The murderer stabbed the victim who was lying on the ground unable to fight back.
Anyone who looks at this situation can understand that the victim is dead.
After saying that Stan stabbed Stark, Pepper also recognized the reality and burst into tears.
"Tony, how can he?"
While Pepper was still crying in memory of Stark, she was interrupted by Ash.
"Let's go take a look first. Maybe Tony is not dead!"
"Why~ look~ this is the east coast. It's more than 4,000 kilometers away from the west coast. It takes an hour or two to fly at supersonic speed."
Pepper wiped away her tears and waited for Ash's decision. Since Stark sent her here in an emergency, it showed that Ash was a person worth trusting.
"Anyway, let's go out first. Teleportation cannot be started inside the sacrificial site. I have to make a call first."
After taking Pepper away from the sacrificial site and walking outside the wall of the sacrificial site, Ash took out his family heirloom phone.
Pretending to call someone else, Ash actually didn't make the call. In fact, he was in two different dimensions and the Dragon Academy had no signal at all.
"Hello? Are you there? Come here and help me."
As soon as he finished speaking, a portal sparkling with sparks opened in front of Pepper, and Constantine in a black robe walked out.
Constantine, who was smoking a cigarette, asked in a nonchalant tone: "What's wrong, pastor? Looking for me now?"
Ash pointed to Pepper beside him and said, "This lady needs to leave to the West Coast. Please open the door and let us pass."
As Constantine spoke, the cigarette butt on his mouth also flickered and flickered in the night, attracting Pepper's attention.
"You can't just say the West Coast! Where exactly is it?"
Pepper said as fast as he could: "10880 Marbury Beach, the zip code is 90265."
However, Pepper's words attracted a confused look from Constantine, as if saying, 'Where is that?'
If you just name a place that you have never been to, who can quickly find the specific location except the courier boy who wanders around the streets and alleys all day long.
Pepper looked at Constantine's confused eyes and seemed to understand something.
However, Constantine quickly changed his mind and reached out to pull a strand from Pepper's blond hair.
"When thinking about where you want to go, be sure to think of a safe location, otherwise the portal will cut through all objects."
Hearing Constantine's words, Pepper hurriedly closed her eyes and thought seriously about Stark's location and the surrounding space environment. Constantine wrapped his hair in his hands, constantly making seals, and looking for the location.
Soon, a new portal opened in front of Pepper's eyes. Looking from here, Stark's studio was opposite. The bright lighting environment highlighted Stark lying on the ground in a pool of blood.
"Oh my God, Tony!"
Pepper screamed and jumped towards Stark on the opposite side.
Not daring to move Stark casually on the ground, Pepper touched Stark's face and while checking Stark's physical condition, gave orders to Jarvis in the studio.
"Jarvis, quickly, call the police and get medical personnel!"
"I'm sorry, Ms. Pepper, during the hour, thirty-seven minutes and forty-six seconds you left, I kept calling for medical assistance, but unfortunately my external sensors and the communication facilities in the building were all blocked.
Blocked."
After hearing Jarvis's explanation, Pepper held Stark's body and tried to touch his vital signs.
After feeling Stark's breath, Pepper screamed and shouted: "Ash, save Tony, he is still alive."
"Of course he is still alive, don't worry."
Although Stark's chest has a knife mark that goes deep into his heart, under a certain force, Stark's life has not passed away, but is maintained in a strange balance.
Ash shook the dragon bell, and the milky white light flashed, and he was gradually absorbed into Stark's body.
Soon, Stark's breathing became heavy, and his eyes began to twitch under his eyelids.
"Ahem" Stark coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood that had condensed into black clots and splashed on his chest.
"Am I still alive at this time? Are you here so soon?"
Stark examined the surrounding environment and quickly saw Ash and Pepper holding him.
While shaking the dragon bell, Ash said: "Save a few breaths, you can vomit blood. This knife should have pierced the heart and penetrated into the trachea or esophagus at the back. Stop talking and let me finish the spell first."
Stark obeyed and closed his mouth, and even closed his eyes. Feeling the constant repairing feeling coming from his body, he couldn't help but hum.
"Okay, get up. Now you have some sequelae of blood loss at most. You just need to rest for a few days. As for the scar on your chest, I suggest you go find a plastic surgeon to have a look. Something is wrong with me."
When Ash put away the dragon bell, Stark also sat on the chair beside him with Pepper's support.
For the time being, he could only rely on drinking water to replenish his blood volume. Stark kept refilling the glass until Ash stopped him and licked his still dry lips. Stark asked Ash: "Ash, are you ready?"
Do you think there’s something wrong with Stan?”
When asked like this, what Stark didn't expect was that Ash replied very directly and simply: "Yes."
"Then why didn't you remind me first?"
"Please, look at you before. What would you think if someone came up to you and told you that your good Uncle Stan was going to kill you?"
Faced with Ash's rhetorical question, Stark shook his head, which was dizzy due to lack of blood, and said, "I will think he has ulterior motives, and then hand him over to Stan for disposal."
Ash shrugged, making a helpless gesture, and said, "That's fine!"
Stark lowered his head, looked at the blood-soaked shirt, touched the scar on his chest, and said with some unknown meaning: "What did I see after I died?"
Stark's problem is just because after being stabbed by Stan, his life continued to flow away, but at the end of the life's ticker, he was stopped by a ball of flame.
Originally, the marquee of life was almost coming to an end. A ball of flame brought him to a desolate place. The ashes on the ground piled up into continuous hills. The sun in the sky was eaten away like a solar eclipse. A person
A huge figure in armor sat under the sun.
Looking at this scene, Stark couldn't make a sound or move. He could only look at this doomsday scene until he was brought back to reality by a warm milky white light.
Ash also grabbed a chair, sat across from Stark and said, "Do you remember the blessing I gave you and Pepper before you left?"
Stark held Pepper's hand, looked at Pepper's still worried eyes and said, "I remember, I originally thought this was just a procedure to leave your sacrificial site."
"That is a miracle taught by Archbishop Karim's apostle Moen. It can allow people to escape death for once. It was originally a miracle that allowed the dying person time to say goodbye."
Hearing Ash's words, Stark's hand couldn't help but tighten. Pepper, who was holding Stark's hand, squeezed his hand until it hurt.
"It's okay Pepper, it's enough time to talk to him."
Stark comforted Pepper with his gentle tone, and then he found paper and pen and started writing and drawing. Ash came closer and found that Stark was making a will.
Reaching out for Stark's will, Ash tore it up unceremoniously. In Stark's surprised eyes, Ash said: "How much do you look down on me? What I said is not time, it is reserved for people like me."
A time when greatness like the Fire King exists, rather than ordinary people who bleed to death due to stab wounds."
Pepper hurriedly leaned out from behind Stark and asked Ash, "Does this mean Tony is okay?"
"Of course, he may be weak for a period of time due to blood loss. It depends on Tony's physical condition."
Pepper, who was finally relieved, held Stark in her arms and cried: "Oh my God, Tony, you're okay, it's great, you're okay..."
This moment belongs to Pepper and Stark, but there are always people who can ruin the atmosphere.
Constantine, who was standing on the other side of the portal, shouted: "Okay, you guys, if you want to stay over there, I'll leave first!"
Emerging from Pepper's arms, Stark only then saw a portal with sparkling sparks in the corner of the studio. Constantine was asking this impatiently from the outside. Look at the door under his feet.
The cigarette butt has been standing there for a while.
"That's the person Ash called. He opened the portal to here..."
Pepper explained Constantine to Stark. As someone who had experienced the same battle, Stark also knew Constantine. As for whether Constantine knew him or not, that had to be said separately.
Due to Constantine's interruption, Stark was reminded of his current situation and stood up from the chair. Stark could only be supported by Pepper.
"Ash, please do me a favor."
"Say it."
"I know you have the means to store items. I asked Jarvis to cooperate with you and pack all the items in my studio."
Looking at Stark's huge studio, Ash compared the remaining space in his backpack and readily agreed.
Next, Ash moved almost everything that could be moved in Stark's studio. The remaining items were either fixed or immovable, or were the dozen or so cars used as decorations.
Returning to the portal and seeing the familiar sacrificial site in the distance, Stark confirmed that he had indeed arrived from the West Coast to Long Island in an instant.
Just when Pepper wanted to thank Constantine for coming to help, he only saw the back of Constantine turning around and walking into the portal, leaving only a few sparks dissipating in the air.
Ash continued to perfect the character design for Constantine and said: "These mages are like this. Unless something big happens, they will be like this the rest of the time..."
Next, after placing Stark's things at the former blacksmith Andre's location as he requested, Ash returned to the fireproof woman.
As for how Stark deals with Obadiah Stane, that is Stark's own business.
