[Comprehensive] Science and Magic

Circle, suddenly had a wonderful idea.

She held out her hand to the hammer.

Unlike the expected cold metal texture, she touched something warm.That thing had five fingers with distinct joints—five fingers...?

Someone like her is holding the hammer handle invisibly!It's just that the man took a step ahead of Laura, causing Laura to grab his hand.

For a moment Laura froze.She could feel that the person she grabbed was also stiff for a moment, and then both of them retracted their hands in unison.Laura quickly drew her wand and cast a revealing spell on the air, but it had no effect.She didn't dare to make a sound, and she didn't dare to move around at will, but kept testing with silent spells.

No response.The man seems to have left.

Laura's heart was beating like a drum. She didn't dare to break the Disappearance Charm around here, so she had to Apparate a mile from the camp and walk back after breaking the invisibility.She connected to the private line with Coulson, and asked with a slightly trembling voice: "Coulson, do you know that there are other wizards in the human team? I seem to have met one just now, and his magic power is stronger than mine ——I can't make him uncloak..."

The author has something to say: the No-Maj banishment spell will not have a great effect on trained agents. After all, agents are basically people with strong wills.

Chapter 20

Laura took some time to walk back to camp.She didn't run into anyone, and what was strange was that the downpour just now seemed to only fall around the camp, and the soil along the way was fairly hard, with no sign of rain at all.

Coulson was standing outside waiting for her.He led Laura inside, and asked solemnly as he walked, "Are you sure you ran into another person?"

"Yes, I touched his hand. Five fingers, just like us." Laura's mood calmed down a little, but she still looked around vigilantly. The wand was hidden in her sleeve and could be drawn at any time. come out."Where's the big guy trying to get the hammer?" she asked.

"He's inside." Coulson pointed to the room beside him.

Laura pushed open a crack in the door, and saw the big man curled up in the chair, with his head bowed, not moving at all.

"Is he dead?" Laura whispered.

"Of course not, I was still talking to him just now. Although he has remained silent." Coulson also glanced into the room, "Why do you ask that?"

"So they're not on the same team," said Laura nonchalantly.

“How come you see?”

"It's not that I'm talking big, I can take him away under your nose. That person's magic power is stronger than mine, and he can only do more." Laura stroked the wand subconsciously.Suddenly she remembered the strange situation on the road again, and said: "Speaking of which, the rain is really evil. Is it normal to have thunderstorms in New Mexico this season? On the way I walked back just now, the ground was dry, and there was no trace of rain. No."

Coulson frowned, and called his subordinates to explain a few words.

Laura continued: "I want to go in and talk to him."

Coulson nodded for her to go in.Laura entered the room alone, and the big man remained unresponsive.

"Who are you?" Laura asked.

The big man probably heard a different voice, and finally raised his head.The muddy water on his face has been wiped off, and his long hair is almost dry.He had blond hair, blue eyes, and a handsome face even in such a shabby condition.It's just that he looked sad, as if he had just received some painful blow.

"Who the hell are you?" Laura asked again.

He still didn't answer.

Laura gripped her wand tightly in her sleeve.She paced the room, took a final breath, and said, "Listen. I know what that hammer is—it didn't pick you, did it?"

There was a surprised expression on the man's face.He finally spoke: "Atrium people, you know a lot."

"Atrium people." Laura repeated with a frown.

"My name is Saul." The man forced a smile, then he seemed to have thought of something again, frowning and stopped talking.

"Laura." Coulson suddenly opened the door and poked his head in. "Someone has claimed him." He opened the door, and an old man walked in with a smile, shouting, "Donnie, Donnie. Are you here?" Here, it's all right, I'll take you home now."

"I thought your name was Saul?" Laura asked suspiciously.

"Oh, that's his nickname. Hahaha! He's a fitness freak, and everyone thinks he's as strong as Thor." The old man laughed awkwardly, patted Sol's shoulder nervously, and lifted him from the Chair pulled up.

Laura stood beside Coulson, watching the old man take Saul away.Laura said suspiciously, "Colson, I don't think his name is Donny..."

"Yes, I don't think so either." Coulson still had a bewildered smile on his face. He waved to his two subordinates and ordered, "Follow them."

"So you were prepared." Laura suddenly realized, and then changed the topic back: "Saul and the hammer. What does this remind you of?"

"Some unreliable Norse mythology," Coulson replied.

Laura pulled out her phone. "THOR, Thor," she murmured, opening Wikipedia.

"Colson? I think you should check this out." Laura handed the phone over.Coulson caught it, glanced at it, and said, "Wikipedia? I thought you'd go to your—you know, one of those books for answers."

"Yes, I will look through my book again later. But I think we can't reject the developed information network—" Laura pointed to the illustration in Wikipedia and said, "Look at this hammer, doesn't it look like our backyard? The thing in it? Look at the logo on the hammer, I think it is exactly the same as the logo on our hammer body—” Laura clicked on another link, “Look, it’s called Mjolnir, Thor’s Hammer Only those who are recognized by it can take it up."

Seeing that Coulson still didn't express anything, Laura couldn't help but continued: "You know what? Many times, the truth is hidden in what you think are children's fairy tales. It's like our books—in case our books fall into the In your hands, in addition to the spell, we will also indicate in the introduction that this is a fictional children's science fiction book."

Coulson stared at the phone screen, the expression on his face changed several times.Finally he said, "I'll report to Commissioner Fury first."

Laura had a little lounge in the camp, which was her privilege.Of course, she was the only woman in the entire camp, and she was a "non-combatant", and the other agents didn't think there was anything wrong.

When Laura was finally able to be alone, she cast a warning spell on the common room.For a moment, she wanted to call Lillian and ask her about the recent situation in the Magic Council and the status of the personnel...but finally Laura put down the phone.

She didn't want to involve Lillian in these matters.

Laura stayed up almost all night.She looked through all the books kept in her handbag, trying to find a word about Thor in the corner of some magic book; but in the end she found nothing.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the mentally exhausted Laura chose to go to the town to have breakfast first, and take a look at what happened to "Sol" by the way.She spoke to Coulson, whose science team was still trying to analyze the data.It is indeed difficult for an ordinary person to accept Laura's fantastic explanation. Although Coulson has contacted Director Ferry and is indeed considering the possibility Laura mentioned, they still hope to have a more "scientific" explanation. A little bit of data as support.

Jiuqiao Town is a very small town with a total population of less than a thousand people.The lifestyle here is also very old-fashioned, the number of cameras in the town is limited, and most residents know each other; it is precisely because of this that any strange stranger in the town will attract the attention of the townspeople.

The largest restaurant in the town is called "Izzy's Restaurant". When residents in the town don't want to cook, they will choose to eat here, or drink a cup of Izzy's handmade hot chocolate, and chat with friends.It can be said that this is the best place to get information other than the small town tavern—except that Laura herself will be regarded as a new thing, and she will receive inquiring eyes from all directions who think she is hidden.

Fortunately, the residents of the small town are very simple, they are just purely curious and have no malicious intentions.

That's where Laura got her burritos yesterday.Izzy, the proprietress, already knew her, and when she saw her, she smiled and said, "Good morning. How about some bacon and fried eggs? How about my favorite hot chocolate?"

"Good morning, Izzy. This couldn't be better. Thank you." Laura said and sat down at the bar.

Izzy served breakfast quickly.

There were not many residents who came to have breakfast at this point, and there were some sitting in twos and threes in the dining room. Izzy stood behind the bar counter and wiped the dishes leisurely while talking to Laura.

"How did you sleep last night? It's not a pleasant day to be camping out in the wild, let me tell you. How are your stars?"

"Ah, yes, it will be a bit cold at night. But the stars are beautiful."

"Yes, people always think that there is nothing in the desert, but they don't know how beautiful it is at night. Stargazing here is a very good choice. You came by chance and didn't meet her. There is another person in the town who is with you The same girl—she seems to be a scientist, and she spends all day doing these star-observing things.” Izzy said, pointing to the southeast direction, pouted: “Here, she rents there
