"Everyone, there must be something wrong with this question."
Star-Lord glanced around and spoke to everyone in a completely bewildered tone, "My mother died of a brain tumor, she wasn't killed by someone."
"Star-Lord, do you really believe the answer system could be wrong?"
Tony Stark's rhetorical question, asked as if it were the most natural thing in the world, left Star-Lord speechless.
Indeed.
Could such an incredibly miraculous and heaven-defying system as the answer system really make a mistake?
Star-Lord simply couldn't believe it.But this question, no matter how you look at it, just doesn't seem right.
Her mother had been bedridden for a long time due to a brain tumor, and in the end, he personally witnessed her death on the hospital bed. This is an indisputable fact.
It can't be wrong.
Even if Star-Lord was young at the time, how could he forget such a deeply etched memory?
He still remembers it vividly to this day.
"Star-Lord, although this might be sudden and perhaps hard to accept, there's clearly more to your mother's death than meets the eye," Captain America said with a serious expression."Is there something else going on?" Star-Lord was stunned for a moment. He had a brain tumor, what secrets could there be?
His mother died of illness, not some kind of accident.
But then Star-Lord thought again, he only knew his mother had a brain tumor because his family told him, that's all.
He had never seen the hospital's diagnosis, test reports, or anything like that.
He was young at the time, so naturally no one would show him these things, and he wouldn't have asked to see them.
So it's possible that his mother didn't die of a brain tumor at all?Or did they die of something else?
Did his family lie to him because they didn't want to scare a little kid?
Or were his family also kept in the dark?
"Star-Lord, I have a lot to say on this matter."
Tony Stark also began to speak to Star-Lord, "I always thought my parents died in a car accident, until one day, the quiz system suddenly asked a question about how my parents died."
"My reaction was the same as yours, but after I answered the question, I knew the truth about my parents' death.""Now, it's your turn. Do you want to know the truth about your mother's death?"
"If what you say is true, and there's more to my mother's death, then of course I want to find out." After some thought, Star-Lord began to slowly accept this, and he responded in a deep voice.
"However!" Tony Stark changed the subject at this moment, and added, "It's only possible that there's more to your mother's death. We can't be sure. Everything will only be known after answering the questions."
"Fine, then let's figure it out now." Star-Lord said, his eyes gleaming.With his words, everyone in the room turned their attention to the big screen.
"Died from overwork and illness, that's how I remember my mother's death." Star-Lord first glanced at option A and said to everyone.
"From the time I have memories, I didn't have a father. My mother raised me alone, so she had a very hard life."
"That's a painful memory for me. I couldn't take care of my mother, and in the end, I could only watch her lying in bed, getting thinner and thinner, and finally stop breathing."When Star-Lord spoke of this, his voice was filled with heaviness and a faint trace of sorrow.
Even after so many years, he still couldn't let go of this memory when he recalled it.
"So, option A is currently the fact in Star-Lord's memory. This option has two possibilities: one, this is the fact; two, this is only the fact in Star-Lord's memory, and the real fact holds another mystery."
"Because Star-Lord was still young at the time, there's a possibility he couldn't see through the truth."
"We cannot exclude this option, but we also cannot confirm it."Dr. Banner analyzed this option.
"If it were me, I would tend to rule out this option," Tony Stark said.
"Why? Stark, did you find something?" Strange couldn't help but ask from the side. How could there be anything wrong with this option?
"That's how I ruled out the option of my parents' death back then," Tony Stark shrugged and explained his theory to everyone again.Because of all the information the answering system has revealed, all the information about the main universe is about the future, and it has never revealed information about the past.
Not even once.
The only two times questions revealed the past were about the Avengers' universe being wiped out and Captain Carter's universe.
Apart from that, there are no exceptions.
So, what is the probability that this question reveals the past?
From a probabilistic point of view, it is very, very small.In other words, this question is very likely to reveal the future, which indicates that in the future, the matter of Star-Lord's mother's death will be brought back to the table.
Or it will be reinvestigated, or some other things will arise, causing Star-Lord to have a new understanding of his mother's death.
So why would this happen?
There must be something more to Star-Lord's mother's death.
"That makes sense," Star-Lord said, nodding involuntarily after listening.Setting aside the content of the question itself and considering the pattern of the question system, this question indeed has a certain directionality.
"A very novel perspective," Strange also nodded, "but it must be said, there is some truth to it."
After everyone's discussion, option A was temporarily excluded.
Of course, the reason for exclusion is not entirely sufficient.
If the other options have more compelling reasons for exclusion than the pattern of the question system, option A might still be retained.
"So what about B, being killed by a curse from an enemy?"Star-Lord then turned his gaze to option B, his brow furrowing slightly, "What on earth is a 'Gu'?"
"In my quest to find a cure for myself, I've traveled to many places and encountered a lot of strange things. I've heard of 'Gu' before," said Dr. Banner, proving his extensive knowledge as a true doctor. "It's said to be a form of witchcraft. They control various kinds of insects, invade others' bodies, and use them to achieve all sorts of purposes."
"That sounds absolutely disgusting," Thor couldn't help but comment with a look of disdain."Thor, that's your prejudice. Voodoo isn't necessarily bad; it can be used to save people!" Dr. Banner said to Thor in a serious tone. "Of course, it can also be used to harm people! And this thing is very mysterious. Even making someone look like they died from a tumor, I think that's possible."
"No!"
Star-Lord shook his head decisively. "Even if this voodoo thing could make my mother sick and die, my mother didn't have any enemies!""My mother is the most beautiful and gentle person in the world. She got along very well with her neighbors and colleagues, and everyone liked her very much."
"How could she possibly have any enemies?"
"Let alone an enemy who would kill her!"
"Are you sure, Star-Lord?" Captain America glanced at Star-Lord and asked seriously, "Have you never seen any strange people, or heard your mother mention anything?"
"I am certain!" Star-Lord replied without hesitation, firmly.Everyone didn't say much more. Although Star-Lord was quite young at that time, she was his mother, and they lived together every day.
The little details and various aspects of daily life were not entirely unnoticeable.
Since Star-Lord was so adamant in saying no, everyone could only choose to believe him for the time being.
"So what about C? Died from being implanted with an alien virus?"
With option B concluded, Thor turned his attention to option C and asked aloud, "Could an alien virus be mistaken for something like that brain tumor thing?""That's possible, but interstellar grudges?" Star-Lord immediately threw up his hands. "That makes no sense at all! My mother was just a regular Missouri girl, oh, sorry, Earthling. How would she get involved in anything interstellar?"
"What if it wasn't because of your mother, but because of your father?" But Strange's leisurely follow-up question caused Star-Lord to freeze.
"'A god in mortal form,' Star-Lord, there's a good chance your father is a god!" Strange reminded him from the side.
"Dude, thanks for the heads-up."Star-Lord was slightly speechless, "But you don't need to mention the 'god-like being comparable to a mortal' thing."
"You just mentioned it yourself," Strange reminded him again.
Star-Lord: "..."
"In short, option C seems to have a possibility," Captain America said to everyone seriously, "We have no way to rule out this option for the time being."
Not only can't it be ruled out, but this option is even the most likely of all the current options.
After all, Star-Lord's father really isn't human."Let's hold off on option C for now and take a look at the last option."
Dr. Banner said from the side, clicking his tongue, "Star-Lord's father killed Star-Lord's mother? I'm not sure how to analyze this option."
"We don't need to look at this option, right?" Star-Lord immediately shook his head, firmly believing it was impossible. "What kind of person would kill their own wife?"
"The world has everything, especially crazy people."Thor just shrugged on the side and said, "This is my experience from living for fifteen hundred years. I've seen crazier things than killing your wife. Do you want to hear about them?"
"No way! Why would I want to hear about that crap?" Star-Lord looked at Thor like he was crazy, with a disgusted expression.
"Star-Lord, I think it's better to put aside subjective factors at this time." Strange also spoke up from the side, "Husbands killing wives, although rare, still happens every year. Thor is right, there are plenty of crazy people in this world.""And your father? Although it might be a bit offensive to say this, he left you and your mother and disappeared without a trace. I wouldn't consider him a model husband or anything of the sort."
"You're right, there's no shortage of such lunatics in the world, but what are the odds?" Tony Stark also joined in the analysis, speaking with his usual professional tone.
"As for the scenario described in option D, we know nothing about it. Without any clues to analyze, all we can do is look at the probabilities.""From a probability standpoint, such lunatics are extremely rare, so the likelihood of Star-Lord's father being one of them is not very high."
"See?" Star-Lord gestured to everyone with a shrug, "This is professional analysis!"
Although he harbored no fondness for the father he had never met, and at times even felt resentment towards him.
No matter what, he couldn't accept the idea that his father was a deranged lunatic who killed his wife.
"So there's no doubt about this question, the answer is C!" Star-Lord then asserted confidently to everyone.To this end, he even conjured up some scenarios in his mind, "It's possible that my father really had some enemies, so he left us when I was little, afraid that his enemies would find us. He might have wanted to protect us in this way."
"But in the end, unexpectedly, tragedy still happened. This is truly unfortunate."
Regarding Star-Lord's imagined story, everyone remained noncommittal, but after a brief discussion about the answer to the question, they all unanimously agreed that C was the most likely.
"It seems I'm the only one left who hasn't answered the question, right?"Strange glanced at everyone and then gave his answer, "I choose C, death due to interstellar grudges!"
[Incorrect answer!]
Immediately afterward, this prompt sounded.
Strange was speechless. He remembered that he had answered the question incorrectly last time, and now he was wrong again?
Two wrong answers in a row?
What kind of luck is this?
[Contestant Stephen Strange will receive the reward of having his driving skills erased, executing immediately!]
Whoosh!
Strange's driving skills disappeared just like that.From now on, Strange has become a man who can't drive, a pity for the luxury car parked in his garage.
"Everyone, the answer is definitely not C. It seems we need to analyze it more carefully." Strange quickly accepted the fact that he couldn't drive and said seriously to everyone.
"It's not C?" Dr. Banner looked surprised.
No matter how you look at it, option C is the most presentable and flawless of all the options.
"Since it's not C, then which of the three options, A, B, and D, is the most likely?""Star-Lord looked at the remaining options and said.
'A and D are both analyzed from the perspective of probability theory. From a probabilistic standpoint, the likelihood of these two options is not high.'
'Option B is a judgment based on Star-Lord's memory. What is the possibility that Star-Lord remembered incorrectly, or due to his young age, failed to notice that there were enemies at home?'
'Is the probability greater than the other two options?'
Tony Stark glanced at everyone present and spoke.
