Chapter 213 Dimension Lord
Natasha formally introduced the existence of . to Bruce.
Of course, from the perspective she knew.
"SHIELD, the full name of which is the Strategic National Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency, is a special force of the International Security Council that is used to deal with various bizarre incidents."
Natasha said, "We maintain the surface peace of the world, and each agent is directly under the current director, whom we generally call Officer No. 33.
"As for his specific name, you will know it if you have the chance in the future."
The word Natasha used here is 'concrete', not real.
Because according to regulations, the identity of the director of SHIELD is top secret.
But in fact, this top-secret information had long been blurted out by Katum as worthless intelligence.
Officer No. 33 is Nick Fury.
"SHIELD is one of the most mysterious organizations in the world, shouldering the most important mission."
Natasha had a proud smile on her face, "Now, Bruce, you're one of us!"
For some reason, Bruce's focus at this moment was not on Natasha's introduction to .
Instead, I thought of something irrelevant.
The last time Bruce heard a sentence like "something is the best place in the world" was when Hagrid said "Hogwarts is the safest place in the world."
He has personally experienced the result three times.
Now Natasha tells him that SHIELD is one of the most mysterious organizations in the world.
Once this flag came out, Bruce thought that it might not be long before SHIELD would be known to everyone.
Moreover, there is something wrong with SHIELD from the root. The more important its mission is, the more serious the consequences will be.
"Logically, I should stand on the side of SHIELD and help them defeat Hydra."
Bruce thought, "It's a pity that I'm still not sure whether . represents justice and light."
Thinking of this, he remained calm and continued to play the role of a sophomore boy who had just learned the other side of the world.
Secondary school, passionate, yet with a hint of childish caution.
"Ms. Natalie."
Bruce chose his words carefully. "From what you said, SHIELD should be an extremely secretive agency, right?"
"You can certainly think so," Natasha said with a smile.
"Then I have a question."
Bruce thought for a moment and said, "For an organization like this, when you select new people, shouldn't you do some tests to see my ability or character?
"You told me directly that I could join in. This really makes me worried about you."
Hearing this, Natasha was still smiling on the surface, but she couldn't help cursing in her heart.
You little bastard, are you pretending to be stupid in front of me?
"The question I gave you just now was a test," Natasha said calmly, "You have solved the code, which has proved your ability."
At least in terms of logical reasoning, Bruce has more than proven himself.
He already has the potential to be a special agent.
"Ah? So simple..."
After Bruce finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong and immediately changed his words, "I see, now I can understand SHIELD's good intentions!"
What do you care?
Natasha herself didn't know what SHIELD's good intentions were, and of course she didn't know what Bruce was thinking.
But she didn't expose it, but continued talking.
"As long as you know."
She said, “Next, an instructor will train you and let you master various agent skills, and all of this will be done in secret.
"And on the surface, you are still a student of Central City Middle School."
"Wait a moment!"
Bruce interrupted with a frown, "Is this really okay? You don't need to do any background check or character test on me?"
"unnecessary."
Natasha smiled and said, "Someone has already done this for us. You can ask your adoptive parents for the details."
She winked at Bruce, as if she had just revealed some incredible information.
"The Halls are also SHIELD agents?" Bruce muttered a few words in agreement, "It seems that they adopted me for ulterior motives."
"Don't blame them." Natasha said for the Halls, "They are also following the orders of their superiors."
"I know."
Bruce was very disappointed. He said dejectedly, "But I just feel that I finally got a family, but I lost it so soon."
"poor child."
Natasha looked at Bruce with pity, "Do you want a hug?"
"This……"
Bruce glanced at Natasha's chest and sighed, "Forget it, just hug me. I'll suffer a little."
So Natasha held him in her arms and patted his back gently.
"Be strong kid, SHIELD will be your home from now on."
……
When Bruce walked out of the campus, Mr. Hall had already parked his car and was waiting outside the campus.
The two looked at each other and without saying much, they had already completed the exchange of information.
all the best.
When Bruce got in the car, Wanda and Pietro were already sitting in the back seat, looking very excited.
"I surpassed that agent by a full lap!"
Pietro said, "The agents of SHIELD are not that good. They can't even outrun a kid like me!"
Both he and Wanda underwent corresponding tests.
Unlike Bruce, Pietro was tested on physical fitness. He raced with an agent on a track, and Pietro came out far ahead.
"They said that with my talent, if I took the athlete's route, I could easily break the world record!"
In response to Pietro's chatter, Bruce smiled and said, "That's great, congratulations."
He thought to himself that Pietro still hadn't seen much of the world.
Once he activates his superpowers and has speeds faster than the speed of sound, he will probably not care about world records anymore.
That's something only a locomotive would care about.
Later, Bruce also learned what test Wanda was taking.
Even more mysterious than Bruce and Pietro's.
“They put a box in front of me.”
Wanda said, "Ask me to tell you what's in there."
"It seems you are right." Bruce said.
"I actually didn't see anything." Wanda stared straight ahead, her mind wandering.
"I just said something casually, and then I guessed it right. Maybe compared to your logic and physical ability, the reason why I was chosen was luck."
Super high school level luck, Wanda Maximoff.
Bruce thought in his heart that it might not be luck, but Wanda's inspiration about magic.
The most common form of inspiration is an occasional whim.
This is all within an acceptable range.
"It's impossible to change reality."
Bruce thought, "Wanda's ability is too incredible. She hasn't even activated her superpowers yet."
Now Wanda is just Wanda, not Scarlet Witch. At this time, Mr. Hall, who was driving, finally spoke up and reminded: "Okay, don't discuss . matters outside. You are a team from now on, so remember your mission."
"of course I remember!"
Pietro said, "Maintaining the superficial peace of the world!"
Then Bruce added: "And to repay the favor of Hydra."
"Just remember it."
Mr. Hall was pleased with the children's answers.
He said nothing more, just kept driving back to his apartment in Queens, a place that could no longer be called home.
As the children were selected by ., their previous peaceful life is gone forever.
……
Kama Taj.
Katoom flew out of the room and saw the young mage hanging upside down on the training ground again.
This upside-down posture reminded the owl of some unpleasant past events.
"How long will it be before he can be put down?"
Katum asked the wizard who was on guard nearby.
No one knew what was wrong with these apprentices of Kamar-Taj, but overnight they all learned the magic of communicating with animals.
Now almost everyone could communicate with Katoom, and for a moment, the owl actually felt a little shy.
I haven't talked to so many people in a long time.
"Master Ancient One said he would hang him for a month."
The guarding wizard said, "This kid is asking for trouble. He broke into Master Ancient One's training room and tried to doodle on her head while she was in meditation!"
"That's really asking for death."
Owl nodded and kindly reminded, "Just hang him upside down, and don't let him drink too much water, otherwise he will feel uncomfortable when he has to pee.
"I think Master Ancient One just wants him to reflect on himself and doesn't want him to learn a deeper lesson like this."
This reminder made the guarding wizard's eyes light up.
After previous discussions among the apprentices, they had firmly believed that every word of Master Owl had a profound meaning.
Now that the master has said this again, I must of course think about it carefully.
"I understand, Master Owl!"
"Just understand."
Katum said this and stopped paying attention to the young wizard who was hanging upside down.
I don’t know how Gu Yi teaches his students, but he can actually cultivate such a brave person.
The owl flew towards the library, but suddenly, a burly figure blocked his way.
He was an Asian man, with a burly build and a face full of flesh, and he looked very tough.
It was a pity that his head was abruptly shaved bald, and some incomprehensible patterns were painted on it with red paint, like a map.
This man is Kamar-Taj's librarian, Benedict Wong.
"Good afternoon, King," Katum greeted warmly.
It's really hard to imagine from this appearance that the graffiti on the man's head was drawn by this damn owl.
"Owl...Master."
The corners of Wang's mouth twitched a few times, and he shouted this sentence reluctantly.
In fact, Katum didn't know why all of a sudden, all the students started calling him Master.
There were even some incomprehensible behaviors.
For example, knocking on Katum's door at three o'clock in the morning, wanting to learn druidism from him.
Later, this man was beaten up by Katum and thrown out of Kamar-Taj.
Katoom was too lazy to understand what these students were doing. He just wanted to do what he was supposed to do, such as emptying Kamar-Taj's collection of books.
Maybe it's because I've been acting too recklessly recently, and now the librarian finally came to my door.
"I just counted the books in the library."
Wang said in a cold tone, "A lot of books are missing. There is no record of them being borrowed. They simply disappeared."
"Huh? Is there such a thing?"
The owl was surprised and said, "It's obvious that Kamar-Taj has been robbed! Have you told Master Ancient One? Do you want me to help you find it?"
"There's no need to bother Master Ancient One with such a small matter."
Wang said coldly, "And I seem to have found out who the thief is."
"That's good!"
Katum sighed, "You must not let the thief go. Although only a few books are missing now, if time goes on, the entire library may be emptied!"
Then, he thought for the king and said, "Could it be the traitor you mentioned before, whose name is... Casillas?"
"It has nothing to do with him."
Wang said, "He is only interested in the Book of Cagliostro, and he has already got it."
The Book of Cagliostro, a magical book on the study of time.
The dimensional demon associated with this is called Dormammu.
"Then I can't guess who it is. I am a kind-hearted owl and I don't want to assume malice from others."
Katum said, "King, I am going to enter the library now, can you please move aside for a moment?
"To be honest, you really should lose some weight. You're blocking the door just by standing at the door."
The king's gaze stayed on the owl for a long time. Finally, he moved sideways to make enough space for the owl to pass through.
"Thank you."
Katum flapped his wings and flew over the king's chest.
At this moment, the king suddenly spoke -
"I just wanted to give you a reminder."
He said, "It's okay to borrow these books for a short period of time, and you can just return them later, but the acquisition of knowledge should be gradual. The books that have disappeared now have already involved uncontrollable areas."
Katum suddenly stopped.
"How do you say this?"
"Those books contain some forbidden rituals."
The king had something to say, and warned Katum, “Kamar-Taj does not prohibit the learning of knowledge, but it prohibits some behaviors.
"Those rituals involve the demons of the multiverse. No one except the Supreme Being can afford the cost of summoning them!"
After saying this, he seemed to be worried that Katum would not take it seriously, and immediately began to call out the names of those demons as if he was calling out the names of dishes.
"The demons involved in those rituals, such as Mephisto, the Lord of Hell, Incubus, the Lord of Dreams, Shumagras, the Beholder of Chaos, and Cytorak, the Lord of Crimson...
“If any of these were to fall upon Earth, it would cause an irreversible disaster.
"I hope that whoever stole the books knew what they were doing when they tried the rituals in the books, and that it would not end in tragedy and no end."
The king could be said to be speaking with great sincerity. Based on his observations during this period, Katum's personality was really the type who loved to watch the fun and not mind making trouble.
It is not impossible for such a guy to summon the dimensional lord to come to Earth.
"thanks for your reminder."
Katum smiled and said, "I think that person must have his own considerations."
If the summoning ceremony really begins, the Earth will definitely not be the one to suffer.
But those dimensional demons who were taken advantage of.
