With Fang Yuan's guidance, the origin of this mysterious hammer was found.
mjolnir, the weapon of Thor in Norse mythology.
The reason it was identified so quickly was that the patterns on the hammer were identical to those of mjolnir in myths and legends.
But as for whether this hammer truly was the one in Thor's hand, that remained to be studied.
S.H.I.E.L.D. quickly set up a containment facility here, while also requisitioning relevant experimental equipment from the surrounding area.
Meanwhile, Fang Yuan used the excuse of looking for clues, and after playing some tricks for a while, he arrived at a desert town.
He happened to see Coulson "borrowing" experimental equipment and research notes from a three-person scientific team.
"They call this borrowing? It's clearly robbery!"
Looking at the departing convoy and the empty laboratory, a woman vented her anger.
"Jane, let them go, we can't stop them."
Another little old man said helplessly.
"Professor Selvig, do you know this S.H.I.E.L.D.?" the last woman in the team asked.
"Yes Daisy, S.H.I.E.L.D. is a rogue organization within the government, notorious among scientists." Erik Selvig sighed deeply, "I've never seen experimental data targeted by them being returned."
"Excuse me, are you Professor Erik Selvig?"
A male voice sounded at that moment.
The three turned to look, and their eyes lit up; the speaker was, of course, Fang Yuan.
The two women had been facing that old geezer Selvig all day; now that a handsome guy had appeared, the feeling was immediately different.
Jane Foster was a bit better, as she had just hit it off with a handsome guy she had accidentally run into twice, but her assistant was different.
"Yes, this is Professor Selvig!"
Daisy immediately rushed over and warmly introduced the three of them.
"This is Dr. Jane Foster."
"I'm Daisy Lewis, Jane's intern!" She patted her chest as she introduced herself, immediately causing a stir.
If 'big chest, no brains' were a real setting in this World, then Daisy Lewis would be the type who could be tricked eight times with a single lollipop.
Of course, this was also the type Fang Yuan liked.
"My name is Fang Yuan, nice to meet you." Fang Yuan proactively reached out his hand, "I must say, Daisy, you are really beautiful!"
"Really?" Daisy shook Fang Yuan's hand, feeling flattered, her cheeks flushing.
She was the academic type, and most of the boys she encountered were as stiff as wood; she had never heard such sweet words.
Jane and Erik glanced at each other, both shaking their heads helplessly.
This silly girl was swooning without even figuring out what the other person did.
Erik spoke up in time: "Fang Yuan? I wonder what business you have with me?"
Jane also hurried to pull Daisy back to her side.
"If you're here to ask us for research data and equipment, then you're too late." Jane was still brooding, "Everything has already been snatched by S.H.I.E.L.D.!"
To their surprise, Fang Yuan replied, "Oh? Coulson and the others have already been here?"
The three of them were startled and then looked over with wary eyes.
"Are you with S.H.I.E.L.D. too?" Daisy looked disappointed.
If Fang Yuan were from S.H.I.E.L.D., she couldn't openly get close to him, as her boss had many grievances against them.
"Maybe ask for his contact information secretly?" Daisy thought to herself.
"Don't misunderstand."
Fang Yuan cleared their wariness with just one sentence.
"I'm not here to take your things. On the contrary, I can help you get them back."
Jane was pleasantly surprised; those records were the results of her long-term research, and the equipment was tuned and assembled by their team, impossible to buy on the market.
Erik, who understood S.H.I.E.L.D.'s style, was not as optimistic. He asked directly, "What do you need us to do?"
Fang Yuan smiled slightly: "I heard you sent a car accident victim to the town hospital last night, but he disappeared today. I think you might know where he is?"
Jane's expression tightened, immediately realizing Fang Yuan was here for that handsome blonde guy, so she said subconsciously, "Him? We don't know. He was already gone when we went to the hospital."
Hearing this, Dr. Erik and Daisy glanced at each other, their eyes saying'she's hopeless.'
For a handsome guy she had only met twice, Jane had thrown the experimental data and equipment to the back of her mind; she was clearly starting to fall for him.
Erik suddenly felt this exchange of glances was familiar, as if he had just experienced it.
"Sigh, youth is such a hassle," Erik sighed inwardly. "Unlike me, I've dedicated my whole life to science!"
Meanwhile, Fang Yuan took out his phone, pulled up a picture, and handed it to the three of them with a playful tone: "So, this muscular man who was eating at the same table as you an hour ago is someone else you ran into?"
"Uh..."
Jane fell silent. After seeing the phone screen clearly, she looked helplessly at Daisy: "You actually posted it on social media?"
Daisy replied innocently, "S.H.I.E.L.D. hadn't shown up before this."
But seeing that Fang Yuan's phone was actually following her personal page, Daisy felt a bit secretly happy.
"He actually follows me, that's great!"
With ironclad evidence before her, Jane couldn't deny it anymore. Besides, the experimental equipment was indeed very important to them, so she had to ask, "Why are you looking for him?"
"To protect him!" Fang Yuan spread his hands. "It's dangerous for an outsider to stay here."
The three of them also knew Thor was unusual; his behavior and speech clearly weren't local.
Jane immediately asked, "Do you know where he's from?"
Fang Yuan shook his head: "We'll have to find him to know that."
"He went to the Crater." Jane finally revealed Thor's whereabouts.
Fang Yuan said intentionally, "Oh? It seems I didn't really need to make this trip, because that place has already been cordoned off by the authorities."
In her anxiety, Jane became quite panicked: "Ah? Then will he be in danger?"
"That area is now a Military Restricted Zone; trespassing could result in being shot," Fang Yuan suggested. "Why don't you come back with me? Your things should be kept there as well."
"Okay!"
All three of them agreed. Whether it was the blonde hunk or the experimental equipment, everything was over there; they had plenty of reasons to say yes.
Fang Yuan smiled slightly. Knowing the plot by heart, how could he not know Thor's whereabouts? It was all just to establish contact with Jane and the others first.
Approaching Thor directly wouldn't have been very effective, but using Jane and her team as a breakthrough was a different story.
Thor was a top-tier combatant in the Avengers, worthy of Fang Yuan's efforts to bluff—no, to treat with care.
The town was 50 kilometers from the Crater, not a long distance, but since it was close to evening, it was already dark and raining heavily by the time Fang Yuan and the others arrived.
However, Fang Yuan didn't see the handsome blonde guy; he only saw two mud-covered figures rolling on the ground.
Thor was desperate to retrieve mjolnir. Despite the many S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents guarding the site and having lost his divine power, he still broke into the center of the Crater single-handedly.
The physical fitness of Asgardians is generally more than three times that of Earthlings; even without divine power, Thor could take on ten men.
Provided it was hand-to-hand combat.
Fang Yuan and the others watched from the perimeter as Thor showed off his prowess, charging all the way to the hammer. He used every ounce of strength he had but still couldn't pull it out, and in the end, he could only let out a mournful cry.
"Ah!"
Thor's cry was filled with sorrow, and even Jane was affected by it, but Fang Yuan knew this was a path Thor had to take.
The entire Thor movie was actually a lesson from the God-King Odin to his rebellious son.
As the son of the God-King, Thor was also the strongest fighter in Asgard after Odin and the recognized next King of Asgard.
However, Thor was reckless and short-tempered, acting without thinking, which in Odin's eyes made him unfit for the throne.
So, after Thor recklessly attacked the Frost Giants of Jotunheim and caused a major war, Odin stripped him of his divine power and banished him.
Of course, the banishment was a facade; the true purpose was to temper him.
Odin hoped that through these trials, Thor would learn the mercy a king should possess.
Unfortunately, Odin overlooked that he had another problem child—Loki.
Loki had always felt that Odin favored Thor, so he was eager to compete for the throne of Asgard, and this time he finally saw an opportunity.
He wanted to prove he was more worthy of being the heir than Thor, so the God of Mischief began to stir up trouble.
The reason Thor recklessly attacked Jotunheim was because he was manipulated by Loki.
Loki wasn't purely evil; he just wanted to sideline his competitor so he could implement his own plans.
But this truly disrupted Odin's plans.
Even worse things followed. Loki discovered his true identity as the son of Laufey, the King of the Frost Giants, which made him doubt Odin's feelings even more. After an argument, Odin finally couldn't hold on and fell into a deep sleep.
He was already old enough that his body could no longer withstand his divine power; in his final years as God-King, he had to enter a deep sleep to alleviate the internal conflicts.
With Odin in a deep sleep and the Crown Prince banished, Loki naturally took temporary control of Asgard.
For Loki, he naturally wanted to remove the word "temporary" and become the true King of Asgard.
Thor was his greatest threat.
Thus, in Fang Yuan's perception, a green figure appeared beside Thor, who had been taken into an Interrogation Room.
Loki.
He had come to deceive his brother, claiming that Odin had died of anger due to Thor's recklessness. Now he was the King of Asgard, and because Thor was the culprit behind the war between Asgard and Jotunheim, Thor had to remain in exile for the sake of peace.
Thor believed him.
Though grief-stricken, Thor accepted the judgment passed upon him.
Seeing Thor's expression, a hint of reluctance flashed across Loki's face, but it was quickly replaced by resolve.
"Once I destroy Jotunheim and prove I'm worthy of the throne, Thor can come back," he thought to himself.
Loki was invisible as he came and went; the Agents passing by could not see him.
He didn't pay attention to them either; to him, they were like ants, not even worth a glance.
"Fainting the king and exiling the competitor—excellent coup tactics."
Suddenly, a voice reached Loki's ears, causing him to stop in surprise.
As he stopped, a Sparking Ring Portal appeared beneath Loki's feet, and caught off guard, he fell right through.
*Thud!*
He fell flat on his face outside the restricted zone, and only then did he see Fang Yuan in front of him.
"But for a coup plotter, you're far too soft-hearted, leaving behind a mountain of flaws."
Fang Yuan smiled slightly, as if a demon were whispering, "How about I help you?"
