Chapter 130: Urban Legends
Gordon: "You've been in touch with him since you retired, but what about after you retire?"
Lei Xiaogu: "Yes, but he stopped contacting me after the persuasion failed, and he didn't leave me any contact information...... At that time, I was already determined to fade out of the cause of reorganizing Aegis, and put all my thoughts on rebuilding the father-daughter relationship with Xiaoya......"
Gordon: "That's right...... So it's been almost two years since you've lost contact with Hank McCoy?"
Lei Xiaogu: "Yes." β
Gordon: "Two years...... God knows if he is still in the "alley", and the task you have given to Mr. Minister may not be as simple as passing on a word, but may also have to search for clues on the spot...... "- I want to stop talking
Lei Xiaogu: "I know what you're trying to say, you want me to promise to tell Charles Pacardo some personal information about the Beast, right? β
Gordon: "Yes, that's the only way to make it easier for him to find someone." β
Lei Xiaogu: "Alas...... It would be nice if you could go to New York. - Reluctantly
Gordon: "But I'm not stuck here right now, can't I move...... Otherwise, you contact Bane or Black Widow ......" - pretending to excuse himself
Lei Xiaogu: "No, both of them are professional intelligence, and they are likely to detect the true identity of the [Beast], and the fewer people involved in this matter, the better." -- categorically vetoed
Gordon: "Yes...... Okay, I'll go to Barton and talk ......" - get up
Lei Xiaogu: "Looking for that thug? You don't have a direct way to get in touch with Charles Paccar?" - strange
Gordon: "No, I had a direct way to contact Mr. Minister, but didn't I change my new phone in a hurry......?
Lei Xiaogu: "No need to explain, I understand, you have been sitting in the office for a long time...... Go ahead. "-Helpless
Three minutes later, Barton was called to Room One by Gordon
Lei Xiaogu: "I'm sorry, I disturbed your rest before the time came......"
Barton: "It's okay, I'm still in good spirits [due to jet lag], unlike Wesley. "--Tell the truth
Lei Xiaogu: "Are you still in good spirits?" (look at your watch) It's half past one in the morning (local time) ......" - Fox doubted
Barton: "Ah, yes, I usually go to bed late, I'm used to it. -- Rapid response
Gordon: "You night owl, staying up late is not a good habit, and it will cause a lot of damage to the body......" - preaching, covering up for Barton
Barton: "Hahahaha...... Yes, yes, yes......" - giggled
Lei Xiaogu: "......" - a cold bystander
Gordon: "I'm going to change it in the future...... Old Ray. βurging
Lei Xiaogu: "(Looks at the two of them)...... I came to you for something. -- Opening
Patton: "If you have something to do, you don't dare to ask for it." "-- Courtesy
Lei Xiaogu: "I want you to call your boss immediately and ask him to help me bring a message to an old friend who lives in New York City, saying that I have something important to discuss with him, and ask him to contact me immediately......"
Barton: "(Record)...... If you have something important to discuss, please contact you quickly...... OK, what's your old friend's name, where does you live in New York City, do you have any reliable contacts?"
Gordon: "Idiot, don't you think about it before you ask a question, if he has reliable contact information, can we still ask Mr. Minister for help?"
Barton: "Don't have a contact information if you live in New York City?"
Lei Xiaogu: "It can't be regarded as a fixed residence, two years ago, his scope of activity has been locked in the ...... of Manhattan Island"
Barton: "Manhattan? That's my (hometown) ......."
PS: The official administrative district of [Hell's Kitchen] is called [Clinton], which is on the west coast of Manhattan Island
Lei Xiaogu: "What is it?"
Barton: "It's where I go a lot on business trips. -- Re-export
Lei Xiaogu: "Oh...... I read the news that the Midtown Manhattan business district has been doing very well in recent years, attracting a lot of continuous investment and attention from real estate developers......"
Barton: "No, those guys have caused a huge increase in land prices and rents in Manhattan, and the residents who originally lived in Manhattan can't bear ......it."
Gordon: "You fool, don't you know how to say a few words...... "- worried, secretly watching Lei Xiaogu's reaction
Lei Xiaogu: "yes, that's great. - Smile
Gordon (belly): "Whew...... Fortunately, Lei Xiaogu thinks that your status as a New York gangster is in his favor......" - rest assured
Barton: "Great? What's so good about skyrocketing land prices in Manhattan? You're flipping real estate?" -- before he realized he was exposed
Lei Xiaogu: "No, I mean that the skyrocketing land prices in Manhattan are good for your boss to find my old friend......"
Barton: "What do you mean by that? Why do I get more confused the more I listen?"
Lei Xiaogu: "It's very understandable, in fact, you guessed a little right before, my old friend can barely be regarded as a homeless man now." β
Barton: "Now?"
Lei Xiaogu: "He's not a good mix, he's quite poor, he's always rented the cheapest kind of house, and the reason why he doesn't have reliable contact now is because he can't afford to pay the rising rent, but he doesn't want to leave Manhattan......"
Barton: "So you wandered around Manhattan Island, didn't you...... Alas...... What's his name, and where does he spend his time on Manhattan Island?"
Lei Xiaogu: "His name is [Dark Beast] (Dark_Beast), male, 1.80 meters tall (5 feet 11 inches), covered in gray hair, and often active in the underground of Manhattan Island......"
Barton: "Underground in Manhattan, covered in gray hair, this old friend of yours is an urban legend ??? New York."
Lei Xiaogu: "Urban legends of New York?"
Gordon: "You mean "The Brave Lion" (Beauty_and_the_Beast), right? I've seen it, and it's a good shot. β
PS: The American drama "Brave Lion" has a total of three seasons and 56 episodes, and China has only introduced the first season, which tells a beautiful and touching love story between a lion and a beautiful woman, and a remake is being broadcast in the near future. A sentence from the plot: The love story of [Vincent], the sphinoid who lives underground in New York, and [Catherine], a female lawyer in the world.
Lei Xiaogu: "Isn't that a TV series......?" Is there a prototype for the story?"
Barton: "No, no, no, that TV show is made up, and the underground monster that lives in New York in urban legends is not the brute force of the lion-faced man in the TV series, but ......" - a cold war
Gordon: "What's the matter, hurry up, don't want our appetite." β
Barton: "A big rat who knows how to do Oriental ninjutsu and its four eight disciples!"
Me (voiceover): "The big rat who knows how to do Oriental ninjutsu, the four kings and eight disciples, why does this sound so familiar......"
