Chapter 466: Talking Therapy, Secret Invasion
The building of the Divan Group is the most conspicuous landmark building in the Void of Ignorance.
Standing on the observation deck on the top floor, you can look down on the entire area and see everything in full view.
Luke Shi Ran sat on the sofa and poured a botanical drink for Captain Marvel, who had a complicated expression and had not yet fully digested those memories.
"You may not be able to accept the truth for a while, and that's normal."
Like a young psychiatrist, he began to give Carol word therapy.
"The human body has some kind of emergency mechanism that automatically activates once the spirit is strongly stimulated. Sometimes the reluctance to believe in the truth is also one of the measures of protection. β
Captain Marvel was secretly controlled by the supreme intelligence of the Kree Empire, using efficient brainwashing methods.
However, Luke used the psychic abilities of the super Kryptonians to awaken the memories of the past that lurked in the depths of Carol's mind.
However, because she has been indoctrinated for a long time with the idea that the interests of the Cree Empire are above all else, she is always ready to sacrifice for it.
It is equivalent to an operation that has undergone a mental transformation, and has already become the shape of supreme wisdom, and it is impossible to return to its original state immediately.
It takes a while for psychological rehabilitation.
"I know my real name and I know what happened, but ...... When you get out of that well-made up despicable lie, you still feel very uncomfortable when you see the real world. β
Captain Marvel picked up the botanical drink and took a sip.
The taste is bitter, but refreshing.
"Once you've been deceived, it's hard to trust anyone else."
Luke said slowly, and continued: "In the same way, the reason why you subconsciously suspect that everything in front of you may be false. β
"It's because of Yong Rogge, and the supreme wisdom that has caused you great psychological trauma and psychological shadows."
Carol nodded in agreement.
As long as she thinks of the Yong-Rog she respects in her heart, he is actually a complete hypocritical villain.
I can't help but feel a little uncomfortable and nauseous.
"What are you going to do with them?"
Luke sensed this and took the initiative to divert the subject.
"Behind Yong-Rogge is the Kree Empire......"
Carroll reminded tactfully.
She's been on Hala for a long time.
He is well aware of the military strength of the Kree Empire.
"It doesn't matter, my men also severely repaired the accuser Ronan not long ago, compared to the consul of the Kree Empire, Yong-Rogge is just a nobody."
Luke waved his hand, his expression relaxed, obviously not taking the Kree Empire seriously.
Frankly, he would even like to see the Supreme Wisdom become angry and start a war.
In this way, it is out of the appeal of legitimate defense.
Superman can blow up the space fleet with his bare hands, single-handedly break into the planet Hala, and then dismantle the computer that integrates the Kree's highest intelligence.
Theoretically, of course.
Luke doesn't need any reason to do things.
But he cares a lot about his reputation and doesn't want to become the next crazy Titan, Sanos.
As long as everyone follows the rules, then sitting at the table and playing the game is not a big deal.
"Forget it, let's let them go."
Carroll still has concerns.
In her preconceived notion, the Kree Empire was extremely militarily powerful.
In order to take revenge on Yong-Rogge, it would be unwise to provoke such a behemoth.
"This is your private matter, and it is naturally up to you to decide."
Luke nodded in agreement, the word strong never had to be deliberately explained by himself.
Later, Carol will understand sooner or later.
What a terrifying existence a single-level individual is?
A mere Kree empire is nothing at all.
"What are you going to do next?"
Luke's eyes flickered, and he threw out new questions.
"I don't know. I only learned a few hours ago that I was from Earth, and that the mentor who trained me was actually an insidious liar...... The false life that the Supreme Wisdom has shaped for me has been denied, but my original life has also been ruined. β
Carol put down the plant drink in her hand, looked at Superman, bit her lip and asked, "Is there wine here?" β
Luke snapped his fingers, as if by magic, and reached for a bottle of Earth's whiskey.
"Authentic hometown flavor."
With a wave of his right hand, the wine cabinet opened automatically, and two wine glasses flew out.
"Can you have a drink with me?"
Carol was not in good spirits and was in dire need of alcohol.
"It's an honor."
Luke is a gentleman.

Earth.
S.H.I.E.L.D.
Paige stepped on her high heels and slammed open the door and walked into Howard Stark's office.
The loud noise alarmed the staff of the entire floor.
They glanced in the direction of Howard Stark's office for a few moments, then gathered their curiosity and lowered their heads to do their thing.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
She slammed the stack of papers on the table, and her tone was sharp, not giving the old friend she had known for many years any face.
"Why would two-thirds of the large amount of money that S.H.I.E.L.D. granted to your four laboratories disappear for no reason? It is not used for any research-related work, but is transferred to other accounts. β
Peggy was furious and asked.
When she saw the report, she could hardly believe her eyes.
The four labs under the direct supervision of Howard Stark have engaged in extremely egregious misappropriation of funds.
And after her detailed investigation, she found that not only that, but the funds that were embezzled ended up flowing into an overseas company without a name.
Digging deeper, the trading company, which was clearly just a front, had private money transactions and transfer records with many senators in Congress.
Following this line, Peggy even checked all the way to Stark Industries.
She found that Howard had recently spent a huge amount of money to buy more than two dozen small and medium-sized security companies with unknown industry names in one go, despite the strong opposition of the board of directors.
"In the name of S.H.I.E.L.D., you've paid off members of Congress to push for the expansion of overseas military bases, and you've sent researchers to conduct human experiments on disabled soldiers...... Howard, you're a crime! β
Peggy clasped her arms to her chest and glared at Howard Stark, who was sitting behind her desk.
After the other party returned from Wakanda, his behavior became a little strange.
Even though they look exactly the same, it feels like a different person.
"This is an agreement between me and the White House, and Mr. President needs Stark Industries to provide the military with more powerful 'weapons,' not missiles, not firearms, but living super-soldiers."
Howard said with a smile on his face.
"Illegal human experimentation, and the integration of those security companies into a military-industrial complex that is directly accountable to the Pentagon...... It's all from above. β
Peggy's pretty eyebrows furrowed, and the look in Howard's eyes was even more unfamiliar.
She couldn't imagine that the other party would say this in a natural tone.
"What does the upper class mean? I'm your boss! β
Peggy said coldly.
"Times have changed, Carter."
Howard stood up, propped his hands on his desk, and said softly: "The White House has long been dissatisfied with the excessive power and interference of S.H.I.E.L.D., and the World Security Council is unbearable, and the huge budget allocated every year. β
"There are no enemies in this world! Hydra has long since been under the rule of S.H.I.E.L.D., and the damn mutants, they're all in school, or on TV, on talent shows and variety shows. β
"World peace, the meaning of our shield's existence has been questioned."
Howard stared at the female commander standing in front of him and said lightly: "I have received some news that if S.H.I.E.L.D. continues to maintain an arrogant attitude and ignore the orders of the White House and the World Security Council, it will soon be announced to be disbanded." β
"That's why I secretly reached an agreement with Mr. President, and even made overtures to the Pentagon, in order to keep S.H.I.E.L.D. and consolidate its position."
Peggy struggled to be patient and listened to Howard's tirade.
She was silent for a moment, dropped the phrase "do it yourself", and turned to leave.
"Oh, naΓ―ve woman."
Howard ripped off his tie and scoffed.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but under his normal face, there is a faint oozing green.
