Chapter 43: Machines Predicting the Future?

"You're done asking my question, now it's my turn to ask you."

Ronan took a deep breath, and this was the reason why he agreed to communicate with Strange.

Because this question has been bothering him for a long time in his heart.

"What's the matter?"

Strange was also happy.

After all, Ronan answered his questions, and he wouldn't be stingy.

Ronan squinted, only to see him make a gesture on his chest, and the two of them were instantly engulfed in mirror space.

Seeing Ronan's movements, Strange was also a little surprised.

He didn't think Ronan was going to attack him.

What surprised him was that Ronan looked so careful.

"What the hell is it that makes you have to use mirror space to communicate with me?"

"Isn't even Kama Taj safe?"

The more he continued to speak, the more difficult even Strange's face became.

If on Earth, even Kama Taj is unable to cope with certain dangers, then there is no safe place on the whole planet.

"No, it's not that it's not safe."

"All I can say is... I'm afraid that what we say will be heard. ”

Ronan's face was more serious than ever.

Seeing Ronan's face like this, Strange also became solemn.

"Well, what do you say?"

Strange finally gets to the point.

"I wonder if you have sensed that something is interfering with the course of history since you became the Supreme Mage."

"In other words, there's a man who, like you, can foresee the future, and he's quietly weeding out some people?"

Ronan opened his mouth and uttered something shocking.

Subconsciously, Strange shouted the word "impossible".

It's just that Ronan didn't ask him, just looked at him silently, waiting for his final answer.

This answer is undoubtedly brainless, and Ronan doesn't care.

He needed Strange to think before he spoke.

Sure enough, when he felt Ronan's gaze, Strange gradually calmed down.

He was able to say the impossible, just because he didn't want to believe it.

But in reality, this kind of thing is not unprecedented.

"May I start by asking, why did you come to this conclusion?"

"As far as I know, there is no other way to observe the future on Earth than the Time Gem."

"Even the Eye of Agomoto has temporarily sealed this ability for some reason."

Strange looked at Ronan and wondered why he said that.

Another person who can observe the future.

Could it be that the other party has some power that they don't know about.

Ronan groaned for a moment, and finally he took a deep breath, and the time gem on his chest began to glow faintly green.

A picture appeared in front of them.

The people in the center of the picture are Steve Rogers and Black Widow, and soon, the falcon is carrying a man and flying from the sky, looking like he is dealing with someone.

Strange looked at Ronan curiously.

Ronan didn't speak, just motioned for him to keep looking.

"Zola is a program that selects targets for the Insight program."

The bald man who was brought up knelt on the ground and said as he gasped.

He was none other than one of Hydra's agents, Hitwell.

"What goal?"

The person questioning was Steve Rogers.

"You!"

Hitwell pointed at Steve Rogers before moving on to the list.

"A host in Cairo, Deputy Minister of Defense, a high school graduation student in Iowa."

"Bruce Banner, Stephen Strange."

"Anyone who threatens Hydra."

"Now and in the future."

At this point, Ronan looked up at Strange to the side.

At this time, Strange's face also changed.

He didn't know who the man was, but he said his name.

You know, the names of mages like them are rarely known to outsiders.

"Future?"

"How does it measure the future?"

Steve Rogers continued.

Hitwell looked up at Steve Rogers, who was close at hand, and actually laughed.

"Why not?"

"The 21st century is an e-book, and Zola taught Hydra to read him."

Speaking of which, Hitwell saw that the others did not understand what he meant, and added again: "Your bank records, your medical records, your voting tendencies, your emails, your phone calls. ”

"Zola analyzes people's past through algorithms to predict their future."

At this point, the picture stops.

The plot of this section appeared a few years ago, when Steve Rogers began to destroy S.H.I.E.L.D.

Of course, S.H.I.E.L.D. at that time could be called Hydra.

"Did you find anything important?"

Ronan looked at Strange again.

Strange held his chin and looked solemn.

"Are you talking about the person who can predict the future, the 'Zola' in this conversation?"

"No matter how powerful it is, it's no more than a supercomputer."

"Maybe it can guess people's preferences, but how can it predict the future?"

To this day, Strange still doesn't believe it.

Although he is also a modern person, he once lived in a modern city and experienced the convenience brought to him by technology.

But while technology can predict people's preferences, how can you know what you'll be doing tomorrow?

This is something Strange can't believe.

Ronan, however, shook his head.

"I'll give you one more hint."

"This happened in 2014."

Ronan named a point in time.

When the 2014 vintage was mentioned, Strange suddenly stood up from his chair.

The calmness on his face before has long since disappeared!

"In 2014?"

"At that time......

Strange seemed to have something in mind.

"That's right, at that time, you were still a world-renowned surgeon."

"Didn't become Doctor Strange."

"What's more, when Hitwell says you're a threat, he doesn't put you on a par with the ordinary people in front of him."

"It's juxtaposed with Tony Stark."

"Subconsciously, this means that you are the same level as Tony Stark, or even higher!"

Ronan's words seemed to wake up Strange all at once.

Oh, yes!

At that time, Strange was just an ordinary surgeon.

No matter how famous he is, he doesn't participate in politics, and he doesn't have any ulterior secrets.

How could it be considered a threat by Hydra?

was even tied with the already famous Iron Man Tony Stark at the time.

Could it be that Zora at that time already knew that Strange would become Doctor Strange?

If that's the case......

Thinking of this, a cold sweat broke out on Strange's back.

He unknowingly brushed shoulders with death?

......
