Marvel Book of Magical Events

The bone-chilling coldness of the melting glacier woke her up instantly, and her hazy sleepiness disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Victoria Hand has been living here for several days. Except for the old professor who led her into the valley (referring to Master Hamil) and some stupid young people, she has not seen anyone. Even the courses are written in Print on paper rather than flipping through a hard copy like everyone else. At first, she was prepared to eat wild animals every day, but she didn't expect that all her food would be vegetables and meat sent up the mountain by herdsmen on pack horses from the foot of the mountain, and food from all over the world sent here by the First Secret Corps on cargo aircraft. food. However, this did not change the isolated nature of this place. If it were not for the excellent communication system here and news from Latovinia being sent here continuously, otherwise she would not even be able to remember why she was studying here.

The information she knows, the stories she hears, and the scenery she sees every day all tell her that the troubles she once thought were a huge threat to world peace and the survival of the human race are just some inconspicuous twists and turns. A terrorist detonating a nuclear bomb will not have a devastating impact on the entire human society, and some murderers with special abilities who are on the watch list will not be free for too long, let alone destroy the achievements created by the development of human society so far. All civilization.

This group of people who came from nowhere and have been stationed here for thousands of years are always vigilant against the real enemy.

In the eyes of these people, S.H.I.E.L.D.’s claim to be the guardian of mankind is extremely ridiculous and arrogant. Victoria Hand, who was still proud of her identity as S.H.I.E.L.D., was a little annoyed at first, but as she learned the story More and more, she became more and more aware of her ignorance. Only now did Victoria Hand understand why the Emperor showed disgust when he first came into contact with S.H.I.E.L.D. It wasn’t because S.H.I.E.L.D. received the U.S. government’s budget and did some dirty work for the U.S. in private. The Emperor didn’t care at all about the differences between secular societies. What he hates is that SHIELD will never know who the real enemy is.

If you can't point the gun at the real enemy, then the most powerful weapon is just scrap metal.

The emperor asked her to come here to guide her to find the real enemy and let her understand what exactly needs to be fought. The emperor hopes that she can support him in completing this cause. Although the intuition of a long-time agent told her that the old professor hid many secrets during his lectures, they were only the relics left by the ancient wars, the mythical stories that cleared up the fog, the spoils left in the eternal war, and the huge sacrifices. The supernatural creatures captured at a cost, etc., are enough to prove that this organization is indeed what they say, performing duties that others cannot perform, protecting those who cannot protect themselves from the enemy.

"I want to know what happened yesterday." Victoria Hand, who woke up, did not start the class immediately, but asked about the deformed thing she saw yesterday, "I want to know the story of that thing."

Yesterday, the old professor told her that the Himalayan snow monster footprints that were seen many years ago were actually the product of illegal experiments on magical creatures that escaped from prison. This was not particularly surprising news to Victoria Hand, because she had seen more terrifying creatures yesterday, humans who were deformed and demented by magic, completely crazy and uttered blasphemy. This was a healthy adult, but it turned out that the reason for this person's situation was just ignorant rural superstition.

Superstition drives this adult to do irreversible things.

She killed her family and ate their flesh because the end of the world was coming.

That happened in the northwest countryside of the United States in 2012. Although this village believes in Christianity, the nature of the Protestant religion has made it a fusion of local Indian customs and legends. Since the ancestors of these white people once again lived in the village, this fusion of beliefs has become a local custom. The Chitauri invasion was widely disseminated by television media, and many superstitious cults such as alien advent sects and doomsday theories were widely spread. Drug abuse combined with superstition led to the spread of mass hysteria. According to the guidelines of custom, everyone performed rituals. When the mystics of Kama Taj received the alarm from the planetary defense system and rushed to the scene, only the deformed woman whose chest and abdomen skin and muscles had completely grown together with her thighs survived.

The vivisection provided evidence that the giant lump of flesh that had once been human was long dead.

Her arms are raised high and grow together with her cheeks, her fingers are forced to straighten and maintain fixed gestures, her eyes almost protrude from their sockets, and her eyelids have completely disappeared. Her birth canal grew unnaturally and expanded to dozens of times that of an ordinary person, and her internal organs were stuck together in a mess, as if she had given birth to a giant with a human body. However, she did not eat or drink but she was still alive. She was torn apart but still alive, as if there was some supernatural power supporting her consciousness and healing her body. Her soul was completely desecrated, and even the most experienced interrogators were unable to learn the full story from her, let alone what was born from her after the ceremony.

"The Buffalo God, this is the result we inferred through local literature, originating from the ancient beliefs of the Indians. What is certain is that the person who responded to the ceremony was definitely not the Buffalo God but a darker existence, but we can only Call that thing the Buffalo God." Under Victoria Hand's repeated questioning, Master Hamil revealed some secrets. "Because we believe that the woman gave birth to a cow, or a supernatural creature similar to a cow. Before that, the village was not dangerous, and Christianity that incorporated Indian customs was not particularly uncommon, even the ones they used for preaching The holy book was just nonsense, no magic. Even so, the ritual worked, and something answered the call and came to earth."

"How was this resolved?" she asked. "Did you find the creature?"

After a long time, Master Hamil sighed. "No, we didn't." He opened his eyes and looked at Victoria. "We found nothing but pastures and wilderness nearby. After that, there were no more murders in that area, no drug addicts, no murderers, who I don’t know when that creature will commit a murder.”

"Isn't there any clue?" she asked. "Has this happened many times?"

"The questions must be answered one by one." Master Hamil was not angry because of Victoria's impatience. He has taught many students, and Victoria's patience is quite good. "There are no clues, and divination shows that the monster has been wandering in the wilderness of Montana. We have organized hunts, but found nothing."

"second question."

"It doesn't happen often, but that's because we are vigilant enough and the boundary between reality and illusion is stable enough. If you are lucky enough, that thing will most likely be consumed by the laws of reality and disappear. If you are not lucky, it will very likely A group of cult followers may develop and then summon more of the same kind. The latter is more likely, after all, those terrifying beings will not summon them for no reason." Master Hamil said, "However, the boundary between reality and illusion is not static. . You can imagine, if superstitious people can use random scriptures to summon extradimensional spiritual entities, what a terrifying sight the rituals performed by well-trained cultists will be. More and more powerful extradimensional entities They will obtain the physical body of the real universe, and they will wear the victim's skin to disguise themselves. Even experienced mystics cannot tell the existence under the skin at first glance, and even genetic coding testing will not help."

"So how do we eliminate such latent means?" Victoria Hand quickly grasped the point. "I'm not a wizard. I can only think through my professional skills." She said, "Or is it that some defense methods that I don't know about have already been implemented?"
