Chapter 192 Steve: Killmonger, I want to steal your desire

Strange murmured: "What will happen if he finds me?"

“It’s never just about sitting down and having a cup of coffee.”

Lorraine sighed, "You are now like two choices of one person. If you want to continue on, you must eventually merge into one."

"Become one..."

Strange shuddered.

To be honest, when he saw his other self, he was filled with endless disgust.

He hated that Strange.

There was no reason, just the first time he saw the other person, he understood one thing.

The other party will always make the opposite choice to him.

"If, I mean if."

Strange struggled to organize his words, "If he and I really become one in the end, can I still retain my current thoughts?"

Lorraine asked: "What do you think?"

Strange's heart suddenly became cold. Sometimes, no answer is also an answer.

He understood what this so-called union of two into one really meant.

There must be a battle among them, and the one who survives is the real Strange.

The one who fails will be completely denied.

"But my choice is the right one..."

Strange muttered, "There's absolutely no such thing as a free lunch."

As Zweig said in "The Beheaded Queen": "She was too young at that time and did not know that all the gifts given by fate had already been marked in secret."

Strange has a very strong character and likes to take the initiative.

And he knows better than anyone else that if he wants to take the lead, he needs to put in more effort and bear greater pressure.

"Even if we make different choices, we are still the same person after all!"

Strange couldn't understand it at all, "Why can he accept that power so peacefully?"

Lorraine thought for a while and said, "Maybe he has made enough efforts where you can't see him?"

Like trying to save the world over 14 million times.

"who knows……"

Strange laughed to himself, "Anyway, he is stronger than me now, and I can't stop him now."

In fact, the combination of the two is not unacceptable.

After all, they are the same person.

But for some reason, Strange was a little reluctant.

He looked at his other self, healed his hands, and upgraded his relationship with Kristen. All these are things he can't get now.

The other person is obviously the same person as him, but he can have all this easily just because he made different choices.

"Am I the only one who is wrong?"

Strange covered his head, and there seemed to be a voice in his heart that kept shouting.

You are not only wrong, but outrageously wrong!

"Mr. Strange, there is no need for you to get yourself so entangled."

Lorraine patted him on the shoulder, "Sometimes the choices of fate are not satisfactory."

In fact, everyone will encounter such problems.

Maybe during a sleepless night in the dead of night, when you recall the choices you have made, an idea will suddenly pop up.

If I had chosen another path, would it have been better than now?

For most people, this kind of problem would go away just by thinking about it, but for Strange at this time, it was completely different.

He saw with his own eyes that he made another choice and got everything he wanted.

And his future is still unclear.

How could this make his mentality not unbalanced and explode?

"I originally wanted to ask Pangborn, a patient who was originally half-paralyzed, how he healed his spine."

Strange said lonely, "But what if I ask him now? Healing his hands only means that he can catch up with him a little bit."

Another Strange seems to have become his inner demon.

No matter what choice I make now, I can't help but compare myself with him.

"I can't give you an answer to this kind of question. After all, I'm only a high school student."

Regarding this kind of question, Lorraine shook his head and said, "But I think it has only been less than a day. How do you know that his choice is better?"

Strange was silent.

A day is indeed too short a day to determine whether a choice is the right one.

But it doesn’t take even a second to determine whether you envy someone.

"Actually, I think you can try to continue with your previous idea."

Lorraine suggested, "Maybe there will be an unexpected surprise in the end?"

"What kind of surprise can there be?"

Strange was frustrated, "My current identity has been completely replaced by someone else. I can't even go back to my home. I don't dare to appear in front of him at all."

"Then you can stay here temporarily."

Lorraine patted her chest and said, "After all, I was the one who rescued you. Helping others to the end is my life creed."

Besides, this is your teacher’s territory.

If I kick you out, Gu Yi will probably have objections.

Strange is not clear about these deeper reasons, but he will remember this kindness in times of need.

Lorraine is actually right.

If you just sit there and regret the choices you have made, it will not help at all.

It's better to keep going forward, maybe around this bend, you can see a whole new world.

No matter how bad it gets, it won't be any worse than it is now.

"Thank you Lorraine!"

Strange fumbled around for a moment and found nothing of value.

There is only one watch, which was a gift from Christine to herself.

Lorraine didn't say anything about the rent, but he couldn't pretend not to know.

"I can't pay my rent for the time being."

Strange said apologetically, "I will pay it back as soon as I can after I heal my hands and find a job again."

"Say this and you're out of touch."

Lorraine said casually, "When you have money in the future, just treat the people in this building to a meal."

"no problem!"

Although they only have one meal, they will have to accept some gifts when the time comes.

As long as you give yourself a chance to express your feelings, Strange will not feel uneasy if he lives here.

"I'll go find Pangborn tomorrow and ask."

The more Strange thought about it, the more curious he became.

Can that kind of paralysis really be cured by medicine?

……

Tony returned to his cozy studio.

This time I have created an opportunity for Lorraine. Maybe when his real child is born, I can become a godfather.

Thinking of this, I edited a text message in my mind and sent it to Lorraine.

"The audition results have come out. Do you want me to be a bad guy once and deliberately brush off Miss Stone and give you a chance to perform?"

As for how to behave, it's up to Lorraine to decide.

How can I earn goodwill?

After only a few seconds, Tony received a reply.

The very brief reply: "No!"

Tony curled his lips, I was kind enough to help you, but in the end I didn’t appreciate it.　　　　Forget it, whatever you want.

Tony asked just on a whim. He actually had more important things to do now.

"Continuing with the previous train of thought..."

Tony deduced in his mind that according to his previous models of the quantum realm and the Möbius strip, time travel should be feasible.

Modeling he's got it figured out.

What matters now is how to enter the quantum realm.

"I remember the old man once said what kind of particle is it?"

Tony recalled the memories he had communicated with Howard from his mind.

These memories with his family are kept in a separate part of his brain and will never be mixed with other memories.

He remembered his father once saying that there might be a way to enter the quantum realm.

Soon, he found the original memory, and then remembered what Howard had said.

Pym particles.

A subatomic particle created by Howard's old colleague Dr. Hank Pym that can change the mass of living things, making objects grow and shrink at will.

"This kind of particle can open the door to a new world for us!"

This was Howard's high praise for Pym particles.

Although the extent to which Pym particles could be shrunk was limited at the time, that was for safety reasons.

As long as we continue to shrink, we can enter the quantum realm.

The disadvantage is that once you enter, you cannot come back.

“Why is there so little information on Pym particles?”

Tony searched all SHIELD's confidential information and found no possible Pym particle formula.

Hank Pym valued his invention so much that he even fell out with Howard over it.

"His Pym Particles were once stolen? I don't know who did it. Otherwise, you can buy them and play with them."

Tony could actually easily hack into Hank Pym's personal computer and obtain all of his experimental data.

But it's not necessary.

He, Tony Stark, has not fallen to this level yet.

What's more, Pym particles themselves are unstable and cannot come out of the quantum realm. They are only semi-finished products.

"I just need to know that it is indeed possible to enter the quantum realm."

Tony waved his hand, and the holographic test bed appeared in front of him.

"I can find a way to get in consistently on my own."

Find a way to create a time machine.

Tony really wanted to go to the future in person, but just looking at the images in his memory didn't feel intuitive enough.

Moreover, he still had another doubt.

Why doesn’t my future self transmit future knowledge and technology together?

This shouldn't be difficult, right?

Or is it actually passed on but I just didn’t notice it?

……

Killmonger was wailing at this time.

The golden-bristle pig's thick tongue licked his body.

"let me out!"

Killmonger's voice was full of despair, "I'm willing to say anything and do anything. Let me out!"

The sound was so loud that even if Steve and the others were far away, they could hear it clearly.

"Ignore him."

Clint shook his head and said, "Gulin Bossi will not hurt him. This is just a small punishment."

People who regard killing as a game can be so frightened just by being licked by a piglet.

Since he dares to kill people, he should be mentally prepared to be killed by others at any time.

Just like myself.

Steve folded his hands, looked at the room where Killmonger was being held, and suddenly said: "The guy just said that Wakanda has a special secret method for meeting the Black Panther God, right?"

"That's what he said."

Clint nodded and said, "Actually, I know a lot of similar methods. They are all cruel and more terrifying than brainwashing. As long as you mention it to outsiders, you will become a fool at best, or lose your life at worst."

"It seems that this memory has a high status in his mind, and that's enough."

What Steve said made Clint feel a little confused.

He couldn't help but ask: "Captain, what do you want to do?"

"You saw it!"

Steve chuckled lightly, without any intention of hiding it, "Clint, do you know, in fact, if a person's heart is distorted too deeply by desire, it will become a [palace], like a prison [palace] ]."

"what?"

Clint couldn't understand what Steve was talking about.

"The [Palace] is a place formed by a person's inner distortion. Anything that happens in the [Palace] will have an impact on the owner of the palace in the real world.

“There, the source of twisted desire will become an entity, which is the [Secret Treasure].

"As long as the [secret treasure] is stolen, the twisted desires will collapse, and the master of the palace who has done bad things will become a normal person."

Clint became more and more confused as he listened: "Captain, what on earth are you talking about?"

"Sounds convoluted, right? You just know what I'm going to do next!"

Steve's eyes seemed to have passed through the door where Killmonger was imprisoned, directly looking into his heart.

"I want to enter Killmonger's inner world, take away his twisted desires, and make him a normal person who can repent for his past crimes!

"Of course, I also took away his memories of Avalon and the Black Panther God!"

Hawkeye felt like he was listening to a fantasy story.

Is this kind of thing really possible?

Steve touched his chin and murmured: "If you want to enter the palace of the soul, you must first convict him. Clint, which of the seven deadly sins do you think Killmonger meets?"

The seven deadly sins are pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony and lust.

No killing.

Murder is an act, not a sin.

"At least there is greed." Clint didn't know why Steve suddenly asked such a question, but he still answered cooperatively, "As for the others, maybe arrogance and rage."

"How many do you think they are?"

Steve expressed his thoughts, "Actually, in my opinion, it would be best to convict him of gluttony."

Gluttony is not overeating in the narrow sense.

Rather, it refers to excessive pursuit of pleasure.

Killmonger kept killing people on the battlefield as if he were playing a video game, clearly enjoying the pleasure of killing.

The sin of gluttony couldn't be more appropriate.

Whether it’s the palace of the soul or the secret treasure of desire, this information is all knowledge brought by your future self.

Help Steve make better use of his abilities.

Moreover, he also said a more important message.

In everyone's heart, some fragments of desire will appear in the form of personality monsters.

If Steve can collect enough monsters.

Then according to a certain degree of synthesis path, you can synthesize some extremely powerful personalities and become your own strength.

For example, future Steve told him a feasible synthesis method, which he personally experimented.

It just so happens that these two personality monsters may appear in the Gluttony Palace.

The divine lion [Baron] of the forest and day, and the witch [Landa] dancing in the night.

The personification of a god can be synthesized.

God of destruction, Shiva.
