If I hadn't volunteered to the Director, I could have turned around and left.
Did I volunteer to the Director? Yes!
Therefore, I cannot turn around and leave.
If I hadn't hidden various sophisticated listening devices on me, I could have openly told the Director I didn't know.
Did I hide sophisticated listening devices on me? Yes!
Therefore, I cannot pretend not to know.
If I had never seen "King Kong," I would never have known that what truly defeated King Kong was not high-tech weapons, but a beautiful woman.
Have I seen the movie "King Kong"? Of course!
Therefore, I cannot deny that a beautiful woman can indeed defeat and even kill a Beast.
But, I really can't do it!
Natasha Normanov was completely bewildered, what half-year leave, what 3 million dollars!
Asking her to seduce the Hulk, capture his heart, and then eliminate him, she really couldn't do it!
Hopefully, the Director won't listen to Rimuru's nonsense, hopefully!
Seeing Black Widow's troubled expression, Rimuru secretly chuckled, and then exclaimed in extreme surprise, "Natasha, you don't think I'm asking you to seduce the Hulk, do you?"
Natasha looked at Rimuru, her beautiful eyes blinking, "Isn't that what you meant?"
Rimuru covered her mouth with both hands, saying incredulously, "OMG, how can different species fall in love? Natasha, your thoughts are too unhealthy!"
Pfft!
Natasha gnashed her teeth, her heart filled with anger, wishing she could grab Rimuru and beat her up.
What does she mean her thoughts are too unhealthy?
Isn't that what you implied in your words?
Rimuru looked at Natasha with admiration, "Natasha, I used to admire three people the most: Xu Xian, Ning Caichen, and Lu Shiyi, and now it seems I need to add another to my list of most admired people!"
What do you mean?
Natasha had a blank expression.
Rimuru immediately gave Natasha a rundown of the three people's great deeds.
Natasha immediately went crazy, chasing Rimuru, wanting to beat her up, but who is Rimuru, hmph!
Don't be silly, big sister, she never hits women!
Only after Nick Fury's reminder came through the earpiece did Natasha regain her composure.
"I was wrong, I admit I misunderstood, I apologize to you!"
Natasha looked at Rimuru, biting her little canine teeth, speaking each word slowly and deliberately.
It seemed as if with every word she spoke, she was biting Rimuru fiercely.
As a top Agent, playing along and flattering others are her specialties, but she was so unwilling!
Drinking bitter wine makes the heart ache!
Gulp, gulp, gulp!
Rimuru also earnestly admitted her mistake and calmly accepted Natasha's apology, "Natasha, I'm sorry, I didn't explain myself clearly."
Huh?
There's still a chance?
Natasha's big eyes sparkled, filled with endless hope.
As long as she doesn't have to seduce the Hulk, she'll do anything!
Rimuru: "Natasha, I meant for you to seduce Banner!"
Pfft!
Natasha almost vomited three liters of blood, please tell her, what's the difference between seducing the Hulk and seducing Banner?
Ah, ah, ah, ah, with my temper...
"Prejudice in people's hearts is a great mountain that you cannot move no matter how hard you try!"
Rimuru stood up, no longer the playful person she was before.
Natasha was stunned, was this really the little rascal from just now?
How did she suddenly become so philosophical?
Could it be that she was planning to trick her again?!
Natasha had every reason to suspect, Rimuru's past record was simply too bad.
Rimuru probably could guess what Natasha was thinking, but this time, she really didn't intend to continue playing pranks.
Joking is one thing, but the line still needs to be drawn; going too far is not good.
Banner might be the most miserable Super Hero in Marvel, and if she could help him, Rimuru was actually willing.
Rimuru: "Natasha, when you think, why is your first impression always to capture the Hulk? Why not talk to Banner?"
Natasha: "???"
Rimuru: "Regarding the method of capturing the Hulk, I have actually never lied. You must have seen the video of the great battle in the forest park. Didn't you notice that the Hulk is actually very kind and gentle?"
The Hulk is kind and gentle?
You must be out of your mind!
In the video, the Hulk was either smashing armored vehicles or on his way to smashing armored vehicles.
She clearly remembered that the Hulk smashed both people and vehicles directly into "pancakes."
Wait, Natasha suddenly remembered the Hulk using his body to shield Betty, helping Betty block bullets and flames...
Could Rimuru be telling the truth?
Seeing that Natasha was somewhat listening, Rimuru continued, "Whether it's the Military or S.H.I.E.L.D., their initial approach was actually wrong.
Every time the Hulk appears, it's actually forced by General Ross, just like in Brazil, and just like in New York's forest park.
Think carefully, has Dr. Banner ever done anything wrong?
To prevent the Hulk from appearing, Banner always tries his best to suppress his emotions. For this, he even started practicing yoga from scratch. His goal has always been to eliminate gamma and return to being a normal person!"
Not only Natasha, but even Nick Fury, who had been hiding behind the scenes, was deep in thought.
Those in the situation are confused, while bystanders see clearly. Rimuru's words were like a thunderclap, striking Natasha and Nick Fury's hearts.
Especially Nick Fury, her words even resonated with him.
He had even thought about recruiting Banner more than once, but had always hesitated; the Hulk's situation was simply too unstable!
Nick Fury: "Normanov, ask her how Banner performed in the movie!"
Natasha was stunned, intelligent as she was, she naturally understood that the Director had been swayed by Rimuru and intended to recruit Banner.
To be honest, bringing such an unstable factor into the team, Natasha felt fear and some resistance, but this was not something she could decide.
Natasha truthfully relayed Nick Fury's meaning to Rimuru.
Rimuru: "How to put it? The Hulk has lost control many times, but he has saved the World again and again. He should be a double-edged sword, very sharp. Compared to a slight loss of control, the Hulk's achievements are enough to erase all his faults!"
Nick Fury: "I understand. Normanov, you're free to elaborate now, ask for more details!"
Natasha: "I understand."
Under Natasha's questioning, Rimuru truthfully recounted some of her knowledge about Banner and the Hulk.
For example, although the Hulk is extremely prone to anger, he still has a basic sense of right and wrong, much like a personality with room for growth.
The Hulk likes cute fluffy things, such as puppies and kittens, which can effectively help the Hulk calm his anger.
Banner's personality and the Hulk's personality can merge into one; at this point, he can evolve into the Green Dr., who possesses both the Hulk's strength and Banner's wisdom.
When they heard this, Natasha and Nick Fury's eyes lit up, especially Nick Fury, who became completely excited.
If the Green Dr. could truly appear, then his Avengers would gain an irreplaceable general!
He was tempted; at this moment, Nick Fury was truly tempted!
