12. The Truth (True) [17/100]

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Scolru in front of you is no nameless. His name was Taros, and he was the leader of the Skorru's military forces, at least once was. ”

In the living room of Maria's house, Carol. Danvers looked at the aliens tied to the pillars, and she introduced to the others:

"The ancestors of the Skorul have been trying to amplify this invasion for generations, having tasted the rewards of their civilizational subversive warfare, which they excelled in.

"They have been victorious, using their camouflage abilities and plundered resources to build a vast Star Sea Empire. Until, they targeted the Kree in their war. ”

"The highest intelligence of the Kree civilization sensed the Skorru's plan nearly 10,000 years ago, and it conveyed this threat to several of the Kree Empire's war leaders, including the Council of Supreme Accusers, and the Kree Empire sent a fleet to start fighting the Skoruls. But no one could have imagined that the war... It has continued until now. ”

Carol didn't seem to want to talk too much about the Cree civilization, so she turned to the alien Talos in front of her.

The blonde chick stood up and said to the others with vigilance:

"Our Mr. Taros is the most trusted spy captain of the Skorul Empress, who has commanded the Skorul's professional spies to invade several planets and successfully subvert those civilizations."

"He is a real master spy, in the Kree military department, the head of His Excellency Talos is worth 80 million star dollars, but more than ten years ago, Talos mysteriously disappeared."

"There is gossip that Talos has escaped from the rule of the Skoru Empress and fled to the edge of the galaxy with some of the Scruh refugees who lost their homes to the war. But I didn't expect that I would meet this famous commander in the galaxy. ”

"So, Lord Taros, is this yet another act of civilizational subversion?"

Fury's eyebrows furrowed, and he asked in a deep voice:

"This time, your target is Earth?"

"No kidding, earthling."

Talos was tied to a pillar, he maintained that uncomfortable position, he looked at Fury with a strange smile on his face, and he said:

"You think too highly of yourself, and with your current strength, you won't need Skru's spy force at all... The Empress only needs to send a cruising fleet to easily take over your world. You haven't stepped into the stage of the Star Sea War yet. ”

"Perhaps, in the eyes of this Carroll lady, you are all just a bunch of newly civilized savages... Although, she is also from among you. ”

Talos let out a low chuckle, but in Carol. Before Danvers got angry, he quickly changed the subject.

He said to Fury and the agents in front of him:

"Carol tells you that it's true, and there's no need to doubt her. I did serve the Empress, but that was from the past... I almost lost my loved ones in the war, which made me realize that the war between the Empress and the Cree is not only a matter of suffering for the Cree, but also for us. ”

"What's more, after the Kree destroyed our home planet, the Empress has no way out."

"She'll either destroy the Cree with us, or she'll die in the war, but either way, the Skorull civilization will decline."

Talos said in a gloomy tone:

"It's not what I want to see, and it's not what my grandparents wanted to see. So I left the spy army and went into exile with my people who were willing to follow me, trying to find a new home that would not be affected by the war... But the entire galaxy has been affected by the war between the Skoruls and the Kree. If we want to survive and reforge civilization, we have to leave the galaxy. ”

Talos looked up, and he looked at Fury:

"If we want to safely cross the battlefield and leave the galaxy under the joint round-up of the pursuers on both sides, we need one thing..."

"Photon Engine!"

"What's that?"

Fury asked rhetorically.

He could sense that this so-called photonic engine must be a very powerful thing, but unfortunately, with his scientific knowledge, he couldn't understand how powerful this unclear thing really was from the name.

"It's a warship engine that, even in Kree technology, is only in the concept stage."

Standing aside and cross-armed, Carol explained in a low voice:

"I listen to Yong. Rogge talked about this, and he said that the highest intelligence of the Kree people had been calling on enormous amounts of computation to try to simulate a prototype of the photonic engine. Once that thing is put into use, it will increase the power of existing warships by more than 5 times, and can propel them forward in the sea of stars at more than 10 times the speed. ”

"As fast as the light?"

Merlin interjected, which drew a mockery from Talos.

"No, no, no, the photonic engine is much faster than light! What it really does is it allows ships to open wormholes more often, allowing us exiles to get out of the battlefield before being captured and targeted by enemy ships. ”

After saying that, Talos looked at Carol with an indifferent face. Danfoss, he said:

"Six years ago, Ma. Will contacted me and said she had completed the design and installation of the photonic engine and had converted her lab into a refugee ship. But when I took the remnants of my people to earth, what I got was Ma. News of Will's death. ”

"Wendy. Lawson? ”

Fury asked the name rhetorically, and Talos nodded, tilting his head and looking at Fury:

"That's right, that's Ma. Will's disguised identity on Earth. ”

"But Yong. Rogge told me that Mar. Will is a spy for the Kree military, and she went to Earth to investigate that special energy and develop a weapon for the Kree to end the war! ”

Carol looked at Talos, her voice full of doubt:

"So, who the hell am I supposed to trust?"

"He didn't lie to you, poor Carol."

Talos let out a low laugh and said:

"The highest level of lying is to tell the truth, but when combined, it is a fatal lie."

"Ma. Will is indeed a spy for the Kree military, but she's a rare pacifist, and like me, she's lost a lot in the war between the two clans. What is most precious about her compared to other Cree people is that she reflects on the consequences of war. She's seen with her own eyes how unjust the Kree wars are..."

"We, the exiles who have escaped the war, are still within the range of the ruthless destruction of your warships."

"Ma. Will is not like the bombastic hypocrites, the two of us saved each other's lives in the war, and she is my only Kerry friend. ”

Talos Says:

"She reached out to me and told me that she would help us design a photonic engine to help those of us who don't want war leave the galaxy and find a new home."

"She also told me that the Kree were right about their photonic engine blueprints, and that the reason they weren't able to make progress was because they lacked a space-related energy."

"And that kind of energy has appeared on Earth!"

The leader of the Skorrus said in a deep voice:

"This is Ma. The reason Will arrived on Earth, everything she did, was not to end the war, but to save lives. ”

"That's right! Wendy. Lawson does say this to us a lot. ”

Maria held Carol's hand, and she said to her best friend:

"She always said that it wasn't to end the war, it was to do something good."

"But Yong. Rog, he said..."

Carol was about to say something, but was interrupted by Natasha, who was standing beside her.

The black widow brushed her long, burgundy hair, and said to Carol:

"Forget that what Yong. Rogge, I don't know your story, but as far as I know so far, it's clear that the Kree is manipulating your mind, and you see, if all the evidence you've found now is true, it's clearly true! That means he's already lied to you once. ”

"The first time a man cheats on you, there will always be a second time."

"Carol, believe me, I've been through the same thing... It's just that you're in a worse situation than I was then. ”

Natasha patted Carol on the shoulder and said:

"I ended that relationship of deceiving and being deceived with a bullet, Carol, you need probably more than a bullet."

"And you're an earthling, Carol, you've seen the papers."

Merlin also spoke:

"You've never been a Kree. Stop being influenced by the false memories in your head. What's more, I'm wondering why you're so brave about that. Rogge so trusted? Did he save you? Is he your lover? ”

"He saved me! More than once! ”

Carroll's tone became a little more intense, and she said:

"The first memory in my mind is that I was sent to Hala when I was dying. The doctors said I can't be saved, but brave. Rogge saved me with his own blood, and a third of my blood came from him... He gave me life, and he trained me and recruited me into the starbands. ”

"Wrong!"

The silent Barton shook his head, and the cold agent hit the nail on the head:

"He saved you to pollute you! He trained you to turn you into his war machine! He is the root of all evil for you! ”

"That's probably why you haven't been able to regain your memory, Carol."

Fury looked back at the dazed and painful blonde chick and said:

"You have Cree blood in you... He is no longer a pure earthling. Those alien mongrels are probably using this method to control you. ”

"So what are we going to do?"

Carol's former best friend, pilot Maria, comforts the distressed Carol by her side and asks:

"Are we going to exchange her blood? Hemodialysis? ”

"No!"

Fury shook his head, he looked at the silent Talos, and he said:

"Why don't you ask Mr. Taros? He has been fighting the Cree for many years, and he is more familiar with the Cree methods than we are. ”

"Bang"

At Fury's motion, Merlin reached out and unlocked the chain that bound Talos, then held the pistol against the back of Talos' head.

Fury pointed to Carol and said to the Scolrull in front of him:

"Didn't you say you didn't come with malice?"

"Come, show your sincerity."

Liberated, Talos moved his wrists as he picked up the water on the table and drank it down, pouring a glass of water for his bound subordinates.

He turned his head to look at Fury, and he said:

"Do you trust me that much? Earthling. You see, in the entire galaxy, not many beings would dare to trust the Skoruls. ”

"I don't trust you."

Fury said calmly.

"So she lives and you live, and she dies and you die."

The second half of Fury's unspoken sentence was filled in by Merlin, who was armed with a pistol.

"Hahaha, coercive means."

Talos didn't care about the pistol against the back of his head, and he said to everyone in front of him:

"Don't worry, I won't let Ms. Carol die, at least until she tells us where the Photon Engine is, and I'll be braver than you are to protect her."

"As for Ms. Carroll's question... Actually, it's easy to solve. ”

Talos moved his finger as he said to Carol:

"We just need to do the one that was interrupted on the ship before."

"The Scolruuls have a gift for entering the memories of others. The Kree people's memory blockade, to put it bluntly, is a physiological method, forcibly forgetting, like covering the memory with a layer of white paper, as long as I can find Carol's overwritten memory, and then wake it up. ”

The alien winked at Fury, and he whispered:

"You'll get your super soldiers, and I'll have hope for my race."

"Oh, by the way, to show my sincerity, I'll give you this thing first."

Talos took out a disc-like object from his black coat, handed it to Fury, and said:

"This is what I found, about Ma. The last remaining information before Will's crash was Ms. Carroll's voice, which proved that Marl. She was there when Will died. And I found an important code in Ms. Carroll's memory, but unfortunately, we couldn't crack it. ”

Fury looked at Talos, he took the CD, and Barton next to him quickly opened the computer in the room, and the disc was inserted, and after a long reading process, a hurried woman's voice sounded in it.

"I really shouldn't have brought you with me. They're coming, they're knowing my secrets, and they're not going to let me live. I'm sorry, Carol, I've got you covered. ”

"Don't be stupid, Lawson. Sit tight, I'm going to speed up! ”

"We got shot, damn it! Catapult! Catapult! ”

"Lawson! Get ready! I'm going to crash land! ”

"Boom"

A series of loud noises, as if the forced landing was successful, and as if something had exploded.

"That's your voice, right?"

Merlin looked back at Carol, who pursed his lips and nodded.

"Let's talk about it separately."

Seeing the confusion in Carol's eyes, Merlin suddenly said something to the others. Fury nodded to the others as well, and the room left.

In the room, only Merlin and Carol remained.

"The last time we separated, I told you, I understand what it's like to be homeless."

Merlin sat next to Carol, and he looked at the agony blonde in front of him, and he said:

"I thought I was miserable enough, Carol. But after learning your story, I suddenly felt that fate was actually quite kind to me. ”

"But now these feelings don't solve the problem... That alien, I don't trust him, but he can really help you solve this problem and get back to the real you. ”

Carol did not answer, Merlin stood up, he reached out his hand, touched Carol's long golden hair, and he whispered:

"I know, it's not a question of taking risks or not."

"It's really a question of whether it's worth it... You are also afraid of the truth that may come, and maybe you killed Ma. Will. Perhaps, you are actually a Kree, but you were born on Earth..."

"Yes."

Carol whispered:

"I'm scared, Merlin. You're right, I'm afraid that the real me is not the one I imagined. ”

The blonde girl, who had always been known for her strong appearance, looked up, her blue eyes glistened with tears, and she looked at Merlin like a dazed stubborn girl, and she said in a trembling voice:

"Oh my God, I lived as a Kree for 6 years, and I now know that before that, I lived 22 years as an Earthling. You're all telling me that I'm an earthling, but my own instinct is telling me that I'm a Kree. ”

She clutched at her hair like she was about to collapse.

"Oh my God... Who the hell am I? Merlin, tell me who I really am. ”

Merlin shook his head, and he reached out and took Carol in his arms. This hug does not contain any erotic ingredients, just the sympathetic person snuggling up for warmth.

In the warm, dim light, the scene is like an older brother comforting his lost sister, even though Carol is about 5 years older than Merlin.

Merlin patted Carroll's trembling shoulder, and he whispered:

"You're Carol. Danvers. ”

"You're still you, take it as a dream. If you don't have a life, shape a life for yourself with your hands. That's what I did, and when I didn't know who I was, I chose to start over. ”

"I had a life of my own, I healed myself. Now it's your turn to heal yourself. ”

Merlin let go of the crying chick in his arms, and he looked at Carol, who was crying miserably in front of him. Danvers, he said to her with a smile:

"You're like another me, Carol."

"We never have to prove ourselves to anyone."

"Wipe your tears, let that Scrulone help you, help us... Find those, the missing things. ”
