A certain American comic book's secondary profession master

Chapter 51 Divine Spear?

Late at night, Li Wei lay in bed, thinking about his previous conversation with Li Feng, and the more he thought about it, the more something seemed off.

It's not that the other party lied.

Instead, it felt like the other person was omitting a lot of crucial information when talking about their own situation.

That's right. The other party used to be a witcher, so he has certain special powers that can break his freezing spells. He also has some knowledge of Kamar-Taj, which makes sense.

But if that's all there is to it, then Li Feng's behavior of rarely being home, as recorded in the original owner's memories, becomes illogical.

Li Wei hadn't suspected anything before because he felt the father-son relationship wasn't very good, which was why Li Feng was always busy with business and didn't pay much attention to him.

It's even possible that Li Feng has another family outside.

However, based on my conversation with Li Feng today, it seems that this is not the case.

So... what is the reason that a father who should love his children is away from home for so long?

Unable to sleep, Li Wei got up, quietly put on his clothes, and opened the door to Kamar-Taj.

Because of the different time zones, it is nighttime in New York but broad daylight in Kamar-Taj.

Besides, given Gu Yi's level of skill, it doesn't matter whether she sleeps or not.

She wasn't surprised at all to see Li Wei arrive.

"You want to ask about your father, right?" Gu Yi asked.

“Yes!” Li Wei frowned slightly. He was still a little uncomfortable with the title “father”.

“Actually, you don’t need to care about the fact that you took over the original Victor Lee’s body, because before you traveled through time, the real Victor Lee was already dead!” Ancient One looked at Victor Lee and told him the truth.

"He died before I arrived? But in my memories, there was nothing unusual. How could he have died?" Li Wei asked, somewhat puzzled.

There was nothing unusual in the memories left to him by the original owner, so Li Wei had no idea that the other party had died before he transmigrated.

However, the answer given by the Ancient One made him feel incredibly relaxed.

At least the original owner's death had nothing to do with him anymore.

As for whether Gu Yi would lie to him?
Stop kidding, with his status, why would he need to lie to him?

"Because the part of your memory that you received is the memory of Victor before his death, which was copied by the person responsible for your time travel, and it's not complete—after all, the remaining part of the memory isn't very good!" Ancient One explained.

“I see—wait, you said he was murdered? So he was killed?” Li Wei asked, frowning. “Who?”

"Do you remember what you got in Europe this time?" Gu Yi asked, taking a sip of tea.

"Um...which item are you referring to?" Li Wei asked, puzzled, after all, they had gained quite a lot this time.

“Pheromone!” the Ancient One said.

"Pheromone? You mean, someone used that pheromone to kill Victor? That's impossible. Melina only recently developed pheromones, and they haven't even been mass-produced yet. How could they have appeared in the United States last year?" Levi's eyes widened.

“Similar, but not exactly the same… Don’t forget, this research didn’t originally belong to Melina!” the Ancient One said meaningfully.

Li Wei was taken aback upon hearing this.

Yes, the research on pheromones originated with the Winter Soldier, the blueprint for the basal ganglia, and the Northern Research Institute.

So the Red House was not the only institution that obtained relevant research data from the Northern Research Institute back then.
"Then who exactly is this person?" Li Wei couldn't help but ask.

"That's a question for you to answer!" Gu Yi smiled but didn't give a direct answer.

Ask myself?

Li Wei was puzzled.

However, it seems that the Ancient One has no intention of continuing the conversation.

Seeing this, Li Wei didn't press the matter further.

He then continued asking the previous question, "What exactly is the situation with Victor's father?"

"Oh, that's easy. He was indeed a Witcher, but after retiring, he joined S.H.I.E.L.D.!" The Ancient One didn't mince words with Li Wei's question, giving a direct answer.
The Sniper Rifle?

S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't exist in the Avengers movies and TV shows; isn't that something from the comics?
Li Wei decisively put aside his affair with his cheap father and focused his attention on the Divine Spear Bureau.

After all, compared to the existence of the Divine Spear Bureau, any Tom, Dick, or Harry can be sidelined.

"That's normal, isn't it? If you weren't an outsider, just one of the ordinary people in this world, what are the chances that you would know about Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D. ten years from now, before their information is made public?" Gu Yi saw Li Wei's doubts and shock, and explained without any surprise.

……

Li Wei was speechless.

That's right. In his previous life, as an ordinary office worker, he couldn't even name all the regular departments in his own country.

For example, even a counselor's office is probably a mystery to many people.

Not to mention those clandestine departments.

At most, they just make jokes about the Strategic Deception Bureau and the Strategic Terrorism Bureau online.

But... Sniper Rifle...

Li Wei used to think that the S.H.I.E.D. didn't exist in the film and television world, so he naturally wouldn't have any designs on it.

But now, I can't help but feel a little restless.

If the opportunity arises, the two sides could consider collaborating.

That's right, it's cooperation, not defection.

Ultimately, the Marvel Universe and Levi's original world are not the same thing.

Li Wei had no idea what the situation was like on the other side of this world.

Moreover, this kind of thing is a two-way street. Even if he wants to join the Sniper Bureau, he still has to see if they want him.

The fact that Li Feng joined the Divine Spear Bureau without telling his son speaks volumes.

More importantly, while Li Wei may not know the situation on the other side of this world, he does know about the situation on the Avengers' side.

Staying here allows us to take advantage of the "first-mover advantage" and gain more benefits.

With these benefits, he will have a better foundation for cooperating with the other side.

Since that's the case, let's ignore Li Feng for now.

When the time is right, the other party may come knocking on our door.

The question now is, who exactly killed Victor?
The function of pheromones is to control people, so the person who killed Li Wei should also be able to control people.

Furthermore, the Ancient One said to ask himself, which should be Levi himself, not Victor.

This means that this person is definitely not an unknown figure in the Marvel Universe.

He must be at least a minor boss.

And this person has to be active in New York.

There is definitely no such person in the Avengers movies, so Levi placed the flashback in the spin-off series.

Soon, a name popped into his mind.

“Kilgrave the Purple Man? No, I should say Kevin Thompson… is that him?” Levi asked the Ancient One.

Gu Yi simply smiled slightly and did not answer.

But that smile already says a lot.

"Alright, alright, since I've used this body, I'll reluctantly avenge him," Li Wei thought to himself.

Hmm, there's absolutely no reason for this bastard to "freeload" everywhere.
