Marvel Book of Magical Events

If Agent Coulson had doubts about Enoch's origin before, now he has completely believed in Enoch's identity. If it weren't for the androids who were sent to Earth to perform observation missions 30,000 years ago, Yi It was absolutely impossible for Nok to witness so much history that modern people can only know from legends and stories. As a way to pass the time, Agent Coulson frequently asked Enoch to show him the history of mankind. Even the bloody history of human history, filled with famines, wars and plagues, is still the best way for Agent Coulson to learn and research in this small room.

He learned a lot, witnessed a lot, and after all there was no better history teacher in the world than Enoch. In this room, Enoch and Constantine prepared scented candles for him to stabilize his spirit, and medical equipment to ensure his physical health. He could learn everything he needed for the upcoming mission without any scruples. . He witnessed the rise and fall of dynasties, witnessed wars and plagues, witnessed the fire of wisdom and invention and the raging fire of ignorance and superstition. It seemed to be some kind of instinct. Enoch was always present when every historical event occurred.

"Wait, pause!"

Hearing Agent Coulson's request, Enoch reached out and pressed the pause button. He pointed at the man wearing a knight's armor in the picture. The smoke from the battlefield had blackened the knight's robe, and the blurred coat of arms was covered with old bloodstains, making it unclear where he belonged. The tired horse's hooves were covered with mud and it was carrying trophies wrapped in rags. Agent Coulson could almost smell the tired and sad breath through the image.

"where is this place?"

"During the Hundred Years' War between England and France, in two minutes you will see the most famous female general in human history, a special individual you humans call Joan of Arc." Enoch tilted his head, "I After going through that war. At that time, the French king raised a batch of supplies for the siege of Paris, and the crockery workshop I purchased received an order." He provided another piece of information very honestly, "At that time, almost the entire crockery business in Paris They were all monopolized by me, and my customers also included the British, who needed some earthen jars to store tar. At the same time, I also purchased several mills in villages under the control of the French army, and I was able to provide a lot of flour to them. The armies of both sides are not meddling in human affairs..."

At this point, even Agent Coulson could see a trace of panic on Enoch's unchanged face. However, he does not want to pursue Enoch's mission definition, because now Enoch has decided to intervene in human affairs, and he does not care about the truth of what happened in the past - but Agent Coulson also wants to know why every historical event Enoch would be present when it happened, and he could tell just by intuition that this was not a simple coincidence. "No, I mean...don't you think this guy looks familiar?" Agent Coulson asked, pointing to the knight on the screen. The knight only occupies one-fifth of the screen. If Enoch hadn't passed by the knight in the carriage, Agent Coulson might not even have noticed him. "I've seen him in several of the videos you played."

"There are always people who look similar in this world. This is just a matter of probability of epigenetics. Civilizations in the world are not without communication. Ethnic migration and cultural integration are happening every moment, and genome characteristics thousands of miles away are also changing. It will be reflected in another person. There is nothing surprising about this. I once saw two people in Jerusalem who were not related by blood but looked similar. The two people were in different camps at that time. One of them fell under the horse's hoof. In the blood.”

Enoch shook his head, not very interested in this simple topic, as if the wars of mankind had left scars on his soul. "If you continue reading, you will find that this person is closely related to Joan of Arc, but I have never found his name in the history books compiled by humans. He may be a mercenary, or he may be a spy. At that time, the military camp There are people from all backgrounds, so there’s no need to pay too much attention.”

"Maybe, but I don't think so." Agent Coulson insisted on his idea, "Can you replay the Trojan War episode? I want to watch it again. Maybe I can make some new discoveries."

"Of course, Agent Coulson. My job now is to educate you, and you are qualified to ask questions."

"What were you doing in Troy, Enoch?"

"Observation, just observation." The alien android answered truthfully, "At that time, I did not realize the necessity of forming an armed group. I just thought that my job was to observe, so there was no need to interfere in human affairs. So. I only escaped from the temple when Kassandra asked me, but Kassandra finally found me and told me the future she saw, which was this mission."

"Yes, I have seen this...but I need you to replay the footage from the temple, especially the hooded man standing next to Cassandra." Agent Coulson nodded, "Can you Do you perform face recognition on those images? I'm not talking about the distance between the eyes, but the measurement of the pupils. Including the people who appeared at these points in time..."

"Of course, it won't take much time, but now is not the time." Enoch nodded, but shook his head, "Melinda May can no longer hold back, and she is very likely to launch an attack here. I need you to keep me safe, Agent Coulson, but also keep her safe, and I'm worried that the genetically modified warriors could harm her. If that's the case, the mission will have to be postponed, which means it's doomed to fail. .”

"I have one last question, Enoch." Agent Coulson hesitated. He didn't know how this agent uprising would end, but he knew his chances of getting answers were running out. "Why are you there? Why do you actively interfere in the process of human history?"

"Because I was contaminated, the other body captured by the genetically modified warriors was the same race that I called back to Earth to perform observation missions after discovering that I was contaminated."

"Contamination?" Agent Coulson asked. "Is it some kind of computer virus?"

"Kassandra, Cassandra the Seer, Cassandra the Marriage of Apollo. Her prophetic ability polluted my logical thinking engine. She gave me some ability that I can't understand, changing the logical engine. The speed and path of neutrons allow me to foresee some historical processes that cannot be foreseen by short-lived species." Enoch said expressionlessly, "I have conducted countless self-examinations, but I have never found any abnormalities. Even my own kind couldn't fix my obvious logical errors. Over the years, I have been verifying the abilities she has given me. Every time the fragments I foresee are accurate, she is guiding me to carry out certain activities. And these activities are all for one purpose?”

"What purpose?"

"Found you, Agent Coulson." Enoch's usually smooth answer hit a snag, and he stuttered out his answer like a shy boy. This situation is normal for humans, but Enoch is a mechanical android. If even the language function is affected, then other functions must take up a lot of computing power. It took Enoch a few seconds to return to normal, "In order for me to come to the lighthouse base to prepare everything needed for this mission, in order for me to provide guidance for your journey."

"Then who is instigating this? Cassandra? It can't really be Apollo!"

"No...I don't know, Agent Coulson, I am not omniscient and omnipotent, I am just an android."

The fire sprinklers finally stopped their meaningless behavior and fell silent with smoke.

A team headed by Tatyana walked through a passage full of water. The blood smudged and melted in the water. The stench caused by the bodily fluids released by humans before death made every ordinary person alive here unbearable. Zhu frowned. Dirty water splashed on her leg armor and crimson robe. Tatiana did not stop, but quickly walked through the damp area, shooting at the figure hiding in the corner.

The 1st Secret Regiment and the Rangers complied with instructions, using only non-lethal weapons in most situations, and only responding with lethal force when attacked with lethal force. This is a contract between the Guards and S.H.I.E.L.D. to protect the rights of captured agents so that they can work safely. However, the Sisters are not bound by this rule because they are not on Constantine and Co. Wilson's agreement list. They accepted no protest and fired even before the protesting agents surrendered or even raised a cry.

Many agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. come from European and American countries, from the democratic system and the country of plutocratic tyrants described by Plato in "The Republic". They attach great importance to personal freedom - they hold meaningless protests and other ritualistic behaviors. What they often do, and even in their cognition, is to express their attitude is far more important than solving the problem - many riot agents try to use the complex terrain of the lighthouse base to hide, or use the weapons they finally obtained to fight back, attacking the Praetorian Guards Promises that they would be safe if they laid down their arms fell on deaf ears.

It turns out that they don't remember this rule, especially when they find out that the Sisterhood actually shoots. Some of the internal agents drop their weapons, while the combat-capable field agents continue to resist. But those field agents were eventually picked out by the sisterhood. The suppression operation only took the Sisters 10 minutes, but not every agent who surrendered could be forgiven - the intelligent individual combat system in the power armor allowed the Sisters to not worry about getting lost at all, and they could even detect it in advance. Use information invisible to the naked eye, including those who were killed. The actions of the sisterhood seem to have some purpose that others cannot understand. Every riot agent found will first conduct facial recognition to confirm their identity before deciding whether to kill them.

Agent Coulson, who was staying in the room, watched the surveillance records in the main building of the lighthouse base. When he saw this phenomenon, he strongly suspected that the sisterhood was the helper brought by Constantine. All the actions of the girls wearing power armor after arriving at the lighthouse base revolved around providing a comfortable living environment and suitable services for their masters, as if the bolt guns and chain swords hanging on their waists were decorations. It wasn't until the moment of the riot that SHIELD agents knew that these girls were not the "beauty escorts" or "beauty bodyguards" in some news stunts. Those girls with Central Asian, Eastern European and Middle Eastern faces were outright violent machines.

"May, stop, don't do anything wrong again." Agent Coulson warned. Melinda May didn't respond, but Agent Coulson knew she could hear it. "They have extremely powerful bionic mechanical technology." He continued, "If you continue to behave like this, they are very likely to use disabling force against the agents on the task list. I believe their bionic mechanical technology is definitely not like ours In that case, I can only install a prosthetic hand that is completely unable to move."

Seeing no response, Agent Coulson contacted another person.

"I need to speak to Gemma Simmons," he told the 1st Secret Regiment officer. "This is important."

"Permission granted, Agent Coulson." Sergeant Ronald nodded, "But you must know that we will monitor every information exchange in this base."

"Isn't that true?" Agent Coulson muttered, and then he heard Gemma Simmons' voice.

"I'm fine, Coulson, they didn't hurt me." Even though Gemma Simmons said this, Agent Coulson still heard her sniffling. It was obvious that her emotions had just calmed down. Her previous excessive excitement caused her tear ducts to release large amounts of fluid involuntarily. "Mei has gone to find you. I'm worried that she was... and Fitz, he is still in the laboratory. He is worried that he was responsible for the accident in the chemistry laboratory, but I have no news about him yet. Now The whole base was in chaos and no one knew where he was."

"Don't worry, Gemma, we are all on the mission list. As long as we are on the list, they will not hurt us." Agent Coulson comforted Gemma Simmons by saying words that he did not believe, and proposed himself Question to ask, "Do you remember what May told you about her actions?"

"What?"

"Nothing." Agent Coulson hung up the communication in disappointment. Although Enoch claimed that Melinda May would burst into the secret room and snap its neck, Agent Coulson only viewed this as a bit of humor for the android, as Melinda May was unaware of the secret. The position of the room also made it impossible to break a robot's neck with bare hands, which would be as stupid as trying to suffocate the robot. One thing he completely ignored was that Enoch didn't have any sense of humor, and neither did Constantine.

"You should remain vigilant."

Agent Coulson was startled. "This is impossible. This explosion-proof door will make noise when it is opened and closed."

"I did once, and now I grease this door." Constantine replied calmly, "You are ignoring other factors too much, Agent Coulson, what are you worried about?"
