Chapter 208: Joan of Arc's Unraveling
All agents are equipped with special cryobullets.
The same is true for Coulson.
Although he was a high-ranking agent and managed the entire Chaldean intelligence service, he was still a leader.
When an agent is afraid to go to a dangerous place, he has already lost his identity as an agent.
"Bump away." Coulson gestured.
The two tall and sturdy agents beside him kicked open the door directly, and instantly raised their guns to shoot, and the people inside who were still confused were shot and fell to the ground without the slightest ability to resist
Cryo guns are highly effective tranquilizer bullets, and when shot, they are even more effective than real bullets.
After just a few seconds, Coulson looked at the people lying on the ground, and he could basically confirm that they were the militants who had raided Black Bolt.
But......
"Who is taking the lead?" Coulson suddenly felt that something was not right.
"Sir." A voice came from the communication channel, "Two partners have lost contact at four o'clock. ”
"Catch up." Coulson rushed straight out of the apartment.
There is no doubt that the leader had already discovered them, and then abandoned his subordinates and fled alone.
At this moment, at one of the exits of the apartment, a man who looked to be in his forties, with a slight haircut, walked out in a small step, looked back, and blended into the crowd of people on the street.
He was the one who planned the raid, Hiram.
A former sixth-level agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., experienced death, was revived, and his memory was erased.
"Coulson."
Spit out these words from the depths of Hiram's throat.
The pain reminded him of everything.
The person who presided over the clarification and falsification of his memories was none other than Coulson.
However, before he could find Coulson, he had to catch the Inhumans, even if only one, and they would most likely know the truth that had made him look like crazy.
Suddenly, the crowd was in an uproar.
Hiram in the crowd looked up alertly, and he saw something that was stirring up the crowd.
It was a woman standing at the top of a telephone pole, a dove perched on her raised finger.
Eyes as bright as the moon, staring at themselves.
Run!
There was only one thought in Hiram's mind.
The other party is definitely coming for himself.
However, he had only just turned around when a lazy voice appeared in his ears.
"Get on your knees."
** Lost control, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his knees hit the ground hard, Hiram couldn't help but let out a scream, and his kneecaps were directly shattered by himself.
Semiramis walked with graceful steps, and the crowd around him moved out of the way with two parts of horror, two parts of reverence, and six parts of fascination.
The empress didn't even look at Hiram who was kneeling on the ground, her eyes were on Coulson, who came with the two of them.
"Waste." Relentless scolding.
Coulson looked at Hiram who was kneeling on the ground, opened his mouth, and only bowed his head in front of the empress.
But at this time, compared with the empress's reprimand, what shocked him more was Halleym.
This agent who was rescued by him and then personally ordered the erasure of his memories was naturally known to Coulson.
The empress seemed to come down specifically to scold this voice, but after spitting out this one word, her figure slowly dissipated.
If it weren't for someone who was still on her knees and moaning, it was as if she had never been.
"Take him away."
Coulson looked at this former at the same time with a complicated look in his eyes.
Rescuing them, then subjecting them to great pain, and erasing their memories has always been Coulson's deepest psychological pain.
Less than two hours after the Chaldean delegates arrived in Los Angeles, the culprits were apprehended, and the incident was reported by the media.
The video of Semiramis mysteriously appearing in the slum has also been released by the powerful media.
These few performances have made everyone find a definite name to describe her.
- Queen!
Noble temperament, arrogant character, unquestionable domineering.
It's all going crazy for people.
Advocating the strong is a human trait, every man has a side of shaking M, coupled with the most crucial, unreasonable beauty, so that Semiramis has set off a fan frenzy all over the world.
And the perpetrator of all this, the empress, flew directly back to the virtual reality company.
Her purpose this time was originally just to show her face, but now it has been achieved.
And also caught a failure of Coulson's mission.
The rest of the matter, she didn't even need to say anything, Coulson directly admitted his mistake in the conference room.
"It was my dereliction of duty to almost let the prisoner escape."
“......”
Shen He didn't say anything like that it didn't matter this time.
Because there are quite a few other agents around.
Although the prisoner was a former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, he was not a person with extraordinary abilities after all, and even so, when he knew the other party's hiding location in advance, he almost let him escape.
This is a dereliction of duty.
It's just that Shen He didn't think of any punishment for a while.
"Anyway, the people still got it." Shen He glanced at the document in his hand, "Coulson, you wrote on it that the symbol that Hiram engraved on his body is a common trait of the agents who participated in the GH-325 injection in the first place?" ”
"That's right." Coulson nodded, "We weren't able to find out what the symbols meant, but we had some guesses. ”
This meeting was the first time that Shen He had called the senior agents in the intelligence department of the current virtual reality company for a meeting.
So the rest of the agents listened attentively.
They are not like Coulson, they don't have so many opportunities to meet Shen He, this is a good time to show themselves.
"I know what this symbol represents." Shen He knocked lightly on the table, "I've seen the future related to this. ”
Everyone's spirits were lifted.
It wasn't until not long ago that they understood that the Chaldea had known about the future of the alien invasion early on, and many of the previous inexplicable preparations had shown their results at the moment of the arrival of the aliens.
Being able to know what is going to happen in the future at least means that they have finally entered the core of Chaldean power.
Everyone has ambitions, even agents who are determined to protect the world.
"These patterns are not three-dimensional, but three-dimensional." Shen He glanced at the agents in front of him and said slowly, "It represents a city that exists in the underground of the earth, and its history may be older than that of Asgard, it is the traces left by the first aliens who came to the earth, Coulson, I ask you to find this city in the shortest possible time." ”
Shen He didn't expect that the plot in the TV series "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." would appear so soon.
But that extraterrestrial city in the underground appeared just right.
It can divert its gaze and turn the situation in the direction that Shen He wants to see, step by step.
"Any other information?" Coulson asked.
"You can go find those 'test subjects'." Shen He looked at Coulson, "I'll only give you three days, you have to find the exact location, if you find it, you will atone for your sins, if you don't find it...... Then let those who have the power come and find it. ”
The meaning of this sentence is already obvious.
If Coulson can't do that, then he will have to pick someone else to take his place.
"I'll find out." Coulson said.
"That's for the best." Shen He sighed in his heart.
He initially gave everything to Coulson, partly because he didn't care about it, and partly because he trusted Coulson's character.
But to the point where virtual reality companies have gotten to this point, competence is already something more important.
It's just that Shen He's heart is not very comfortable with making such a decision, because it already means that he really puts Coulson in the position of a subordinate, and the relationship will change in the future, and it will no longer be the same as at the beginning.
In the following time, Shen He asked about some details, some things that he had never asked before.
For example, the structure of the intelligence service today, the main personnel, the main work, and so on.
These agents all felt a change.
But with the exception of Coulson, they were all happy to see the change.
The normal meeting lasted from seven to ten o'clock at night, and Shen He felt like he had forcibly stuffed a bunch of things into his mind that he was not interested in at all.
After everyone left, he sat alone in his chair, digesting what he had just learned.
Also think about the next steps.
It's not a salty fish at all!
Coldly, a pair of soft hands gently pressed on his shoulders, making Shen He stand up reflexively.
"What, this reaction." Semiramis clasped his hands around his chest, "It's rare to try what the Servant does." ”
“......”
Shen He was speechless, he was taken aback just now, okay?
"You've been eavesdropping?"
"Nope." The Empress replied with confidence, "Lone came when you ordered them to find the underground city. ”
“...... This is almost from the beginning to the end. ”
Shen He couldn't help but complain, and then looked at the empress's indifferent expression, feeling that he had lost if he was serious.
Shaking his head helplessly, he packed his things and turned around to go back.
"Are you in such a hurry to go back?"
Semiramis's figure flashed, and suddenly appeared beside Shen He, obviously a charming girl, but like a good buddy, she raised her arm and put it on Shen He's shoulder, and winked at him.
"However, it is not incomprehensible to Lonely, after all, the Holy Maiden who has been longed for by many people is lying on your bed in vain, and the taste of this is very wonderful."
“...... Belch. ”
Shen He opened his mouth, with an expression that failed to turn around.
It's so good, why did you start driving.
However, this cannot be admitted.
"My feelings for Joan of Arc are not as superficial as you say." Shen He's face was a little annoyed, "Joan of Arc has too many qualities in her body that can attract me. ”
"Quality?" A playful smile appeared on Semiramis's face, "A true king will never have true love." ”
"......" Shen He calmed down at this time, and he looked at Semiramis very seriously, "But I'm not the king." ”
"You will be, from the moment you decide to establish the Chaldees, you have been."
After Semiramis left this last sentence, his figure disappeared silently again.
But her words had already entered Shen He's heart.
Over the course of this time, he did feel that his way of doing things was starting to be different.
As an ordinary person in the past, Shen He will undoubtedly enjoy wealth and power.
"Sure enough, I still don't think this guy Semiramis has any good intentions......"
Shen He stood at the door of his room and muttered to himself, then took a deep breath, calmed down, and opened the door.
As always, Joan of Arc stood behind the door, with a gentle look in her eyes.
"Welcome back." She walked over and took off her coat for Shen He, "It's hard work." ”
"With your words, it's not hard at all." Shen He smiled stupidly.
He suddenly felt that the doubts and thoughts in his mind just now were a little ridiculous, to be able to have such a daughter-in-law who he couldn't think of in the past, and he didn't want to be an emperor.
"What's wrong today, hesitating outside the door for so long?" Joan of Arc wrinkled her cute nose and sniffed, "There's the smell of Semiramis on my body." ”
"......" Shen He's movements froze suddenly.
"Master." The smile on Joan of Arc's face did not change in the slightest, but there was a faint danger in his eyes, "Don't think about lying, if the Lord is lying, just pray to the Lord." ”
“...... Does the Lord even control this? ”
Although the situation was very unpleasant, Shen He couldn't help but complain.
Revelation probably doesn't have the ability to discern lies.
"Really."
Joan of Arc sighed in a low voice, turned around and hung Shen He's coat on the hanger, where the serious organizer had folds.
"I don't have to know, it's just that Semiramis you seem to be trying to steer the Master in a very bad direction, Master....... It's better to pay attention. ”
"......" Shen He was also silent for a while.
He walked over suddenly, wrapped his arms around Joan of Arc from behind, and whispered in her ear:
"So, what direction do you want me to take?"
Shen He was a little confused.
Since the Battle of New York, he seems to have stood on top of the world all of a sudden, and his every move will be watched by countless people and change the lives of countless people.
Correspondingly, it is gradually restless, to wealth, to power, to the future.
"As long as it's not too Spartan, I'll accept it." Joan of Arc chuckled, turned around in Shen He's arms, and put his head on his body, "Originally, the duty of the servant was to help the growth of the master, so the master only needs to unswervingly go in his own direction." ”
“...... Bear two faces under one hood. ”
Shen He pulled out a hand and gently rubbed Joan of Arc's cheek.
"When we first met, you heard that I wanted to change the world's disaster, and little stars were about to pop up in your eyes, and you obviously had no resistance to the savior."
"Where?"
Joan of Arc shook her ponytail reluctantly, gave a rare squeamish, raised her head and stared at Shen He with her beautiful lilac pupils.
"And then, has this wish of the Imperial Master changed now?"
"Not really." Shen He frowned, "Although this is not my hometown, it is also a place very similar to my hometown, and it has established a foundation here, so it can't be easily destroyed." ”
"Isn't that enough?" Joan of Arc chuckled and reached out to put her hand on Shen He's palm on her cheek, "I once gave up almost everything for my goals, including some things that shouldn't have been given up, such as kindness, so even if I was burned by the fire in the end, I didn't feel that it was the result I deserved...... And, even if I do it again, I'll still do it. ”
Although Joan of Arc is a saint, although she is extremely gentle and kind.
However, she will only sacrifice herself for the things she cares about.
So, if it's an enemy standing in her path.
Probably not many people would think of her as a kind saint.
Shen He understood what Joan of Arc meant, and in the process of achieving his goal, he would definitely have to give up and change some things.
