Chapter 791: New Mission
Evenson realizes that he has made a mistake again, not that his hidden identity has been discovered, and he has been suspected of saying the wrong thing. It's not that serious, it's mainly a life style problem.
The reason is that the case is almost over here, and as for when it will be closed, it will depend on how long it will take Simmons and Fezzy to put together the Berserker's cane with all-purpose glue.
Supposedly, this has nothing to do with Evenson, but at this juncture he didn't leave, mainly because it was getting late, Coulson said that since it was all this time, then simply our group would not leave, just find a local hotel for us to eat and stay for one night, and then talk about the return trip.
When Evenson saw this situation, he couldn't leave! First of all, he wasn't doing things for people before he came, and this ritual should have been done for seven days in a row, but it can be seen that Coulson and they made such a mess, and it was over in half a day, and there was a lot less money here. And I'm here to give you a task, this is an idea and a lot of effort, this can't say that your mission is over the celebration banquet, I don't participate in the quiet back, I'm not so high-spirited, okay!
Therefore, he will never be absent from this matter of staying in a luxury suite and eating a delicious dinner. And Coulson is also very generous, after all, it is the public to spend money, so they have chartered a five-star hotel in the Norwegian capital, well, a five-star express hotel!
Anyway, that's what it means, but this meal is good, but I can't stand someone in a bad mood. This is mainly about Melinda, because she touched the Berserker's cane earlier, the black memory that she had been sealed in the depths awakened, and Bahrain, she had to kill a little girl who suddenly awakened the ability under the last resort.
The loss of a colleague and the killing of a child left her with deep psychological trauma, doubts about her own abilities, boredom of field tasks, and a great change of heart, all because of that damn mission. This incident not only caused a lot of trouble to her work, but also made a mess of her life, which is why she divorced her husband.
It was also because of this psychological trauma that she was persuaded by Evenson to accept reform, she felt that if she had extraordinary strength, then she could avoid tragedy, she could protect her colleagues, and she would never be in a dilemma.
After receiving the transformation, her psychological state gradually began to stabilize, and she began to accept frequent field assignments, and she thought that she had escaped that nightmare. But it wasn't until today, the magic on the berserker's cane made her recall that memory clearly, and she realized that what she had done was what she had done, and no matter how much time had passed, no matter how much she had changed, she could not pretend that it had nothing to do with her.
So Melinda was in a bad mood right now, and she left everyone celebrating behind and drank there alone.
And at this time, Evenson also happened to be alone, mainly because there were so many plates on his table that the others had no face to sit with him. But Melinda didn't care about this now, and sat directly across from him.
Evenson grabbed the plate that was almost shocked under the table, picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth, "Mood... Belch... I'm in a bad mood..."
"Hmm," Melinda snorted, her eyes blurred.
"Want to talk to me about that?" said Evenson, saying that half a bottle of dry red would make you drunk like this, so don't drink at your level.
"Hmm. Melinda nodded.
"I'm sorry, I'm not a psychiatrist. Evenson shook his head, "I said at the beginning, I can only teach you what to do in the future, and I can't do anything about what has happened and how to heal the psychological wounds in your heart." ”
Evenson is also self-aware, it's not that warlocks can't give people psychological guidance, but the result is that you are just unhappy in your heart, but he can give you counseling to retaliate against the society" If you want to play truth or dare with me, say something you hate and complain to each other, then I have nothing to say. ”
"Hmph, that's to be expected. Melinda snorted coldly and began to complain, "You've never experienced those things, and you don't understand how painful it is to make that choice." ”
"Hmph...," Evenson chuckled, elegantly bringing the stack of plates on the table to the floor, leveling out the food on the table, and looking up at Melinda, "What can I do?"
"What do I say, according to the world, I am a heartless person, don't you ever wonder why I think that a young American in his 20s did not have a girlfriend before Claire. ”
"Because I'm poor, but to be honest, I can afford to have a girlfriend who isn't too much. ”
"Yes. Melinda nodded, Brooklyn is not a Hell's Kitchen, it is a notoriously wealthy area, and having a property in that kind of place, and it is not too small a commercial property, this is a lot of family business. And although the broken store has been on the verge of bankruptcy, it has never stepped into the abyss of bankruptcy, so there is no problem with living at home with this income.
Besides, this kind of idle life is much easier than those ordinary office workers who are burdened with loans, and with these, it is not too difficult to marry a wife.
"It's mainly a matter of feeling, not the feeling of being electrocuted at first sight. Evenson was a little bit more honest, "but because I have a hard time empathizing with other people, and in short, I don't care about them." ”
"Don't care," Melinda asked, confused.
"That's right. Evenson nodded dryly, "So for me, killing a little girl when necessary is not a problem at all." I've killed a lot of people, but no matter what time I don't have any fluctuations in my heart, I don't have pleasure or sadness. ”
"It may seem to you that those people deserve to die, but in reality it makes no difference to me whether men or women, old people, children, innocent or innocent or not. When I think it's necessary, when I kill them, I won't have the slightest psychological burden, and I won't be touched in the slightest. ”
"So... Ahem..."Evenson snatched the bottle from Melinda's hand and took a sip, but his face turned red all of a sudden, I'll go, dry red with the water of life, what kind of flavor do you have? No wonder you're drunk like this...... So... Cough... If you want to hear about my life experience... Ahem... I can't help much. ”
"That's... You're having a hard time, right? In Melinda's view, Evenson is a person with personality flaws who has lived in loneliness all the time.
"I don't feel it," Evenson drank a large glass of ice water, flushing the hot sensation down his throat, "I don't care, what's so hard." ”
"Perhaps," Melinda smiled meaningfully as she took the bottle back, "but you're not useless..."
At first, Evenson failed to grasp the meaning of the sentence. But when the celebration banquet is over, go back to their respective rooms to rest. Evenson swiped open the door to his room with his keycard, but Melinda happened to pass behind him, and her room was opposite Evenson.
She didn't say anything, just looked back at Evenson, raised her hand and pulled the collar of her white shirt, shook the red wine bottle she had been holding in her hand, and then turned and walked into her room, but the door was only closed by a crack.
Well, that's obvious enough. Evenson struggled with his thoughts for a fraction of a second, and then resolutely walked into his room... He took out the Do Not Disturb sign and hung it on the door, and then, seeing that there was no one around, he walked into Melinda's room.
It must have been a mistake in the way of life, but Evenson later found out that this was not the case, because he realized that he was playing a role in the night... It should be about the same as a ***.
There is no emotional communication at all, Melinda just suddenly has psychological pressure, and she needs to vent in some special way, which happens to be more pleasing to the eye and Evinson, so it's... Uh-huh.
Hum... Treat me like that kind of thing, Evenson was very unhappy with this kind of result after he realized it, and vented his stress on me, hum! I said that you still have any other pressure, I can help you vent together. I've always worked tirelessly for my friends!
That's how it went, but by the next day, Evenson found himself unable to go!
Of course, this is not what Melinda pulled her away the next morning, saying that he was so ruthless and wanted to make him responsible, in fact, after a night of tossing, Melinda is now lying in bed and sleeping on the porcelain, and has not woken up for a while.
Instead, there is a task coming. This mission was not requested by Coulson's team, but was directly assigned by S.H.I.E.L.D.
The next day Evenson got up and got dressed and poured a cup of coffee, where he was reminiscent... Ah no, it's reflecting on last night's mistake, but his phone suddenly rang, picked it up and looked at the phone number, it was actually a call from S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, "I'm Evenson Richter, excuse me?"
Evenson picked up the phone suspiciously, but he didn't expect that it was not Nick Fury who called this time, "I'm Maria Hill, I need you to receive a mission here, don't refuse, this special customer has designated you to do this task, and the memo left by the director is also written like this." ”
"I remember that S.H.I.E.L.D. is not a personal security company, so why do we still have customers?"
"Special customer No. 666. Hill said on the other end of the phone: "I don't know much, but it should be the code name of an important person, not some employer." And this person says that you owe him a favor, and according to the director's memorandum, you have a task related to this person, and you are the first person to carry it out. ”
"Oh, I see. Evenson instantly understood who this No. 666 special customer was, after all, he had asked him for a lot of false certificates, and he did owe him a favor, and this person's favor was not so good to owe "What, what?"
"In the United States, item recovery work, you and the Coulson team on this mission. ”
"What?" Evenson was taken aback, "you asked me to go on a mission with them?"
"That's right. Hill said as a matter of course, "The rules of S.H.I.E.L.D. for group collaboration, it just so happens that you have cooperated with this group many times, and you have a tacit understanding with each other. ”
Evenson really wanted to say that S.H.I.E.L.D. was left with this one group?
"How much do you know about that customer?"
"Special clients live in Los Angeles and open a fairly well-known bar, which looks quite charming, and the others... Not anymore. ”
"Hmm. It seems that Nick Fury didn't tell Hill the real identity of that guy, "Then this mission should not have been arranged by Director Fury." ”
"That's right. Hill admitted, "The director is a little busy now, and I am temporarily in charge of the scheduling, is there anything wrong with my arrangement?"
"Ahh And my personal opinion as an advisor does not approve of Coulson and I working together on this task. ”
"..."Hill on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, as if after deep thought, "The director has been very busy this time, he hasn't seen anyone for a long time, and the staff of S.H.I.E.L.D. has been a little tight lately, and there are no suitable agents to send over there. ”
"And Coulson, they're just your cover, they're only taking on investigative missions about people with special abilities, and if your means are more flexible, they won't be exposed to the core mission at all. Or if you want to do it alone, you will have to find a way to get from Norway to the mainland of the United States by yourself, and you will have to pay for your own transportation. ”
"Okay, no problem, work in a group, I follow orders. "Evenson's attitude changed 180 degrees almost instantly.
After hanging up the phone, Evenson sat down on the edge of the bed and pushed Melinda, who was sleeping soundly. The other party opened his blurred eyes, and after seeing Evenson's face clearly, he directly raised his foot and kicked it.
"Wow puppet—" Fortunately, Evenson grabbed Melinda's kick and blew on the foot of the foot, "It's not a good habit to get up. ”
"Heh..."Melinda pulled her feet back and sat up from the bed with the quilt in her arms, who am I, where am I? What happened? Damn! Melinda slapped her head, she must have drunk too much last night!
"What happened last night—" Melinda brushed her fluffy hair, a little embarrassed, trying to find an excuse for what happened last night.
"Let's not talk about last night, we have a mission. Evenson stood up and clasped his hands and said, "The S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters is specially assigned, and the Coulson team is used as a cover, and I am specially assigned to carry out the mission. ”
"In that case," Melinda immediately returned to her normal state as soon as she heard about the mission, "Then according to the rules, you shouldn't tell me." ”
Hierarchical management system, since Coulson's team is used as a cover, Melinda, as a member of the team, should not know what the core mission is.
"The mission is so special, it has something to do with that guy. I hope you can help me stabilize Coulson and make sure he is completely unaware of this mission, and this is for his good. ”
Melinda nodded, "Who is involved in this mission?" Since I have a special job to do, I must have a certain understanding of this task.
Evenson sighed and said, "Mephisto." ”
