"The bones of the whole body are broken, and the skin is corroded to varying degrees." Arthur put on his gloves, turned the body over, examined it, and said, "But judging from the marks of gunfire on the arm, this person should be the mercenary who was shot in the arm during the infighting, fell into the pit, and was devoured by the python."

Then it was spit out and run over a few hours later. ”

The mercenary's corpse looked like a mass of ground that had been run over by a steamroller on the huge trail around the serpent's pit, and the internal organs that had burst out of the stomach were scattered all over the ground, and there was no expression on the flattened head.

"Quite right." Li Yue stood up, handed the rattan and eggshell in his hand to Arthur and said, "But you ignored one point - there was a conflict around the snake pit, and all the blood orchids were collected without omission, they calculated that the pythons were mating, and they didn't have time to pay attention to the others."

And the only ones who know this are S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. ”

Arthur took the rattan and eggshell and asked Li Yue, "What does the boss mean is that there is an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. in this mercenary?" ”

"That's right, he's right in front of you." Phil Colson on the side said with a bitter face, "According to the agreement, he should have led the S.H.I.E.L.D. team to collect the Blood Orchid. Due to a mistake in the time estimation of the headquarters, the gathering team was a few days late, and by the time he arrived, he was gone.

Headquarters sent me here to take on the case, and by the time I found him, he was already what he is now. ”

Li Yue shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's not necessarily that the scientists at the headquarters have misguessed the time!" This poor fellow did keep his promise and arrived here with the gathering team of S.H.I.E.L.D.

However, the group of murderous scum who did not blink an eye, after collecting the blood orchid, wounded him and threw him into the snake pit. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Want to see it?" Li Yue took out an item from the backpack of the mercenary's corpse and put it in Phil Coulson's hand and said, "I can 'take' you to that time and see the scene when he died." ”

Before Phil Coulson agreed, Li Yue directly led him into the spiritual space.

……

It was an old-looking but sturdy boat, and the sound of the rain tinkling down on the edge of the boat and finally falling on the surface of the river fascinated Jones.

Unlike the captains who indulge in bars all day, he loves the Amazon River, the fish, the fruits, the animals.

Especially the monkeys, he has a monkey named Spike. The little guy stayed with him here for thirty years.

Thirty years - he had long forgotten about life in the city, his daughter in San Francisco, and the idea of leaving.

All he cares about is one thing, to complete the mission given to him by the Order, and then he can accompany Spike here for the rest of his life.

The middle-aged man, who was nearly fifty years old and bearded, with wrinkles plowing his face, wrote everything down in his diary, and then sent a letter out of the harbor with a smile.

Within a few weeks, a team of soldiers from New York arrived and found Jones Sr.

"Jones?"

"I am! Who are you? ”

The leader took out the S.H.I.E.L.D. work card from his bosom and said, "We are the collection team of S.H.I.E.L.D. this time, and we need your cooperation. ”

After carefully checking the work card of S.H.I.E.L.D., old Jones said with a smile, "Yes, yes, I have been waiting for you for several weeks, and if it is another week, we will have to wait for the next thirty years."

I wasn't here then, and I didn't know it anymore. ”

"We never tell jokes, Jones." The leader frowned and said, "We traveled overnight and needed to collect the Blood Orchid before it fell. ”

"Of course, I'll sail now." Jones smiled and pulled the ship's engine, and for this last task he had spent all his thirty years of energy.

Taking shortcuts, sleepless day and night, and preparing good fruit to entertain people from headquarters—Jones arrived at the place where the blood orchid bloomed the day before.

The boat floated quietly on the river, and they quietly waited for the python to enter the pit and start mating before they came out of the boat and carefully collected the blood orchid.

The bewitching blood orchid is a treasure of youth. But for Jones, it was nothing compared to the joy of retirement.

He teased Spike and smiled when the gathering team was done, "Mission accomplished, congratulations." ”

The leader laughed too, thanks to old Jones, they were able to get here completely and collect the Blood Orchid.

If it is slowed down by a day, the blood orchid will wither, and if it comes too early, it will become food for the python.

"Thank you, old Jones."

"Don't ...... away"

"Bang~"

The sound of a pistol suddenly resounded through this section of the river, and old Jones covered the wound on his shoulder and asked with a wry smile, "Why?" ”

"You're too old to wait for the next thirty years." The leader shrugged and put the pistol back in its holster.

Jones looks up and laughs, slamming away from the gathering team, throwing Spike out of the way with a stunned shoulder and jumping into the snake pit with a flare gun in hand.

In the silence of the forest, a blue flare soared upward, and its fall was accompanied by a terrifying hiss.

The gathering team's face changed, and after cursing a few words, they jumped on the boat and fled in a hurry.

……

Back in the real world, Phil Colson held Li Yue and gasped deeply.

He was brought into the role of Jones, and in the end, he deeply experienced the python entanglement, crushing his bones little by little, the helplessness in swallowing the whole mouth, and Jones's endless sadness and hatred.

His thirty years of youth were dedicated to S.H.I.E.L.D., and he didn't expect that in the end, S.H.I.E.L.D. wouldn't even give him a peaceful old age.

That kind of artistic conception is simply driving people crazy.

"That's not S.H.I.E.L.D.'s gathering team, they're not S.H.I.E.L.D.'s." Phil Coulson helped Li Yue to hold the diary, and said firmly, "I know most of the agents, but I have never met them. ”

"But you can't deny that in S.H.I.E.L.D., someone brewed this tragedy." Li Yue shrugged and said. "You can postpone that, if you want to catch that team, you can't hold me all the time."

Phil Colson propped up his feet and said to the agents on guard around him, "If you find someone in a mercenary team, you don't need to report it, just kill it."

This command takes precedence over the other commands in this mission. ”

It seemed that Phil Coulson was genuinely annoyed, and after experiencing the pain, he had already aroused his anger.

The corners of Li Yue's mouth slightly outlined a smile.
