Chapter 214: Divergence
"One more thing." Nick Fury turned his chair and stared at everyone present with one eye before he said in a solemn tone, "What do you think of Tony Stark's suggestion that we include Ling Xiao among the Avengers?" ”
Everyone present looked at each other, and even Coulson didn't know about the news before, so they were all surprised.
The first to speak was Coulson, who had personally witnessed this matter, and of course he had to be the first to express his opinion: "Ling Xiao doesn't have a good opinion of S.H.I.E.L.D., we have investigated him three times in a row, and let him know all of them, so I don't think he will agree to join the Avengers so easily." ”
"Three times, what does three times mean, I've only sent Natasha to investigate him once in depth." Nick Fury turned to look at Coulson sharply, frowned and asked, "Plus the first time you went to investigate in person, it only adds up to two times, what's going on three times?" ”
"Didn't you send Garrett to investigate Ling Xiao, Director?" Coulson was suddenly shocked, he quickly took out the portrait that Ling Xiao handed him and handed it to Nick Fury, and said in a low voice: "This is the image that Ling Xiao drew by someone himself, and he suspects that our S.H.I.E.L.D. has investigated him again." ”
"John Garrett!" Nick Fury's suspicions have always been very high, and even Garrett, as a highly decorated Level 8 agent, still can't help but raise suspicion in Fury's heart.
"Maybe Garrett just saw something similar by accident, and he was a little curious and looked it up by the way." Hill suddenly glanced up at Nick Fury, blinked, and winked slightly.
"Perhaps." Nick Fury nodded without moving, and said to Coulson: "I'll talk to Garrett about this matter personally, Coulson, don't ask more." ”
"Yes, Director." After saying this, Coulson couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
To be honest, Ling Xiao still didn't know enough about Coulson, he originally thought that Coulson would continue to investigate secretly and would not mention this matter to anyone else until he found out conclusive evidence, but in fact, he still underestimated Coulson's loyalty to S.H.I.E.L.D.
Indeed, Coulson, as Ling Xiao expected, did not go to his friend John Garrett to confront him head-on, but he did not hide the matter himself, but reported it to his boss, Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. .
Although he didn't know why Fury made such a decision, he vaguely noticed something strange, but as a qualified agent, he would never interfere in things that should not be asked, and John Garrett clearly violated such an unspoken rule.
Stark hopes that Ling Xiao can join the Avengers, on the one hand, because Ling Xiao's strength is not weak, and on the other hand, because his healing skills are quite good, several seriously injured agents in the bureau quickly stabilized their injuries after he made a move. And among the Avengers, there should indeed be a person who is proficient in medical skills and has considerable ability to protect himself or fight. ”
Nick Fury glanced at everyone before continuing, "This is Stark's opinion, I want to hear your opinion, Natasha?" ”
"In that regard, I don't think there's anything wrong with that." The Black Widow frowned, and said with some worry: "I'm worried about his character, although it seems that he is no different from ordinary people, but I always feel that there is a kind of indifference in his bones, as if none of us are taken by him." ”
Natasha remembered that when Ling Xiao gave her skin care, under the temptation of her nakedness, her eyes were full of coldness, and there was no fluctuation that a man should have, this kind of person's heart must be extremely hard.
Hearing Natasha say this, Mei glanced at her with some confusion, listening to what Natasha said, it seemed that the Ling Xiao she knew was not the same as the Ling Xiao she knew. However, May did not open her mouth to refute, she was not involved in the matter of the Avengers, and she did not have any right to speak.
Among these people present, Hawkeye Barton and Black Widow Natasha are both members of Fury's circle of Avengers, while Coulson is a level 8 agent responsible for the specific implementation of this plan, Hill is Fury's most trusted assistant, a level 9 agent, and Melinda's agent level is only level 7.
In fact, Melinda didn't even have the right to know about many things today, if it weren't for the fact that she and Ling Xiao were both Chinese, and there were many things that needed to be consulted with her, she wouldn't even be qualified to participate in this meeting.
However, Melinda didn't speak, which didn't mean that no one questioned Natasha, but Colson turned around and looked at Natasha, and asked with doubts: "Indifference, why have I never felt that Ling may be a little extreme, I don't deny this, after all, as an orphan, it is inevitable to be radical." There may be indifference, for a person who doesn't trust, isn't it normal to be indifferent, maybe too much enthusiasm is the problem! ”
"What do you mean, Coulson?" Natasha always felt that Coulson was sarcastic in and out of her words, and her face changed, and she scolded Coulson.
"I'm not interesting." Coulson hurriedly waved his hand, what happened to him just now, how could he say that kind of thing casually, he quickly changed his words and said: "As a strong man with B+ level strength, it is understandable that Ling Xiao is somewhat sure. And isn't that just right, if it's a saint who hasn't been determined, I don't think it should be included in revenge. ”
Seeing everyone nodding thoughtfully, Coulson continued: "Ling, he knows Dr. Banner, he is Mr. Stark's personal doctor, and Thor has fought side by side, and he has also had results with Natasha, and Barton also knows him, if he is included in the Avengers, can it play a role as a lubricant, Director, this is likely to play a positive role for the Avengers." ”
"I still don't think he's suitable to join the Avengers." Natasha shook her head and said expressionlessly, "I can't trust this person. ”
"Huh!" Seeing Coulson and Natasha arguing over whether Ling Xiao would join S.H.I.E.L.D., Barton couldn't help but chuckle: "You guys, you always think that everything is under your control, do you say that whoever wants to join the Avengers must join the Avengers, maybe people don't plan to join the Avengers at all." ”
For Patton's words, Coulson and Natasha didn't agree, wasn't Stark not unwilling to join the Avengers before, and wasn't he pulled in. However, Ling Xiao is different from Stark after all, Tony Stark's father Howard was one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D., and even if he did not join S.H.I.E.L.D., a series of high-level officials of S.H.I.E.L.D. regarded him as their own.
As for Ling Xiao, really, it's not that S.H.I.E.L.D. boasts, if they really make up their minds to make Ling Xiao a member of S.H.I.E.L.D., or directly join S.H.I.E.L.D., there are countless ways, unless Ling Xiao has the intention of tearing his face with S.H.I.E.L.D., he can only be forced to accept one way.
The strength of S.H.I.E.L.D. is not only his network of agents all over the world, but also his powerful force, which is not reflected in the individual aspect, knowing that S.H.I.E.L.D. can call on the weapons systems of the US military.
For example, the Destroyer, although its strength is terrifying, it may not be impossible to deal with, if one missile is not good, then ten, if ten is not good, then a hundred, and in the face of special threats, S.H.I.E.L.D. can even use nuclear bombs to attack.
As powerful as the Destroyer, Magneto and the like may not be able to withstand the attack of a nuclear bomb.
Nick Fury took a deep breath, glanced at everyone, and said, "Since everyone's opinions on this matter are quite different, let's put it aside for now, and wait until the communication with Asgard is over." Ladies and gentlemen, everything discussed at today's meeting is top secret, and you can't leak half a sentence to the outside world, and you can't do it to anyone, understand? ”
