Chapter 241: Undercurrent

"Recently, around the world, there have been many mutants who have disappeared for no reason, and we suspect that someone is secretly attacking mutants and using them for experiments." Melinda's face was very bad, and she really couldn't understand why this kind of thing kept happening one after another.

"We talked to Professor Charles." Hill took over the topic and said, "But Professor Charles couldn't find the source of the matter using the brainwave amplification instrument, the strength of the sandman is not weak, but the shortcomings are also obvious, and it is easy to be taken advantage of, so we want you to tell us where he is now." ”

Is it just so, Ling Xiao always felt that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s intentions would not be so simple, and after a change of thought, Ling Xiao said in a low voice: "The sandman doesn't seem to be a mutant, his ability comes from a scientific experiment, this kind of thing should have nothing to do with him." But what you really should do for this kind of thing is to try to find those who are behind it. People like these who dare to attack mutants and use them for experiments must have some interest group behind them to fund them, not to mention anything else, it shouldn't be a problem to find funds to and from your S.H.I.E.L.D., right? ”

"It's not that simple." Hill shook his head and said, "For things like this, their funds are usually transferred from the country to places like the Cayman Islands, and then the funds are dispersed into millions of shares, and after countless channels are cleaned, they will flow into the country. This kind of thing your friend Chang Kuan should be most familiar with, he knows how difficult and time-consuming it is to find out these things. ”

Looking at Ciel's solemn face, Ling Xiao pondered in his heart for a moment before saying, "To be honest, I don't know where the sandman is, and I don't know what his current situation is, I haven't seen him since the New Mexico party separated, and even if you don't say it, I don't know he's still alive." But if I were to say where he might be, I think it would be in the Colorado desert, but whether it would be in Las Vegas, or Phoenix, or maybe Palm Springs, but I don't know exactly where. ”

"Oh, is that so?" After listening to what Ling Xiao said, Hill narrowed his eyes slightly.

The Colorado Desert, which stretches from southeastern California to the southeastern Colorado River Delta in northern Mexico, is 264 kilometers long and is so vast that it is easy to find traces of sandmen in it.

"Okay, that's it, thank you Mr. Ling, we will come over again to trouble you if there is something." Hill suddenly stood up and said goodbye.

"Okay." Ling Xiao hurriedly stood up and asked in a daze, "What about skin care, do you still do it?" ”

"No, let's wait until next time." Hill smiled politely, to be honest, she really doesn't have that leisure now, and when she came to Ling's Pharmacy today, she didn't achieve any goals, which will inevitably make people feel a little frustrated.

"Alright then, I'll send you two." Ling Xiao shook his head with some pity, and after speaking, he led Melinda and Ciel downstairs.

Mina Tangde has been helping Gan Jing, but she is also always paying attention to the movements above. To be honest, she sometimes really regrets it, if it wasn't for the fear of Ling Xiao that she didn't install a camera in the pharmacy earlier, then I'm afraid that all the movements in the pharmacy are now under her control.

But this thought, she just thought about it, how could Ling Xiao be so easy to deal with, one was accidentally discovered, but it was even more troublesome.

Seeing Melinda and Hill walking from above and below, Mina frowned slightly, and glanced at the wall clock on the wall, it has not been an hour since the two of them went upstairs, how can it be over, Ling Xiao's skin care has always taken a lot of time, could it be that they didn't do skin care at all.

When the two of them came closer, looking at the two people who had not changed from the previous upstairs, Mina had already understood that during this time, the three of them must have talked a lot of things upstairs, and they didn't do any skin care at all.

But the question was what exactly they were talking about, and Mina greeted with a smile, "What, Ling, these two guests have finished their care?" ”

"Hmm!" Ling Xiao replied vaguely and sent the two of them out of the door, but when Hill was leaving, he turned his head and stared at Mina Tangde, which made people feel that there was something else.

"May, do you think what he said is true or false?" Sitting in the car, Hill asked in a low voice as he lit the fire.

"To be honest, I don't think he knows where the sandman is now, but I'm sure he must have the sandman's contact information."

Melinda's face was very serious, and she said in a deep voice: "But since the sandman is in the desert, it is equivalent to swimming in the sea, and it is not ordinarily difficult to find him, and in the desert, his strength is not necessarily half a point, even if the destroyer is not in his hands, he has suffered a lot of losses." I think this may be the reason why he dared to quietly return to New York despite Ling Xiao's warning. ”

mentioned earlier that the sandman appeared in New York, Melinda and Hill both saw the change in Ling Xiao's expression, and it was obvious that the sandman returned to New York without consulting Ling Xiao, which also meant that the relationship between the two was not as close as they thought before.

Hill stepped on the accelerator, and the red Ferrari sports car flew out all at once, and the wind blew on Hill's face, blowing all the hair on her face, and at this time, she asked again: "So what about the Heavenly Soldier Armor, is it really lost?" ”

"I'm afraid it's not a small possibility." Melinda frowned, and said with embarrassment: "But it is also possible that he is playing tricks, after all, there are many people staring at the Heavenly Soldier Battle Armor now, if it is really stolen, these eyes will be diverted from Ling Xiao's body." ”

"It's not impossible." Hill took a deep breath and said, "No matter what, send someone to keep an eye on the black market, and if there is any movement, immediately send someone to investigate, and there is also the matter of those two patrol officers and the detective." ”

Speaking of this, Hill paused slightly, gritted his fine teeth, and then continued: "Mei, you personally investigate this matter, if it is really like what Ling Xiao said, someone designed the whole thing from beginning to end, I want to see who it is, which organization has such great ability?" ”

"Good!" Melinda pondered for a moment and nodded seriously, she had a feeling that this matter was probably just the tip of the iceberg.

"By the way, there's the one named Mina Donde." Hill squinted his eyes and said: "That person also wants to check her roots again, she only appeared a few days before the theft of Lingxiao Villa, but within a few days, it happened, if you want to say that there is no ghost in this, Mei, do you believe it?" ”

Melinda shook her head slightly, Hill had a lot of sense, Mina's appearance was too coincidental, and it gave Melinda a very familiar feeling, like, like she had gone undercover to spy on intelligence before her previous operations.

"Mei, why do you think these capable people are so selfish?" Hill couldn't help but shake her head slightly, the words that Ling Xiao said were still echoing in her mind - once he betrayed his master, colluded with wicked people, or taught the classics of this sect, I would promise to personally hunt him down to the ends of the earth, and anyone who secretly learned the exercises in my sect would not want to survive.

Thinking of this, Hill couldn't help but feel cold, holding the steering wheel and turning a big corner, Hill whispered: "I now understand why Natasha would resist Ling Xiao joining the Avengers so much, she is not wrong at all!" ”

Melinda sat there silently, in the process of communicating with Ling Xiao today, Melinda and Hill did not mention the matter of letting Ling Xiao join the Avengers, the reason why they didn't mention it was because within S.H.I.E.L.D., more people tend not to include Ling Xiao in the Avengers, and now there is another Hill.

Earlier, there were two factions of opinion within S.H.I.E.L.D., led by Black Widow Natasha Romanoff, who believed that Ling Xiao was too arrogant and withdrawn to join S.H.I.E.L.D.; And the people led by Tony Stark believe that the Avengers need a doctor who can keep up with their pace, after all, the Avengers are not as invulnerable as Tony Stark, and they can support in time if something happens.

At the beginning, these two factions of opinion contended with each other and were deadlocked, and even Nick Fury couldn't make a decision for a while, until Natasha said a word later, which changed the whole situation, and more people were inclined not to include Ling Xiao in the Avengers, and even Stark was silent.
