Chapter 165: Within Seven Steps, Is the Gun Really Fast?

ON A S.H.I.E.L.D. plane.

Skye sat at the bar with a drawing of Osborne Industries playing on his computer.

Tonight, she and Peter Parker will cooperate with the invasion of the building to steal some important documents from inside.

In fact, after Ronan told her, she tried to use her hacking skills to hack into Osborne Industries' network and database.

It's a pity that in those computers that can be connected to the Internet, she only found some very superficial information.

For example, who is in charge of a particular study, who is in the group, and so on.

A little deeper, you won't find it in those computers.

This also shows that the company's method of preserving materials is either very old paper materials.

Either that, or the computer where the data is stored, has never been connected to the Internet.

"Skye."

Just as she was lost in thought, a voice appeared behind her.

Skye subconsciously turned off the screen of his laptop and turned his head to look behind him.

Phil Coulson was standing there.

"Phil, what's wrong?"

Skye turned.

However, Phil Coulson did not answer her question, but walked around to the bar and poured two glasses of wine.

One cup was handed to Skye, and the other was in his hand.

It could be seen that he had something to look for Skye.

"It's nothing, it just feels like you've been a little absent-minded lately."

"If you encounter something difficult, speak up and everyone can help you."

Today, Skye has integrated into this collective and has become a member of this collective.

After experiencing all kinds of distrust and all kinds of doubts, she finally got out of the sea of suffering.

"No, nothing."

"I'm just looking into my parents through some other avenues."

Skye smiled, masking the expression on her face.

This is not a reason, after all, this is her obsession all along.

"Is that the person?"

However, after hearing this, Phil Coulson's face became visibly serious.

You know, Phil Coulson has been wary since the last time Grantward reported that Skye and Ronan had had a separate contact.

Even now, Grantward has defected from S.H.I.E.L.D. and reinstated himself as an agent of Hydra.

However, for this information, Phil Colson still believes it.

Because the first element of undercover is to never lie about things that have nothing to do with you.

As a top agent and undercover agent, Grant Ward clearly understands what is happening now.

"Yes."

Skye didn't hide it either, just nodded.

She didn't give the specifics, because she had promised Peter Parker to help him keep it a secret.

"Your contact with him is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger."

"I've been in contact with him a few times, and while he's not a bad guy, he's not a good guy either."

"At least, he's like the one who wants to play with us and watch our antics make him happy."

Phil Coulson looked at Skye very seriously and said what he said about Ronan.

No, to be exact, an evaluation of "Mr. Fantastic".

Because every time Phil Colson meets "Mr. Fantastic", he feels a special feeling.

Although the other party hid it well, Phil Coulson was still keenly aware of it.

It's the kind that is high up in the sky, like humans watching ants work hard to carry food back to their nests.

And humans either destroy the ants at will as a result of their efforts for half a day.

Or, as if it were a handout, help the ants deliver the food to the door of the nest.

No matter how you think about it, it doesn't feel very good.

"But he knows about my parents, doesn't he?"

"Isn't that what I've been investigating for so long?"

Skye looked up at Phil Coulson, his eyes burning.

That's right, whether she joined the Rising Tide organization or later joined S.H.I.E.L.D.

There is only one purpose.

It's about finding your own background.

And now, the answer is close at hand.

"But at what cost?"

"What do you have to pay?"

Phil Coulson asked rhetorically.

Skye opened her mouth, just about to say what Ronan had commissioned her at the time, but suddenly thought of Ronan's words.

If she tells the story, the news about her parents will be sealed forever.

Although Ronan did not explicitly say what means she could use to monitor Skye to prevent her from saying these words, Skye did not dare to bet.

That's right, she didn't dare to bet.

Maybe Ronan didn't use any means, just to intimidate her and not let her tell the content of the transaction.

But who can guarantee that, what if?

What if those mages really have some special means?

"We just made a deal and I didn't have to give anything."

"And tonight, he'll tell me everything I want to know."

Skye pursed her lips and decided to hide the deal.

"Skye, some secrets, not so"

Looking at Skye in front of her, Phil Coulson couldn't think of the right adjectives to persuade her.

Stop her?

No, Phil Colson can't do it.

This was something Skye had dreamed of for more than twenty years, how could he possibly stop it?

However, Phil Colson was well aware that it was not that simple, at least from the oral accounts of the other agents.

Skye's identity at the beginning was definitely a huge secret.

He didn't know if Skye could handle it.

"Alright Phil, the appointed time is coming."

"Thank you very much for your concern, but I've been searching for so long, and now I finally have an answer."

"So, I'm sorry"

Skye gulped down the wine from his glass, then picked up his notebook and clothes on the table and turned to leave the bar.

There was still more than an hour left, and it was the time she had agreed with Ronan and Peter Parker.

Looking at the back of Skye leaving, Phil Coulson silently put down his wine glass.

"The talk collapsed, didn't it?"

At this time, Melinda May appeared behind Phil Coulson.

She also heard all the conversation just now.

"It's not a breakdown, it's just."

"Young people always have their own ideas, don't they?"

Phil Coulson shrugged, he had already thought of Skye's reaction.

Not everyone can understand Skye's inner emotions, especially after so much.

"She's been a little absent-minded ever since Grant Ward betrayed the team."

"Perhaps, she also wants to find something to divert her attention."

Phil Coulson naturally knew the affection between Skye and Grantward.

Grant Ward was his guide from the time Skye joined the squad, and the two spent a lot of time together.

In addition, it is normal to have experienced so many things together and have feelings for each other.

"Are you sure you want to mention that person?"

Melinda May looked at Phil Coulson with some displeasure.

You know, the people standing here are not only teammates with Grantward, but even have a deeper relationship.

"Well, it's my fault."

"I always bring up things that shouldn't be mentioned."

Phil Coulson raised his hand, signaling that it was his fault.

He had forgotten that Melinda Mae had been in close contact with Grantward.

"Forget it, what are you going to do about Skye?"

"Will you let her go into contact with that Mr. Fantastic?"

Melinda Mei also didn't take advantage of the topic to play.

After all, the two have known each other for so long, and they both know each other's personalities.

"No, no matter what she does, she's my team."

Phil Coulson drank the wine from his glass and took a deep breath.

"Notify the others, track Skye's vehicle signals."

"We can help her when necessary!"

——

Nine fifty-eight a.m.

After waiting for half an hour, Skye finally met a familiar face.

Ronan rode his bicycle and came from not far away.

Well, along the way, Ronan cordially "educated" three gangsters who didn't know much about the rules.

Among them, there is also a Nigo who has been practicing knives for two and a half years, and after being shown by Ronan what knife skills are, and helping him change his bald hairstyle, he decided to never practice knives again in the future, and changed his career to play basketball.

Ronan is still very satisfied with this result.

At least play basketball, plus Nigo's exclusive talent, Rap.

If you practice singing and dancing well, you can definitely become a first-line star in the United States in the future.

Maybe he'll have to thank Ronan then.

"Hello, good evening."

Ronan expertly threw the bike into his space and got into Skye's car.

Fortunately, this action was done in Skye's blind spot, otherwise Skye would have doubted his eyes.

"Good evening."

"That. . . What about Spider-Man? ”

Skye greeted and glanced around with some curiosity.

She didn't see Peter Parker.

Boom.

At that moment, there was a sudden noise on the roof of the car.

"Now, here's the man."

"After all, it's Spider-Man, and it's normal to go off the beaten path."

Ronan changed his posture, a flash of helplessness on his face.

Originally, he wasn't going to come tonight, after all, it was Peter Parker and Skye's business.

It's just that Peter Parker doesn't trust Skye a little bit on the one hand, and on the other hand, he seems to be a little unaccustomed to being alone with girls.

So, I want Ronan to come with me.

Ronan also thought about it, come on, anyway, I'll tell Skye about her background when the time comes.

By the way, complete the previous transaction.

Let's just do it all together.

"Hey guys, missed me?"

Peter Parker's figure hung upside down from the roof of the car.

As long as he changed into this outfit, Peter Parker went from a shy guy to a chatterbox.

I don't know what magic this mask has.

There is another person who has the same symptoms as him, and I don't know if he is a brother.

"Come on in, I'm sure Skye has some equipment for you."

Ronan opened the window and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

This kind of chatterbox attribute is really hopeless.

Peter Parker didn't say much, and rolled over through the window to enter, looking athletic.

Seeing Peter Parker's movements, Skye just pursed his lips and didn't say anything more.

"I've checked the blueprints of this building and found a couple of locations to sneak into."

"Next, you put on this headset, and I'll tell you where to hide from the surveillance cameras."

"If there's a camera that I can't dodge, I'll take care of it too."

As he spoke, Skye pulled out two pairs of headphones from the side.

Peter Parker took the headphones and put them on his ear.

Ronan, on the other hand, raised an eyebrow.

"I need to wear headphones too?"

In Ronan's opinion, he doesn't participate in the action, and wearing headphones doesn't do much.

"Whatever you want, sometimes, you need to give some professional advice."

Skye shrugged.

What words! What words this is!

What about my lawyer?

What do you want me to give some professional advice.

Do I look like one of those people who slip the door and pick the lock every day?

Ronan rolled his eyes, but eventually put on his headphones.

"Peter, you're going to enter through the side ventilation ducts next, where there will be at least three guards."

"If you want to get through quickly, knock them out violently."

"If you want to be a little more hidden, just wait for them to pass and then dive in."

"When you're in, I'll give you a hint on what to do in my headphones."

Skye was very caring, she was worried that if she said too much, Peter Parker would not be able to remember it, and then she would be at risk of failure.

So, she decided to wait for Peter Parker to sneak in, and then talk about it little by little.

Peter Parker didn't hesitate, nodding, put on a mask, and melted into the night.

Drip, drip, drip.

It was at this time that a small red dot appeared on Skye's computer.

The little red dot represented Peter Parker, and it was so fast that Skye didn't expect it at all.

"Don't be surprised, he can be faster."

"It's just that now he's a fledgling kid, and there's still a lot to learn."

Ronan glanced at Skye's expression and explained to her.

According to Peter Parker's potential, there is definitely more than that.

Let's see if the time comes, find him a similar teacher, and let him study hard.

"Guys, I've sneaked in."

"What's next?"

Peter Parker's voice came over the headphones.

"Peter, you go through the ventilation duct, turn right at the third turn, and go through the fourth room, which is the tenth floor."

"There are still three floors from the thirteenth floor of the target."

"But the top 10th floor is a top-secret area, and the ventilation ducts are also full of sensors."

"So, you can only start with the tenth floor and slowly touch the thirteenth floor."

Skye hurriedly said into the headphones.

Peter Parker didn't hesitate either, and began to march inside the ventilation duct, as Skye had said.

In less than five minutes, Peter Parker had entered an office through the ventilation duct.

"Peter, on the right-hand side of this office, walk about fifteen meters and you'll see the stairs."

"There will be surveillance cameras inside the stairs, but I've shielded them for you."

"The shielding time is only about eighteen seconds, so you have to fly three floors in eighteen seconds."

"And once it's past eighteen seconds, there's an alarm."

At this point, Skye hesitated.

Because eighteen seconds is a bit too harsh.

"Eighteen seconds?"

"Okay, I'm fine."

With that, Peter Parker's little red dot began to move again.

A distance of more than ten meters is not a problem at all for Peter Parker.

"Five seconds, I started shielding."

“54321”

“Go!”

After Skye said "Go", Peter Parker rushed out like an arrow from a string.

He didn't take the stairs little by little like a normal person, but gave full play to the abilities given to him by Spider-Man, and directly used the flying one.

"It's time!"

By the time Skye knocked back the carriage, Peter Parker had already reached the thirteenth floor.

Listening to Peter Parker's funny voice in the headphones, Skye couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It worked.

Ronan, on the other hand, glanced behind him and couldn't help but shake his head.

There are always people who can't remember the lesson.

"You guys get busy first, I'll help you deal with the tail."

"As an agent, you can't even handle your tail, you still need to exercise more."

With that, Ronan patted Skye on the shoulder and disappeared.

Skye turned her head suddenly, and she understood what Ronan meant.

The tail he was talking about must be her teammates!

However, Ronan was still sitting in the back of the car.

"You"

Skye was a little surprised.

"Don't be surprised, he's gone, and I'm staying as a hostage."

"After all, he doesn't want to be discovered by your people, and the car in the far-infrared camera will suddenly have one less person."

Ronan shrugged his shoulders and said something that made Skye a little confused.

What does that mean?

However, Ronan, who is in his own right, has already arrived in another car.

"Skye is still in the car, and there are two people in the car."

"They seem to be on a call, do you need me to sync their call?"

Said a young male agent.

This person is none other than Skye's teammate, Leofiz.

"Let's sync, I want to know what the hell they're talking about."

Phil Coulson whispered.

He also wanted to know who Skye was working with.

"No need."

"If you want to know, I can tell you."

At this moment, an unfamiliar voice suddenly came into their ears.

As a senior agent, Phil Coulson and Melinda May in the driver's seat took out their pistols as soon as possible.

However, when they turned their heads, they found a man wearing an Iron Man mask, holding Leofiz and Jenma Simmons on one left and one on the right.

"Long time no Phil."

"It seems that what happened last time we met still hasn't taught you a lesson."

Ronan tilted his head, and there seemed to be a hint of amusement in his tone.

At the beginning, Grant Ward and Skye were following Ronan in private, and after being put together by George Stacy, they were "smoothly" arrested and put in prison.

Fortunately, S.H.I.E.L.D. wasn't what it is now.

Otherwise, if they want to come out, I'm afraid there will be no one to protect them.

"It's you!"

Phil Coulson recognized the voice at once.

And, of course, this mask.

In the whole world, there is only one person who can wear the Iron Man mask and this kind of voice.

Mr. Fantastic!

"It's me, it doesn't look like you've changed."

"Is there a lack of someone in this car, the stupid big white man in the first place?"

Ronan swept around as if he didn't know.

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something.

"Oh sorry, I forgot he's a Hydra spy."

"Presumably since Hydra was exposed, he has betrayed you too, right?"

Ronan said these insincere apologies as if he had accidentally exposed someone else's scars.

"What else do you know?"

"Or did you know it from the beginning?"

Phil Coulson looked at Ronan in shock.

Although it is true that Grantward has defected, the news is top secret.

Not to mention outsiders, I'm afraid that inside S.H.I.E.L.D., some people don't know.

Even if the current S.H.I.E.L.D. has only two or three kittens left.

"Of course I knew it from the beginning."

"I also know that he seems to have shot and killed one of your high-ranking agents."

"And he's hiding."

Speaking of this, Ronan directly stopped the next words.

Tsk, I still don't tell them these things.

"Where is he hiding?"

At this time, Leofiz, who was held by Ronan, was a little excited.

In fact, all along, he didn't believe that Grantward had defected, and even he felt that the other party had something unspeakable.

Therefore, for this "partner", he has always had the intention of salvation.

"Say, where the hell is he?"

"I just want to know"

Syllable!

However, what Leofez didn't expect was that before he finished asking his question, Ronan's hand directly grabbed his neck with a backhand.

directly interrupted his next words.

"Hmm"

The huge force suddenly made Leofiz feel suffocated.

Not only was he speechless, but even breathing had become a luxury.

"No!"

Gemma Simmons next to her screamed, trying to stop Ronan's movements.

However, he was pressed to the spot by Ronan.

"I've never been a fan of hitting women, so I'll only allow you to be presumptuous once."

"If you dare to move next, then I don't guarantee what will happen."

Ronan's voice was like a demon, gently drifting into the ears of Gemma Simmons.

And listening to this voice, Jenma Simmons was frightened and didn't dare to move.

"And you."

"There are three things I hate the most in my life, one is that others say bad things about me, and the other is that others say bad things about me behind my back."

"As for the third article, it was also added just now."

"That's when someone questioned me."

Ronan turned his head and looked at Leofiz, who was choked by his neck.

Well, the bottom line, it's okay to be flexible.

"Ho-ho."

On the other side, Leofiz was about to lose the presence of oxygen.

"Let him go, or I'll shoot!"

Melinda May directly turned on the safety of the pistol, if it weren't for the fear of such a small space in the car, it would cause ricochet.

Otherwise, she would have shot a long time ago.

"People say that seven steps away, the gun is accurate."

"And within seven paces, the gun is fast and accurate."

"So, I want to try, within these seven steps, whether you kill me with a gun first, or if I kill them first."

"If you agree, pull the trigger and let's do a fun test together."

"Look if I'm dead"

"Or they die first!"
