What the hell is this, suddenly saying these things that I don't understand.

Coulson's face was full of sadness now, and he had wanted to know what plan they were talking about through the conversation between Evenson and Melinda. But he didn't expect them to babble as soon as they opened their mouths, and he looked confused! Not to mention analyzing useful information from them, he didn't even know which language they were talking about.

This shows how important a skill is to master a foreign language, and how secrets of S.H.I.E.L.D. are not so easy for irrelevant people to know.

However, to back down from such a difficult situation would be to underestimate our Agent Coulson. Based on his years of knowledge of Melinda, he felt that the language he didn't understand just now was probably Chinese. And although he didn't understand the content and meaning, with his excellent agent skills, he actually memorized the pronunciation of those words.

So, now it's just the meaning of those pronunciations. Coulson spread out three books in front of him, and he took a breath and buried himself in the pile of old papers, rummaging back and forth.

The first book, Introduction to Mandarin Basics, the second book, Xinhua Dictionary, and the third book, How to look up a dictionary. He now put all his hopes in these three books.

"Haven't you found out yet?" After a while, Skye sat impatiently across the table, now that her mechanical exoskeleton had been removed from Fitz.

Coulson glanced up at her, and replied impatiently, "Not yet, I found a lot of words with similar pronunciations, but all of them didn't make sense, and when they were connected, it was inexplicable." So..." Coulson closed the book in distraught, "I think even if they were talking in Chinese just now, I'm afraid those words have been coded, or... There is more than one language in China. ”

"It is not surprising that the world's most populous unitary multi-ethnic country, the oldest ancient civilization in the world, has many languages. Skye shrugged his shoulders and gave Coulson an idea by the way, "Why don't I make up a program, you can say those pronunciations, and let the computer search for them, it's better than if you look up books here." ”

"You can spare me. Coulson rubbed his head, "I can remember the pronunciation of those languages clearly, but if I want to read them with my tongue, it would be easier to cut them out." By the way, how do you feel after getting rid of that mechanical exoskeleton?"

"Hmm...," Skye pouted, reaching out and picking up the coffee cup from the table, "I don't feel anything, that machine is like a part of my body when it is worn on me, and the only thing I need to get used to now is that without the help of those things, my strength seems to have become a little smaller, just get used to it." ”

"By the way, why don't you just try to ask Melinda? ”

Bang!Coulson slammed the table suddenly, as if he was a little angry, but in the end he only let out a long sigh and didn't come out, "It's useless, if she told me, she wouldn't have been hiding it from me for so long." ”

"Who knows, maybe it's because she doesn't tell you to protect you. "Skye felt the need to care about his old godfather's relationship problems" to try it and talk to her calmly. ”

"It's not that simple. Coulson smiled wryly, "She's been receiving special orders that may come directly from the director, and it's clear that I shouldn't know the content of this order, so it's not a matter of trust and affection, it's a matter of discipline." ”

"Thank you for understanding my situation. With the sound of heavy footsteps, Melinda walked slowly over with a piece of printer paper in her armor and a bag in her other hand.

Although Evenson finally sent her the last medicine and gave her this set of armor as promised, the Yangtze River Sword that had been negotiated did not arrive as scheduled, so she had to get a machete herself.

"What are you looking at?" Skye said, she was intrigued by the paper in Melinda's hand, "Is there a new order?"

"No. Melinda didn't care about the paper in her hand, "This is the product manual, telling me what kind of abilities I can use after the last concoction." As she spoke, she squeezed the instructions hard, and a faint green flame emitted from her hand to burn it to ashes.

Skye was clearly amazed by the scene, "Cool, Evenson's magic." ”

"I know, magic, you can see that book, I can't!" but Coulson angrily slapped the table and stood up, "From the first time we met Evenson, I knew that you were more talented than me, had some magical talent, etc... Was that really the first time we met Evenson?"

As a result of what had happened, Coulson was almost suspicious of everything, and he even thought that Melinda might have been in contact with Evenson long before their so-called first meeting, and that that time he was just going through the motions.

"There's a limit to how much you don't trust me, Fill. Melinda's face turned cold, she was a little unhappy with Coulson's suspicions, but when she thought about it deeply, she felt that she had no unhappy position, after all, she had too many things to hide from him, "It was definitely the first time I met Evenson, I promise." ”

"You promise," Coulson shook his head, he really couldn't tell which of Melinda's words was true and which was false, "so from then on, you were ordered by the Director to test whether Evenson's magic could be replicated in ordinary people. ”

"I know that the Director had given Evenson a lot of information to the agents, asking him to pick out one person to study magic, and even Ward was one of them, but in the end they were all eliminated. Come to think of it, those people are actually just cover, right? You're the only one who is really chosen. ”

"Hmm," Melinda frowned, "I neither deny nor admit these things you have said. ”

Evenson did brush off all those agents, and he was indeed the only S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel selected by him, but these things had nothing to do with the Director, and even the Director didn't even know about them.

But this sentence neither admits nor denies, but it is official S.H.I.E.L.D. nonsense alongside this classified matter. So Coulson was very unhappy with this answer: "Come on, Melinda, you and I are both Level 8 agents, can't I really know anything about these things?"

"Not really. Melinda tilted her head, "Phil, you're an eighth-level agent, and I'm actually a ninth-level agent." ”

What the hell? You're actually my superior? Coulson was stunned, "When did this happen? When did you get promoted?" Okay, it doesn't matter, the point is that you're in my group now, and I'm the leader of this group, so aren't you obligated to tell me such a big secret?"

"Not really. Melinda shook her head, "Actually, the real leader of this group, and the person who is really directly accountable to you, Director Nick Fury, has always been me. ”

"What? this can't be!" Coulson was even more shocked, "I formed this group!"

"I formed this group. Melinda sighed, she felt that this time had come, and there was no need to hide some things from Coulson, "It was the list I drew up, and it was I who found the right person to send to you." Why was it that I was so opposed to Skye joining in the first place? because she wasn't on my list, she was unplanned. ”

"So my selection and testing are just going through the motions? The real candidate has already been decided?" Coulson rubbed his brow, "But you're not on the list, I went to find you, and I persuaded you to join." ”

"Heh, Phil, you're not a complicated person. Melinda smiled bitterly, "Do you think the director would not have anticipated your behavior? Moreover, if I really made up my mind to be an in-house officer, I would fly to your side just because you ran into my office and said hello to me?" ”

"Shall we watch a movie hand in hand?" Coulson spread his hands, "Why is this happening?"

"Why?" Melinda shook her head, "You just said that this group heals Evenson's personality, but this is actually only incidental, this group was formed to heal you." ”

"The Tahiti affair has affected you a lot, and I'm actually worried about your condition, so I have this group, and it's all just to keep you stable. ”

"I see... Tahiti—" Coulson sat back slowly as if he had lost his strength, and then looked up blankly at Melinda, "Tahi told me what had happened. ”

"It's... This is a confidential matter. Melinda bit her lip, but in the end she didn't tell the truth. She's said a lot, but there are some things that Coulson never knows. Nobody likes to know that they have been to hell, and no one likes to know that they are locked in a high suite in hell, inside a cage of Cerberus.

Having said that, the two of them were relatively speechless, but at this time, a communication was handed in last time, "Can you receive it? Can you receive it S.H.I.E.L.D. 616, I was being pursued by enemy planes, over." ”

"Garrett?" Coulson instantly recognized that it was his old friend's voice. The other side said anxiously, "I've been attacked, repeat, S.H.I.E.L.D. drones have been sticking to me, they are not friendly." ”

"Do you know what's going on?" Coulson looked at Melinda, there were too many bizarre things today, first suspecting Melinda as a mole, and then finding out that she and Avenson had both received special orders from the Director, and her plane was not only controlled by long-range communications, but now his old friend was being chased and killed by S.H.I.E.L.D. plane, and his mind was completely clueless, "Tell me, is this also the Director's order? What did Nick Fury order?"

"It's not his order. Melinda checked the machete stuck in the back of her waist and said with a cold face, "He can't give orders anymore, Director... It's dead, that's why Evenson contacted me the way he did, and now, that's all I can tell you. ”

Nick Fury is dead?Coulson's mind buzzed. After briefly digesting this information, I think that if this is the case, what happened today may be able to be explained.

The director died, and certainly not a normal death, even from an assassination attempt by saboteurs. And the high-level or committee of S.H.I.E.L.D. has now decided to keep the news secret, and to recall all the senior agents outside by coercive means without giving orders and not explaining the reasons, so as to stabilize the current situation. That's why his plane was suddenly taken over, so all the communication channels of S.H.I.E.L.D. were all noises, in order to avoid revealing news.

But high-level agents are like having paranoia of victimization, although this method is reasonable, but it will make high-level agents feel overwhelmed, and they will definitely find a way to get out of this control, it must be for this reason that Garrett found a way to get out of the remote control of S.H.I.E.L.D., and this manifestation is betrayal in the eyes of the committee, so these drones will attack him. Of course, it's also possible that these drones were sent by the saboteurs who assassinated Nick Fury to clear out the backbone of S.H.I.E.L.D.

And because of the division of management, in S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury is the only one who knows all the secrets, he coordinates and assigns different tasks, and coordinates among them, but he suddenly dies, this coordination is gone, everyone in that group has their own secrets and tasks, and they don't know if they can tell their peers without Nick Fury's approval, which is mutual concealment and mutual suspicion, plus if there is instigation of saboteurs inside, it will inevitably lead to infighting.

I questioned Melinda just now, and the other party looked like she couldn't explain it, maybe it was for this reason.

But most importantly, Nick Fury is no ordinary character, and he can't die without knowing it. He must have seen the clue and arranged countermeasures. No, with his character, even if there is nothing to do, he will definitely take precautions and leave a backup hand for such an extreme situation.

The best proof of this is that Evenson, you contacted Melinda in that particular way just now, and the reason why he showed that coercive and tough posture and contacted Melinda in a language he didn't understand was because the stakes were so high that he couldn't say much.

It all makes sense. Coulson nodded, and said to Melinda in a calm voice, "I don't ask anything now, let's go back together and help S.H.I.E.L.D. through this most dangerous moment." ”

"No, I'm the only one to go back this time. Melinda shook her head resolutely, "You'd better not do anything now. ”

"I—" Coulson abruptly stood up to argue, but eventually sat down weakly, "Okay." ”

Melinda may be carrying out Nick Fury's last order now, but this order obviously does not include herself and others, and if she acts on her own now, it is very likely that she will destroy the overall deployment of the plan, and even be considered a betrayal.

"It's complicated, Phil. Melinda turned around and walked slowly towards the upper deck of the plane, "From now on, you don't trust anyone. ”

"I know. Coulson nodded. When the plane arrived at its intended location, he didn't know if it was someone from S.H.I.E.L.D. or a hidden saboteur waiting for him. And Garrett is now in contact with himself, so in the eyes of the committee, it is very likely that he is in league with him. This old friend is really going to get himself in trouble.

And Garrett was flying the plane at this time, not far from Coulson's Airbus. The drones that followed him kept attacking him, which made him anxious, and he didn't wait for a reply after he sent the communication, which made him even more anxious.

But at this moment, he saw that at the top of the airbus, the interface usually used to park small planes suddenly opened, and a black figure with red eyes slowly crawled out of it.

What is that? It's tens of thousands of meters in the air, and the plane is flying at full speed, and that guy is actually standing on top of the plane so steadily, this is really because the air resistance does not exist!" "Coulson, there seems to be a strange man in medieval armor standing on your plane, do you know what that is?"

"That's... Confidential Matters. ”

Garrett, I'll rub it, Coulson really has something to hide from me, it can't be that he noticed something, right?

And the drone that was following him at this time also seemed to notice Coulson's airbus, and immediately separated one and bit it. Dead following the tail of the plane, about to launch a missile attack.

"Ya... But at this time, the black shadow standing on the plane made an extremely crazy move as if he was crazy, so he spread his way on the top of the plane and rushed towards the tail of the plane, and then jumped forward, not to mention the power of running, but also deliberately blew by the tail air flow of the plane, and the whole person flew like a cannonball to the drone that was going to be behind the plane.

Bang, in his extremely surprised eyes, the black shadow turned in the air and lay on the top of the drone. After crawling forward for two steps, a puff of green smoke came out of his body, and four iron chains that twisted wildly like tentacles stretched out from behind him, all of which were firmly rooted in the drone.

"Are you kidding me?" Garrett's eyes widened as he saw that the drone instantly spread out countless green streaks centered on the man, and flames burned on it. Immediately afterwards, two missiles with stripes were launched, but the two missiles launched forward suddenly turned in the air and flew backwards, directly saying that they were in close pursuit and reluctant to be shot down by other drones.

Then I saw that the drone suddenly stood upright in the air, and then a theme adjusted with the angle of the plane's engine, and the entire plane instantly completed the turn, carrying the black shadow into the distance, and disappeared after a while.

Garrett was dumbfounded, this is because it was a drone, otherwise with your steering method, the pilot would probably die in it on the spot.

At the same time, in the command center of S.H.I.E.L.D., a large screen representing the drone's point of light went out at the same time, and a black-clad operative reported that "the drone is all destroyed, John Garrett is still alive, and may have finished docking with Coulson." ”

Then another member of the team suggested, "I suggest that more people should be sent over and just take the plane down." ”

"No, I couldn't take control of John Garrett's plane, so I decided to destroy it, and now he's on Coulson's plane, so I'll wait for them to land. ”

The commander of this attack made a calm decision behind everyone's back, and everyone looked back and felt only a dazzling light, this person was none other than Senior Internal Affairs Agent, Sitwell.

"Do you have any opinions, Agent?" Sitwell lifted his glasses and saw a man next to him looking down and silent, with a look of dissatisfaction.

"I'm sorry, sir. The man said bitterly, "I just feel uncomfortable with the person I used to call my friend last time." ”

"Oh, I see. Sitwell laughed, pulled out his pistol without seeing any movement, and shot the guy in the head. He looked at the rest of the stunned crowd and said, "Once that encrypted message is sent, everything will be different. We all know that, don't we?"

The other agents looked at each other before speaking in a deep, gritty voice, "Heyer, Hydra, step out of the shadows and welcome the light." ”

"That's right. Step out of the shadows and welcome the light, but Garrett does not deserve it. Sitwell wiped his glasses, put them back on, and said, "We swear allegiance, and today is the time to verify that loyalty, and if you hesitate, you will die." Garrett has betrayed his oath and betrayed the cause of the Order, he is not worthy to stand under the light, he is a stain on us, a shame, a shame that must be washed away. Heyer, Hydra!"
