Chapter 211 Conversation with Tony
Puerto Rico, this is a place that holds a special place in American history.
Because it was territory seized by the United States through the war with Spain, its residents were granted U.S. citizenship in 1917 but did not have the right to vote in the presidency.
This special historical reason makes the US military not popular here.
But now, the U.S. military has surrounded the place and began to disperse the residents on the grounds that the alien relics located underground are extremely dangerous.
General Ross even arrived here himself.
Instead, he discovered that the ruins were surrounded by Chaldean war robots and special agent teams, while the army was kept out.
"Colson, what do you mean?" Ross looked very unhappy after seeing Coulson. "This is the territory of the United States. Who gave you the right to restrict the army?"
"General Ross, it's not up to me now." Coulson showed a helpless expression just right.
"Then who has the final say?" Ross sneered, "Even if Shen He is standing here, he has to get out of the way."
"I will pass on your words to the Master."
Suddenly, a slightly immature voice suddenly appeared next to her.
It was a little girl in a gothic princess costume, holding a fluffy quack doll in her arms.
"Now, the person in charge is here." Coulson smiled, "Let me introduce, this is Misaka Mikoto alter, I think the general should have seen it in the war."
"Principal?" Rose's face was a little uncertain, "You really know how to joke, she's just a teenager, right? My daughter is a round older than her, what can such an age decide? "
"Really?" Misaka Mikoto Alter raised her eyes, staring at Rose with cold eyes, "But your daughter definitely doesn't kill as many people as I do."
"." Rose shuddered directly.
As a general, he couldn't help but move his eyes away, not daring to meet the girl's gaze.
Only those who have been caught in boundless hatred will have that kind of look.
Are the followers of Chaldea a group of monsters like this?
"No need to talk nonsense."
A thin, white-haired boy came from not far away, but he was holding a huge stone pillar like a toy in his hand.
boom--!
The stone pillar was placed upside down directly in front of the army, and the stirred up lime showed its weight.
"Those who cross this realm will die."
Accelerator's plain eyes seemed to be talking about a very ordinary thing.
There even seemed to be a little bit of anticipation.
General Ross opened his mouth, but he still didn't say anything in the end. He could see that these two young "youths" were lunatics, and it was impossible to communicate.
But they still have terrifying strength. According to the military data, these two people are extremely dangerous. Ross has also seen with his own eyes how they easily slaughtered the Kirita army.
"What is Chaldea planning to do?" He could only look back at Coulson, "Is Shen He really planning to be an enemy of the whole world?"
"I don't know." Coulson shook his head, "However, the commander will certainly not be afraid of being an enemy of the whole world."
Coulson, who has been to Shenhe Castle, understands this better than Ross in front of him. In terms of strength, Shenhe can already fear the whole world.
The only difference is whether he wants to do it or not.
General Ross's face was livid, he took a deep look at Coulson, and turned to leave.
If Shen He didn't come, there would be no possibility of talking to two lunatics who could only obey orders.
Unless they can convince Coulson.
But that's not something he can do either.
When the news of Chaldea's blockade of the ruins spread, the World Security Council was a little surprised at first, and then felt a sense of panic. They didn't understand why Chaldea's attitude seemed to become unscrupulous all of a sudden.
Although in terms of strength, they have the ability to be unscrupulous, but from past observations, Shen He is not willing to start a war with the world, and also pays more attention to his "reputation" on the earth.
"That relic, this may be the cause of Shen He's change of attitude."
"Secondly, there must be something in that ruin that he must obtain."
"If Shen He is really desperate, Tony and Steve will stand by our side. This may be an opportunity."
"We must understand what is in the ruins."
"Who to go to"
The World Council quickly had a brief discussion.
They began to focus on the ruins.
According to the news from Chaldea, the Cree are now one of the most powerful empires in the universe, and they are likely to be even stronger than Asgard. Then there may be something powerful in the ruins they left behind. For example, weapons, technology, and it is these things that make Shen He not hesitate to take a tough attitude.
But this is all just speculation.
The World Security Council has a large number of strategists, and it is impossible to gamble on a guess.
So they need more information.
When the funds, connections, and influence of the World Security Council began to operate at full capacity, they could exert terrifying efficiency, and the result was that a person who could best get information from Shen Hekou found him.
—Tony Stark.
To be honest, when Shen He saw Tony coming to his office, he was slightly taken aback.
Because after the war, Tony has been frantically collecting the remains of alien weapons, studying alien technology, and then reforming his own weapons.
"You look... a bit haggard."
Shen He looked at Tony in front of him, and he even saw a lot of white hairs in Tony's hair, which seemed to have appeared in the past few days.
"When you only sleep three or four hours a day, you will do the same." Tony came to Shen He's office for the first time, looking around.
"No, I won't." Shen He put down the documents, stood up and took some tea from the cabinet, "My body is beyond the scope of human beings, and sleeping is just a habit, not a necessity."
".Okay." Tony sat directly on Shen He's seat and turned the chair, "I'm envious of your success, but I rarely envy others."
"I think it may be time for you to strengthen your body."
Shen He poured the freshly boiled water into the teacup, watched the ups and downs of the tea leaves, then handed it to Tony, and sat on the table like this.
"I can find many methods, scientific mutations, or magic. In fact, I think you are quite suitable for learning magic. Your genius brain may help you become a great mage."
"I find it difficult. I can't accept what I can't understand." Tony pointed to his head, "When I was young, this brain almost drove me crazy."
"The curse of knowledge?" Shen He raised his eyebrows.
It seems that in the original movie, Thanos also described it this way, and he classified Tony and himself into the same category.
"It's a good description." Tony tried to take a sip of tea, and then his facial features were all tangled together, "I'm still not used to this thing, it tastes like eating grass."
"Tea is as popular all over the world as coffee, and it's especially effective for people who lack sleep." Shen He shrugged, "Then, can you tell me what you're doing here?"
He didn't believe that Tony, who placed an order in this state, would come to him to catch up with him.
"...I've been having nightmares for the past few days." Tony looked down at the teacup, "I dreamed that Thanos came to Earth, we tried to stop him, but failed, we died a lot of people, and died on Earth A lot of people, and then you showed up, and you defeated Thanos and conquered Earth in his place."
"So, our power scares you?" Shen He remained expressionless.
"I don't know." Tony raised his head and stared at Shen He, "But you are stronger than Thanos, and you might do that too."
In fact, Tony himself didn't know what the dream meant, and he didn't even know whether the dream's ending was good or bad.
But he was stuck in it and couldn't calm down.
If the things in the dream really happened, for him, it was a result that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't change it.
"Do you remember when we first met?" Shen He looked at Tony and sighed in his heart, "The heart patient who was in a car accident."
"Of course." Tony felt that he had guessed what Shen He wanted to say, "I couldn't save him, but you saved his life, so you want to say, I can continue to give everything to you as before, right? ?”
"No." Shen He shook his head, "I want to say that even now, I will still persist until the last moment like that time. I don't think this has changed."
This was also one of the things Shen He thought about that night.
He has indeed changed a lot, he has become accustomed to death, and has become indifferent to life, but if he sees such a person in need of help on the street again, and he has such abilities, he will still intervene and work hard until the other person dies.
It's not because I can't bear it, it's simply because of the basic quality of life that has been formed over the past 20 years.
"."
Tony didn't say anything more, he was thinking about the meaning of Shen He's words.
But it can be seen that his mood seems to be a lot easier.
"So that's why you came here?" Shen He asked helplessly, "It took me a long time to figure out what I have changed and what I haven't changed. hurt the world."
"Everyone has to go through this process." Tony put his hand on Shen He's shoulder, and said old-fashionedly, "Son, you are still very young."
"Go." Shen He threw off his arm angrily, "If you have nothing to do, get out of the way quickly, but I still have a lot of things to do."
"Actually, I still want to ask what's going on with that ruin." Tony's expression became more formal, "Someone told me that there are very dangerous weapons in there, which are dangerous enough to destroy the world, and you want to control it , even at any cost.”
"If I want to destroy the world, I don't need any weapons at all." Shen He showed a playful smile, "It seems that you have been used as a gun, no matter what, let me tell you, there are only some mysterious aliens in it." It’s nothing mysterious, it’s just a residence built by the Cree for their experimental subjects.”
"That's it?" Tony's eyes widened.
"That's it." Shen He said with certainty.
"Then why did you announce it and then block it so that no one can approach it?" Tony didn't understand at all.
"Not for anything." Shen He shook his head with a flat expression, "I just figured it out, I don't want to play any conspiracy games with this world, and I've had enough of those indifferent temptations, I want to see if those people are really I have the courage to tear my face."
"."
Tony had to admit that Shen He had indeed changed.
The former Shen He was very afraid that he would suddenly become an enemy of the whole world.
"Then what if they really tear their face apart?" Tony couldn't help asking.
This has nothing to do with strength or not, it is purely a matter of values, because not everyone can enjoy the feeling of being feared and loathed by countless people, just as not everyone can get used to the arrogant and arrogant Long Aotian style.
"They won't." Shen He is very confident about this, "They are just a group of people driven by interests, Tony, we can no longer be entangled with such a group of people, they will bring down our structure."
Shen He used to be too entangled with such a group of people.
The so-called World Security Council, interest groups and so on.
With Chaldea's current strength, there is absolutely no need to pay too much attention to their actions.
"I always think... what you said makes sense." Tony nodded in agreement. "I used to think that some people are simply stupid. They want to grab something good when they see it, and don't think about whether they have the ability."
"That is to say." Shen He snapped his fingers crisply, "We have reached an agreement on this."
"That's right." Tony stood up from the seat and put his arms around Shen He's shoulders, "Let's discuss, He, can you take me with you when you go to Asgard? They brag about that place and treat us like country bumpkins, and I also want to see what the so-called God's Domain looks like."
"You should ask Thor about this." Shen He shrugged, "Who made him a prince."
"Then there's no problem." Tony was confident. "That stupid man, as long as he has a drink with him, he will treat you like a brother. I'm really worried about the future of Asgard after he becomes king."
"You should worry about whether you can live to that time first." Shen He waved his hand, opened the drawer and handed him a few pieces of paper, "It records some magic in this world, if you have time, study it, we made a fuss There was such a big movement, but the group of mages didn't respond, and they always felt that something was wrong."
After jumping his attention away from the group of "mortals", Shen He also began to pay attention to higher-level forces.
For example, Supreme Mage.
Like Ghost Rider.
And Dormammu, who will appear years later.
"Okay, I'll try."
Tony glanced at these pages, put them away, and turned to leave Shen He's office.
After having a good chat with Shen He, he roughly understood the reason for Shen He's change of style during this period of time, and the worries in his heart also weakened a lot.
Tony thought for a while and contacted Pepper directly.
"Honey, yes, I have already asked He, he blocked the ruins, just because there may be some dangerous things in there, he is worried that some idiots will cause trouble, don't worry, we have no plans to go to war with the US military, There is nothing at all, you can say that directly to the media."
No matter how intensive the security defense is, as long as people are still absorbing information from the outside world, they can be easily guided.
Ordinary people would not have the courage to become an enemy of the world and become a villain.
This time, those people grasped Pepper's concern for Tony and the worries of ordinary people, successfully conveyed some information to Tony's ears, and drove him to find the answers those people wanted to know.
