Chapter 540 The Contract between Scum and Scientist
At this time, the Fantastic Four are guests in S.H.I.E.L.D. It is said that I am a guest, but more importantly, it is to seek cooperation.
After learning the news about the Demon King of Hell, Mr. Fantastic Reed will not have any bad thoughts.
Although this guy has a wide range of expertise, whether it is mechanics or biology, a series of things that can be linked to science are within the scope of his expertise.
There was even the idea of a greater evolution for humans, but demons and humans were completely different. This was the conclusion he got from Tony.
Although Reed is a little disdainful of Tony's technical level, he still believes in Tony's professional knowledge.
Science may produce explosive progress, but there are traces to follow, and unreasonable beings like him are exceptions.
“My current interest has been attracted by your alien technology. If possible, I hope to study it with you.
After all, you have proven that you can’t help it. Master that level of technology."
Reed said to Tony somewhat rudely, even ignoring the others around him.
Tony looked a little ugly when he heard this, but he couldn't deny what Reid said.
He lost control while researching the Cybermen and realized his own shortcomings, but this was not the reason for him to admit defeat.
"Who do you think I am?"
Tony showed the hostility in his heart very clearly with a dissatisfied tone. Reed has not yet been recognized by Tony. As a "comrade-in-arms, "aspect.
"Tony Stark, a playboy."
Reed stated calmly.
As for the technology of the steel suit, he has almost understood the technical hurdles through just a few observations. There is only one thing that limits him from making better things, and that is the materials.
The team of the Fantastic Four are not street heroes, they have an industry and money. But compared with Tony, it is far behind, not to mention the political power represented by the Stark family.
The Stark industry has been able to develop to its current level not just because of Tony's talent. But someone has always been protecting him.
Howard Stark's scientific achievements are not inferior to his own son, but he is more mature and knows what can make Stark greater.
The Fantastic Four cannot obtain all kinds of magical materials like Tony. Even though Johnny may be one of the best metal smelters, he cannot change the nature of the materials.
“I think so too, but Tony is definitely the best among the Playboys. At least everything he enjoys is something that you, a scientific ascetic, can’t even imagine.”
Constantine spoke in a tone as if he was on fire, with a smile and a longing for Tony's life.
This kind of words even made Tony feel a little proud after hearing it. Being rich is not a shameful thing. Many people are full of yearning for Tony's life.
Although Constantine was not short of money, he always found a way to get it. But some enjoyments cannot be enjoyed simply by getting money, they also require some "status".
Unfortunately, Constantine has basically no "status".
As for bewitching those high-status guys to enjoy themselves? Constantine has no plans to send himself to prison yet, even if he can live a good life in prison.
But not every prison in the United States sells "Sika" cigarettes.
Tony glanced at Constantine thoughtfully: "Yes, I am a playboy, but the resources I have are beyond your imagination. Do you think that being a playboy only requires As long as you have money?"
Tony did not deny Reid's idea at all, and he was full of pride when he spoke.
However, these words were not spoken to Constantine, but to hint at Reed's special status.
Everything in the Stark family belongs to him, and no one can change it. And him! He also deserves the honor of the Stark family!
"Okay, now is not the time for you to argue about this. What we need to discuss now is how to obtain more power!"
Nick Fury directly interrupted the argument between the two parties. .
If there are technical disagreements, he is still happy to see them. It is a collision of scientists' ideas.
But this kind of argument now is nonsense and will not help anything! It might even create a rift between two scientists.
It doesn’t matter if you are rich, but rich people who like to show off are not very likable.
There are more and more incidents happening and their intensity is getting higher and higher. SHIELD has been marginalized. Faced with endless troubles, SHIELD agents seem to be unable to do anything but evacuate the scene.
Even concealing the news is becoming increasingly difficult.
SHIELD needs the help of scientists. Although they have their own scientific research team, there are also many outstanding talents among them.
But it seems that there are always a few of them that really promote the breakthrough development of science.
Which is rarer, the talents who laid the foundation or the talents who lead the times? Apparently it's the latter.
The two scientists in front of him were like this, and Nick Fury was reluctant to make a choice.
"Hill, are you sure your power comes from that ring?"
Nick Fury looked at Agent Hill and said seriously. He needed a new topic to divert everyone's attention. attention.
He originally wanted to ask some questions about Constantine and Melinda, but when he saw Constantine's smiling eyes, he didn't know why he felt a little scared.
As for Melinda, she no longer takes him seriously.
The Blue Lanterns are equally strong in will, so naturally they cannot have any fear or other emotions because of Nick Fury's eyes.
The greatness of will is not something that can be easily changed.
“Do you have any more ‘great’ ideas to make all of SHIELD become Lanterns?”
Constantine interrupted without caring about the atmosphere, and his smile became even more annoying.
What he is doing now is like constantly announcing his existence. Although it is a bit annoying, it is just right so that people will not feel that they would be better off without him.
This is probably considered a kind of talent. This scale is difficult to grasp.
It is better to be slightly disliked than to be a stranger, especially for Constantine.
And Constantine will turn others' impression of him into trust at the right time. It doesn't take long, as long as it is needed.
Just when Nick Fury was about to say something to Constantine, like a threat?
Constantine neatly took off the ring from his hand and threw it on the table.
The sound of the ring rolling attracted everyone's attention involuntarily, until the ring stopped in front of Tony!
“Now, we have two scientists. Although one of them is more like a hateful rich man than the other, I think the rich man doesn’t mind giving something that doesn’t make sense to him. Can you use the money to buy the right to use this thing?"
Constantine showed a "kind" smile to Tony,
No matter when, Constantine's smile can make people feel bad, as if they are being watched secretly.
"You want money? I know you are short of money, but not to this extent. Tell me, what do you want!"
Tony said in annoyance, but His hand has already grasped the blue light ring.
He is full of curiosity about everything new.
While speaking, Tony's sight was completely occupied by the ring in his hand. When he grasped the ring, he seemed to be grasping hope.
"What he wants is results, or to gain connections and support for some of his plans."
Nick Fury directly revealed Constantine's background. In his eyes, Constantine is better than others. Several guys together are even more dangerous.
If it weren’t for the possibility of using Constantine’s power, Nick Fury would more likely use a gun as payment for Constantine.
Most of Constantine's cooking cannot escape the eyes of Nick Fury, the king of secret agents, until it involves mysterious magic.
But it is not unimaginable that Constantine has a plan.
"Of course, this is only part of it. I still need more things, but you can't bring me anything."
Constantine stretched out his hands easily, without any guilt or intention to hide it. He directly admitted Nick Fury's statement, and his expression didn't even change.
"Tell me, I want to know, is there anything in this world that even the Stark Group can't come up with."
Tony calmly put the ring in his hand on He put it in his pocket and said to Constantine.
This is not because he is arrogant, but because Stark can get most of the things in the world.
As long as it’s something that requires money, it’s fine!
This is regarded as Tony having made a promise, but Constantine does not seem to be very excited.
"Ha, I like your generosity. Although the gods I know are also moved by 'money', you really have no choice this time. What I want is a god!< br>
I admit that you are a hero and one of the rare rich people in the world, but your technical level is too poor. In other words, you cannot create a path for science to involve theology. ”
< br>Constantine didn't mean to hide it, he said it openly and directly, and despised Tony by the way.
An angel or a demon will do.
But the angels and demons that originally existed in this world are all finished.
Hell is occupied by burning hell, and the so-called heaven is even worse.
At least after High-level Heaven appeared in this world, Constantine no longer felt the breath of those old acquaintances.
No one will deny the existence of God at this time. Basically, everyone present has seen the devil, and some of them have even communicated with Auriel, the Archangel of Hope.
Although it was a bit ruining their outlook on life, they quickly accepted the existence of "gods".
"A god? A god who is omnipotent?"
Reed seemed to have a different idea when he said this, and continued talking before anyone else could reply.
"Science can also achieve anything, so do you have any belief in science?"
Reed's words are a bit surprising, even several other people in the Fantastic Four are a little bit surprised. Shocked, because this didn't sound like what Reed had said. Nick Fury felt something was wrong, as if Constantine's previous disdain for science had made Reed a little bit heady.
He suspected that Constantine had secretly used some magic to affect Reed's sanity.
But he can do this level of provocation, so Nick Fury hesitated for a while.
He wants Constantine's help, but he also wants the wisdom of Mr. Fantastic Reed.
If you intervene at this time, it may turn "I want them all" into "I choose one."
For Nick Fury, this is a loss!
Especially Mr. Fantastic and Constantine are both a bit petty, especially Constantine who is still a scumbag and he doesn’t really want to gamble.
"Ha, so science can create a stone that science itself cannot lift?"
Constantine's words sounded like sarcasm, but his expression was very of seriousness.
This look seemed to have suddenly awakened his admiration for science, which made Reid relax a little.
"Science can't lift anything, but by using science, it can. For example, a stick long enough and a fulcrum can lift the unliftable ball under our feet."
Reed looked directly He spoke with Constantine's eyes and even did some popular science.
Constantine laughed directly under such gaze.
“That’s great, but has science told you where you should go to find a stick long enough?”
When Constantine spoke, he did it intentionally or unintentionally. He glanced at Johnny, who was still lying on the sofa.
Something interesting seems to be happening to this second-generation Human Torch. It's just that the real fun hasn't begun yet.
Now Constantine has more important things to do.
"As long as I can find a way to mobilize energy, I can find any kind of stick I want."
Reed's words were a bit tough. In his eyes, the world is full of those kinds of sticks. As long as the "stick" can find a way to exploit it, it is enough. He believed he could do it, or in other words, Reed believed there was nothing he couldn't do.
In the field of science, Reed may really be able to call himself "god".
"Awesome, now I need a god, so you want to say that you can take on the role of this 'god'?"
Constantine's eyes showed unabashed expectation!
He is waiting for this answer!
Nick Fury felt that he needed to stop him immediately. Constantine's feeling that his goal was about to be achieved made him feel that things were a little out of control!
But he found that he could not open his mouth at all, and everything that happened in front of him was like a dream.
As the king of agents, he can wake up by his own will even in dreams, but now, he is as powerless as when he was a child facing a nightmare.
Tony on the side seemed to realize something.
Those guys who know something about Constantine know that making a promise to Constantine is sometimes no better than signing a contract with a devil.
This guy always has a way of getting guys who promise him something to fulfill their responsibilities.
As a debt collector, Constantine, a scumbag, is even more professional than the devil in hell!
In contrast, his ability to default on debts was equally outstanding.
But like Nick Fury, he can't do anything, as if everything happening in front of him is separated by a veil, he can see it but cannot participate!
As for the other people present, it was exactly the same, because Constantine’s hand had already grasped the sandbag!
“One condition!”
Reed said seriously. He was not aware of what was happening around him yet. As a scientist, he seemed to be a little slow about mysterious things.
In Reid's eyes, this was already a negotiation, and negotiation was not unfamiliar to Reid.
He also has something he wants to get from Constantine, not something like the ring in Tony's hand, but a little guarantee.
In addition to being an excellent researcher, his friend and old enemy Dr. Doom is also a powerful mage.
Because of Johnny, Dr. Doom didn't have time to take care of it.
In order to fight Dr. Doom, who might become a demon, Reed needs the help of a mage.
Time is urgent, and he doesn't want to become a magical dead man because of the arrival of Dr. Doom before he has developed a way to resist magic.
"I need you..." Before Reed could finish speaking, Constantine's voice rang out.
"Yes, as long as you agree to my conditions, I will be yours today. If you are still willing to pay a little money, then please don't treat me as a human being today."
Constantine His face was flushed with excitement.
Then Constantine raised the back of his hand and showed it to Mr. Fantastic Reed, who felt a slight pain on the back of his hand and blood flew out at a glance.
The blood of the two people mixed together in mid-air, and then returned to each other's side.
Reed is a pretty charming guy, and at least to Constantine, a successful scientist "friend" is also pretty attractive.
A vein jumped on Reid's forehead.
It wasn't because Constantine was irritated, nor was it because of blood loss.
The blood lost could not even reach the amount of blood at one time. He was nervous because he found a strange pattern on his hand.
And there was exactly the same one on the back of Constantine's hand when he raised it up to show him!
"Then! The deal is done! Tonight, I am yours~"
Constantine said with a smile, then took out a Silka cigarette and stuffed it into his mouth , and even gave Reed a wink.
It was only then that the rest of the people were in a dreamlike state.
"Reed, you..."
Susan's expression was a little strange. Of course, she didn't misunderstand that Reed was a "Gay", but she understood that Reed had been tricked by Constantine!
At that moment, Mr. Fantastic's IQ was successfully brought down to the level of a scumbag by a scumbag, and then he experienced an IQ failure.
This experience is a bit bizarre...
"Constantine! You are a consultant of SHIELD, who asked you to do this!"
Nick Fury shows Out of anger, there is also the majesty of being the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Although he understands that this "contract" has been reached and he can't change anything, this does not prevent him from expressing his position!
Constantine is useful, but also dangerous.
Asking Constantine for help is not a wise choice, but Reed is a good candidate!
Getting even a small amount of gratitude from Reed will have a positive effect on everything that may happen next!
"Well, I'm not an advisor to SHIELD today, I'm Mister Fantastic's guy, for today only of course. So, great Director of SHIELD, I'm calling in sick today!"
Constantine gave his response with a mean smile.
"Constantine, please tell us about your contract in detail. Now that the contract has been reached, I want to know what you agreed on."
Rumlow put his feet on He placed it on the table and rocked back and forth on the legs of the chair beneath him.
He didn't much care how angry Nick Fury was or what he thought.
Now he only cares about whether there is anything bad in the contract that Constantine deceived Reed into.
To be a good person, you only need to be yourself, but to be a redeemer and a hero, you can't do without "meddling in other people's business".
So when Rumlow was shaking early, he took out the mace and slapped it on the other hand.
Facing Rumlow's unabashed attitude, Constantine still smiled.
"It's very simple. The great Mr. Fantastic will help me when I need it. This is his mercy as a 'god'. And I will temporarily give everything I have to him, only for the time being. Today.
If he wants to climb into my bed, or I can climb into his bed, I can give him the most professional service.
I bet that even Tony has never experienced this kind of service. You know, although the magazine cover girls are good at it, they certainly don't have all the skills I know. "
As Constantine spoke, he took a deep breath from the cigarette, and the cigarette burned directly during this deep kiss.
Constantine did not mention the content of the contract. The most deceptive thing is that he didn't say much about his responsibilities.
This contract magic was learned from the original demons, which is not necessarily a good thing for both parties.
>
His mastery of magic is very complex, but it cannot be said to be proficient.
"So, if Reed asks you to bring Dr. Doom to him today, you have to do it?"
Rumlow glanced at Constantine, seeming to want to start from Constantine saw some panic in his eyes.
These are just guesses, but judging from what Reed needs to do, this contract definitely has many restrictions on Constantine.
Especially since he has compressed all his responsibilities into "today", this restrictive force is likely to be so powerful that Constantine is completely unable to resist.
Rumlow doesn’t know much about magic, but he knows that contracts are relative! He didn't think Constantine could modify the binding force of the contract at all!
"Yes, but I can't guarantee that I can do it. Because I am not a 'god' and I am not 'omnipotent' at all, so I will try my best to do what I can do."
Constantin continued to smile, then refilled his cigarette.
As Constantine finished speaking, the room became silent.
The focus now is no longer what price Constantine needs to pay, but what Reed will do for Constantine!
Like a "god" who is omnipotent and helps Constantine? Can Reid really do it?
And to what extent are there any restrictions in this damn contract, and what are the penalties for breach of contract?
Constantine is a scumbag, and he himself will not deny this assessment!
Today is in good condition, and I have completed the guaranteed 6,000-word update.
I continue to work hard to overcome difficulties.
