Chapter 58: Time stands still
"Mutants?"
Coulson stood guard next to the metal box, frowning slightly as he looked at the man who suddenly appeared in front of him to save him.
The rebel's guns rang out, but the bullets did not hit him, and the yellow bullet stood still in the air, like a fly bound in pine resin.
Such a bizarre method made Coulson immediately think of the leader of the Brotherhood named "Jimmy" mentioned in the file.
However, he soon denied this speculation himself, because it was not only the bullet that was stationary, but everything but him.
More than a dozen rebels gathered not far in front of him, and the expressions on their faces remained the same as the moment they were fired.
There was not the slightest wind in the stagnant air, and the dust drifting in the air no longer moved under the reflection of the sun.
All this made Coulson think of a possibility.
He jerked his head back, and sure enough, the numbers on the timer placed on the metal box were no longer jumping.
"I'm not a mutant, I'm a magician, you can call me king. ”
Coulson muttered a wordless stall, and the middle-aged Chinese man in a robe turned around and said his identity in a kind tone.
"Magician......
Coulson repeated the word he heard from the other person's mouth, and did not pay more attention to the meaning of what it represented, but looked at the other party warily and asked, "And what about your purpose, Mr. Wang?"
"Don't be nervous, Mr. Coulson!"
Wang Rousheng said soothingly, but it caused more vigilance from the agent opposite: "You seem to know me very well?"
"Not for you, it's for S.H.I.E.L.D.," Wang smiled and shook his head, explaining, "I'm from Kama Taj, a mage organization dedicated to protecting Earth from otherworldly invasions. ”
"For 'S.H.I.E.L.D.', a peer who also protects the safety of the planet, of course, you have to have some understanding. ”
"But we've never heard of such a group of strangely capable peers on Earth!"
Coulson felt the kindness that sounded in the king's words, but the suspicious nature of the agent made him quite scrutinized the words in his mouth.
"Kama Taj is not visible in the world, and she never participates in the trivial affairs of the world, so it is natural that she is not understood. ”
"Mr. Wang...... this time Another world?"
Coulson wanted to ask, but suddenly reacted, the earth has been "invaded" by another world, isn't it just the professional counterpart of this group of magicians?
"Yes, my purpose here is indeed related to visitors from the other world. ”
Seeing that the other party's face changed when he heard his promise, Wang continued to explain: "But you can rest assured, Mr. Coulson, I have come with friendship and goodwill, and have no intention of interfering in the diplomacy of the earth. ”
"Dormammu is about to peep, and Kama Taj can't spare more energy to deal with the 'Visitors from the Other World', so I'm just showing up to show my sincerity, and I hope that S.H.I.E.L.D. will open the door. ”
"Mr. Wang means ......."
Hearing the other party's explanation, Coulson slightly let go of the worry in his heart.
He was really afraid that the group of hidden mages were a group of "earth-rampers" who shouted and shouted to kill, and he did not weigh the pros and cons, and pushed any "visitors from other worlds" who came to the earth to the hostile side as "invaders".
Behind Vi represents a world far beyond Earth's technological level, and Ember is an otherworldly criminal that S.H.I.E.L.D. has exchanged for the right to dispose of Vi on the condition of "allowing Vi to guard Ivan by his side".
No matter which of these two is the forbidden side of S.H.I.E.L.D., no one else is allowed to touch it.
The king, of course, understood this, and made it clear that he had come directly: "In fact, it is not so much that I am here as a 'visitor from another world' as I am here for Evan Glazer. ”
"Ivan?"
"Yes," Wang nodded, and said, "Among the scientific and technological products developed by Evan, a lot of magical knowledge and principles from other worlds are integrated, and it is obvious that he is on a promising scientific research path. ”
"That's ...... so"
Thinking of the "displacement gear" like spatial teleportation, Coulson knew it.
"However, the magical knowledge of another world is another world after all, and if the technology of the earth really follows this path, it may be controlled by others in the end. ”
"Then Mr. Wang wants to ...... Teach Evan magic?"
The other party has talked to this extent, how could Coulson not know what he meant by "opening the door of convenience", and he didn't beat around the bush anymore and asked directly.
"It's not me, it's my disciple 'Zhang', and it's not teaching, it's just explaining to Evan about the magic knowledge of the earth and related principles. ”
"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, but I need to report this matter to our director before I can give you an answer. ”
In Coulson's judgment, Wang's proposal is a good thing to do harmlessly, not only to broaden Ivan's horizons, improve his scientific research skills, but also to connect with Kama Taj and add a helping hand.
Most importantly, it can show the Earth's muscles and heritage to the 'Visitors from Another World', and dispel some of her desperate thoughts.
However, while things are good, Coulson does not have the right to reply to the other party.
The only thing he can do is to report it to his director as it is, and to express his views and opinions on this matter impartially.
"Of course, I was going to meet Mr. Nick Fury, but ......"
"But you saw that I was in danger here, so I came to the rescue?"
"I have received your kindness, Mr. Wang, and I am sorry to delay you for so long. ”
Coulson smiled apologetically, but in the bottom of his heart he was like a mirror.
Presumably, the other party has been waiting for this opportunity to sell S.H.I.E.L.D. for a long time, but this also shows that this Mr. Wang is not a reckless person, and he did come to contact S.H.I.E.L.D. with good intentions.
"This is a new and special space that is parallel to the real world, and our time is in a state of stillness compared to the original world. ”
Noticing the unnatural tone of Coulson's tone when he mentioned the word "time", and the fact that the other party occasionally glanced at the stagnant numbers on the timer on his side out of the corner of his eye, Wang carefully explained to him the approximate cause of this phenomenon, with a slight imperceptible pride in his tone.
It was a spell he had researched himself, inspired by the "combination of technology and magic" mentioned by the Ancient One, as well as years of observation of the "Eyes of Agomoto".
Without the help of the "Eye of Agamotto", he can achieve the effect of an alternative stagnant time by relying on his own spells alone, and Rao is in a state of mind like a king stopping water, and some feelings of pride and joy are inevitably raised.
"It's not in vain that I have read so many scientific magazines, and sure enough, all rivers return to the sea, the avenues are connected, and the sages are honest and do not deceive me. ”
Thinking of his painful experience of looking up annotated dictionaries and literature while flipping through scientific magazines, Wang not only shook his head and sighed, but fortunately he gained a lot, so he was very satisfied with his self-learning ability.
