048 Phil
Reinforcements finally arrived at the drive-in restaurant, but the number of people who came was somewhat unexpected.
Rorschach looked at the seven or eight police cars and a black Chevrolet full-size SUV outside, and frowned, could it be that the FBI is also here?
At this time, there were no more customers in the drive-thru restaurant, and only the owner and waitress stayed behind the bar honestly.
The door was pushed open, and into it was a middle-aged white man in a suit and leather shoes, of medium build, with a high hairline, and there was some fear that he would die at any moment.
He strode over to Rorschach with a smile on his face.
Watching the middle-aged white man get closer and closer, Rorschach's heart flashed with surprise, because he knew this middle-aged white man, Phil Coulson, S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.
Could it be that he traveled to the Marvel world?
Phil walked up to Rorschach, stretched out his hand and said:
"Hello, Sergeant, I'm Agent Phil Coulson, from the Homeland Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency."
"Hello, Agent Coulson."
Rorschach suppressed the doubts in his heart, took a deep breath, and shook his hand.
Jessica looked at Phil from the side and asked:
"It's a tongue-in-cheek name, why haven't I heard of this department? You belong to the Ministry of Defense? FBI? Or the CIA? ”
Phil smiled at Jessica and replied:
"We're an independent department, and we're a little bit more special."
Rorschach thought expressionlessly, S.H.I.E.L.D....... Of course it's special.
Phil turned his head and said:
"Sheriff, can we talk alone?"
"No problem."
Rorschach and Phil made their way to the corner of the restaurant.
"Sheriff, can you describe how you met that guy?"
Phil put his hands on the table, staring at him earnestly.
"That's ......"
Rorschach summed up the words and recounted the events to him.
After listening to this, Phil nodded and said:
"Sheriff, do you remember anything about the Fairfrye family?"
"Yes."
Rorschach nodded.
Phil suddenly asked:
So, what do you see under the "crooked neck tree"? ”
Rorschach narrowed her eyes and looked at him.
Phil smiled and said:
"Don't worry about the sheriff, we're not holding you accountable for not reporting this to the Sam Country government, anyone who sees that kind of guy will have some abnormal reactions, and I think it's reasonable for you to keep it in your heart."
Rorschach thought for a moment and asked:
"What are they?"
"They?"
Phil nodded, "Sheriff, you're asking a good question, have you ever seen this?" ”
With that, he pulled out a photo from his bosom.
Rorschach took the photograph of an ornament made of what resembled the bones of a creature, and he remembered that Jessica had shown him that it had been found in Spalding's burned home, and that it had been taken by the FBI, and that it now appeared that the FBI were actually S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.
Rorschach returned the photo to Phil and asked:
"This was found in the" rotten wood "? ”
"Yes."
Phil took the picture and placed it on the table, "We later re-dug the underground mine, but Doctor Satan wasn't there anymore, there was only a dead body in it. ”
"...... like this"
Rorschach sighed, wondering if the victims had died because of him. After thinking about it, he asked, "What is in the photo related to them?" ”
"It has a lot to do with it."
Phil tapped on the photo on the table, "They all became "inhuman" because they came into contact with this thing. ”
"This thing?"
Rorschach frowned.
Phil explains:
We call it the "Bone Talisman", which is made from the remains of a creature in the deep sea, which can make people crazy, magnify the desires hidden in their hearts countless times, and even mutate people into "non-human" beings. ”
"You mean to say that Doctor Satan and the bat monster were all made like that because of the Bone Talisman? ”
"Yes."
Phil bowed slightly, "That bat monster is called "Dead Skin". ”
Rorschach asked, somewhat puzzled:
"Didn't you get rid of it back then?"
"There were various reasons back then......
Phil spread his hands helplessly and sighed, "You know ......"
"I understand."
"But ......"
The corners of Phil's mouth curled, "This time I've decided to capture it, or destroy it." ”
"Good."
Rorschach nodded, "Then I'll leave the rest to you." ”
"No, no, no!"
Phil hurriedly waved his hand, "We still need your help, Sheriff." ”
"Me?"
Rorschach was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'm just a policeman, not an agent, so I should let the "superhero" come to deal with this kind of monster, right?" ”
Do you believe there are "superheroes" in this world? ”
Phil squinted at Rorschach.
"I don't know."
Rorschach hurriedly shook his head, "I haven't seen it, so I'm not sure, let's see it." ”
"Hehe......"
Phil smiled, "Actually, our department is short of manpower right now, and only me and a few field agents are here, so I still hope to get your assistance from the sergeant who is familiar with the local situation." ”
Rorschach looked at Phil, thought about it, or decided to refuse, the appearance of S.H.I.E.L.D. made him understand that this world is likely to be the Marvel Universe, if that is really the case, his strength is simply not worth mentioning, it's not that he doesn't want to capture the "dead skin", it's just that he doesn't want to be with S.H.I.E.L.D.
"I'm sorry, I'm just an ordinary police officer."
Rorschach shook his head, "I'm only good at catching criminals, not monsters. ”
Phil looked at him and said earnestly:
"Sheriff, do you want to stand by and watch the "dead skin" continue to commit murder? ”
Rorschach took a deep breath and asked puzzledly:
"You should be able to mobilize the National Guard? Or Sam's Nation Army, right? ”
"No......"
Phil shook his head, "I can't apply for other support for this operation. ”
"Why?"
"Because it was an unauthorized operation."
"Unauthorized action?"
"Yes."
Phil didn't continue the topic, but held up the photo, "Sheriff, aren't you curious about who made the 'Bone Amulet'?" ”
"I don't want to know."
The corners of Rorschach's mouth curled, "The more you know, the more dangerous it is." ”
"Haha......"
Phil laughed, "Sheriff, you're funny, well, all I can say is that these "bone charms" didn't appear on this land for no reason, someone brought them here. ”
Rorschach pointed to the photo and asked:
"Isn't that person afraid of being turned into a monster by the "Bone Talisman"? ”
"That person is a believer......"
Phil said in a deep voice, "They think it's a god-given power, and they can even hear the whispers of the gods by it, and according to the limited information description, they call that god 'Enzos'......"
Hearing the name "Enzos", Rorschach took a deep breath and his heart churned up and down.
