The next day, Base Hospital, New Mexico.

As far as the eye can see, it is white.

On the hospital bed, Thor stared blankly at the ceiling, unable to respond to the calls of the doctors and nurses, and his pupils did not shrink even when illuminated by bright light.

Soon, the doctor walked out of the room and said to Coulson, "He's fine, the electricity hasn't really hurt his skin or internal organs, but he's weird." ”

"Strange?"

"Yes." The doctor frowned and nodded, and after a moment of deliberation, he said, "The only thing that is certain at the moment is that his spirit has been so badly hit that he has become extremely sluggish in his perception and response to external stimuli, and has even lost some of his instincts, such as the knee thrust reaction and the constriction and dilation of his pupils. This is something I've never seen before, and you can imagine how intensely he was stimulated. ”

Hearing these words, Coulson couldn't help but think of Ryan, who was undergoing a comprehensive medical examination in the base hospital at this time.

"So, how can he recover?"

The doctor shook his head, looking a little distressed: "Because there are no cases that can be referred to and followed, so at present, I have no way to tell you if or what treatment plan should be used, and I need to discuss with more experts before making a decision." ”

Coulson sighed to himself: "Okay, thank you very much. Can I go in and see him now? ”

"Yes, you can also try to stimulate him with words, the most important thing now is to restore his perception of the outside world, everything else is secondary."

"I see."

After a while, Coulson walked into the hospital room alone, and saw Thor on the bed motionless and unblinking, his expression was a little strange.

By now, he was almost certain that Thor should be the god of thunder in Norse mythology.

It's just that Thor can't hold his hammer, and he is beaten to himself because the hammer is picked up by others?

This seems even more outrageous than a myth.

Later, Coulson also tried to stimulate Thor with words, but whether he was talking about the myths and legends about Thor on Earth or directly depicting the scene of last night, Thor never reacted.

An hour later, he reluctantly got up and left.

The moment the door closes.

Thor's hospital bed pooped, and a figure appeared on the ground.

"Thor, son of Odin, god of thunder, how did you become like this?" The voice sounded like a low chant suddenly, and Thor's eyes moved.

……

Ryan walked out of the hospital, got in the car and closed the door.

Coulson put his hands on the steering wheel, "Ryan, it's hard, isn't it?" ”

"It's fine." Ryan fastens his seatbelt.

Coulson started the car and smiled, "I've also had a full medical check-up, and it's once a year, it's a very complicated process, and it's far more exhausting for me than a mission." ”

Ryan nodded slightly.

Coulson then relayed to Ryan the doctor's description of Saul's condition, and concluded: "I think he must have taken the hammer very seriously, which is why he was stimulated by you." If that is the case, then if we bring the hammer and bring it to him with your own hands, maybe he will wake up. ”

There was nothing logically wrong with the idea, and he believed that doing so would surely bring Thor to his senses.

But...... Ryan always felt that it was a bit immoral to do so.

Last night's husband was already very excessive, and you still want to come a second time while someone is lying in a hospital bed and can't move?

Sure enough, the agent's heart was black.

"Yes." Ryan nodded.

I can't help it, he's my commander, I'm just a thoughtless machine that obeys orders.

Immediately, Coulson asked, "Ryan, I'm sure you don't know how you lifted Thor's hammer, but I want to ask, how did you feel after you lifted it?" ”

Ryan thought for a moment and said, "The first feeling is that it is light, lighter than an ordinary hammer, but it is not unimportant, but that importance is very suitable and convenient for me." Then, I felt as if I had suddenly gained some kind of power, which made my body instantly stronger countless times, but more importantly, I felt like I could summon and control thunder and lightning at will. ”

Coulson nodded, silent for a moment.

"You say, could Thor's power come from Thor's hammer? And he lost the approval of Thor's hammer for some reason, so he also lost Thor's power? He made a guess.

Ryan shook his head: "I don't know, but this is the most likely scenario." ”

Based on all the information Coulson knew, it was normal to be able to guess that such an answer was true.

After all, as of now, even Thor himself firmly believes that Thor's hammer is the main source of his power.

To be honest, Ryan couldn't understand what kind of psychology it was.

"If Thor never picks up Thor's hammer, based on the information provided by the research team so far, I guess that no one else on Earth will be able to pick it up, and maybe, in the future, you will become the real Thor." Coulson said half-jokingly, half-earnestly.

"It's not going to be that simple." Ryan shook his head with a solemn expression: "Since Thor exists, then the other gods will not be illusory myths, I think, they may also come." ”

"You're smart."

A third voice suddenly came from the back seat.

Coulson was startled, then quickly turned his head to look.

Ryan turned back faster than he did, and was the first to see the god he didn't expect to meet so soon.

Loki.

Coulson's eyelids jumped slightly, and he squeezed out a smile: "This gentleman, I don't remember when you got in the car." ”

"I just arrived." Loki grinned, looked at Ryan, and commented, "Although you don't look like Thor, being able to pick up Thor's hammer should be enough to prove that you are the same kind of person as him." ”

Ryan asked rhetorically, "What kind of people?" ”

"Hmm, I want to think about it...... He probably meant heroism, sacrifice, integrity, kindness, humility, and mercy. ”

"It sounds concrete, but it's also wonderful." Coulson glanced at Ryan.

Loki immediately shook his head and directly gave the exact opposite description: "In my opinion, it is actually reckless, impulsive, hypocritical, ridiculous, self-contemptuous, and self-deprecating." ”

On the surface, Ryan was watching him quietly, but in fact, Ryan was secretly thanking him.

There is no doubt that Loki is not sending suspicion and vigilance, but confirmation and assistance from God.

Coulson stopped the car: "So, can you tell me who you are?" ”

"Loki."

"Thor's uncle?" Coulson gave the identity of the myth, and he doesn't necessarily know much about Norse mythology, but he didn't look up the information last night.

Loki was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Haha, although I want to, but it's not." ”

"Well, anyway...... Coulson pulled out his ID and showed it, "Mr. Loki, I'd like to invite you to come and be a guest in the name of S.H.I.E.L.D., and we can talk more about Thor." ”

"No, I just want to avenge that poor son of Odin."

Before the words fell, Ryan in the passenger seat suddenly moved, he instantly pressed the seat belt buckle, opened the car door at the same time, and jumped out with force.

In the next second, Coulson saw that in the center of the backrest of the passenger seat, a slender and sharp knife had been pierced.
