"Cracked?"

Turning on the bedside lamp and looking down at the pendant held in Pepper's hand, Stark also showed a look of surprise.

Just like what Pepper said, of the two gems inlaid on the back of the cross-shaped pendant, the one at the lower end has indeed been cracked... no, it should be said to have been shattered. It's just because the inlay is very strong that it didn't completely disintegrate and fall off.

'How did that happen? ’ Stark subconsciously began to recall: ‘Except when I take it off when I take a shower, I keep it on my neck the rest of the time. Not to mention falling and bumping, the possibility of scratching is almost non-existent. That's not right. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be...'

As I was thinking about it, I suddenly remembered the origin of this pendant and the words I heard when I got it.

"Ah~!" Stark sat up suddenly, eyes wide open, and shouted suddenly: "I understand!"

Frightened by her boyfriend's sudden behavior, Pepper also exclaimed.

The sleepiness that had just arisen disappeared. Looking at the back that was sitting straight, Pepper held the quilt to her chest with one hand, and reached out with the other hand to pat Stark's arm: "Tony? Tony?"

There was no response for the first few calls. After a few seconds, Stark finally turned around and looked at Pepper with shock in his eyes.

His lips moved, but no words came out. He raised his hands again and rubbed his head vigorously for a while as if he was crazy...

After a few seconds of "Ah", he vented some of his extremely chaotic emotions. Finally, Stark found his language skills: "Pepper, I understand. I understand everything~!"

"Tony, what's wrong with you? Do you understand? What are you talking about? Don't scare me~." The more he looked at it, the more frightened he felt. Because of Stark's possessed behavior, Pepper couldn't help but worry, and his face showed An uneasy look.

"No, listen to me." Stark sat up on the bed with his backhand, turned ninety degrees, and took off the pendant from his neck with great excitement, regardless of the lump on his crotch facing Pepper. He hung it in front of Pepper's eyes: "Pepper, do you remember what this thing is called? Remember what Locke said when he gave them to us?"

"Well..." Seeing how excited Stark was, Pepper also sat up: "Let me think about it. If I remember correctly, it seems to be..."

Without waiting for Pepper to answer, Stark had already shouted: "This thing is called the Ankh of Rebirth! Yes, that's the name. Do you remember? Locke said it very seriously at the time, let us wear it. On the body, it is also said that this thing can save our lives in a life-or-death situation. "

"I remembered." Reminded by Stark's words, Pepper's eyes cleared: "It seems that's what he said."

"It doesn't seem like it, he did say it." He clenched his fist with great certainty, with an ankh in his hand. A look of fear appeared on Stark's face: "No wonder I escaped. Pepper, you You know? If I hadn’t listened to Locke and kept wearing it, maybe during the explosion that day, I would have..."

"NO." Really not wanting to hear that word, Pepper quickly reached out her hand and covered Stark's mouth.

After thinking about it again, Pepper's expression couldn't remain calm, and became a little more panicked and scared: "You mean, you were already alive at that time... It was because of it that you survived?"

"It must be so." First he nodded vigorously, and then, in order to further verify, Stark raised his head again: "Jarvis~!"

"I'm here, sir."

"Help me bring up the video records of that day..." Thinking that Pepper might not bear to watch it, Stark waved his hand and changed his words: "Forget it, is there any relevant data about that explosion? Help me list that. Just fine.”

"Yes, Sir."

The white screen that was originally used for watching movies slowly lowered from the top of the wall. Immediately afterwards, a large amount of data that would give ordinary people a headache was sorted out by Jarvis and projected on the screen.

"Jarvis, do the math. With the defensive power of my armor at the time, what were the chances of surviving that explosion?"

"..." I don't know whether it took time to calculate the data, or whether he was worried about Pepper's mood. After a few seconds of delay, Jarvis finally responded: "According to my calculations, under that situation, , your chance of survival is only 0.000003%.”

"It means nothing." He didn't feel uncomfortable at all, but instead he snapped his fingers excitedly. Looking back at Pepper, Stark said excitedly: "Look, Pepper, the result is obvious. It's because of this thing that I saved my life. By the way, do you still remember? At that time When Locke told us those words, he gestured with two fingers and said that this pendant can only be used twice. Look here, there are two gems inlaid behind it. I used it once, so one of them broke. After the first effect, the other piece should also be broken... Hahahaha, I understand, everything makes sense. "

"Tony..." Not knowing how to respond, Pepper just stretched out a pair of arms and hugged Stark tightly.

"Ankh of rebirth, hahahaha, rebirth! Yes, yes, it must be like this." He opened his palms and looked at the cross-shaped pendant lying in his palms, glowing faintly under the light. Stark couldn't help but Whispering.

It's a bit like being possessed by an evil spirit, which is somewhat scary.

But thinking of the answer given by Jarvis just now, Pepper not only did not loosen his arms, but hugged tighter.

"Hmm." Finally feeling the force, Stark lowered his head uncomfortably and looked at the arms around his chest.

Only then did he react and realized that his emotions seemed to be a little wrong.

Stark took a long breath, barely suppressed his inner restlessness, and gently patted Pepper's back: "Well, Pepper, don't hug so tightly, okay? I can't breathe."

"Hmm."

He agreed, but the strength in Pepper's arms did not decrease much.

What should I do? Looking at Pepper, Stark's mind flashed an idea, and it was the only idea.

"Pepper."

"......."

"Pepper?"

"Hmm."

"Look at me."

When Pepper raised her head and met his eyes, Stark threw the pendant in his hand and hugged her.

With a slight force on the waist, the two fell on the soft big bed at the same time.

"JARVIS, turn off the light~!"

Lifting the cup and covering himself and Pepper, Stark invited Pepper again with great excitement.

In the bedroom, which had been quiet, the sound of war gradually rang out again.
