Chapter 1342: There must be a cause for effect

The Ancient One's face was still expressionless, but if you looked closely, you could see that her gaze was no longer as blank as it had been at the beginning, as if nothing in the world could affect her.

For the first time, there was a wave of emotion in her gaze other than calm.

Dignified.

It is said that the eyes are the windows of the soul, and through the eyes, it is easier to see the essence of people, which is especially reflected in wizards.

Either the spied on, or the spioping one.

For example, Dumbledore, who is not powerful in the infinite world, but dominates the wizarding world in the native world, is the most prominent in his old scheming, and in most cases his gaze is full of wisdom and kindness, inclusive and fraternal, but when necessary, his gaze can also become extremely sharp, as if he can point directly at people's hearts.

This is not an adjective, but a certain change characteristic of the mind.

Another very representative guy. It is undoubtedly the Ancient One, her gaze is never surprised or happy, her eyes are watching everything without waves, her eyes seem to be able to contain all the mysteries, through her eyes, you even feel that you are looking at the multidimensional universe.

Again, this is not because she wears contact lenses, but from the multiple influences of her Guardian of Earth, the most famous Supreme Mage in the multidimensional universe, and the Eye of the Time Jewel Agomoto.

The Ancient One's eyes weren't just focused on what was in front of him.

Her eyes could see through the future, piercing through, and she looked down on everything, so when she gazed into her eyes, it was natural to feel as if she was staring into an abyss of mystery with no end in sight.

The eyes are the windows to the soul and one of the most powerful weapons of wizards.

Obviously, the solemnity in Gu Yi's eyes was not just the predicament in front of her, she must have seen more things, more information from the future, and changes from the future.

She had to be cautious.

After all.. The reason why she came here in the first place was precisely because of the change in the timeline.

But the timeline change at that time was still very vague.,Maybe it's changing now.。。 It's becoming apparent.

And in addition to the factors of the future and the timeline, the so-called psychological pressure brought by Yi Huan to the ancient one must also occupy a part.

Seeing the death of someone else, the death of an innocent, the death of a Master Kama Taj, or the death of one's own great apprentice is a very different feeling from experiencing death yourself.

Many people are not afraid of death, but that does not mean that they are not afraid of being threatened with the lives of their close relatives.

The same is true of the Ancient One, perhaps she has the fortitude to watch this group of mages from Kama Taj die in front of her, and even sit back and watch the destruction of New York and the death of thousands of people.

But she was able to hold on a few times, ten, hundreds, thousands.

Or maybe in the end, her mind fell into numbness, but at that time, she was still her, she could still believe that what she did was the right thing, and all the choices she made were right, even... Can she still face life correctly and freely?

Gu Yi thought that Yi Huan regarded life like a mustard, so when Yi Huan did not hesitate to spread the battle to New York and the world of ordinary people, Gu Yi did not hesitate to fight.

Because she knew that this meant that Yi Huan could never be friends, because the bottom line of the two was different.

But in any case, it is precisely because of the Ancient One's refusal to give in that Yi Huan will spread the battle to the whole of New York, and the world that affects ordinary people will try to force the Ancient One back.

After all, the ability of the Ancient One Time Loop is too disgusting.

Indeed, Gu Yi did nothing wrong, put Yi Huan, a so-called big devil, in the world of ordinary people, even if Gu Yi chose to back down now, Yi Huan may cause greater casualties at a certain moment.

The Ancient One just raised the problem in advance and tried to solve it.

She could tell herself that these people were sacrificing for the safety and peace of more people, and that the choice to sacrifice some people to save others was difficult, but it was the right one.

But in the same way, when she experienced countless times of the destruction of New York in the time loop, countless times the flames that burned most of the sky red, countless times saw the tragic death of those innocent people, those ordinary people desperately struggling to survive before death, and those who pushed their lovers and children out of the dangerous light at the last moment before death,

She could still calmly tell herself that she had made the right choice, and that she shouldn't have started the time loop one step ahead.

Or... If Gu Yi can really continue to tell herself calmly, the choice she made is the right one.

At that time, she was still her.

The question and answer from the heart is one of the most terrible tortures.

Human beings may be able to deceive others, machines, and even other creatures, but the only thing that cannot be deceived is their own heart, their own heart, which can never be deceived.

With Gu Yi's experience, it is naturally impossible not to see through these things, and she realized the most critical problem at the first time.

As she said, she was not afraid of sacrifice, she could restart countless times in a time loop, her faith, the firmness of her heart, the ancient one was very convinced that she would be the one who won in the end, and it was.

Even death could not stop her.

But.. What now.

It's a pity that even if Gu Yi saw through all this, he still couldn't stop it, and Yi Huan dragged her into an infinite time loop, which was a conspiracy, and unless she broke her cycle now, she would have to face it.

And even if you want to find trouble in the future, you need to find a place where there are no other people, otherwise today's situation will be repeated.

But that kind of probability is not high, because Yi Huan has already been vigilant.

Even if there were no people around him to threaten, he would definitely keep other means of threatening.

The answer to this question is actually very simple, as long as the ancient one gives up.

But for the ancient one, who didn't want to compromise, the answer was almost incomprehensible.

"I finally have some understanding. What a maddening feeling it is to face a time loop. ”

The ancient one had a vague smile on his face, but he looked a little bitter.

Yes, most of the Exotic creatures face the Guardian of the Earth, the Supreme Mage Ancient One, and if they can't beat it, they will loop time indefinitely until you surrender and swear not to invade the Earth again, which is both disgusting and admirable.

Obviously, disgusting is because this scoundrel's style of play is hateful and hateful, and admiration is because not every earthlings can persist in an infinite time loop like the ancient one.

After all, cycle time meant that the Ancient One had to go through countless boring, identical cycles with them.

At this point, both sides are equal.

Time is one of the fairest things in the world, and few people can cheat in front of it.

Persist in hundreds or even tens of thousands of boring repetitive cycles without going completely crazy. At least they can't hold on, otherwise they won't choose to surrender in the end.

However, at that time, the ancient one was mostly from the perspective of the victor, and now, it is from the position of her former enemies.

What they were doing with their own time loops.

By the way, it's the one who tries to kill himself, to wear out his will, and. . Surrender.

Gu Yi showed a slight wry smile again, surrendered, yes, this is indeed a very good solution, but... Can you really do that?

It's not because of the so-called Kama Taj face problem, or because she can't swallow this breath personally, the Ancient One, who has the ability to time loop, can reset other people's memories at will.

Even for those who don't know, everything that happened before doesn't even exist in their minds, and if there is no relevant memory, there is naturally no shame.

In fact, it's not entirely because of the danger that Yi Huan has, or because it can threaten the world of ordinary people.

Maybe it was for this reason at first, but now... Not quite.

"Time. . . Future.. ”

The Ancient One let out an imperceptible sigh.

That's the main reason.

The Ancient One didn't have much time to continue thinking, and as Yi Huan's eyes gradually emptied, a new round of time loop was coming.

Although everything has already happened, even repeatedly, because of the high danger contained in Yi Huan itself, it has to make the ancient one also need to cheer up again.

Deal with it carefully.

。。。

The clock is ticking.

Whether it's going backwards or forward, time is always flowing.

It's just that it can't be observed.

。。。

At the same time.

Triqual Wing Building, S.H.I.E.L.D.

Ever since Nick Fury fooled Coulson out to get in touch with the new supernatural human. Although Nick Fury had secretly arranged for five hundred axemen, for some reason, he always seemed to feel a little uneasy.

It seems like.. Something is wrong.

No, it's a lot wrong.

"Ciel!"

Nick Fury yelled and found Maria Hill through the internal liaison.

His deputy, the second-in-command of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s internal command, Deputy Commander Hill appeared in front of him at great speed, and the whole process took less than ten seconds.

"What's the matter, sir."

She asked calmly, with the usual indifference and calmness on her face, and it was clear that she was a strong woman.

Although she has a stronger commander than her, Nick Fury, she still has to maintain this face. Sexism is no longer there, but it's only superficial.

In the dark. It's still there, even if it's S.H.I.E.L.D.

So I want to dominate my subordinates well.,Even if she's better to stay strong forever.。。 Never show your weak side.

"You're a woman. Very good. ”

Nick Fury didn't know what to smoke like crazy, and suddenly looked at Hill and muttered to himself, but after saying that, he immediately realized that something was wrong, and said it as if he was remedy.

"It's very... That's right. ”

Ciel's face didn't change, but the depths of his pupils were a little colder.

"Yes, that's right." She said.

"I'm a woman, and the censorship department has verified it. It's entered into my database, does the chief need to verify it himself? ”

Hill's voice was still calm, without any ups and downs, without accentuating a word, highlighting her feelings, metaphors, etc., but it was miraculously understandable to her inner meaning.

But who is Nick Fury, the king of agents, and with his cheeks, his brain is protected by double bulletproof glass while sitting in the office.

In addition, his face was originally black, and even if there was a change in color, he couldn't see it at all, so even if his words sounded ambiguous, he still said as if he hadn't heard Hill's complaints.

"Things happen for a reason." "But it's good news. ”

"I need Stark's information, Toria Stark."

"I'm not your secretary, I'm your adjutant." Hill said with a cold face.

"What's the difference?"

But Nick Fury's old face cares about that, and he looks at Hill with a calm gaze. She was a little unbelievable when she saw it.

In fact, complaining is complaining, and Hill still found Stark's information for the first time, detailed, from her birth to the present, including all the information from the moment of birth.

If it were the data of ordinary people, it might not be so fast, but this is Stark, the largest arms dealer, the youngest genius scientist, weapon developer, billionaire. and the daughter of one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D., Howard Stark.

She's important, but she's not your average arms dealer.

After handing over the information to Nick Fury, Hill didn't leave, knowing full well that her commander wouldn't be out of the question, and that he must have discovered something.

And if it is related to Stark, then even for S.H.I.E.L.D., it is not a trivial matter, as the second-in-command of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s internal affairs, Hill feels that it is necessary to stay and help Nick Fury advise, of course, if Nick Fury says that his authority is not enough, Hill is also very clear about the rules of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Although Nick Fury sometimes doesn't seem so reliable, most of the time...

Suddenly, Hill vaguely heard Nick Fury muttering something as if in a low voice, activating the agent's extraordinary hearing, which Hill quickly restored from the fragmentary words.

"Stark. . . Unexpectedly.. Also.. Woman.. Odd.. ”

Ciel's face darkened, and she felt that it was a mistake for her to stay.

Nick Fury looked at the document in his hand over and over again, and although it sounded a little ridiculous, he didn't know why his intuition was getting stronger and stronger.

His instincts rarely went wrong and saved his life. More than once.

Toria Stark. Howard Stark's daughter and one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D. Howard.. Wait, founders.

Nick Fury was stunned suddenly, and for some reason, it was as if a memory appeared in his brain out of thin air, and it became more and more intense, and as he continued to recall, this memory gradually became clearer and more abundant.

Founder.. Who are the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D., Howard, Ms. Carter. Damn, as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., how could he not even remember this.

But I don't know why, he just can't remember, or rather... Incomplete recollection.
