Chapter 46: Bell, Bell
(Click, collection, recommendation, dissemination, all kinds of support (^_^))
The entire lab/cell fell silent again, and it seems that Rena is not very impressed with Grant's "wit".
At this time, the electronic ringtone of "bell" sounded in the laboratory, and the white coats who had been ignoring the conversation between the two and were working on their own next to them were finally about to get off work. A minute was gone, and the gang was gone.
These guys aren't going to protest in this way.
Grant suddenly had this thought, and the more he thought about it, the more he thought it was possible. And when he looked at Rena, he found that the other party had just withdrawn his eyes from the direction of the door. Raina didn't react much, but spoke to him, "It's time for me to leave, too." I hope to get your answer in the affirmative tomorrow, otherwise I don't think we can see each other again. ”
"So that's an ultimatum? The good guy who has been acting for most of the day is now gestalt revealed? ”
"You're thinking about me wrong." In response to Grant's accusation, Rena once again showed a regretful expression, "I don't belong here after all, and I will leave after tomorrow." And you...... I'm not sure how long you'll be able to hold out under their men with the attitude you have now, and they're not as gentle as I am. ”
Grant didn't respond to this, but sat up straight and looked Raina in the eyes. And Rena made eye contact with him. It took about twenty seconds for Rena to break the deadlock.
"Well, I was wrong. They have the means to stop you from dying. Without the last drop of blood from you, they don't think they will let that day come. That said, the chances of us meeting again are quite high. To be honest, I wasn't expecting it at all. So I still hope to hear good news from you tomorrow. Have a nice evening. ”
After saying that, before Grant could say anything, Rena turned and left.
The "bell" rang again, and Grant subconsciously looked at the computer screen that was still on, and it was indeed the same line of words that had appeared in the previous few days.
"Consciously wear a cuff (the kind that refers to blood pressure), otherwise you will be subjected to clicks."
Remembering what happened on the first day, remembering the pain, Grant did it wisely. Then, he could only lie on the operating table, staring at the uneven ceiling in a daze.
It stands to reason that being idle is also idle, and you should do something meaningful, so it is better to concentrate on studying the abilities in your body. It's just that now that there is no one in the room, it doesn't mean that your actions can be hidden. There are cameras in the corners of the ceiling, and the ones outside the cage that are mounted on the ground and shine diagonally upward. Judging from the arrangement, it is almost 360 degrees without dead ends. As soon as the blue light appeared on the main Grant's body, the guy who was hiding in the corner watching him would press the button, and the death-threatening electric shock meal would be delivered immediately.
In addition to the camera, Grant suspects that there are other means of surveillance in this room. Maybe it's the two cuffs that are on his arms, one on the left and the other on the right, or maybe it's some prop that can recognize energy fluctuations and cover a large enough area.
In fact, none of these are the root causes. Rena's previous statement that he had been injected with some kind of potion made his ability mobilization difficult and slow, and that was true for the first three days he had been here. And from day one, that feeling of being weakened became more and more apparent. It wasn't until the fourth day that Rena's words were incorrect. It's not a weakening, it's more like an elimination - now Grant can't feel the existence of energy in his body!
Life is really full of drama!
Thinking a little bit open-mindedly and freely, what you didn't have in the first place was accidentally obtained, and now it's not a big deal to lose it, right?
Of course not.
Energy comes from nothing and then to nothing, but the original life is gone forever. He used to be a Level 5 agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Although it is not said that the future is bright, and even this profession is still a little dangerous, but it is a job. There is a salary and a perk, and it can also stimulate adventures and see the world that ordinary people can't see. In S.H.I.E.L.D., he still has so many friends that he can talk to, and he can't ask for more in this kind of life.
What now? Nothing!
Work, no more. Interpersonal relationships are almost betrayal. I'm still stuck here by a goddamn unknown organization, waiting to be disemboweled. That's the big ups and downs. From an excellent agent, he suddenly became a superpower, and then depreciated into a wanted criminal, a prisoner, and a guinea pig......
Although I didn't pay much attention to it at first, I realized that I had relied on that energy to this extent now. The only thing that can be done is that this elimination is only temporary and not permanent, maybe you don't get injected with that injection in the future, and then the energy will reappear.
Well, there's really no point in thinking about that. As a guinea pig about to be dissected, Grant couldn't think of a day when he wouldn't be injected unless he was already hanging. Rather than hoping - or should I say extravagant, we should think about something else. Like what...... The problem of S.H.I.E.L.D. being infiltrated?
In fact, what Rena said revealed a lot of information, the existence of spies within S.H.I.E.L.D. is only one aspect, and the "he" who has extraordinary charm and can make Rena extremely admired, as well as the "they" under "him", and Rena's attitude towards "them" is a little ambiguous. On this last point, Grant wasn't sure if it was a deliberate use by Rena to soften him, so he didn't think about it for now. As for "him", Grant knew too little to start. So, we have to start with "them".
There is no doubt that "they" have a huge force, which includes human, financial, scientific research capabilities, etc. As it stands, "they" are top notch in these aspects, at least on par with S.H.I.E.L.D. So the question arises - how did they silently invade and infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D.? You know, S.H.I.E.L.D. is the world's largest intelligence agency. How could such a huge force not move at all?
Then Grant realized that he was worrying about it for nothing. Not to mention that he's no longer part of S.H.I.E.L.D., and he doesn't know if he'll ever get out of here alive. For now, it appears that he has been sentenced to death.
Well, Grant really doesn't know what he can do or think. I've slept enough, or even slept too much, and being in a daze is the only option.
"Bell ......"
Suddenly, the electronic bell rang again - so soon was it time for the white coats to start work the next morning? Even if you are in a daze, time has not passed so quickly and so exaggerated, right? Grant feels like it's only been a while!
But...... I didn't see the white coats. If those guys were really protesting silently, they would definitely not dare to disobey "them". And if the white coats weren't protesting, they wouldn't be working on time. In other words, what does the electronic ringtone mean this time?
Wouldn't it be an extra meal for the shock service? Grant doesn't want this kind of late-night snack.
Looking around in disbelief, Grant finally realized what the problem was.
The computer with two cuffs attached to it that monitored his physiology, the electrocardiogram and everything on the screen were gone, replaced by a black background and lines of code on it. In addition, there is a pinned dialog with a paragraph written on it.
"Hacked, the shock system has been turned off. Grant, I'm Skye. ”
(PS: When I first saw the fourth episode of the first season of "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.", I thought it was a spoof from the crew, just like the shanxi_province Copper Mine that followed.) It turned out to be a spoof, but it wasn't a completely meaningless spoof - it was an abbreviation for CCTV, closed_circuit_television, I was too unheard...... )
