Chapter 91: The ability to see through lies
"I have the utmost concern for every law-abiding citizen." When Nick Fury said this, his face was as dull purple as Melinda's.
Rorschach remained silent, and followed Nick Fury's words: "Then you invited me here, didn't you apply for medical insurance for me?" ”
Nick Fury's color changed again, from dark purple to a little translucent.
"Alright, Rorschach, let's stop tempting each other like this, shall we?" Nick Fury said visibly with a little impatience.
But Rorschach continued to sneer as if he didn't notice it at all: "You see that I have come all the way to your territory, and you don't even prepare a seat for me, and then blame me for talking too much. I guess that's probably the difference between Eastern and Western cultures, right? ”
Then, the red on Nick Fury's face was darker and more pronounced.
Now Rorschach could be sure that the color red must represent anger. The angrier a person is, the more pronounced the crimson Rorschach can see.
After being scolded by Rorschach so hardly and softly, Nick Fury's patience was obviously at the limit, and he said straight to the point: "Rorschach, everything that happened in Afghanistan before, for the sake of Mr. Zheng Xian, we in S.H.I.E.L.D. can not blame the past." But the premise is that you don't do anything that endangers public safety. ”
"What do you mean by that I stopped the abomination with Tony last night, and it wasn't a good thing, and it affected public safety? Is my English so poor that I hear it wrong when I'm half a year old, or is it that Director Fury is trying to make things difficult for me, Rorschach? Rorschach asked curiously.
"You should understand that the main task of S.H.I.E.L.D. is to cover up some supernatural things before the public is ready, so as not to cause panic. But last night, your performance was far beyond what was acceptable to the public. Now there are rumors on the Internet that you are an alien, you know? Nick Fury said rather angrily.
However, in Rorschach's opinion, the red light on Nick Fury's face was a little weaker than before.
According to this speculation, the anger on Nick Fury's face seems to be faked. The rumors spread on the Internet do not seem to be as serious as the few words that Rorschach just said sarcastically about him.
Rorschach suddenly thought it was funny, as if he had seen something new.
"So, you're trying to put me up at a press conference to explain this?" Rorschach said with a smile.
This time, Nick Fury is really "red".
Shouldn't this be a mutual bargain and then take a step back and compromise?
probably didn't expect that Rorschach, who had been pulling Zheng Xian's tiger skin before, suddenly played his cards out of common sense, which made Nick Fury's stomach a little unbearable. If Rorschach shows the slightest cowardice, then Nick Fury will press forward step by step, so as to obtain greater benefits in negotiations.
But now it seems that Rorschach is completely emboldened. And Nick Fury is really a little bit helpless about him. The current S.H.I.E.L.D. can't risk offending Zheng Xian to deal with Rorschach, or rather, the benefits are not enough for Nick Fury to take risks.
However, Nick Fury is the king of agents after all, and his ability to control emotions is also top-notch. Seeing that it was useless to pretend to be angry to threaten, he changed his tone and said, "Rorschach, I don't think you want this kind of rumor to spread around and affect your legitimate business. Well, S.H.I.E.L.D. can help you deal with all these rumors. But in exchange, you must promise not to continue to show your special abilities in public. ”
This time, Nick Fury's colors are normal, and there are no more neon-like colors.
"That's the only request?" Rorschach asked curiously.
If this is all there is to it, Nick Fury doesn't need to invite himself to come to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters to talk about it in person.
"That's the premise of our next negotiations, and if you don't even agree to that, then we don't have to talk about it anymore." Nick Fury said very seriously.
Rorschach thought for a moment, nodded and said, "I'm not Tony's kind of person who likes to be in the limelight, so naturally I don't want these rumors to continue to ferment." However, the situation was critical, and if I hadn't done this, more people would have died. ”
"I understand this situation very well, so I asked you to come here to discuss it together, instead of directly asking Melinda to arrest you in the S.H.I.E.L.D. prison." Nick Fury said with a small threat.
Rorschach didn't care about this trivial matter, and then asked, "Then Director Fury, what do you want to talk about when you come to me?" Rorschach asked.
"I've heard that your company has developed a new type of agent that can heal wounds quickly?" Nick Fury said.
"You want a recipe process?" Rorschach asked bluntly.
"No, no, no, how could I be so greedy?" Nick Fury said with a laugh. And this time, purple appeared on his face.
This kind of words, even fools can see that he is lying, and if you reason in this way, purple represents deception and lies.
Melinda's face had a purple glow twice before, once when she said she didn't know what Nick Fury was doing with Rorschach. This is a lie, Melinda was probably told by Nick Fury before she left.
The second lie is that Melinda said that the Quint fighter can save time, and now it seems that the time-saving is naturally false, to prevent Rorschach from knowing where the location of S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters is.
It's a pity that Melinda didn't know that Rorschach had Violet, and the information inside S.H.I.E.L.D. was not a secret to him at all.
Seeing Rorschach's thoughtful expression, Nick Fury thought he was thinking about the healing potion, so he continued: "Rorschach, I don't know how much you spent to develop this potion, but this potion is indeed very effective for S.H.I.E.L.D., and can allow my agents to avoid a lot of unnecessary casualties. So, how do we work together? ”
"You want the finished product directly?" Rorschach asked.
"Yes, we can give money, you can give us the finished potion directly. Of course, our S.H.I.E.L.D. funds are a bit tight, so the price may not be too high. Nick Fury said.
When the big bald head said this, it was like a purple light, and Rorschach was almost blinded. However, after telling such a big lie, Nick Fury's face remained unchanged, so that Rorschach had to admire the acting skills of the king of secret agents.
Rorschach thought for a while, there is really no market for healing potions for ordinary people, but for those agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. who are born and die at every turn, they are indeed life-saving treasures, and these high-risk occupations are the main customers of healing potions.
"If you want a finished potion, I won't refuse a fair deal. However, in the transaction, I would like to add a clause. For every ten potions, in addition to the corresponding US dollars, I also ask your S.H.I.E.L.D. to provide more than one ton of nuclear waste or other radioactive materials. Rorschach made his own terms to Nick Fury.
"Nuclear waste? Can you tell me what you want this scrap for? Nick Fury was obviously a little surprised by the request. It's all called waste, naturally it's irradiated garbage that can't be reused, and others have to spend a lot of money to landfill it, but Rorschach still has to buy it, which is really a bit confusing.
"It's used to pour it into the Sea of Japan to poison all the little devils, do you believe it?" Rorschach grinned.
Nick Fury doesn't even have to look at the color to know it's a joke, and no normal person would believe this excuse. But what Rorschach meant was that there was no comment, and Nick Fury didn't ask.
The next step was the details of the transaction, the basic price, and the number of deliveries per month, etc., and a consensus was quickly reached on both sides without the intention of opening their mouths.
Rorschach was sent back to the company by Melinda, and after getting off the plane, he called Matt and asked him out for a drink. One is to relate to the past, and the other is that Matt also has this ability to distinguish lies. It's just right that you can talk to him about your thoughts.
It's just that his tone on the other side of the phone is a little heavy, and he tells Rorschach a not-so-good news - Mrs. Cardinas, who rented a house to Rorschach before, has been murdered, and Matt has just seen her for the last time in the hospital.
