I became a weirdo in Marvel

Chapter 37 Problems and Sacrifice

In the office, Fury stared at the parchment in front of him with his only remaining eye, his expression changing constantly.

What on earth is this parchment?
Why do you know about the Avengers Project?
Why mention the long-dead Captain America?
Why did you ask about Hawkeye's awakening?

Does it know the answers to these questions?

Fury has always been suspicious, so he was naturally very wary of Parchment, which suddenly displayed strange abilities. He would not be fooled as easily as Eddie.

However, the answers to these questions were so tempting to him that he tried to say to the parchment: "Yes, I want to know. Can you tell me?"

Fury didn't see that an illusory figure had been floating beside him. Hearing his words, the figure smiled slightly and tapped the parchment with his fingers.

A sentence immediately appeared on the parchment: [One question, one sacrifice].

"Does the answer to a question require a sacrifice?"

Sacrifice?

This word sounds very bad.

Fury felt more at ease. If the parchment directly answered his question, he would doubt the authenticity of the question.

He has never believed that there is a free lunch in the world.

Fury stared at the word "sacrifice" for a while and decided that if conditions permitted, he'd better not take the risk himself, so he called Coulson back.

"Coulson, can you read the words?"

Coulson stared at the parchment with wide eyes and shook his head: "No, there is not a single word on it."

"really."

Fury was not surprised. It seemed that Parchment chose the trading partner with a purpose. Could it be that the reporter named Eddie was also special?

Thinking of this, Fury instructed Coulson: "Let that Eddie join SHIELD as an informant, and don't let him leave unless he agrees."

Coulson was a little confused about Fury's sudden mention of Eddie, but he was more concerned about something else: "Director, what's written on the parchment? There should be words on it that you can only see, right?"

"good."

There was no need for Fury to hide anything from this excellent agent who was both his close friend and loyal subordinate, and he briefly told him the contents of the parchment.

"Originally I wanted to use a trick to get death row prisoners to help me get intelligence, but now it seems that won't work."

Seeing Fury's determined expression, Coulson knew what he had decided, so he quickly dissuaded him, "Director, this parchment is too weird. It's like it's inhabited by the soul of a devil. You don't need to take the risk yourself."

"It's okay, Coulson, I'm just trying."

Fury said confidently and firmly: "Believe me, even the devil can't shake my doubts."

Coulson knew that once he made up his mind, it would be difficult for anyone to change it. He sighed helplessly and said, "Well, you are the director after all."

He left the office with concern.

Back to being alone, Fury stared at the parchment and pondered for a long time, deciding what his first question would be.

The first thing to be ruled out is the method of waking Hawkeye up. What if something goes wrong and Hawkeye really dies?
The second person to be excluded is the members who can join the Avengers plan. This answer has too much uncertainty, and he will not rashly let a stranger join his team.

So, there is only one left.

"Parchment - or if you prefer, 'little piece of paper' - well, it doesn't matter. Please tell me the exact latitude and longitude coordinates of Captain America Steve Rogers, who was born on July 1918, 7 and is still alive."

To avoid the trap of inaccurate description, Fury came up with a question that added a lot of adjectives.

Among them, the condition that Captain America is still alive is the most important. Although he doesn't want Captain America to be exposed in the wilderness, he doesn't want to pay a heavy price and then see a skeleton.

Haha, people with evil hearts see everything as evil. Levi's clone hiding nearby sneered secretly. He has always been kind and generous, so he would not set such a language trap. He has now moved towards finding fun.

If it were any other time traveler, he would have probably started the city-massacre mode long ago, right?
Iron Man and Spider-Man kill anyone they see and then steal their women. Scarlet Witch, General Okoye, Proxima Midnight and even the Ancient One cannot escape their clutches.

Look, compared to this, isn’t Levi considered magnanimous and merciful?

One thing must be pointed out, it's not that he is impotent, it's just that as his strength increases, the women in his eyes are simply disgusting, even the mites crawling on their faces are clearly visible.

Who would still be impulsive in this situation? Levi is not extremely hungry.

Well, farther away.

Closer to home.

Under Fury's slightly nervous gaze, the previous words on the parchment slowly disappeared, and another line of words appeared: [Sacrifice your other intact eye. ]

"???"

Fury cursed "Fuck you" in his heart and felt that Coulson was right, this parchment was the embodiment of the devil.

If he sacrificed his other intact eye, wouldn't he become blind?

Well, with technology so advanced nowadays, replacing an eye doesn’t seem to be a big deal.

Fury is cruel to his enemies and not very kind to himself, always putting his own interests first.

Trading one of his eyes for a superhero is a good deal.

Fury no longer hesitated: "How should I offer the sacrifice?"

Parchment: [Remove the eyeball and place it on the paper].

Fury nodded, and the next second, he rolled up the parchment, sealed it with a safe, and stuffed it into the secret safe.

He would go for the trade, but not now. S.H.I.E.L.D. is at a critical moment and he cannot afford to make any mistakes.

Besides, preparing new eyeballs takes time.

Time passes slowly, the night recedes and the day comes.

As more and more people got up, what happened last night continued to ferment.

After finishing the things at hand, Fury was about to take a rest, but he didn't expect a rare guest to come.

"Pierce, why are you here?"

"Fury, why didn't you inform me of such a big thing last night?"

The Minister of the World Security Council, Alexander Pierce, pretended to be angry, but opened his arms and hugged Fury: "I heard about Hawkeye. It's a pity. He was an excellent agent."

"He is also a comrade-in-arms worthy of trust."

Fury added, smiling, "You didn't come here just to comfort me, did you? Haven't we seen enough of separation and death?"

"Of course not. You're much stronger than me."

Pierce smiled back, "What I want to know is, what's the matter with that Kingpin?"

"I'm also checking, but unfortunately General Ross has blocked the news. General Ross has been very popular recently."

"General Ross?"

Pierce gave an intriguing smile: "I see, I'll go talk to him."
