Chapter 6: Agents in Action (Part II)

"Mei, there's a video here, which was just recorded some time ago, you can take a look first." As he spoke, Coulson handed Melinda a cell phone.

Taking the phone, Melinda glanced at Coulson suspiciously, and then opened the only video saved on the phone.

The video shows a tall man in a black cloak and a young white man holding a middle-aged woman hostage with a knife.

I saw that the white young man shouted a few words to the black cloaked man with a hideous face, but the black cloaked man suddenly crossed a distance of seven or eight meters in an instant and came to the white young man holding a switchblade, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and the white young man immediately collapsed to the ground.

"This ......" Seeing this, Melinda couldn't help but look at Coulson with wide eyes.

Coulson smiled and nodded for her to continue.

I saw that after the man in the black cloak stunned the white young man in the video, he groped for a while, took out something, and then stood in place for a while, and then disappeared without a trace as a cloud of smoke with a "bang".

After clearly seeing the things in the black cloak man's hand, Melinda couldn't help but laugh and said, "I didn't expect ......"

"I didn't expect this cloaked man to be such a neighborhood vigilante!" Coulson said with a smile.

Coulson had seen the video countless times before Melinda, so he knew what the Cloaked Man had pulled out of the white youth.

That's right! That's a crumpled mess of change.

Seeing this, Melinda couldn't help but glance at Coulson, quite speechless.

"Maybe the street hero was really short of money, so ......," Coulson explained to Melinda with a shrug of his shoulders.

"Okay." Melinda pursed her lips helplessly, and then asked, "No wonder this matter is set to level five clearance, this cloaked man seems to be a mutant, but it's not like it at all." ”

As a field agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., Melinda has experienced many strange events over the years that ordinary people cannot understand, and mutants are a good example.

Although the abilities of mutants are different, and the weak ones are likely to be cleaned up by an ordinary policeman, those who are powerful and cannot control their abilities will undoubtedly be a great threat to ordinary people.

Melinda, who has experienced a tragedy caused by the mutants' inability to control them, knows that in a densely populated city, without the ability to use heavy weapons with great lethality, these mutants can basically be called a humanoid bomb.

However, the ability shown by the man in the black cloak in the video is not the same as the mutant in Melinda's impression, which makes her a little puzzled, so she asks Coulson.

"I don't know, we won't know until we get in touch with him." Glancing at Melinda, Coulson replied.

"And what is Chief Nick Fury's attitude towards this cloaked man, Patch Maivis?" Melinda asked again.

Yes, after looking at Patch's file and this video, Melinda can already confirm that the Sunshine Boy is the Cloak Man who has been active in Thirteenth Block for more than four years.

From this video, it can be seen that this cloaked man has at least two superpowers, the superpower of teleportation from a long distance and the ability to stun people...... Well, I'll call it that! ”

Frowning and thinking about it, Coulson continued: "And it's clear that this cloaked man has a good grasp of his own abilities. At least I checked the files, and in the past four years, the street gangsters and gang members who have encountered the Cloaked Man have only been knocked unconscious and thrown at the door of the police station, and there have been almost zero incidents of maiming or even death. ”

"Not necessarily, maybe he has extremely dangerous abilities that we don't know about?" Melinda asked rhetorically.

"That's why Director Fury gave us both this mission, let's first find out how dangerous Patch Maivis is, and then submit the operation report when we go back and make the next decision." Coulson explained.

"Okay, so now ......"

"Official action!" With a gun in his waist, Coulson opened the car door and jumped in.

After tidying up the equipment on her body, immediately after, Melinda also jumped out of the off-road vehicle sideways.

…………

"The thermal detector showed no signs of life activity in the room." When Coulson and Melinda arrived at the door of Patch's dilapidated hut, Melinda taped a high-end-looking instrument to the wall, fiddled with it a few times, and then spoke out.

"Maybe the big boy named Patch was out before we came over." Coulson responded.

"I checked the nearby video just now, and I didn't find any record of him going out."

Shrugging her shoulders, Melinda continued, "Well, I'll admit that his ability to teleport is really handy. ”

"I raise my hands in agreement." Coulson nodded and sighed: "If I had this ability, I wouldn't have to take such a long plane when I was out on the field." ”

"And you can get to the scene of the accident as soon as possible." Melinda added with a cold face.

Apparently, both of them relaxed a lot after the thermal detector detected that Patch was not home.

"Shall we break down the door or ...... now?" after a few small talks, Melinda asked Coulson.

After all, their mission was to make contact with Patch Maivis, but now that he was not at home, Melinda didn't know whether to break into Patch's house to gather information or just go home.

"Let's go in and have a look! Maybe there will be some windfalls! Coulson replied.

"Okay then." Melinda replied and said, "Coulson, get out of the way." ”

As she spoke, Melinda took a few steps back and assumed a running pose, as if she was going to kick the door open with her strength.

"May, no need......" Coulson unscrewed the doorknob and smiled at Melinda, "It seems that this man in the cape, Mr. Patch Maivis, should never have thought anyone would break into his house." ”

With a look of frustration, Coulson continued, "Because his door wasn't locked at all. ”

As he spoke, Coulson twisted the doorknob several more times.

"Uh......" Seeing this scene, Melinda was instantly embarrassed, walked up to Coulson in a few steps, and smiled very unnaturally: "Professional habits, professional habits." ”

Coulson looked intent, then turned his head and unscrewed the doorknob to push the door open.

A gust of wind blew through the room, and both Coulson and Melinda shivered.

But then after seeing the scene inside the house, the two of them froze for a while.
