Chapter 44: It's Time to Build a Spaceship Five
The well-informed Agent Coulson didn't believe Li Yunlong's indiscriminate blowing conch, "Are you reinterpreting your own selfishness?"
Li Yunlong: "I'm just describing the facts that you refuse to say, no matter how cunning you are, blinding the public, and deceiving the people, but the facts are the facts, and with the passage of time, sooner or later, your ugly true colors will be clearly seen by everyone! And on that day, I will be admired and followed by countless people!"
Agent Coulson: "Do you admire and follow you in your dreams?" Agent Coulson himself has no confidence in saying this, and there are so many cults in Laomei that even psychopathic serial murderers are worshiped and followed.
Although Li Yunlong's theory is evil and extreme, at least the core idea is logically self-consistent, plus Li Yunlong can not only move his mouth, but he really has the power of magic in his hands, so it is not too easy to mix with a cult leader in this place of Lao Mei!
So now it's Agent Coulson's turn to forcibly change the topic, "In short, neither I nor S.H.I.E.L.D. can sell the spaceship to you!" Agent Coulson looked down at Li Yunlong with righteousness, "Now, if you don't plan to illegally detain me, I'm going back." After saying that, Agent Coulson didn't act, he was waiting for Li Yunlong's answer.
Li Yunlong shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly, "This is really a bad exchange, it seems that both of us are in a very unhappy mood now, and it is difficult to make rational and calm judgments under impulse." Well, Mr. Coulson, we'll all give each other a little time, and maybe we'll have a new judgment when we've calmed down. How about we get back to us by phone after you go back twenty-four hours?"
This result was undoubtedly not the best, but at the same time it was not the worst choice, Agent Coulson immediately agreed, until he left Li Yunlong's hut, got into his car, and saw that Li Yunlong did not catch up again, that he really relaxed, let out a sigh of relief, and drove back. In the process, Agent Coulson did not return the cursed ring and the fire demon incarnation card to Li Yunlong, and Li Yunlong did not mention it, so he acquiesced to Agent Coulson to take them away.
That night, Agent Coulson rushed back to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters on a S.H.I.E.L.D. plane, and Director Nick was waiting for him with his team. Despite everyone's anxiousness, Agent Coulson went through strict security.
Doctor Strange was also specially invited to confirm that Agent Coulson was not used by Mr. Spectre in any magical aspects, and then Doctor Strange cooperated with the experts of S.H.I.E.L.D. to study and analyze, and Agent Coulson brought back the cursed ring and the fire demon incarnation card, a special combination of magic items.
Agent Coulson himself came to Director Nick's office, and although on the way, Agent Coulson had already reported on his operation, but Director Nick wanted to know more.
"Coulson, what do you think of this abnormal change in Mr. Ghost?" For Director Nick, Mr. Ghost Li Yunlong has always been a thorn in his heart.
Since the previous generation of Supreme Mage, the Ancient One Mage, was unsuccessful in personally attacking Li Yunlong, but was killed by Li Yunlong with a curse, Director Nick has never dared to relax his monitoring of Li Yunlong, for fear that one day Li Yunlong will go crazy and cause a big mess for himself.
Originally, Li Yunlong pointed all his attributes on the otaku, although it looked very eye-catching, but at least he honestly lay down in his lair, but in the past two years, Li Yunlong has behaved very abnormally, first attracted by Thor's hammer, ran to New Mexico, and now he is negotiating a deal with Agent Coulson, wanting to buy a spaceship, Director Nick is eager to find out why Li Yunlong has these abnormalities!
Agent Coulson: "I thought about it on the way, and I think Mr. Ghost has confirmed his judgment in some way - Ragnarok is coming!, so Mr. Ghost has given up on his old way of life and is desperate to get a spaceship to escape the impending disaster!"
Director Nick: "Do you think Ragnarok is coming?"
Agent Coulson: "I'm neither a historian nor a researcher of the occult, and I can't tell if or when Ragnarok will come. ”
Director Nick heard the subtext in Agent Coulson's words, and Agent Coulson, from his personal feelings, thought that Li Yunlong's judgment was correct, and Ragnarok was coming!
"I see what you mean. You go and rest first, and I'll send someone to call you when the experts have completed their initial research on the Cursed Ring and the Fire Demon Incarnation Card. "Sent Agent Coulson away, Director Nick has a headache in the office, Mr. Ghost was already a big trouble, and now not only is this trouble unsolved, but it may also lead to another big thunder - Ragnarok!
No matter how much headache it has, the work still has to be done, and as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., who specializes in dealing with all kinds of troublesome issues, Director Nick has no time without headaches.
Fortunately, some people are still more reliable, such as Doctor Strange of the British aristocratic faction, but this time Doctor Strange did not bring good news to Director Nick.
The Cursed Ring and the Fire Demon Avatar Card have been confirmed to be functional, their shortcomings have been proven, and Doctor Strange has proven that the main ingredient used in this set of weird and evil combination magic items is none other than the hapless Fire Demon!
Director Nick: "So Mr. Spectre didn't deceive us about this set of magic items, am I right, Doctor?"
Doctor Strange: "Basically. But Mr. Ghost obviously lied about the harmfulness, maybe Mr. Ghost will sophistry that he himself is not lying, but in fact, it is almost impossible for ordinary people to pass the spiritual evaluation of the cursed ring!"
Director Nick: "That means we need professionals to use this cursed ring. ”
Doctor Strange: "No! Cursed Rings are still dangerous even for a good mage! Obviously, you don't have a clear idea of this, so I'll probably explain it to you. Demons are the clan of the abyss, and the fire demons are a large category of demons, and even among demons they belong to a powerful race. It's more difficult than you might think to catch a firefiend and use it as an ingredient to craft a combo powerhouse! Mr. Spectre's ability to do this speaks volumes about his occult prowess and his power. ”
Director Nick suppressed his urge to interrupt Doctor Strange's speech, as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., he prefers efficient work, if it was his subordinates who were going around so much when making a report, Director Nick would have scolded him a long time ago, just say the point, you don't lack time, my time as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. is still precious!
Doctor Strange: "If the devil represents the evil of order, then the demon represents the evil of chaos! This is the nature of the abyss when the demon was conceived, and it cannot be changed at all! This characteristic is manifested in all aspects, even if the demon is dead in the concept of ordinary people, this will not change. ”
Director Nick: "What does it mean in the concept of an ordinary person? Does it mean that a demon can be resurrected after death?"
Doctor Strange "It's a pity, but that's true! The life form of the demon is different from that of humans, it is chaotic and twisted in nature, as a family member of the abyss, even if the demon is killed by us in the human world, its essence will not be destroyed, if it is its doppelganger who is killed in the human world, then the demon will only lose part of its power. If it is the demon itself that is killed in the human realm, then it will also be reborn in the abyss in a weak form. ”
Director Nick: "You mean that Mr. Spectre killed a fire demon, the fire demon's soul escaped back into the abyss and was reborn, and the fire demon's body was left behind by Mr. Ghost and used as a raw material to make this set of magic items. ”
Doctor Strange: "No! That's the terrible thing about Mr. Spectre, the fire demon's soul didn't make it back to the abyss! Mr. Ghost used the fire demon's own core to create the cursed ring, and the fire demon's soul was sealed in the cursed ring. That's why I said that this flame demon was unlucky, its death was equivalent to a real death, and it couldn't be reborn in the abyss at all. ”
Director Nick: "This may indicate that Mr. Spectre's skills are good, but since you have actually killed this hapless fire demon, Doctor, why do you still think the Cursed Ring is very dangerous?"
Doctor Strange "Even if the hapless fire demon dies, its chaotic nature will not change, and Mr. Spectre has used a clever trick here, he has suppressed the chaos in the demonic nature with the order of the seal, which makes the cursed ring almost safe when it is not being used. But when someone takes the initiative to use the cursed ring, it is equivalent to artificially circumventing the seal and taking the initiative to contact the chaos in the demonic nature! Even if the chaos in the demonic nature is in the seal, it is very dangerous to take the initiative to contact it! The effect is described by Mr. Ghost with the irregular mental detection in the game, but in fact, this is equivalent to the wearer using his soul to contact the powerful source of pollution, and this pollution will completely distort the wearer's soul when it accumulates to a certain extent, and a new juvenile fire demon will be born! Unless you don't use it, there is almost no way to isolate this kind of pollution, even if it is an excellent mage, his soul is very dangerous to face this chaotic pollution from demons, let alone ordinary people!"
Director Nick: "That means if I let my agents use this cursed ring, they'll be 100% tainted and turn into a firefiend. ”
Doctor Strange "Their souls will be polluted, but they will not necessarily be reincarnated into fire demons!" Demons are chaotic by nature, and there are too many uncontrollable possibilities in the process of being polluted and transformed, and I can't judge in advance which kind of demons they will transform into. ”
Director Nick: "What if it's just one or two uses? Is it possible to artificially control the number of times they use them, so that their contamination is under control?"
Doctor Strange: "The contamination from using the cursed ring is different from the contamination caused by chemical products, and this contamination acts directly on the soul, even if it is used once, it means leaving a seed on one's soul. The soul of a demon is much stronger than the soul of a human, and the seed left behind by the pollution, even if it cannot draw power from the soul of the demon again, it can parasitize on the soul of a human being, and it can grow on its own by absorbing the sins of the host, and finally accumulate enough power to completely pollute the host and degenerate into a demon!"
