Chapter 154 - The Costume Plan
The Sanqu wing building has always been a relatively cold place, after all, everyone here is either a spy or an agent, and they will be a little defensive of each other, which has caused the relationship between the staff to be relatively estranged.
But now, as Natasha walked all the way, she found that she seemed to be able to hear everyone's hearts, although she didn't hear much, but she could do it.
For example, there was a civilian who looked like a little white face, and when he saw Natasha, he shyly looked away, but Natasha knew that this guy was thinking about tying her up and doing something nasty.
After walking some distance, Natasha came across a smartly dressed blonde female agent, who thought about the same little white face as before, except that she was tied up for herself.
Just after Natasha took the elevator and determined to go to the floor where the director's office was located, another big man walked into the elevator, he was going to the floor where the special operations team was located, he stopped paying attention after looking at Natasha, and he looked like he was still a gentleman, but after Natasha listened to his heart a little, he almost didn't spit it out, and he didn't say anything, the most important thing is that the object is no longer human.
Anyway, after going all the way, even if there are not many people left in Natasha's discipline, she feels that her festival is still quite valuable, and she feels that this matter must be talked to Nick Fury, it seems that psychological counseling cannot be carried out only after the task, but also usually followed up.
After the elevator reached the floor confirmed by Natasha, she immediately jumped out as fast as she could, and if she stayed for another second, she was afraid that she would really throw up.
It didn't take long for her to return to Nick Fury's office, and she was a little confused when she saw the four people sitting together playing mahjong in front of her.
"What are you doing?" Natasha asked, dumbfounded.
"You wait a minute, now is the critical time," Nick Fury was talking about when May was touching the cards, and there were not many cards on the table that had not been played, it seemed that May touched this card was very crucial, otherwise Nick Fury's expression would not be so serious.
I saw Mei say with a cold face, "Hongzhong, find out the same color, let's give money," and after finishing speaking, he began to reach out and ask for money.
Hawkeye Clint Barton slapped his forehead and said with a gloomy expression, "Who proposed to play mahjong, don't you know that Mei has Chinese blood?" Mahjong was invented by their ancestors. ”
Coulson raised his hand a little embarrassed and said, "It seems that I proposed it, I didn't even know that May could play mahjong, if I had known, I would have proposed to play Texas Hold'em." ”
"The Chinese may have inherited the skill of playing mahjong through blood, well, now that Natasha has returned, then you guys hurry up and go on a mission, I'm going to start taking care of business," Nick Fury wanted to kick these people out of the office quickly so that he wouldn't have to pay.
Unfortunately, he mistakenly underestimated Mei, who has Chinese blood, and his attachment to his property, saw that Mei did not speak, so he stared at Nick Fury with his eyes that could freeze the entire office, making him very uncomfortable, and he could only face this problem.
Nick Fury stared at May's eyes, then gritted his teeth and said, "Agent May, you should know that it is illegal to gamble in private, especially during work hours. ”
"You just have to pay, and if someone comes to arrest me that day, I'll tell the other party the whole thing about today," Mei's voice didn't even have the slightest fluctuation in tone, as if she was describing a fact, and she was indeed describing a fact.
But in this way, Nick Fury was very faceless, the words were talked to death, there was no way, Nick Fury could only obediently pay the bill, and then drove them out.
As soon as they walked outside the door, Clint and Coulson raised their hands together, and the four thumbs were particularly conspicuous, it seemed that they still admired May for having the courage to ask Nick Fury to collect money, but admiration is admiration, they themselves are absolutely not capable of such a thing.
And Natasha, who wanted to tell Nick Fury about her situation, could only stare at her beautiful eyes and watch in amazement as this unreliable thing happened in front of her eyes, like a farce.
"Natasha, why did you go for so long, and your body is okay, right?" Clint, who was closest to Natasha, was the first to notice that her expression was a little wrong, so he immediately said with concern.
"Not only is my body fine, but I'm also very healthy, just a little ······ Neurasthenia," in the end, Natasha still chose to hide her current "condition", and after determining what was going on with her, she told ······ about the situation.
Natasha doesn't know who to tell, although they have worked together for more than ten years, these people in front of them can be trusted, but Natasha's own changes are really incredible, she doesn't know if Nick Fury will send someone to catch her on the operating table and slice her after telling this secret, so let's not tell everyone yet, and after this thing is over, let's talk about it after I understand this ability better.
After several people discussed, the time of the action was set at three o'clock in the afternoon, and then Natasha would go back to the Gu Mansion first, with her current status, as long as she made up an excuse, then Coulson would take Clint and May into the building to contact Alice, if things went well, Natasha could take the opportunity of their entry into the underground laboratory to find out where the entrance to the building was, even if it was really like Coulson guessed, The entrance was created by Alice using her superpowers to teleport, so it can be regarded as a mistake.
If it is really relying on superpowers to move, then Natasha can investigate in a targeted manner, who can enter the Gu Clan, and everyone agrees that the one who can enter the laboratory must be the real behind-the-scenes boss of the Gu Clan, there is no doubt about this.
So Natasha set off first, she had to go separately from the others, otherwise it would be easy to connect the two groups of them together, and it would cause disadvantages to the task afterwards.
About half an hour later, after Coulson confirmed the time through his watch, he drove off in the car that was temporarily requested by S.H.I.E.L.D., and they discussed the details of the operation many times along the way, but in the end they found that even if they planned well, as long as they didn't want to tear up their faces with Alice, it was best not to implement any plan, and following the conditions proposed by Alice at that time was the best way.
Along the way, Coulson completely obeyed the traffic rules, driving at a speed of thirty to forty yards, to be honest, this way of driving is a bit sorry for this excellent performance car, anyway, Clint is looking at the egg pain for a while, May didn't say much, and the time is not in a hurry, as long as the task can be completed.
Under the control of Coulson, the car was smoothly parked in the underground parking lot of the Gu family, and after the three of them got out of the car in turn, they came to the front desk on the first floor, and they were greeted by a brown-haired girl who looked very innocent.
Coulson, like the last time he came here, said that the person he was looking for was Alice, and the rest of the time was to wait. In the process of waiting, Natasha also passed by this place once, although they did not have any communication, but they have been working together for many years, and they are already very familiar with their respective ways of acting, and sometimes they don't need any communication, they know what the other party is doing.
Among the three of them, Clint was curious to look left and right, constantly observing this place, Coulson and May were not so interested, after all, they saw everything they should have seen when they came last time, and even saw some things that should not be seen, and now they both sat calmly at the reception, drinking good coffee and tea, not to mention moisturizing.
It didn't take long for Alice to appear in Coulson's sight, and after seeing her, Coulson immediately put down his coffee and stood up from the spot, and walked out of the reception room to greet her.
"It's been a long time since Miss Alice," Coulson said in a slightly agitated tone.
"Hello, Agent Coulson, is there something wrong with you bringing Agent May and another person I don't know to me this time," Alice asked, confused.
"Is it convenient to talk here?" Coulson gestured pointedly.
"Come with me, let's talk to my lab," Alice didn't think much about it, and led the way out of the reception room, Coulson and the others immediately followed, and at the same time Natasha also pretended to have forgotten to take something, and after they had left a distance, they followed and set off together.
Coulson's route is different from the last time, because the whole building has been replaced, but Coulson they can't feel this, they still think the route is the same as last time.
Just after Natasha followed for a distance, Alice walked back from this corridor alone, and showed a special smile to her when she passed by Natasha's side, but the Coulson who accompanied her had disappeared, Natasha did not rush over, but waited until Alice left, and then searched in which direction, and finally she stopped in front of the three elevators, because there was no way ahead.
It was now clear that either the secret passage was under one of the three elevators, or the passage didn't exist, and everything was as Coulson had guessed.
However, Natasha still thinks that the second possibility is a little more likely, because she has already checked the elevator in this building, and there are no other programs hidden in it, and she has also called up the blueprints from the computer, and the blueprints do not leave any room for the construction of secret passages.
"It seems that Coulson's guess is very likely to be true, then my task is also completed, and the next step is up to Coulson," At this point, Natasha's mission is over, and she is right, the next task is really up to Coulson to do it himself, because he is the only one who is awake now.
Came to the underground laboratory, last time Coulson didn't pay special attention to the elevator What's wrong, but this time under his observation, he did not notice any traces of the elevator running, the three of them seemed to be on the elevator not long after, the elevator door opened again, but there is no process at all, if there is no sound, it can be said that the silence of the elevator is good, but even the unique to the elevator up and down, the faint sense of weightlessness is not right.
Coulson now felt that the possibility he was talking about was getting higher and higher, at least reaching the eighth floor.
When the elevator door opens, it's still Alice, and Coulson and May have accepted it, but Clint can't accept it, which makes Coulson feel a little funny.
It's still the same as before, after taking them directly to the laboratory, Alice left, and after pushing the door open and entering, there was another one waiting here anyway, in fact, Coulson was very curious, since they were all alone, so could they ask anyone? He also asked this question specifically.
"yes, it's the same when you ask anyone, our memories are shared," Alice replied to Coulson's questions.
"Then why did you bring us here?" Coulson continued to ask.
"Our memories are shared, but the host that can manipulate the entire underground laboratory is here, and if you don't operate on the host, you can't open any door in this laboratory, and you don't necessarily blow it up every time you open the door," maybe it's confidence in the security measures here (there is not even a passage, can there be no confidence?) Alice wasn't afraid of Coulson, and told them directly.
"I see," Coulson paused, organized his words, and then said the purpose of the trip, "Miss Alice, I'm sure you know that we have a very difficult problem, so we want more powerful armor, I don't know if it's okay?" Coulson didn't ask if there was any, but if he could, he was almost sure that Alice would have stronger armor here.
In fact, Coulson's speculation is not wrong, the combat power of the knight's armor alone is far beyond the strong breeding armor, but this thing is something that Xia Mingming assigned to the insiders, Alice does not have the right to give them to outsiders, but the knight armor is not good, it doesn't mean that Alice has no other substitutes here, don't forget, the strong breeding armor that was handed over to Coulson before is just an experiment, and these test items have already made them very satisfied.
