Chapter 52: The First Sight of the Braised Egg
"It's a good idea that you actually put something near the police station!"
Seeing that Mindy actually pointed to a vending machine and said that something was there, Li Congxin couldn't help but think of a plot in "Team America 2" in his mind, but after looking at the surrounding environment, he couldn't help but give Mindy a thumbs up and praise.
In front of the vending machine, Li Congxin looked through the glass window and looked at the shelves inside one by one, expecting to find something similar to a USB drive, but found nothing.
In other words, this USB drive should not also be cut off by others, right?
Thinking like this, Li Congxin looked towards Mindy...... What about Minty?
"Hell, why is the USB drive gone!"
Following the prestige, he saw that Mindy was actually hiding behind this vending machine, lying on the ground looking for something.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Congxin couldn't help but ask, "That, didn't you put things in the vending machine?" ”
Mindy raised her head and said dissatisfiedly: "If anyone could stuff something into the vending machine, then this thing would have been stolen by the homeless man a long time ago!" ”
Shaking his head, Li Congxin began to look around vigilantly. Irrelevant people don't waste so much effort to get a USB drive that they don't know what it does, so the thing can only be taken by someone in the hand or someone else.
If it's someone from the Hand Club, it's definitely not going to be found, and if it's someone else, the other party might be nearby!
Sure enough, just as Li Congxin turned around and looked around, he saw a black man wearing a black trench coat with a big bald head walking towards them. This outfit is matched with his skin tone, if it appears at night, it is completely a natural protective color, as long as you don't open your mouth, you can perfectly blend with the night!
After carefully glancing at the other party's dress and appearance, Li Congxin's mouth subconsciously popped out a Chinese word: "Marinated eggs?" ”
Received Impression from Nick Fury +2333!
Sure enough, it was him!
"Giving someone a nickname when you meet for the first time is not the style that your state of etiquette should have." With a black face, Lu Dan reminded dissatisfiedly: "I can understand your Chinese language." ”
Li Congxin laughed dryly, and then naturally changed the topic directly: "You took that USB drive?" ”
The boiled egg didn't mean to deny it at all, and even took out two USB disks directly from his coat pocket and handed them to Li Congxin, and said under his puzzled gaze: "One of them is the clues left by Officer Marcus before his death, but I don't think he found a lot of things, and the other is the friendly help I provided to you, which records a lot of secret information about the Hand Association." ”
Li Congxin was stunned when he heard this: "Why do you want to help us?" ”
Although it is a good thing to be able to get first-hand internal information, Li Congxin does not want to be used as a gun by others because of this.
If S.H.I.E.L.D. itself already wanted to attack the opponent alliance, but wanted to use their hands to complete this dangerous mission, Li Congxin would inevitably have to bargain with the other party.
Hearing this, the boiled egg pouted his lips with disdain and said, "Don't be too sentimental, I'm not helping you." Frank Custer was my closest comrade-in-arms, and I was here to help him. ”
After a slight pause, he added: "It's just that because of my current work, I can't help him personally, and providing you with this information is already the limit of what I can do." ”
After speaking, the boiled egg turned around, walked into a black car parked on the side of the road without looking back, and then drove away.
Retracting his gaze, Li Congxin suddenly found that Mindy was staring at a palm poster on the wall near the vending machine. followed the other party's gaze, but saw that above was a photo of Marcus wearing a police uniform, and below was his glorious deeds as a police officer over the years.
patted Mindy on the shoulder, and Li Congxin suddenly found that next to Marcus's poster, there was another poster of a police officer posted side by side. The photo on that poster was not Mindy's father, Damon, but a white-haired old man with a kind smile.
Received impression points from the Origin Will of the Universe, the new system function "Free Play" is unlocked!
Free Play:
The host can choose to play any piece of music in your memory, not only to enjoy it yourself, but also to share the charm of music with others. Of course, playing music other than the activated BGM doesn't have any auxiliary effect bonuses.
The Origin Will of the Universe!
It's the Origin Will of the Universe again!
When Li Congxin's heart moved, there was a sudden flower in front of him. But I saw that the poster with the mysterious white-haired old man had disappeared, and on the wall next to the vending machine, only Marcus was left alone.
Do you have to be so weird every time?
However, although the function of awakening this time is useless, faintly, Li Congxin has already guessed who the so-called cosmic origin will is.
………………
On December 23, it snowed heavily in New York City.
People wore uniform black suits and came to Marcus' funeral.
The funeral was attended mainly by Marcus's colleagues at the police station, and non-police officers like Li Congxin and Mindy accounted for only a very small part of the entire funeral, which seemed a bit unusual.
Standing in the far corner of the crowd, silently sending off the elder who had given them countless help, Li Congxin walked silently all the way home.
Hearing the subtle sound of footsteps on the snow, it was as if there was no other sound in the whole world, and the hustle and bustle of the city was still there, but it was automatically filtered out in Li Congxin's ears.
At this moment, he only felt that the world around him was so quiet and lonely.
Mindy followed closely behind Li Congxin very sensibly, without saying a word, just silently speeding up his pace to accommodate the big brother Clark in front of him, who was used to walking like the wind.
Along the way, the two were silent. It's like two unrelated passers-by, but they just happen to be on the same road.
After turning a fork in the road again, Mindy suddenly stopped, breaking the original tacit understanding between the two.
After a pause, Li asked without looking back, "Are you tired of walking?" ”
Although she knew that Li Congxin couldn't see it, Mindy still shook her head: "I'm thinking, where should I go next?" ”
Li Congxin: "Yes, you need a guardian." ”
Mingdi's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she immediately proposed, "How about you come and be my guardian?" ”
Without waiting for Li Congxin to answer, he immediately added: "I have three million in my hand now, which can be handed over to you for safekeeping as my room and board expenses, and I can take care of my own life, so I won't trouble you." ”
I have to say that superheroes, if done well, are also a more lucrative profession.
It's like Mindy's father and daughter, who specialize in dealing with drug criminals, punishing evil and promoting good while robbing the rich and helping the poor.
rob the rich of the drug offenders and help their own poverty.
There are really few "perfect heroes" who will have headaches for living expenses like little spiders.
Three million is already a huge amount of money for the country of 98 years. However, after Li Congxin heard this number, he just smiled lightly: "The three million, you better keep it and buy candy for yourself, my monthly manuscript fee is more than 3 times this number." ”
When Mindy heard this, her originally excited little face suddenly became sluggish: "Can't you?" ”
But Li Congxin suddenly turned around at this time, walked to her side, reached out and rubbed her little head, and said with a smile: "What are you thinking?" ”
"Let's go, let's go home!"
