Chapter 59: Marginal Figures

(Click, collection, recommendation, attention, dissemination, all kinds of support (^_^))

"The previous topic?"

"Yes, on behalf of my companions, I invite you to join our organization."

Grant thought that the other party was just talking casually before, but it didn't seem to be.

"Do you know me? Do you know my experience? Looking at Nadimu, Grant teased, "Are you sure my joining is good for your organization?" Aren't you afraid to lure the wolf into the house? ”

As a result, Nadim just smiled indifferently.

"That's not a problem with what you're saying." "It's a bit of a mistake to say it's an organization," he said. We don't have too many rules, and we don't have too many restrictions. Each member has their own past, and they have their own secrets. If our peers don't take the initiative to ask, we usually don't ask. In fact, with the exception of our annual regular gatherings, we may not see each other in person for dozens of months in a row. Of course, video calls are not counted. ”

Grant was completely stunned.

Looking at S.H.I.E.L.D., everything is recorded, no matter how big or small. I don't care who I know, who I have befriended, what kind of circle I live in, what special experiences I have had, and even whether I walk with my left foot or my right foot, when and who I have had my first sexual experience. In addition, it is necessary to push up one or two generations, and pay attention to the family composition.

After the research has passed, it is necessary to evaluate the future and conduct a comprehensive analysis of the agent in terms of ability and personality. In this case, there is no secret at all.

And then there are rules, agreements. You are of this rank, you must be like this, you can't be that way; When you meet a superior agent, you have to go around in circles and be assigned to high-level tasks, and you can only fork and fork. In addition to this, there is XYz...... This is S.H.I.E.L.D.

Using S.H.I.E.L.D. as a comparison is a bit unfair to S.H.I.E.L.D. The way Nadim said about the organization and the way the members get along is not even as close as the kindergarten friends.

As Grant said, "What kind of organization is this!" ”

"I can't talk about groups, teams, etc., I can only use 'organization'." Saying this, Nadim's face did not mean to be ashamed, but rather proud, "Our members usually do their own things, and everyone has their own life and another identity. For example, I am a governess in the normal world. Can't see it? I knew it, haha. But when the time comes, that is, when we find that someone is trying to undermine the stability and peace in the jurisdiction, we will temporarily let go of what we are doing and deal with it in various ways. For example, collecting relevant information or handing over criminal evidence to the relevant government. The government department, or looking for an opportunity to sabotage the actions of the mastermind behind the scenes, can also openly attract accusations from public opinion, and so on. Sometimes we can't solve a problem alone, so we will communicate and even initiate a convocation. Of course, there are many situations such as war, and even we have no way to do it. But as long as we find out, we do what we can to deal with it. If we can't stop the war, we will help the refugees who have been implicated. It's been a few years and it feels pretty good. ”

"Sounds pretty good."

It guarantees both freedom and great goals. In contrast, S.H.I.E.L.D. can do more, but at the same time, it is also vulnerable to politics. Constraints of governance. If it's really like Nadim said, this is a part-time job. Grant finally thought about it seriously. Then, one thing came to his mind: "Are all the members of this organization like you?" I mean, well, superpowers. ”

Nadimu nodded: "Although there is no mandatory condition that the person who joins must be the superpowered human you said, we currently all have superpowers, this is true." ”

"Aren't you afraid that someone will sneak in as an internal response, and then wipe you out? I'm sure there are a lot of people who will be interested in your abilities. An organization like the one I worked for before, they'd be happy to study your abilities, even your body, if you have the chance. Grant said, "Also, I've encountered demons who have done human experiments on superpowered humans before. An organization full of superpowered humans is not as simple as an ordinary temptation. I bet someone would be willing to trade an entire army for you. ”

Grant's words were a temptation. If Nadimu had a grudge, then Grant might as well go it alone and be a lone ranger; If the other party hears this and still wants to recruit himself regardless of it, but can't say a reliable reason, then it proves that there is a conspiracy that he can't see through, and he should be careful.

It's just that Grant didn't expect the other party to laugh.

"Hahaha, how many do you think we have?" Nadim could barely stand up straight, laughing so hard that he couldn't speak, "You might as well guess." ”

Since Nadim would smile like this, there must not be many of them. After thinking for a moment, Grant gave the answer: "I guess about fifty." No? That's thirty. Uh, fifteen? Ten? ”

"Why don't you try 'Five'?"

"Oh buy ......" There are only five people in this organization?! This news stunned Grant all of a sudden: "I remember you said that this is a global organization!" ”

"Yes, it's global, right." Nadim said calmly, "Mutombo and Theron are in charge of Africa, Hawke is in charge of Europe, and I am the only one in Asia for the time being." There are also the founders of the organization. He was also in charge of Asia, but his body has had problems in the past few years, so that's it. ”

"Not to mention Antarctica, but what about North America? What about South America? And Oceania! ”

"Oceania has been relatively stable recently, and it is not urgent for the time being. As for North and South America -- when you join, you're the head of the Americas. ”

Grant's face was expressionless: "So you mean, there are really five people in your 'global organization', and there is no one under you, and one or two people are in charge of a continent." ”

Seeing Grant like this, Nadimu stopped smiling.

"You're right, we don't have any men. Over the years, we have relied on ourselves and our connections. In the past few years, we have not been able to do much to achieve much, but we are all very satisfied. He glanced at Grant, who couldn't hear joy or sorrow in his Arabic accent English, "Actually, none of us have any superpowers, especially when it comes to combat. For ordinary people, we are 'non-human', and we dare not expose ourselves at all, otherwise we will attract discrimination from all sides, and may even lead to the destruction of all achievements and all interpersonal relationships. And for some of our kind, we are too weak to be with them. We're like people on the fringes in between. At the same time, he was ostracized by both sides, but he tried to implement both identities well. As ordinary people, we work diligently. As superpowered humans, we use our abilities to maintain regional stability and help the people at the bottom. For us, it's not a thankless task, it's not for the sublimation of personality or anything, but we should do it. That's what our organization is all about. ”

This is the legendary "loud sound"?

"I can understand why there are only five of you. I'm sure you've been rejected many times. You know, your so-called purpose is just too stupid and emotional. Ignoring the unhappy Nedimu, Grant said to himself, "I've worked for an organization that's been rational to the extreme, and well, it's not a bad thing to make an emotional decision once in a while. I joined. ”

This time, the reversal effect was really bad, and Nadim was stunned for a moment, and immediately laughed.

"Very welcome!" He slapped Grant's arm several times in excitement, then pointed at him and said, "I'll introduce you to a few others tonight." By phone, of course. They will also be happy and welcome. ”

"There's another thing I care about more than that. You both have one or two people in charge of a continent, and I want one person in charge of North and South America, do you think that's appropriate? And the point that just came to mind, do you have to solve the transportation expenses, weapons expenses and everything by yourself? ”

"More often than not, we're talking about our own money. But if there is a need for one of us, well, one of the heads of the Africa region, Theron, she can be richer than Tony Stark if she wants to...... As for your first question, that's all there is to it for now. You can reimburse Theron for your plane ticket! ”

Grant raised his fist at Nadim. The latter, after a few laughs, spoke again: "Considering that you seem to be making a big deal in the United States, I guess you will have your permanent place of residence in Mexico, right?" How are you going to start and go back tomorrow? ”

As a result, Grant shook his head: "Not Mexico. You have shown me how much energy a person can have. I'll go back to the United States, but not tomorrow. We still have a lot to deal with! ”
