Half an hour passed.

Melinda takes Chris to a S.H.I.E.L.D. branch near Times Square in New York, and after swiping her face in front of a monitor next to the gate, the door opens automatically.

Melinda led a few people inside, and said as she went, "Simmons, take Skye to the infirmary to bandage the wounds." ”

"Yes, sir." Jenma Simmons nodded.

Skye suddenly asked, "What about Chris?" He goes there! ”

"Chris has other things to do." Melinda glanced at Skye and replied coldly.

"No..."

Before Skye could finish speaking, Chris walked over and patted Skye on the shoulder and said, "Skye, you go to the infirmary to bandage the wound first, and I'll come when I go." ”

Skye glanced at Chris, and then at the cold Melinda, knowing that Chris came here, probably to talk to the head of Agent May's department, thinking that now that Chris has recovered his ability, he should not have to worry about being caught and dissolved, so he pouted and nodded slightly: "Then I'll wait for you in the infirmary." ”

"Well, go ahead."

Chris watched Jenma Simmons walk away with Skye, then looked back at Melinda and said, "May, let's go." ”

Melinda nodded, turned around and led Chris to the elevator not far away.

Leofiz, who was left behind, didn't follow, didn't go, so he had to open his mouth and ask, "Sir May, where am I going?" ”

"Either stay here or go to the infirmary."

Melinda didn't look back, but said from afar.

Looking at Melinda and Chris, who were gradually moving away and disappearing into the elevator, Leofiz raised his arm, slowly lowered it, and finally stomped his foot and turned to walk in the direction of the infirmary.

...

The elevator was very fast, and after more than ten seconds, it came to the top floor of this building.

The elevator door opened, and Melinda stepped out first, watching it disappear from view, and Chris hesitated for a few seconds before following.

The two turned a corner and came to a door, Melinda did not knock on the door, but pushed the door directly, apparently having already received the director's order.

Melinda said, "Sir." ”

"Mei, you go out first."

"Yes."

Melinda turned around and closed the door and went out.

Seeing Nick Fury sitting on a chair in front of the window with his back to him, Chris couldn't help but complain in his heart, it seems that this Nick Fury is like in the movie, he likes to be cool in front of people.

Nick Fury sat there quietly for a few seconds, then finally stood up, turned to look at Chris, and said in a questioning tone, "Should I call you Chris Coe, or should I call you a guest from another world?" ”

"Whatever you want, as long as you like."

Chris spread his hands and said that he didn't really care what the other person called him.

Nick Fury walked back to his desk and waved his hand, "Sit." ”

Chris didn't say anything polite to him, and sat down on the chair across from the desk.

The two just looked at each other.

A few minutes passed, Nick Fury ran out of patience, he didn't come to play 123 Wood with Chris, he hadn't solved the incident caused by Tony Stark, and he didn't wait for me, so he opened his mouth first and said: "I checked all the known archives and civic information around the world, and I couldn't find your mission information at all, and the first videos and pictures about you were in Chinatown in Manhattan." ”

Chris pouted, "Didn't you just say that?" I'm a guest from another world. ”

Nick Fury's only remaining eye stared at Chris: "Okay, let's just say you're from another universe, then what do you want to do in our world?" ”

Chris spread his hands again: "I think... The agent named Coulson, I must have reported to you, I have told him everything about how I came to this universe. ”

"You think I'll believe your nonsense? Believe you're from another universe? I believe you still fought with the will of the earth? Sealed the will of the earth that wants to destroy the world? ”

Chris smiled, spread his hands and said, "This is the truth! ”

Nick Fury looked at Chris's immature face, and he couldn't see any signs of Chris's lying, but that didn't mean that the other party didn't know a little bit about micro-expressions.

Thinking of this, Nick said, "You told Coulson before that the enemy who wants to destroy your world is the will of the earth, and you call the Great Serpent...'man'?" ”

Chris thought for a while, sorted out the language and said: "To be precise, the big snake is not a 'human', it is the self-consciousness born from the earth, simply put, the big snake is the earth, as long as the earth is not destroyed, then the big snake will never die." That's why we can only seal it, not kill it. If the Great Snake is killed, then the earth will have no consciousness, and it is very likely that it will fall into chaos, and the ensuing volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, continental plate movements, and finally the explosion of the planet are all possible things. ”

"Self-consciousness of the birth of the earth!"

Nick Fury heard this, pondered for a long time, and at the end, he raised his head and stared at Chris with slanted eyes and said solemnly: "I don't care where you come from, whether you are an alien from outer space, or as you said, from another universe, since you have come to Earth, you better be honest, because we will always keep an eye on you." ”

"Uh-huh... Finished? Chris blinked.

"I have other things to deal with, the task of supervising you is still left to Mei, I think you get along well with her." Nick Fury didn't say anything more, but stood up and whispered a few words into the invisible headphones hidden in his ear, before seeing Melinda push the door and walk in.

Chris saw that Nick Fury wanted to send him off, and turned around and walked out the door, not knowing what the hell the hell the other party was up to, but in any case, it was better to leave the secret service first than to stay here.

"Chris."

Suddenly, Nick Fury shouted from behind him.

Chris looked back.

"Remember, I'll keep an eye on you."

Nick Fury stared at Chris's immature face as if to see him through.

You only have one eye left, and you're still staring at people, aren't you afraid of squinting?

Chris complained in his heart, ignored Nick Fury, turned around and walked towards the door, Melinda watched Chris go out, nodded to the director, closed the door and followed.

...

After the two of them left,

Agent Hill walked in with a tablet and said to Nick Fury, "Sir, Agent May just sent me a video of the expo site. ”

"Well, pull it out and see." Nick Fury Road.

"Yes."

Hill manipulated the tablet a few times, only to see the TV in the room turn on instantly, and a pinhole camera shot by Melinda hanging on her chest appeared on the TV.

"Black-purple flames..."

Nick Fury watched Chris casually summon an egg-sized flame in the video, and quickly expanded and fermented in the air, devouring and melting the Iron Soldier in an instant, and secretly feared in his heart, which instantly melted the Iron Soldier to the ground, which had completely exceeded his previous imagination.

Agent Hill looked at Chris's black-purple flame in the video, her brows furrowed tightly, she was also worried about Chris's ability, lowered her head and operated on the tablet a few times and said: "Sir, I checked the information, and the currently known flames that emit purple colors have a temperature of more than 7,000 degrees, and this black-purple flame is obviously far more than this temperature." ”

Nick Fury's eyebrows tightened even more when he heard that the temperature of the fire ability released by Chris exceeded 7,000 degrees, knowing that at present, except for vibranium, as long as the temperature reaches more than 6,000 degrees, it can melt all substances known to humans.

Chris, who doesn't know if he's an alien or really from another universe, was amazed by the abilities he displayed at the Stark Expo.

You must know that this is only part of the ability that Chris has shown, according to the story he told Coulson before, he also has a so-called artifact, since it can be named an artifact, it must have its transcendence.

Thinking of this, Nick Fury fell into a deep state of worry, since Captain Marvel left Earth and went to outer space, Earth has no supernatural power to match.

The appearance of the Hulk a few years ago gave Nick Fury a glimmer of hope, and the Iron Man not long ago made it possible for him to implement the Super Boy Tiantuan plan conceived more than ten years ago.

This time, in the face of the mysterious and unintelligible Chris, Nick Fury has another idea in his heart besides building a superboy group.

Thinking of this, Nick Fury quickly stood up, took out a key from a drawer next to his desk, turned around and walked out, saying as he went, "Hill will come with me to Washington, D.C., and by the way, you can inform Agent May and let her keep an eye on him." ”

"Yes."

Hill followed with two long legs.

...

The next day at noon.

Washington, S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.

"Sir, I have summoned professors from New York University, Harvard University, and other institutions of higher learning, as well as experts who specialize in these disciplines or mythology.

After discussion, those historians, mythologists of various systems, and scientists who study celestial bodies and earthly materials jointly put forward a hypothesis, that the earth, like us humans, is a truly living life, with a complete and complex respiratory and digestive system, that rivers, lakes and seas are its blood, that the atmospheric cycle is its breathing cycle, and that wind, rain, thunder, lightning, earthquakes, and volcanoes are its joys, sorrows, and sorrows. ”

Nick Fury looked at his agents and asked, "So is Earth self-aware?" ”

The agent replied, "That's what I asked them about that, too." What they said was more complicated, and I have recorded all the specific conversations. ”

Nick Fury glanced at the file that the agent had just handed over, opened the file and glanced at it a few times, and said, "You tell me a little about it." ”

In layman's terms, they believe that the earth is highly likely to have an independent sense of self. Many years ago, scientists put forward hypotheses and theories about earth consciousness, which was called Gaia consciousness at the time. This hypothesis and theory was proposed more than 30 years ago, in 1972, by a British ecologist, James Lovelock. At that time, this ecologist named Lovelock published a theory called the "Gaia Hypothesis", which caused a great sensation at the time, and there are still many experts studying the "Gaia Hypothesis" theory.

But after all these years, no evidence of the existence or discovery of Gaia's consciousness has been found.

According to this "Gaia Hypothesis" and the experts I contacted, they all agreed that the so-called Gaia consciousness should be a super complex consciousness composed of all things on the earth, and the only purpose of this consciousness is to evolve, as for how to evolve and to what extent, no one has put forward corresponding theories or hypotheses about this. ”

Speaking of which, it occurred to the agent that he had heard an interesting statement: "By the way, sir, there was an interesting hypothesis from an ancient Greek mythologist at the time. ”

"What is it?"

He said that if the earth really has an independent sense of self, then when the earth encounters an external threat, it will use its own strength to unite with everything on the earth to resist the threat. At the same time, when the earth faces an inherent threat, it will eliminate the inherent threat by influencing the forces of nature and re-develop it. ”

"Eliminate the threat within?!"

When Nick Fury heard the word, he suddenly thought of the story of their world that Chris had said.

The agent thought that the director was asking him about the meaning of this sentence, and after thinking for a moment, he found a myth and explained: "The meaning of this sentence should be similar to the great flood recorded in the first book of the Bible, "Genesis"; Seeing that the world was full of corruption, violence, and lawlessness, God planned to use a monstrous flood to destroy those wicked and restore the world to a better place. ”

"Jingle bell..."

Nick Fury, who was pondering, suddenly heard his mobile phone ringing, took it out and saw that it was the phone that Coulson had brought.

The agent who was standing in front of him to report on his work turned away with great interest.

After the others closed the door and went out, Nick Fury pressed the connect button, only to hear Coulson on the other end of the phone say, "Sir, I think I found the thing that fell from the sky." ”
