Chapter 518 Walking in the Dark
"Let's be honest, Thor. I want you to do me a favor. Show up when the dark elves invade, or show up earlier, like when we're dealing with Mandarin, I just want you to play." Li Jie said to Thor bluntly.
"Only in this way can we make enough groundwork for our future plans, and for you, you will gain the faith of the earth."
What Li Jie said made Thor feel a little unresponsive. He said: "How do you want me to show up? You call me a salted fish every day."
Li Jie smiled: "But it's different now, I can feel it, and I think you can feel it too. Thor is coming back soon."
There was a smile on the corner of Thor's mouth: "Yeah, the first thing after recovering divine power is to beat you up."
Li Jie shrugged: "Whatever, as long as I'm alive, I'll be sent to the medical center of the Osborne Group."
Thor waved his hand: "But the release of the seal does not take place in a day or two. I probably won't be able to release the seal in the time you expected. I am just a mortal without divine power. I can't help you defeat the Mandarin. Lead the charge in the Dark Elves' war."
Li Jie shook his head: "You misunderstood Thor, I don't need you to go to the battlefield."
"What?" There is no need for a Valkyrie to go to the battlefield, so what does he want to do by himself?
Li Jie quickly gave Thor an answer: "I just need you to be a diplomat, or a liaison between Asgard and Earth."
It is impossible for Thor to agree to Li Jie's proposal: "No, it's impossible. Let me fight the war, but don't ask me for foreign affairs. This is Luo Ji's job, and I can't do it."
"It's not the kind of diplomat you understand. You don't really need to deal with any diplomatic affairs. All you need to do is unilaterally issue some announcements to the human government. As for the reply letter from the human government, you can ignore it." , if you don’t want to listen to it, just treat those politicians’ words as fart, anyway, many things they usually say are like fart.” Li Jie didn’t save face for the earth government politicians at all.
"So, what exactly do you want to do?" Thor couldn't understand what Li Jie wanted to do nearby.
Let him be a diplomat between Asgard and the earth, but he doesn't need to ignore the earth government, just make some announcements unilaterally.
"Acting. As I said at the beginning, this is a play. Just like the play I arranged for Tony to do now, his audience is the Mandarins of Central Asia." Li Jie spoke directly to Thor.
"It's just that your audience is seven billion people around the world! You need to make all human beings realize that human beings are not alone in this universe. How stupid it is to post your own information address in the universe."
"Let all governments understand the simplest thing, how stupid they are to kill each other. Just like the war in Eastern Europe, and Latvia finally broke out because of a world war for new energy sources, and finally wiped out human beings. Sending civilization to its grave is the stupidest thing possible."
"That's why I want to confirm whether you are attached to the earth. Are you willing to see the people and things you care about destroyed by a group of ambitious people." Li Jie patted Thor on the shoulder.
"Of course not." Thor frowned and said: "Although human beings have many shortcomings and all kinds of bad people, but at the same time, I don't deny that there are as many good people in human beings. Just like Christine, who shines with the brilliance of humanity." People, ordinary people who are changing the world in their own way, like beavers build a dam out of tiny branches."
"Then I think we have something in common, Thor." Li Jie stretched out a hand in front of Thor and said, "Here I formally invite you to join our organization, the Illuminati!"
……………
Inviting Thor to join the Illuminati was Li Jie's temporary idea. Originally, he just wanted Thor to become the patron saint of the earth, but now from the conflict between Thor and Strange, Li Jie saw another side of Thor. .
It's not the aloof and majestic side of God, but the side that truly shines with the brilliance of humanity. So he invited Thor to join the Illuminati.
Although compared to the average IQ of the Illuminati, Thor is a bit substandard. But Thor is the eldest prince of Asgard after all, and many future plans will need his help, so it is not impossible to grant him a small privilege.
When Li Jie took Thor to see Tony, Li Jie didn't put on his Nightcrawler outfit. Instead, he went to find Tony openly.
And Tony wasn't surprised at all when he saw Li Jie's real identity, he simply waved and said, "Because it's too hot in summer, so you don't wear a hood?"
"Yes, because New York is already thirty-eight degrees, it is more comfortable to wear a short-sleeved T-shirt this day." Li Jie was not surprised that Tony guessed his real identity.
Since Gwen can guess who he is through the little spider, if Tony is determined to investigate who he is, it is only a matter of time before he is exposed.
"Tea or coffee?" Tony simply asked Li Jie, and he didn't even ask who Thor was.
"Tea." Li Jie replied simply.
"I have to say that your disguise is okay, but it's not enough. Especially when you hang out with us every day, it's not difficult for us to guess who you are from the people around you." Tony shared two cups of tea Handed it to Li Jie and Thor.
"But you don't have to worry, everyone in the Illuminati is very tight-lipped. And I asked Jarvis to clear and interrogate all matters related to you on the Internet. Any clues that might point the finger at you have been cut off."
Tony has actually done a lot in the dark. There are some things that the parties don't tell the truth, and everyone is not in the mood to expose it. What everyone needs to do is to help their friends to finish, not to show flaws.
"But what made you decide to see me with your true colors?" Tony was still a little curious about this matter.
Li Jie pointed to Thor: "Because of him, I decided to absorb him into the Illuminati. He lives in my house, and even if I show my true face in the future, you will know. That would be too strange, as if everyone pretended not to know each other. Same."
Tony waved his hand: "You think it's not strange now? Well, this is the great prince of Asgard you mentioned? God of Thunder - Thor?"
Tony looked at Thor with a scrutinizing gaze, and said a little suspiciously: "Are you sure he doesn't need to lose weight?"
Li Jie spread his hands and said, "It's over in a short time, let Dr. Hank's apparition device help."
…………
Thor feels that his life has been a bit ups and downs in recent days. He saw the dawn of restoring his divine power, and Christine suddenly became very enthusiastic about him.
Moreover, Li Jie, who has been calculating himself, also began to become friendly, and even absorbed him into an important human organization.
Although he hasn't fully figured out what the role of this organization is, he still feels the power of the Illuminati. The interstellar warships parked in the Venus base are proof.
And here, he was assigned a total of six warships that belonged to him. Well, at least it is his battleship in name, but the actual commander is still Li Jie.
And of course Dr. Hank's Apparatus, mounted on his belt, uses Apparatus technology and energy shields to create a virtual effect for him.
The constructed image is his original Thor posture. To be honest, if a fat person loses 25 to 30 kilograms, then from a visual point of view, they are completely two people.
I still remember that Li Jie just came back from Dongyang and saw Thor who was so fat that he couldn't recognize him at all. This is the case when Li Jie and Thor are very familiar.
This is a more realistic method of hiding one's identity than the artifact of a reporter from Planet Daily who likes to wear red underwear, the black-rimmed glasses that can lower the global human IQ by more than 70%.
Now Thor's divine power has not recovered, in order not to reveal his secrets. Tony also built a nano-metal Thor armor for Thor. Usually hidden in his belt away.
"When you use it, you only need to shout: The God of Thunder transforms! That's it. The belt will automatically activate the illusion function and the nano armor. With the illusion device as a cover, others will not know that you are wearing armor And I won't see your real fat look."
Tony explained to Thor how to use the transformation belt. But Thor was still a little puzzled: "Why did I shout the slogan of transformation? This is a bit like something that can be done in cartoons."
Tony waved his hand: "This is feelings!"
………………
On the other side of the Venus base, Dr. Hank and the professor are debugging several Viking fighters that have undergone phantom changes. This is the fighter plane disguised as Thor's car.
Li Jie is also here (the identity has been disclosed.), he and the professor are talking about Katie and their new mutant country in Tuvalu.
"The dark elf invasion will be an opportunity. It will be an opportunity for ordinary people to realize that mutants are not different from ordinary people. For alien creatures that look completely different from humans, I think many people will understand their previous experience." How ridiculous the discrimination is. Those killing races in the universe will not kill you because you are a mutant, nor will they not kill you because you are an ordinary person. Everyone is the same in front of them."
Li Jie helped Dr. Hanke pass the tools while saying: "So, professor, maybe you should go to Tuvalu again. Katie and the others may need to make some preparations."
The professor didn't answer, he just looked at Li Jie's young face and said: "Whenever your plan moves forward, I feel more and more disturbed. You really understand what you are doing. Jason?"
"What are you referring to?" Li Jie glanced at the professor.
"If your plan succeeds, you will not get any benefits. But if it fails, you may be nailed to the pillar of shame and cast aside for thousands of years." The professor said very cryptically, but Li Jie knew what he meant What.
About the dark elves, about the age of the universe, and about the reform of the earth's government that he tried to implement. It seems that many of them are fantasies, but when the eldest prince of Asgard, Thor, also got involved, the professor understood that Li Jie's plan could no longer be turned back.
But this plan does not serve current vested interests. It is even said that it is very likely to overthrow the rule of traditional regimes and traditional political families. It started with Li Jie convincing Tony to promote the Horizon Fund and start the exploration of cosmic sociology.
The system of the old era has actually begun the countdown to elimination. This is what all vested interests do not want to see.
If he succeeds, Li Jie will not be the biggest profit winner, but if he fails, if he is found out, then he will definitely be hated by a group of vested interests. Even to blacken his reputation.
Li Jie knew what the professor was talking about, and he shook his head: "Professor, you have to understand. I expect the world to change, not for the sake of gaining many benefits. It's because I don't like this world. When I have no ability, I can only Go with it, why don't I try to change it now that I have the ability?"
"The earth is round, and anything can happen. The choice I make is just one of them. Just like you, don't you stand by my side and support me?"
The professor shook his head: "It's different, Jason. Hank and I are both old, and it's okay for us to do something at the end of our lives. We've lived long enough. And you're young, and Same with Katie. You're the age you should be smiling at movies and coffee shops, walking in parks and soaking up the sun."
"I like the life you said, Professor, but this kind of life will not fall from the sky. Since we know about the Brotherhood of the Holy Shield and know that the alien invasion will happen eventually, then I can't hold 'what if it won't What happened?" Li Jie looked at the professor and Hank and said.
"Put fate in the hands of other people and expect superheroes to save me? I'm not that kind of person! Compared with other people, I believe in the future created by my hands." Li Jie clenched his fists.
"Everything has a price. For many people in this world, even air, water, and even sunshine can only be enjoyed after paying a price."
"Some people live a happy life bathed in the sun, just because there is another group of people watching every dawn in the dark night." Li Jie pointed to himself: "Do you still remember the oath I made in the first issue of the Night Watchman? I would like to be Break the sword of darkness."
"But it's not honorable, it's not prominent," the professor said.
"Leave the glory and glory to Iron Man and Spider-Man. Remember my nickname? My name is Nightcrawler. I'm the man behind the scenes. I don't care what things are. There are two sides to a coin. If someone has face, someone else will." Riko. Not all heroes will be glamorous, my character determines the way I do things. I don’t mind walking in the dark, I just hope that what I want can be realized in the end.”
When Li Jie said this, Tony, Captain Rogers and Thor had just walked into this hangar, and they all heard what Li Jie said.
"All I want is a new world! My ideals have never changed."
Captain Rogers strode in: "What ideal?"
"To open the most famous restaurant in the world, I hope that when my restaurant opens, we can eat alien vegetables." Li Jie smiled.
"But it's too early to say that. The first thing we need to do now is to eradicate the Ten Rings Gang and the Mandarin. Captain, we have made all the preparations. Is there any information from the Divine Spear Bureau?"
Rogers' captain smiled: "Good news, I heard that the Mandarin was mad by Tony."
