Chapter 669
Judging from Vision’s expression, it seemed he was in pain as he lied on the bed. At the same time, three robotic arms floated above his head, constantly discharging special lasers that stripped his neurons gradually. Vision himself felt as if someone kept stabbing his head with countless needles
Vision was really something else as a normal human couldn’t even endure this kind of pain for longer than an hour, but he had already held out for two days! At the same time, Shuri was controlling the panel that encoded Vision’s neurons, and she finally sighed in relief as she encoded the final group of Vision’s neurons.
If Vision was tormented for two days withholding the pain, Shuri herself was under more pressure as her concentration and agility were constantly tested! She had to make sure that everything was working out well as one simple mistake was fatal for Vision!
So, when it was finally over, she couldn’t conceal her fatigue any longer! When the Robotic Arms finally clamped the Mind Gem, Shuri took a breath of relief on her chair. Fortunately, Steve, who was eager to help, was already waiting on her side and held her before she could fall down her chair.
“How did it go?” Steve asked excitedly.
“It is a success! But I have to confirm that everything is working normally.” Shuri said as she nodded with a smile on her face. Steve nodded his head and took a look at Vision that was already sitting up on the bed.
“How do you feel now, Vision?” Steve asked curiously.
“It is strange… I feel… incredible?” Vision said as he looked at his hands and touched his forehead with them. He used to think that his existence was closely tied up with the Mind Gem, but as the Mind Gem was no longer part of his body, he found out that his sensory was in a better shape than before! It was like he was being reborn again as a new entity!
At the same time, Wanda immediately rushed in.
“Wanda, you came at the right moment! We have successfully extracted the Mind Stone! Shuri has succeeded in separating the Mind Stone from Vision, and now, you have to destroy it as soon as possible!” Steve said as he pointed his fingers at the Mind Stone that was still on the Robotic Arms.
“Congratulation, my friend! You can finally try to be a real human!” Wanda said as she suddenly showed a warm smile as she walked over and took the Mind Gem from the Robotic Arms. Steve and the others that were on the scene were confused as they didn’t expect Wanda would ever say something like that. They also felt confused and surprised by the content of Wanda’s word as even though they didn’t consider Vision to be a complete Robot, they didn’t think of Vision as another human either.
After all, Vision’s birth was unique that couldn’t be done again! At the same time, Vision felt something was off as he didn’t expect Wanda to say something like this either!
“I am going to find a safe place to destroy the Mind Stone immediately!” Wanda said as she turned around and left with the Mind Stone in hand. No one thought there was anything off with Wanda’s attitude as they also thought that destroying the Infinity Stone could be dangerous, so it made sense if Wanda had to find a safe and empty place to do so.
“I will check everything once again. If there is nothing wrong with Vision, I will go to bed!” Shuri said as she yawned while tilting her head to look at Wanda’s fleeting figure for the last time.
As Shuri finished checking Vision, she was finally free to go and walked away towards her room with the crowds. But at the same time, it was Dio and his group’s shift, but seeing that Vision’s forehead was finally hollowed out, Dio froze in surprise.
“Did you successfully extract the Mind Stone?” Dio asked Shuri.
“Yeah, hasn’t Wanda told you yet?” Shuri asked while frowning exhaustedly.
“Tell him what exactly?” Wanda confusedly said as she walked towards Dio with Quicksilver by her side.
“Why are you here, Wanda? Did you already destroy the Mind Stone?” Steve said as he sensed something was definitely wrong.
“What are you saying now? I never came here earlier. I didn’t even know what happened here right now!” Wanda said as confusion took over her expression. Everyone immediately realised that the one who took the Mind Stone earlier wasn’t the real Wanda!
Steve and the others were immediately wide awake in horror! “This is not the time to joke around! Just a few minutes earlier, you came in and took the Mind Stone while saying that you would find a place to destroy it!” Shuri said demandingly.
“What are you saying? I am with Dio the entire time! I haven’t left our room at all earlier!” Wanda said solemnly.
Seeing the anxiety rising through the roof as no one knew what had just happened, Dio immediately tried to dissuade the situation. “Indeed, Wanda is with me the entire time. Did you really see Wanda came in and took the Mind Stone?” Dio asked curiously.
“I am sure of it! It was really Wanda! Even her voice and tone were actually the same. Otherwise, we would immediately catch on if she was a fake!” Shuri said anxiously. It took her too much effort to strip Vision’s neurons from the Mind Stone, but now, the Mind Stone might have fallen to the enemy’s hand!
“If neither of us is lying, then there is only one possibility here! The enemy has come and disguised themselves among us and has been observing us since then. They use their ability to mimic Wanda’s voice and appearance and came in at the right moment as they took away the Mind Stone effortlessly!” Dio said casually. Everyone nodded as they also thought that it was the only possibility right now.
Wanda wasn’t their enemy, and she had no motive to do so. Furthermore, Dio also guaranteed that Wanda wasn’t lying, so it was clear that the Wanda that they saw earlier was an imposter!
“It’s the woman from before!” Vision said as he finally spoke with a confident voice.
“Who is she? The woman that comes at you earlier?” Steve asked curiously.
“Yes, I believe that she has the ability to control people’s perception.” Vision said as he shook his head in disappointment as he should have thought about this possibility much earlier. The real Wanda wouldn’t call him ‘My Friend,’ let alone comment on his obsession to become human. The only one who would call him that and know about his obsession was only one person!
“Duck!” Vision said solemnly.
