Marvel: Spear Bureau Technical Advisor

Forward once again broke into Ms. Carter's apartment uninvited.

"If I didn't know your status as a billionaire, I would have thought that you came to my place for dinner at the right time." Peggy Carter, who was interrupted for dinner, rebuked sullenly.

Looking around the room casually, as if admiring the furnishings, he said cheekily, "Actually, I'd love to have dinner with you."

"No, don't even think about it, you don't have dinner here." Ms. Carter coldly rejected the attempt to move forward, "I thought you should be in New York now, and the search for the Whitehall file is not so fast; During this time, the S.H.I.E.L.D. people were devastated."

"Isn't that better? No one will notice your action of calling up files. When it comes to New York, you already know it." Looking forward, it seems that this small room is full of novel things .

"Of course, the whole world knows. I saw Tony rushing into the wormhole; it's hard to imagine him having such courage." Paige finally noticed the sneaking forward movement, "What are you looking for? If you are looking for bugs, I remember telling you that there are none here."

Shaking his head forward: "No, I'm looking for someone."

"Looking for someone? There is no third person in this room except you and me. Are you looking for Gulliver's Lilliputian?"

"Gulliver's Lilliputian... I remember, when you were fostered at Stark's house, you planned to read me famous stories, and the first one was Gulliver's Travels."

"Yeah, but I just told the beginning, and you told me that you've already read the story." Ms. Carter still feels aggrieved when she thinks about it, "You know that in order to communicate with a withdrawn eight-year-old, I did How long did it take to prepare? As a result, I was told that all the preparations were in vain before it even started."

Xiangqian shook his head heartlessly: "Yeah, yeah, my fault. I shouldn't have acted so genius. But who made you remember the name of the original author wrong?"

Ms. Carter was furious: "Did you come here suddenly to recall the past?"

"No, of course not; as I said, I'm looking for someone."

"Who are you looking for?"

At this time, Xiangqian finally found the target he was looking for; he was staring intently at the corner of the wall behind Peggy, in fact, his gaze had passed through the wall and landed on a space farther away.

"What I'm looking for is the old gentleman who is pushing the small dining cart and serving dishes in the kitchen." Qianqian's tone was no longer as casual as before, "Can you invite him to come over for a chat?"

Even Peggy Carter, who has been used to strong winds and waves for decades, couldn't control her expression when she heard Xiang Qiang's words suddenly, and immediately showed a strange expression.

"What are you looking for? You know him?" Ms. Carter continued to pretend to be confused.

Looking forward, she stared at Peggy Carter in front of her: "Aunt Carter, are you in good health recently? If I want to tell you some exciting news..."

Ms. Carter's uneasiness grew stronger: "What do you want to tell me?"

"What I want to say is...about Captain America Steve Rogers—please keep calm and don't get too excited;" Qiangqian noticed that Carter's pupils contracted violently, "SHIELD found him, I was still in the New York saw him. If you keep up with the alien invasion news, you might get a chance to see him again."

Peggy Carter originally wanted to put on a shocked expression, and she began to think about how she would react when she heard the news without knowing it; but when she met Qianqian's meaningful eyes, The fake expression on his face disappeared little by little.

The forward expression made her sure that this kid came prepared, and he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.

Ms. Carter sighed: "When did you find out?"

"Less than three hours."

Carter was puzzled: "I don't understand, we never showed our flaws."

"Yes, no. But... There have never been two identical leaves in the world, and there have never been two identical souls." Xiang Qiang said leisurely.

"Soul? What soul?"

"The soul of Captain Rogers." Said forward, "When I met Steve Rogers in New York, I inadvertently observed his soul; and every time I come to see you to discuss confidential matters, I will observe the soul Come to check the surrounding environment to prevent someone from eavesdropping. Then I was surprised to find two identical souls."

"Steve told me that you are a magician, but he didn't say that you can actually see people's souls...Okay." Ms. Carter sighed resignedly, and pressed the transponder on the table, "Mr. Grant, can you Could you please bring dinner as soon as possible..."

Interposed forward: "Better to send more muffins and trifles; I've always missed the taste of them."

Ms. Carter rolled her eyes angrily, and continued to say to the transponder: "Yes, there are more muffins and muffins. Here comes a gluttonous bad boy. I want you to make it yourself. Please, Mr. Grant .”

After Ms. Carter turned off the transponder, she moved forward and said strangely: "Mr. Grant? Steven Grant Rogers—this is the captain's real name—you are really blatant."

"Yeah, who would've thought he was using his middle name?" Ms. Carter smiled slyly.

"How long has he lived as Mr. Grant?"

"I think...it's been over 60 years."

"Wow!" Xiangqian widened his eyes in amazement, "60 years, diamond marriage?!"

"What's the matter? People in our era were very conservative." Ms. Carter scolded with a smile, "What's the expression on your face? Do you want me to return the muffins and muffins?"

"NONONO!" Qiangqian resolutely confessed, and asked with a wink, "I'm just curious, Aunt Carter; how did you manage to live with Captain Rogers without shame and impatience, and at the same time act like you miss me in front of outsiders? Looking extremely sad?"

Ms. Carter was a little dazed by the question. The phrase "shameless and impatient" was translated forward in "Chinglish", which made her a little confused.

"What...NOBEBASHFUL...and NO...what the hell are you talking about?"

Spreading his hands forward: "Is it difficult to understand? It means literally, that is... Forget it, pretend I didn't ask."

Ms. Carter didn't know how many times she glared at the bad boy in front of her: "Is it difficult for a secret agent leader to lie?"

Thinking forward, the faces of Deputy Chief Hill and Black Widow Natasha floated in front of his eyes, and they nodded in agreement.

At this time, the bedroom door opened, and "Mr. Grant" came in pushing the dining car.

In Qianqian's eyes, the old man has white hair and wrinkles on his face, and he really can't see the heroic and fearless appearance of Captain America; but if you look closely at the contours of the face, you can still see some of his youthful appearance.

"It's an honor to meet you...Mr. Grant." He greeted him with an inexplicable tone.

"The muffins you want, and the muffins." Grant didn't respond to the greeting, and put the two plates on the table heavily, with a bad attitude that was visible to the naked eye.

Looking forward at a small muffin that fell on the table, he pretended to be stunned and said, "You seem very unhappy to see me."

"Am I not being obvious enough?" said Mr. Grant, much softer now, as he fed Catbou.

Xiang Xiang was puzzled: "Why? We just met for the first time."

"First time? Of course not the first time. Regardless of the past, present or future, you are an out-and-out bad boy." Grant's expression was indifferent but his words were indifferent, "What I didn't expect was that you... No, it was just now; you turned down Tony's invitation to a party in order to come to London to find me."

It is "past", "future", "at that time" and "just now", and Xiangqian heard many things from these confusing time expressions.

"So, what happened in New York is your past?" Xiangqian pointed to the most critical question, "You and the Steve Rogers who participated in the Battle of New York are the same person? It's just that one day in the future, you will come back At some point 60 years ago?"

This question made Grant hesitate: "I don't know if it's the same person. Tony and you, and Dr. Banner, you have said a lot of theories about space-time and timeline; to be honest, I didn't understand it. "

"Then you can always tell me how you got here?" Qianqian asked.

Grant smiled lightly: "I know what you want to ask; no, it's not the time stone."

"You know the Time Stone?"

"Of course, I was... well, in the future. The future Karma Taj will fight alongside the Avengers many times, and of course I know about the Time Stone. I've actually seen all six Infinity Stones."

Curious forward: "It sounds like a lot of stories have happened."

"Yes, a lot happened; but, are you sure you want to hear it?" Grant seemed to be asking a question, but in fact the expression on his face had already expressed refusal.

Xiangqian suddenly realized: "By the way, Karma Taj's precepts - don't try to change history, and don't try to control the future - you know this too?"

"Of course, Tony and you have warned me countless times; the Supreme Master of Karma Taj has said the same thing once."

"Supreme Mage?"

"Yes, Dr. Strange. He will fight alongside us more than once in the future." Grant had no idea that his reiteration of the Karma Taj precept would actually result in a violation of the precept.

Xiangqian secretly wrote down this strange name in his heart, and asked calmly: "Since you know the precepts, why did you violate the precepts when it comes to my affairs?"

"What? I do not get it?"

"I'm talking about the fact that I was fostered at the Stark family when I was a child." Qianqian said in a deep tone, "I have to say that knowing your existence today has solved a question that has been lingering in my heart. Why did Carter Auntie and Howard will look at me differently? Aunt Carter is actually in charge of this matter, and she is influenced by you from the future. Right?"

Grant looked puzzled: "I did remind Peggy to take care of you, because..."

"Because you know I'm special." Qianqian interrupted the other party, "Besides, I can't think of why you would pay special attention to an eight-year-old child. Yes, my parents are to protect Howard and Aunt Carter And sacrificed, but there are hundreds of agents sacrificed by the Lance and SHIELD every year, why am I the only one who is treated specially?"

"To show your sincerity in cooperating with the Divine Spear Bureau? Please, is there no more effective and direct way besides taking care of an eight-year-old child?" Xiang Qiang asked with a sneer.

Grant stopped the forward words: "Wait, you are saying that you were fostered in the Stark family because of my appearance? But I just contributed to the fact that it should have appeared."

"Should it have appeared?" Now it was Xiang Qiang's turn to be confused.

"Of course." Grant said, "Before I traveled through time, I heard you and Tony talk about your past more than once. It is precisely because I know that you were once fostered by the Stark family that I remind Peggy Do it with Howard. It was going to happen, I just ... just pushed it out of it."

Taking a breath forward: "You are not as simple as pushing, Mr. Grant. You are pushing a closed loop on the timeline!"

"closed loop?"

"Yes, closed loop."

Thinking forward, he used his fingers to draw a curved pattern of large loops and intertwined lines in the air, and then explained: "Your timeline looks like a roller coaster in an amusement park; have you ever seen the track of a roller coaster? There are twists and turns, and a big loop in the middle, but no matter how the route changes, the vehicle is actually going forward all the time—just like your time."

Such a simple metaphor is quite easy to understand, and Grant nodded after thinking about it for a while.

"But when your timeline overlaps with mine, the situation becomes different." Xiangqian said, "You in the future know the history of me being fostered in Stark's house, so go back to the you in the past It also contributed to this fact. In this matter, a complete closed loop of causality has been formed."

"So?" Grant smiled bitterly, "The way you look now reminds me of very bad memories. When you discussed the timeline with Tony and Banner, no one could understand what you said."

"You, Captain. You are the driving force behind the formation of this closed loop, but you eventually left the closed loop." Qianqian began to mutter, "When did you enter the closed loop, and how did you get out?"

Grant's head was about to explode: "Sorry, this is more troublesome than Karma Taj's time commandment. If you must ask me this question, I think it's easier to just tell you what will happen in the future."

I lost my mind a little bit forward, then reacted, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Well, time theory is always full of mysteries and various paradoxes, forget it. Back to the topic just now, if you don't rely on the time gem, you are how come?"

Grant hesitated to speak.

"Why, it's hard to say?" Qianqian thought thoughtfully, "Do you think that once this method of traveling through time and space is exposed, it will also affect the future direction of time and space?"

"I'm not good at judging."

"Aha, it's up to you, don't say it if you don't say it."

Xiangqian seemed to want to give up, but was a little unwilling.

"Can't you even tell which aspect of power this method belongs to? Magical? Supernatural? Technological...technical!" Qiangqian asked casually, until suddenly he stopped drinking, making Grant startled suddenly , and then became exasperated.

"Damn! I actually forgot that you understand psychology and micro-expression judgment." Grant said angrily, "You are so annoying from the beginning to the end."

"Hey! From the beginning to the end? It seems that your feelings are quite deep."

"Of course, every time I see you, people have a deeper understanding of your bad nature; even today is no exception." Grant said, "I didn't know until today that you can observe and judge a person's soul." , and you never revealed that."

"It's not surprising that I'm good at keeping secrets, right? After all, my parents are secret agents. Even when I was in foster care, Aunt Carter and Howard were the founders of the world's largest intelligence agency."

Xiangqian poked the old captain's lung tube nonchalantly: "More importantly, it was you who put me next to them."
