It's not just about the Snap.
The Master of that diary also hinted quite clearly that his death seemed to be unusual and very out of the ordinary.
Why could the Snap save others, but when it came to him, it couldn't bring him back?
What was so special about his death?
What information did that Zhou Cheng want to convey through such an ambiguous method?
Even with Black Widow's intelligence and experience, she couldn't figure out anything for a while.
What she could do at the moment was to extract some key points.
She would study them slowly after the diary update was complete.
Rustle, rustle.
She quickly wrote down words like "Snap" and "unusual death."
Black Widow then refocused her attention on the diary.
Only this time, she waited and waited, and several minutes passed.
The diary remained silent, no more text appeared.
It seemed the update was finished.
Black Widow put aside her thoughts and continued to concentrate on studying and analyzing the contents of the diary.
Unfortunately, the content of the diary was too wild, too disjointed, and fragmented.
Some hints were too ambiguous, even nonsensical.
Black Widow spent a lot of energy and time but couldn't reach a definitive conclusion.
"Forget it!"
Black Widow finally chose to give up.
She was just a field Agent.
Although she possessed some intelligence analysis capabilities, such matters were clearly more suitable for the analysis team.
It would be better if she could draw some conclusions, but if not, there was no need to get bogged down, right?
The next thing Black Widow should do was to report this mysterious diary and hand it over to her superiors.
Instead of doing something she wasn't good at by herself here.
So Black Widow didn't hesitate too much and contacted her direct superior, Coulson.
It's worth mentioning that although Black Widow is a Level 10 Agent in the comics, she was considerably weakened in the Movie Universe.
Like Hawkeye Barton, she is a Level 7 Agent.
And the honest Coulson is a Level 8 Agent.
Agent Hill, who has less presence, is higher, a Level 9 Agent.
The first-generation Eyepatch, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Nick Fury, is undoubtedly a Level 10 Agent.
So, according to procedure, if Black Widow had something to report upwards, she needed to report it to Coulson first.
Not directly to Nick Fury.
Of course, things are not that absolute; rules are dead, people are alive.
In some special or urgent situations, it was fine for Black Widow to face Nick Fury directly.
However, in the current situation with the diary, it was naturally more appropriate to contact Coulson first.
"Natasha, if I'm not mistaken, shouldn't you be on vacation right now?"
The call connected quickly, and Coulson's familiar voice came through the receiver.
"It should be that way."
Black Widow shrugged slightly, "But unfortunately, it seems someone doesn't want me to be too idle."
"Sounds like something interesting."
"Compared to 'interesting,' I'm more inclined to describe it as '詭異' (eerie)."
"Alright, you've successfully piqued my interest."
"When are you free, Officer? I need to report to you in person."
"I'm at headquarters. Come to my office!"
Hanging up the phone, Black Widow didn't waste any time, picked up the diary, and set off in a hurry.
She arrived at the magnificent Triskelion at the fastest speed.
She knocked on the door of a very spacious and luxurious office and came before Coulson.
"I only have fifteen minutes."
"I think that should be enough, right? Let's begin."
Coulson looked at the time on his wristwatch and gestured for Black Widow to sit.
"That's enough."
Black Widow didn't stand on ceremony with Coulson and sat down opposite him.
Then she carefully took out the diary and placed it on the desk in front of Coulson.
"It's this."
Black Widow said to Coulson.
???
Coulson across from her was utterly confused.
Why would Black Widow make such a strange gesture?
She seemed to be about to show him something, but then she showed nothing, only making a feigned motion?
"Natasha, when did you learn to speak in riddles?"
Coulson shrugged at Black Widow.
"I understand, I know, this looks like an ordinary…"
Black Widow was just about to explain the diary to Coulson.
But as she was about to say the word "diary," she suddenly couldn't make a sound.
It was as if an invisible pair of hands had gripped her throat!
"Huuuuh~"
Black Widow was seen opening her mouth wide, as if trying to shout something with all her might.
But apart from heavy gasps, not a single sound came out.
"Natasha, what's wrong with you?"
Coulson's expression immediately changed, and he rushed over to check on Black Widow's condition.
But undoubtedly, he couldn't find anything conclusive.
So Coulson immediately picked up the phone, intending to call for help.
"I, I'm fine!"
Black Widow could speak again at this moment!
Seeing this, Coulson put the phone down again.
But the confusion and bewilderment on his face grew.
"What just happened?"
Coulson stared intently at Black Widow, his expression slowly becoming solemn.
Black Widow tried to explain to Coulson again.
And so, that strange scene happened again.
It left Coulson utterly bewildered.
And after several attempts, Black Widow finally discovered the truth: she couldn't mention that diary to anyone else!
Once she tried to mention it, a mysterious force would stop her.
Coupled with the fact that ever since she took out the diary, Officer Coulson clearly couldn't see its existence.
Black Widow finally understood that this diary was not an ordinary item at all.
It wasn't a high-tech item disguised as a diary, as she had imagined before.
It was a supernatural item!
084!
This is an 084!
"Officer, what I've brought before you, I think can be marked as 084!"
"Only you can't see it, and I can't speak of it."
"Whenever I try to do so, a mysterious force makes me lose my voice."
Black Widow's expression became more solemn than ever as she reported to Coulson.
"084! Are you sure?"
Upon hearing this, Coulson's expression also became as solemn as Black Widow's.
As a high-ranking Agent like him, he naturally knew what the codename 084 represented.
It was an existence that even the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. could not comprehend.
Including objects, energy, and even people.
They were often very eerie or very dangerous.
