Autumn has arrived in New York. After the summer heat wave has dissipated, the sky has begun to become bluer and the wind has become cooler. However, in this bustling international metropolis, few people are in the mood to stop and feel the changes in the weather.
The bustling traffic was faster and faster than the morning breeze. After the iced coffee was withdrawn from the market, the hot coffee held in the hands of the elite employees in suits and ties, accompanied by their hurried footsteps, lost its heat just like autumn.
The busiest in this busy city is the famous Wall Street.
This street stretches from southern Manhattan to Broadway and once housed the headquarters of the New York Stock Exchange and various banks. It was extremely glorious in the last century.
But today, the symbolic significance of this street has become greater than its actual significance. It is more like a financial symbol of the country. After the changes of the times, no bank has set up its headquarters here, and most of them have moved there.
Zhongcheng District has better development prospects.
This street may disappoint tourists from out of town because its total length is very short and the street is very narrow. When people pass through it, it feels like the high-rise buildings on both sides are falling over.
The only thing I can find solace in is leaning against a building with a mottled exterior wall, imagining the scene of a classic car from the last century parked on the side of the road, with the morning breeze passing through the street, cooling the coffee in my hand.
At the end corner of Wall Street, a gun salute was fired, and the banners on the flower baskets shone golden in the sun, but the pedestrians passing by seemed unaware of it, as if there was a barrier between all this excitement and the real world.
"Nice to meet you, Dr. Schiller." Loki stood under the steps in front of the door, smiled and shook hands with Schiller.
He was wearing the most common white shirt with a dark green tie hanging on his chest. Small prints could be seen under the sunlight. From the watch on his wrist to the leather shoes on his feet, they were all favorites of stock managers.
brand.
If his name was not spoken, almost no one would realize that he was not actually a Wall Street clerk, or even a person from Earth.
After Schiller let go of Loki's hand, he said, "I really didn't expect that in just over a month, you would have completely adapted to this place."
"Thanks to the recent slump in the stock market, I haven't had a day off this month. Even the coffee must be finished within three sips." Rocky said with a smile.
Schiller shook his head and looked at Loki, feeling very emotional.
About a month ago, on the eve of Odin, the father of the gods, announcing that he was going to sleep, he threw his youngest son Loki to the Ancient One.
The reason was that Loki had eaten a lot of energy and needed to be digested. He needed someone to keep an eye on him while he was digesting. Odin had to prepare for bed and couldn't take care of him, so he left him to be fostered by Ancient One.
The ancient book accepted Odin's request based on the principle that one sheep is herded and two sheep are herded.
Then Gu Yi discovered that she was really not good at raising children. There were still big leaks in the universe waiting for her to pick them up. If she didn't pick them up, it would be a loss. So she threw Loki to Strange and let the two of them
I practice at Kama Taj.
What's very amazing is that Loki and Strange can talk together quite well. Their family backgrounds are somewhat similar. Loki has always felt that Odin is partial to Thor, and Strange's father has always been partial to him.
Brother, the two of them have a lot in common in their personalities. To put it simply, their moral bottom lines are relatively similar.
Therefore, after living in Kama Taj for a period of time, the two of them got along pretty well, and a wolf and a wolf got along well. You can imagine what will happen next.
The two made a bet at Kama Taj, betting on the outcome of the war between the hell lords. Loki used the contacts he had accumulated in the past to recruit people from all over the world to gamble online.
When the news reached Saka Star, Gao Tianzun, who was keen on gambling, did not take it seriously at first. As a self-proclaimed gambling sage, he did not bother to participate in such a gambling game at the urban-rural fringe level.
When Loki heard that he would not participate, he immediately became unhappy. You, Gao Tianzun, call customer service every day, and now that the handicap has been opened, you don't give any face. Is this too much? He rolled up his sleeves and ran to Saka.
The star has gone.
The so-called expert can tell if something is wrong as soon as he makes a move. Loki's deception skills are not limited. In the original work, Thanos was deceived by him. He traveled to Sakaar for two days, and Gao Tianzun was deceived and became lame.
Not a small bet.
Afterwards, Strange approached Mephisto, the Lord of Hell, and the two jointly engaged in a fake physical competition, and Gao Tianzun almost lost his pants.
Gao Tianzun, who never admits defeat in a bet, originally planned to refuse the bill, but Strange took Dormammu's apostle Mordo to go to Saka and knock on the door. Gao Tianzun weighed the gap between himself and Dormammu, gritted his teeth and paid the bill.
.
After the account was collected, Dormammu and Mephisto each received 20%, and the remaining 60% fell into their hands.
Strange and Rocky saw how quickly the money came in, so the two embarked on their path of telecommunications fraud.
They used deceit, deceit, and evil methods to do whatever they could. After succeeding several times, the two of them really gained a lot of energy.
Although the two of them have a low moral limit, their level of strength is not high. After getting the energy, the two were eager to deal with it. As a result, due to improper handling techniques, an energy explosion was caused, which directly blew up the temple of Kama Taj.
There were holes and holes in the protective shield.
When he came back from training, he found that his house had collapsed, so he threw the two of them out. Loki wanted to go back to Asgard, but Heimdall, who was guarding the Rainbow Bridge, went into seclusion and digested it. Loki couldn't go back for the time being, so he just wanted to go back to Asgard.
Strange can once again defect to Earth.
So Strange took Loki to seek refuge with Schiller.
Schiller didn't want to care at all about this duo of cosmic liars working together, but Strange secretly gave Schiller a 20% red envelope, and Schiller turned a blind eye and let Loki stay in the nursing home to work.
Because Schiller's sanatorium was also located in southern Manhattan, very close to Wall Street, Rocky soon discovered that he had a job that was more interesting to him than being a doctor.
Loki has always relied on his talent to deceive, without any systematic theoretical knowledge. After collaborating with Strange, the two of them figured out some rules, but they were still not systematic.
Rocky, who would pass by the New York Stock Exchange and major banks every day after get off work from the nursing home, suddenly discovered that fraud can also become an industry.
He suddenly realized that his situation was still small.
Loki has an advantage. When he wholeheartedly wants to achieve something, he cannot learn it. He can let go of his pride, his principles can be flexible, and his bottom line can be adjusted. In general
In other words, face is optional.
He found Strange, and after the two once again conducted an unspeakable conspiracy, Loki became a glorious securities broker and embarked on his own journey of enlightenment on earth.
Loki was very busy after he came to Earth, and Strange was not idle either. After the fight with the rioters, the Holy of Holies and the commercial street of Greenwich Village were reduced to ruins. Although because of S.H.I.E.L.D.
The evacuation was organized in advance and there were no casualties, but the building must have been completely destroyed.
It is unknown whether Nick solved his fall funding problems during this war, but he generously offered to find a new building for the Holy of Holies.
In Strange's original imagination, in the future, his residence should be far away from human settlements, preferably like Kama Taj, in a deep mountain forest that is difficult for ordinary humans to visit.
But judging from the current situation, the Holy of Holies is only ten meters away from Wall Street, which can be called a pearl in the dust, and just a street away, it is a separation of flesh and blood in the fraud world.
As a result, the Holy of Holies has become an integral part of Wall Street since ancient times. The new location was chosen on the corner of Wall Street and covered up with magic.
Greenwich Village began a vigorous reconstruction, and the relocated Holy of Holies solved most of its problems in just one month and was ready to reopen.
On the day of the ribbon-cutting ceremony, many strange people came, such as a stunt motorcycle rider wearing a jacket. When Strange walked up to shake hands with Johnny, he looked him up and down and said with some surprise: "I'm still here."
I didn’t expect that you would still be quite handsome after having muscles and skin.”
Johnny didn't look like he wanted to come at all. He exuded a perfunctory temperament. Obviously, the Ghost Rider was forced to work overtime to attend the entertainment again.
As soon as Strange sent him in, he found that his senior brother Modu and Red Tank had also arrived. As he was busy greeting him, he saw Schiller in front of the door getting out of the car. He quickly asked Luo beside him
Ji went to pick someone up.
This also led to the scene of Rocky and Schiller chatting happily in the corner of Wall Street.
Steve, who walked into the Holy of Holies, was wearing a very smart suit, but he was confused. He looked at the building up and down and said: "Why does this place look exactly like the stock exchange of my time? It's not that here.
Is it the New York stronghold of the Supreme Mage? Does this have anything to do with the Mage?"
A salesman in charge of reception came up with a smile on his face. He looked at the invitation in Steve's hand and said enthusiastically: "Mr. Rogers, right? Welcome, Mr. Strange is busy now. If
If you don’t mind, go to the back and wait for a while, the ribbon-cutting ceremony will begin soon..."
Steve was holding back his questions and didn't know where to start, but he still followed the guide and walked in.
Peter, who had just stepped onto the stairs, only saw Steve's back. He wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Strange who came over. Strange looked at Peter and said, "You didn't bring your girlfriend."
are you coming?"
"Gwen? How could I bring her here?"
"How am I going to explain to her that I know Stark, Captain America, and other big shots? You know, yesterday she was worried that I wouldn't be able to afford food..."
Peter and Strange walked back together, and Strange asked him, "Are you going to keep hiding this from your girlfriend?"
Peter scratched his hair in distress and said, "I don't want to do this either, but I really can't find a good time to speak."
"This sounds so ridiculous. I want to tell her that I am Spider-Man. Apart from school and home, the place I go to most often is the advanced laboratory in Stark Tower. I go for a morning run with Captain America every morning.
, today I came to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the Earth’s Supreme Mage’s Holy Sanctuary, and the first person I met when I entered the door was an alien prince…”
Strange patted Peter on the shoulder and said, "If you really say that, we will see you in the mental sanatorium before long."
After Peter also entered, it was Stark who arrived belatedly. He looked at the internal structure of the Holy of Holies and looked very disappointed. He said to Strange: "You made the Holy of Holies look like the 1990s.
Just like the stock exchange in the 1960s, is it your taste that is unique...or is it your taste that is unique?"
"Practicality is the priority." Strange said helplessly: "I don't want to do this either, but if we don't adopt the structure of the stock exchange, where will the salesmen with so many wires stay? On the head of the magic crucible?"
Strange glanced at Stark's chest. Although he couldn't see anything through his clothes, he still asked: "Have you solved the trouble on your chest?"
"That's right." Stark's tone was brisk.
"Because I suddenly realized that the things I was struggling with were completely meaningless, so I replaced the Ark reactor with a new one this morning."
Stark spoke quickly: "You don't even know what I saw. I discovered that I was really stupid before."
At this time, Loki and Schiller also walked over from the door. Schiller took out a pen from his pocket and pressed the button. Stark's voice came from inside: "I discovered that I used to be
It’s so stupid…”
Schiller pressed the button again, and a voice came from inside again: "I realized that I was really stupid in the past..."
"Click, I realized that I was really stupid in the past..."
Strange quickly stopped Stark who stretched out his fist and said, "Calm down, you don't have a magic reactor now!"
Schiller turned the recording pen around and said happily: "This is a once-in-a-century windfall. It seems that opportunities always leave to those who are prepared."
Before Stark could scold him, Schiller continued: "Don't worry, I will save it for your wedding."
"Seriously." Strange changed the subject and asked Stark: "What on earth did you see?"
Stark pursed his lips and just kept walking forward. Schiller said to Strange from behind: "Although the magic reactor is out of power, the most important thing is never the reactor."
"You're right." As Stark walked forward, he looked back and stretched out a finger, saying: "Those meaningless things are not important anymore. What about Howard, the Ark Reactor...who cares!"
"Stark moves on, friends!"
After saying that, he quickly moved forward and threw away the two people behind him.
Schiller asked Strange in a low voice: "What is the situation in the universe?"
"Exactly what we expected."
The impact of Nar's serving of food was both large and small.
The main reason why this matter is not serious is that the definition of devil in the universe is very broad, but there are a few basic principles.
First, these powerful creatures did not evolve from civilization. They are completely different from the human race, the Aesir, the dwarves or the symbionts. They survive in the universe as individuals and do not exist themselves.
society and civilization.
The second is that most of them are born from the power of the universe. Their birth is not through a long evolution, but because certain forces in the universe awaken their consciousness.
The third is that theoretically, their lifespan is unlimited. As long as they are not killed, they can live until death.
Whether it is Mephisto, Cytorak or Dormammu, they all meet these criteria, so they are also members of the Demon God.
However, not every demon god who meets these criteria can be as powerful as the three mentioned above. Most of them are not large in size in the universe. The composition of these demon gods is still pyramid-shaped as a whole, and can reach
The strength of the Dimension Demon is only a fraction.
Because many demon gods are not strong enough, they have no resistance to disasters in the universe, and there are often various natural disasters in the universe, such as the sudden collapse of a certain dimension or the sudden explosion of a certain universe. After such an accident, many demon gods are
Once they are dead, the surrounding demon gods will gather to carve up their corpses.
Therefore, the accident involving the explosion of the Nar power channel is not uncommon in the universe, but in the past, it was a natural disaster, but this time it was a man-made disaster.
Although it was a man-made disaster, not many people knew the truth, and the scope of damage caused was not very large. Although more fish were affected, it was still within a reasonable range.
Therefore, this incident did not cause any big ripples at the multiverse level.
The only thing that can be said to be influential is that Ancient One contacted Eternity through the Eye of Agamotto to discuss retirement matters. Eternity asked her a little confused: "The power of chaos at the origin of the universe has been greatly lost recently. You
Do you have any clues?"
