A Little Thing in the Marvel Universe

Chapter 24 Occult Research

Louis Williams, Secretary of Energy.Today is a troubled time, and there is no immediate crisis in energy. Naturally, he does not receive much attention in front of the president.

However, just because the president does not value him does not mean that others do not value him.In fact, Secretary Williams is quite popular in Congress, is also very prestigious among companies in the energy field, and is even a pivotal figure in energy-related academic fields.It can even be said that if the Stark family had not developed the unparalleled Ark Reactor, then the most outstanding contributor in the energy field in the world today would probably be Louis Williams.

The reason is simple. SHIELD's plan to develop the Cosmic Cube to rid mankind of the energy crisis once and for all is based on his theoretical research.It is a pity that Louis Williams, who was at the height of his career in academia, suddenly abandoned his studies and entered politics, and Loki suddenly jumped out to disrupt the situation and snatched the Cosmic Cube. Minister Williams and S.H.I.E.L.D. simultaneously missed the opportunity to change the course of human history.

The main culprit for this tragic consequence, in addition to Loki who guided the Chitauri army to invade the earth, seems to be that he has personally practiced the feasibility of occultism, and used the practical results to overturn the two sides of Williams's outlook on life. Individuals, namely Belle's parents, descendants of declining aristocrats who are unknown in France, Nicolas de Tefler-Piqué, and a Ph.D. in theoretical physics from China who had been engaged in string theory research before his death. , Yu Pu.

After Minister Williams revealed that he had a "pen pal relationship" with Belle's parents, no one in the group cared about eating anymore.Regarding Belle's life experience, SHIELD has been investigating for so long but has not found any decent results. Belle herself can't explain why. Unexpectedly, they found clues here.

"No one has ever asked me."

Facing the questioning of a group of people represented by Tony Stark, Minister Williams said helplessly.

In fact, the so-called pen pal does not mean correspondence.S.H.I.E.L.D.'s investigation is meticulous, and no matter whether it is an email or a post office record of sending and receiving letters, they cannot escape their eyes.Unexpectedly, the correspondence between Minister Williams and Belle's parents was actually through annotations in a library book, and the book was eventually bought by Williams and brought back to his home.

They came across this book, "Three Mysteries," which was incompatible with the tone of the entire room in Minister Williams' astonishing study.

"I said, Mr. Minister, why don't you just bring out a set of "One Hundred Thousand Whys"?" Belle, the only one who understands Chinese culture, put her hand on her forehead and tried not to curse out loud.

The so-called Sanxuan is actually the collective name of the three books "Laozi", "Zhuangzi" and "Zhouyi".Just use Sanxuan as the title of the book, and then put Lao Zhuang and Zhou together to publish a book, which is equivalent to "Four Hardcover Classics", "Complete Works of Shakespeare's Dramas", "Old Wang Teaches You to Read Four Books" and the like. The hot stamped covers were then sold exclusively to the nouveau riche as gadgets to put in their homes for show.Of course, it is also possible to see similar books placed in a weather-beaten manner on a stall in a rural market, along with counterfeit copper coins and a ceramic Stalin bust, on a tattered red cloth spread on the ground, with a There is an old man who practices stalls with the same vicissitudes of life.

"This was the book your parents valued most back then. Why don't you read it?" Williams said, handing the book to Belle.

Belle didn't want to see it, she didn't believe in these things at all.

Judging from Secretary Williams's collection of books, when a person's reading is so rich that it ranges from "General History of the World" to "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy", from "The Republic" to "Mein Kampf", from "Feynman Physics" "Lecture Notes" to the latest issue of "Nature" magazine, it is difficult for you to understand that this kind of people actually believe in mysticism and metaphysics.

Williams noticed that Belle had not opened the book and guessed that she did not like such things.So in front of Belle, he quickly flipped through the "Three Mysteries" in his hand from beginning to end, and showed her a lot of notes inside. Three different handwritings could be clearly seen on it, which should be respectively From Belle's parents, and from Minister Williams himself.

"Your parents were probably the most accomplished occult researchers in the world at that time. I accidentally found the note they left in this book in the library. At that time, just out of boredom, I wrote a reply to the note. , which started a long debate with your parents."

"Then what?" Belle asked, "Did they convince you to believe in the occult through such debates? Did they predict your future? Or guess your thoughts through mind reading?"

Tony obviously also felt that it was the debate in this book that made a talented scientist give up academia. If this is the case, then the content in this book should not be read casually by Belle. It is not good to teach children bad things. .So he took the book from Williams and said, "How can anyone read this to a young girl? I don't know how you managed to get such a beautiful wife back then. But I do think this book is quite interesting."

Minister Williams curled his lips and said, "What convinces me is not your parents' words, but their actions and their achievements, that is, you."

"What do you mean?" Belle said confused.

"In order to completely convince me, they invited me to visit a ceremony. I didn't know what I was thinking at the time, but I really agreed. Then, I saw something that completely subverted my outlook on life. Your parents used A stone that didn't know where it came from, coupled with their own blood, performed some mysterious ritual. That night, your mother became pregnant and gave birth to you early the next morning. They called you, the miracle of God. .”

……

Tony still didn't let Belle read the book carefully, but locked it up and personally sent it back to Avengers Headquarters. First, SHIELD made a copy for research, and then the original was given to him who was best at studying mysterious events. Character, Doctor Strange.

Captain America and Happy were drinking and chatting in the bar on the first floor of the hotel. Happy ignored the fact that he was also a bachelor and was teaching Captain America how to pick up girls.

"You have to be more proactive, Captain, look at you," Happy looked up and down exaggeratedly, "You are just too serious. If you have even the slightest bit of energy like my boss, girls all over the world will surround you." Follow you. Of course, sincerity is the most important thing. Agent Carter is different from the cover girl of Playboy, right?"

They were chatting downstairs, and in the suite upstairs, Pepper, Sharon, Belle and Peter were playing cards together.

"I just think this is really interesting," Belle complained while grabbing cards. "If her parents are alive and her family is happy, she seems embarrassed to tell people that she can be an Avenger."

"It's simply irrefutable." Peter was also grabbing cards, but he tried to control himself to focus on the cards in his hand. Otherwise, with his super sensitive vision, he could see the other three hands in the reflection of other people's eyes. "The captain's parents are definitely gone. Then me, you, Wanda, Mr. Stark, the situation is similar. As for the other people, I haven't seen them very much."

"Don't talk nonsense, I am looking forward to a happy family life in the future." Pepper said.

"You remember the last time Tony's house was blown up by a missile, right?" Sharon made a stab at the side, "It's hard to say whether you are happy or not, but it must be very exciting."

"At least Tony won't be in a relationship with my aunt," Pepper said.

"But he's with tons of people...you know," Sharon said, glancing at Pepper, and the two laughed together.

It wasn't until late at night that they went back to their rooms to sleep.At least before leaving, both Pepper and Sharon felt that Belle didn't seem to be greatly affected.

"This kid is different from what you said," Sharon whispered to Pepper.

"No, no, no, look at this photo, really." Pepper took out her phone and found the photo of Belle and Vanessa being drunk together that night.

Belle wasn't as bad as Pepper thought, but she was still very grateful to the two of them for spending the whole night with her like they were playing tricks, so that she wouldn't have to think too much.

But she's definitely not that good.Although as a time traveler, it is possible to become anything, a man, a woman, a pet cat, a lizard, a cockroach, a foxtail grass, beer, drinks, mineral water, peanuts, melon seeds, crispy intestines, anything is possible. .But it is still very difficult for her to accept that she may not be a regular human being.

She looked quite similar in every way, the only problem was that no one was born in just one day.

"Am I really the evil god summoned by those two lunatics through evil rituals?" She couldn't help but talk to herself while sitting on the rooftop.

The rooftop is a great place, especially for random thoughts.

Considering the title of the Goddess of Vengeance, the word Evil God is well deserved, at least Loki is unable to compete with her.

"First of all, it's not good to refer to your parents as 'those two lunatics'. The captain will educate you." Peter climbed up from the outer wall of the building, "Second, if you were the evil god, why did you save me in the first place? ? It can’t be because of the money for those two clothes, right?”

"What are you doing here?" Belle didn't appreciate it.

He walked over to Belle and sat down, casually shooting a few spider webs to the side.

"There are many mosquitoes at night in summer. Staying near spiders can effectively prevent mosquito bites. It is much more effective than toilet water and mosquito repellent bracelets."

The two sat together in silence and awkwardness for ten minutes before Peter couldn't help but speak first.

"I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but I did just hear Agent Carter and Miss Potts chatting quietly about how you were crying that night."

"It's just eavesdropping if you don't mean to eavesdrop," Belle said in a low voice, "Besides, how do I know what night they are talking about? Was it the day when I watched a movie and saw Gwen Stacy die, or was it the day when I watched " "Tsunami Miracle" saw the day when Lucas successfully survived?"

"I guess it was the day when the zombies came to the door, right?" Peter said. "The captain told me something about Wade Wilson. To be honest, I don't like him very much."

"You don't need to like him, Vanessa is enough. They are a really weird couple."

"It's really weird that a guy like that can actually find a girlfriend. I thought he would be lonely to death. Alas," Peter said, unable to help but sigh, "What can I say about him? I'm still... Being single is not as good as him.”

"It's good that you remain single. If you find a female spider, it won't eat you."

"Then I wish you good teeth and a good appetite. It's a pity that the name Black Widow already has an owner, otherwise you can still use it."

"Let's wait until you are taller than me to discuss this matter."

……

On the other side, Tony Stark personally delivered the book to Avengers Headquarters. Before he could return to Washington, he received a call from Dr. Eric Silverg.

"Tony, you can't believe it. There's no way you can make a copy of that book you brought!"
