Chris's explanation of the scepter was a little help, Natasha guessed right, S.H.I.E.L.D. really hasn't grasped the true usage of the scepter.They don't know that it can be used to control the mind, but it is only used for the research and development of weapon energy.

Steve was silent for a moment, then said, "This doesn't look like it belongs on Earth."

"That's right, the energy it emits is mainly β-rays, similar to the original Cosmic Rubik's Cube, and should also come from the universe." Dr. Banner said in a deep voice, "And this power to control the mind...should not be controlled by any party. under control."

Shirley didn't think as deeply as they did. She just looked at the gemstone on the top of the scepter and said, "Where is that Cosmic Rubik's Cube now?"

"Asgard." Thor said, lamenting the similarity of history, "I also took the Rubik's Cube and Loki back last time. If you want, I can also take the scepter back and ask my father. The king of the gods will definitely know what this is."

Several people looked at each other, and Natasha hesitated and said, "Furry might..."

"It's not possible, he definitely won't agree." Shirley rolled her eyes, "He doesn't trust anyone except holding things firmly in his hands."

"But Loki can let Sol bring back to Asgard first, we have already caught the crossbones, and Chris, the information they have is always more useful than Loki." Steve said, "After all, Loki is People from Asgard are non-human, and Hydra will probably not reveal too much news in front of him."

Shirley reached out to pick up the scepter, Natasha stared at her unconsciously, and said carefully.

The value of the entire scepter seemed to be only in the gemstone emitting blue light at the top. She pressed her palm lightly on the blade, and a cold feeling instantly passed through the skin and reached the nerves, causing her to withdraw her hand like an electric shock.

Natasha was startled, "Shirley?!"

"It's okay, it just feels like an electric shock." Shirley shook her head, "Is there any rabbit or something for me to try?"

Steve frowned, "Are you going to..."

"I didn't want this, I was in favor of letting Sol take the scepter back to Odin." Shirley shrugged, "But before that, maybe we can use it a little bit, such as researching mind control? Nine heads The snake's method of controlling Chris is very simple and rude, it is to directly wash his memory and turn him into a machine-like thing. But this..." She turned the scepter around like a pen, "It shouldn't be like this That's bad... If the mind control of the scepter can make people retain self-awareness while being controlled, then the job of interrogating Crossbones will be much easier. But after all, it is a power that does not belong to the earth, and it is related to It's related to the spirit, so it's better to experiment before that."

Natasha and Clint were a little moved, Bucky also hesitated, Steve was a little worried, and said, "But even Tony didn't research anything."

Tony reiterated again: "I haven't studied this thing seriously! Fury refuses to put it with me!"

"I admit Tony's genius brain, but there are some things that can't be explained by science, especially mages." Shirley said, turning a right hand to condense a lightning ball, "For example, I can conjure this out of thin air, instead of like Like Sol, he was brought down from the sky."

Tony murmured softly, "Obviously you refused to let me..." Received Shirley's stare, Tony raised his hands in surrender, "That's right, I really haven't understood the principle of Shirley's spell."

Dr. Banner looked at everyone's expressions and said, "Then I'll find a rabbit."

"Where do you look for a rabbit? Even if you do find it, you won't be able to catch it." Natasha smiled and said to Shirley, "Can I let Clark go?"

Shirley asked Friday to call the little superheroes, and Clark quickly caught a white rabbit. Shirley put it on the workbench, held the scepter and gently pressed the tip of the knife against it.The process of using the scepter is no different from conjuring lightning, it is all through the operation of mental power, so Xue Li has not been hindered too much.

"Look, its eyes have turned gray." Peter sharply noticed the change in the rabbit, his red eyes were suddenly covered with a layer of gray, making the little spider, who also had animal-like keen senses, vigilant, and was pulled behind him by Steve to protect him.

Shirley touched the rabbit's back, "Uh... sit down?"

The white rabbit shook its ears, and squatted down with its hind legs bent.

"stand up."

"Turn around."

Tony stared at the white rabbit circling in circles with wide eyes, and exclaimed, "Wow, it seems that you can find a job in the circus even if you don't want to be an Avenger in the future."

"But it's still hard for an animal to judge whether it still has self-awareness." Shirley scratched its chin lightly, and poked the rabbit lightly with the scepter to return it to its original state.

Steve: "Maybe we can—" Before he finished speaking, Shirley turned the scepter around, and the sharp blade at the top pointed straight at his chest. He was so surprised that he grabbed the end of the scepter, The force was too strong and Shirley almost let go. Fortunately, Clark, who grew bigger in time, quickly grabbed the other end, so Shirley was not scratched by the falling blade.

The actions of the others were not as fast as Steve and Clark, and when the dust settled after they reacted, Tony quickly took over the scepter, and Steve's face sank. Feeling guilty, he smiled and said, "Uh...I just try that, can I control myself..."

Steve's voice suddenly raised a lot: "Can this be used for random testing?!"

"Hmm..." Shirley lowered her head and rubbed against the floor. At this time, she was only thankful that Chris was not there, otherwise there would have been one more person to train her.She cheered up and said righteously, "But there is no way to do it. Among so many people, I am the only one from the mage department. I am the most suitable candidate. Even if something goes wrong, I can handle it better than you."

"There are so many people here, why can't we do anything?" Tony said angrily. Just now, the little superheroes turned back to their human form when they saw the situation was not good, which made the work room quite crowded. "If it's appropriate——"

"If it's appropriate, I'll do it." Steve interrupted him, "My sister is the only mage department, and it's better for her to be awake than to be controlled. Take a step back, even if something happens, as long as it passes In two hours, I'll be back to figurine status, and it won't cause too much impact. Besides... nothing will happen to me, right sister?" He looked at Shirley, alluding to them All injuries can be recovered with system points, and this is one of the reasons why Shirley thought she was the most suitable just now.

This scepter has to be tested by someone, Shirley pursed her lips and said, "Okay, then you come."

The process of casting the spell was quick, and when Steve's blue eyes were fogged up, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath.

"Steve, do you know who I am?"

"Sister." Steve looked at her, his tone flat.

"What's the access code for the Avengers Building?"

When Steve said the answer, Shirley took a few steps back, and when the others were puzzled, she said, "Attack me."

Steve's right hand hanging by his side trembled slightly, as if he didn't hear clearly, he asked, "What?"

Of course, the Avengers could see that Shirley wanted to test how strong the mind control was, and they all stared at Steve urgently. When he picked up the pointed screwdriver on the workbench, Bucky got stuck directly from behind. Scratching his neck, Shirley sideways to avoid the screwdriver thrown by Steve, and said, "Stop, stand up now."

Steve immediately lowered his arms, regardless of the fact that Bucky was holding him breathlessly, his face flushed.

Bucky backed away vigilantly, but remained on guard.Shirley took the scepter and released her mind control. Steve didn't seem to have changed except his eyes turned blue again. He touched his painful neck, and his eyes that fell on the scepter became serious, "It doesn't look right now. There are no side effects, and I even remember what I said and did, just like other memories. I tried to resist—but only for a very short moment, not even a second. This kind of power is really yes……"

"I'll let someone bring the Crossbones here now." Natasha said, it's safer to send the Crossbones to the Avengers Building than sending the scepter to S.H.I.E.L.D., "Let him explain to Hydra After what happened, let Sol take Loki and the scepter back to Asgard."

Shirley watched the whole process. She guessed that when Crossbones woke up, she might want to apologize. The Black Widow dutifully dug out all the secrets about Hydra from him. control this problem.But it is a pity that they did not get a satisfactory answer. If they want to eradicate it, they can only remove the brain device surgically; but Tony's idea of ​​shielding electronic signals is right, as long as he can develop a portable device that shields external electronic signals , Chris is no longer threatening - except for the fact that he can't use his phone or wifi which is kind of excruciating.But opening a back door to a specific device shouldn't be too much of a problem for the omnipotent Stark.

The matter of the Hydra came to an end for the time being, and Sol took Loki and the scepter back to Asgard. Of course, Fury didn't know it—at least not at the moment.Natasha and Clint pretended to be completely ignorant of this due to their special identities. It doesn’t matter if other people don’t have too much direct contact with S.H.I.E.L.D. Could it be that Fury can deduct their wages and close the small black room? ?

After the situation stabilized, Shirley also asked for two days off, and took the little superheroes to Kama Taj. The internal data of S.H.I.E.L.D. contained images of Kama Taj and some mages, all of which were captured by surveillance cameras. .One of them is the supreme mage, and the mage named Gu Yi attracted Shirley's attention. S.H.I.E.L.D. believes that she is the leader of all mages, and maybe she can answer Shirley's question.

Karma Taj is located near the Himalayas. When Shirley came here, she didn't have enough clothes, so she temporarily exchanged a jacket with the system to keep out the cold. She walked down the street with her arms folded and yawning, looking like a homeless man. .She had seen pictures of mages from SHIELD's materials, and she was particularly impressed by their special mage robes made of linen, so she looked around while walking, when she saw a black man dressed similarly to the picture Immediately followed.

The man walked back and forth in the narrow alleyway, and finally led Shirley to a yard-like place, and walked through the yard into a wooden house. There was a woman in a ginger mage robe standing in the middle.

"Thank you, Modu." The woman said with a gentle expression, the black man bowed and retreated, leaving only Shirley in the room.

"Ancient One Mage." Xue Li took a step forward, and immediately recognized the woman in front of her as the so-called Supreme Mage, "I'm sorry to bother you, I'm here this time to—"

"I know." Master Gu Yi said with a smile, "I've been waiting for you."

Shirley was taken aback for a moment, then gave a slightly confused smile, "...wait for me?"

Master Gu Yi nodded slightly: "I knew you would come after the fusion of dimensions."

Shirley was stunned again, could all mages predict it?She didn't know anything then.

"Then... the dimensional fusion is really because of me?" She tentatively expressed her guess, and muttered in her heart that if Master Ancient One threw her a "don't say" after playing tricks, she would definitely run away on the spot.

"Yes and no." Gu Yi said, "Xue Li, you are indeed an opportunity for dimensional fusion, just like a key. But the difference is that the world is actively changing to adapt to your key. And you should You will also be aware of it, the world is not merged for no reason, it must be because of what you have done, it may be intentional or unintentional, but there must be a reason."

Xue Li didn't know what kind of expression to put on for a moment, Gu Yi walked a few steps closer and said, "Xue Li, haven't you ever wondered how your abilities come from?"

Shirley looked up at her, her ability was given by the system, but even if Gu Yi predicted it, would she really know about the system?

Fortunately, Gu Yi didn't really look forward to her answer. After a pause, he continued, "It's the fusion of the world that gives you energy." She raised her hand and gently held Xue Li's arm, "Kama Taj's mages are responsible for guarding the multiverse, and I am very familiar with these energies that do not belong to this world."

"I can do without that," Shirley said quickly. "So if I don't do anything, the world won't continue to merge?"

"Theoretically, it is." Gu Yi looked at her calmly, "However, world fusion not only gives you energy, but also maintains your life."

Shirley was stunned, looked at her in disbelief, and stammered, "But, but before—when there was no fusion of worlds, I didn't feel that..." Her voice became smaller and smaller, because after all, , if it is based on the premise that "only the instance she has experienced but has not cleared will be fused", she has indeed been in the process of world merging.

She was silent for a moment, then said, "So, if the worlds don't continue to merge, am I going to die?"

"In theory, that's right." Gu Yi sighed, "My child, I'm sorry."

When Shirley met Gu Yi, she was still thinking that the trip to Karma Taj went smoothly, but a thunderbolt hit her head and face.She looked down at the ring on her hand, and said unwillingly: "But I haven't done it for a long time—I haven't done that thing that would bring the world together, and nothing abnormal has happened. And during this period of time, I've played nine times." The head snake has just passed Magneto, so it should be reasonable to consume a lot of energy, but there is no power failure, let alone life problems."

She was a little flustered, but she still tried her best to restrain the expression on her face and keep her tone of voice steady.Shirley looked at Gu Yi closely, like a terminally ill patient waiting for the doctor's final sentence.

Hearing this, Gu Yi's expression changed slightly, a little confused and a little surprised, she put her hand on Xue Li's forehead, and quickly put it down, "Indeed..."

She stopped talking, as if she was thinking about something.And Shirley was also discussing with the little superheroes in her head. Steve thought that her life status might be related to the number of points, but Bruce denied his point of view, because since the fusion of dimensions, the system points have been added and subtracted with the exchange of skills. , but Shirley did not experience any special circumstances.

Suddenly, Gu Yi raised his left hand and hit Xue Li's chest with his right palm.They were already very close, and Shirley was communicating with the little superheroes, so she didn't guard against Gu Yi. After being hit by her, she immediately felt a strong sense of weightlessness. It felt like falling down the stairs, and only regained consciousness after a brief dizziness.

Then Shirley stared dumbfounded at her body in front of her, while Gu Yi's puzzled eyes were fixed on her side, Shirley turned her head, and saw a cloud of indistinct silver-gray gas tightly hugging her .

But in the blink of an eye, Xue Li's soul returned to her body, she staggered back a step, and looked at Shang Gu Yi with the same puzzled eyes.

"You have two souls inside you," she said. "The other has no body, but it's a soul."

Shirley's heart tightened, the other soul must be the system, although she was curious why the system had a soul, but there was nothing other than the system connected to her soul.

She couldn't help but her throat tightened, but she still looked puzzled and said, "I don't know why this happened." Shirley changed the topic, "You, do you know prophecy? Can you—"

"Prophecy?" Gu Yi withdrew his divergent thoughts, and smiled when he heard the words, "I don't know how to predict, I just can see all the different futures of the multiverse."

Xue Li took a deep breath and asked, "Then... is there any possibility for me to survive?"

"Of course." Gu Yi said softly, "Nothing is 100% going to happen." Although Shirley interrupted her, she still didn't forget about the extra soul, and continued, "One body with two souls... Things do not exist, or they cannot exist forever. It is the law of nature that the strong swallow the weak, and this is more vividly reflected in those of us with supernatural powers, not to mention that our own power system itself will repel outsiders .”

Shirley managed to hold back the expression on her face, her mind was already in chaos, worse than a ball of yarn played with by a cat.She planned to leave and find a quiet place to clear things up with 1997, but she didn't want to go back now to avoid being questioned by them, so she randomly found a hotel around to stay.

Shirley sat cross-legged on the bed, and after sending all the good news to the Avengers and Bruce, she calmed down and called Xiao Jiu's name in her mind.

【I'm here, Shirley. 】

[Did you hear what Gu Yi said just now? ] Shirley asked it eagerly, 【Is what she said true?Will we really devour each other? 】

【it is true. ] 1997's reply was quick and calm.

Shirley choked up suddenly, she didn't feel any sign of weakness, so...

【Xiao Jiu... I devoured you? 】

【Don't speak so harshly, Shirley. ] 1997's voice became lighter, 【You just treat me as one with you. 】

[Why didn't you tell me earlier? ! 】

[What are you talking about, this kind of thing...] 1997 said indifferently, [Whether you say it or not, it is an unsolvable problem, either you secretly poke me and I secretly poke you, and objectively You are indeed stronger than me. 】

Shirley fell silent all of a sudden, it was a matter of life and death, she didn't know how 1997 could say it so easily, without even arguing.

[And you are not without problems. 】1997 said, 【Ancient One is right. The fusion of worlds gives you strength and also maintains your life. If you don’t continue to make dungeons, you will die sooner or later. The fusion between me and you only slows down this process. 】

Shirley asked: [But if you——you are swallowed by me, then the system will cease to exist, how can I make a copy? 】She still used the word devouring, one side is giving up and the other is gaining, which is completely beneficial to her. She doesn't want to be cheap and act like a good boy, which seems too hypocritical.

1997 said: [This is the question you have to consider, as long as you have the heart, there is always a way. 】

Shirley is not stupid, or in other words, after experiencing the apocalypse where the strong preyed on the weak, her mind was always active on the issue of survival, and she quickly thought of the so-called 'method'.Since the system can't be completely dissipated and can't threaten her, then a balance needs to be reached, and a little power should be given up, so that the system can survive and continue to serve her.

It's like raising a pig for slaughter.

Shirley moved her lips and asked: [If the world doesn't continue to merge, how long can I live? 】

[Same as before, the system backpack and little superheroes will still stay after I leave, including your skills. You can use the remaining points to permanently light up the teleportation talisman paper, although the number of points required is quite a lot , but in your current situation, leaving too many points is useless.And after that, energy exhaustion must precede death, you will gradually become an ordinary person without supernatural powers, and then your physique will slowly drop to the category of an ordinary woman, and then... it is time for you to leave . 】

Shirley asked persistently: 【How long was that? 】

[If you don't use the ability anymore, it will be about 50 years; and if you calculate it based on your current consumption, it will be up to 30 years. 】

30...

Shirley counted Bruce's age silently, and Bruce would be in his 30s in 60 years.

She lay down on her back. In fact, Shirley didn't know why Bruce's age was counted. She must have walked ahead of Bruce.As far as Batman's physique is concerned, as long as there are no accidents in the Arkham group, it is not a problem for him to live to be eight, ninety or even a hundred years old.And as long as Shirley is around, she will never let anything happen to Bruce.

The little Chaoying were collectively silent and did not say a word. The amount of information was too much, and they were also dumbfounded.

【Won't we consume my sister's energy? ] After a while, Steve asked worriedly.

1997: [Of course, so I calculated the 30 years by including all of you. 】

Before the little superheroes spoke, Shirley turned over and sat up, and said with a smile: [Okay, actually 30 years is enough.I don't want to live too long yet. When I get old, my face will be wrinkled and ugly. 】

There was silence again, except for the noise of people on the street outside, the musty smell and dampness of the dilapidated hostel poured into the nostrils, Shirley was so choked that she sneezed several times, rubbed her nose and said: [This place really can’t stay any longer] , let's go home. 】

[But my sister——]

[Don't talk about this matter again in the future, do you hear me? 】

Whether 30 years is long or short, maybe for some people, a life span of 50 or 60 years is not so difficult to accept.But this is different from dying naturally. When a definite date of death is suddenly suppressed, a ridiculous and absurd sense of fate will always linger in my heart. The feeling of living one day less is really not good.

Clark hesitated to speak: 【Sister...】

Shirley suppressed the urge to sigh, and said softly: [Just as you would not sacrifice me in exchange for life, neither will I, ever, understand. 】

Although it is only 30 years... But if you can have relatives, lovers and friends by your side, it can actually be regarded as another level of perfection.

[Okay, I'm going to Gotham, you guys want to go back to the Avengers Building or follow me——]

This time, everyone said in unison: [Avengers Building! ! ! 】
