[Comprehensive] There is a problem in this world

The mirror-painted body pierces the bright daylight, and the black sports car is like a hair-raising sword, driving on the Scottish moors, sparse black currants and fir trees are scattered on the lake covered with thin ice, and withered yellow plants are under the wheels Creeping, the cool wind by the lake raised grass and ash.

Sith sat upright on the back seat, looking through the dimly lit car window with the blackout layer, looking at the desolate wilderness outside the window.

His back didn't touch the seat, but was straight as if a ruler had been stuck in his back. The well-tailored suit wrapped his thin body, and a piece of white was exposed under the cuffs of the suit. The turquoise cuff buttons were in the car. The inner glow shimmers.

"We're almost there." The girl in a beige suit beside him said expressionlessly.

Sith brushed his finger over the signet ring on his ring finger, and nodded slightly, not mocking Stephanie for saying the obvious conclusions he could draw just by looking up.

A day ago, he arrived in London on a flight from New York, wandered outside the airport for a long time, finally took a taxi, arrived at the tailor shop mentioned by Stephanie, and saw the girl sitting on the sofa waiting for her.

The airfare was paid by Purser.Although she didn't mind much, Sith had charged the expense to a bill between them known only to him, intending to pay her back someday when he could call her "Perther."

If the Infinity Stones are not far apart, each other can perceive each other's existence. Sith has also perceived that the Soul Stone resides on that human before.But he and Stephanie didn't know each other through this channel, and they didn't even know each other for a few days.

Although they are unfamiliar with each other's current state, at the essential level, they know each other well enough, and they don't mind helping each other when they have the same position. Therefore, Sith and Stephanie directly cut to the point without exchanging pleasantries.

"I need your help." Stephanie folded her hands on her knees and cut to the chase.

Sith knew what he was going to face before he came, so he just nodded and asked briefly: "When will it start?"

He had never met Stephanie, and he was not interested in the appearance she chose, and he thought that the other party had the same attitude.However, the girl glanced at him, did not directly explain the details, but stood up and walked to the counter: "You need a suit."

"...I thought you were in a hurry." Sith pursed his lips, not wanting to move.

Stephanie was noncommittal.

"Preliminary preparation is necessary before that," she said without looking back, "come with me."

"Including custom clothing," Sith asked.

Stephanie looked back at him and raised her eyebrows: "Including learning certain etiquette and gambling skills."

When she said this, there was a hint of girlish cunning in her eyes.

Stephanie's goal is very simple - as the incarnation of the Infinity Stone, her IQ and memory are already far superior to humans, and even if it is an education that an excellent agent needs to receive, three months is enough for her to master it all.

"I've already reached the level of graduation." She explained this way, "Before, it was because I didn't have enough control over my abilities, and there would be random teleportation every now and then, so James stopped me from taking the assessment."

After listening to her description, Sith guessed that she should be able to control the space ability now, so that she could carry out the "assessment" she called.Out of curiosity, he asked, "When?"

"It started the day Perser saw me in the cave." Stephanie didn't mean to hide.

Sith frowned.

He asked: "You are different from those...and your friends, you...it should be easy to complete the assessment."

Originally he wanted to ask "Why are you with them", but after a pause, he changed his words.

"Yes, this is the simple mode." Stephanie replied quickly.

She paused, waiting for the tailor to measure the Sith and leave the room with the data, before continuing: "I know S.H.I.E.L.D. has more experience dealing with transhuman events, but it's too politically charged— — not a good comment for a global organization, I like it better here." She tapped the ground with her toe.

Sith didn't quite understand why she suddenly brought up S.H.I.E.L.D. In fact, he didn't even know what S.H.I.E.L.D. was, and even the Avengers knew something about it because of Purser's relationship.

"I like this profession, I like kingsman, I like the feeling of freedom—you can understand, right?" Stephanie didn't expect him to answer, she paused, and then continued, "So I'm not satisfied with being Mr. Bond Agents like that, I want to try to tackle missions involving metahumans — that's just the first step."

She suddenly raised a very shallow smile.

This smile made her usually expressionless face suddenly come alive, as if a flower fell down the spring stream, and instantly touched the arrival of late spring.

"In the future, I will replace S.H.I.E.L.D. with kingsman."

...If Sith understood what she was talking about, he would probably give some reactions, thinking that there was something wrong with her head or ridiculing her for her high self-esteem.However, he could only nod his head as usual: "Come on."

The girl smiled at him quickly.

The normal difficulty of the assessment was too low, so Stephanie simply chose another task for herself. Originally, this task was not within the scope of the kingsman's handling, because mutants and other superhumans were involved—she had been staring at this for a while, Enough information has also been collected.

Sith has no objection to helping, the only question is: "Why do you need my help?" This level of space gems can be completed by themselves.

Stephanie said solemnly: "In that place... it is too conspicuous for women to intervene in the game."

She explained the details to Sith: "Two years ago, the Tower of London, the Bank of England, and Bentonville Prison in London were simultaneously invaded by Moriarty. The code for a computer... Of course, it turned out later that he didn't have it."

"But now someone else has it."

"Owen Keith, CEO of Octa, there is definite news that he has developed a chip that can control all computer systems on the planet, crack firewalls, manipulate markets, spy on anyone - I don't know the package does not include the Avengers Firewall, but it feels like Case has confidence in that -- and it's being sold right now."

"However, because the intended buyers were close in bidding and refused to give an inch, they decided to hold an auction, or a game of poker, to determine who would bid for it."

When describing these, Stephanie relied entirely on dictation, and Sith was not surprised. After a general understanding of the situation, he asked, "Are we going to steal that chip?"

"At least we need to know where it is." Stephanie shook her head, "Of course the easiest way is to win."

Sith: "...you know how to gamble?"

Funding is obviously not a problem for the space gem.

Stephanie took it for granted: "Learn the rules, and then make money."

Judging from the information Stephanie collected, none of the participants in the gambling game was an ordinary human being, and obviously none of them had any intention of winning the game with luck and skill.

She looked at Sith: "You can't not win."

"But until then, at least you have to learn how to gamble decently. Don't worry, I've found you a good teacher."

...So, on the second day of arriving in London, Sith went with Stephanie to learn gambling from a man named James Bond.

Recalling yesterday's weird experience, Sith withdrew his gaze from the window and turned to the girl beside him.

He didn't like Stephanie.But not annoying either.If I had to say it, since yesterday, he felt that Stephanie gave him... an indescribable feeling, as if there was some power that clearly divided the gap and the chasm between them, letting him know that the other party and himself were not the same. Not all the way.

But he didn't know exactly what their differences were.

Sith thought about this idea all night, but there was still no result, but at the moment when Stephanie reminded him, he suddenly realized.

He spoke suddenly.

"...you are too human."

Intentionally or unintentionally pay attention to the state of others, describe and explain simple facts, find topics to break the deadlock, use language to appease other people's emotions... These meticulous, or warm thoughts, are only human beings.

Laughing, explaining, wanting to fit in with the group, doing these meaningless things.

"..."

The girl next to her was silent.

After a long time, she whispered, "I want to be human."

Sith didn't speak.

Stephanie looked at him quietly: "Do you think human beings are inferior life? Fragile carbon-based structure, backward intelligence level, short life cycle..."

Sith interrupted her: "...I didn't."

He frowned and said, "But I didn't want to give up on myself."

It's not that he doesn't want to participate in this world. The trip to Gravity Spring has already shown how incompatible he is with the human world. If he likes this world, he has to learn how to live with it.

But he never thought of giving up himself in order to integrate into the world.

He doesn't want to completely reverse his perspective, doesn't want to imitate every move of a human being, even if it's stupid, he wants to keep something that belongs to him, whether it's right or wrong.

He said softly: "I just want to be myself."

……

wilderness.

"Looking at the human social network, it is almost impossible to completely hide yourself. As long as you can ensure the complete memory of anyone, and spread the network in a split way... as long as it exists, there is nowhere to hide."

The one who spoke was a waist-length boy with silver hair. He stood by the lake with his eyes closed, as if he was listening to something.A red-haired girl who was slightly shorter than him stood beside him, looking at the oppressive dark clouds in the distance with curious eyes.

After a while, Riise opened his eyes, looked at the dilapidated manor in the distance, and the shadow that was galloping towards the manor, and smiled: "I found it."

Elf raised her head when she heard the words, and asked briskly, "Shall I see her now?"

Riise seemed to be thinking, after a while, he shook his head.

"The good news is that we have found another brother and sister," his accent switched to a pure British accent, and the aristocratic tone became more and more obvious, "but the bad news is that they are too polluted by humans."

Elf let out a "huh" and her tone remained unchanged: "Then can I eat them?"

She said it with her usual innocent expression, like she was talking about something as harmless as a craving for ice cream.

Reese couldn't help chuckling.

"Give them a chance, beauty." He casually smoothed his cuffs, "Look again. It's better to cooperate if you can, right?"

He said, habitually evoking a lazy smile.

"After all, what we want to fight is fate."
