Chapter 033: An Awkward Atmosphere
With Coulson at the beginning, and having finished the hardest part, the rest is much easier.
"The death knell has already come? How do you know? Skye 'consciously' skipped the didactic part of Coulson's words and asked directly what he wanted to know.
Coulson didn't respond immediately, but looked at the other team members with interest, which was not without a sense of sophistication. His understanding of the other people in the special operations team except for Mei Yu is still only based on the written information obtained from Hydra, plus the results of getting along for more than a month, it is still not comprehensive. And not too much of his surprise, neither Ward nor Fitz nor Simmons came up with it for a while. Skye, who asked the question, seemed to have a sense after glancing around, and then there was Regamalik, who had been low-key in Hydra for more than a decade, and had recently suddenly raised his profile for a while but regained his low profile. For Coulson, nearly two months later, he still can't figure out who Rhaegar is.
But from Rhaeggar's point of view, things are much easier to understand. Compared with Regamalik, who was once cheated by his high-ranking uncle and did not make a sound and quietly devoted himself to the cause of Hydra, the guy who occupied his body can be regarded as rich in social experience due to professional reasons before his crossing, and he quickly analyzed the reason why Knell had already come by observing Coulson's movements and some very inconspicuous details from several murder scenes.
"We haven't had a lot of cross-examinations along the way, right? This is naturally no problem in a normal situation, after all, there is the identity of Coulson's eighth-level agent. However, according to Coulson, it is clearly determined that we are supporting roles, and with the strength of those people in the law enforcement team, if the ordinary Hydra agents guarding the scene were not approved, they would definitely not let us destroy the scene of the law enforcement team members so easily. So, the death knell should have come. Under the watchful eyes of Coulson and other teammates, Rhaegar said, "Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there are other special reasons, such as Coulson's popularity and infectious power are too good and strong, and the agents he meets trust him very much and are willing to sell him a face." However, this is the case for several people, and I can only rule out such exceptions. ”
After listening to Rhaeggar's analysis, Fitz, Simmons, and Ward all suddenly realized. Mei still looked cold, and she didn't know what she was thinking. Coulson, however, looked at Rhaegar with some surprise, and chuckled.
"Looks like you have the potential to be a leader, Rhaegar. Even I can't think of what you're talking about. With that, Coulson looked at Skye again, "What about you?" You seem to have something in mind, too. ”
Skye's face was a little strange.
"My thoughts are still just ideas, well, similar to Rhaegar's, except that they haven't been completely straightened out yet, and they haven't been said systematically."
In fact, it was not only Skye's face, but the atmosphere was also a little strange at this time. Rhaegar and Skye stood at the southernmost point of the line and the other north-west, which was almost the farthest distance between the two of them, except that they did not face each other completely. This is not just the case at this moment, but it has been the case in recent days.
Regarding the strange atmosphere between the two, Coulson, the captain, naturally paid attention to it. Originally, he didn't really want to ask his subordinates about such things, but now seemed to be the right time to knock on the side. But before he could speak, the entire team—including his own—was distracted.
"Agent Coulson, Death Knell asks you and your squad to go to the Gotham Theater immediately." A regular agent trotted over to Coulson.
No matter how accustomed they were to obeying orders, Ward, Fitz, and Simmons were a little unhappy. 'Demand' is a very emotional word, and Knell actually uses it on Coulson. This is where the team members are most unhappy. In addition, the death knell himself did not appear all the way, and only sent a small soldier to make a direct request, but they bumped several places and never stopped, so it is natural to have a little temper.
But Coulson stopped their outburst. Well, it's Skye who is the main one who stops it. Had it not been for him standing in his way, Skye would have lodged a solemn protest with the ordinary agent.
"Why the Gotham Theatre?" Coulson was not polite, and asked directly at the agent.
It's still afternoon, and most theaters are open at night, so Coulson asked. Of course, he also expressed his dissatisfaction in his tone. In this way, that ordinary Hydra agent can be described as a big Yali Mountain.
It's weird.
"Sir, I'm just in charge of relaying what I've heard." The ordinary agent acted calmly, casually wiping his fist as he spoke, "I don't know why Death Knell commanded that, but as far as I know, there's a fight going on over there. ”
Hearing this, Coulson immediately looked at Skye. The latter consciously took out his mobile phone and checked it. After about half a minute, Skye looked up.
"I've found the Gotham Theatre. I couldn't see what was going on inside, but I hacked into the traffic cameras over there and found that the Gotham police seemed to be cordoning off the area over there. ”
The news was confirmed, and Coulson did not hesitate to beckon the team to walk towards the SUV painted with the logo of the six-clawed skull of the Hydra, ready to leave for the Gotham Grand Theater. Everyone knew that time was urgent, and hurried to follow Coulson and hurry forward - except for someone.
"Sir, I suddenly remembered that we all came out this time, don't we have to leave one of us to watch the Bus?" Instead of getting into the car like the rest of his teammates, Rhaegar stood outside the car and said to Coulson, "Although it is unlikely that someone will suddenly attack the suburban tarmac where the bus is located, I don't think I can go back and guard it." ”
Rhaegar chose this time to make such an application, which surprised Coulson and worried a little. He first casually made eye contact with May, then glanced at Skye, and then said to Rhaegar, "Are you sure this is your original intention?" If you're trying to avoid someone......"
Recoulding what Coulson meant, the others looked at Skye, who looked at Rhaegar innocently, with a hint of resentment in his eyes.
Rhaegar hurriedly waved his hand: "It's not for this reason, I promise." At this point, he hesitated for a moment, then continued firmly, "Although there are some communication problems between Skye and me, I have also been an agent for more than ten years, and I will not let these problems interfere with my work. In fact, although we don't know exactly what the situation is on the side of the Grand Theater, I think that with the arrogant character shown by Deathbell, he needs us to go to the Grand Theater, and the battle situation there must be very unsatisfactory. And we came out this time for the purpose of surveying the scene to collect intelligence and clues, and we didn't bring many weapons or props suitable for fighting. And if I get back to the bus, I can keep in touch with you, deliver what you need, and drive the bus in to pick you up if necessary. I think it's a viable strategy. ”
I have to say that there is some truth in Rhaeggar's reasoning. Coulson only considered it for a moment, and then approved Rhaegar's application. So, after watching Coulson's SUV leave, Rhaegar also took a car from the regular agents on the scene and left there as well.
