Chapter 53 Transactions
Mercury Girl Shake (Ka Al): "I see..."
Zhou Ke: "It's good that you understand. β
Mercury Girl Shake (Ka El): "You have already made up your mind, and our methods are superfluous. β
Zhou Ke: "Looks like you don't fully understand what I mean... I did have an idea, but your methods are not all superfluous. β
Mercury Girl Shake (Ka Al): "For example?"
Zhou Ke: "None of your methods to increase my resistance to damage or reduce the damage of the [Reality Stone] can be implemented in the "Arkham Mental Hospital", right?"
Mercury Girl Shake (Ka Al): "You want us to get you out?"
Zhou Ke: "Yes, time is pressing, I may not be able to escape within the time limit set by [Gordon] alone, I need your help." β
Mercury Girl Shake (Ka Al): "You don't accept the help of [Supreme Cube], but you ask for our help?"
Zhou Ke: "The help of [Supreme Cube] is a "charity" of [Golden], of course I cannot accept it, and your help is something I obtained through "trading", and it is reasonable for me to accept your help. β
Mercury Girl (Ka El): "What do you mean by 'deal'?"
Zhou Ke: "If you help me escape, I will help you eliminate the "reaction force" of the [Reality Stone]." β
Mercury Girl Shake (Ka Al): "Is that true!?"
Zhou Ke: "It must be true, I can't "eat white food" in this matter, otherwise "Taiyi" and "Audience Lords" will not buy it... What is your answer?"
Mercury Girl Shake (Ka Al): "No problem, I'll take you out now!"
Zhou Ke: "Stop, stop, don't be in a hurry, let me finish speaking... If I am only thinking about escaping from the Ackham Asylum, it is the easiest way for me to entrust it to you, but in the long run, I cannot rely too much on you in the process of escaping. β
Mercury Girl Shake (Ka Al): "What do you mean by 'thinking long-term'?" - puzzled
Zhou Ke: "After I escape from here, I have to complete the "deal" with you and accept the trial of the [Reality Stone], so I must plan for this. β
Mercury Girl Shake (Ka El): "How did you escape from here have anything to do with accepting the trial of the [Reality Stone]?"βeven more puzzled
Zhou Ke: "It's a big deal, I'll explain it to you." You have the Stone of Reality, and any action you make will have a "reaction force". To give you a ready-made example, if I escape from the "Arkham Asylum" with your help, you will have a "reaction force", and the more I rely on you, the more "reaction force" you will generate. It stands to reason that these "reaction forces" should have manifested themselves in the process of taking me out of the "Ackham Mental Hospital", but with your ability to get me out of here, it would have been possible for you to force down and accumulate the "reaction forces" that should have manifested during this period. In the same way, when you are dealing with other general affairs, the "reaction forces" that should have appeared are also forcibly suppressed and accumulated by you, and these "reaction forces" accumulated bit by bit will never disappear out of thin air, they will burst out at a certain 'critical time'. β
Mercury Girl Shake (Ka Al): "Then a certain 'critical time' is when you are under the [Reality Stone] trial?" - understood
Zhou Ke: "(nodding)... This is very likely, because if I successfully pass the trial of the [Reality Stone] and become the master of the [Reality Stone], the "reaction force" that you have accumulated for a long time will be written off, and the "Cosmic Will" (Life Court) will definitely come to you to 'settle the score' before this, otherwise your 'debt' will never be recovered... Now you understand why I'm going to think long-term, right? I have to keep the risk to a minimum. β
Mercury Girl Shake (Ka El): "Even if we get you out of here directly, as you say, we won't add much "reaction force", you must be too cautious, right?"
Zhou Ke: "No way, this is directly related to my "survival probability", even if it can only increase the chance of 1 in 10,000, I will not be too little." - Resolute attitude
Mercury Girl Shake (Ka El): "Okay, as long as you can eliminate the "reaction force" of the [Reality Stone], I will do it all up to you." - Compromise
Zhou Ke: "Okay, then first, let's put a few "malignant tumors" in my body. β
Mercury Girl Shake (Ka El): "Huh?"
Zhou Ke: "Before, in the false world created by me and the "designer", didn't you put one in the head of your subordinates? βreminds
Mercury Girl Shake (Ka Al): "You mean the "one-way translator" I installed for [Barton]?" (Volume 4, Chapter 105)
Zhou Ke: "Yes, it's the kind of thing that can show the medical characteristics of a "malignant tumor". β
Mercury Girl Shake (Ka Al): "You want to get out through "medical parole"?"
Zhou Ke: "This is the hospital, you don't need to be "on parole" to "seek medical treatment". β
Mercury Girl Shake (Ka Al): "Then why are you...?"
Zhou Ke: "Let's take a look at the recap again. I remember [Gordon] mentioned to you that he had a terminally ill colleague (Deadpool) who, with the help of [Hydra], obtained immortality through physical transformation and cured the terminal illness he was suffering from. (Volume IV, Chapter 36)" - Review
Mercury Girl Shake (Ka Al): "That's the case, that person transplanted the self-healing factor of [Logan], gained the ability to heal himself, and avoided death from cancer. β
Zhou Ke: "Coincidentally, there is a scientist in the Arkham Mental Hospital who studies the "regeneration serum". β
Mercury Girl Shake (Ka Al): "You mean Dr. Connors?"
Zhou Ke: "Yes, it's him, he's still recruiting volunteers for clinical trials in the Arkham Mental Hospital." (Volume III, Chapter 59)"
Mercury Girl Shake (Ka Al): "You want to squeeze into Dr. Connors's volunteer list?"
Zhou Ke: "For a patient like me who has advanced cancer and a "malignant tumor" that has spread throughout the body, it is normal for me to hope to get a turnaround through new drugs or new treatments. β
Mercury Sister Shake (Ka Al): "Normal is normal, but people don't have to be you." β
Zhou Ke: "I need you to help me get it done." "βlaughs
