26. The sequelae come so fast
Anran Lee and Jack were in a fast-food restaurant, watching the rain fall and hit the window, waiting for Melinda to return.
"Boss, have you ever wondered what you would do if you retired one day?" Jack was eating a portion of mashed potatoes and was bored looking for something to talk about.
"I didn't think that I might buy a piece of land and open a winery, a farm or something. Let the cowboy help me manage it, and I can read a book in a rocking chair comfortably, what about you? Jack. Li Anran said as he drank coffee.
"I want to open a hotel, you know the boss! The kind of small hotel in the countryside with warm closets, tasty snacks. It's best to have a companion who has nothing to do with noisy mouths. Jack said with a smile. Then he sighed with some emotion, "I heard from the older generation of researchers that scientific research personnel and logistics personnel like us are not bad, and most of the members of the war department will be killed before they retire." Even if you are lucky enough to survive, you will end yourself because of the pain and the eyes of the people around you. ”
Before she could finish speaking, Melinda burst in with a group of wounded soldiers.
"Lee! We need to get out of here now, now! Melinda hurriedly said, "Let's go back and talk about the specifics!" ”
"Did something happen?" Li Anran picked up the backpack on the dining table and said, "Jack, pack up our equipment." Go for a car. ”
"Okay boss!" Jack ate two more bites of mashed potatoes before grabbing his car keys and running out.
"The arrest failed! We lost two people and there was absolutely no way to fix this incident! You must be escorted out of the country right away! ”
"Did you see that thing? What is it? Li Anran asked, "I need to know what that is to be ready to deal with it." ”
"Didi!" Outside the door, Jack drove a large business vehicle with S.H.I.E.L.D. printed on it, and Melinda didn't talk nonsense with Li Anran, grabbing his arm and dragging him to the car. "I don't have time to explain, I'll talk about it on the way, I've already notified the headquarters to contact Iron Man to deal with this matter, you can rest assured!"
After getting into the car, Li Anran briefly treated the injuries of the wounded and asked, "Now you can talk about it, what happened?" ”
"A blue mutant, at least three meters tall, can use ice-based abilities, and is infinitely powerful, and can shatter the scroll-activated shield with two hits. Normal bullets can't pierce his armor, and the thorns produced by thorn bullets will freeze and crack under the ice. Melinda took off her jacket and said, as far as her eye could see, there were two wounds in her abdomen and under her ribs, and blood was dripping down the wounds, wetting the black clothes.
Li Anran took out scissors from her bag and cut open Melinda's clothes, took out a bottle of red potion and poured it on her wound, and threw a healing magic on her body, and the injury healed at the speed of the naked eye.
Hearing Melinda's introduction, Li Anran already knew what this goal was? The Ice Giant of Jotunheim! Could it be that the re-advent of the Rainbow Bridge broke the original balance, so people from other national uniforms secretly used shortcuts to come to Earth?
Li Anran didn't dare to imagine how many people from the Nine Kingdoms would be welcomed on the earth from now on.
"You've got something to hide from me, Lee!" Looking at Li Anran's expression, Melinda said unhappily.
"Yes, because I know where this monster came from, but I can't tell you." Li Anran said bluntly, "That will make you think I'm a crazy person." ”
"Tell me! I believe you! ”
Li Anran looked at Melinda tangledly, this should be Coulson's work, not his. Interpreting fairy tales, what should be done? Give her a fairy tale book to flip through on her own?
"Well, I don't know how to explain everything that happened, but. I know a person who can explain. Li Anran said, "Moreover, he will report to the director soon." ”
"I want you to tell me! Plum! Right now! Melinda said angrily, "I'll believe everything you say!" I swear! ”
"Alright! Melinda! Have you ever heard of the Golden Palace? In mythology, the king of the gods and the gods dwell! Li Anran explained slowly. I think the last time I went to Coulson's investigative event, I met Thor, the god of thunder, and his hammer. ”
"And the ice giant I met this time made me even more convinced!"
Melinda became indifferent, and then said, "Then you tell me, what is the matter with the circle that appeared in the room?" Not to mention that the Ice Giant can also draw magic circles! If what you say is true! Then there should be energy in that circle, and I don't see any energy in my glasses at all. ”
Li Anran also began to think about Melinda's words, and he felt that he had missed something. The whole thing is weird, why the dead take on the appearance of a skeleton, even if the ice giant likes to eat people, he will not eat so artistically. And they didn't find any melted water stains in the basement apartment either!
"Melinda! Can you tell me you saw the Ice Giants! All right! What was he doing when that mutant was around? When Li Anran talked about the ice giant, he was glared at by Melinda fiercely and immediately changed his words.
"He was dazed, a little flustered, like he was hiding from something! If he was really an ice giant, as you said, he wouldn't be afraid! Although she was dissatisfied with Li Anran's words, Melinda still said everything she saw.
"That's true, but there's still a problem that hasn't been explained." Li Anran frowned and thought for a while and said, "Jack, do you remember the scene when we went to the apartment?" ”
"Of course I do! boss! ”
"Do you remember what's on that corpse? Looks like something black or white? ”
Jack thought for a moment and said, "Yes, indeed!" At the time, you were all talking about the new scout glasses, and I looked at the corpse out of boredom, and there was some black substance stuck to her skeleton, and I didn't bother because it wasn't obvious. ”
"Now everything makes sense." Li Anran replied with a smile.
"What does that mean?" Melinda looked at Li Anran and asked strangely,
"It makes sense why the magic circle is black, why it doesn't show energy in the scout glasses, why all the flesh and blood disappeared after the girl died, and why you saw the ice giant for the first time because he was so dazed and frightened! Everything was explained. ”
"Because it's not the Ice Giant in the basement, he's a different species, even more evil. The circle has no energy because it has already been used! ”
