Marvel Book of Magical Events

There is something special about this feeling, and no matter how many experiences she has had, Lara Croft still can't get used to it.

Compared to the gentle figure who appeared last night, the person sitting across the long table now has an extremely powerful presence, and his dizzying charm almost fills the entire room, as if even oxygen has no room. Lara Croft thinks so, and this is the only way to explain the dizziness she is experiencing now. The person across the long table is not the traditional politician seen on television, a politician who delivers a speech surrounded and watched by a crowd of excited animals in the House of Commons, and then leaves more specific work to civilian officials and is responsible for being on television himself.

This was a political system completely beyond her knowledge, one with only civilian officials.

She stared at the most controversial person in the world across the long table, watched the rows of beautiful maids bringing piles of paperwork and plates of food to the table, and watched the thick-cut steaks and the dipped dishes. The bread with gravy disappeared quickly, and he watched him write and draw on the data pad between meals. Lara Croft glanced at it. The complex baselines, charts, and documents on the data board flashed away. The huge solar system model was moving slowly, and each planet was covered with countless white numbers and dense light spots. pack. Bayonetta and Joan of Arc, who were also sitting at the dining table, turned a blind eye to this, as if it was just some pre-dinner exercise, or maybe because he had satisfied their desires before breakfast (Lara Croft swore that The scene is extremely beautiful), which makes them so generous about bringing business to the table.

In her impression, a country's security agencies are usually only responsible for removing people who are dissatisfied with the country, but she has seen him issue an arrest warrant to arrest a person who is too satisfied with the country. It started when a surviving official profited from the new system he established, and a once highly decorated soldier took power and was accused of abusing his power. This kind of thing would not attract much attention in another system, but he seems to intend to tell everyone in the world the results of the process to demonstrate the justice and fairness of this system.

The satellite has been shot down, but the other party doesn't seem to realize that it was us.

Of course they won't know, and even if they know, they won't care. There was a man's voice on the data board. The problems in the Houston command center are enough to make those politicians revel for a while. Both Republican politicians and Democratic politicians can blame each other. , the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI completely dominated the investigation, and the CIA was like a dog that smelled food, jumping outside the door. If you turn on the news channel now, you can see press conferences one after another, maybe the President of the United States He will also give a speech in his final days in office and then fly the flag at half-mast.

Thank you, Victor. If you don't mind, we can talk more in the castle's dining room.

After the call ended, Lara Croft interjected at the right time without interrupting any important conversation.

I'm glad to hear about Tony Stark, he seems to be just injured. This proves that you were deceiving me from the beginning and made me think you wanted to kill him, but it turned out that you let him live. Come down. I have always had a question... She began to ramble on, Where are you from? Which country are you from? Which nation are you from? Now you are ruling a country, and this question is very important to the people in that country. .” She said, “You look like a Greek, a West Asian, and a Palestinian.”

This question makes no sense. I can be anyone. Napoleon is a Corsican, but he is still the emperor of France. He turned on the holographic projector and stretched out his hand to signal Lara Croft to look there, All The world knows that Tony Stark is sober. Aren't you curious how things will unfold? A few minutes ago, the White House announced that it would retaliate for this attack. So do you think Tony Stark will tell the White House the truth?

What does truth mean?

The truth means whether I will appear at the White House, Buckingham Palace and other political centers of Western countries the next day, and completely destroy all political systems that hinder me. He gestured to the archaeologists to look at the wall. His sword, the world-famous sword, was hanging on the coat of arms on the wall. No one in this world can stop me. The only one who can stop me is myself. The decision of whether to do this does not lie with me, but with Tony Stark. Only he can decide whether this sword will cut Throat of all members of Congress.”

You finally woke up! Don't worry, I told Pepper it was a minor concussion in case she asked you to go back tonight. Colonel Rhodes forced a smile, got up from the chair on the hospital bed and walked towards Tony Stark. The latter, who had just woken up, was still a little confused and didn't seem to understand what was happening. Your armor has been removed by Friday. I finally convinced her, otherwise the doctor would not be able to inject you with medicine through the armor. For the sake of safety, the general plans to let you receive treatment here for a while longer. At least don’t go home now, and we still have a lot of unanswered questions.”

Colonel Rhodes pressed his palm down.

This is just a formality. The Pentagon has to get a report that can be submitted to the White House this evening, and you are the first witness. Only your testimony will be included in the president's speech. The director of Homeland Security will arrange everything, No one can hurt you here.

I……

Tony Stark endured the severe pain in his skull and reluctantly raised his head from the pillow. After Colonel Rhodes stood up straight, he stroked his wrinkled shirt with his hands and rubbed his eyes inconspicuously. This is not the place to talk about secrecy. After all, there are many medical personnel waiting to check on Tony Stark's condition. Distant memories seemed to be like spots of light falling through the blurred and dirty glass. He remembered his purpose of coming to Houston, but when he tried to ask Colonel Rhodes about the situation in the Houston command center, he found that he could not speak.

We have installed surveillance cameras and motion sensors in the hallways outside, the doctors who are treating you and the nurses who are caring for you have gone through background checks, and every vial of medication has been double-checked and analyzed. You are not included in the President's security procedures. Of course, I don't know the presidential security procedures, that's the job of the Secret Service. Anyway, you are safe now. You can have a good sleep, and I will come back to see you later.

Before he finished speaking, Colonel Rhodes hurried out of the ward.

A broken golden-red armor stood aside, raising one arm to maintain alert mode. Tony Stark raised his hand and found that one of his arms was too heavy, with a white plaster covering all the skin from his wrist to his elbow. Severe pain shot from deep within the muscles. When he saw the smashed arm of the armor, he knew that he had suffered far more damage than he imagined. He was extremely lucky that his arm was not smashed into a puddle of mud.

Mr. Stark. The nurse on the side adjusted the flow rate of the infusion bottle. Please don't move. He ignored the nurse's words and still turned his head to look around, even though the nurse's voice sounded familiar. He wanted to find a communication tool that would allow him to contact Pepper Potts and Happy and let them arrange the affairs of Stark Industries.

I told you, don't move!

Only then did Tony Stark's consciousness floating on the clouds fall again. He raised his head in surprise and looked at the nurse's face, which was completely different from what he remembered. Then he remembered a device he designed specifically for SHIELD, a thin-film holographic projection device that could temporarily change a person's appearance. Even so, the beautiful red hair still revealed the nurse's identity. Romanov? How did you...

I'm not the only one here.

The door to the ward was pushed open, and the resident doctor holding a noteboard walked in with his head lowered. The nurse glanced back and lowered her hand from the holster hidden in her work coat. Let me introduce to you, your old friend, Dr. Bruce Banner, and the intern, Nick Fury. She smiled broadly, because the latter's poor disguise looked very funny. She didn't know of any hospital that would hire a one-eyed nurse.

Now we have a task, and you must participate. We must form an alliance. Only when we join forces can we fight against that person. I know you and Rogers have conflicts, but he must join this alliance. Nick Fury opened his eyes One blind eye pointed at the middle-aged man with gray hair next to him, You don't know what he did to Dr. Banner. Stark...

He passed out again, Fury. Agent Romanoff shrugged. I promised you to help you sneak in. Now I have to leave. Sorry, Banner, I have to leave, I will not participate in this Plan. No one in this world can stop him, not even Thor or Hulk, we have seen it. She looked at Bruce Banner, I'm sorry for what you went through, Banner.

The reward is a Quinjet. Don't think I don't have a backup base. I won't write everything into SHIELD's secret files. It turns out that secrets often don't stay secrets. Nick Fury said, We That man must be contained, he is the greatest threat our world faces.

Nick Fury, your Skrulls and Skyward Sword Space Station have been captured, and you don't have any helpers.

Agent Romanoff gritted his teeth. The former S.H.I.E.L.D. director was obviously surprised that she knew about the Skrulls' existence, but he was even more surprised to learn that Agent Romanoff had been helping their enemies track down the millions of Skrulls on Earth. . No matter which side she's on, she's seen firsthand what kind of chaos the Skrulls have wreaked upon human society.

You couldn't do it when SHIELD was still there, and you can't do it now. I won't follow you to death. And I don't know why he released the three of us. He never Doing meaningless things, maybe he just wants us to do it to achieve some purpose that we don’t know yet and can’t understand for the time being.”

You are not the only one in the world who has been to his dungeon. He is too arrogant and shows us his weaknesses without hesitation. This will be our opportunity. Nick Fury said slowly. He patted Bruce Banner, who was nervous and embarrassed, I have helpers, and there are people on the side of the Skrulls. I don't mean Hulk, Dr. Banner, even if your skin color is green. . What I need is your wisdom, not strength. We must rescue General Ross. We cannot let him continue to subvert the established order of human society, Agent Romanov, my helper is more powerful than him, and I don't It will fail. If you can, please wake up Tony Stark, we are running out of time.

You know what Nick Fury is going to do. Lara Croft heard a female voice, and she took a quick glance and saw a strand of red hair in the holographic projection. You broke your promise, and you almost killed Stark. The woman on the other side of the communication said angrily, If this is the weight of the promise, then this will be the last time I deliver information to you.

I have no intention of arguing with you about the tiny details in the text. If I wanted to, I would be the best lawyer in the world. Even if the devil is sitting in the dock, I can be acquitted. Salomon said calmly, I It doesn't matter who Nick Fury's sidekicks are, what matters is that I don't know how many Skrull settlements there are in the world. As far as I know, not all Skrulls are 'legal' 'Identity, the Skrull colony we destroyed was just one of many. I need more information, Agent Romanoff, but I don't think Nick Fury knows the location of all the Skrull colonies. Those alien aliens will never completely trust a human being, even if the human being is willing to help them.

Is there anything in this world that you don't know about?

I don't even know what to have for breakfast today, he lied blatantly as Lara Croft watched, pulling the plate of French toast next to him in front of him. He had processed more than 600 percent of the documents in just one hour, and with the help of a three-meter-tall demigod, he packaged the documents and prepared to transport them to the Royal Castle of the Yugoslav Federation via a hypersonic plane. He was in urgent need of replenishing energy. He has a soft spot for this sweet treat. I am not a god and have no complete control over anything.

Why would you do this to Stark? Why, exactly, would you attack the Houston command center?

No comment, ma'am. Don't forget, you still owe a debt. You can do what you want, but don't forget the mission. You know justice will not be done in the debates of MPs, they don't care about beauty. There are so many children in the trucks at the Mexican border, and I am the only one in the world who can save those children who are being violated.
