Chapter 31 Fear? No, it's a responsibility

I see, it turned out that it was this incident that brought S.H.I.E.L.D. to its attention. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Evenson breathed a sigh of relief, because there are too many people doing such things like venture capital, and he is only being paid special attention to because he has special powers. As for Coulson's inquiry, it should be just a suspicion, and there will be no substantive evidence at all, just to probe his own tone.

Of course, if he finds something wrong in the conversation, the matter may not be resolved that way. Don't underestimate a professionally trained senior agent, your accidental remark, inadvertent action, or even an expression or look can be caught by their camera-like eyes, which can be used as a reason for suspicion.

"Let's be honest then, Agent Coulson. Thinking about the reason, Evenson immediately turned on the flickering mode, and his expression became very serious, "You, or S.H.I.E.L.D., should be suspicious, I have those abilities that can predict the future, or I used some special powers to lead or participate in the disappearance of Tony Stark, right?"

"Yes, we do doubt it. Since the words were spoken, Coulson had nothing to hide, so he generously admitted it.

"Okay, what's over there?" said Evenson, pointing abruptly to the side of the room.

Coulson looked in the direction of Evenson's finger and saw a trash can filled with a pile of instant noodle buckets.

"That was my breakfast today and dinner and lunch yesterday. Evenson explained to Coulson, and then yelled like a pestle in the corner, "Dumen, you forgot to take out the trash, how can I have such lazy subordinates as you." ”

"Do you think I'd eat those things if I had the ability to see the future? I'd get cancer if I ate too much," Evenson asked, "How much profit would I make from reselling Stark Industries' stock? 10,000 or 20,000? I have the ability, how good would I go and buy a lottery ticket?"

Although this time, Evenson claimed to have made a lot of money, but in fact, he didn't have much money, and it was more than $10,000 a day. But if you win the U.S. lottery, tens of millions of dollars are possible.

"Looking over there. Coulson was about to speak, but Evenson pointed to the other side of the room, "What's that?"

Coulson had no choice but to look at it again, "A globe, and the quality is very poor. ”

"I didn't let you judge his quality. Coulson casually pointed out that the terrestrial quality of the globe was of terrible quality, which annoyed Evenson. "Do you think that in fact, I will be like Chaplin's satirical comedy, hugging it all day long and fantasizing, conquering the world with magic?"

"Sharp irony, I admit that this suspicion is a bit far-fetched. Coulson was defeated by Evenson's remarks with a gun and a stick.

"Far-fetched? No, it's not far-fetched at all. "Evenson is unforgiving" It's like 30 years ago, a Porsche roadster was speeding down the road, and if the driver was white, it didn't matter at all, if the driver was black, he would be stopped by the police and pressed to the front of the car and searched. ”

"Hi man, we didn't discriminate against you. Coulson hurriedly explained, "You know, you have a power that ordinary people can't understand, and what happened this time is too coincidental, I'm just routinely here to understand the situation, you have to understand me." ”

"Yes, I totally understand. Evenson tilted his head to the side, "like a police officer at that time, suspecting that a black man must have stolen a good car." ”

"I apologize okay, man, we really didn't discriminate against you in any way, we just ........." Coulson had to apologize helplessly.

"It's just fear, isn't it? Evenson interrupted Coulson's words and said directly.

Under Coulson's inexplicable gaze, Evenson continued, "I understand that humans are always afraid of forces that they cannot understand, and this is why in the Middle Ages, humans were crazy about persecuting those accused of witches, and this is why Bruno was burned at the stake. ”

"Listen. Coulson took a deep breath and explained solemnly, "In the eyes of S.H.I.E.L.D., whether it's you, a warlock, or those mutants, there's not much difference. Because you all have supernatural powers that ordinary people cannot comprehend, you are likely to shatter the normal and fragile worldview of ordinary people when you appear. And you have no meaning for the progress of the entire human civilization, because your power is not replicable, or you have very high learning conditions, and you cannot popularize the entire human society, which is why when it comes to human development and progress, it chooses science over magic or any other ability. It is our responsibility to conceal the truth that humanity should not yet know. It's this responsibility that forces us to be suspicious, not fearful, you know? ”

Coulson's words silenced Evenson. Because he knows very well that the development of human beings to the way they are today does not rely on a few mutant black technology, but on the most basic science. Iron Man can't let all of humanity fly as freely as he does, Hulk can't make others invulnerable, and Thor, the god of thunder, who is called a god, can't wait to bless humanity with good weather and double the food.

And it is science that allows most of humanity to be fed and not starve for thousands of miles because of a locust plague. Solving plagues such as the Black Death, smallpox, and cholera will not be like the end of the world because of a flu, and it is also science to increase the average life expectancy of humans by nearly twenty years.

It can be said politely that whether it is those mutants who have gained great power because of mutations, or mages who don't know where to hide in the hermage, if they don't occasionally pop out to save the world, their contribution to human society is infinitely close to zero. And while they save the world, humanity itself has avoided extinction countless times by virtue of universal science.

"Hmph, it looks like I'm the one who says I'm sorry. Evenson whispered, "Well, that's it, I shouldn't be sarcastic about you, but it's really uncomfortable to be suspected for no reason." ”

"Apologize again and thank you for your understanding. "Seeing that the other party is so open-minded, Coulson is not a stingy person" Then, our contact this time is over. Thank you again for your cooperation. ”

"Wait a minute, Agent Coulson. Coulson's mission was over, and he was ready to take his leave. But just like last time, Evenson came again and said, stay. Due to the last incident, Coulson was almost instinctively nervous, and this time it couldn't be the Red Skull resurrected.

"If you don't have Tony Stark's whereabouts yet and you're still looking for it, I can help. Unexpectedly, this time Evenson said good news.

Before Coulson could react, he heard Evenson shout to the door, "Habs, there's work to be done." ”
