SHIELD headquarters, in Nick Fury's office.
"How is it? Mei, how threatening is this person named Zhan Liu?"
When Zhan Liu traveled to this world, the resulting space fluctuations attracted the attention of SHIELD.
However, due to insufficient technical accuracy and other reasons, it took SHIELD a long time to find Zhan Liu.
By this time, Zhan Liu had already opened a martial arts gym in Chinatown, and publicly claimed to his disciples that he was not from this world, and that his qigong could give ordinary people superpowers.
This kind of rhetoric sounds like the deception of a fraudster or the dream talk of a mentally ill person.
However, his martial arts studio provides free teaching and free of charge, so many people still come to become apprentices.
As S.H.I.E.L.D., which takes the safety of the earth as its own responsibility, it is of course impossible to allow an alien to wander around the city at will, and even open a museum to teach students.
Who knows what he is teaching, if it is something like offering sacrifices to evil gods in exchange for power, that would be very bad.
Therefore, SHIELD launched an investigation into Zhan Liu as soon as it found him.
But the first agent sent to investigate simply failed to achieve his goal.
It's not that this agent's professional skills are not good enough, but that Zhan Liu only knows Chinese and doesn't understand English. He can't understand, let alone speak.
And if it's Chinese, he understands it whether it's Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien, or even minority languages.
The only thing is that I don’t understand English.
All the disciples he accepts must be able to speak Chinese, otherwise they will not be accepted.
There was no way around it, so Nick had to find another agent to investigate.
Although there are many agents who understand Chinese, considering that the alien has an oriental appearance, Nick finally chose Melinda May, a Chinese female agent.
More than a month has passed, and Mei finally came back to submit the task today.
Mei poured herself a cup of coffee and then sat across from Nick.
"Frankly speaking, when I first received the assignment, my first feeling was that you gave me a chance to take a vacation."
"We don't know how many fakers like this have been exposed. I thought it would be the same this time."
"But when I joined the gym, I was surprised that things might be different this time."
"What he taught to all his disciples was the same thing, but it sounded very systematic and perfectly self-consistent. So I decided to follow it and study it to see if it really worked."
"Oh, I almost forgot, you are our 'iron cavalry', nothing can be hidden from you." Nick smiled and gave Mei a small compliment.
"Nick." Mei did not feel happy because of his compliment. Instead, she stared at him seriously, "This matter may be serious."
Nick was stunned and sat up straight, "How serious."
Mei said nothing, but stretched out her hand.
Nick looked intently and saw an electric spark appearing out of thin air, jumping back and forth between May's five open fingers.
In order to let Nick see more clearly, May moved her hand towards the coffee cup on the table, and the electric arc jumped from May's fingers to the metal spoon on the cup.
Mei put her hand on the back of Nick's hand again, and Nick immediately felt a weak electric current flowing through his body, making his hand tremble.
hiss……
Nick gasped.
May was a human being, Nick knew that.
But now, May has superpowers.
Nick was convinced that this was not an illusion, a cover-up, or a superpower.
"His qigong is real, and it can really give people super powers. Now you know how serious this is."
Nick suddenly stood up and reached for the phone, "Crossbones, I need two teams of fully armed soldiers to gather downstairs."
He reached out to cover the phone and turned to ask Mei, "How many students does he have now? How many people have super powers?"
Mei turned her head and thought for a moment, "The number of students is probably around 500..."
"Damn it!" Nick cursed, turned to Crossbones on the other side of the phone and said, "I need ten teams of people..."
Mei suddenly smiled and said, "However, I am currently the only student with superpowers."
"Huh?" Nick was stunned for a moment, looked at Mei's mischievous expression, and laughed angrily, "I should really send you to Siberia!"
"The operation is cancelled. Let everyone disperse. It's a false alarm."
He hung up the phone, sat back down, folded his hands and placed them on the table. He stared at Mei with his one eye and said carefully: "If you don't want to walk with the penguins tonight, you'd better give it to me." Some good news.”
May shrugged, "Well, I'm just a little hyper."
"Can you imagine? A person who has practiced martial arts to a certain limit suddenly sees the direction of progress. This kind of happiness and joy will inevitably make people feel a little lost."
"Besides, it's a superpower. Who doesn't want to be different? You're right?"
Nick stared at Mei for a long time, then finally nodded and said, "Okay, I forgive you."
"Now, we can return to the original topic and continue talking about this alien martial artist."
"He actually comes from a parallel world on another earth, where martial arts are prosperous and the world is ruled by a group of beings called Martial Gods."
"He never hid these things. Whenever a student asked about it in a casual chat, he would tell some stories about another world. But most students basically listened to him as stories and did not really believe what he said."
"Although he has accepted many students, they are all registered disciples. They can only start within three months. Well, starting is for people like me who can successfully generate superpowers. He calls this the current-driven realm."
"Only those who have started are considered his formal disciples. The key to getting started is willpower."
"In other words, you are now his official disciple?"
"That's right, and he's the only one at the moment." Mei said with a bit of pride.
"This is just the beginning. After several years of study, I will become stronger."
"But, again, you should be able to imagine how much damage it would cause if such abilities were learned by other bad guys."
"The problem is that my teacher's views are different from other martial arts masters. He doesn't care about the conduct of his students."
Nick listened carefully, nodded and said:
"This is normal. His three views should have been shaped in the world of the God of War. In a place where there is no government restriction and the God of War rules the world, his three views must be very distorted."
Mei also put away her smile and said seriously:
"We cannot let him continue like this. We must stop him. Dangerous knowledge cannot be spread widely. This is common sense."
