Chapter 6: Hell Really Exists

Wanda had a hard time believing these things. What hell, the soul, Mephisto, the resurrection of the dead, these things don't sound like normal people would talk about. What are you kidding, if this is true, won't the whole world be in chaos?

But she seems to have forgotten that she herself is an augmenter, and that her very existence is beyond the comprehension of most normal people in her mouth.

To remind her of this, Belle tapped the coffee cup with her left hand, and the coffee inside immediately seemed to come to life, slowly floating out of the cup and turning into a thin stream, flowing around her hand. She deliberately shook her hand in front of Wanda's eyes, and then said, "Hey, our existence is not normal. ”

Wanda shook her head noncommittally and said, "Whatever you say, it's too dangerous to bring back Pietro's soul from hell. I want to save him, but what if something else is brought in? Aren't you afraid of the unknown at all? ”

"Afraid, but more curious." Belle said, letting the coffee fall back into the cup, "I was also very scared that I might have disrupted the timeline, and I couldn't sleep for a long time when I first found out. But what about it? Now I'm more curious about how I did it. If I do have the ability to interfere with time, I want to keep it under control. ”

"If this ability is manageable, it would be a good idea to resurrect Pietro. But hell or something, no. ”

Wanda's attitude is very resolute. She really couldn't forget that it was not the war between Ultron and the Avengers that destroyed Sokovia, but Iron Man Tony Stark who lost his rational judgment and rashly entered completely unknown territory. He has achieved a lot in artificial intelligence though. But getting AI to generate emotions and thoughts is a crazy thing in itself. Tony Stark made a mistake that led to a catastrophe that almost wiped out all of humanity, and Pietro died in the crisis. The past is still fresh in her mind, and Wanda can't accept any dangerous move, even if it can resurrect her only loved one.

"So, did our deal fail?" Belle asked.

"You're really a good fit for S.H.I.E.L.D., that one-eyed guy spends his days talking about deals, compromises, principles, and so on." Wanda looked a little irritated, "Don't you all understand things like friends and relationships?" ”

"We've only seen each other for the second time, can we be considered friends?"

"At first, I thought I could try it, but now it doesn't seem like there's much need."

Belle sincerely feels that her brain has been very bad lately. It's stupid to want to use a transaction to entrap the Scarlet Witch. Wanda is an emotional person, an emotional person with a very clear mind.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault." Belle quickly apologized and stopped Wanda as she got up to leave, "But I don't have any other way to get someone to be sent to spy on me than to trade, do I?" ”

Wanda was a little nervous when she saw Belle stop in front of her.

"Hey, hey, don't be nervous." Belle spread out her hands, signaling that she didn't play any tricks at all, and reminded the other party that she had noticed that Wanda's right hand behind her was secretly accumulating strength, "I don't want to do anything with you, and you shouldn't want to smash this poor little shop, right?" The shopkeeper's bank loan may not have been paid off yet. Can you sit down and talk? ”

Wanda thought for a moment and sat down again. Belle couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, just now, the ability she used to cover the voices and movements of the two of them was overwhelmed by Wanda's energy.

"I have absolutely no ill intentions, and when it comes to bringing Pietro back to life, it's not entirely out of trade." Belle sat down as well, "I just think it's unfair. He could have survived, but he sacrificed himself to save people. But if he lives, he may be able to save more people. Besides, is the person he saved really worth his life? ”

Wanda didn't speak, she didn't know what to say.

"With great power comes great responsibility, and we live in such a world." Belle continued, her voice unconsciously half an octave higher, "You, I, Iron Man, Captain America, we all have our own abilities, problem-solving abilities. However, we do not have the capacity to take responsibility. The people who gave us the power, the people who discovered that we were capable and taught us to take responsibility, never told us that the ability to solve problems and the ability to take responsibility are not the same thing at all. Petero, was overwhelmed by his responsibility. ”

"But in order to resurrect him, it has caused a greater disaster, and you and I are the culprits, and we have to bear the responsibility that we can't bear at all." Wanda said that she was a little emotional, and her eyes were a little red.

"I believe you're right, you can't go to hell to retrieve one's soul lightly, lest it get into trouble that we can't solve. In the same way, I want to know my own power and learn to control my power, otherwise I may be in trouble myself. ”

"If you could go with me......"

Before Wanda could finish speaking, Belle interrupted her, "I don't need a mentor, I don't need someone to spy on me, but like you said, I need friends." ”

"You and your little spider friend seem to get along well." Wanda said.

"If you are interested, I can introduce you to you." Belle replied.

"I heard you've been dealing with some minor troubles lately, maybe you need help from a new friend?"

"I thought the Avengers were too busy to worry about these things."

Wanda smiled and said, "There are also inexperienced rookies in the Avengers who need to be trained. ”

……

Although there were some twists and turns at first, Belle and Wanda's second meeting took place in a cordial and friendly atmosphere. They didn't talk much about Belle's abilities, as she didn't know what the nature of her abilities was.

However, they agreed to investigate alien weapons together. This was actually purely out of Belle's selfishness, because she was afraid.

As she said to Wanda, hell is real. Hell is not the only place where the devil is rampant because of the flames of hell everywhere and there is no need to worry about energy at all. There are many horror areas that we have never thought of, and even novels and movies are unable to depict, but they really exist in the shadows of this world, and there is a tendency to gradually spread into the sun recently.

Squeezing the subway and taking the bus to shuttle between rental houses and office buildings, we have never seen the flames of war and the smoke of gunpowder, and it is hell there. We who have enough food and clothing, and can often make up for some indescribable things in our brains, cannot imagine killing for survival, killing for pleasure, killing for justice, or even killing for the sake of killing, these are hell for us.

For Belle, who used to be an otaku but now has crossed into Bai Fumei, a crime syndicate trading scene full of sentry posts and traps, and each enemy is armed with alien high-tech weapons, is a complete hell. No matter how glamorous she usually is, whether she has superpowers or not, she is an ordinary person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. If an accident strikes and she has to be separated from Peter, she will be left alone in the dark to face an enemy bent on killing her, and she will surely fall into uncontrollable fear. Fear dispels reason and causes confusion, and the confusion of a superpowered person with unknown abilities is bound to lead to disaster.

Therefore, it is the wisest choice to go with Wanda.

It just so happened that nothing happened in the afternoon, and Belle took Wanda directly to the school to meet Peter.

Campus life is a novelty for Wanda than the Avengers headquarters. There are no high-tech, secret agents, superheroes and countless secrets, but there is a high-end and atmospheric daily life that only seems to be in the drunken stage, and the joys and sorrows of young people who think they are unique, but in fact are no different from square dancing aunts.

Wanda loves these. While waiting for Peter, she and Belle sat in on a lesson on European art history and bought a mug with the Columbia logo on it in the school store. The cup was later "accidentally" broken by Tony Stark, and as compensation, he gave Wanda an MIT cup. In Tony's words, the quality is 10,000 times better than Columbia's cup.

Not surprisingly, when Peter meets Wanda, he thinks of her as a rescuer sent by Iron Man. He first expressed very excitedly how much he wanted to join the Avengers, and then swore to all the gods he could think of that he would definitely be able to handle the alien weapon incident and would not disappoint Mr. Stark.

Wanda whispered to Belle, "This guy seems to be a baby." Then the two giggled together for a moment, and Peter was confused and didn't understand which play it was.

I have to say that Wanda and Belle's abilities can be said to complement each other, and the telepathy of the two people is enough to build a small local area network, so that the three of them can communicate at will without talking, just with their thoughts. The three of them wandered around and evaluated the results of Peter's visit to the warehouse last night. It's just that the process is a bit painful, and Peter's mind is more nimble than his hands, and he speaks with his brain at least four times faster than with his mouth. For a moment, the minds of all three people were filled with his buzzing sound, until Wanda couldn't take it anymore and kicked him out of the neural connection.

The last stop before the three of them set off for the warehouse was a nail salon. Belle suggested that she want to try the effect of applying black nail polish to her hands. Since this activity was not very suitable for Peter, and he was kicked out of his nerve and unable to participate in the discussion (which is not good to talk about in front of others), he made an excuse that he had not eaten enough for dinner, and left first, saying that he would meet the two of them near the warehouse.

Peter's favorite sandwich is just six blocks from his house. As if there was enough time, he turned around and went into a small alley next to him, took off his coat, revealing the Spider-Man suit he had been wearing inside, and began to fly down the wall to Queens.

You're right, the normal way of thinking should be to take the subway. However, he is Spider-Man and does not take the subway, on the one hand, he thinks that this dress is too cool, and it is not enough to show off, and on the other hand, he may want to save some money.

But he was lucky, just as he landed on the roof of a building, his keen senses helped him detect something unusual, and several people were experimenting with some kind of device on another roof not far away, which looked very similar to the pile of alien weapons!

Peter hurried over quietly, close enough for him to hear their conversation, but still secure himself from being discovered.

"Shouldn't we try this thing somewhere with fewer people?" One man said he kicked twice at an antenna-like device that had been installed, for fear his accomplice wouldn't know he was talking about the only thing they had brought to test it.

The other person may be more knowledgeable, and it is likely that he is still the leader of several people, he scolded and spat and said: "Are you stupid, this thing has to test whether it can connect to the satellite, don't find a high place, do you go to your toilet to try?" ”

He cursed a few more words, and then the group of people went about their work. The machine lit up a few times, burst out a large spark, and then actually burned. A few people hurriedly extinguished the fire, cleaned up the wreckage, and went downstairs to get into the car.

Peter was under the car, and when he heard the voice that had just taken the lead in scolding, he said, "Go back and report to the boss."

"I've had a lot of luck today." Peter thought to himself.
