Chapter 1378: The Call of the Stars (4)

"Seriously, how long has it been since you've taken a shower?" On the Colorado highway, Star-Lord Quayle looked at the raccoon in the co-pilot with open eyebrows, he shrugged his nose vigorously, and said with disgust: "I feel that your body is a little fermented, a strange smell." ”

"It's worse than that, maybe I just got drunk in the bar last night and got vomited."

"Gross! Damn, get out of the car, I'm going to go to the lake next door and give you a good dip! Quill stepped on the gas pedal and almost slapped the unbelted raccoon into the windshield, but even if it didn't actually fly, the rocket raccoon's head hit the car.

"Oh my God!" Rocket Raccoon cursed in a whisper in a language Star-Lord didn't understand, and then said, "I lied to you, I'm a raccoon, and raccoons love to be clean, don't you know?" ”

"No, you have to get out of the car, I have to check your hygiene to make sure you don't have an infectious disease or something...... Oh my God, is there any such thing as a wildlife inspection and quarantine law here? Come and help me. Without saying a word, Quill got out of the car, and he followed the front of the car, trying to go around to the co-pilot, but the Rocket Raccoon jumped into the driver's seat with his hands and feet, jumped under the seat, and stepped on the accelerator hard, and the car

"Whoosh" and rushed out.

"Hey, my car! Wait, don't run, you damn raccoon! A few minutes later, Star-Lord Quayle was holding on to the front hood of the car, and Rocket Raccoon sat in the driver's seat and plucked his ears and said, "Who do you say are the uninspected wild animals?" ”

"Count you ruthless!" Quill gave Rocket Raccoon a middle finger, opened the driver's door, threw the raccoon into the passenger seat, sat back down, and said, "Don't make a fuss, we need to get to the NASA base in Colorado before dark, Lisa is still waiting for us." As soon as he closed the car door, Quill wrinkled his nose again and said, "Hygiene is good for people and wild animals, and I'll ask them to find a place to bathe you." There was actually a hint of concern in his tone, which made Rocket Raccoon twist his head a little awkwardly, and he realized.

Star-Lord Peter Quayle is actually the kind of good guy who is very common with a knife mouth and a tofu heart, who seems to be grinning, cynical, and a little stupid, but can always inadvertently express his concern for others, without making others feel panic and embarrassment.

Holding his two little paws, the Rocket Raccoon looked at the endless road in front of the car and said, "I have a hunch, you can understand it as the intuition of the beast, I'm afraid this thing is not so simple, are you really ready?" Quill tightened his grip on the steering wheel, but he still pretended not to care and said, "I've been in the interstellar society for so many years, what dangers haven't I seen?" Did I tell you? This notorious interstellar pirate leader Yongdu can actually be regarded as my adoptive father and master. Rocket Raccoon's eyes widened, and he stared at Quill and said, "Oh my God, do you know that he chased me up and down for the last few months, but don't tell me there's your share here!" ”

"Of course not, I've been working alone a long time ago, Yongdu's temper is extremely short-tempered, except for scolding and beating, only when I'm drunk will stop a little, I can't stand him a little, so after I become an adult, I won't follow the team of marauders."

"I dare say. It's the best decision you've ever made. Rocket Raccoon sighed and said: "The interstellar situation is going to be reshuffled, Asgard wants to enter the game and show his sincerity in maintaining interstellar security, he always needs to set a target, who do you think is the most suitable?" ”

"I don't care if the marauders die or not." Quill shook his head and said, "But I'm well aware. Yongdu can't die, except for his first-class ability to save his life, who do you think he was doing for before? Without a little backing, how could the Marauder team survive so long? The raccoon kept chatting, occasionally revealing some of his views on the interstellar society, and in this way, the car quickly drove to NASA's space base in Colorado.

Lisa is a very common strong woman with a successful career, she is not only an employee of NASA, but she was already a commander even before Quill left Earth.

Goodbye to this lady, Quill had mixed feelings, and he was happy that Lisa was quite well maintained, which showed that her life should have been smooth sailing in recent years, and what made him feel a little sad was that judging from the name of Lisa, she should be married, even have children, and her face has aged a lot.

Quill and Lisa hugged each other, and Lisa looked at Quill with red eyes and said, "Great, Peter, you're still alive, after that incident, I thought you'd be dead." ”

"I'm really sorry, Lisa, I shouldn't have been so impulsive in the first place, my young ignorance made you pay for me, but fortunately there is still a chance to make amends, I heard that you are in some trouble, I think I can definitely help."

"Don't say it, Peter, I never blame you, but I've had some trouble, and it would be nice if you could help me." The two came to the office while talking about the old days, and the Rocket Raccoon pretended to be Quill's pet and did not speak along the way, but Lisa still instinctively saw the difference in his eyes, and after entering the office, he put his eyes on the face of the Rocket Raccoon.

"Your friend?" Lisa asked, looking at the raccoon.

"Sort of." Quill nodded slightly, he sat down in the chair, put his hands in front of him, and said: "It is also due to my original impulse, I have been wandering in the interstellar society for a long time, but I didn't expect that after I came back, the earth has changed so much, and human beings have begun to explore the interstellar society." With that, Quill looked up at the office, where there were too many strange objects that he had never seen before in his time.

Lisa lowered her head and said, "When you had an argument with Mandello, I knew it wasn't your fault, but the director of the airborne bureau didn't want me to get involved in this matter too much, and I couldn't change the fate of your dismissal." ”

"And you impulsively drove away from the Kree spaceship and sailed into the depths of the stars, I can't imagine what kind of danger you went through to finally return here, but I have always felt guilty."

"So Peter, if it weren't for the seriousness of the situation, I would never have asked you for help."

"Of course, I know you, Lisa, if you are not too self-reliant and don't ask for anything, then the position of director of NASA is not enough to show your talent, I have always felt guilty for interfering with your career, but if the two of us are only guilty of guilt, then don't do anything." Quill pretended to be joking, and he succeeded in amusing Lisa, she shook her head and said, "I'm not so emotional in the face of other people, okay, we really have to talk about business." Lisa smiled, walked over to him and sat down, and said, "The good news is that because of the development of aerospace technology, I also have a broader career space." Lisa handed out a business card, and when Quill took it, he found that the job title was written on it

"Chief of the Accident Reports Investigation Section at NASA". Quill raised an eyebrow and said, "I don't remember that the space agency still has this section, is it newly established?" Lisa nodded and said, "Yes, the development of aerospace technology will inevitably bring more space accidents, and I am in charge of dealing with these accidents, and I have been busy with my feet on the ground, but recently, the head of NASA has added a more difficult job to this department." Lisa put her hands on the table and looked at Quill and said, "You should have heard before you left, for many years, countless UFOs have fallen on Earth, as if this is some kind of spaceship graveyard, and there are more than 40 UFO investigation reports a week that I need to deal with during the peak period." ”

"Originally, I was used to it, but lately, this thing has become more and more unusual, and I am under a lot of pressure for this, but I can't find any clue, Quill, I don't say those polite words anymore, as your friend, I have to ask for your help." Quill nodded and said, "My ability is limited, but if there is something I can help with, I will definitely do my best to help you." Lisa sighed, but Quill felt a little surprised, he had never seen such a sad face from this strong woman, and then he heard Lisa say: "Most of the UFOs that fell on Earth have been completely destroyed, and the pilot, passengers, and important parts of the spacecraft have all burned up due to the high-speed fall through the atmosphere. ”

"But over the years, in so many UFO falling accidents, there are always a few lucky people who can still save something after falling to the ground." Quill nodded, he had heard of something new found in the remains of a UFO when he was working, but most of the time those things were not used, and at that time, human technology was too backward, and the advanced alien civilization creations could only be piled up in the warehouse to ashes.

"Most of these lucky ones didn't carry any dangerous goods, and the only ones that could be dug up were the ship's parts, but that small part was terrible...... Have you ever heard of the Manchurians? Quill didn't react at all to the hasty change of subject, and Lisa didn't seem to expect him to answer, but explained to herself: "He is a notorious fugitive who has long been entrenched on the remote borders of the Eastern countries, and the reason why he has survived for so long is because of the mysterious Ten Commandments." ”

"The Ten Commandments are one of the treasures brought by an alien spaceship landing on Earth, and if they are taken away by people with bad intentions, it will bring terrible disasters."

"What do you mean......" Quill had a bad premonition.

"The head of the space bureau who fired you in the first place has long since secured his position, and unfortunately. Another UFO has crashed into the Rocky Mountains, which is quite well preserved, and the director believes that the ship may contain treasures like the Ten Rings. Lisa closed her eyes and said in a sad tone, "He thinks NASA should have full authority to investigate this UFO, and I think we should take the initiative and compete with the FBI, S.H.I.E.L.D., or some similar agency for the investigation of this spacecraft." ”

"To that end, he's sent two expeditions, but they've all been wiped out, including Captain Couch, who you once knew, Ryman Sr., and Professor Delta, who is only a few months away." Quill's eyes widened, he glared at Lisa and raised his tone to say, "How dare he?!" They are just some scientific expedition personnel, not agents, how can he send them to death?! Lisa covered her eyes and said: "I have emphasized this to him a long time ago, but I can't stop him at all, he has been blindfolded by a powerful force, he thinks that in this era when the whole people are moving towards the stars, NASA should occupy a more important position, he should also have a greater say, if no one gives it to him, then he will fight for it himself." ”

"But he's doing something stupid, so stupid!" Quill gritted his teeth and cursed, then he looked at Lisa and said, "Do you want me to investigate that ship?" ”

"No, on the contrary, I'm against anyone investigating that ship, my vast professional experience is telling me that there are no treasures on it, only endless dangers, so. I hope you'll stop anyone who wants to investigate it, especially our colleagues, and don't send them to their deaths again. Lisa looked into Quill's eyes and said, "I will send you to the forward base of the spaceship crash investigation in the name of an official name, but what you have to do is not to approach the ship, but to stop the people sent by the subsequent director, and use any method, even if it is to kidnap them." Quill also looked Lisa in the eye and said, "I understand your kindness, Lisa, but you should know that this is not the solution to the problem." ”

"The solution to the problem should not be given by us." Lisa's eyes were full of meaning, she looked at Quill and said, "This matter should be in the hands of S.H.I.E.L.D., do you understand what I mean?" The light outside the window dimmed, the reflection of the Hudson River shone into the room through the light gauze curtains, and the hand holding the quill finished writing another paragraph, and the light outside the window fell on the end of the last ink stroke, like a glimmer of light from a door that had just opened a crack.

"I understood what Lisa meant, and of course, in my short career, I had dealt with agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and I knew exactly which part of the world they were responsible for security - the part that ordinary people, that I would never have access to at that time, the part of the extremely cold iceberg buried deep beneath the surface. There must be something in that ship. I was so sure because I saw unspeakable fear in Lisa, in the eyes of this lady who carved strength in every wrinkle. ”
