Several people walked into the clinic. Dottie looked around and found that this was indeed a dental clinic with a full set of equipment.
"This place is totally different from what I imagined. There's no technology at all." Dottie complained, then asked, "Whose name is York written on the door? Is that your last name?"
"No, York is my adopted father's name."
"Wow, he must be a super cool guy...or is he actually an alien?" Dottie began to imagine that an alien family had lived in seclusion on Earth and had been observing human civilization since the Stone Age.
"He was just an ordinary, good guy." Thinking of old York, Duke couldn't help but sigh: "He passed away some time ago in a car accident."
"I'm sorry, Dottie didn't mean it." Carter glared at Dottie, but the other party couldn't see her in her soul state.
"Dr. Duke, please accept our condolences. The deceased is gone, and we should live stronger so that the dead can rest in peace in heaven." Steve comforted.
About a minute later, the light gradually became sufficient, and the few people fell to the ground, and the view in front of them suddenly became clear. In a large square laboratory, dozens of researchers in white coats were concentrating on the project at hand, occasionally exchanging a few words.

Just as Steve was about to ask a question, he saw Duke jump into the deep pit, and then a faint force wrapped around him, pulling him into the abyss. Carter and Dottie also enjoyed the same treatment. The three of them were lifted up in the air by a gentle force and slowly flew downwards.
There was a pause, and Dottie said to herself, "Seriously, he's much more dangerous than Hydra."
Pushing open another door beside the stairs, Steve and the other two saw a square hole with no bottom at first sight. The three of them were skilled and brave enough to look down, and could vaguely see a ray of light at the end, but the distance was too far to estimate the actual depth.
“Is this a dream?”
If this is the case, it would be fine, but all the researchers have the same face, which is worth recalling, and this face is exactly the same as Duke's. The three of them were silent when they saw this scene. Carter, who had a wild imagination, even guessed that the planet where Duke was located looked similar.
The basement was different. It looked empty, but it was full of mysteries. There were two wooden doors beside the stairs. One door was a teleportation array. The other door was a laboratory that he had spent countless efforts to build. It was five meters high and covered an area of more than a thousand square meters. It was obviously impossible to hollow out such a large area under Brooklyn, so the technology used to build this laboratory was not conventional. It was obtained from Urahara Kisuke in the Bleach World. The Masked Corps base used this technology, and the area was much larger than Duke's laboratory.
Steve covered his face, feeling extremely aggrieved: "It's less than seventy years. I calculated it, and it's only sixty-five years."
Duke handed over a mirror at the right time. The image in the mirror made Carter feel familiar and strange at the same time. It was her appearance when she was 20 years old. Time went back to the past, and Carter was speechless.
Steve was confused. As innocent as he was, he couldn't understand Duke's dirty talk at all: "What do you know?"
Carter couldn't adapt to her new body for a while, and she fell to the ground and struggled to stand up. She looked at her hands in surprise, and touched them from her cheeks all over her body. She could feel the strong beating of her heart and the delicate touch from her fingertips.
Steve asked Dottie: "What did you understand? Can you tell me?"
"What is this?" Carter asked quickly.
"It's okay. The mastermind behind this has committed suicide and old York can rest in peace now." Duke didn't want to continue this heavy topic.
"They are my clones." Duke only said this, and never talked about the clones. He could explain the secrets of the Marvel world to the three people, but he rarely mentioned his own abilities. Firstly, he wanted to maintain the mystery, so that the SHIELD behind Carter would be cautious and not ask for trouble. Secondly, he was not interested in spending a lot of time explaining abilities. The villain died because of his chatterbox, and his abilities would be worthless if they were mentioned.
Steve and the other two: “…”
In addition, Duke also set up a barrier around this clinic to isolate energy and drive away idlers. Unless they were patients who came to see a doctor, or people who specifically asked for Duke, such as couriers, other people would subconsciously ignore this clinic.
Dottie gritted her teeth, took a step forward and then put it down again. She understood Carter and knew the depression he had suppressed in his heart over the years. Although she was very unhappy, she did not disturb him. She could only turn her head away so that out of sight, out of mind.
I'm not helping them just to make Peggy happy, Dottie consoled herself.
Duke led the three of them to the basement. This two-story building had already been renovated by him. From the outside, the clinic looked plain, but it was actually quite impressive.
Steve stood there, wanting to catch up, stretched out his hand and then put it down.
Duke had a very dark face. He didn't understand what he should have understood, but he understood what he shouldn't have understood.
To Steve and the other two, this artificial body looked like a corpse that had been soaked in formalin for a long time, and it was skinned. The muscle fibers were clearly visible, and the naked eyes stared straight ahead, which was very creepy. Carter was unwilling to live in this body. Everyone loves beauty, even if she is already an old lady. Steve and Dottie also shook their heads. Haven't you seen that when Fairy Zixia turned into Zhu Bajie, Zhizunbao vomited.
Duke grabbed Carter's soul and stuffed her into the artificial body. Instantly, the artificial body began to emit white smoke and turned from a medical specimen into a curvy beauty wearing a tight-fitting outfit.
The clones didn't even raise their heads when they saw Duke. Duke walked around them and went to the warehouse where the finished products of the experiment were placed. He took the white humanoid artificial body from the shelf. The artificial body technology was also provided by Urahara Kisuke. The technology he provided was obviously an old product from many years ago. The manufacturing process was cumbersome and not durable. But the benefits were also obvious, that is, the technical content was not high, and the materials required were very ordinary, just right for Carter to be the container of his soul.
With her fair skin, youthful and beautiful eyebrows, and a beautiful and heroic figure, Carter was indeed a rare beauty when she was young. Anyway, Duke heard two sounds of swallowing saliva in his ears, one was Steve, and the other was... Dottie.
As for the second floor, he moved all kinds of experimental equipment that were originally filled to the basement, and now there are only a few empty rooms left, one of which is Duke's bedroom, although he rarely uses it.
"It's normal for aliens to fly. That's how it's played out in the movies. There's nothing strange about it. Oh, I forgot. You haven't seen a movie in seventy years." Dottie never forgets to attack her love rival. She feels happy when she sees the captain get humiliated. She feels indescribably refreshed.
Back to her twenties, Carter regained her youthful confidence. She suppressed her joy and walked slowly to Steve with graceful steps, her eyes full of tenderness and affection. Steve was too good, and she didn't dare to stay with him even though she was too old, but now she could renew her past relationship.
The first floor is a formal private dental clinic, similar to a community hospital, which specializes in receiving dental patients. It is just a little smaller in scale and has just been renovated but has not yet opened.
Doty nodded and wiped the saliva from her mouth: "Dr. Duke, this design is perfect! It's very user-friendly. I understand."
Pah! Instead of throwing herself into his arms, the beauty slapped him hard in the face.
Carter slapped Steve in the face, pulled him by the collar, and said angrily: "Liar! You stood me up... for seventy years!"
Suicide? Who would believe that?
"This is an artificial body, a temporary container used by the soul when it appears in front of normal people. It looks ugly but it will automatically change according to the appearance of the soul. In terms of appearance, it is difficult to distinguish between it and a real person. But there is still a difference. Because it is not a real body, hiding in the artificial body for a long time will gradually make it difficult to use the artificial body and unable to control the movements of the artificial body. Eventually, the soul will be in a scattered state. However, fixatives can be used to fix the soul in the artificial body. In general, as long as the soul particles are replenished every half a month, it will basically not delay its use." Duke suddenly raised his eyebrows at Steve and smiled a smile that all men understand: "Captain, Ms. Carter is almost the same as an ordinary person now, so you understand!"
As for why Duke was able to complete such a large project in just a few weeks, it was all thanks to his large number of shadow clones, otherwise it would have taken more than half a year to bid.
"Peggy..." Steve was so excited that he was at a loss, just like when he first met Carter. He opened his arms and was about to embrace Carter in his arms.
Dottie doesn't believe it, Carter doesn't believe it, but Steve...the captain might believe it!
"I'm really sorry, I wronged you." Carter's face turned cold when she heard that, and she turned and left. Dottie immediately followed her and surrounded her, asking about her well-being.
Duke sighed and patted his shoulder. "No wonder you have been single for so many years. You should have held her back and kissed her into a puddle. Also, when your girlfriend is angry, don't talk back to her. Let her vent her anger, then say a few nice words to comfort her and it will be over. Look at Dottie, she is much more capable than you."
"Peggy is not a superficial woman. She doesn't like sweet words. Doctor, I'm not bragging. The reason I'm single is that I've been sleeping all the time. If that incident hadn't happened, I would have married Peggy long ago." The depressed Steve said stubbornly.
"Yes, yes, and then within two years, you divorced." Duke hated him for not fighting and sentenced him to death. Captain, you are too naive. How could there be a woman in the world who doesn't like sweet talk! Just when Duke was teaching Steve how to pick up girls, Dottie and Carter came back.
"Doctor, when you built this place, didn't you ever think of installing an elevator?"
