Nick Fury thought he was doing it secretly, but he didn't know that someone was always watching him, watching everyone he sent out and listening to his every order.
"S.H.I.E.L.D. is contacting Strange now? That's too early." Ancient One of Kamar-Taj was surprised, holding a cup of tea in his hand, which was already close to his mouth, but he didn't drink it.
"This kind of future has never happened before. This is a new future..." Ancient One brought the teacup to his lips and took a sip. "Someone has tampered with the timeline!"
"It wasn't until now that I realized that whoever tampered with the timeline was quite skilled." Gu Yi put down the teacup he had just taken a sip of and began to check the past of Nick Fury and the others.
"Nick Fury, Natasha Romanoff, and Tony Stark disappeared at the Stark Expo." After checking, Ancient One stood up. "From what they said, I can tell that during their absence, they must have gone to that question-answering space."
This is the problem. Ancient One was able to discover that Nick Fury and the other two had disappeared. Even though their disappearance and reappearance occurred at the same time, which was equivalent to not disappearing at all, she was still able to discover it.
But Gu Yi couldn't find the answer space!
It's as if the answer space doesn't exist at all, as if it has never existed.
"What kind of method is this? Is it the work of TVA?" Gu Yi thought of an organization. When it comes to playing with time, it seems that only that organization can make her unable to detect any clues.
But isn't the purpose of that organization to maintain the sacred timeline? How could they do something that would destroy the timeline?
"Forget it, I'll go and see it myself." After thinking about it for a while and still couldn't figure it out, Ancient One simply went back to the past and appeared at the Stark Expo.
There were a lot of people at the expo, and it was almost shoulder to shoulder, but when Ancient One walked towards Nick Fury and Natasha Romanoff, he didn't bump into anyone.
All those people became like invisible shadows, and Ancient One passed directly through their bodies.
"There is one more thing. I plan to recruit him into the Avengers. During his undercover period, you should evaluate whether he is suitable." Nick Fury said to Natasha Romanoff. He had no idea that there was a bald woman next to him, staring at him.
"There's no need to evaluate this. I can tell you right now that it's absolutely inappropriate," Natasha Romanoff said immediately.
"Why do you say that? Is it just because you can't stand having too many women around him?"
"Patton and I, we can trust each other. I know Patton would take good care of me even if it meant sacrificing his own life, but Tony? He only has himself in his eyes, and the whole world revolves around him. He would never sacrifice himself for others."
The conversation between Nick Fury and Natasha Romanoff is exactly the same as what Ancient One saw before.
But the next moment, the tone of the conversation changed.
"Romanov, it felt like I just had an incredibly real dream..."
"Fury, this is not a dream."
These two sentences are connected to the previous dialogue without any pause in between.
If someone who doesn't know what's going on listens to this conversation, they will definitely not understand it, because the last two sentences are too abrupt and have nothing to do with the previous conversation.
But Gu Yi knew that the reason why it was so abrupt was because the two people in front of him had just gone to the answering space.
"There's no trace left, as if he's never left." Ancient One frowned, "Who on earth is that person who set the question?"
She even came to the scene in person, but still couldn't find the space to answer questions!
But it was not all in vain, at least she was sure of one thing,
The other party did all this without using magic.
Ancient One is not a big shot on the scientific side, but she can see that this is not technology.
"It's not magic, nor is it technology. So what kind of energy is it..." Ancient One laughed, "Interesting."
The reason why she laughed was because she thought of TVA. That group of people regarded themselves as the guardians of time and arbitrarily eliminated anyone they thought destroyed or threatened the sacred timeline. So, does TVA have the ability to eliminate the person who set the question?
Intuitively, Gu Yi felt that the person who set the question could compete with TVA.
It's always fun to see those self-righteous guys at TVA get humiliated, isn't it?
"This thing is quite interesting, but it's still far inferior to what Tony Stark made." Finally, Ancient One took a look at Nick Fury's Green Goblin skateboard and disappeared at the expo.
"I can't find it in the past, and I don't know if you can reveal your identity in the future." As soon as he came back from the past, Gu Yi started to check the future without stopping.
However, she checked a million futures in one go, but still couldn't find the space to answer the question!
She could see that there would be many more rounds of answering questions in the future, and even Doctor Strange Stephen Strange went to this answering space to answer questions, but still couldn't find where the answering space was!
As for the mysterious person who set the questions, not even his shadow could be seen.
"In these million futures, TVA has never appeared, not even once..." An unconcealable shock flashed across Gu Yi's eyes.
Among a million futures, there is no future in which TVA appears, which almost proves that TVA knows nothing about this answer space.
Of course, a million futures are not necessarily absolute. Maybe if she looks at it a few more times, she will see the future where the questioner is cut out by TVA. But Ancient One is not a pervert. Wouldn't it be annoying to see the future so many times?
For example, when Stephen Strange was fighting Thanos in the future, he actually checked more than 14 million futures. Ancient One got goosebumps just thinking about it.
How much patience does it take to see so much of the future?
All I can say is that Stephen Strange is worthy of being her chosen successor. He is excellent in all aspects and has the potential to become the greatest wizard.
"Since we can't find the person who set the question, let's see how much impact the person who set the question will have on Strange's future." So, Ancient One checked Stephen Strange's future again.
After reading some of them, Ancient One laughed again, because in the futures that appeared in the answering space that she saw, they were all beneficial to Stephen Strange without exception.
"The person who set the question, I didn't expect that there is someone like you in this world. Even TVA and I can't find you." Gu Yi started drinking tea again.
Since the person who set the question would not have any adverse impact on Stephen Strange taking over her position and would not affect her "retirement", she didn't bother to care.
