Power outages, large-scale power outages.

After the production of the "Hex Core", the entire Trident Building and parts of the surrounding area were completely de-energized.

However, although all the electrically driven instruments could not be used, the backup power generation device in the S.H.I.E.L.D. building was working as usual, and the circuit was not only fine, but ushered in a brief peak of power consumption, and as for the amount of electricity produced, it was obviously absorbed by the "Hex core".

Without any physical connection, the current hidden in the wall wiring is extracted and collected around the "Hex Core", which absorbs all of it.

This process is called "forced charging".

Nick Fury learned about the situation at the first moment of the power outage, and was worried about the impact on the research lab and the specific situation in the interrogation room, but neither of them could be investigated at the moment.

The research room was automatically blocked by the protection system at the first time of the power outage, and the people outside could not enter, the people inside could not get out, and even the data signal could not be transmitted, so there was no way to understand the specific situation.

As for the interrogation room?

It has turned into an azure ocean.

Countless currents gathered and converged here from all directions, and even took on the image of light and shadow, and the slightest close proximity made the ends of the hair tingle and the hairs stood on end, let alone probe what was going on.

Finally, when the charge was over, the regretful Nick Fury and the worried Melinda May rushed in for the first time, and then the poor Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. was sent flying out by a beam.

Hill went over to pick up the director and looked warily into the interrogation room, and the other agents also took out their weapons to be on guard.

Under the gaze of everyone, Evan and Coulson walked in from inside unscathed, followed by Melinda May, who was about to speak.

Unlike Evan, who was smiling as if he had gotten his favorite toy, Coulson was like a mourner, and he didn't speak after he came out, hiding to the side by himself, trying to reduce his sense of existence, for fear of being discovered by someone.

However, Evan didn't forget about him, pulling out a button-like recording device to introduce himself to the new members of the "Let Nick Die Squad".

The button was pressed, and Coulson's voice came out: "Yes, yes, Nick is very evil, can you stop what you are doing and take your life seriously......!

"Let Nick die!"

It was Ivan's voice, and it was clear that Director Nick's provocative behavior made the boy very angry.

"Okay, I promised to join your 'Let Nick Die Squad', you stop that ball quickly, I can't save you with such a high-intensity current cluster burst. ”

"Actually, I don't think the goal of our team can be so superficial, so I originally planned to call it the 'World Peace Preservation Squad', but since you strongly ask for it, then 'let Nick die in the squad', maybe once Nick dies, the world will be really peaceful!"

Coulson: "......"

"Okay, it doesn't matter what it's called," Coulson's voice continued to sound inside the button, and Nick Fury's face turned green as he half-crouched next to him, "You tell me how to stop this ball first." ”

"When it's done, it stops. ”

Ivan's voice didn't change in the slightest, and he was still smiling, as if he didn't know what fear was.

"You're still laughing," Coulson scolded angrily, and said in an anxious tone: "Hide under the table, don't come out for a while, no matter what happens, I guess, everyone else is staying outside now, and when the ball stops charging, they can come in and rescue us." ”

"What about you?"

"Don't worry about me, these bundles of electricity may not riot. ”

"You're good, Coulson. ”

"Hahaha, it's rare to hear a word of praise from your mouth, it's not easy. Coulson chuckled: "This is just an agent's consciousness and persistence, not to mention, I'm thirty-two years old, I can't let one of your children stay outside for me and monitor the subsequent changes in the current set." ”

"You're not forty yet, I thought you were about the same size as Nick's bald head!"

Instead of being incoherent or crying like in the bitter drama, Evan focused on Coulson's age.

"Uh......" Coulson paused for a moment before explaining, somewhat awkwardly, "I did talk to the director...... Don't run out, I mean Nick, drink- phew, that's going to work, right?"

Even if it was played through the buttons, the agents could still feel Coulson's helplessness and tiredness at that time, but in the same way, the buttons also clearly recorded his spitting voice at that time: "I did make peace...... Phew, almost big, phew...... I mean, he's, okay, okay, okay, okay, he's forty-seven, no, thirty-seven, not even over forty. ”

"Hehe......"

Several agents who knew Coulson well looked at each other, glanced at the director who was about to move closer to Dr. Banner, and secretly agreed to go together after work to pick a pleasant burial place for Coulson.

"It's an old agent," Evan praised with explanation, "It's so good to disguise, and those who don't know think you're almost fifty." ”

Coulson didn't speak, but his hand unconsciously touched his cheek.

"Alas, Coulson!"

"What's wrong?"

Phil Coulson is really tired, although he has long looked down on life and death, but this sense of coercion that does not know when it will turn into charcoal makes him have to tense his nerves all the time, on the other hand, he has to be careful to chat with the little ancestor next to him, otherwise the boy's temper may come up, maybe he will break free from his own barrier and rush to the side of the silver ball.

When the time comes, there will be three long and two short, and it will be difficult for me to explain to Melinda and Nick, and I will not be able to pass the hurdle in my heart.

"You've done a great job!"

Evan patted Coulson on the shoulder with a deliberate feeling, making the agent feel like laughing: it was really a child, and if he scolded Nick a few times as a "bad guy", he would perform well.

If only S.H.I.E.L.D.'s promotion and evaluation mechanism were so easy, and if you could scold a terrorist leader or a mutant leader for three days and three nights without the same thing, wouldn't a level 10 agent be at your fingertips at that time?

Alas, it's a pity that there is nowhere to display his talents.

Coulson thought with a big brain, which could be regarded as self-amusement before he died.

"In view of your outstanding performance, I have decided to promote you to the vice-captain of the squad!"

didn't care that there were only two people in his team, and the happy Captain Evan made the decision to "make a marquis" on his own.

"Thank you, Captain!"

Coulson thanked him seriously and accompanied Evan to tease the boring son.

"Take the oath!"

"Huh?"

"Xuan Xuan-" Coulson said angrily, "You have to stay under the table, I'll take an oath!"

There was another brief silence, and Coulson's voice rang out: "How to announce?"

"You didn't take an oath to join S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

Evan's voice was more surprised than him, as if he had encountered something incredible: "We have to take an oath to choose a head of our orphanage, and you don't even take an oath when you become an agent?"

"We ......"

Hearing the boy say this, Coulson also felt that S.H.I.E.L.D. was a little irregular, and his tone was three points lower: "Then you can teach me." ”

The agents outside listened to the sound coming from the buttons, and they all secretly made eye contact.

Originally, no one said that I didn't think it yet, but now that I think about it, I joined it without the oath ceremony, and I didn't have a sense of mission and glory at all, and it was like working in a private company.

Thinking about it, I peeked at my own director, guessing whether he would learn from other people's advanced management experience, and give each agent an oath ceremony in the future.

Not to mention, Nick really has this idea, but not for the agent, but for the "superpower response team" that still exists in his conception, of course, the official name must not be so LOW, maybe it can be called ...... "Avengers"?

For such a lofty job as saving the earth, it should have been solemn to take an oath before joining the organization, otherwise what is the difference between it and the grass platform team?

Secretly keeping this thought in mind, Nick listened intently to the "following" inside the button, intending to learn the writing style of the oath.

"Well, I'll teach you!"

There was a kind of helplessness and sigh in the boy's voice, which made Coulson full of swear words and didn't know how to say it.

"First of all, raise your fist to your ear and swear that you are volunteering to join the 'Let Nick Die' team!"

Coulson: "......"

"Okay, okay, I'm volunteering, I'm volunteering!"

Hearing his colleague's helpless lamentation, Hill chuckled, and the corners of Nick's mouth went up, but with his ugly face that had not yet disappeared, it looked extremely hideous, and Coulson, who was hiding in the corner, looked at the director's expression, and lowered his hope of survival by several percentage points.

"Secondly, you must vow to dedicate your life to the struggle for the great goals of the organization!"

"Evan ......," Coulson interrupted.

"Call the captain!"

The boy replied with great authority.

"Okay, captain, you have to tell me what the great goal of our organization is, otherwise how can I struggle?"

"Let Nick die!"

Evan glanced at his chosen vice-captain with a "Are you stupid" expression, and criticized: "The answer to the mystery is on the puzzle, is there an organization that is more honest than us?"

"No ..... no ......"

"Then take the oath!"

"I swear to dedicate ......"

Coulson's perfunctory attitude was extremely obvious, and the boy didn't care, but enjoyed it.

"Isn't it a bit short to end like this?"

Evan asks Coulson, possibly talking to himself.

Coulson kept silent, letting his captain play, without the slightest intention of resisting, and obviously resigned himself to his fate.

"So be it," came a crisp clapping of hands from the buttons, apparently the boy had a new idea, "I'll give you three minutes to play freely." ”

"Play what?"

"You just scold Nick, you can't do it the same. ”

"But also be careful, you can't be too rude in your words, you have to pay attention to the impact, after all, we are a legitimate organization, and I am not yet an adult. ”

Coulson: "......"

"Alright, Ivan, stop making trouble. ”

The new changes to "Hexcore" made Coulson frightened and lost the interest in chatting.

"I'll tell you about the phenomena I've seen outside, and you'll keep them in mind so that you can improve them later. ”

Pressing back to Evan, who was looking out, Coulson covered most of the opening at the bottom of the table, and said lightly: "In the future, we must ensure safety before conducting item research, because ...... There may not be the next Uncle Coulson standing in your way. ”

Hearing the words coming from inside the button, the agents present were silent, they had not experienced the scene just now, but this did not prevent them from looking at Coulson with admiration for the one who made that choice, "Agent's Enlightenment" is easy to say, but it is difficult to do.

At least most of the agents present did not dare to pat their chests and promise that they would make the same choice as Coulson until they encountered that situation.

The atmosphere was extremely harmonious, and even Director Nick's face softened a lot, until ...... Evan's voice came from inside the button: "How do you know that my research and development is not safe this time?"

"You...... It'......"

"The accumulation of current is just a phenomenon manifested by charging, and the effect of light and shadow is far greater than the actual effect, do you see that we are so close, except for a little numbness in the skin, is there any discomfort?"

"Have faith in your captain, Coulson, don't just look at it like this, even if you hold the 'Hex Core' that is being charged in your hand, it won't cause any harm to the human body. ”

Saying this, Ivan let out a mischievous chuckle, "I'm not going to joke with my life!"

"Then you just cried and said that you were out of control......"

"I'm scared of you!"

"I ......" Coulson's anger was full of anger and he didn't know who to vent to, and he glanced at the smug boy, he suddenly smiled: "Evan, the adult world is sometimes not as trustworthy as you think. ”

It is clear that Agent Coulson, who has reacted, has planned to break away from ...... Oh no, he's never been part of the "Let Nick Die Squad" at all, yes, he's never even heard of it.

"Coulson," the boy was still calm in response to the agent's counterattack, and only when he was most proud did he take off a button on his shirt with a "I can't help you kid" expression: "The world of children is sometimes not as defenseless as you think." ”

"What is this?"

Coulson reached out to grab it, but was dodged by Ivan .

"Recording equipment, besides, it's useless for you to grab it, the data inside is connected to my cloud storage space in real time. ”
