Chapter 804
Coulson is clairvoyant, and the reason why he came to such a conclusion is because of the case that Claire experienced.
Four days earlier, Coulson had held a meeting of agents in his car, the Airbus. The participants were all one of the few Level 8 agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Including Elizabeth Hand who led the rescue after Coulson's kidnapping last time, Coulson's old friend John Garrett, and the capable Agent Black, and Sitwell. And this conference was convened for only one purpose, and that was to capture the legendary clairvoyant.
A meeting with a senior agent of this magnitude would be unconventional, but it seems to have become Coulson's specialty.
"Garrett, what's that smell like on you?" Since Coulson insisted on waiting until the flight altitude reached five thousand feet to ensure the safety of the meeting, they still had some free time at this time. Sitwell, on the other hand, snorted and said to John Garrett with a look of disgust, "Why do you have such a heavy earthy smell?"
"Yes? I've already taken a shower. As if he didn't believe it, John Galle pulled up his leather jacket and sniffed it under his nose before explaining, "Oh, you know, my recent mission has always been dealing with bomb shelters and tunnels, and once I almost got buried in the ceiling of the safe house, and it was inevitable that I would get a little smell. ”
"I see. Sitwell nodded understandingly, "I suggest you dry clean the clothes you're wearing in addition to yourself." ”
Sitwell had another mission on the plane, and that was to arrange for Alexander Pierce to come over and make a final confirmation of John Garrett's loyalty. According to Pierce's order, "I sent you over for one last confirmation, you don't have to participate in this case, anyway, before the official start, I will transfer you away." ”
"So you don't have to do anything after you pass, you don't have to say anything, you just need to tell me what you see. ”
It seemed like a relatively normal arrangement, but at the end Pierce asked a little strangely, "I heard, and I only heard, that John Garrett wanted to bury himself alive in the earth for three days?
"Uhh ”
"There's nothing to regret, it's not your fault. "Since the last conversation about how to deal with the collusion between the umbrella and the bloody tongue, Pierce has become more and more serious about Sitwell. What's more, although he said that he had heard about it just now, in fact, with his authority, John Garrett's every move could not be concealed from him, and he had obtained the exact information.
However, when he got this information, he thought that this so-called live burial might be a code name for some operation, and after he learned that the so-called live burial was indeed the literal meaning, even with his wisdom he thought about it for three days and didn't figure out why. So he had nothing to blame Sitwell. "Anyway, you go and test it, remember not to be too obvious!"
And after that random question just now, according to John Garrett's reaction, Sitwell determined... This is actually a real burial, but why is that?
"The plane reached cruising altitude and was 90 degrees above the North Pole. Melinda walked over to join the group of senior agents chatting. With her agent level, she participated in such a meeting, not to mention her real agent level, which is one level higher than everyone present.
At the beginning of the meeting, John Garrett first explained to his old friend Coulson: "Sorry for this complicated, but the reason why I did it was to be cautious." ”
"Why be cautious?" was a boring question, as with so many high-ranking agents getting together, even if it was just a matter of secrecy here, it naturally needed to be treated with caution. However, since the person who had just explained it was John Garrett, Sitwell also asked.
"Because of clairvoyance. Coulson, as the convener of the meeting, directly stated the theme of the meeting, which can be regarded as answering the question for John Garrett: "If anyone really can read minds, at least here, we are a little away from him." ”
John Garrett added, "Coulson, he thought to himself, maybe the Northern Lights would be able to knock out a few bars of signal from his mind-reading wire." ”
"Coulson..."Agent Hand shook his head after hearing this, and Blake also said with some disapproval, "You know what S.H.I.E.L.D. thinks about mind reading, they don't exist, do you suddenly believe it?"
"It's not all of a sudden. Coulson hung up his signature good old man and smiled and said, "Some time ago, I heard from a friend that there is a woman who can change a man's mind just by her voice. ”
"Although I didn't witness it with my own eyes, I saw a group of large living people turned into half-decomposed corpses in less than two hours, and they could still fight us with rifles, such a bizarre thing could happen, what else could be impossible?"
"The Enchantress Lorelei," Blake whispered the name, "the movement of that incident is not small. ”
The most immediate impact of that case was the creation of Lorelei's First Amendment, which revealed the specifics of superpowers and magical crimes. And the impact on S.H.I.E.L.D. is that the cause of Lorelei's case was finally taken away by the Black Chapter Department and the U.S. government, which made S.H.I.E.L.D. miserable, and what was even more bizarre was that this demon girl was taken away in front of Coulson's eyes.
"That's right. Coulson ignored what Blake was trying to say, and just said, "So I think it's very likely that this clairvoyant is a superpowered or a person with magical abilities, so out of an abundance of caution, I sent an invitation to the advisor." ”
"Evenson Richter," said Hand, still with that expressionless face, "I know that your group doesn't work with consultants once or twice anyway, and to be honest Coulson, sometimes I really think that this consultant is as if the director hired it for your team." ”
"Don't say that. Coulson looked flattered, "We have to pay for inviting him here, at least the food and drinks on our plane are now rationed, not for nothing." ”
"But he hasn't shown up until now. John Garrett said with some uneasiness, "He shouldn't be able to come, right?"
He really didn't want Evenson to come over. Due to his obsession with the Death Warrior program, he immediately led his henchmen to the location of the incident after seeing it in his time at Lorelei.
The reason for this is because Evenson says that the land of the bar is a legendary corpse breeding ground, and that the gathering of magical energy can bring the dead back to life. So he took a trachea in his mouth, buried himself in the earth for three whole days, and then poured gold on himself, but nothing happened.
He thought to himself at that time, the consultant is so powerful! It is said that the dragon vein in this place is cut off, which really makes the soil here have no effect at all! So although he has made some preparations in advance, he really can't guarantee that the consultant will come out after this time.
"It's time to count..."Coulson looked at his watch and felt a little strange, so he asked Melinda, "Are you sure you can contact him?"
"I'm pretty sure. Melinda rolled her eyes and said, "That kid's phone is down, or I charged him the phone bill, and I specially set up a message box business for him, so he will definitely receive our messages." ”
"Hearing you say that, I don't know the bottom of my heart. Coulson propped his hands on the table and shook his head helplessly.
"Sorry, there's something Evenson can't do. But at this moment, a large burst of flowers suddenly appeared in the conference room, and a golden portal opened, and Claire walked out of it, "I'll do him a favor this time, and everyone, can you put down the pistol?"
Coulson: They weren't surprised, but it was the first time that Agent Hande had seen Claire's portal, so they were nervous and pulled out their pistols and waited for them.
"Claire Ludwig. "Melinda's girlfriend, Evenson's girlfriend, is a white wizard. ”
"Don't call me a White Wizard, I prefer the title of Templar Mystic. And you guys are really, actually flying in such a place. Claire also didn't care whether their pistols were put away or not, and said in a complaining tone, "The aurora here has interfered with my teleportation magic, and I managed to locate it with great difficulty, but this is me, if it's my senior sister, maybe... No, it's going to fall into the sea. ”
Hand and Blake looked at each other, the Northern Lights were really disturbing?
"Why did you come here?" asked Coulson, incredulous. Strictly speaking, this is the first time he has met Claire in the real sense, although he has seen it from the file, Evenson's little girlfriend is not simple, but... Do you really take a job at S.H.I.E.L.D. as a part-time job? You don't get a lot of special allowances, and you actually send your girlfriend to take over the shift? This money is not enough for the two of you to earn, is it?!
"Do you have any opinions?" Originally, Claire was very annoyed that Evenson didn't bring her with her in the Raider Evil Rift this time, but now when she heard Coulson ask like this, she obviously had a sense of distrust, so she couldn't help but retort immediately, "Listen, Evenson is very strong, but I'm not bad either, I'm now the chief secret mage of Kama Taj, and even the current Supreme Mage doesn't dare to talk to me loudly!"
Still had some concerns about Claire, and didn't tell her a lot of titles and shadow supreme.
"Uhh Forget it, Evenson's unreliability is not a day or two. The most important thing is that this person who is here now can also do magic.
"Ms. Ludwig..."
"Call me Claire. ”
"Yes, Ms. Claire. Coulson prepared his words and asked, "From your professional point of view, foresight of the future... Is it possible?"
"It's entirely possible. Claire nodded, which made the agents look different, but she continued, "But this condition is very harsh, and it can only be done by borrowing a very rare prop, as for others, they may be able to predict some futures through dreams under some special conditions, but that kind of prediction is very vague and uncertain, and has little value." ”
"That's right," Coulson nodded, "and what about mind reading?"
"This also exists. Claire now acted like an advisor, and replied from a very professional perspective, "There are some arcane mages, especially dark wizards, who can adjust their mental frequencies and synchronize their target's brain waves to learn the other person's thoughts. ”
"However, there are very few people who can do this, at least as far as I know, no one alive can do this, and these methods are only useful for the simple-minded and weak-willed, the slightly more complex ones he can't read, and most importantly, he must have been in contact with the target and fully understand the mental frequency of the other party. ”
"So he can't read macroscopically on a large scale without an aim?" Coulson, you asked hurriedly.
"Of course. Claire nodded and said, "Everyone's mental frequency is different, and if he doesn't make contact with the target and fully understand the other party's frequency, he won't be able to achieve synchronization at all." As for the large-scale... I don't know if the legendary brainwave amplifier is real, but if it only relies on the human brain, it releases a wide range of spiritual waves, which will make him mentally exhausted and die of brain necrosis in an instant. ”
That's in line with my guess... Coulson was overjoyed, and then said politely to Claire, "Thank you very much for your help, Ms. Claire, please go down and rest first." ”
"What? is it?" Claire wondered, "Is Evenson so idle every time he comes to the plane?"
"Hmm... That's pretty much it. Coulson perfunctorily sent Claire into a room far away from the conference room.
Claire wasn't Evenson after all, and Coulson didn't know much about him, so he couldn't be involved in specific assignments like Evenson.
"You've all heard it. When Coulson returned, he said to Hand, "According to professional advice, and what I had previously assumed, clairvoyance is hidden among the people we have been in contact with by S.H.I.E.L.D., with a focus on those we have tried to recruit. ”
Everyone was intently considering this possibility, and Melinda was the same, but she glanced to the side without noticing, only to find that Claire had actually passed through the wall lightly, and only she seemed to be able to see it.
Hush... Claire put her finger to her lips and made a silent gesture at Melinda. Hey, I want to leave the old lady aside, and you guys will find out about it first!
