In the dead silence, the elevator finally rose to the floor where Rogers was going, the elevator door opened, and before he could take a step, Nick Fury, dressed in black, walked in, making Rogers stunned, didn't he say that he was waiting for him in the office? Why hasn't he arrived yet, Nick Fury is going downstairs.

Nick Fury walked into the elevator and shouted directly: "Executive floor! ”

The elevator automatically descended, and the two stood side by side, staring straight ahead.

"I just met Coulson." Rogers' tone was rather flat, as if chattering.

"The numbers have been counted, three hundred and thirty-five soldiers and seventy-two agents have died, the Department of the Interior is sorting through their belongings, and death notices will be sent to their families by the FBI, CIA and the military." Nick Fury even answered the question.

But both of them understand the meaning of both sides, so many agents and guards have died at one time, they must give an explanation and implement responsibility, after all, S.H.I.E.L.D. is not a family business owned by anyone, the iron-clad director of S.H.I.E.L.D., there is a Security Council above Nick Fury's head, they can remove the director.

Rogers was indifferent and said for a moment, "He's a good man." ”

"I know he's a very qualified agent."

As he spoke, the elevator had reached the executive level, and Nick Fury stepped out, leaving only one sentence: "Captain, many times, you can't just look at the surface, people's hearts are very complex, and there are very few people who can make people really believe." ”

"Do you have anyone who really believes?"

"Maybe!"

The elevator doors closed, leaving Rogers wondering what Nick Fury's words meant, and why did he suddenly say this, is it hinting at Coulson's thing? Does Nick Fury find Coulson untrustworthy?

Just as he was thinking about it, Brock Rumlow's voice sounded in the headset: "Captain, the task has been ordered, I am already in place, and I can go at any time." ”

"I'll go over here." Rogers put away his mixed thoughts and focused on this rescue mission, although he stayed in S.H.I.E.L.D., he rarely went out in the field, and was completely used as an ace, but this mission, not only him, but even Black Widow joined in, which was obviously unusual.

Think about it, how can ordinary pirates hijack the ship of S.H.I.E.L.D., and demand a ransom with a big grin, they simply don't know how to write the word 'death'.

However, as a soldier, even if he has doubts in his heart, he will not give up on the mission, everything will have to wait until the mission returns, even if it is a rather unclear mission, for the sake of peace, he will compromise and will do it.

In a spacious house on the executive floor, Coulson sat upright in a chair, with several cameras in front of him, facing his eyes, and several wires between his fingers, connecting the instruments in the outside room, such a scene, he was no stranger.

In other words, all S.H.I.E.L.D. agents are no strangers, and they must undergo polygraph and evaluation when they join the company, and after they join, they must go through it from time to time to ensure that they have not betrayed S.H.I.E.L.D. Not only him, but also the surviving agents of Stonehenge.

A group of experts were asking strange questions one by one, to calibrate the instrument, and when a large number of questions were asked, it was officially started, and a group of people were asking about the events before and after Stonehenge, and every order he had given, what was in their minds at that time, and why such an order was given.

Nick Fury stood in the room on the second floor, looking through the one-way glass, looking at the tests and inquiries below, Alexander Pierce walked over, stopped beside Nick Fury, looked at Coulson below, and said: "It's not easy for the Security Council to deal with it, S.H.I.E.L.D. hasn't killed or injured so many people for a long time, plus damaged equipment, vehicles, and planes, vehicles, personnel, materials and equipment used to urgently support Stonehenge and rebuild the defensive line...

At least that's the number. ”

Alexander Pierce stretched out his hand, the unit is one billion dollars, it is definitely a major accident that cannot be more serious, this is different from the last time the Aerospace Helicarrier attacked, it was agreed by the Security Council, how much is lost, this time the loss is paid by S.H.I.E.L.D. itself, no matter what, the person in charge cannot escape accountability.

Nick Fury didn't even look at Alexander Pearce, looked at Coulson below, and said, "How long has he been serving S.H.I.E.L.D.?" ”

"Hmm... It's been almost twenty-five years. Alexander Pierce said uncertainly: "He has followed you since he joined S.H.I.E.L.D., until now." ”

"Yes, until now, the best years have been dedicated to S.H.I.E.L.D."

Alexander Pierce sighed a little helplessly, and said: "Nick, this is not a playhouse, I have read Garrett's report, it should be an accident, after all, space is too mysterious for human beings, and it is reasonable to have such an accident." ”

Nick Fury finally turned around and said to Alexander Pearce, "I just think he deserves to have a life of his own, I heard he has a girlfriend who plays the cello, maybe I should prepare a wedding present." ”

Alexander Pierce frowned and asked, "Are you sure?" He's your best man. ”

"He's almost retirement age, so be it."

"Well," Alexander Pierce sighed, "I'll go and convince the Council that an old agent who is about to retire should also be decent, and deal with it like that." ”

The two of them decided to use early retirement as punishment for this accident, it's not as simple as packing up your things and leaving, don't want to take anything related to S.H.I.E.L.D., including... Memory, these twenty or thirty years of secret service career, along with this name, faded with the wind, and there was no such person as Phil Coulson except for the secret archives of S.H.I.E.L.D.

After more than three hours of questioning, the team typed out a report of more than 100 pages and walked out, and the soldier standing by with a gun stepped forward and helped Coulson unload the instrument cable from his body, and took him outside, apparently someone wanted to see him, otherwise he would be transferred directly to the detention cell, and he would not be released until everything was over.

Coulson walked out of the door, and as soon as he opened the door, a gust of cold wind blew in his face, which made Coulson, who had been in the warm room for several hours, shudder, only to see the silver moon like a hook, in the middle of the night, it was extraordinarily bright, and then Coulson noticed Nick Fury standing next to a wide open window in the corridor, with a night buff bonus.

"I'm sorry, sir!"

Nick Fury turned his head, smiled at the rather guilty Coulson, and said, "Coulson, you've been with S.H.I.E.L.D. for twenty-five years. ”

"Hmm!" Coulson nodded.

"It's been long enough."

Such an emotion made Coulson feel a bad feeling in his heart, he had been an agent for so long, he had never seen anything, and said in a trembling voice: "Sir? ”

Nick Fury nodded silently, causing Coulson's heart to sink to the bottom, his lips trembling, his throat seemed to be blocked, and he couldn't say a word.

Nick Fury patted Coulson on the shoulder vigorously and said, "Audrey has been waiting for you for so long, it's time to give someone an explanation, I have already arranged it, just as your wedding gift, I wish you happiness." ”

Coulson tried hard to control his facial muscles, wanting to laugh, but what he squeezed out was more ugly than crying, and he controlled his emotions for a long time before he reluctantly said, "Thank you, sir." ”

"Hmm!" Nick Fury patted Coulson on the shoulder again and walked forward, disappearing around the corner of the hallway, leaving Coulson alone in the moonlight, staring blankly at the familiar Trident headquarters.

Is that the end there? After that, it will no longer be himself, but another stranger.

Coulson did not have any joy in his heart to get away without any punishment, only full of reluctance and sadness, even if he could live with Audrey in the future, he could not give him a little happiness.

For more than twenty years, he had long been accustomed to the identity of S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Phil Coulson, who could not be told to outsiders, but soon all of this would be a thing of the past, no, all gone, and not even a trace of relevant memories would be left to him. To turn an agent into an ordinary person who could no longer be ordinary, he had given such orders many times before, and today it was finally his turn?

Coulson's hands trembled, and he took out a black crust from his suit, which was printed with a lifelike winged eagle, and his fingers were full of strokes of the gravure that would never be related from now on, and he said in a low voice: "Goodbye, Coulson!" ”
