"But don't worry, I didn't tell anyone. I bought it because of your identity, when I was trading with those people, I thought of Terrigen Crystal, which might be useful to you."
Bai Ye said.
Crystal frowned and asked:
"Bai Ye, how did you know..."
Bai Ye said, "Because there are people like you on Earth! You should also have records, right? Your race is a new human created through experiments by the Kree Empire in the universe, using Earth's genetic template and adding Kree genes."
"Later, the experiment failed, and the Kree withdrew from Earth. While you gained your freedom, due to genetic issues, some of you had to migrate to the moon. However, there are still some of your kind on Earth."
"It was by chance that I learned that the main base of the Earth's alien race was in Henan, China, a secluded and isolated place, and from there I also learned about your lunar lineage."
Crystal was in a state of utter confusion and asked, "Bai Ye, doesn't that mean quite a few Earthlings know about our existence?"
Bai Ye, a casual acquaintance, spoke frankly: "No, not many people know this; it just happens that I do."
###Chapter 125 You think I won't recognize you just because you've taken off your disguise?###
"Crystal, what are you afraid of?"
Bai Ye looked at Crystal's cautious manner and smiled:
"Given our relationship, are you still worried that I would harm you?"
After thinking it over carefully, Crystal also felt that if Bai Ye wanted to harm her, he would have too many opportunities.
Given the previous close encounters and the fact that no one with tetanus was around, Bai Ye would have no problem finding an opportunity to do what he wanted.
Crystal: "Bai Ye, I believe you, but this matter is far too important, do you understand?"
Bai Ye: "Of course I understand. I get it. In fact, it was absolutely the right decision for your race to live on the moon. Because your fellow race members who stayed on Earth are not living very comfortably."
"On Earth, there are many human organizations that pursue power, evolution, and immortality. They capture superhumans and conduct genetic research. It's a sad story; they barely manage to find a place to live of their own."
"Your living on the moon is indeed a very prescient strategy. At least you don't have to worry about being ambushed and sent to a laboratory at any time."
Crystal sighed: "Actually, living on the moon isn't as comfortable as you imagine. Resources on the moon are extremely scarce..."
Bai Ye raised an eyebrow: "Something's not right. I seem to have heard that the moon is extremely rich in resources, a huge treasure trove?"
Crystal said, "Of course that's how it seems to Earthlings, but once you live on the moon, you definitely won't think that way."
"Because of long-term development, Earth has almost exhausted its surface resources, which is why it has set its sights on the Moon, whose resources are still largely untapped. The main reason is the Moon's abundant renewable energy resources, namely solar energy. But Bai Ye, have you considered that solar energy on the Moon cannot be consumed..."
Upon hearing Crystal's explanation, Bai Ye instantly understood. To put it bluntly, Earth was facing an energy crisis, so it coveted energy resources such as helium-3 on the moon. However, the moon lacked large-scale biological resources, and living supplies were extremely scarce.
Bai Ye laughed and said, "When people gain something, they will also lose something. It seems that in this world, there is indeed no such thing as gaining an advantage without suffering a loss!"
“Hmm.” Crystal Broken said with some annoyance, “Moreover, Attilan practices the caste system, which I feel is not right, but there is no way to change it.”
Attiland was a kingdom ruled by an absolute monarchy and a caste system.
The Inhumans allow their members the freedom to develop their own thoughts and genetic evolution, permitting individuality; however, they employ a rigid caste system. Generally, the social status of their members is determined by their abilities after contact with the Terrigen Mist, and once designated, no Inhuman, no matter how great or powerful, can ever change their position in this hierarchical society.
To put it bluntly, it means that when Inhumans marry ordinary humans, the bloodline concentration of their offspring will be lower. Similarly, when Inhumans of higher castes marry those of lower castes, the bloodline concentration of their offspring will also be lower.
Attilan's closed society and rampant inbreeding allowed them to maintain their immense power and produce figures like Black Bolt, who could suppress an entire era.
"These things take time; you can't rush them," Bai Ye said. "If you're too hasty, it might backfire. Do you know Louis XVI?"
Crystal shook her head: "I don't know."
Bai Ye said, "He thought about the same thing as you, but when the common people revolted and overthrew the regime, he, his wife, and even his son and daughter were all sent to the guillotine..."
Crystal immediately thought of her older sister and brother-in-law.
She couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
If the low-caste Inhumans that I want to save revolt and send myself, my sister, my brother-in-law, and the rest of my family to the guillotine, is that the scene I want?
Crystal quickly shook her head.
Her sister and brother-in-law were the most important people in her world, and she would rather maintain the status quo in Attilan than bring them danger.
Bai Ye continued, "We Chinese have an old saying—'Governing a large country is like cooking a small fish.' It means that governing a large country is as difficult and meticulous as cooking a dish. Both require mastering the heat and paying attention to the seasonings. Therefore, social reform must never be allowed to be done arbitrarily by individual will. Otherwise, even with good intentions, it may cause greater disasters."
Crystal nodded: "I understand."
Bai Ye and Shui Jing still enjoyed their meal.
after that.
White Night called Coulson.
Coulson: "Hello? Mr. White Night, what do you want?"
Bai Ye: "Coulson, have you forgotten? Where's my obelisk?"
Coulson: "I'm sorry, Mr. White Night, I've been so busy lately that I'm a bit confused. You want the obelisk, right? No problem, I'll give you an address and I'll deliver it to you from inside."
If S.H.I.E.L.D. valued the obelisk highly before, giving it to Bai Ye now is not a big deal, because they have obtained something even better—the remains of the Destroyer.
White Night and Jane blasted the Destroyer into pieces, and given S.H.I.E.L.D.'s greedy nature—they wouldn't let a dog leave unscathed, and they'd even steal a child's winter break homework—they certainly wouldn't let those Destroyer fragments go.
The Uru metal unique to Asgard, combined with the runes applied by Odin, even if they are just fragments of the Destroyer, are certainly far better than obelisks, which have no known purpose.
"Ok."
Bai Ye provided an address.
As the sea god, Bai Ye must have many safe places to stay in New York to prevent any unexpected situations.
Crystal, who had tetanus, came to one of Bai Ye's houses with him.
Coulson arrived in a black SUV.
"Mr. Bai Ye, you've become even more handsome in just a few days."
Coulson even cracked a joke at Bai Ye with a smile.
"You don't even need to tell me, everyone knows that!"
Bai Ye said calmly.
"And this young lady is?"
Coulson looked at the crystal.
"She's my girlfriend, what's it to you?"
Bai Ye glanced at Coulson.
Coulson: "..."
All I can say is that Mr. Bai Ye truly lives up to his name; just how many girlfriends does he have that even S.H.I.E.L.D. can't find out about?
Coulson even suspected that Bai Ye's girlfriend might have already crossed the boundaries of Earth...
“Of course it’s none of my business,” Coulson said. “But I saw that you and this young lady, Mr. Bai Ye, are a perfect match. You could call them a golden couple, so I’m a little curious.”
"Thank you."
Crystal smiled.
I think Bai Ye's friend is quite interesting.
“Crystal, don’t waste your breath on this guy. He may look respectable, but he’s a complete scoundrel. He’s a voyeur. He loves to express his inner thoughts to the world by prying into other people’s privacy.” Bai Ye said.
Coulson: "..."
Crystal immediately took two steps back, looking at Coulson with a wary and disgusted expression.
So, this person is a pervert!
"Enough with the nonsense." Bai Ye waved his hand and said, "Where's what I asked for?"
Coulson was helpless.
He still wanted to test Crystal and get some information about the girl, but now that he was in this state, if he continued to ask, the little girl would probably think he was a real pervert.
"Agent Patton!"
As Coulson spoke, a man with a cold expression, dressed in a leather jacket and pants, walked up.
It was Hawkeye from S.H.I.E.L.D.
谷殍
He was carrying a silver-white box in his hand.
Coulson entered the password into the box Hawkeye was holding.
With a "snap," the box opened.
The obelisk was lying inside the box.
This is S.H.I.E.L.D.'s first 084 item.
Agent Carter and the Howling Commandos, serving under SSR, breached the last known stronghold of Hydra, captured Whitehall, and obtained the first 084—the Obelisk.
084 represents objects of unknown origin, some of which even S.H.I.E.L.D. cannot identify. At the same time, 084 can encompass many things, including objects, energy, and even people.
Coulson said, "Mr. White Night, I must remind you that this item cannot be touched directly by a human body, otherwise, one will be petrified."
“I know this item better than you do, of course I know.”
Bai Ye looked at the crystal:
"Crystal, come and see if this item is real or fake."
Crystal looked at the obelisk inside the box with surprise. She had thought that all the Terrigen crystals in the world were in Attila, but she didn't expect there to be remnants on Earth.
She walked in and reached out to grasp the obelisk.
Coulson wanted to speak up and warn her, since touching the obelisk would either kill or cripple an ordinary person, but when he thought about how she was Bai Ye's girlfriend and how Bai Ye had asked her to do it, he had to swallow the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
The crystal grasped the obelisk.
It almost blinded Coulson's 24k pure titanium alloy eyes.
The obelisk did not petrify the crystal; instead, it emitted a dazzling golden light in the crystal's hand.
"This, this..."
Coulson realized that White Night didn't seem to be lying; he did indeed know more about the obelisk than he and S.H.I.E.L.D.
"It should be true."
