Coulson was standing at the door of Nick Fury's office in confusion, and he watched as everyone who came to the intersection turned right.

Natasha walked out of Nick's office and Coulson stopped her and asked, "What's going on?" Why did they take a long detour? I remember the closest road to the elevator should be to turn left? ”

"Because our genius psychiatrist is in the office on the left, waiting for someone to go to counseling."

"You actually invited him here, how much did he offer? It can't be $100 million an hour, right? ”

"Not really, Nick's statement says $50 million an hour."

Coulson gasped and said, "In other words, if I go to him for counseling now, it will be equivalent to making $50 million for nothing?" ”

"You can understand it that way, too."

"There should be a lot of people lined up there, can I still get in line today?"

"On the contrary, there is no one there." Natasha said with a shrug.

With that, she also turned right and left, and Coulson shouted, "You're wrong!" It's an emergency passage over there! The elevator is on the left! ”

Natasha didn't look back and said, "I want to exercise!" You know, for health! ”

Coulson was even more confused, and immediately after, Nick walked out of his office, and Coulson greeted him, "Good morning, Director." ”

Nick nodded to him, and then said, "Recently, Natasha has withdrawn from the Stark Group matter, and she will also follow up on the case related to the Hand, you mainly keep an eye on the kid who will swing around, so that he doesn't make a mess." ”

Coulson replied yes, and then he noticed that Nick had also turned around and was about to turn right, he grabbed his boss and said, "Director, the elevator is over there, you go to the right, at least 5 minutes longer." ”

"I've been working out lately and I'm going to take the stairs."

Coulson was full of question marks, he muttered alone and walked directly to the left, saw that the door of Schiller's office was not closed, he knocked on the door and walked in, Schiller was writing with his head down, and when he saw someone coming in, he looked up in surprise and said, "There are really people coming ......"

Coulson was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't it open now?" I remember when I had a meeting in the morning, I said that the counseling started this morning. ”

"Open the door, of course! Please come in, you are still the first! Schiller stood up with the pen and deliberately pulled out a stool for Coulson, and this enthusiasm made Coulson a little confused, and Schiller said, "Of course, you may be the only one." ”

"I don't understand, $50 million an hour of psychological counseling can be done for free, and there is reimbursement from the bureau, why don't they come?"

"Probably because I offered $50 million, and Nick agreed......"

"What's wrong with this, doesn't this mean that the director is very sure of your level?"

"Hmm...... Aside from his macro understanding of the economics of funding and the flexible use of reimbursement in the institutional framework, have you ever thought that maybe it was his affirmation of me that kept no one here? ”

"You mean to say that they think your level is too high?"

Schiller was speechless and said, "Are you really a Level 8 agent?" How many levels is Natasha? The max level can't be level 100, right? ”

"What agent would like to find a great counselor and see all the secrets in their hearts?"

"I thought it was just some simple emotional conditioning, like releasing anxiety or something."

"Then you can go to the door and smoke a cigarette."

"That's not going to work, the damn smoke alarms here are too sensitive." Coulson said.

"Okay, do you want to come here to relieve some depression?"

"Actually, it's not.,It's because I think the captain and you seem to have a good relationship.,I want him to sign my whole set of fandom foils.,Can you help me ask him?"

Schiller spread his hands and said, "Well, I know, but who's making me make this money, if that really relieves your anxiety." Give me the card, I promise that he will not lose a single sign, and it will be worthy of my $50 million an hour's consultation fee. ”

After Coulson left, Schiller was leisurely drinking coffee in his makeshift office, but before he could finish touching the fish for the morning, he had just opened the door to breathe, when suddenly a sharp alarm came, a small device on his head glowed red, and then began to desperately call the police.

Schiller was startled, but his spider sense did not react at all, for safety, he was ready to flash at any time, but with a sharp chirp, the fire shower was directly turned on, and the sprinkler instantly sprayed a large amount of water mist.

Coulson and a couple of agents ran over and looked up at the smoke alarm, then at Schiller, who was holding a coffee cup and staring at them.

"No smoking here."

"I didn't smoke."

Coulson showed a skeptical expression and said, "Natasha had the same expression as you when she was caught, did you throw the cigarette down the sewer pipe of the sink?" ”

"Of course not, I don't smoke indoors."

Coulson didn't really smell any smoke, he looked up at the smoke alarm that had been screaming, and said, "Okay, looks like this damn thing is broken again." ”

"How the hell do you make a smoke alarm make a noise of hundreds of decibels?"

"If you have 32 fires in your house a month, you'll understand."

The symbiote said in Schiller's head, "I'm a little dizzy, and I want to throw up, let's go." ”

Schiller said: "It seems that today's counseling will end here, less than an hour will be counted as an hour, don't forget to let Nick settle the bill, I'll go first." ”

Schiller left decisively, because he knew that it was not an accident, and that someone didn't want him to stay there any longer, after all, every time he went downstairs, he had to take a 5-minute detour, which was still very time-consuming.

Human beings are always like this, when they don't have mind reading, they always fantasize that someone can understand them and understand their thoughts, but when a person really has the ability to read minds, everyone avoids it.

Of course, this is in S.H.I.E.L.D., and it's more likely because of Nick Fury's eclectic talent management system.

After returning to the clinic, Schiller, who had not slept for dozens of hours, planned to take a nap, and the symbiote played him a very hypnotic music, which made him fall asleep quickly, but before he could fall into a deep sleep, he was woken up by a phone call.

"What? …… So what's the use of you looking for me? Go find Pepper. ”

"She's busy? Am I not busy? Okay, I'm not busy, but you don't want me to go into the lab again, I really don't want to screw the light bulb anymore. “

"Yes, yes, I know you're a great armor across the ages, not a light bulb, can you get down to business?"

"Jarvis found something unusual in the parts storage? The wrong number of parts? Are you sure you didn't count wrong? Well, I know...... I know you're strict, but how can I help with that? I can't conjure up a few parts for you out of thin air, no, magic can't do it......"

“…… It's hard for me to say. Schiller paced in the clinic's living room, "Perhaps you should ask Jarvis what he guessed he was now. ”

"Jarvis is a little stumbling? Don't you know the answer? Or do you actually think of the object of suspicion, but you just don't want to admit it......"

"No, of course my mind-reading skills can't be used for this kind of thing, no kidding...... I can tell you that there's an 80% chance that the object you've in mind ......"

After hanging up the phone, Schiller grabbed Pikachu, rubbed his cheek and said, "It's hard to say that a strong steel fortress is always the first to be breached from the inside." ”

"What's the trouble with that hard-wearing guy?" Pikachu asked.

"It seems that his armor has lost something, and his intelligent butler has given an answer to a suspect he doesn't want to hear, and now he's doubting his life."

"You humans always like to add to your own troubles." Pikachu concluded, "That kid named Parker, he would be worried about killing the hostages in it when he was playing the game, it was just a game, even if the hostages died, but the kidnappers were wiped out, wouldn't it be considered us to win?" ”

"So you're going to rush over and beat the hostages to death first?"

"Otherwise, that kid is always grinding, what can I do? You dwell on too many meaningless things, always put yourself too deeply, full of unnecessary worries about things that have not yet happened, but always run away from what has happened. ”

"I really didn't expect you, as a mouse, to be able to say such incisive words."

"Of course, I'm the great detective Pikachu."

In the Stark Building, all the lights in Stark Labs were extinguished, except for some of the instruments that flickered faintly, like stars.

Stark leaned against the bench and sat on the floor, next to him a symbol bouncing on his phone, indicating that Jarvis was there.

"I'm trying to comfort you, sir."

"So you turned off the lights?" Stark's voice was a little hoarse, and he was tired from staying up too late.

"It might put you at ease, and the dim lighting helps to relax the brain." Jarvis said.

Stark closed his eyes, he changed to a more relaxed position, leaning back on the bench, he curled up one leg, then put his arm on it, raised his head, and said as if in a dream, "...... Maybe that's retribution. ”

"The Stark Group's weapons have displaced countless people, so the people I once trusted will leave me one by one......"

"We can't be sure that Mr. Obadiah is the murderer yet." "In the analysis, he's only about 96 percent likely," Jarvis said. ”

"You can be more blunt." Stark said.

"Sorry, I mean there's a 4% chance it wasn't him."

"Who might be the rest?"

Mr. Schiller is 2 percent, Mr. Parker is 1.2 percent, and you yourself are 0.8 percent. ”

"Schiller? You're counting on someone who can't even tell the difference between 1 to 10 numbered mech parts to steal the most important core? And Peter, that kid is a little silly, but he doesn't steal, he's a silly kid who is shocked for a long time when he sees me smoking. ”

"I'm trying to comfort you." Jarvis said.

Eventually, Stark felt all the sounds of the world grow quieter, and he remembered Howard's face half-asleep and half-awake.

At that time, Uncle Obadiah stood with his father, and they were both very young.
