I'm in an American comic book, and all my teammates are main characters and bosses.

Chapter 41: Mysterious Academic Style Emphasizing Rigor

Both are based on Norse mythology. Although it's not entirely certain, the Asgard universe in the Marvel Cinematic Universe might offer some insights into White Frost.

As he thought to himself, Ron stroked his chin.

Although Ron knew about Asgard, the Asgardians didn't know Ron. After much thought…

Ron: "Hey, are you there?"

Gu Yi: "Are you ever going to stop...?"

It turns out that the ancient one had extensive connections and a long-standing cooperative relationship with Asgard.

While the Ancient One was communicating with Asgard, on the other side, in a secluded base, Nick Fury's already not-so-fair face turned even darker as he watched the footage captured by the surveillance satellite.

Nick Fury knew nothing about the mental hospital. The main reason the surveillance satellites were used to discover this scene was due to Tony.

Since Tony narrowly escaped from the Ten Rings and developed the groundbreaking Iron Man suit, Nick Fury realized that the opportunity he had been waiting for could finally be launched—Tony was the most suitable member for the Avengers program, both in terms of ability and identity.

Putting aside other factors, his father, Howard Stark, was one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D. As Howard's son, Tony has impeccable credentials. It's just a pity that he was a playboy before all this. And after all these events, Nick Fury could sense that this playboy's mindset had changed somewhat.

As for why Nick Fury witnessed this scene… according to the captured terrorists, the silver-haired armored swordsman had used special magic during the battle. This magic not only unleashed powerful shockwaves but also bewitched others. It drove the Ten Rings leader insane on the spot and caused the Ten Rings' machine gunners to fire freely at their own men.

Nick Fury initially thought that someone with such mastery of mind control and thought manipulation would be an unapproachable oddball. However, after reading the conversation on Tony and the others' private plane back to New York, Nick quickly realized that this guy named Geralt was simply the most suitable person to become an Avenger.

Bad people only have bad friends, while good people have many friends.

In any case, it's absolutely worth it to be a good person.

Listen to that! This idea is absolutely brilliant! He looks like the kind of good warrior who would be willing to sacrifice his life to maintain peace on Earth!

Especially since these words came from the mouth of a superpowered individual, just hearing Nick Fury's penis get hard. He'd be doing himself a disservice if he didn't try to recruit him into the Avengers.

And now, damn it, I accidentally discovered that a whole bunch of monsters are hiding in Hell's Kitchen.

This Daredevil guy was one thing; S.H.I.E.L.D. already knew about the masked vigilante in Hell's Kitchen. However, considering that this masked vigilante's abilities were somewhat lacking and his fighting style was still melee combat, they didn't investigate further, simply filing a report without paying much attention.

But now...

"Coulson, you'd better explain to me why Daredevil's file is classified as E!"

Nick Fury threw the pen on the table, and for a moment he was just one step away from yelling "I'm so angry!" at the Führer.

"Furthermore, the evaluation is that his abilities are limited, he lacks superhuman strength, his combat methods are simplistic, and his level is based on a senior agent—I remember you were a senior agent too? Why don't you go to the octagon and fight him? If you win, I'll hand over the directorship to you!"

Upon hearing this, Coulson broke out in a bead of sweat the size of a soybean on his forehead, and his lips twitched slightly as he spoke.

"Agent Hill is in charge of these files..."

Upon hearing this, Nick Fury smirked, then picked up the pen with a look of utter disgust.

Maria Hill. Although she's known as Agent Hill within S.H.I.E.L.D., she's not on the same level as Nick Fury. During her military service, she earned the appreciation of several world leaders and was appointed Executive Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. by the five permanent members of the UN Security Council.

Although they all work under the same roof, they represent the views of other countries' leaders on maintaining world security, and these leaders' views on world peace are completely different from those of Nick Fury, an agent trained by S.H.I.E.L.D. itself.

Simply put, he is an imperial envoy sent by the Five Constants Corporation to inspect the realm on behalf of Heaven, an imperial inspector. Even if he really caused some problems, it's not something Nick Fury can deal with at will.

Seeing Lu Dan's face growing increasingly dark, Agent Coulson coughed lightly, offering to help alleviate the worry:

"I've done some research on the Multi-Psychiatric Hospital, and this is the information I've compiled, along with the latest developments."

As he spoke, Coulson handed the folder to Nick Fury. Upon opening the file, Nick Fury's expression turned serious.

It was originally an orphanage. At the same time, everyone was trapped in a strange dream. After their condition did not improve with treatment, they left the orphanage to seek treatment elsewhere and were cured naturally...

Thinking it over, Nick Fury nodded thoughtfully and said, "So, besides Geralt and the hospital director Ron, the only other people in the mental hospital right now are this patient who single-handedly subdued dozens of Hyena gang members last month, and a pregnant woman, right?"

"According to the information I've gathered, that's the case, but there's one thing I find very puzzling."

"Um?"

"About Ron," Coulson explained, "I'm looking for images of Ron, but strangely, I haven't found any images of Ron in any of the files."

"What about before?" Nick Fury asked. "Don't orphanages take group photos every year? And those charitable organizations, no matter what they do, they like to take photos to commemorate the occasion, so there's always a record, right?"

"no."

Coulson shook his head, his face also full of confusion, and said:

"I had thought of using some old photos to get visual information about Ron, but during the investigation I found that no matter what the information was, as long as it was about Ron, even if he only appeared in the photos, no matter how well the photos were preserved, the location of Ron would be blurred and distorted due to accidents, and there was no real and effective memory point."

"It's not just images. I asked some people who came from orphanages, but they all only vaguely remembered a maverick named Ron, but they had forgotten what he looked like and why he was maverick."

Upon hearing Coulson's words, Nick Fury was taken aback for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "So, this mental hospital director named Ron can't be captured by any technological means? Is it magic or technology? Hmm... it must be magic, technology can't affect the images left from the past."

"Yes, that explains why they always give the impression of having another unseen person present when viewed from surveillance satellites."

As Nick Fury thought about it, he felt a surge of excitement, feeling that his Avengers plan was about to succeed—as long as he could bring this group of people under the command of S.H.I.E.L.D., many crises would have more solutions!

If they were more generous and willing to share magical technology, would I still need to go to such lengths to try and get kickbacks from the Security Council and defraud insurance companies? I could just find some excuse, reveal some scraps, and swindle a large amount of research funding!

More importantly, if the intelligence is correct, the magical swordsman named Geralt in the mental hospital has saved Tony's life. In other words, if the mental hospital agrees to become part of the Avengers, then he can use Geralt's connections to persuade Tony to join as well!

With a burning desire, Nick Fury asked, "If that's the case, they shouldn't know about us right now, right?"

"I can't guarantee that either."

Coulson shook his head and said, "Mainly because I'm not very familiar with magic either."

Upon hearing this, he remained silent for a moment. Nick Fury reopened his eyes and said, "Then let's pay a visit to the owner of Hell's Kitchen tomorrow. I'll go personally, and you'll come along, to show our sincerity and respect."

"OK."

Coulson nodded to indicate that there was no problem.

The next morning, the two arrived at Hell's Kitchen early. Before they even got close, they heard the sounds of loading and unloading. Approaching the gates of the mental hospital, Nick Fury and Coulson looked at the scene before them with some confusion.

At the entrance of the mental hospital, Ron solemnly directed a group of workers hired by Tony and contacted by Geralt to plant old cotton trees that had been airlifted from an old farm in Mississippi, one of the states most deeply affected by slavery in the American South, along the old soil that had already been filled in along the outer wall of the mental hospital.

In the realm of mysticism, any substance or object imbued with a certain concept can serve as a medium for specific rituals. These old farm cotton trees, weathered by wind and rain, have acquired some extraordinary mystical characteristics due to their unique geographical location, environment, symbolic elements, and the influence of the regional collective unconscious.

The cotton trees were already planted, and Ron muttered to himself as he arranged fried chicken, watermelon, and grape soda around the mental hospital. He instinctively reached out, but after a moment's thought, he called Nakime out and stabbed her in the arm with a knife.

Nakime: "..."

The blood flowed, forming a huge, dark red ring that encircled the entire mental hospital under the influence of the procedure.

Seeing that the spell was complete, Ron nodded in satisfaction.

Just then, seeing that the matter was basically over, Nick Fury cleared his throat a few times and said, "Excuse me, is this Hell's Kitchen 666 Multipsychiatric Hospital?"

"No, you've got the wrong person," Ron said without batting an eye. "You mean the street across the street."

"..." Silence followed, then Nick Fury pointed to the door next to Ron: "The sign above says this is number 666."

The sign was torn off and then turned upside down and glued back on.

"You've got the wrong number, this is number 999."

Looking at Ron's calm face, Nick Fury couldn't help but take a deep breath. He wasn't angry, after all, people in his line of work often dealt with eccentric individuals. In comparison, at least Ron didn't directly try to kick him out.

"Mr. Ron, we mean no harm." As he spoke, Nick Fury produced his business card and identification.

"I come from the Strategic Homeland Defense, Attack and Logistics Agency, which, for convenience, can also be referred to as S.H.I.E.L.D. I've come to invite you to contribute your share to world peace. In return, we will grant you appropriate privileges and honors..."

"Sorry, I've recently developed a strange habit of calling any beautiful woman 'wife' and any hot guy 'Brother Ni'."

As they spoke, Geralt, having already packed his gear, walked out of the gate with Ciri, ready to depart for Asgard. Turning back, Ron waved to Ciri and greeted her with, "Hey, honey."

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Ciri was taken aback, but after glancing at Nick Fury's grim expression, she immediately understood that this was what her sister, the Divine Child, had said: "The Dean will have intermittent and unpredictable outbursts of madness." So she ignored it.

After finishing speaking, Ron turned his gaze to Nick Fury. Although his expression was calm and he didn't say a word, it seemed as if he had said everything that needed to be said.

His face darkened. But who was Nick Fury? This level of rejection was quickly absorbed, and he continued with a sincere expression, "Sir, please believe me, I have no ill intentions, I..."

Seeing Nick Fury's determined and persistent attitude, Ron showed a look of disgust. Just then, a portal to Kamar-Taj appeared nearby, leading to Asgard. Not wanting to waste time, Ron immediately activated his protective array of cotton candy, fried chicken, watermelon, and grape soda.

As the procedure began, Nick Fury felt his mind go blank. Then, a strong fear hidden in his blood washed away his reason. His rationality was suppressed, and his mind watched helplessly as his body revealed a stupid "guhehe" smile, drooling as he walked around Ron and picked cotton along the hospital wall.

Meanwhile, Coulson only paused for a moment before regaining his composure. Seeing the chief under control, a serious expression crossed his face as he drew his gun and said warily, "Please lift the mental interference on the chief! Otherwise, I will take further legal action..."

Before Coulson could finish speaking, Ron snapped his fingers again.

As the spell was activated, Coulson felt his mind go blank. Then, he felt an instinctive impulse hidden in his bloodline overwhelm his reason. His rationality was suppressed, and his mind looked at his own body and gave a stupid "guhehe" laugh. He drooled as he pulled out his belt and went to slap Nick Fury's buttocks.

Peter Parker, who came to participate in the volunteer activity, was stunned.
