cong wearing glasses.
"How did you find out so quickly? I thought you wouldn't be able to find me until I self-destructed."
[Zhuge Cong looked at Ai Haibara and asked.]
"Do you think I've worked myself to death in the office?"
"Don't you remember what I used to do? My insightful observation skills are still quite impressive."
[Ai Haibara looked at Zhuge Cong and said.]
"You've been doing really badly lately."
[Ai Haibara's tone suddenly softened as she looked at Zhuge Cong and spoke.]
"I feel great, I have a good appetite and I'm in excellent health."
[Ai Haibara didn't say anything, just stared at Zhuge Cong. Zhuge Cong, feeling overwhelmed by her gaze, couldn't keep up the act any longer.]
"Okay, I admit it, I've been a mess lately."
"It's been a while now, and I guess you've probably sensed it by now, even though I thought I hid it very well."
【"Um."】
"Everything changed after the Chitauri invasion."
"I went through some things, but after it all passed, I couldn't explain them clearly."
"God, extraterrestrials, other dimensions."
"And I'm just someone hiding inside an iron shell."
[Zhuge Cong said solemnly.]
"The reason I haven't broken down yet is probably because you moved in with me."
"But the problem now is that I can't fall asleep peacefully."
"After you fall asleep, I'll come downstairs by myself and do my own things, like tinkering and tapping."
"When danger strikes, I must protect the one thing I cannot lose."
"It's you."
[Zhuge Cong pointed at Ai Haibara and said.]
"My battle suits, they are just..."
【"machine."】
"But they are also a part of me."
Take a day off.
The author noticed a surprisingly high ratio of bookmarks to readers. Was it that people added the book to their favorites and then forgot about it, or is the author using bots like Hedgehog Cat?
Sorry everyone, I feel really unwell after returning from my hometown after visiting the graves during the Qingming Festival. I'm taking a day off. Ciallo～(∠?ω<)⌒☆.

488: Mechanical Ascension or Genetic Ascension
"Flesh and blood are weak and feeble, while machinery soars to new heights."
"No matter what, the armor is just an external object; the body itself is still a fragile physical body."
"Only by merging oneself with the machine, like I have done."
"That is the most perfect."
Scorpion looked at the forlorn Iron Man Zhuge Cong on the screen and said.
"Hehehe, Scorpion, you've probably forgotten about those powerful bodies."
"How do you think you need to upgrade your machines to be able to compete with the Hulk and Thor?"
Orochimaru looked at Sasori and said that his theories were contrary to Sasori's for a long time.
One of them believed in mechanical ascension, while the other believed in genetic ascension.
"The physical body is ultimately finite. Even someone as powerful as Odin is subject to the ravages of time and needs the so-called Odin's Sleep to slow it down."
"If it were a mechanical body, time would still cause damage, but we would only need to replace the parts that are damaged and cannot withstand it."
Scorpion looked at Orochimaru and said.
"Is that so? Then Scorpion, can you guarantee that your mind and thoughts will remain stable over the long years?"
Orochimaru looked at Sasori and retorted.
Deidara watched Orochimaru and Sasori argue without reacting at all; he was used to it. Deidara would feel uneasy if Orochimaru and Sasori didn't quarrel once or twice a day.
Deidara didn't care about Sasori's mechanical ascension theory, nor did he care about Orochimaru's genetic ascension; he only cared about his own ideas and art.
That is to create a huge bomb and witness the most magnificent demise.
[Zhuge Cong, who had difficulty falling asleep in his bedroom that night, had a nightmare.]
[In his dream, Zhuge Cong recalled the scene of facing the Chitauri. As the dream unfolded, his body twitched, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.]
[When Zhuge Cong dreamt of himself carrying a nuclear bomb into a wormhole, his reaction became even more intense.]
【“Cong.”】
Ai Haibara naturally sensed Zhuge Cong's spasms and turned around to see the pained expression on his face, his forehead covered in sweat.
【“Cong.”】
[Ai Haibara turned to the side, placed her hand on Zhuge Cong's shoulder, and gently shook it, calling out. The next second, Ai Haibara felt her wrist being grabbed by a cold piece of steel.]
"Aaaaaah!"
The Iron Man armor turned Ai Haibara around. Ai was startled by the sudden appearance of the armor, especially by the cold blue light emanating from its mask, which made it look like a ghost.
Ai Haibara's scream also woke Zhuge Cong from his nightmare.
[After Zhuge Cong woke up, he saw Ai Haibara being held captive by the Iron Man armor and immediately realized what was happening. He stood up and spoke to the Iron Man armor.]
"Turn off the power."
The armored vehicle immediately released its grip on Ai Haibara's hand, then lowered its head, and the cold blue light disappeared.
Ai Haibara also turned on the lamp; the fright she'd just experienced had chased away her sleepiness.
"I must have activated it while I was asleep."
[Zhuge Cong said with some shame and self-reproach.]
"This shouldn't have happened."
"I will recalibrate the sensor."
"You need to see a therapist."
"Don't refuse; you're not doing well right now."
[Ai Haibara looked at Zhuge Cong with a hint of heartache and said something, then walked to Zhuge Cong's side and hugged his head.]
Ai Haibara knows why Zhuge Cong has become like this.
Ai Haibara thinks that while the current Iron Man, Zhuge Cong, is quite good, she also feels a little sorry for him.
"My symptoms aren't... okay, I'll see a therapist."
[Zhuge Cong initially wanted to refuse, but after Ai Haibara hugged his head, he changed his mind. Zhuge Cong felt he might really need to see a doctor.]
"I've already booked an appointment with a very famous psychologist for you."
[Ai Haibara patted Zhuge Cong on the head and said.]
"I thought you suggested I see a psychologist on a whim, but it turns out you already had an appointment."
