Chapter 2: Divination

"So this director of S.H.I.E.L.D. is my friend, aha, it's not because I have a good relationship with you that I handed over the position of director of S.H.I.E.L.D. to you, to be honest, I still think Agent Hill is more suitable for this position, I said you two, is it okay to accept such an important position as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. in such a private way? Charles said in a flirtatious tone, yes.

Charles's words are black and black, Nick Fury chose Coulson as his successor naturally not because of Charles, but Coulson's ability is enough to deal with the problems of S.H.I.E.L.D., but Charles just said that, Coulson can't do anything, right.

"Are you going to refuse it outright if you don't want to hear what the request is? Charles, you are really a strange person, thinking that I will introduce you to some exorcism business, and at the same time you don't want to help me with my other requests at all, even if I plan to give you money to ask for help, can you tell me why you are so conflicted?"

Coulson was pleased that Charles didn't give him a cold face, but Charles's tone told him that Charles didn't want to help with anything other than exorcism.

"I don't want to be idle, but I don't want to be busy with all kinds of things every day, and I have the ability to manage everything, so this is a self-limit that I set for myself, and I don't want to break this limit. ”

For Coulson, Charles was not so-for-tat, and told Coulson that he just wanted to be lazy.

"Okay, after listening to your reason, I just want to say that when you lift this self-restriction, I will hand over the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. to you, I think you must do better than me, but for now I just hope that you will listen to my words before deciding what to do, if you don't plan to help, I will definitely leave without saying anything. ”

Coulson made a joke about the self-satisfaction in Charles's words, and then tried to convince Charles to at least listen to the reason before considering whether to refuse.

"Okay, let's talk about it, but don't get your hopes up, I can't help S.H.I.E.L.D. in anything other than exorcism. ”

Seeing that he had said it so clearly, Coulson was still going to continue, and Charles agreed with Coulson's statement.

"It's about Skye, Skye, it's your business, so it's better for you to ask, Charles, I hope you don't mind, this is something Skye has always wanted to know. Coulson then gave up his position and asked Skye, who was behind, to ask Charles questions.

"Oh, this matter is quite interesting, I believe that every director of S.H.I.E.L.D. wants to know a lot of things from me, but the things that this girl wants me to help should have nothing to do with S.H.I.E.L.D., you actually said what you just said for her, you really care about the leaders of your subordinates, okay, as long as her affairs do not violate my principles, I will definitely help." Charles looked at Skye, then said to Coulson.

Coulson and Charles have been following Charles's habits in their interactions, which makes Charles very comfortable, but this time Charles has already refused in and out of words, Coulson still insisted, in fact, destroying the tacit relationship between the two parties, but for his subordinates and not for official business, Charles's attitude towards Coulson has not deteriorated, but Charles's still does not plan to do anything other than exorcism.

"Charles, you know about Ward, you know about Claireye, and even you know about Hydra, these are all things that S.H.I.E.L.D. don't know, and the information I want to know is also something that S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't know, so I think you probably know. Skye explained nervously, then asked his own question.

"Charles, do you know who my parents are? Where are they now?"

Charles paused after listening to Skye's question, it seems that he revealed a lot of information last time because of Laura's matter, Coulson said that it was for Skye, and I am afraid that there is also a reason to understand how Charles knows so many things through this question, and it seems that the favorability can be reduced.

"Coulson, it seems that you are a little unfamiliar with the exorcism industry, or that your S.H.I.E.L.D. has been looking for me to do the business of exorcising ghosts, don't you know that exorcism is generally connected with divination, you are very lucky, I am in the field of divination, and my skills are not bad. ”

After Charles finished thinking about what happened, he opened his mouth and smiled at Coulson, and by the way, he gestured the meaning of counting the money in his hand, it was very simple, Skye's problem was within the scope of Charles's business, and he could help.

"Charles, don't tell us, you know that the Hydra thing is based on divination, and this reason is a little crazy. ”

Coulson's mouth was dry when he heard Charles's words, well, Nick Fury had already told Coulson that Charles might be a "god" thing, but "divination", isn't this kind of reason commonly used by charlatans? Most of the "divination" is the result of observing words and colors, right, do you still need to look at the constellations? God's "divination", Coulson really doesn't know whether it is true or false.

"Coulson, you are too conservative, this world already has gods, mutants, immortals, and even ghosts, one more divination, what's the big deal, it's time for you to change your own mind. ”

Charles was very pleased with Coulson's frightened reaction, and persuaded Coulson that he should believe in science, no, that anything could happen in this world.

"And what do I need from this divination?" Skye asked, uncertain.

If Charles directly said that he knew or didn't know, Skye would be acceptable in his heart, but Charles actually said that he could know the information of his parents by divination, this reason is too mysterious, could it be that the answer he was desperately looking for actually got the answer from a magic stick? What if he always feels a little disrespectful to his parents who he has never met.

"Because you don't know anything about your parents, I don't think your own date of birth is necessarily correct, so you can only drop a drop of your own blood on this crystal ball, don't worry, it's not some witchcraft, it's just a divination. ”

Charles revealed terrifying information in his mouth, did witchcraft rely on blood? Coulson was even thinking about whether S.H.I.E.L.D. would need to keep the personnel information secret if it would be collected blood or something in the future, otherwise it would be stolen by some evil god cultist and the curse would be over?

Then the two of them saw Charles remove the crystal ball from the cabinet that he had never used, but had always had, wiped the dust off it slightly, gave Skye a thin needle, and motioned with his eyes for Skye to drop a drop of blood on the crystal ball.
