Accelerator only waited for about two hours before setting off.
Shen He didn't pay too much attention.
As long as that place didn't have powerful weapons or some strange ability Inhumans, even a Level 3 Accelerator would be enough. He couldn't always use a sledgehammer to crack a nut, sending his entire army out to deal with a small soldier.
Most importantly, as a male Servant, Accelerator wouldn't make Shen He worry too much.
While waiting, Shen He considered for a long time and decided to go find Tony.
At this time, Tony was in his company, practicing boxing with his assistant Harley to relieve stress.
He was startled when Shen He went over.
"This is rare." Tony wiped the sweat from his forehead. "The most reclusive billionaire in history actually went out. What's up?"
"Indeed, there is something." Shen He's face, uncharacteristically, lacked a smile, instead bearing a hint of gravity. "It's about your parents. Let's find a place to talk."
"My parents?" Tony was taken aback.
But he didn't say anything immediately. He led Shen He to the rest area beside the training grounds. After having Harley bring in a bottle of wine and closing the door, he finally spoke.
"You said my parents, not my father." Tony keenly noticed the difference between the two words. "My mother always gave me the best things immediately. She wouldn't be like my father, hiding things or secrets and making me find them myself."
"How much do you know about the cause of your parents' deaths?" Shen He didn't beat around the bush.
This was a hurdle that couldn't be avoided. He had considered concealing it from Steve, but the problem was that he wasn't the only one who knew, and as a friend, concealing something like this would undoubtedly cause great harm to Tony.
"A car accident…" Tony was silent for a moment, then looked at Shen He. "It wasn't that simple, was it?"
If it had been a simple car accident, Shen He wouldn't have come over so solemnly.
"That's right." Shen He nodded. "They were actually murdered."
"...Who?" Tony asked.
"Hydra," Shen He replied. "You know, your father was involved in the creation of S.H.I.E.L.D., and Hydra had their eye on S.H.I.E.L.D. Naturally, they needed to eliminate those they considered obstacles. Your parents were among them. This information likely only exists within Hydra's internal records."
"..."
Tony lowered his head for a moment, then abruptly stood up, turned, and paced around the lounge a few steps before stopping directly in front of Shen He.
"Why are you telling me this now?"
He wasn't stupid; there had to be a reason Shen He was suddenly bringing this up.
"I didn't tell you before because it was in the past, and I didn't know who gave the order back then." Shen He gestured for him to sit down first. "Your father's death wouldn't cause a catastrophic impact on Human Order, so our seers didn't predict it. These are some fragments I specifically checked before coming here. Originally, I planned to tell you after investigating the results within Hydra."
"...Thank you." Tony sat back down on the sofa, still looking a little shaken. "I really regret now that I didn't kill more of Hydra back then!"
He hadn't been without suspicions that there was more to his parents' deaths, and had even tried to investigate. After all, assassination was nothing unusual for the wealthy.
He himself had even experienced assassination attempts more than once.
But for so long, he hadn't found anything. Coupled with his misunderstanding of his father, he had gradually accepted the car accident as the truth.
And now, at a time when he understood his father's love for him, he learned that his parents had been assassinated.
The filial son wants to provide for his parents, but they are no longer here. This was a great pain for every filial son.
Looking at Tony, who was steeped in guilt, Shen He suddenly thought of something else, and inadvertently said it aloud:
"It seems that there is a Hell in this world."
"What?" Tony was taken aback at first, then his expression became uncontrollably excited. "Are you serious? Does Hell really exist?"
If the legendary Hell existed, it meant his parents might still have souls.
It had to be said that the existence of souls was the greatest comfort to the living, and for Tony, with a friend as impressive as Shen He, it didn't seem like a ridiculous fantasy to bring back his parents' souls.
"I'm not entirely sure either." Shen He gently shook his head. "Worlds like Hell and Heaven aren't so easily observed. It's just that, it seems, I've seen some traces of Hell's existence in this world."
He suddenly regretted mentioning this speculation so quickly.
Because the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
In the fourth season of the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. TV series, the fourth Ghost Rider, Robbie Reyes, appeared, which was enough to prove the existence of Hell.
But what exactly was going on in this world, no one knew.
But…
"It is indeed possible to come back from the dead." Shen He finally decided to give Tony some confidence. "There are people in some worlds who possess this special skill, if you're lucky..."
"Thank you!" Tony interrupted Shen He, his eyes slightly red. He then let out a long breath, looking at Shen He with some embarrassment. "Sorry, He, even after all these years, I still can't accept that they just left me. So, as long as there's even a glimmer of hope, I will try to find them."
Shen He's words gave him hope.
That was enough. He was Iron Man, the one who created miracles.
As long as there was hope, he had confidence.
He was also grateful to Shen He from the bottom of his heart. Perhaps Shen He was the person he had said "thank you" to the most in his life.
"It's nothing, I also have people I cherish, and I can understand this emotion." Shen He shook his head gently, feeling that the time was right. "Actually, I came today to talk about something else, about that assassin who executed the order - he's Bucky, who was brainwashed by Hydra."
Tony's expression froze.
Shen He had just said that he didn't know who was behind the murder of his parents. He hadn't reacted at first, but now that he thought about it, the person behind it naturally couldn't have killed them personally.
Bucky... Steve had specifically gone to look for him, and Tony knew about this person as well.
"Steve doesn't know about this." Shen He also looked helpless. "If I tell him, he might run away with Bucky. You know, Bucky's importance to him might even surpass that of his lover. And the fact is, Bucky was just a puppet without self-awareness when he did those things, so I came to you first, to ask how you plan to deal with Bucky?"
