After he stirred things up, Natasha's mood did improve a little. After being silent for a while, she finally spoke her mind.
"I don't know who I am now." Natasha said in a low voice.
"Originally, I thought that after the last mission, I was captured by aliens or some other organization, and some manipulation was done in my mind, resulting in memory loss of a piece of memory after the mission."
"But in the past few days, I learned a lot of things through the Internet, which I didn't remember in my memory."
"What I lack is far more than just the memory after the last mission. Many, many contents are incomplete."
"For example, there are many mutants in this world, but I don't remember them."
"The existence of mutants is not a top secret at all. This kind of thing is already known to everyone around the world, but I don't remember it at all."
"If this can be explained by memory being tampered with, then I suddenly become as powerful, invulnerable, and indestructible as you, and even more exaggerated than you. I can also control various insects... That's it It’s completely inexplicable.”
"From the information I collected, the real Natasha is just an ordinary person. It is absolutely impossible for her to have these abilities."
"So?" Zhan Liu handed over the topic at the right time, just like a compliment.
"After much thought, the most likely possibility is that I am the fake. I am just a clone or an experimental subject."
At this point, Natasha slammed her foot on the brakes, then roared and punched the console.
Amidst the loud noise, the front half of the vehicle disappeared.
Zhanliu was sitting in the passenger seat, with the empty space in front of him exposed to the air, and his feet dangling in the air. It felt like he was sitting on the back of a bullock cart.
"Ahem, I have some guesses about your origin."
"What?" Natasha turned to look at him in surprise, "Do you know who I am?"
"No, I don't know who you are either." Zhan Liu shook his head, "But I know that in this world, all bad things are done by Hydra if the culprit cannot be found! "
"You can stick it up, but you won't run away!"
"Even if Hydra didn't do it themselves, it must have something to do with them."
"Hydra?" Natasha was stunned for a moment, "Hasn't Hydra been eliminated long ago?"
"Haha..." This time it was Zhan Liu's turn to start croaking.
Previously, considering that Natasha was from SHIELD and had ulterior motives, Zhan Liu didn't quite trust her, so he always had reservations. But now that Natasha is considered a friend, there is no need to hide her.
"Hydra is not extinct!"
"Half of SHIELD are members of Hydra!"
Zhanliu immediately shared with Natasha how those Nazi scientists "dedicated their crimes" and "reborn through reincarnation", as well as the extent of their development to date... All the information he knew in his mind was shared with Natasha.
Natasha was completely unaware of this information and was stunned for a moment.
After Zhan Liu finished speaking, Natasha asked doubtfully:
"seriously?"
"Aren't you an alien? How do you know this?"
"This..." Zhan Liu hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to speak directly.
"I come from another universe, you know this."
"But in fact, in another universe, there are some stories about your world, such as comics, movies, games, etc..."
"In other words, many things about S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra are stories based on a series of comics in our world."
"Then...who am I in the comics?" Natasha's expression was uncertain, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"This... cough... comics basically only focus on depicting the superheroes of SHIELD, or super criminals..." Zhan Liu carefully considered his words, not wanting to hurt Natasha's heart too much.
"I understand, I just belong to the kind of passerby who only shows his back when he appears." Natasha nodded, feeling a little frustrated.
"That's not necessarily true." Zhan Liu quickly reassured her, "Look, you've already bumped into Black Widow Natasha, so you're definitely not an ordinary little person!"
"Besides, a character with such powerful abilities like you must be portrayed with great emphasis, but it may not appear in the comics I read."
"There are many derivative works of that comic. Maybe you are the protagonist in other derivative works. This is also possible."
"Furthermore, the fate of the protagonists and supporting characters has been determined by the author. In fact, there is no freedom at all. On the contrary, the characters not depicted in the comics can do whatever they want off the stage, which is much freer. "
"Okay, thank you very much for your comfort." Natasha shrugged and said sadly: "But I still don't know who I am. Even my name belongs to someone else."
Zhan Liu's heart moved, "Otherwise, how about you call me Scarlett Johansson?"
"Who is that?" Natasha asked strangely.
"She is the famous actress who plays the black widow Natasha in our world. She is the dream goddess in the minds of countless men. There is even an NBA star who claims to be willing to drink her bathwater."
"Eh... so disgusting!" Natasha reached out and rubbed her arms to wipe away the goosebumps, "I don't want to use this name!"
After thinking for a while, she said seriously: "I always feel that the name Natasha really belongs to me, but... you should call me Natalia from now on!"
"Okay, Natalia, where do you plan to start the investigation? I will accompany you." Zhan Liu patted his chest happily. He had just come to this world not long ago, and he had few friends and nothing to do.
"Well... let's investigate this thing called 'system' in me first!"
Because of Zhan Liu's frankness, Natalia's trust in Zhan Liu has also greatly increased.
Only sincerity can always bring sincerity in the world.
If before, Natalia only saved people out of rational judgment because she needed to keep warm with the Zhanliu News Group, now the two have initially established a real friendship and a preliminary emotional foundation.
However, compared to Zhan Liu's "simpleness", Natalia's thoughts are much more complicated.
If you want someone like her who "has the memory of a senior agent" to truly trust someone, it can't be done in a short period of time.
However, this limited trust was enough for her to share more information with Zhanliu.
"Actually, I also lied to you before." Natasha apologized: "I said before that I heard the term 'Ultimate Boundless Qigong' from another Natasha. It was actually a lie. The real situation is, A 'system' somehow appeared in my mind."
After listening to Natalia's detailed explanation of the sound he heard, the light screen that appeared in front of him, and the content on it, Zhan Liu's mouth opened wide again.
"This is a golden finger!" Zhan Liu screamed with envy and hatred.
"Why didn't I?"
"Shouldn't this thing be for time-travelers?"
"Why did it come to your head?"
"God, did you send this to the wrong person?"
"The guy in charge of distributing the time traveler system is definitely a racist!"
"This is discrimination!"
Natalia watched Zhan Liu going crazy inexplicably with cold eyes. After he finished venting, she asked thoughtfully:
"So, this thing is not made by Hydra, but is something that people from other worlds like you have?"
"Alas!" Zhan Liu sighed. Although he was envious and jealous, he had to face the bleak reality.
"In the online literary circle of our world, almost all travelers who come to other worlds will obtain something similar to your 'system' as the basis for gaining competitive advantage in another world."
"I originally thought that the mutant body I obtained during this time travel was already a golden finger. But when I compared it with your 'system', I discovered that people are more likely to die than others..."
"The ability of a mutant body has its upper limit. Through exercise, the ability can only be made more proficient and efficient. Although it can also grow and become stronger, it cannot undergo qualitative change. What level does a superpower belong to? At the moment of awakening It’s already been decided.”
"But the 'system' has no upper limit in principle. As long as you complete the corresponding tasks, you can immediately receive rewards and make breakthroughs to become stronger. There is no reason at all."
Looking at Zhan Liu's envious expression, Natasha also realized how precious what she had obtained was.
But the problem is...
"How did this thing appear here?"
"Didn't you say that only time travelers have this 'system'?"
"There is only one truth!" At this moment, Zhan Liu was possessed by the primary school student of the Ten Thousand Years of Death, and told the truth of everything he had deduced.
"You, Natalia, are the time traveler!"
"Huh?" Natalia was stunned by this conclusion, "I am a time traveler?"
"After all impossibilities have been eliminated, whatever remains, no matter how unbelievable, must be the truth." 6. Holmes said.
"This system is absolutely impossible to create by any organization in the world today!"
"Even the Skrull Empire, one of the three great empires in the universe, absolutely does not have this kind of technology!"
"Only the mighty power of the universe can create such a thing!"
"Natalia, you should be a visitor from other universes like me!"
"But I managed to pass through the soul, and you were captured by Hydra."
"Then Hydra did some experiments on you, transformed you into the look of Natasha the Black Widow, instilled Natasha's memories, and then asked you to go undercover at SHIELD."
"However, due to various reasons, your undercover plan failed. You were abandoned by Hydra, and you were hunted down by SHIELD with me..." Halfway through his words, Zhan Liu suddenly found that there was something unexplainable, "Uh... no, S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra are on the same team, so we don’t need to be in such trouble.”
After he lowered his head and thought about it for a while, he continued to "infer".
"That is, Hydra did some experiments on you, added mutant genes to you, and then put you into actual combat to test the effects of the experiments through confrontation with SHIELD."
"This is why we can never escape SHIELD's pursuit!"
"Hydra must have done some tricks on you to pinpoint our coordinates and location."
The more Zhan Liu talked about it, the more it made sense, so he continued the "inference" more eloquently.
"Major organizations have never given up research on allowing ordinary people to obtain mutant abilities. Hydra is definitely at the forefront of all organizations. I don't know whether it is Pioneer Technology or Typhon Group that is responsible for the experiment this time."
"But you have many abilities..."
"From this point of view, the experiment performed by Hydra on you must not only have added one kind of mutant gene, but may have been a mixture of many kinds."
Zhan Liu touched his chin and thought about it carefully.
"You look like Natasha, probably because you acquired some of Mystique's genes."
"Then you can control bugs, whose ability is it?"
"As for abilities like immense strength and invulnerability... Huh?" Zhan Liu suddenly realized a serious problem, "It seems that I also have these abilities!"
"Is it possible that my body is actually a test subject of Hydra?"
"Because the experimental product failed and died, so I came here in spirit?"
"No wonder the agent named Melinda came to arrest me!"
"It's just that because of the existence of the 'system', Natalia, you were not completely brainwashed. Instead, you discovered the loopholes in the logic and successfully found my head through the system's clues."
"The next thing is very clear. During the battle, we gradually stimulated the awakening of the X gene and gained the current abilities."
"This should be the truth of everything!"
Natalia was dumbfounded after listening to Zhan Liu's inference. It seemed to make sense, but her intuition always felt that something seemed wrong.
"These must be your speculations, right? You don't have any evidence, right?"
"That's right, we have no evidence!" Zhan Liu was very confident in this inference, "But we don't need evidence. We just need to know that the 'system' is definitely not something that can be created by existing technology, and only people who travel from other worlds can There will be this thing.”
"Based on this basis, and then making logical deductions, it is easy to get the results."
"If nothing else, the term 'Ultimate Infinite Qigong' is not something that people in this universe should know. Only those who have traveled through it will know it."
"Isn't this enough to explain the problem?"
With a severe lack of information, Natalia was completely unable to refute Zhan Liu's words, so she could only believe this inference for the time being.
Fortunately, Zhan Liu got it right, guessed the truth, and successfully used his "amazing wisdom" to distort the truth.
