Chapter 7 The Trickster
Because even the experienced Natasha didn't see any signs of lying, the Avengers, who are essentially good people, were more willing to believe Qiye than remain suspicious.
...Although his explanation sounds unbelievable no matter how self-defeating it is.
So everyone just wants to believe him, not accept this statement. They choose to believe it because there may be cooperation in the future. Not believing it at all will greatly affect the efficiency in this area.
Because the previous topic was too heavy, everyone didn't want to talk, resulting in an awkward silence. Dr. Banner, out of a scientist's research mentality, couldn't help but said: "Sorry, I can take a look at your
A sword? It’s that… holy sword cast by the planet specifically for aliens…”
Hulk showed up during the Battle of New York, so Banner had no impression of this at all. No matter how curious he was about the principle of this ultimate move, he could only watch the video to satisfy his craving, but the video was not available for him to study. Now the person involved is right in front of him.
, it would be a shame not to ask.
However, although I thought it was amazing when I watched the video, Dr. Banner still had reservations about what kind of planet consciousness cast it... just like the idea that King Arthur faked his corpse.
"Of course." As Qiye raised his hand, like countless mayflies being startled, golden particles appeared out of thin air, floated up and gathered, and quickly condensed into a sword in his hand.
Banner marveled and took over this sword from Qiye's hand, which was exquisite and gorgeous in appearance. When he thought about the power that this sword could exert, it seemed to look even more beautiful in the eyes of everyone.
Tony is also very interested in this topic. After all, if the energy of this sword or the casting method can be analyzed, next time there is an alien invasion, it probably won't be as embarrassing as this time. He was quite polite.
Ask Qiye: "Lend me to study it?"
The closer you observe it, the more you can clearly feel the extraordinary quality of this sword. The feeling that it is so perfect that even if you want to offer opinions, it is very strange.
In the extracted video, the holy sword was surrounded by golden light particles just after it was released from the invisible state. In fact, it was impossible to see anything clearly. The analysis of the video was also interfered with by inexplicable reasons. If you really want to count, this is Tony's third
Once I saw clearly what the sword looked like - I didn't realize that it was not the same sword at all.
Qiye readily agreed to this harmless request, and then handed it to Dr. Banner who stretched out his hand: "But it can't leave me for too long, so..."
"I got it!" Tony became energetic instantly, "You guys keep talking."
Dr. Banner also stood up excitedly: "Sorry, everyone, please excuse me..."
In just a moment, Captain America didn't even react, and the two researchers disappeared from the living room on the top floor of the Avengers Base.
"Uh..." Steve Rogers and the remaining companions looked at each other, and finally could only take the initiative to ease the awkward atmosphere and asked, "Do you want something to drink?"
Qiye said politely: "Just water, thank you."
While Steve was serving water to the guests as a landlord, Natasha brought the topic back: "Is this Gil de Rey who is committing the crime from your Chaldea?"
"...I can't be too clear about the specifics. I can only say that Chaldea is very innocent, but it does need to be dealt with, and Gil de Rey may not be an exception."
Because he had once encountered the situation of traveling to the same world but at a different time, Qiye had the foresight to start laying the groundwork for his future or past self.
"Actually, those things just now should not be told to ordinary people. According to the usual practice, memories need to be cleared. However, the situation has changed now. In the future, the earth will encounter more and more alien invasions like this one, and Chaldea will also
It is impossible to stay silent any longer, there are already some internal differences... This time I would like to say hello to those in the same camp in advance, but I suggest you not to enter the information about Chaldea into the computer, it is very unsafe."
Natasha agreed that typing into a computer was not safe and would truthfully convey it to SHIELD, although she felt that the very suspicious Director Fury might not follow suit.
"Chaldea doesn't want to get involved in the alien invasion, so you are the only one who comes out, right?"
"Yes."
Immediately afterwards, Natasha asked a question that she had wanted to ask for a long time, about what their AI housekeeper mentioned when they were investigating the surveillance video and discovered that the AI was pursuing the case like him: "The one who invaded God
Are the people in the Shield system AI?"
"Yes." Qiye has nothing to admit, "Iron Man knows."
Natasha fell into deep thought.
...With an AI that can modify nuclear weapons-related systems so easily, it’s no wonder he feels it’s unsafe to input information into a computer.
Qiye, who had been tested for a long time, also felt a little tired, so he said confidently without conscience: "You have seen my sincerity. Please seriously consider cooperation. Time is tight. I will visit again in the afternoon. Next I will
There are still some things that need to be investigated, so let’s take the first step..."
After Qiye had left for half a day, Tony and Dr. Banner came out of the laboratory.
"The sword just disappeared!" Dr. Banner said without hesitation, "I haven't analyzed anything yet, it just turned into those golden particles..."
Tony said: "It would be nice if I could give you a little more time... Hey, where are the Arthurians?"
"I left early." Hawkeye had already eaten the potato chips, "Didn't anyone inform you?"
"Oh, it seems that Lao Jia told me." But he obviously didn't think about it. He only remembered it after being reminded, but it didn't matter. He looked at Black Widow and asked, "So, how about it?"
Natasha did not answer Tony, but asked first: "You have already started calling him King Arthur?"
"As long as he is willing to let me study him and his sword, let alone call him King Arthur, just call him Your Majesty, isn't it just a title? Even if he says he is Hitler, we can't lock him up now.
.”
Tony looked very excited. When he sat down, his eyes seemed to be shining. Natasha couldn't help but look away: "You don't know! He didn't wear that armor this time, but his body data is still the same as that of a human being."
It's different, and his sword is so amazing! The sword's data... energy method... all known analysis methods are invalid for it, but give me time and I think I can figure this out..."
Dr. Banner also joined the topic: "I kind of believe his [Planet Casting] statement! Even alien weapons can show artificial traces, but his sword... cannot be recorded... it takes time...
"
Steve Rogers silently interrupted their exchange: "Sorry, can you say something we can understand?"
Dr. Banner paused good-naturedly and explained: "Tony and I decided to temporarily believe his story before he did something worthy of our suspicion."
"Yes, so I'm waiting for you now, Agent Romanoff." Tony pretended to be businesslike, "Tell me your judgment."
While Natasha was waiting for the two scientists to come out, she had already analyzed it for several rounds and prepared the answer: "He must be hiding something, and this Chaldean organization is too secretive. Theoretically, there is no trace at all."
Yes, but it sounds like they have the means to erase other people's memories... Since they keep a distance from ordinary people, maybe they can ask about it from mutants, or look for existences like mages, which may be fruitful."
Tony said nonchalantly: "I turned on the mutant suppression device, but he still transformed the sword, so he shouldn't be a mutant, but I can try this idea. I don't know if he will let me study him...
What do you think about his identity?"
"...King Arthur...Although it is incredible, there is no need for him to make up a life of King Arthur that is so different from the public perception. At least I don't think of the benefits of this now." Natasha frowned, meeting her for the first time.
In this situation, she didn't even know how reliable her experience was. "In fact, as long as we catch the culprit and confirm whether he is Gilles de Rey, we can solve most of our current problems."
Tony immediately said: "Great, now our goal is back to the original point - to catch the criminals of the child abduction case. It's concise and clear, so what are you waiting for? Do you want to cooperate with this Arthur?
Let's vote by hand. I'll vote first."
"I'm a little curious about him, I agree." Natasha and SHIELD will not stop investigating this person, and there is nothing to refuse if they can get up close and personal.
Dr. Banner said: "I want to continue studying his sword, agree."
Steve: "I..."
"Captain, you and he should get along very well. After all, you are not from this century anymore."
"...I agree. Now that we have the same goal, there should be no problem until we catch the prisoner." After Steve finished speaking, he turned to look helplessly at Tony who interrupted, "He doesn't look like he is alive.
He has been around for a long time, and he has an AI partner, so he should be very familiar with modern times."
"So this is a doubt? Do I need to write it down?" Clint said casually, "Well, I am also very curious about him, and I want to solve this case quickly and don't want any more victims to appear, so I agree.
.”
Seeing the situation where almost everyone was defeated, Natasha sighed quietly.
"Either he is the real heroic King Arthur, or he is the most outstanding and boldest person I have ever seen..."
"Liar?" Hawkeye answered.
Natasha thought about the attitude of King Arthur when he just described it, and then subtly changed her tone to a less casual word: "The trickster. He even deceived himself."
