Although the ambulance didn't hit anyone due to Saiki Kusuo's psychic powers, the heart patient being transported inside was startled, suffered a myocardial infarction, and was on the verge of death.
"Please, can anyone help my husband?"
The patient's accompanying family member was crying inconsolably.
"No! He must be taken to the hospital's emergency room within three minutes!"
The accompanying Doctor began a series of rescue attempts, but ultimately looked helpless, stating that the equipment in the ambulance couldn't save him.
Shen He pushed through the crowd to the patient's side, quickly searching his system's backpack to see if there was anything he could use.
Why is it all weapons and daily necessities!
And Qi Shen isn't even here!
"Is there anything I can help with?" Shen He could only ask the Doctor beside him.
"Only God can help him now," the Doctor shook his head.
"Is that so? Then God has arrived."
Suddenly, a slightly frivolous voice came.
The sound of jet engines came from the sky, and a flashy red-and-gold armor flew down.
"It's Iron Man!"
"Iron Man is here!"
The surrounding people suddenly cheered; this was the global sensation of the past six months.
"Alright, fans, step back. Jarvis, scan the patient's condition."
"Myocardial infarction, heart has stopped beating, insufficient cerebral blood supply. Sir, he only has one minute. You cannot save him."
"...Try the defibrillator." Tony knelt down, placing two mechanical palms on the patient's chest. "Two hundred forty volts."
Thump.
A crisp sound.
"No response, Sir."
"Three hundred sixty volts! Inject the dopamine from the armor!"
Tony directly opened his helmet, revealing a familiar mustachioed face.
The surrounding cheers gradually fell silent.
They watched Iron Man continuously press on the patient's chest, yet there was no reaction.
"No—"
The patient's wife collapsed weakly to the ground. This kind of despair after hope is the cruelest.
"Sir, the patient's brain is already damaged."
"Continue! Three hundred sixty volts!"
Tony gritted his teeth, his hands still continuously using voltage to stimulate the heart.
"Sir, your probability of successful rescue is zero percent."
"Enough, it's enough, Iron Man." The patient's wife suddenly grabbed Iron Man's armored arm, crying heartbreakingly, "You are not God, you cannot save him."
"I... I'm very sorry."
Tony's eyes were somewhat blank.
He truly wasn't God, and couldn't save the person in front of him. He couldn't even save himself.
"Keep going, don't stop."
Shen He suddenly grabbed his other armored arm. "No matter if there's hope or not, at least hold on until the last moment."
As long as he could delay until Saiki Kusuo returned, even if it was the last second, there would be hope.
"...Continue, Jarvis!" Tony took a deep breath, his hands continuing to press.
"Sir, brain damage exceeds thirty percent. Brain death can already be determined."
"Don't mind it! Continue!"
Veins popped out on Tony's forehead.
He is Tony Stark! He is Iron Man! How could he succumb to this damned fate!
"Sir, the patient is already—"
"Time Reversal!"
The pink-haired Saiki Kusuo appeared abruptly.
A miracle occurred. The man, whose face had turned green, pupils dilated, and was medically considered dead, in a short instant, his face regained its healthy color, and his silent chest began to rise and fall again.
"The patient is out of danger, Sir. Heartbeat has resumed, and all brain damage is repaired."
"Phew—"
Shen He let out a long breath. Qi Shen finally arrived at the last moment.
"That's great!"
"Amazing! Iron Man!"
"Iron Man! Iron Man! Iron Man!"
The cheering crowd continuously shouted Iron Man's name.
"What's going on? Jarvis?" Tony felt as if he was dreaming.
He had truly given up at that moment, only persevering with the willpower to hold on until the very last moment.
"There is a ninety-seven percent probability that it is due to the pink-haired man in green who suddenly appeared next to you."
Tony searched around and quickly spotted Shen He and Saiki Kusuo trying to sneak away while the crowd cheered.
"Hey, hey, please wait."
His foot thrusters activated, Tony flew over the crowd, stopping in front of Shen He and Saiki Kusuo.
Saiki Kusuo was still carrying a HYDRA assassin tied up with ropes.
"Is there anything, great hero Iron Man?" Shen He looked helplessly at the people staring at them.
"Just now, uh, I mean, do you have time for a cup of milk tea? My treat." Tony also noticed this wasn't the place for a conversation.
"Alright, let's go to the rooftop over there."
Shen He looked up, pointing to the top of a tall building.
Since he had met one of the 'Newbie Village Chiefs,' there was no harm in chatting. The recent events had also given him a good impression of this flashy billionaire.
He might be arrogant and conceited, but he truly deserved the title of hero.
Qi Mu had long wanted to leave, and with Shen He, his figure instantly vanished.
"Woah, Jarvis, did you find anything?" Tony exclaimed.
"No findings, Sir. They seemed to have simply disappeared."
The red Iron Man suit flew upwards, but first went to a milk tea shop to get some desserts, then gracefully landed on the rooftop.
"I don't really like him," Saiki Kusuo remained expressionless.
"It's normal. He's a show-off who wants to display all his talents."
Shen He shrugged. Saiki Kusuo dislikes attention, and Tony is never short of attention.
"Hey, do you guys want some? Honestly, I just got back from a hearing, and I'm a bit hungry." Tony placed the dessert box beside him, took one, and popped it into his mouth. "How did you guys save that person just now? Superpowers? Or something else? I've never heard of someone with brain damage recovering so quickly."
"We can't save you, Tony." Shen He's expression was very serious.
Tony's movements suddenly stopped.
Then his mouth twitched twice, and he gave two dry laughs.
"I am Tony Stark! I am Iron Man! How could I need others to save me?"
"Your physical condition is very poor." Qi Mu's voice suddenly entered Tony's mind. "If you continue to use the energy source in your chest, you only have a few months to live at most."
"Oh, God." Tony clutched his head. "What is this, telepathy? I hate it when someone gets into my head, especially a man."
"Haha, you'll get used to it."
Shen He continued along with Tony's awkward way of changing the subject.
He could, of course, tell Tony where the method to save himself was, but Shen He did not intend to do so.
Because this was Iron Man's trial.
After being lost, going crazy, and finding liberation, this middle-aged man with billions in wealth would truly become the hero who protects Earth, Iron Man.
