Marvel: Randomly load a protagonist template

Chapter 33 The S.H.I.E.L.D. Murder Case

"Loading Harry Potter protagonist template!"

As the triangular wing of S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters came into view, Hawking silently put himself into the Harry Potter mold.

A wizard's robe, a flying broom, an invisibility cloak, and a magic wand appeared simultaneously in his hands.

"Hawking, our main task this time is to hand over Stryker and the evidence of his assassination attempt on the president to S.H.I.E.L.D. It's best to avoid any unnecessary conflicts with them."

Upon seeing Hawking activate his abilities, Professor X immediately offered a reminder.

Hawking smiled very obediently:

"Professor, I know. I'm just being prepared, so that if I find out they have ulterior motives, I can be ready to retaliate immediately."

Professor X nodded upon hearing this, agreeing that it made sense.

"Mr. Stryker must be thirsty too. Here, have some water."

At that moment, Hawking suddenly took out a bottle of water from the empty space next to him and slowly unscrewed it.

"What a kind child."

Professor X showed an appreciative expression and temporarily released Stryker, who had been frozen in place by his power.

Although Stryker was despicable, Hawking appreciated that he was able to put aside his prejudices and offer him water.

Mystique, who was driving, and Magneto, who was in the passenger seat, exchanged a silent glance after hearing the commotion behind them, and began to observe the situation behind them out of the corner of their eye through the rearview mirror.

Previously, Hawking had asked him for help with a poison that could be instantly fatal if ingested in water, saying it was to kill Stryker.

He now sensed that Hawking was about to take some action.

He just couldn't understand why, if he poisoned Stryker now, Charles would definitely be angry, and it would be difficult to explain to S.H.I.E.L.D., which seemed inconsistent with Hawking's intelligence as a child.

But it doesn't matter. If there's a rift between Hawking and Charles, he can just step in as a third party, which isn't a bad thing.

Or did Hawking have any other ideas?

"Flavoid!"

Using his large wizard robes as cover, Hawking poured a small tube of blue liquid into the mineral water bottle the instant he unscrewed it, then gently waved his wand at the bottle and quietly cast a Transfiguration spell.

The mineral water, which had been turned blue by the poison, instantly returned to its pure, transparent color.

He then smiled and handed the restored bottle of mineral water to Stryker, who had just regained control of his body.

Stryker grabbed the water bottle and gulped it all down.

He had been kept under Professor X's watchful eye the whole way, without food or water, and was now both hungry and thirsty.

Seeing that Stryker had finished drinking the water, Professor X, fearing he might cause trouble, immediately used his powers to freeze him in place again.

Magneto, however, narrowed his eyes upon seeing this.

"Have they given up? No, something's definitely wrong!"

The blue liquid he sent Mystique away from the academy to retrieve was a highly toxic poison; a single drop would kill a normal person instantly.

If it wasn't poisoned, given Hawking's personality, he wouldn't have been so kind as to feed Stryker water. But if it was poisoned, why was Stryker perfectly fine after drinking it?

Given that Hawking had just suddenly activated his ability, he could only guess that Hawking had used some kind of ability that he didn't understand.

"Done."

Seeing Stryker drink the bottle of mineral water in one gulp, Hawking knew his plan had succeeded.

Actually, killing Stryker is quite simple; the key is to prevent Professor X from finding out and to prevent S.H.I.E.L.D. from finding out.

So Stryker can only die after they leave S.H.I.E.L.D., which is a bit of a problem.

So he took stock of all the magic Harry remembered learning at school.

Magic in the Harry Potter world is amazing, and some spells have distinctive characteristics when cast.

For example, the Killing Curse produces a green beam of light, the Disarming Curse a blue beam, the Explosion Curse a red beam, the Rope Curse a rope that flies out, and the Arrow Curse a shot arrow.

Some spells have no obvious symptoms when cast; as long as the wand is not too close to the enemy at the end, it will work.

It's like the Restoration Spell, Levitation Spell, Transformation Spell, Full Body Binding Spell, Sleep Spell, and so on.

There are also a very small number of spells that don't even require aiming the wand, like the summoning spell Harry used to summon his flying broom from his dorm room when he subdued the Dragonstone in the Goblet of Fire.

As long as you think about that thing, you can summon it to your side within a certain range.

Of course, this is on the premise that no one can stop you, and that it cannot be in a completely enclosed space.

However, considering that even within S.H.I.E.L.D., if he used asymptomatic magic to cause Stryker's death, he would be immediately identified by Nick Fury, it is speculated that they used some kind of mutant ability to kill Stryker.

Therefore, after some thought, he decided to use a Transfiguration spell to solve the problem.

The Transfiguration Charm is a type of magic that can change the shape of an object.

Once this magic is mastered, it can transform inanimate objects into other inanimate objects, inanimate objects into living beings, living beings into inanimate objects, and living beings into other living beings.

Specifically, it's like turning a match into a needle, water into tea, or rum when you're in first grade.

In second grade, they turned beetles into buttons, rabbits into slippers, and tables into pigs.

I learned about Animagus in third grade, how humans transform into animals.

In fourth grade, I underwent a species transformation, from a guinea fowl to a guinea pig.

So even though Harry isn't particularly good at Transfiguration Charms, he can still easily do things like turning venom into pure water, which is something only first-year students can do.

The same applies after loading the template for Hawking.

As for why this is the case?

Then we have to talk about some of the characteristics of the Transfiguration spell.

The Transfiguration Charm follows the Gump Transfiguration Law, which contains many elements, but one of the most important is that things cannot be conjured out of thin air, especially food.

However, when transforming one thing into another, depending on the wizard's mastery of the Transfiguration Charm, there is a time limit; the transformation cannot be permanent, nor can it truly become another thing.

It's like Hawking turning Venom into pure water. When that pure water enters Stryker's stomach, it's pure water. But once the magic effect ends, the pure water will turn back into Venom.

Given Harry's mastery of the Transfiguration Charm, maintaining this effect for three to four hours shouldn't be a problem.

In other words, Stryker may seem perfectly fine now, but in three or four hours, once the Transfiguration Charm wears off, the water in his stomach will immediately turn into poison and kill him on the spot.

This is the magical murder case that Stephen Hawking prepared for S.H.I.E.L.D.!

The car stopped in front of the S.H.I.E.L.D. building. As soon as the five of them got out of the car, Agent Hill and a group of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents greeted them with smiles.

"We can take over William Stryker. Chief Fury is already waiting for the four of you in his top-floor office."

"No problem, please lead the way."

Professor X nodded and did not stop the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents from taking over Stryker.

Stryker didn't speak before being taken away, but his eyes revealed a hint of mockery, showing no concern whatsoever about falling into the hands of S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Charles, this is absolutely a mistake."

Magneto, who was standing nearby, squinted and shook his head, but soon he saw Hawking wink at him.
