Do I feel it?
I feel so poor!
Tony opened his mouth and looked at Lake who turned into golden light and perfectly blended into the flashing Gemini map, and felt powerless in his heart.
You didn't even tell me what the microcosm is, and you asked me if I could feel it?
Are you crazy?
At the same time.
Just as Lake turned into starlight and disappeared without a trace, a team of law enforcement officers had already rushed up the stairs to the 36th floor.
Without a doubt.
The leader of the team is of course Lake.
"Safety!"
"Safety!"
"Safety!"
The men led by Jack instantly occupied the dilapidated 36th floor that seemed to be about to collapse, and ignored the safety signal sent by Iron Man standing in the middle.
A national security agent in the stairwell reported: "Sir, we found a survivor here, still alive."
Lake put away his gun, and with a clatter, he showed the handcuffs to Iron Man.
"Tony Stark, please come with us."
"…"
Department of Homeland Security.
A group of young homeland agents passed by the interrogation room on various pretexts much more often than before.
In the interrogation room.
Tony looked at Lake who came in speechlessly: "Have you had enough fun?"
Lake thought for a moment, pulled out a chair and sat down: "Tell me, why did you appear in Howden Building?"
"I'm..."
Tony Stark took a deep breath and looked at Lake speechlessly: "Don't you know why I showed up?"
Lake's face was expressionless. "Don't try to get close to me. You're the only one on the 36th floor. We now have reason to suspect that you deliberately created a disaster to establish your superhero identity, and then directed and acted in it yourself."
Tony opened his mouth, then his face darkened instantly: "Are you serious?"
Lake didn't say anything.
At this moment, the door of the interrogation room was pushed open, and Pepper Potts walked in from outside. She looked at Tony sitting in the interrogation chair and said, "Tony."
Lake smiled, threw the handcuff key over, and then looked at Tony: "I brought you back to tell you that things like this will happen again."
What superhero?
There is no one in the federal law enforcement agencies who is called a super vigilante. This has to do with the butt. If superheroes are useful, what is the purpose of law enforcement agencies?
Assistant Tiffany appeared at the door of the interrogation room: "Sir, S.H.I.E.L.D. wants to see you."
Lake nodded and said to Tony, "I'll go deal with it first. We can talk later."
Finished.
Lake walked out, and as soon as he went out, he saw some female agents glancing at him from the corner of their eyes. He smiled, but didn't bother to pay attention to anything, and chased directly towards the elevator.
As for chasing stars, it is normal for young people to have this hobby.
Lake also chased after him.
Got out of the elevator.
Ms. Victoria Hand, who had been waiting there for a long time with two SHIELD agents, walked straight towards Lake.
Ms. Victoria Hand said directly to Lake, "Director Edwin, Minister Kelly has authorized that this case in New York will involve our two departments..."
Lake interrupted directly: "No need."
Victoria Hand frowned: "Director Edwin..."
Lake said again: "The case is for you."
Ms. Victoria Hand was stunned. She originally thought that Lake had ignored the order of the Secretary of Homeland Security, but she didn't expect that he would let him go so easily?
Lake turned directly to Tiffany and asked, "Where is the survivor?"
"At the New Amsterdam Hospital."
"Notify the agents over there and hand the person over to them."
"yes."
Anyway, the survivor is a vegetable, so just hand it over. Lake doesn't care.
and...
This fucking case was committed by the devil. What can SHIELD find out from the investigation? The most important point is, who knows where the escaped devil is now? What if the gates of hell are really opened for him?
The Department of Homeland Security will never be blamed!
When it comes to taking the blame, there is no doubt that SHIELD is the most suitable agency. They have taken it many times anyway, so just one more will do the trick.
Lake explained this to Tiffany, then turned to Victoria Hand and said, "If you want it, then give it to you. Homeland Security promises not to interfere in this case. However, I don't want to hear you using the name of the New York State Department of Homeland Security when investigating this case. If I hear or know about it, I will be very angry."
Finished.
Lake glanced at Tiffany next to him and indicated that he could send the guest away. He even lost interest in looking at Ms. Victoria Hand.
So what if this Victoria Hand is Maureen Hand's sister?
Lake didn't care.
Are you also eager to handle cases involving demons?
Lake couldn't ask for more.
After the case was handed over, the blame was also passed on. Anyway, even if someone died, it was not someone from his Department of Homeland Security who died. As for S.H.I.E.L.D., haha, all the people from S.H.I.E.L.D. were dead. Do you think Lake would shed a tear?
Even if they shed, they are crocodile tears.
If you don't know your own strength and jump around, and then die, you can only blame yourself for overestimating your abilities, not others.
Ms. Victoria Hand came and left in a hurry, and left with a deep sense of confusion and a hint of something not quite right. After all, they had tried to snatch the Winter Soldier from Lake before, and it was obvious that they failed.
even...
Ms. Victoria Hand always believed that it was the most serious mistake. After all, if it hadn't happened, Lake would probably still be in the New York Police Department at this moment.
As Lake reached the door of his office, he instructed Tiffany, who was following behind him, "Tell the operations team to leave this case alone for now. If anything seems strange, don't lose your life in vain. If you discover anything unusual, don't act on your own."
Tiffany nodded.
So what happened to those temple mages and magicians living in New York?
Is he really blind?
Lake thought so in his heart and pushed the door open and walked into his office.
After a while.
Tony walked in.
Lake raised his eyebrows, put down the pen in his hand, and looked at Tony who came in: "I thought you left."
After Tony entered the room, he looked at Lake and asked, "Do you know what a microcosm is?"
Lake laughed inwardly and looked at Tony expressionlessly: "Cosmos, that Saga guy said some nonsense to you."
Tony saw this and said, "You know?"
Lake shrugged: "Saga's brain circuit is a little abnormal."
Tony was a little suspicious.
"real?"
"Have I ever lied?"
"He's very powerful."
"Yeah, very strong. It's the result of practicing the Microcosmic Cultivation Method."
"…"
Tony's expression became a little complicated. He said he was not lying just now, but then he said this directly?
Lake looked at Tony curiously: "Why are you asking this?"
Tony came back to his senses and told Lake the question he had asked Saga after his two consecutive brief contacts: "Do you feel it?" and the question about the power of the microcosm.
Lake listened without changing his expression.
heart?
Lake wanted to laugh.
God knows why he asked Tony such a question at that time. After thinking about it, Lake felt that it was just to make the character more vivid, but what more?
Lake didn't know either.
Maybe for fun?
Obviously.
Tony took the bait, and Lake felt that it seemed even more fun.
After saying that.
Tony took the bourbon that Lake handed over and took a sip: "That's why I asked you, are you his friend?"
Lake shrugged: "We met when we were on a mission as soldiers. At that time, Saga had just... uh, in his words, just embarked on the path of cultivation."
Tony thought about this conversation and twitched the corner of his mouth: "He just said that he had just embarked on the path of cultivation."
Lake nodded: "Yes, according to his theory of the microcosm, he has indeed just begun."
Only those who awaken their sixth sense can be considered true Saint Seiya.
Below the sixth sense?
Can the Bronze Saints be called Saints? They are just a bunch of cannon fodder.
If the five little strong men didn't have the luck of being the protagonist, they would just be cannon fodder.
Lake took a sip of his wine and touched his chin. "In Saga's words, when he realizes the seventh sense, when his fists can tear the earth apart, when his fists can tear apart the stars, only then can he be considered to have achieved initial success in his practice."
Tony sounded a bit dreamy.
Tear the earth with your fist?
Shattering the stars with fists?
Mom, is this still a world of technology?
Well...
It seems that after a demon was resurrected from cloning, it has been shown that this world has never been a world of technology but a world of theology.
Lake looked at the expression on Tony's face and smiled: "Why, you envy his strength and want to learn it?"
Tony came back to his senses and looked at Lake, who had a half-smile on his face: "You can do it too?"
Lake waved his hand: "I can, but that's not something I'm suited for."
"Why."
"It's too bitter."
"What?"
Lake and Tony sat down on the sofa. Lake leaned on the sofa with his legs crossed and said to Tony across from him, "Do you know what a microcosm is?"
Tony's mouth twitched: "If I knew, would I come and ask you?"
Is it because my knowledge is too limited?
Lake smiled and said, "Actually, I don't know what the microcosm is either."
Tony: "…"
The microcosm and the Force are the same concept. The difference is that Lake can know the content of these two concepts, but he cannot describe them in words. At least, the language of the earth cannot describe the content of these two concepts.
after all...
Whether it is the microcosm or the original force, fundamentally speaking, they are both... In the words of the fairy-xia culture, whether it is the microcosm or the original force, they are both methods that point directly to the great way.
If you control the Force, you can control the universe and evolve your own kingdom of God, similar to becoming a saint by beheading the three corpses?
Control the microcosm, allow yourself to create a universe, allow you to fight against the universe and prove the truth with force?
Who knows.
Lake is also making it up.
and.
Lake said to Tony, "Because this thing cannot be described in words, I can't explain it to you. However, it will be difficult for you to obtain the power of the microcosm."
Tony frowned, "Why?"
Lake shrugged, "You can't."
Tony: "…"
