Stopping at a distance, the hustle and bustle of shops is almost immediately apparent in the building, which is full of dilapidated red brick walls and dark yellow paint covered in colorful abstract graffiti.

Silver tongue grocery store.

These big characters hang brightly in the night, although Yi Huan does not hold up the huge billboard, but the embellishment of neon lights is still indispensable, and the flickering silver-white lights bring a touch of mystery to this modern anime merchandise store.

Unlike the old residential and commercial buildings that have been built along with New York City for an unknown number of years, after buying this place, Lucy called in the construction team to quickly renovate it, and the construction team even showed a speed faster than magic, driven by money.

The magic of money.

As a normal anime merchandise store, the overall decoration of the store is naturally normal, because it was Lucy who was in charge of this at the time, although her aesthetic was a little strange, but it was just that she always paid attention to details in some unnecessary places.

In other words, it doesn't look at the atmosphere regardless of the occasion.

But other than that, Lucy, who is more intelligent than Jarvis, may not be creative, but her ability to imitate and integrate is absolutely first-class, and she can definitely reach the master level when she designs a template based on the content in the database.

This store is the result of hers.

The store itself is a peripheral store, and Lucy naturally doesn't do anything strange in the direction, so the appearance of the silver-tongue grocery store can be said to be very good, neither as Japanese-style and homely as in Akihabara, nor in the direction of science fiction like ordinary film and television peripheral stores.

It's more like a combination of a comic shop, a bookstore, and merchandise stores, and at a glance you can see that this is a modern building for young people, neither cumbersome nor too concise.

"That's it."

In such a conspicuous building, two senior agents with excellent shooting scores naturally would not turn a blind eye, and after getting out of the car, Coulson habitually glanced around, and stayed on a high-rise building a hundred meters away for a second. That's where their agents watched the location, then turned their heads back to find the target of the trip.

Pulling off his suit and tie, Coulson walked like this store, and May next to him naturally followed.

It's daytime, it's morning, it's only half an hour since Nick Fury complained in the office, and because it's not really Hell's Kitchen, it's just a neighborhood near the edge of Hell's Kitchen, so it's a bit lively, and the residential buildings are coming and going from time to time, and the cars are coming and going, although it can't catch up with the busiest commercial district in New York, but it's not bad.

The red vintage car is parked about a hundred meters away from the store, a relatively safe location.

At first, May followed Coulson briskly, but after a dozen or so steps, she looked around and realized what was wrong.

"Where's the support?" She stopped Coulson and asked.

"What support." Coulson asked rhetorically with a classic smile on his face, of course, he knew what Mei meant, and that was his answer.

"Don't tell me it's just the two of us."

May didn't bother to talk to Coulson in a scripted manner, her face pulled down, and she went straight to the heart of the matter, because she was already a serious temperament, and she could almost freeze the ice cubes at this time.

Whether or not they approach each other with good intentions, support is essential, because you are not sure if the other person has good intentions towards you, especially when dealing with a supernatural person who is more threatening than the average person and cannot be explained by ordinary science.

Support is a must.

But Coulson knew May well, and he was not surprised by May's change in attitude, and still replied with that smile that never seemed to change, "It's just the two of us." ”

After a moment's thought, he added, "As far as I know. ”

The agents are all highly screened and talented people themselves, most of whom are very perceptive, and when they hear Coulson's last sentence, Mei immediately thinks of a point that she has seen in the previous information.

A very important point, but she ignored it, or rather, didn't think about it that much.

"The other party can modify people's memories. Do you think he can see our minds directly, mind reading? ”

And now, as soon as Coulson reminded her, May immediately realized that she had neglected.

"I'm not sure."

"But I trust Sir."

Coulson's answer was as personal as ever, and May, as her old partner, could naturally understand the meaning.

Apparently, Nick Fury was aware of this as well.

But he didn't tell Coulson, didn't mention that Coulson might have the ability to read minds, and to be prepared, in other words, he may not even have informed Coulson of the plan in its entirety, and it is likely that he only chose to say it partially.

Nick Fury told Coulson that it was a good faith contact, but what S.H.I.E.L.D.'s true attitude towards the target was, how much support there was around, and where they were hiding, were all things he didn't say.

It's a pity that Coulson is not a stupid person, he can become an eighth-level agent, the henchman of the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Coulson's wisdom is obviously not so cheap.

Even without Nick Fury's reminder, Coulson realized the problem in a very short time, but he didn't have any better way to avoid it, because it was a person's heart, a person's mind, which belonged to the subconscious realm, if it was really possible to read minds. Then even the most highly trained agents will have a hard time restraining themselves from revealing anything.

So he can only go with the flow, praying that the other party does not have the ability to read minds, and can only modify the memory, or that the other party believes that the director has a good contact with what he said. They really came here for good faith contact, not to deceive and gain trust.

Of course, I also hope that the director will not make any small moves behind his back. Dig a big hole for yourself, but according to Coulson's consistent understanding of Director Fury, it is very unlikely that he will not dare to make small moves.

Damn it! This idea will not be seen by the other party.

The horror of mind reading is even worse than I expected, I hope that there is no such difficult ability in this world, maybe things are not so bad, the other party also has friendly thoughts, maybe the other party really does not have the ability to read minds, after all, all this is the worst prediction.

Again.. Even if the other party can read minds, it doesn't mean that Coulson has no way, he still has. The secret weapon.

So in this case, it is true that Coulson does not know if there is a backup support, but he has already made his choice, and he chooses to trust Director Fury.

"It's a nuisance."

Mei next to her frowned, obviously realizing that this mission was not so simple, she had long been mentally prepared for a mission involving the Stranger, but the current situation was still more than she expected.

"Are you sure we're going to have contact with him?"

How many secrets does a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent with Level 8 clearance know, and even a trace of secrets is seen by the other party, it may cause a big problem.

So they just came to the door so rashly? It's better to replace some field team members who don't know anything, this is the heyday of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s development, and the number of low-level agents is simply uncountable.

"It's the Director's order."

Coulson obviously understands this, too, but it was Nick Fury who made him contact the target, probably. Nick Fury has an idea of his own.

As for May, her authority is much lower than Coulson's, and since Coulson is here, then May is not a problem.

"Take it easy."

Seeing May's displeasure, Coulson still said with a smile, "This is all just our speculation, believe me, I don't think there will be any major accidents in this mission." ”

Glancing at May again, Coulson added, "You haven't forgotten that the opponent's information states that the combat power is unknown, and the threat is extremely high, at least two or more support teams must be dispatched to take down the opponent." ”

"Of course." Mei said coldly.

Coulson shrugged, "Let's go, then." ”

Although the other party may have the ability to read minds, but the necessary camouflage is still indispensable, Coulson took off his suit, and May has long since changed out of his tight combat suit and changed into a casual style of home, like an office worker with a loose job, and the two seem to be passing by here by chance in their spare time, temporarily interested in this store.

But even so, it is still too strange for two middle-aged people who are not young to go to the anime, film and television peripheral stores that most of them are liked by young people in broad daylight.

It can't be helped, after all, it was a task that Nick Fury personally threw to Coulson.

"Welcome!"

It's not the kind of very old storefront, you still need to ask if there is anyone inside after opening the door, and the hustle and bustle of the film and television peripheral store is full of floor-to-ceiling glass windows on all sides, and things are clear at a glance, just like a supermarket full of modern atmosphere.

So Coulson and the others naturally didn't pretend to knock on the door, just pretended to be ordinary people, pushed the door open very casually, looked around and walked in.

And as soon as I pushed the door open, there was a welcome voice on a poster next to it.,Coulson took a closer look.,It seems to be an anime character he hasn't seen.,A very cute girl.。。 Well, based on Coulson's urgent knowledge of the anime circle on the way half an hour after coming, maybe it doesn't have to be a girl.

Many stores have such ornaments to welcome customers or something, and they are inconspicuous, so Coulson didn't care, he and May noticed another thing.

The surrounding stores are not closed today, and not only that, everything inside is clean and tidy, and the goods are in good condition, although the placement may be a little chaotic, densely packed with figures, posters, comic books, etc., which are not classified like supermarkets.

But undeniably, the entire store was not damaged at all.

Like that's how it's supposed to be.

There doesn't seem to be anything strange about it. If it weren't for Coulson's knowledge that there was a fierce battle here a few hours ago, at least dozens of ninjas were fighting here.

But now, the store does not show a trace of vandalism.

There was no need to signal to Mei, she had already pretended to look around at the goods while observing the surroundings without leaving a trace.

How exactly is it fixed.

Maintenance workers can fix it all, but it's definitely not so fast, and most importantly. It's not like that, it doesn't leave a trace.

When Mei looked at the surrounding environment, Coulson also found one thing, the boss was not there, or there was no one in the store on the first floor for the time being, and the carefully observed S.H.I.E.L.D. intelligence officers naturally knew that the second floor was where the owner of the store lived, and if there was no one on the first floor, it would definitely be on the second floor.

This is a good opportunity.

"Anyone?"

Coulson's gaze quickly skimmed over a few places where surveillance cameras might have been installed, and then saw an undisguised probe in a relatively conspicuous location, well, it's not surprising that any store would have surveillance installed.

He continued to disguise himself as an ordinary guest, lowered his voice and made a few symbolic calls, and then immediately joined Mei's ranks, curiously surveying the surroundings.

Ordinary comic books, ordinary figures, ordinary movie DVDs, ordinary poster videos, ordinary model toys, ordinary cards. Wait, the cards!

At the same time, Coulson and May noticed a neat window card behind the glass counter, and the two of them looked at each other, and at the same time thought of the poker soldier mentioned in the document.

Although it is not clear what kind of card this is for the time being, Disney is still Hasbro, and what kind of game it is, but it does not prevent them from thinking of some not-so-wonderful things.

Do you want.. Take it out and take a look.

"I don't recommend you take it out."

"Because mortals always try to master forces beyond their control."

But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind the two of them, and Mei was slightly startled, as an agent who was biased in the direction of battle, she didn't even realize when this person appeared behind her.

However, for this mission, both of them had been mentally prepared for a long time, and did not show surprise, Coulson turned around, and then unsurprisingly saw the owner of this store, which is also the target of the mission at this time, Angomaka.

The other person on the information, Lucy, the clerk, is not here, and should be upstairs.

It may be that Coulson was silent for a long time, and the other party showed a smile, "What was said in the latest episode of the New Seven Deadly Sins, um... It's a cartoon, but I haven't seen it before. ”

"It must seem like a middle two." The smile of the other party was humble.

Now, it's time for Coulson to show off the qualities of a good agent, and he responds with the same expression and very naturally, "It's a little... ”

He still looked around, as if he was very curious about the store, "Cartoons. . . I'm past the age to look at this thing. ”

Mei next to her seemed to be attracted by the conversation between the two and looked away.

"I think so." Yi Huan continued to laugh, "Then why do you want to come in, most of the time, this peripheral store attracts young people, not like you. ”

Middle aged.

Yi Huan looked at the two of them for a while, and the words were not finished, but the meaning was already obvious.
