~11 min read 2,057 words

"Oh, god, you finally came. We thought we'd be trapped here forever!" Parker walked toward the few people at the door. The other party also had an expression of having survived a disaster. Parker saw Bark behind the crowd.

"We didn't expect Hart to do that." The female scientist Sophia had a worried look on her face, patted Parker on the shoulder, and said, "He might indeed have problems. It's good that you're okay."

"Long time no see, Parker." Bark walked up to shake hands with Parker. It was clear he was the head of this group. Parker smiled at him.

And when the female agent walked out of the darkness, Bark was clearly startled. Natasha walked through the crowd just right, came over to shake hands with Bark, winked at him, and said, "Hello, heard a lot about you."

"Have you heard of me?" Bark asked with some confusion.

"I heard from Parker that you're a very brilliant computer scientist. It just so happens that I'm not very good in this area, and I might need to ask for your help in the future." Natasha said with a smile.

Turning her head, Natasha gave Parker a look, meaning that this bunch of guys was indeed not right, especially this one called Bark. When he saw Natasha, he was too nervous, and when Natasha said she only heard of him from Parker, he relaxed too obviously.

Natasha felt a bit bored. No matter how bold these people were or how big a conspiracy they had concocted, if their basic skills weren't up to par, everything was in vain. It was far worse than the excitement of dealing with Schiller.

Then the female agent wailed in her heart again; the fact that she had no fun to watch now was all Schiller's fault!

Parker didn't have that kind of discernment; he basically couldn't see the emotional changes of the few people in front of him. He also didn't know where Natasha saw it from, but since the famous Black Widow was willing to believe and support him, he basically had an idea in his heart.

"I also didn't expect Hart to do that. Maybe he went crazy from too much pressure. I hope he won't destroy any important devices again." Parker said this on purpose. Sure enough, Bark's complexion looked a bit bad; this was so obvious that even Parker could observe it.

Seeing that the atmosphere was bad, the female scientist immediately said seriously, "You won't believe what we all saw in the control room. We made a copy, come over quickly."

Parker and Natasha pretended to be ignorant, followed the group into the room, returned to their original office at the fastest speed, and the female scientist took out the backup and put it into the projector. The video started playing.

This was clearly a camera from the side, so it only captured half of Aux's body. Parker observed carefully, and sure enough, it didn't capture whether he was wearing a safety rope, which meant he definitely was.

But soon, Parker had no time to think about these trivial details, because a terrifying scene appeared on the surveillance screen. With a 'whoosh', a fireball flew from the direction of the sun, from which stretched out countless black and gold intertwined tentacles, attacking Aux.

Aux climbed up to hide behind the photovoltaic device, but as if he didn't know what he saw, he took a few steps back and turned around, and that flame monster had completely enveloped the photovoltaic device.

"My god!" Parker was stunned. He stood there for several seconds without speaking, then said, "What kind of monster is this? How could it be like this?!"

Natasha also stared tightly at the screen for several seconds, but in reality, this was just to cover up the fact that she was focusing her attention elsewhere. Upon seeing that trace of smugness on Bark's face, Natasha could pretty much determine what was going on.

Parker turned his head back. His shocked emotion wasn't fake; he was seeking approval from Natasha. Natasha straightened her body and said, "Judging from my experience, this video hasn't been modified."

Before the smug look on Bark's face could become more obvious, he heard Natasha say, "This situation is a bit serious now. I'm afraid I must contact S. H. I. E. L. D. and urgently recall the superheroes..."

After saying that, she pinched the communicator on her wrist and turned to walk out, counting in her heart: three, two, one...

Sure enough, Bark grabbed her arm, looked at her, and said, "There's no definitive evidence yet. I think it might not be good to rashly call back the superheroes who are burdened with heavy responsibilities..."

Sure enough, Natasha smiled in her heart. It was so easy to show their flaws. Besides, what 'burdened with heavy responsibilities'? Before they came to the space station, the situation in the Centauri galaxy could at most be considered an early cultural export of Thanksgiving, with all kinds of turkeys taking the stage to perform.

But Natasha still said very seriously, "What heavy responsibility is more important than Earth's safety? Now that aliens have hit our doorstep, what reason do they have not to come back?!"

"I also think it's better to notify S. H. I. E. L. D. first." Parker said, "At least let them know this incident isn't an accidental accident, but an alien invasion. The handling level for these two types of accident causes is completely different."

Bark was clearly choked, and his complexion became even worse. Natasha sneered in her heart: didn't expect that the poor little thing who is always at the bottom of your team would dare to stand up and refute you at this time, or perhaps that isn't a member of your team at all, just a prop in your performance.

At this moment, Natasha suddenly remembered: why Ben Parker?

It felt like there was some inexplicable connection. Natasha recalled carefully, and suddenly a face flashed before her eyes. Natasha looked up at Bark again and suddenly understood why he was so nervous.

This guy wasn't called Bark at all, and he didn't have this circle of beard originally. He had crossed paths with Natasha before, which was why he was worried that Natasha would recognize him.

Is leaving a beard called a disguise? Natasha couldn't help but complain in her heart; this wasn't even as scary as Schiller putting on and taking off his glasses.

Searching for this guy's information carefully in her mind, Natasha understood a bit, but she didn't tell Parker immediately. Peter's uncle was a rare, smart ordinary person. His survival wisdom from ordinary people was a different set of things, and he didn't need an agent to point fingers; he could do just as well.

Sure enough, Parker interrupted them even more offensively, stared straight at Bark, and said, "And now that we have the evidence that Aux was framed, we must give this thing to S. H. I. E. L. D. in advance to clear his name. I said long ago that Aux isn't that kind of person!"

"Ben Parker! What do you mean?!" The white old man who hadn't made a sound behind them stood out and said, "Bark never said he wouldn't tell S. H. I. E. L. D., but we are scientists and need rigor. Now there is only one video, and nothing has been figured out yet. How can you clear his suspicion?"

Parker looked sheepish, as if he couldn't afford to offend this old man, so he took a step back. But at this time, Natasha stepped forward again and said, "Clearing suspicion is secondary. As an agent of S. H. I. E. L. D., I cannot know and not report. Please give me the video, otherwise, I have the right to take enforcement measures."

The few people seemed stunned by Natasha's unreasonable behavior, but seeing Natasha's hand on her gun, Bark still swallowed and said, "No, don't be like this, ma'am. Of course, we will give you the video, but you also know that S. H. I. E. L. D. can't send a large number of agents over now, and we still have to save ourselves."

"I will never stop you." Natasha seemed to take a step back and said, "In fact, I will also truthfully tell the Director everything you have done. At least the efforts you have made to investigate the truth will not be forgotten."

Bark looked like he had relaxed significantly again. Natasha saw that the timing was about right and said, "Next, I will focus on connecting with S. H. I. E. L. D. Even if they can't send people up, they can use resources on the ground to provide us with assistance..."

Natasha meant to part ways with them. Bark looked even more relaxed; he lost the vigilance he had and said, "But I hope Ben can follow us. I'm afraid he can't help much with agent work, but he is very popular. He can help us persuade others to let them settle down."

Natasha's eyes darkened. It seemed that this group of people really only regarded Parker as a tool, more similar to "We have all allowed you to participate in such a great cause of saving the world; shouldn't you willingly listen to our orders and play an insignificant supporting role without asking for rewards?"

But when looking at Parker, she found that he wore a 'stay calm' expression. Natasha had to suppress the irritability in her heart, thinking that next time she saw Peter, she must complain about this bunch of bastards.

Wait, it seemed like she didn't need to wait until she saw Peter. Who followed them up to the space station?

Natasha wasn't a magnanimous person; she complained from morning till night. So Schiller soon bumped into Natasha at the corner of the corridor and was dragged into the office next to it by her.

"You actually still have the mood to stroll around here?!" Natasha said with heartbreak, "What did you come up here for?"

"To fulfill the duties of a psychiatrist. Didn't you see the guy I hypnotized?" Schiller spread his hands and said.

"I still want to ask, why did you hypnotize him?"

"If I didn't use this method to remind you that Aux might have been hypnotized, you wouldn't have realized it even after a year."

Natasha opened her mouth, but was speechless. She had to say, "So you deliberately smoked in front of Leman so that his hypnosis would have flaws, thereby reminding us that Aux's hypnosis might also have flaws?"

"Not might, it definitely has." Schiller said with a professional attitude, "Even for me, it's very difficult to achieve perfect hypnosis."

"Really? Even you can't?"

Schiller shook his head and said, "Charles might have a possibility, but not by ordinary methods. At the very least, it would have to be coordinated with brainwave adjustment."

"Let's put it this way." Schiller held up a finger as an example and said, "The human brain is a black box. Any preparation you make might become useless the moment you touch the inside of the black box. And any psychiatrist's ability to adapt to changes on the fly is not enough to deal with the complex situation inside the brain. Flaws are inevitable."

"Or rather, hypnosis doesn't pursue perfection to begin with. On the contrary, it must leave some flaws so that they can distinguish what is hypnotic content and what is reality. Otherwise, deleting someone's memory perfectly like Charles would only make them doubt themselves and then go crazy."

"So there is no theory in this world that guides perfect hypnosis. I can't do it, let alone others."

"I heard you hypnotized your teacher in college..."

"Where did you hear that?" Schiller paused and then said, "That's a different difficulty. I just made them have a better impression of me usually to get a passing grade. That's not the same difficulty as making a good person go kill someone."

Natasha barely accepted this explanation, then played the video she got from that group of people for Schiller to see, and then said, "The video absolutely hasn't been modified; I can tell. So what do you think is going on with this monster? Is it the mutant ability of one of them?"

"Do you know magic?" Schiller suddenly said, "The video filming the magic trick hasn't been modified either, so how was the pigeon conjured?" ===== CHAPTER 2722 =====
