Chapter 024: The new skill was slapped in the face in an instant
Someone wouldn't have thought that not long after he was excited about developing a new skill, he would be slapped in the face by reality.
It's not that Rhaeggar's 'possession' skill isn't powerful enough. In fact, this weird form weird way is still okay. This is probably more useful than the legendary Black Widow when used as a spy, at least for the most part.
Again, the problem is Malik's body. Coulson put Rhaegar on the cold bench, but he didn't completely ignore him. First of all, he still asked Rhaegar to learn the skills of driving a bus, and from time to time let May test the results; In addition, when they are out in the field, they can't let Rhaegar do whatever he wants on the bus, a guy they don't trust. And there is monitoring on the bus.
Rhaegar was on Skye's ear, following the team members to track down the whereabouts of a guy nicknamed 'Blade Warrior'. The guy is a half-human, half-vampire who was spotted by Skye on surveillance footage during a massacre of a complete vampire, and Coulson then focused the team on the guy. And the guy kept shifting positions, as if he was tracking him. After tracking down to a new place for the fourth time only to find that the Blade Warriors had left, while Skye, May, and Ward searched for various relevant information in the local area and on the Internet again, Fitz suddenly felt after a long journey: "I'm so tired!" When can I swap with Regamary, well, with Regammary? He must be comfortable on the bus all the time. ”
So, someone was cheated like that.
Coulson smiled at Fitz's sentiment and pointed to the tablet in Fitz's hand: "You can see what he's doing now, and see if he's as comfortable as you think." Go ahead. ”
In the previous few days, Rhaegar had done well, so Coulson thought that Rhaegar had a purpose in learning. However, Coulson would not have thought that it was because Rhaegar had joined the Pilot Guild in college in his previous life and learned some skills in flying private jets, which was considered to be a bit of a foundation. And if he hadn't seen Fitz's strange expression and walk over and look at the tablet, he wouldn't have thought that Rhaegar was 'sleeping' at this time.
That's right, as for Rhaeggar's body lying motionless on the bed, Coulson thinks that Rhaegar is sleeping in broad daylight. Not only him, but even Fitz, Simmons, and Skye, who came over to watch the excitement, thought so. Someone behind Skye, on the other hand, was in a cold sweat — if he had sweat glands. He only thought about sticking to Skye and following the other team members to see if he had any chance of accessing the xenomorph energy he needed, but he didn't think that Regamalik's motionless corpse would cause him trouble during his possession of Skye.
After the team returned to Bus that day, Rhaegar hurried to find an opportunity to return to Malik's body. Thanks to his timely return, he was 'pushed awake' almost the next moment, and then trained by Coulson for a full ten minutes. He used his physical discomfort to push, but Coulson, who was furious, did not leave him a step, and directly asked Simmons, a part-time doctor, to examine him.
This can catch Rhaegar off guard. And just when he was worried that the lie was going to be exposed, he didn't know if it was a coincidence caused by the hunger and thirst that had not yet recovered, or if he really had any special effect on the corpse when he possessed Malik's corpse - the latter was more likely, and the final test results given by Simmons at this time were indeed 'weaker' than the physical examination report Simmons gave him after the fight with Ward that day, and the strange thing is that the results of the current examination are the same as the results of the last physical test when Regamalik was still alive!
Before, Rhaegar felt something unspeakably strange. Now that Simmons said it, he figured it out. In addition to the factors of consciousness and skill, only considering the physical hard qualities, such as strength, speed, reflexes, and the ability to resist hits, if the last strength of Regamalik when he was alive is taken as the base 1, then the change in Regamalik's strength in these states is about '1:1.3:1:1' Of course, this is only a rough enough estimate to be more approximate, but it is already telling. Rhaegar needs to further test a new conjecture.
Only until then, he still needs to worry about other things, such as this time he almost fell exposed. Although he narrowly escaped in the end, Coulson reluctantly accepted his excuse of being "unwell" after getting the test results from Simmons, but it was obviously not an excuse that could be used for much, and he was not so lucky every time he encountered an identity crisis. Before he could gain the trust of Coulson and the others, and could not solve the problem of 'placement' of Malik's body in the time he left his body, he could only temporarily give up sticking to Skye and follow them out on the field.
Through this setback, which was not a setback, Rhaegar also figured out one thing. Traveling into this new world, trying to play as a single-player game won't work, and going it alone for the sake of total neutrality won't last long. At some point or for a certain period of time, he always has to take refuge in one side and act in his shoes.
Of course, there are exceptions. Unless Rhaegar has the strength to make other forces fearful. At that point, he can talk about neutrality. And for now, Rhaegar is as far away as Uranus from the Sun.
On a smaller level, as a subordinate, it's not wise to compete with your boss. Rhaegar decided that no matter which side Coulson was on, he would first stand on Coulson's side and establish himself in the squad.
So in the next few days, he first cooperated with the learning of bus driving operations, and at the same time used teasing puppy tetanus as a breakthrough point to build a good relationship with Skye, Fitz and Simmons, three relatively wary young people, while showing a positive attitude to Coulson, he also took the opportunity to communicate with Skye, Fitz and Simmons to give some hints on tracking down the Blade Warrior and dealing with vampires.
In fact, it is not an important hint, for example, when researching the origin of the Blade Warrior, Skye has been focusing the search scope on the archives of recent decades, and the straight knife Rhaegar accidentally mentioned that the age of the vampire is hundreds or even hundreds of years old, and she suddenly realized, changed the search criteria, and finally found out the background of the Blade Warrior, laying the foundation for finally using the psychological interference method to mention the mother of the Blade Warrior who died of childbirth to stimulate him and finally defeat him; For example, when Fitz and Simmons were preparing to equip the three main forces of Coulson, May, and Ward with ultraviolet magazines, Rhaegar mentioned that the Blade Warriors were half-human, half-vampires and might not be afraid of daylight, prompting Fitz and Simmons to immediately think of new countermeasures. Later, when it was discovered that the Blade Warriors were really not afraid of the sun's ultraviolet rays, the two science babies were still scared one by one, saying that they almost cheated Coulson or something.
In the end, with the help of these two humble people, the Special Ops team succeeded in destroying the largest group of vampires in the United States, while also capturing the Blades. But it's not over yet, because the team has one last question to face - what to do with them?
