Chapter 1589 Peeking Into the Past Time Tributary
"I remember this day. At this time, I just got superpowers not long ago, and I still thought that I could use this power to improve my life. In order to make a fortune from black market boxing matches, I forgot what Uncle Ben told me. Mine, I want me to take care of Aunt Mei's work."
"That night, I met a mugger. I didn't stop him because I was cold and selfish, and he almost hurt Uncle Ben who came to see me. Yes, that's right. I remember very well, he almost hurt Got him. Luckily, my friend was there and he saved Ben. But this"
What happened in front of him plunged Peter into an indescribable confusion. He knew that everything in front of him was a false illusion, but it was difficult for him to regard it as a so-called illusion. Because it's all too real. If his friend hadn't appeared there that day, maybe the result of the matter would have turned into what he saw in front of him.
This is definitely not what he wants to see. In other words, he just didn't dare to think about such a possibility. But now that all this was happening before his eyes, his emotions were naturally a little out of control.
He wanted to denounce this as falsehood, to hide his inner trepidation. However, Gu Yi explained to him step by step before he did so.
"This is not false, Mr. Parker. As I said, the past was a great river with innumerable tributaries. What you see now is actually one of these innumerable tributaries. Each tributary is actually a possibility, and perhaps in this possibility In this world, your friend didn't show up. That's why you saw this scene in front of you."
"lie, liar"
Peter couldn't help yelling, he obviously couldn't accept such a statement. But for such an accusation, Gu Yi didn't have any intention of justifying it. She just stretched out her hand, motioning for Peter to continue watching the way things were going.
She has nothing to fear. Because illusions can never replace reality. And when Peter watched Ben holding the hand of another Peter, who was dying, and said the famous saying "with great power, comes great responsibility" to him who made a huge mistake, he was completely overwhelmed. I completely dispelled the luck in my heart, and had to face this reality directly.
This is indeed a reality, a real past. Realizing this, he couldn't help feeling a little rejoiced. Because compared with the other him who has been filled with self-blame and regret, the past he has experienced is really too happy.
No loss, no regrets, no thought of this, Peter was suddenly taken aback, and then immediately asked Gu Yi.
"You said you could let me see the past. How far can I see?"
"Mr Parker,
What do you want to do? "Hearing such a question, Gu Yi was taken aback for a moment, and then said to him immediately. "I need to warn you, what you want to see is only possible, not definite. The chances that that will be the answer you were hoping to find are very small, even negligible. So, if I were you, I wouldn't put my heart and soul into finding such things. "
"I know!" After Gu Yi interrupted Gu Yi's speech with a completely irrational shout, Peter's tone began to reveal an extremely complicated emotion. "I just want to take a look at my father and mother. I want to know why they left me and why they died. As a son, don't I even have the right to know the truth? "
"But the problem is, what you see may not be the real truth. Have you really thought about this problem?"
Although Peter's reasons are worthy of sympathy and pity, after all, Ancient One is not the kind of person who will break the principle because of sympathy casually. She still insisted on her point of view, and hoped to use this to convince Peter, so as to avoid unnecessary complications as much as possible.
But Peter, he is not so easily persuaded.
"Your Excellency. I have been fostered in my uncle's house since I was very young. The only memory I have of my parents is the day they abandoned me. Once upon a time, I thought it was because they didn't love me anymore, so I chose In order to abandon me. But until one day, when a part of the so-called truth was discovered, I realized that things were not what I imagined."
"They love me. It is because of their love for me and their desire to protect me. They will make such a choice. They let me survive, but I never Can't see them either. Do you understand what a terrible thing this is for a child?"
"I don't want anything else. I don't need the so-called truth. I just want to see them, to see how my parents are still alive. Even if they are just one of countless pasts, I also want to see them. .So, help me, Your Excellency. That is my only request."
"You're asking for trouble. But if it's what you really want, go ahead. But promise me, whatever you see, don't take it for real. It's just a It's possible!"
"I promise you." Looking at Gu holding the Eye of Agamotto with one hand, the magical green light spread under his feet. Peter couldn't help but clenched his fist, then strode forward in front of him.
Time is running backwards. He can clearly feel this change because he can see everything about himself clearly.
His high school life, his elementary school life, and the day he was sent to Uncle Ben's house. Time stopped on this day, and he also followed his father's footsteps at this point in time. He desperately wanted to know what happened that day. And this desire made him unconsciously fall into the maze of time.
Richard Parker. Peter Parker's father. In this time stream, his identity is an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. This point is not much different from what Peter knew. If anything, he went from being a field worker to a dedicated scientific researcher. And it is such a difference that makes the development of the story diverge.
Peter remembered that his parents died in a plane crash. They were on a plane heading to the Far East when they crashed in the Pacific Ocean due to an accident. Of course, the so-called accident Coulson had already explained to him, and nine out of ten it was the assassination of his father by the people of Hydra. Although they all crashed into the sea, their essences were completely different. This is also the decisive factor for him to join S.H.I.E.L.D. and even the Avengers.
However, in this time period, the situation does not seem to be like this.
Also boarded the plane, but Richard Parker and his wife Mary Parker did not die in the Pacific Ocean. Instead, following the landing of the plane safely, they came to a small island that was inaccessible.
They were no strangers to the island, for Peter saw his father hugging one of the fellows who greeted him. And when he got closer to watch, he immediately recognized the guy who was hugging his father.
Phil Colson. The guy who brought him part of the truth. During this time, he obviously had a very close relationship with his father, even said to have a very close relationship. So, is it only during this time period, or did he lie to himself in the first place?
With curiosity, Peter continued to watch. And soon, he heard Coulson's passionate voice.
"Richard, you came too timely. You know, without your and Mary's decay rate algorithm, I'm afraid we really don't know where to start this research?"
"It's my job. There's nothing to praise. It's just that, Coulson, I don't understand. Why do we have to cooperate with the military?"
Peter's father frowned and looked serious when he said this. Obviously, he doesn't have much affection for the existence of the military. Of course, because of his words, the scene became somewhat cold. After all, apart from Coulson, there were also people from the military present.
Fortunately, Peter's mother is a sociable person, and she intervened in time at this moment, dismantling this embarrassing situation.
"What Richard means is that we have never worked with anyone in the military. And we don't know him well enough. Is it a bit inappropriate to cooperate so rashly. Maybe you should also give Let's arrange an opportunity to communicate first. Is that what you mean, Richard?"
Under his wife's gaze, Richard reluctantly nodded. After seeing him nodding his head, the soldier in the major's uniform behind Coulson forced a smile.
"Please rest assured. Mr. Parker, Mrs. Parker. I can assure you in the name of the military that the scientists who are cooperating with the two are definitely the best talents in the military. He is an expert in nuclear physics and is young. He is already an outstanding top scientific research talent. If it is not because of the emphasis on this project, we may not have mobilized such an important role."
"That's really an honor." Just as Richard opened his mouth, his wife tugged at his sleeve secretly. This made him roll his eyes, but he changed his tone in time and said this to the military representative. "Can we meet in advance? You have to know, as one of the principals of the project, I really want to know what our partner looks like. If you have enough confidence in him."
"Of course, please come with us. Dr. Banner has arrived. He is already looking forward to the two who have developed the decay rate algorithm."
