Chapter 63: The Hidden Truth
"What? you want to see my father's notes?" Tony Stark was a little dissatisfied with the request made by Li Jie on the other end of the phone, "You know, it's a private thing. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Tony, I don't have much interest in the things your father left you to write. Li Jie's voice on the other end of the phone sounded quite calm: "I'm just a little curious about some things about the Brotherhood of Aegis. ”
"About the ins and outs and origins of this mysterious organization. And the xeno-invasion they once mentioned. I'd love to see it. ”
Tony held up the phone and thought for a moment. As the original inspiration of the Illuminati, Nightkin and Iron Man have always had a good relationship. Even for Tony, Nightkin is one of his most trusted heroes. Because there is no chaotic force behind the nightkin and life is more pure.
According to Nightkin said: I'm just doing what I want to do, and nothing else has anything to do with me.
This kind of free and easy Iron Man can't be learned, although Tony is a playboy on the surface, but there is still a lot of baggage in his heart.
After thinking for a long time, Tony finally replied, "Then I'll sort it out and show you the notes about my father." But I'll keep all the private parts. ”
"No problem, I don't have much interest in your family's privacy. The Nightkin on the other end of the line replied briskly.
After hanging up the phone, Li Jie made an OK gesture to Lan: "That's it, we can see if there is any relevant mention in Howard Stark's notes." ”
Arashi nodded at Li Jie, and Arashi, who was sitting on the floor, was surrounded by books. They've been searching here for over a week. It's a physical book for the most part.
Not those e-books, you just need to quietly search for keywords to get the information you want. These books are as thick as concrete bricks, and you need to go through them page by page.
Searching for the keyword "Howard Stark" in a sea of sources is not an easy task.
Li Jie's level of reading and searching is just the level of ordinary people. And Arashi, who has a natural reading fetish, is very good in this regard. She was able to look at books at a glance. And you can quickly view the details.
So almost all of the real search work is done by Lan, and Li Jie can only help. Then take care of Arashi's diet and life during this time.
Arashi stood up and stretched widely, her whole body crackling.
Li Jie walked to Lan's side, pinched her shoulder and said, "It's hard work, do I need to help you get a massage?" Li Jie pressed Lan's shoulder a few times as he spoke.
It's very suitable for light and heavy, and it just stimulates Arashi, who has some stiff muscles because of holding a position for a long time.
"Hmm~. Because it was very comfortable, Lan couldn't help but hum out from her nose: "You are very skilled, you often massage girls?"
"Heaven and earth conscience, absolutely not!" Li Jie immediately showed his innocence.
"Then why are you so skilled?" Arashi was a little suspicious.
Li Jie shrugged his shoulders and said, "You know, sometimes the ingredients also need to be massaged before they can be cooked. For example, knead the steak properly to soften the meat. In addition, if you don't massage the octopus when you make octopus sashimi, the meat will be hard and you can't eat it. ”
"So you're treating me like a steak or an octopus?" Lan picked at her long hair and looked back at Li Jie.
"Well, you can't compare it like that. You're a lot more expensive than a steak or something. Li Jie smiled and pinched Lan's shoulders twice.
While Li Jie helped Arashi massage and relax his muscles, Arashi also dug through several places about Howard Stark's account that he had found in the vast literature.
These are books written by Newton himself, and they are precious and cannot be destroyed. So Arashi magically marked a erasable red thread on the page.
In so many documents, there are three references to Howard Stark.
The first place:
[The clock may have gone wrong, but what went wrong with it?] My mentor Galileo Galilei did not make a mistake in his design. It's a little upset, but I'm going to meet Howard Stark anyway. 】
This is the first of these, where Newton mentions that he is upset by some kind of clock error. But he still needed to meet Howard. It seems like just a very normal essay.
It's possible that the clock was his experimental tool, or a synonym for some kind of prop.
And in the second place:
[Plans are always full of twists and turns, whether it's experiments or something else.] The more I knew, the more I discovered my ignorance. Howard was also very resistant to my plan, which was terrible. 】
Judging from this note, it seems that Howard was an assistant to one of Newton's experiments. This is normal because Howard was in his time, he used to be one of the best scientists in the world.
And as a member of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Brotherhood, it was normal for Newton to summon Howard and ask him for help with experiments. But it is not known what exactly Howard's resistance to the experiment was.
In the third place:
[It's business as usual, hopefully everything will run as usual.] Today's cooperation with Howard is relatively pleasant. But time is running out, and I need to get out of the way first. 】
Judging from the records here, Howard finally cooperated with Newton's experiment. And the two work together happily. Newton left again for some reason, probably somewhere.
So what happened to Howard and the Aegis Brotherhood before? Li Jie was very interested. It's not just about Howard's personal relationship anymore.
Because Newton was the previous leader of the Brotherhood of the Aegis, where was he when the Brotherhood of the Shield fell? or what role did he play in the event that destroyed the hidden elite of all mankind?
Li Jie was very, very curious, so he asked Tony for Howard's notes.
Because all of Newton's previous records were in one of his essays, not a book written on its own. The essay is very, very messy.
It contains fragmentary records of his personal food, clothing, housing and transportation, as well as some local customs and experiences that he feels are special. Most of them are about the weather.
What Li Jie found very strange was that in the 18th century, Newton's weather records were almost always months of heavy rain or months of sun exposure. Is there a place on earth with such a climate? Li Jie was deeply skeptical.
So when he retrieved a stack of Howard's personal notes from Tony's hands, Li Jie and Arashi were caught in a sea of searching.
Li Jie wanted to know if Howard had written the same story about Newton.
But in such rummaging, the appearance of a word caught Li Jie's attention. That's "Di", the word is exactly the same as the one on the pendant of Li Kit.
