CHAPTER XV. VII

After a day of tossing, Belle was really tired.

From the moment she got into Harpy's car, she felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and somehow she felt particularly irritable. So she pretended to be motion sickness, and didn't pay much attention to Peter along the way. Peter lived up to expectations, really believed that she was motion sickness, and casually said a few perfunctory sentences of "drink more hot water" and continued his general trip to Beijing.

"It's in the car, where can you let me find hot water?"

Belle held this sentence in her stomach, and she really didn't have the strength to argue with him. But fortunately I didn't say it, otherwise I would have been slapped in the face. Because Harpy is very considerate, he really has hot water in his car!

As the car approached the Avengers headquarters, she felt more and more uncomfortable. The air conditioner was clearly on in the car, but she felt that the heat was unbearable, like walking into a slum sauna in Mumbai on a hot summer day.

While helping Peter take a picture of him and Captain America, Belle feels like she's about to throw up. She endured it for a long time, and she really threw up in the middle.

It's finally time to rest. She fell asleep in a daze, and had a dream in which a voice kept repeating "go get it back, go get it back, go get it back".

It sounds a little cautious, but it's actually quite charming, because it's her own voice.

Even in her dreams, Belle was quite awake, and she even said a rare dream talk: "Yes, it's this voice that makes me upset, dizzy and nauseous all day today." Hey, it seems that this symptom can be used as an excuse not to join the Avengers. No, what's going on? Really? I haven't ...... yet Yes! ”

The thought frightened her woke up screaming and gasping for air.

Belle's room was next door to Wanda, across from Peter, diagonally across from Vision. Peter's sleep quality was quite high, and the high-decibel, penetrating scream had no effect on him. Wanda seemed to hear something, but wasn't sure, so she didn't respond immediately.

And with visual illusions, there is no need to sleep. He walked straight through the wall, just in time to see Belle nervously clutching her lower abdomen, and kept muttering, "Impossible, impossible, I didn't do anything." ”

The moment the vision appeared, Belle suddenly understood what it meant to get "it" back. She stared at Vision's forehead, the Mind Jewel, and couldn't take her eyes off it at all.

"Miss de Tafowl-Pique, are you alright?" Vision said with concern.

In addition to not needing to sleep, Vision also has the characteristic that he doesn't need to open the door. So Wanda, who was a little bit late, rushed over, and when she forced her way in, she saw Belle floating in the air, with a concerned vision on her face, and Belle staring at him directly, but with a miserable and frightened face.

"Ho," Wanda chuckled, "I know you wouldn't do anything weird, but it looks really weird. Little Fantasy, you really need to learn how to use the door. ”

"I heard Miss de Tauffle-Pique screaming and thought she was in danger." Vision said sincerely.

Wanda shook her head with a wry smile, she walked over and gently hugged Belle and patted her on the back.

"It's okay, it's okay, there's definitely no danger here."

She apparently mistakenly thought that Belle was having a nightmare because she was scared of what happened that night in the Hydra Mansion. She felt empathetic, and only she could help Belle get free.

"Little Phantom, just leave it to me here."

"Okay. I sincerely apologize if I am offended. Vision wanted to go through the wall again, but he stopped just in time, then walked the door, closing it gently. By the way, I explained to the security personnel who rushed to hear the news.

After confirming that Vision was gone, Belle felt a little more relaxed and made a decision immediately.

"Wanda, I can't stay here."

……

Belle chatted with Wanda for a while, and said that she did have a nightmare, and then said that she was fine, and persuaded Wanda to go back.

She figured out a question, she seemed to crave the Infinity Stones, but at the same time, fiercely resisted them. On the way to the new headquarters today, it was precisely because she was getting closer and closer to the Mind Gem that she had a particularly serious physical discomfort reaction, which was to remind her that she should not come here. At the very least, she shouldn't have had too much contact with the Infinity Stones until she was able to master her abilities perfectly.

She raised her hand, as if stroking the air, thinking about how she had opened the portal when she went to save Peter. She wanted to go home.

Apparently, she did not succeed, and the next morning, she was still in her room, and in more pain than last night. Because Doctor Strange is busy with the business at hand, he arrives at the Avengers headquarters, and takes his Eye of Agamotto with him.

Vision spotted him as soon as possible, and stopped him as fast as he could.

Vision glanced at the Eye of Agamotto and said, "You shouldn't have brought it here." ”

"What does it matter?" The doctor asked rhetorically, "There's already something bigger here anyway, isn't it?" ”

"But the two of us are here at the same time, and that 'greater thing' is more affected and may lead to the death of Mademoiselle de Tauffle-Pique."

"Isn't that great? It shows that the French beauty is dutifully fulfilling her mission, and she can be relieved. Besides," Doctor Strange shrugged, "you don't know what that 'more awesome' thing is. ”

……

Information that has never been electronic, digitized, of course, does not know. Doctor Strange himself is ignorant of this. Ever since seeing Belle's failed display of abilities at the Avengers Mansion that day, combined with his previous disruption of time, rescuing Spider-Man, and what Vision had to say about her from Captain America, the Doctor had a bold idea in his mind.

He looked through the books left by the Supreme Mages and searched through all the notes in the library, but still couldn't find anything he was looking for. Just when he was at a loss, he realized that even the lineage of the Supreme Master had limitations in time and space. If he wanted to know something older than the first generation of Supreme Mages, and bigger than the wizarding world, he would have to seek advice from someone who had lived long enough and had a broad enough vision, or a god.

Doctor Strange went on a trip to Norway.

"My life has been long and rich, I have traveled through the Nine Kingdoms, and I have seen and heard more than all the gods of Asgard. However, this is not enough, far from it. The World Tree, which I regard as a miracle, is only a very small part, and the beings higher than me control Asgard's fate like a playful play. To be born as a god is both a glory and a responsibility. In search of a way to save Asgard, I gave one of my own eyes in exchange for valuable knowledge from the Well of Wisdom. ”

"Will this knowledge help you save Asgard?" Doctor Strange asked.

"Of course not, knowledge is not power, knowing how to use knowledge is power. What I learned from the Well of Wisdom was knowledge that I could not use, or even understand. Sometimes, I wish I didn't know that. The more you know, the more you feel small, and the more you learn, the more you feel incompetent. Then, if one day, you find that you have an unbreakable connection with something 'incredible', or even a responsibility that you may not be able to bear at all, it is better not to know. ”

Doctor Strange didn't quite understand, "What do you mean for me not to ask any more?" Or do I not tell people I shouldn't know what I know? ”

"The court of life does not make stupid decisions. Whether you ask or not, whether you say it or not, it won't affect you too much. All you can do is to let the poor child learn to accept his fate as soon as possible, and then complete his mission at the lowest cost. ”

"What is the mission? What do we do? ”

"Nemesis cannot be resurrected, Infinity Stones cannot be gathered, and before the Catastrophe, she cannot die. I don't know more. ”

……

After separating from Vision, Doctor Strange did not go to see Belle, but instead found Captain America and Iron Man.

"So you mean, let's not treat her as a member of the Avengers for a while?" Captain America asked.

Doctor Strange shook his head and said, "Not just the Avengers, it's best not to involve her in any of your activities." Before she can control her own abilities, living as an ordinary person is her greatest contribution to this world. ”

Tony Stark couldn't stand being kept in the dark, "With all that said, have you ever figured out what the hell is going on with Belle?" ”

"Not really." Doctor Strange said with an unchanged face, almost half dead Tony, "This matter is beyond the scope of my knowledge, and it is beyond the understanding of the rules of the universe by beings higher than me. I can only guess that there are not only six Infinity Stones, and Belle's ability and mission is to ensure that all of them will never be separated. ”

……

As a person who is familiar with the Marvel setting, Belle has guessed that she is the owner of the seventh Infinity Stone, the self gem, and this body is also part of the Nemesis, so she can use a little bit of the ability to interfere with time, space, reality, mind, and power. As for the soul, heh, to get a fragile otaku soul to dominate such an exaggerated power, this gem is really, not to mention.

The Infinity Stones are part of Nemesis, and it's understandable that Belle's subconscious wants to take the Mind Gem from Vision's forehead. And she currently has extreme physical discomfort as long as she is close to the Infinity Stones, and if the Infinity Stones gather in front of her, the Nemesis should be resurrected, and she can rest assured.

"Am I influencing what's happening in this universe? Or did something happen that created me? ”

Belle was puzzled. However, fortunately, after nineteen years, she finally made a little progress, and she took the most crucial step on the road of exploring the truth of her own ability.

……

Due to Doctor Strange's urging not to let Belle join any action of the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. for the time being, Iron Man and Captain America didn't say anything more, and really sent Belle home.

When leaving the Avengers base, Tony Stark took out a beautiful diamond ring that Spider-Man would never be able to afford under normal circumstances in front of Peter, who came to see him off, and gave it to Belle.

"What's going on?" Peter was on the verge of a breakdown.

"Captain America says that I monitor the whereabouts of an ordinary American citizen for no reason is an interference with personal freedom and an infringement of other people's privacy," Tony said with a big grin, "but no lady would refuse a high-end diamond ring, even if she knew that there was a tracking surveillance device inside, she would not hesitate to accept it, right?" ”

"Then you don't have to make such an exaggeration!" Peter said in despair.

"It's all right, boy, don't worry," Tony patted Peter on the shoulder, "If you don't feel good, even if you give this ring, I'll have the bill sent to you later." ”

Peter immediately relented, "Mr. Stark, I'll use my Spider-Man suit to get that ring, do you think?" ”

"Have you forgotten? I made that suit, too, and it's much more expensive than the ring. ”
