【"Loki, did he run away?"】
267: Rogers: I'll let you take the lead first, King
[Hawkeye Shirou asked in a deep voice, if Loki was still there, then even with this body that hadn't recovered yet, he would go to meet Loki, the bastard who controlled him.]
"He ran away."
[Hawkeye Emiya Shirou didn't find it strange to hear the answer from Black Widow Vermouth. After all]
[“Do you know where Loki went?”]
[Vermouth asked, after all, Hawkeye Shirou Emiya had been controlled by Loki, so he might know something.]
[“Alas, it’s not my turn to intervene, so I didn’t ask.”]
[Emiya Shirou replied that when he was controlled, perhaps Loki had predicted it in advance and therefore did not tell him where he would run to.]
[“But I know that Loki will take action again soon, today.”]
[Hawkeye Shirou Emiya slowly sat up, then picked up the water that Vermouth had just poured and drank it.]
[“We have to organize Loki.”]
【“Really? Who? Us?”】
[Hawkeye Emiya Shirou listened to what Black Widow Vermouth said and was a little curious. What did she mean by "we"? Even when he was controlled, Emiya Shirou had not seen other Avengers. Or maybe Hawkeye Emiya Shirou didn't know about the Avengers yet.]
[“I don’t know, maybe the ones who survived.”]
[Black Widow Vermouth also kept it a secret and did not directly tell Hawkeye Emiya Shirou about the Avengers. 】
[“Well, if I could shoot an arrow through Loki’s eye socket, maybe I could get some good sleep.”]
[“That’s more like you.”]
[“But you don’t seem like yourself. You are a spy, not a soldier. How could you think of charging into battle? What did Loki do to you, or did he say something to you?”]
[Eagle Eye Shirou Emiya's insight is not limited to combat, he can also perceive many things even in daily life. ]
[“Nothing, it’s just… I was persuaded by Loki. Loki is right. I owe a lot of blood debts.”]
"Can you lend me your notes?"
L said to Light Yagami, and Light Yagami handed over the notebook in his hand. L looked at Light Yagami's notebook, which was the page that Light Yagami had just recorded.
The first generation of Avengers: Iron Man Zhuge Cong, War Machine Hikigaya Hachiman, Black Widow Vermouth, Hawkeye Emiya Shirou, Hulk Ishigami Senku, Thor, and Captain Steve Rogers.
"That's my guess, because there are a few more candidates, and I'm still thinking about it."
Light Yagami spoke up and mentioned several other candidates, namely Zhuge Cong's bodyguard Lion King Si, the only member of the Iron Alliance Scorpion, Agent Dusk, and Agent Yor. However, due to some factors, Light Yagami did not rashly add them in.
Then L roughly flipped through Light Yagami's notebook. There was not much recorded in this notebook. After all, it was a new notebook, and the previous notebook had already been filled up by Light Yagami.
"Well, the record is quite good. In some aspects, it is better and more detailed than the records of the Light Curtain Organization."
L looked at Light Yagami's notes and commented. Gordon, who was standing by, could only feel helpless in his heart after hearing L's words, but he was also curious why L praised him like that, so he leaned over to take a few glances at Light Yagami's notes. Then Gordon said that indeed, if Light Yagami joined the intelligence gathering department of the Light Curtain Organization, he would definitely be very powerful.
"What do you think will be Loki's final fate? Will the Chita army descend on Earth?"
L said to Light Yagami.
"I think Loki's fate is that he will be taken back to Asgard by Thor, the god of thunder. As for the Chitauri army."
"I think it's too difficult for the armed forces on Earth to contend with an alien army. I guess in the end it will just be the Avengers and Loki fighting. Of course, I can't say for sure what it will be like."
Light Yagami expressed his thoughts. In Light Yagami's opinion, an army with the Chitauri appearance has already fought on alien planets, so it should be easy to deal with a civilization on Earth that can't even build warships outside the Earth.
It’s just that they might not use anti-planet weapons even if they have them because they are concerned that Loki wants to become the king of the Earth.
“Is he married?”
[Captain Rogers found Zhuge Cong who was in a daze somewhere before Hikigaya Hachiman.]
[“He’s married. He’s with his high school classmate and they have a daughter who’s only in middle school now.”]
[Zhuge Cong replied.]
“I’m sorry.”
“He looks like a nice guy.”
[Captain Rogers heard what Zhuge Cong said.]
[“Humph, Nishikata is just a fool.”]
[Zhuge Cong said in anger. In Zhuge Cong's opinion, Xi Pian is just an ordinary person. He doesn't have a super strong physical fitness to be fearless of death, nor does he have a strong armor to protect himself. Why does he want to challenge Loki? 】
【“Why do you say that? Just because he has faith?”】
[“No, because Nishikata went alone to challenge Loki.”]
[“He is doing his job conscientiously, that’s not stupid.”]
[“That’s overestimating one’s own capabilities. Xipian should have waited for support. He should…”]
[Zhuge Cong didn't know what to say. Regarding Xi Pian's death, Zhuge Cong blamed himself for not being able to solve the problem quickly and help Xi Pian. ]
[“Sometimes there is no other way, Cong.”]
[“Just like I’m following orders.”]
[At this time, Hikigaya Hachiman also came over and said to Zhuge Cong. Hikigaya Hachiman could understand Zhuge Cong's current mood. ]
[“But what orders did Nishikata have to take that heavy, useless weapon that takes a long time to charge and fight Loki?”]
[Zhuge Cong said, Rogers looked at Zhuge Cong's expression and suddenly thought of something and said.]
[“Is this the first time you’ve lost a comrade?”]
"We are not warriors."
[Zhuge Cong felt a little regretful after saying this. This was the first time he lost a comrade, but it was not the first time he lost one. That’s why Zhuge Cong wanted to protect the people he cared about and didn’t want to lose them again. The feeling of losing was so painful that it was hard to breathe.]
[“I will not obey King.”]
[“Likewise, I will not obey him. He should also bear some responsibility for the crimes committed by Loki, but we have to put those aside for now. We have to deal with the external enemies first.”]
[Captain Rogers said to Zhuge Cong.]
268: Ayanokouji Kiyotaka: Loki is still arrogant
[“Loki needs a source of energy. If we can list Loki…”]
[Captain Rogers continued to tell Zhuge Cong his thoughts, and at this time, listening to Captain Rogers' words about unity and external relations, he also thought of something and said something. ]
[“Loki turned a big vendetta into a personal one.”]
【Zhuge Cong suddenly said that Loki volunteered to be arrested on the aircraft carrier. In addition to allowing the Hulk to transform, destroy the aircraft carrier, and kill as many core members of SHIELD as possible, there is now another new thing, which is to make the Avengers, which are not united to begin with, fall apart and make them hostile to each other.】
【“That’s not the point. The point now is…”】
[“No, Captain, this is the point. This is Loki’s purpose.”]
[Hikigaya Hachiman, who was standing by, suddenly came to his senses after hearing what Zhuge Cong said. He also thought of the scene at the beginning when they were arguing loudly in the laboratory and were about to fight.]
[“Think about it, why would Loki go straight to our lair?”]
[Zhuge Cong said to Captain Rogers.]
[“To make it easier to defeat us in one fell swoop?”]
[“Yes, dispersing and defeating them is indeed a good strategy, but Loki knows that we are a stumbling block to his great cause, right?”]
[“We are Loki’s knot.”]
[Zhuge Cong said seriously.]
[“Loki wants to defeat us and wants others to watch him win. He is like a performer who wants an audience.”]
[“Yes, wasn’t he performing there when we arrested Bambi?”]
[Hearing Zhuge Cong's words, Hachiman Hikigaya also thought of the scene when he and Zhuge Cong teamed up to deal with Loki in the beginning. There were many people kneeling there, and Loki and Captain Rogers were fighting each other like a stage play.]
[“No words, but that was just a preview for Loki. You should know that tonight is Loki’s debut night.”]
[“Loki is the star of this show. He wants people to give him flowers and to show off so that everyone knows about it.”]
[Zhuge Cong also became a little excited, and at the same time, he was mentally prepared to make Loki's play a disaster.]
[“Yeah, I bet he would definitely think of building a monument that reaches the sky, and then engrave Loki’s name on the monument, and also make a statue of him on the monument.”]
[Hikigaya Hachiman on the side continued Zhuge Cong's words. ]
[“So we’re going to make this opening night of Rocky’s play end in tragedy.”]
[Captain Rogers also understood what Zhuge Cong and Hikigaya Hachiman said.]
"It's a very good plan, and it's even 90% successful, but it's still a little short. Maybe if Loki hadn't killed Agent Xipian, no, if he hadn't killed Agent Xipian, it wouldn't have provoked Zhuge Cong and the others."
"But Loki may not know the relationship between Agent Xipian and Zhuge Cong and others."
"If you think about it this way, if Loki doesn't kill Agent West, maybe even if the Avengers are formed, it will be difficult to truly unite and form a team."
"But now that Agent Nishikata is dead, anger and hatred will become the bond between the members of the Avengers. This also allows the Avengers to have a common enemy with great hatred after they are formed. This is quite consistent with the name of the organization, the Avengers."
"And if Loki knew about the relationship between Agent Nishikata and Zhuge Cong from Hawkeye Emiya Shirou, then it can only be said that Loki made a wrong bet and did not create a rift between the Avengers. Another factor is that Nishikata's active attack provoked Loki, so even if Loki did not intend to kill Nishikata, he would have killed Nishikata for this reason."
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka looked at the conversation between Zhuge Cong and the other two in the light curtain and thought that he had to admit that Ayanokouji Kiyotaka felt that Loki, the god of mischief, did have many schemes. He executed several schemes at the same time in one action. Although not all of them were successfully implemented, several of them were completed.
Loki's strategies are indeed sophisticated and his calculations are powerful, but Ayanokouji Kiyotaka feels that Loki may be looking down on others. Ayanokouji Kiyotaka feels that if Loki really regards dealing with SHIELD as a big deal, the insidiousness of his strategies will probably rise several levels.
After all, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka looked at Loki in the light curtain and saw that he didn't do much the whole time in the SHIELD's aircraft carrier, it seemed like he was just watching a play.
[At this time, Dr. Nariyuki Souga, who was controlled by Loki, was busy in front of a strange-shaped machine, and the Cosmic Cube that SHIELD had been thinking about was also placed in the center of the strange-shaped machine. Obviously, this strange-shaped machine was the device that Dr. Nariyuki Souga built to activate the Cosmic Cube and summon the Chita army.]
[It would have been impossible for Dr. Nariyuki Souma to create it, but Dr. Nariyuki Souma, who had gained a lot of knowledge with the help of Loki, also succeeded in creating it. ]
[The location chosen by Loki was also very sophisticated. It was placed on the roof of Zhuge Cong Building, the tallest building in the entire city. It also fits what Zhuge Cong said. Loki wanted to put on a grand performance that everyone could see.]
"If Loki had more people, I guess Loki would have staged a Now You See Me show. Oh, but Loki doesn't seem to have anything to steal. No, the ownership of the Earth should be considered."
Nayuki Ang looked at the location chosen by Loki within the light curtain and complained, he thought Loki would be placed in a secluded place such as a mountain, but that's right, if he wasn't high-profile, he wouldn't be Loki.
------------
"Do you think the Chitauri army can be successfully summoned to Earth?"
L asked Light Yagami. Light Yagami thought about it after hearing L's question and then shook his head and said.
"do not know?"
"That's different from what you said before. You said you wouldn't summon a Chirita army."
L said to Light Yagami jokingly.
"I'm not a god, so I can't predict what will happen in the future. Besides, it's still a mystery whether the Chita army can be summoned to Earth."
Light Yagami feels that there is still a 50% chance that the Chita army can be summoned now. After all, the portal has not been truly opened yet, so the Avengers can still stop it.
269: Otosaka Yuu: What does this Hikigaya want to do?!
[“It’s time to go.”]
[Captain Rogers, wearing his combat uniform, found Black Widow Vermouth and said.]
[“Hmm? Where to?”]
[Black Widow Vermouth looked at Captain Rogers and said.]
[“We’ll talk about it on the way.”]
“Can you fly a plane?”
[Captain Rogers, who is pressed for time, doesn't want to waste even a second. ]
【"I can."】
[After washing up, Hawkeye Shirou Emiya came out of the toilet and said, Captain Rogers looked at Black Widow Vermouth. Vermouth knew that Captain Rogers was looking at her, which meant to ask if Hawkeye Shirou Emiya had recovered. She nodded, and after getting the affirmation from Black Widow Vermouth, she also said to Hawkeye Shirou Emiya.]
【“Then put it on.”】
