Coulson and May haven't had a very good time lately. Even with Nick Fury behind him, Fury couldn't take care of all aspects after all, so they still accepted a dozen various inquiries from various departments. After using countless responses such as No Comment, Not Enough Permission, etc., I finally let the matter come to an end.

Coulson got a rare day off. His girlfriend had a cello recital today, and Coulson was ready early to surprise his girlfriend. He put on the tie given to him by his girlfriend and held a bouquet of flowers in his hand, ready to go to the concert.

However, all this was interrupted by Simon, who came to the door.

"We've sent you a message through the magic ring. But you didn't pick up. Please explain. ”

"I ......," Coulson said, speechless. He's had his ring handed in a long time ago, and he's in an unknown research lab now.

"I'm sorry, I lost my ring."

"Huh."

Simon took out a new ring and handed it to him.

"I think so. Outer member of the Magical Council, Coulson. You have lost the property of the Council for your own reasons. So over the next year, all your wages will be deducted to pay for the council's losses. ”

"I still have a salary?" Coulson looked confused.

"Of course, you're a peripheral member of a contracted contract, and of course you're paid. You think the Magic Council is a volunteer organization? We're going to live too. ”

"Okay, but a year's worth of wages is to be deducted? I think that ring should be the most basic level of standard equipment, right? ”

"Yes, indeed. Any questions? ”

"Can I afford a year's salary to buy the most basic standard equipment?"

"Of course not, you can buy a better one with just one month's salary."

"But you just said that I would be deducted from my salary for one year."

"It's a year, isn't it true that you don't need to be punished for making mistakes? It's just a whole number. ”

“...... Well, I guess you're not just here to tell me the news. Coulson forcibly held back 10,000 MMPs and asked.

"Well, of course not. The Magic Council will have a big mission in the near future. As one of the agents on earth, we need your cooperation. ”

"What do you need me to do?" Coulson also began to get serious, in his opinion, this was the first cooperation between the Magic Council and the official, and naturally it should be taken seriously by two hundred percent.

"We need you to organize an army to cooperate with one of our operations in Brooklyn."

“....... Wait, I think you misunderstood something. I'm a senior agent. But my highest authority is only to mobilize a tactical squad of four, eight to twelve people. I think you're talking about more than that, right? ”

"For a squad of twelve, at least forty are needed to barely be enough."

"That's a piece of cake...... It's weird. The use of hundreds of troops in New York City requires congressional approval. What are you thinking? How can I get you five hundred special forces. ”

"That's your problem, Coulson. I said it's a big mission, if you can successfully cooperate with the council. Not only will your previous punishment be canceled, but you will also receive a large 'bonus'. ”

"It's not a question of bonuses, it's an army of hundreds of people, what do you want them to do? War? ”

"Yes, war. A war you have never seen before. Of course, you are only in charge of the periphery, and the core issues are handled by the professionals of the council. ”

"Will they be in danger?"

"It's war, Coulson, don't you understand? They will kill a lot of people. Simon said what Coulson had expected in a tone of course.

"What happens if you fail. Destroy the world? ”

"We don't know?"

"Don't know?"

"Yes, the Magical Council has dealt with thousands of mystical side crises. But this time, the situation is unprecedented. So, we don't know what the consequences will be. ”

"I see. I'll do my best. This sentence of not knowing only made Coulson even more jealous.

"The mission starts at any time, and be sure to carry the communication ring twenty-four hours a day. There is also the above information that Melinda shares with you. It's up to you to tell her. Remember Coulson, this was not the first war, and it was not the last. No one person, or organization, can control everything forever. Not even the Parliament, we are always faced with unknown threats. You have to learn to adapt. Life in the world is far beyond your imagination. Even a rich man like Daniel Rand can't escape these dangers. ”

Simon left cleanly. Coulson was left with a bewildered face. It's just that in the next second, his face became an unprecedented solemnity. An army of five hundred men is needed. What does the Magic Council want to do? What kind of crisis is it? And Daniel Rand......

Coulson reluctantly looked at the concert ticket in his hand. Then he slipped it into his pocket. He pulled out his phone and dialed the number of the flower shop.

"Please, you guys at Times Square open-air concert time. A bouquet of roses was presented to the cellist Lisa. If you have a card, write it...... I'm sorry. ”

Putting down the phone, Coulson regained a resolute expression on his face. He unleashed his beloved antique sports car and headed straight for S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.

"Go and assemble an army of hundreds in New York City. Do you know what happens then? The eyes of the whole world will be drawn to it. Countless conspiracy theories would flood S.H.I.E.L.D., and not even the U.S. government, or the United Nations Council, could afford it. ”

"I know that, but I'm just looking at it from personal experience. I'm afraid they're not talking about it. ”

"I need to know something more specific. On that alone, I can't convince the Council, let alone the U.S. government. Will you be able to reach them? ”

"That ring of mine seems to only accept information, not backlinks. But the mage named Simon gave me a message in his private capacity. I think you can try it. ”

"Tell me about it."

"Daniel Rand."

"The rich kid who suddenly returned? Does he have any problems? Or is it related to this unknown crisis. ”

"It's not clear yet, but I've done a preliminary investigation. About twenty-four hours ago, Daniel's girlfriend, a teacher at a gym, was suspected to have been kidnapped. Daniel then vanished. I've sent someone to look into this. Up to six hours to get a message. ”

"I hope so. I'll go talk to Pierce. You need to speed things up. I had a bad feeling. ”

Pym Tech's Killian also received the news at the same time. Nine test subjects are to participate in a combat exercise. Before Kiri could retort, the nine men had already been taken away.

And underneath the sinkhole in New York City. A terrifying scene is unfolding. Countless homeless missing people are imprisoned in cages one after another. They paralyze themselves with drugs. I could only watch my blood being slowly drained away by a long hose. And the blood that was drawn was eventually pooled in a huge pool of blood. Hundreds of meters deep underground, the pool of blood was windless and automatic, constantly churning. It seems that there is some kind of evil existence that can't wait to come to the world.
