Chapter 201 Dr. Selvig: Jane is an adult, how much trouble can she cause?
Shortly after Loki left, Dr. Selvig, unable to resist Jane's persistent pleas, reluctantly went to the S.H.I.E.L.D. camp. He tried to use his reputation as collateral to bring back Thor, that seemingly dim-witted fool who had stubbornly barged into the camp.
Of course, Coulson should have been the one to receive him.
But at this moment, Coulson was still on his way to the camp.
So when Sitwell learned of this, he followed the rules and regulations and found Riley, who was gathered in front of the surveillance camera with his teammates, seemingly watching something with great interest.
"Sir, I'm sorry to interrupt your visit again... Someone wishes to see you and is waiting at the entrance."
"See me? I don't know anyone here... Oh, it's him."
At first, Riley was somewhat bewildered when he heard Sitwell say that.
Until they found the old man standing at the entrance, nervously fiddling with his fingers, who looked like he had a hard life, among the multiple images projected on the screen at the same time.
Although Riley couldn't remember what Dr. Selvig looked like, or even his name, she could roughly guess what was going on based on her understanding of the plot.
Then, as he turned and walked towards the camp entrance, he patted Sitwell on the shoulder and continued speaking in a serious tone.
"Oh, and remember to make a copy of the video recording in Thor's room for me later. I want to take it back and enjoy it slowly... I mean, study it slowly, and see what the difference is between Asgardians and us Earthlings."
……
"His name is Donald Blake? Interesting..." [His original English name is BLAKE, not Sheriff Blake's BLACK, so please make a distinction.]
A short while later, Riley met Dr. Selvig at the entrance of the camp.
After giving the old man a quick once-over and memorizing his appearance, Riley maintained a serious tone and asked the question slowly and deliberately.
"So, you're trying to tell me that this tough guy who claims to be Thor, defeated S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, and forced his way through security is actually a medical doctor?"
Of course, it wasn't that Riley disliked the old man and was deliberately making things difficult for him.
As the saying goes, there must be something fishy going on when things seem abnormal.
Thor's forced entry into a classified military area is an undeniable fact.
So, what if Riley acted too agreeable, immediately nodding in agreement and letting Thor go back with Dr. Selvig?
Let's not even talk about what S.H.I.E.L.D. will think...
Dr. Selvig himself would probably become even more nervous, and might even suspect that there was a trap, and turn around and leave on the spot.
"Spider-Man? Good heavens, Jane, what kind of trouble have you gotten me into...!"
And just as Riley had predicted.
Even in New Mexico, in this age of advanced internet technology, Dr. Selvig had clearly heard of Spider-Man.
When Dr. Selvig saw that the person who came to greet him wasn't a seasoned agent in a suit and tie, but this mysterious superhero, his heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but mutter a complaint about the disobedient Jane Foster. But deep down, he breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that with Spider-Man around, that crazy homeless man who always thought he was Thor shouldn't cause too much trouble.
Then, unsure of what to do with his hands, he waved them erratically, revealing his obvious embarrassment and nervousness. He forced himself to continue the conversation and, in a moment of quick thinking, continued to fabricate lies.
"Ahem, what I mean is... yes, sir, he was a medical doctor who later switched to physics, and a very distinguished one at that! He even collaborated with the legendary physicist Dr. Banner on several occasions! Oh! By the way! In his spare time, he also enjoys working out! And during that time, he's tried various types of stimulants!"
"So please believe me, Mr. Spider-Man, he's truly a wonderful person! It's just that he's gone through so much hardship that his mind has gradually become a bit distorted! That's why he did something so stupid under the influence of stimulants! When we get back, I'll definitely give him a good talking-to and keep a close eye on him! Really! I'm willing to vouch for him, there will absolutely not be a next time!"
From their conversation, it's clear that Dr. Selvig's relationship with Banner was such that he knew Banner, but Banner didn't know him.
Nowadays, mentioning Banner's name is merely a way to use him as a shield to increase the credibility of one's own words.
After all, in Dr. Selvig's view...
Ever since Banner became the Hulk, he has been missing.
Even if S.H.I.E.L.D. has immense power, it's not like they'd waste a huge amount of manpower searching for Dr. Banner's whereabouts just for such a trivial matter, only to bring him here for a face-to-face confrontation!
If it's really that coincidental, then I should really try my luck by buying a lottery ticket!
"Oh? Is that so?"
Unfortunately, Dr. Selvig clearly outsmarted himself this time.
He didn't mention Banner's name, and Riley might have thought that the story had reached its conclusion and it was time to let him take Thor away.
Upon hearing Banner's name, Riley, hidden behind his mask, revealed a wicked smile.
After giving a meaningful reply, he walked towards the small shed built next to the entrance, meeting Selvig's gaze. There, he was flipping through Jane Foster's team's research notes with great interest, like a tutor checking a student's paper. He would occasionally pick up a pen and leave annotations and suggestions.
Then, he put his hand on the other person's shoulder, and as the person returned from their reverie to the real world, the smile in his eyes became even more undisguised, and he deliberately shouted loudly.
"Hey! Banner! This gentleman said that Mr. Donald has worked with you many times, is that true?"
"..."
No sooner had Riley finished speaking than Dr. Selvig, channeling Tom Cat, slapped himself hard across the face.
No, why would Dr. Banner himself be on S.H.I.E.L.D. territory?
Is this reasonable? !
I thought I had been bold enough...
I never imagined that reality would be even more outrageous than I had imagined!
It seems I really should buy a lottery ticket after I get back this time...
Of course, this is all on the premise that you can still go back alive after your lie has been exposed to your face!
I initially thought that since we hadn't seen each other for only a few hours and she was already an adult, Jane shouldn't cause too much trouble...
But now, look at what you've done!
An adult...
A highly educated and intelligent scholar...
How could you have caused such a huge disaster?!
As his thoughts raced, Dr. Selvig's facial expressions shifted dramatically, a truly fascinating display.
Even Dr. Selvig, who was already so embarrassed that he could dig a three-bedroom apartment out of the ground with his feet, naturally didn't notice...
Riley, who seemed serious and waiting for Dr. Selvig to give a reasonable explanation, not only secretly activated the soundproofing function of his suit but also burst into unrestrained laughter.
Riley also quietly activated the built-in body camera function, capturing this unexpected but absolutely memorable moment!
