I'm in Cthulhu

Chapter 27: News that shocked the world

The next morning, the lazy sunshine shone on Luo Ji through the cool air. He leisurely opened the refrigerator, which was not very perfect in this era, and looked at the things stored inside.

An unknown woman left here a French brand of yogurt, an ancient root beer drink, and milk that was still a few days away from expiration.

With only these three items, Luo Ji glanced briefly, found the target milk, took it out, and sat back on the comfortable wooden chair in the office.

The process of pouring milk from a box into a glass cup was similar to putting jam on bread, and Luo Ji felt a peaceful joy and a sense of independence from the world.

After taking a sip of pure white milk, he leaned back in his chair and sighed in his heart about the beauty of salted fish life.

This is the so-called calm before the storm.

Opening up the newspaper that Wilder, the number one toolman, had delivered early in the morning, Luo Ji took advantage of the sunlight coming in from the window and looked at the sensational news above that had caused an uproar around the world.

"Dreams shattered? Known as Captain America and the super soldier who perfectly embodies the American spirit, Steve Rogers was attacked by that kind of monster recently. His face was covered with black lines of shame and he ran away in embarrassment. ?”

"This unfortunate incident can't help but remind people of the Silent Society's announcement to the world a few days ago, saying that they already have the means to fight against the monsters in ancient myths. The result?"

"Until now, the professors and scholars of the Silent Society have still not responded positively to this incident. The disappointed people have turned to the military government for hope, but they still have not received any positive response."

“In this inhumane incident, which shepherd’s leader should the masses, as confused as lambs, follow?”

Under various front-page headlines about Steve and Silence, there were various news about World War II under the distortion of the current situation. Luo Ji thought that his intervention as a third-party force would temporarily stop this world-class war. meeting.

At the beginning, the situation of the war was indeed changing in the direction he thought, but it seemed that because it was too complicated and involved, it actually bottomed out and rebounded in this situation. The flames of war have actually picked up in the past few days. the trend of.

However, Luo Ji didn't want to be too prolific in this strange war with unclear interests. He had only one goal at this time, and that was to complete the "Silence" incident.

While he was reading the newspaper and drinking milk, Howard walked into the office.

After resting for an afternoon, he finally completed the equipment he had been working on all night under Luo Ji's instructions, and he had already taken a taxi to the church.

Howard opened the topic first: "Good morning...Boss. You really made Steve an international embarrassment. If he knew who did it, he would be furious and seek revenge."

"This is a sacrifice that must be made, but I think Steve, with such a noble character and quality, shouldn't care so much about reputation. Anyway, there will be many opportunities for him to prove himself in the future," Luo Ji responded.

After a pause, he continued: "And, the home of this planet is the 21st century, World War II? When Steve stood between high-rise buildings and locked the aliens' necks, no one would care about the stain of age. "

After hearing Luo Ji's words, Howard did not respond immediately. The other person's words contained a huge amount of information, which aroused many exciting associations in him. Even he had to digest it a little.

After being transformed with magic power, Howard, who has become more mysterious, has become immune to the strange characteristics of silence. This is a method Luo Ji specially developed for his subordinates while taking a break from his busy schedule while drinking afternoon tea.

Therefore, Howard vaguely understood that his new boss was extremely special, the kind of special person on a cosmic level.

In addition, the "21st century" that often appeared in Luo Ji's words also made Howard think a lot.

When he was in front of him, Howard couldn't help but sigh: "I still can't believe you really did it. I mean, you almost teased everyone, including me. They were all kept in the dark. As a pawn in your plan, Promote the development and improvement of that major event..."

"It's not a big deal, actually. This otherworldly planet is as helpless to me as a deer in the headlights... Just ignore some perverted giant bear lurking in the deer's fur..."

Luo Ji was referring to Ancient One. This supreme mage had to be visited by him in person. Letting Schmidt go would mean death. After the work of Silence was over, he planned to visit Kama Taj.

After a pause, he continued:

"90.00% of the people in this country believe in ghosts, and less than one-third believe in the theory of evolution. 30.00% of the people can recognize Homer Simpson and the town where he lives at a glance, but they know Thurgood Marshall's Less than one percent.”

"Of course, Howard, because of my existence, ghosts with extraordinary significance have become real, but if you don't know me, then it is more in line with your wisdom to agree with my argument."

Howard pondered for a while and responded: "I understand what you mean, and I do agree with your last sentence, but... who is Homer Simpson? Is he a powerful person? Even the town with him is famous. In addition, I seem to have heard the name Thurgood Marshall, but I don’t remember it clearly..."

"Of course you don't know that this passage will only become meaningful in the 21st century, but I am too lazy to replace the characters in it with characters that fit this era... You can think of this sentence as a symbolic sentence."

Luo Ji put down the newspaper and said with a salty fish temperament.

Howard did not continue this topic. He once again noticed the frequent occurrence of "21st century" and was extremely interested in it. He planned to find an opportunity to talk about this topic after finishing his business.

Howard stood up and said, "Boss, the clothes you asked me to make as soon as possible have been completed. I can take you to see them now."

"Very well, let's go."

Without hesitation, Luo Ji got up and followed Howard out of the church, taking a taxi to a private testing base in the suburbs of New York.

In addition to being a top genius, Howard is also a businessman with great business acumen. He has many private laboratories around the world, and one of them, hidden in the suburbs of New York, is currently the most suitable base.

Sitting in the taxi, Howard yawned and said that he needed to sleep first. He had been a double agent for the past two days and had two identities at the same time.

According to Luo Ji, Howard did not resign from his position at the New York Science Strategic Base. On the one hand, it was suspicious to resign at this juncture, and on the other hand, his becoming one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D. would give Luo Ji more control in the future. space.
