Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

After all, Coulson's current appearance is even funnier than Nick Fury's, who was wearing a pink eye patch and had the words "pink hard-boiled egg" printed on his back! On the way to this conference room, many colleagues even took the time to pet Coulson, who had turned into a fur ball, out of curiosity.

Sherlock was also dumbfounded; this shouldn't be happening.

I did give Coulson a cross that fixed the Human Transmutation-Repair technique, so this shouldn't have happened.

Sherlock stepped forward, somewhat surprised, and spoke to Coulson.

"Just stand here and don't move. Let me check you out."

Hearing Sherlock's words, Coulson's 'eyes' started to twitch, and he said to Sherlock in an annoyed tone.

"Thank you, I've read the article about back views on Rabbit's site!"

Sherlock didn't care at all and decisively activated the Analysis of Everything to check Coulson's condition. Soon, under the Analysis of Everything, Sherlock had a certain understanding of Coulson's condition.

Well, the world is full of wonders. The direct reason that led Coulson to become like this is actually very simple: Coulson wore the cross under his shirt, outside his sweater!

So much so that when the cross was being repaired, it was assumed that Coulson's clothes were also part of Coulson. As a result, during the repair, the alchemy was activated and directly turned Coulson's clothes into the most primitive material, which was then allowed to grow onto Coulson's body, leading to this farcical incident.

After hearing Sherlock's analysis, Tony, with an unusually wild imagination, asked Sherlock a question.

"So, theoretically speaking, Coulson is running around naked right now, right?"

After hearing Tony's words, Sherlock thought for a moment and then nodded seriously.

"Theoretically speaking, that's how it is, or you can understand it as this big fur ball being Coulson's clothes! And according to my examination, Coulson is still not out of danger, so I suggest you stay in the hospital for observation for a while."

Human transformation requires a vast amount of energy. The energy originally sealed within that cross should have been sufficient to support the repair process, but because you've become a furball, your body fat percentage is now almost zero.

Upon hearing Sherlock's words, a suppressed laugh rippled through the conference room.

Only Coulson, hidden beneath his long black fur, was flushed. If Sherlock hadn't pointed it out, Coulson, now a large fur ball, wouldn't have realized he wasn't wearing any clothes.

However, it was clear that Sherlock had no intention of letting Coulson off the hook. His next words broke down the defenses of this veteran agent, and suppressed laughter filled the conference room.

"As for the hair on your body, you don't need to worry too much. Hair removal technology is quite advanced now. However, if you want to solve the problem once and for all, I still recommend that you use waxing. Of course, it will hurt a little."

"fxxk!"

Upon hearing Sherlock's words, Coulson was furious. He cursed and turned to leave the conference room, followed by a chorus of jeers from the crowd eager to see him get his hair removed.

Chapter 191 The Show Begins (Part 1)

As Coulson left, the relaxed atmosphere in the conference room gradually dissipated, leaving only endless silence. After all, the current situation was not good news for anyone present.

They not only lost Loki, but also Thor and Banner!

The only good news is that Hawkeye has broken free from Loki's control and returned to the team, bringing with him a piece of good news that is hardly good news.

Loki seems to have Dr. Erik creating something, and the reason he chose to be captured was merely to buy time for Erik and his team.

Unfortunately, while Hawkeye knew what Loki was creating, he didn't know what that thing actually was.

Seeing that the operation against Loki had once again stalled, Blackie had no choice but to produce all of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s research reports on the Tesseract. When the remaining people saw the research reports, almost none of them gave Blackie a friendly look.

This includes Captain America, Black Widow, and Hawkeye, who are closest to Egg.

Everyone present knew that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s research on the Tesseract was the Avengers' Plan B, Earth's last line of defense after the Avengers' failure. Although neither Tony nor Captain America liked the plan, its strategic significance could not be denied.

What was truly unacceptable to everyone was that while S.H.I.E.L.D. was researching how to use the immense energy within the Tesseract to create weapons, they also noticed the Tesseract's ability to influence space.

Furthermore, since Red Skull's remains were not found when Captain America was awakened, it is clear that S.H.I.E.L.D. was actually trying to awaken the Tesseract while simultaneously researching weapons using the Tesseract.

Loki's invasion was essentially caused by S.H.I.E.L.D. successfully activating the Tesseract!

Everyone present could accept the responsibility of protecting the Earth, and even accept the existence of a Plan B after themselves, but they absolutely could not accept having to clean up S.H.I.E.L.D.'s messes at any time.

Despite his anger, the information also gave Tony a new perspective.

"Judging from the contents of the document, activating the Cosmic Cube requires a lot of energy, and no matter what our little Bambi wants to do, there are only a few places in New York that can provide the Cosmic Cube with the necessary energy."

And the most suitable place is..."

At this point, Tony paused for a moment, his expression instantly becoming incredibly interesting. He sprang up from his chair like a spring and immediately rushed towards the room where he kept his armor, saying as he ran.

"F*** you! My building!!!"

With Tony leading the way, the rest of them naturally knew what to do. Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Captain America almost immediately ran to the helipad of the Helicopter, and followed Tony in their Harrier jets towards New York.

Sherlock, however, remained calm and composed, sitting in the conference room with Doro in his arms, staring blankly at Black Egg.

After a while, Sherlock coughed and asked the black-boiled egg.

"Tony now owns a building in New York?"

Seeing that Sherlock hadn't taken any action, Black Egg had probably considered at least a hundred topics that Sherlock and he could discuss in private, but he never expected that Sherlock would ask such a question.

After a moment of hesitation, Black Egg answered Sherlock's question somewhat stiffly.

"I bought it around Christmas last year, and it was only recently renovated. What's wrong?"

Upon hearing Black Egg's answer, Sherlock experienced firsthand what the gap between the rich and the poor truly meant since his transmigration.

Although he had achieved financial freedom through alchemy, he was still far behind a tycoon like Tony! Damn it, this was the first time Sherlock had ever heard of someone spending money to buy a building!

Struggling to control his twitching eyes, Sherlock waved to the black-haired egg and said.

"It's okay, I'm leaving."

After saying that, he stood up and wanted to leave, but it was obvious that Black Egg did not want to miss such a rare opportunity for a private conversation, so he quickly stood in front of Sherlock and blocked Sherlock's way.

“Mr. Sherlock…”

Before Black Egg could finish speaking, Sherlock interrupted him by raising his hand. Without any hesitation, Sherlock took out the Anywhere Door from his four-dimensional pocket and spoke to Black Egg before opening it.

"When I was repairing the No. 3 engine, I disabled all the monitoring systems inside the entire space carrier, so I'm not afraid that our conversation will be overheard by people who shouldn't be listening."

Eggshell, even if you come to me a hundred times, my answer will still be to refuse any cooperation with your S.H.I.E.L.D. I don't like your personality, and another reason is that your S.H.I.E.L.D. is far from as clean as it seems!

Besides, I don't believe you didn't check the necklace I gave Coulson; my technology is something S.H.I.E.L.D. couldn't possibly possess.

After saying that, Sherlock opened the Anywhere Door, and Blackie could clearly see the street scene of New York on the other side of the Anywhere Door.

This scene immediately silenced Blackie's desire to cooperate.

Regardless of whether Sherlock's claim about the cleanliness within S.H.I.E.L.D. is true, the value of this Anywhere Door far exceeds the limits of what S.H.I.E.L.D. can control.

Although Black Marinated Egg often seems to be in a state of worrying about things that are about to happen but doesn't understand why, it doesn't mean that Black Marinated Egg is stupid.

The mere existence of any door is enough to prove that what Sherlock just said is true.

The strategic value of the Anywhere Door almost dictates that it can only remain in Sherlock's hands. If technology like the Anywhere Door were to circulate, the worst outcome would be a direct triggering of a Dark Forest game among humans, where trust would become the most expensive thing between people, organizations, and nations.

Blackie practically watched as Sherlock carried Doro through the door and closed it, the pink Anywhere Door disappearing right before his eyes. Only then did he take a deep breath, suppressing the thoughts Sherlock had about S.H.I.E.L.D. being unclean, and turn to walk towards the main entrance of the conference room.

At the entrance to the conference room, Hill, as Eddie Redmayne's adjutant, was dutifully waiting for him, holding a tablet in his hand.

The moment Egg stepped out, Hill handed him his tablet and reported the situation.

"Satellites have detected a large energy reaction in downtown New York City. Captain America, Hawkeye, and Black Widow have already flown to the area at the center of the energy reaction. Tony's team reacted the fastest and is almost there."

According to the location displayed on the communicator, Dr. Banner and Thor were also heading towards the epicenter of the energy reaction.

Hill paused slightly before continuing.

"I've already contacted S.H.I.E.L.D. to have them cooperate with the NYPD in the evacuation and sheltering efforts to minimize casualties. Director, should we contact the military and the Iron Patriots for cooperation?"

Upon hearing Hill's question, Egg shook his head slightly before speaking to Hill.

"Forget it. Apart from the newly formed Task Force 141, the rest of the military personnel can hardly be called soldiers anymore. That Iron Patriot is just a clown that the military has put out to perform, just like the captain back then. He won't be of any use. We should just focus on providing logistical support for the Avengers and minimize casualties."

Hill contacted the Security Council and the United Nations to arrange a video conference; we need to prepare for the worst.

Hearing what Blackie said, Hill nodded, took back his tablet, thought for a moment, and then spoke to Blackie.

"Okay, I'll prepare for the meeting. However, Director, I personally suggest that you change your clothes before attending the meeting."

After saying that, Hill didn't care what Blackie's reaction was and turned to leave. As Hill left, Blackie suddenly had an ominous premonition and immediately found a place that could reflect light.

Upon seeing his comical reflection, Black Egg's roar echoed throughout the entire space carrier.

"Sherlock Flamel! You damned little bastard!!!"

Chapter 192 The Show Begins (Part 2)

Sherlock, unaware that Black Egg had finally discovered his little prank, did not immediately get involved in the Avengers' affairs after bringing Doro to New York. Instead, he used the Anywhere Door to go directly to the roof of the New York Sanctum.

Sherlock's lips twitched involuntarily the moment he opened the Anywhere Door.

Well, although he was mentally prepared, Sherlock still couldn't quite hold back when he saw the Ancient One with a face mask on, wearing sunglasses, lying on a deck chair at an angle that perfectly overlooked Stark Tower, with an ice-cold drink next to her.

For some reason, Sherlock always felt that the Ancient One seemed to have a bit of amusement-seeking nature, enjoying watching others have fun, and even now, with the Chitauri invasion, she has no intention of intervening.

"You're just going to stand by and watch? Wasn't it agreed that the Sorcerer Supreme would protect the Earth?"

Sherlock reluctantly closed his Anywhere Door, and while talking, he put the Anywhere Door into his four-dimensional pocket.

The Ancient One, on the other hand, seemed unsurprised by Sherlock's arrival. Like a young girl enjoying a sunbath, she elegantly picked up a cold drink from beside the recliner, took a sip, and then asked Sherlock a question.

Would you like some?

As the Ancient One finished speaking, without waiting for Sherlock to decide whether he wanted it or not, the Ancient One snapped her fingers. The next second, Sherlock felt a heavy weight in his hand. Looking down, he saw that he had a cold drink just like the one the Ancient One had given him.

Not only himself, but even the Ancient One, Doro, in his arms had not been forgotten.

Unlike Sherlock, Doro, the little glutton, had his eyes light up the moment he got his hands on the cold drink and immediately started drinking it. Sherlock, on the other hand, was somewhat speechless as he looked at the scene of explosions that had begun to occur not far away.

As if she had eyes in the back of her head, the Ancient One seemed to see with her own eyes that Sherlock hadn't touched the cold drink in his hand, and without even turning her head, she continued to speak to Sherlock.

"If you don't want to drink, just put it on the table. Anyway, you might not be the only guest today! As for why I, as the Sorcerer Supreme, don't care about the Chitauri invasion..."

"It's very simple, Sherlock. The Sorcerer Supreme cares about Earth. Clearly, those little gadgets aren't enough to threaten Earth!"

As she spoke, the Ancient One's tone became somewhat mischievous and expectant as she continued speaking to Sherlock.

"Besides, within a controllable range, the bigger the commotion, the more bargaining power we have, right?"

Upon hearing the Ancient One's words, Sherlock almost instantly understood what the Ancient One wanted to do, and his face immediately showed interest as he looked at the Ancient One lying on the recliner with some surprise.

Well, this was the first time Sherlock had experienced the Ancient One's ability to trick people. As long as he wasn't the one being tricked, honestly, it felt incredibly satisfying!

Seeing that Sherlock seemed to understand her meaning, the Ancient One waved her hand impatiently at Sherlock, as if shooing away a fly that was disturbing her sleep, and continued to speak to Sherlock.

"If you understand, hurry over there. You're one of the main actors in this big show!"
