Marvel Person: You call this a sorcerer?

Chapter 43: Machines for Predicting the Future?

"You've asked me all your questions, now it's my turn to ask you."

Ronan took a deep breath; this was also the reason he agreed to talk to Strange.

This question had been troubling him for a long time.

"What is it?"

Strange readily agreed.

After all, Ronan had answered his questions, so he wouldn't be stingy with his answers.

Ronan narrowed his eyes, and then he made a gesture in front of his chest. The two of them were instantly swallowed up by the mirror space.

Strange was also somewhat surprised by Ronan's actions.

He didn't think Ronan was going to attack him.

What surprised him was how cautious Ronan seemed.

"What on earth is going on that makes you need to use the mirror space to communicate with me?"

"Is even Kamar-Taj unsafe?"

The more Strange talked, the uglier his expression became.

If even Kamar-Taj cannot handle certain dangers on Earth, then there is no safe place on Earth.

"No, it's not that it's unsafe."

"I can only say that I'm afraid that what we say will be overheard by others."

Ronan's expression was more serious than ever before.

Seeing Ronan's expression, Strange also became serious.

"Okay, what is it?"

Strange finally got to the point.

"I want to know, since you became the Sorcerer Supreme, have you felt that something is interfering with the course of history?"

"In other words, is there someone like you who can foresee the future, and is quietly eliminating some people?"

Ronan then uttered a shocking statement.

Instinctively, Strange shouted the word "Impossible".

However, Ronan didn't ask him; he just watched him silently, waiting for his final answer.

This answer was undoubtedly thoughtless, and Ronan wouldn't care.

He needs Strange to think before he speaks.

Sure enough, Strange gradually calmed down when he felt Ronan's gaze.

He could utter the word "impossible" simply because he didn't want to believe it.

However, this has actually happened before.

"May I ask you first, why did you come to this conclusion?"

"As far as I know, there is no other way to observe the future on Earth besides the Time Stone."

"Even the Eye of Agamotto has temporarily sealed this ability for some reason."

Strange looked at Ronan, wondering why he would say that.

Another person who can foresee the future.

Could it be that the other side possesses some power they are unaware of?

Ronan hesitated for a moment, then finally took a deep breath, and the Time Gem on his chest began to emit a faint green light.

A scene appeared before them.

The people in the center of the image are Steve Rogers and Black Widow. Soon after, Falcon flew down from the sky carrying a person, seemingly dealing with someone.

Strange looked at Ronan with curiosity.

Ronan didn't say anything, but simply gestured for him to continue reading.

"Zola is a program that selects targets for the Insight Project."

The bald man who was brought up knelt on the ground, panting as he spoke.

He was none other than Hydra agent Sitwell.

"What's the goal?"

The person asking the question was Steve Rogers.

"you!"

Hitwell first pointed to Steve Rogers, then continued listing.

"A host in Cairo, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Defense, and a high school graduate from Iowa giving a graduation speech."

"Bruce Banner, Stephen Strange."

"Anyone who threatens Hydra."

"Whether now or in the future."

As he said this, Ronan looked up at Strange beside him.

At this moment, Strange's expression also changed.

He didn't know who this person was, but the other person said his name.

You should know that the names of monks like them are rarely known to outsiders.

"future?"

"How does it predict the future?"

Steve Rogers pressed on with more questions.

Hitwell looked up at Steve Rogers, who was standing right in front of him, and actually laughed.

"Why not?"

"The 21st century is like an e-book, and Zola taught Hydra how to read it."

At this point, seeing that the others didn't understand what he meant, Hitter added again: "Your bank records, medical records, voting preferences, emails, phone calls."

"Zola uses algorithms to analyze people's past and predict their future."

The video stopped there.

This part of the story takes place a few years ago, starting with Steve Rogers' destruction of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Of course, at that time, S.H.I.E.L.D. could be called Hydra.

"Have you noticed anything important?"

Ronan turned his gaze to Strange again.

Strange rested his chin on his hand, his eyes filled with a serious expression.

"Is the person you're talking about who can predict the future the 'Zola' from this conversation?"

"No matter how powerful it is, it's still just a supercomputer."

"Perhaps it can guess people's preferences, but how can it possibly predict the future?"

Even now, Strange still finds it hard to believe.

Although he is also a modern person who once lived in a modern city and experienced the convenience brought by technology.

However, while technology can predict people's preferences, how can it know what you will do tomorrow?

This was something Strange couldn't believe.

However, Ronan shook his head.

"Let me give you another hint."

This happened in 2014.

Ronan specified a timeframe.

When the year 2014 was mentioned, Strange immediately stood up from his chair.

The composure he had shown earlier was completely gone!

"2014?"

"At that time."

Strange seemed to have thought of something.

"That's right, back then you were a world-renowned surgeon."

"He did not become Doctor Strange."

"More importantly, when Hitterville said you were a threat, he didn't put you on the same level as those ordinary people."

"Instead, he's listed alongside Tony Stark."

"Subconsciously, this means you're on the same level as Tony Stark, or even higher!"

Ronan's words seemed to suddenly awaken Strange.

Yes!

At that time, Strange was just an ordinary surgeon.

No matter how famous he is, he doesn't participate in politics and has no secrets.

How could Hydra possibly consider it one of the threats?

He was even ranked alongside Tony Stark, who was already famous at the time.

Did Zola at that time already know that Strange would become Doctor Strange?

If that's really the case.

Thinking about this, Strange broke out in a cold sweat.

He had unknowingly brushed past death.
