Chapter 2051
Ordinary people can’t even look directly at the demons, let alone fight against them!
Even letting these ordinary people come into contact with the devils has great hidden dangers. Apart from other things, ordinary people simply cannot resist the temptation of the devils... Modern society is too impetuous. Believe it or not, those devils only need to pay a little so-called "price" to seduce a large group of people to degenerate into cultists... Even those cultists who are seduced don't think there is anything wrong with it, and even think it's cool...
it is true.
There are still many people in modern society who believe in Satan!
Satan is a completely created evil idol, but there are still a lot of people who believe in it.
I really can’t say much about many young people nowadays… they are really brainless. They want to try everything and even think it’s cool.
The most typical example is drug abuse... I believe that almost everyone who is not illiterate knows that drug abuse is harmful, but why are more and more young people taking drugs? The most fundamental reason is that they think it is a cool activity and they feel they can stop at any time. Teenagers are in a critical period of growth, with poor self-control and strong curiosity. They have a strong desire to try new things. Many young people take drugs just to release pressure and show their personality, without considering the harm that drugs will cause to themselves and their families.
The pollution from those demons is much more serious than drugs.
I believe that many people would be happy to become minions of the devil in exchange for what they want... Apart from anything else, as long as the devil offers the temptation of immortality, the group of old men on Capitol Hill will most likely fall for it... Never underestimate the greed of human nature. I believe that many old men are willing to sell out the lives of countless ordinary people to prolong their lives.
Therefore, from the very beginning, Ancient One had no intention of relying on the US government to fight against the devil. That was unrealistic and posed great risks.
But Kamar-Taj can subcontract out some smaller troubles. They need to allocate more manpower to rebuild two nodes and protect the last node... the Hong Kong Temple!
The only consolation is that there is no need to worry too much about the safety of the Hong Kong Temple for the time being.
Because the Spear Bureau will help.
Among the three major temples, the Hong Kong Temple is the most special one.
Because only this temple is known to the outside world.
There's no way, the S.H.I.E. is different from the U.S. government.
The Shenmao Bureau has existed for more than two thousand years. This is due to the special environment of Dongda. As early as the Han Dynasty more than two thousand years ago, the court of Dongda noticed the existence of extraordinary power, and then a strange man named Zhang Heng established the Shenmao Bureau through the court at that time.
The SHIELD has been controlling the supernatural powers of the East for two thousand years. Its ruling power cannot be compared with that of SHIELD, an organization that has only been established for a few decades. Even the United States has only existed for more than two hundred years.
Not even one-tenth of others.
In short, what they have to do now is to restore the nodes as quickly as possible and resist the invasion of the dimensional demon.
Although it is difficult, they have to do it.
So they will choose to give up on some unimportant things.
Carter clearly heard some unspoken crisis in Ancient One's words. As a veteran agent, she was not one of those little girls who knew nothing and would just leave her fate to others. She trusted herself more.
"Can you explain in detail the crisis you are facing? If this crisis threatens us, we have the right and the need to know the details."
Ancient One shook his head: "It's best if you don't know about the current crisis. Besides, your mission is also very important. Kamar-Taj is seriously short of manpower now, so we have to make many decisions, including giving up some people's lives. And what you have to do is to save them."
Ancient One's arrogance made the three of them very uncomfortable. At least in their eyes, Ancient One was arrogant.
However, what Gu Yi said was actually the truth. Not understanding some things is much better than understanding them!
"Then at least we should know what we are facing?" Hill asked immediately.
"Demons or other strange things are not enemies of this world." There is nothing wrong with saying this.
Hill knew something that others didn't.
For example, Kamar-Taj has been protecting the Earth for 10,000 years... Of course, this was said by Kai, and Hill didn't quite believe it. After all, SHIELD knew all too well what dangers the Earth was in. They never knew there was an organization like Kamar-Taj protecting them.
Either that or Kai is talking bullshit.
Or there really is some crisis that they are unaware of.
The idea of SHIELD and the US government is, of course, to know clearly what these crises are... No one is willing to put their destiny in the hands of others.
Especially this 'other person', they don't understand him at all.
This is even more intolerable.
This is not arrogance, but more of a sense of crisis.
There is nothing wrong with this, but unfortunately, Kamar-Taj has its own reasons.
It is impossible for the two sides to reach an agreement on this.
"Okay, we have said everything we need to say. You can leave now." Gu Yi actually could have said nothing, but out of pity for life, she decided to reveal some information to them, but she had no other choice but to reveal more.
She is not a god, and neither is Kamar-Taj.
All she can do is maintain the overall direction. As for the disasters that befell individuals, she can do nothing about it.
Without waiting for the three to say anything, Gu Yiyi waved his hand and they returned to the streets where they were rescuing the disaster victims. Everything seemed like a dream, and it even made people feel like everything was just an illusion.
At the same time, the wizard who was just in front of everyone also disappeared.
Only ruins were left.
"What should we do now?" The black envoy looked at the other two people a little confused.
His job was to be the bad guy, but in fact he didn't say much at all. He played the bad guy role, but people didn't respond.
Carter's face looked unhappy. To be honest, Ms. Carter has been in a high position for 80% of her life. Ever since Steve disappeared while flying the plane, she has been known as Captain America's widow. Later, she established S.H.I.E.L.D. and has been in a high position until now. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is in a high position with great power.
Normally, she would hide information from others because she felt that some things were better off for the people below her not to know.
Unexpectedly, she received the same treatment today.
The mages pulled them over, told them that a crisis was coming and asked them to be prepared, and then sent them away without saying anything else.
This feeling of having your destiny completely controlled by others... is really terrible.
Carter was not used to it.
"Of course we should go back and be alert, and declare a state of emergency!"
Hill's mentality is much more balanced. If it were in the past, S.H.I.E.L.D. would never suffer such humiliation. In the era of Nick Fury, let alone Kamar-Taj, even a dog passing by S.H.I.E.L.D. would have its hind legs lifted up to see whether it is male or female, and then the dog would be told to remember to report when passing by the door of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the future.
When Nick Fury first learned about Kamar-Taj, his first reaction was how to bring this organization under supervision... Really, this black guy really thought about it. However, others didn't care about him at all, and he had no choice.
But the current SHIELD... is no better than a chicken after falling to the ground. This statement is simply too true.
SHIELD's funding and authority have been cut terribly, and even Hill doesn't have the energy to cause trouble.
"No! The White House will not declare a state of emergency just because of a random remark from an unknown woman!"
The black envoy didn't know whether he was angry because of the way he was treated just now, or he wanted to emphasize that he was not a freeloader, so he was extremely emotional.
Although Carter was also very angry, he did not let his personal emotions affect his decision.
"I think it's necessary."
"No! The White House won't accept it. We have to find out what happened before we can report to the White House!"
It turns out the roots are here.
To put it bluntly, this black uncle is actually doing this for his own future.
Of course, there's nothing wrong with that.
The White House appointed him as a special envoy, so naturally he has to play his role.
The results of it?
He only had a few lines from beginning to end, and he had no effect at all. If the report was true, then what was his role?
How can you achieve merit and get promoted?
"I think we can go to the hospital. Mr. Strange's surgery should be over. I think we can get enough information from him."
This is a great idea, but there's just one problem.
No one knows what is happening to Strange. Is the operation successful? If it is successful, when will he wake up? What will he say when he wakes up?
There are too many uncertainties.
But time waits for no one!
For many things, timeliness is the key.
So the sooner the better.
Fortunately, neither Hill nor Carter had any interest in listening to a special envoy.
White House envoy, sounds very powerful.
But in reality, this kind of thing is actually of no use at all. To put it bluntly, it is just a temporary title and has no real power.
This guy was just talking nonsense in front of them, but he was just using chicken feathers as a token of authority. If it were an ordinary person, they would be intimidated by him, but for Carter and Hill, this was far from the case.
"How to make the decision is something that the owner of the White House should consider, not you. I will report directly to the President."
Carter said and turned away.
So does Hill.
Given their status, the two of them would not take a so-called special envoy seriously. If this black uncle was a government or political bigwig, then the title of special envoy would be useful. But he was just a senior employee of the White House... a member of the president's personal team, so it was useless.
So he could only watch the two women leave, without being able to do anything.
His way of using chicken feathers as a token of authority is essentially a fox using the power of a tiger to bully others. In fact, it is just the way of office struggle. If others are intimidated, then he has room to play, but if others ignore him, then he has no chance to play.
Because essentially he has no power in the government and he can't command anyone!
As for the state of emergency he mentioned...it's just to fool ordinary people. In fact...the state of emergency is not a rare thing in the United States at all.
To be honest, it is common for the United States to enter a state of emergency. There is nothing to be surprised about. Since the US President Ford signed the National Emergencies Act in 1976, successive US presidents have declared a total of 72 national emergencies. Of these, 30 have expired, and 42 remain in effect, with extensions announced by the incumbent president each year. Most national emergencies are mainly aimed at external hostile forces, such as responding to the proliferation of biological and chemical weapons, terrorist attacks, etc., and measures include economic sanctions such as freezing assets, export controls, etc.
In addition to the state of emergency declared by the federal government, some local governments in the United States have also recently declared a state of emergency.
The National Emergencies Act of 1976 clearly stipulates that after the president declares a state of emergency, he has at least 136 emergency powers, including production mode regulation, sending troops abroad, domestic martial law, and regulation of corporate operations. Although the law was passed by Congress and stipulates the checks and balances of Congress, it generally expands the president's executive power. The impact of the law on American social life is generally positive, helping to quickly carry out rescue and disaster relief, slow the spread of disasters, maintain social security, and restore social order.
This thing sounds very serious, but in reality, almost no one takes it seriously.
It just increases the power of the president.
So in fact, the Black Uncle Envoy completely wants to use alarmist rhetoric to increase his own authority and then gain political achievements for himself.
It's just that others don't fall for it.
Although Carter and Hill didn't seem to care much, they actually took the matter very seriously.
Even the mysterious leader of Kamar-Taj has warned them personally, which only means that there will definitely be a serious crisis next.
That's why they don't have time to flatter that politician who is only interested in his own benefits. They have more important things to do.
"Can you get in touch with Kai?"
Carter asked Hill.
Carter had a little conflict with Tony, so the Shadow Bureau didn't have much contact with Kai. On the contrary, after being severely hit many times, SHIELD didn't have many problems with Kai.
"I've already contacted Tony, he'll try to get in touch with Kai."
SHIELD and Tony have a lot of grievances, but like Kai, after SHIELD withered, Tony didn't care much about the previous grievances. After all, the main conflict was taken over by Carter and Steve Rogers...
"That's good. I'll be busy next."
Carter nodded, got in the car and left.
She is over a hundred years old and has little friendship with Hill, who is in his thirties. When Hill joined S.H.I.E.L.D., Carter had already retired.
