Louis Williams, Secretary of Energy. Now that it is an eventful season, there is no immediate crisis in the energy front, and he is naturally not very taken seriously in front of the president.

However, just because the president doesn't value him doesn't mean that others don't value him. In fact, Secretary Williams is a well-connected member of Congress, a prominent figure in the energy sector, and even in energy-related academia. It can even be said that if the Stark family, which developed the incomparable Ark reactor, would probably be Louis Williams the most outstanding contributor to the energy field in the world today.

The reason is simple, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s plan to free humanity from the energy crisis once and for all through the Cosmic Cube is based on his theoretical research. It's a pity that Louis Williams, who was in the middle of the academic world back then, suddenly dropped out of school to join politics, Loki suddenly jumped out to disrupt the situation and snatched the Cosmic Cube, and Minister Williams and S.H.I.E.L.D. missed the opportunity to change the course of human history at the same time.

And the culprit of this tragic consequence, in addition to Loki, who guided the Chitari army to invade Earth, seems to be the two people who practiced the occult and overturned Williams's outlook on life with the results of practice, namely Belle's parents, the descendant of the declining aristocracy who was ignored in France, Nicolas de Tefleur-Pique, and Yu Pu, a doctor of theoretical physics from China who had been engaged in string theory research until his death.

After Secretary Williams said that he and Belle's parents were in a "pen pal relationship", no one in the group was concerned about eating anymore. Regarding Belle's life experience, S.H.I.E.L.D. has been investigating for so long and has not found any decent results, and Belle herself can't say anything, so she didn't expect to find a clue here.

"No one ever asked me."

Faced with the questioning of a group of people represented by Tony Stark, Minister Williams said helplessly.

In fact, the so-called pen pals are not correspondence. S.H.I.E.L.D.'s investigation is meticulous, and neither e-mail nor the post office's records of letters sent and received escapes their eyes. Unexpectedly, the correspondence between Minister Williams and Belle's parents was actually through the annotation of a library book, and the book was finally bought by Williams and brought back to his home.

In Secretary Williams's astonishing study, they saw the book, "Three Mysteries," which was out of step with the tone of the room.

"I said, Mr. Minister, why don't you just take a set of "100,000 Whys" out?" Belle, the only one who understands Chinese culture, held her forehead with her hand and endured it without scolding.

The so-called Sanxuan is actually the general name of the three books "Laozi", "Zhuangzi" and "Zhou Yi". Directly use Sanxuan as the title of the book, and then pinch Lao Zhuang Zhou together to publish a book, which is equivalent to "The Four Famous Hardcover Novels", "The Complete Works of Shakespeare's Plays", "Lao Wang Teaches You to Read Four Books" and the like to make a gilded cover and then sell it to the nouveau riche to put it at home as a façade. Of course, in the stalls of the rural bazaars, it is also possible to see similar books in a battered posture, along with forged copper coins and ceramic busts of Stalin, on a tattered red cloth spread on the ground, and next to an old man who has also practiced the vicissitudes of life.

"This was the book your parents valued the most, so why don't you read it?" Williams said, handing the book to Belle.

Belle didn't want to see it, she didn't believe in it.

Judging from Secretary Williams's book collection, it is difficult to understand that such a person would believe in the occult and in metaphysics when he has read so much that he has read everything from the General History of the World to the Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy, from the Ideal State to Mein Kampf, from the Feynman Lectures on Physics to the latest issue of Nature.

Williams found out that Belle hadn't opened the book and guessed that she didn't like this kind of stuff. So in front of Belle, he quickly flipped through the "Three Secrets" in his hand from beginning to end, and showed her a large pile of notes sandwiched inside, on which three different handwriting could be clearly seen, which should be from Belle's parents and Minister Williams himself.

"Your parents, perhaps the most accomplished occult researchers in the world at the time, stumbled upon the note they left in the book in the library, and I wrote a reply to it out of sheer boredom, and in this way I had a long debate with your parents."

"And then?" Belle asked, "Did they convince you to believe in the occult through such debates?" Are they predicting your future? Or did you guess your mind through mind reading? ”

Tony apparently felt that it was the debates in the book that made a brilliant scientist give up academics, and if that was the case, then the contents of the book should not be shown to Belle casually, and it would not be good to teach children badly. So he snatched the book from Williams' hand and said, "Who can anyone show this to a young girl?" I really don't know how you managed to catch up with such a beautiful wife back then. But I do think it's an interesting book. ”

Minister Williams pursed his lips and said, "It wasn't your parents' words that convinced me, but what they did, and what they accomplished, that is, you." ”

"What do you mean?" Belle said confusedly.

"In order to convince me completely, they invited me to visit a ceremony, and I didn't know what I was thinking at the time, but I really agreed. Then, I saw something that completely changed my outlook on life, your parents used a stone from nowhere, combined with their own blood, to perform some kind of mysterious ritual, and that night, your mother became pregnant and gave birth to you the next morning. They call you the miracle of God. ”

……

Tony still didn't let Belle read the book, but locked it up and sent it back to the Avengers headquarters in person, where S.H.I.E.L.D. made a copy for research, and then gave the original to the person in his heart who was best at studying mysterious events, Doctor Strange.

As Captain America and Harpy drink and chat in the bar on the first floor of the hotel, Harpy ignores the fact that he is also a bachelor and is teaching the captain the skills of being a girl.

"You've got to take the initiative, Captain, look at you," Harpy looked up and down exaggeratedly, "you're just too serious, but if you have the slightest bit of my boss's energy, the girls of the world will revolve around you." Of course, sincerity is the most important thing, and Agent Carter is not the same as the cover girl of Playboy, isn't it? ”

They were chatting downstairs, and in the upstairs suite, Pepper, Sharon, Belle, and Peter were playing cards together.

"I just think it's funny," Belle complained as she drew a card, "and if my parents were alive and the family was happy, I wouldn't seem embarrassed to tell anyone that I could be an Avenger." ”

"I can't argue with it," Peter was also drawing cards, but he tried to keep his attention on the cards in his hand, otherwise with his super keen vision, he could see the cards in the other three's hands from the reflection of other people's eyes, "The captain's parents are definitely gone." And then I, you, Wanda, Mr. Stark, it's all about the same. As for the others, I haven't seen much of them. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm looking forward to a happy family life in the future." Pepper said.

"Do you remember the last time Tony's house was blown up by a missile?" Sharon made up for it next to him, "Happiness or not, it's hard to say, but it's definitely very exciting." ”

"At least Tony won't be in a relationship with my aunt." Pepper said.

But he was with countless people...... You know. Sharon said, glancing at Pepper, and the two of them laughed together.

It wasn't until the middle of the night that they went back to their rooms to sleep. At least before leaving, Pepper and Sharon felt that Belle didn't seem to be too affected.

"This kid is not quite what you say." Sharon whispered to Pepper.

"No, no, no, look at this picture, really." Pepper pulls out her phone and finds a secretly taken photo of Belle and Vanessa getting drunk together that night.

Belle wasn't as bad as Pepper thought, but she was thankful that the two of them had spent the night with her, so that she wouldn't be cranky.

But she certainly wasn't much better. Although as a traverser, it is possible to cross into anything, men, women, pet cats, lizards, cockroaches, dog tail grass, beer, drinks, mineral water, peanuts, melon seeds, crunchy sausages, anything is possible. But it's still hard to get her to accept that she's probably not a regular human.

She looked quite like a person, in every way, and the only problem was that no one was born in just one day.

"Am I really the evil god that those two madmen summoned through evil rituals?" She sat on the rooftop and couldn't help but muttering to herself.

The rooftop is a great place to be, especially for unthinkers.

Considering the name of the goddess of revenge, the word evil god is well deserved, at least Loki can't afford to earn it with her.

"First of all, it's not good to call your parents 'those two crazy people', the captain will educate you when he listens." Peter climbed up from the outer wall of the building, "Second, if you are an evil god, why did you save me in the first place?" It can't be because of those two clothes, right? ”

"What are you doing here?" Belle didn't appreciate it very much.

He walked over to Belle and sat down, casually firing a few cobwebs into the side.

"There are many mosquitoes at night in summer, and staying near spiders can effectively prevent mosquito bites, which is much more effective than any toilet water mosquito repellent bracelet or the like."

The two sat together quietly and awkwardly for ten minutes, and Peter couldn't help but speak first.

"I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but I did hear Agent Carter whispering to Miss Potts, saying you were crying that night."

"Eavesdropping if they didn't mean took," Belle said quietly, "Besides, how do I know what night they're talking about?" Is it the day you watch the movie and see Gwen Stacy die, or the day you watch "Tsunami Miracle" and see Lucas survive in the end? ”

"I guess it was the day I found out that the zombies came to the door, right?" Peter said, "The captain told me something about Wade Wilson, and honestly, I don't really like him. ”

"He doesn't have to be liked by you, just Vanessa's one. They're a weird couple. ”

"It's really weird that someone like that can still find a girlfriend, I thought he would be lonely to death. Alas," said Peter, with a sigh, "what do I have to say about him, I myself am still single, and I am not as good as him." ”

"It's good that you stay single, if you find a female spider, I won't eat you."

"Then I wish you good teeth and a good appetite. It's a pity that the name Black Widow already has a master, otherwise you would still be able to use it. ”

"Let's talk about this when you grow taller than me."

……

On the other side, Tony Stark personally delivered the book to the Avengers headquarters, and before he could return to Washington, he received a call from Dr. Eric Sylvig.

"Tony, you can't believe it, you brought that book, you can't make a copy!"
