The beginning of Meiman is a Zanpakuto

The irregular stairs extending downward seem to have no end.

They are like lonely and lonely explorers in the unknown and darkness, constantly advancing, advancing, and advancing toward the abyss.

Even though the Druid had long been accustomed to loneliness and loneliness, the eternal bronze walls and stairs around him, coupled with the increasingly dark environment with thin light, made him feel a little irritated and annoyed in his heart.

"Not here yet?!"

There was a hint of anger in Druid's tone, and even he himself was not aware of it.

"There is still some distance, Lord Druid."

Nick Fury did not stop or look back, he continued to move forward steadily, his voice seemed unusually calm.

"How far is it?" The druid suppressed the nameless anger deep in his heart and asked in a cold voice: "We have been walking for a full hour and a half, how deep is this ruin?

!”

"It's very deep, at least we've never reached the deepest point."

Nick Fury paused for a moment, then pointed to a staircase directly below and said: "Sir Druid, the entrance to the Spirit Laboratory is behind the passage corresponding to that staircase."

The Druid's vision was slightly focused, and a pale golden halo circulated, allowing him to have day-like vision in a dark environment.

Looking in the direction of Fury's finger, one could see that it was in a rather remote location, surrounded by many steps for cover, and it happened to be in the blind spot of the field of vision. Without someone's guidance, it would have been difficult to find its location.

"Tell me now, where is the right way?"

The druid remained calm and silently used telepathy to communicate with Alexander.

"Don't worry, hehehe." Alexander laughed a few times and said: "Follow Fury down first, pay attention to my prompts, and I will tell you when he steps on the stairs.

Correct orientation."

"...What do you mean?" Druid looked ugly.

"Don't get me wrong, it's just to be safe." Alexander replied slowly: "Facing a strong man from the Eternals, I have to be careful. After all, I am an old man and I can't stand your troubles."

"Are you threatening me?" The druid was furious, almost unable to control his raging spiritual energy.

After all, no one would feel comfortable if they were suddenly tricked by someone at a critical moment. What’s more, he is still from the Eternals. He has always been bossy and arrogant. If it wasn’t for the Eternals’ grand plan, how could he have listened?

A human conductor.

"No, no, no... I said it, it's just an insurance policy." Alexander was also afraid of making him anxious, so he quickly explained: "If I tell you in advance, there is no guarantee that Fury will not discover the problem.

"

"Him?" The druid became more and more irritable, with a ferocious look on his face: "It's just a human being, what will happen even if he is discovered?"

"Hehehehe, you underestimate Nick Fury too much." Alexander laughed lowly and said: "He is the king of agents. No one can guess what Fury is thinking because he can always think more than others.

One step, the keeper of the secrets of those who take one step more than God.”

The druid's face twitched twice, but he did not refute this sentence.

In fact, by now, he has understood Fury's ability to implant backup memories into his subconscious. This kind of ruthlessness and courage is not something ordinary people can do.

"Don't forget, he is the keeper of secrets."

Alexander reminded: "You don't really think that Fury can't control Ruin Zero, do you?"

"... Of course, I'm not that stupid." Druid lowered his face and said, "If Fury really wanted to say what you said and had prepared everything in advance, then he would never have only this."

One move, I guess...he should have a backup plan, right?"

"Yes, it's exactly what I thought." Alexander agreed very much: "Nick Fury is very thoughtful and never trusts anyone, even me!"

"Master Druid, please come with me." Fury suddenly called him.

The druid raised his head and happened to catch Fury's eyes, which were as stiff and empty as ever, but he did not dare to underestimate the king of agents anymore. He took a deep breath and nodded: "Okay, I'll be right over."

"From here on, you have to be careful."

Alexander became nervous and reminded: "When people are closest to hope, their biggest flaws will be exposed. Fury will definitely target this point and change the correct direction when we are closest to the spirit sub-laboratory."

If Fury takes him in the wrong direction from the beginning, the probability of failure is very high.

So Fury is very patient, he has been waiting for the opportunity.

Any living thing that is in a dark environment for a long time will inevitably produce negative emotions such as negativity, irritability, and anger, and these emotions will interfere with correct judgment. When the negative emotions accumulate to a certain level, the 'dawn of hope' will appear in front of you.

After a long night, the moment before dawn finally comes, any living thing will put down its guard.

But few people know that the moment before dawn is the most dangerous moment in the entire night.

After Alexander's reminder, Druid forced himself to calm down, put on 120,000 vigilance, and nervously followed Fury's movements.

In front of the upside-down bronze stairs is a 'T'-shaped bifurcation.

"Just ahead, that's the Spirit Laboratory, Lord Druid." Fury stood at the end of the stairs, raised his hand and pointed directly ahead, and said calmly: "As long as we pass this road, we can reach our destination.

Already."

"He's lying to you!"

Alexander shouted urgently: "The right direction is on the left, the road on the left!"

The druid's eyes narrowed into a line, and he used his spiritual energy to burst out a sense of oppression, vibrating the surrounding space to form an echo: "Nick Fury, let me ask again, is that the real spirit laboratory there?"

Nick Fury groaned, his orifices began to bleed again, and he said stupidly: "Yes...this is the spirit laboratory."

"What a pity, Nick Fury." Druid stepped forward, raised his hand to strangle Fury's neck, and sneered: "I have seen through your plan, the correct one should be on the left, right?"

"No...that's not right..."

Fury's eyes fluctuated violently, and he struggled: "The right way... is in the middle."

"Really?" The Druid's eyes glowed with golden light, and he sneered: "Stupid human beings, are you still planning to lie to me? Even if you can use your subconscious to disguise your true thoughts, you cannot avoid the lies of your subconscious.

Fluctuation, the right way...is right in the middle!"

After the words fell, Druid stepped forward and dragged Fury to the stairs on the left.

"Hahahahaha..."

The druid dropped Fury and sneered wantonly: "After all this effort, haven't I finally figured it out? Humans are human beings. Even if it takes ten thousand years, there will be no difference between you and monkeys in my eyes.

Do you really think you can deceive me?"

Nick Fury hit his head on the ground and fainted.

After the druid sneered, he looked back at his own shadow: "Alexander, our plan was successful, why don't you come out?"

"Yes, but I have to correct you a little."

On the stairs they came from, an old figure gradually approached, with a hint of ridicule on his face: "It was 'my' plan that succeeded, not 'your' plan."

When Druid saw Alexander who was still on the opposite side, an ominous premonition suddenly appeared in his heart: "Why...why didn't you come over?"

"Why? Isn't it obvious?"

Alexander sneered: "Of course it's because...that road is wrong. Didn't Fury tell you the right road? It's the middle road, idiot."

"Wha...what?!" Druid's eyes widened and he said in shock: "But didn't you say... that Fury was lying?"

"Remember what I said?"

Alexander adjusted his sleeves and sneered: "You underestimate human beings too much. When it comes to deception, the Eternals are as immature as children. They can trust others with just a few words. I haven't encountered anyone like you in a long time."

A 'simple' person."

"So...everything you said is lying to me?" Druid gritted his teeth and glared at Alexander.

"Of course not. Ninety-nine percent of the news I told you is true." Alexander smiled: "It's just that I lied to you. Fury did implant backup memories, and he did try to mislead the control

His people.”

"It's just that...he wrapped a layer of lies around the truth."

"Then the lie is wrapped with a layer of truth, forming a logical paradox of true, false and true."

"Actually, even without my reminder, you would have discovered the 'flaws' displayed by Fury."

"When you thought it was a lie, you didn't know that you had been deceived. You only saw through the first layer of truth, but fell into the second lie. This is the logical conspiracy Fury prepared for the intruder.

This is where his brilliance lies.”

"But alas... I know Fury too well."

"That's why I can easily judge that he was telling the truth at the last moment."

Alexander laughed proudly.

"But...why? Didn't we cooperate? What good would it do to you to hurt me?" Druid couldn't understand. They obviously had the same goal, so why did Alexander lie to him?

"No benefit."

Alexander said calmly: "But it's a pity that humans are suspicious. How can I rest assured and let a powerful Eternal race go to the Spirit Son Laboratory with me? The only reason why I want to lie to you... is you

It’s so powerful.”
