Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Bitter Cold
Moira Maktagut.
CIA agents, who had received professional training at the Langley headquarters, but were not able to go any further, were sent to the intelligence field against Soviet Russia, mainly responsible for the intelligence front in North America, selecting those who might be pro-Soviet personnel, and then reporting or arresting them outright.
Her work attitude can be described as conscientious.
In the context of the Cold War, as a front-line member of the confrontation, Moira is also full of freedom in a sense, and because of her flexible brain, she can always do something beyond the imagination of her colleagues when she is working.
For example, when infiltrating the Hellfire Club.
Moira was very bold to pretend to be a call girl and sneak in, which made her colleagues stunned, as if to say, how much money do we get a month, is it necessary to fight to this extent?
I have to say that Moira, as a CIA agent, has excellent quality.
And this quality also allowed Moira to discover Sebastian Shaw by surprise when he was investigating the Moroccan ambassador and pro-Soviet elements in Las Vegas, Nevada, and also witnessed the scene of the White Queen and the Red Devil two psionics using their psionic powers at will.
Although Moira has no training related to subspace.
But she is aware of the existence of psionics and their dangers.
In particular, when the operation manual of the suspected Soviet Russian nuclear submarine was searched from the Hellfire Club, Moira automatically made up a series of plots such as the Soviet Russian psykers infiltrating and plotting against the free world, and then trying to influence the political arena, steal intelligence, and provoke a world war.
She should save America!
The beautiful rookie agent who had completed stealing information under Sebastian's nose and then successfully escaped reported the matter to her boss with great interest.
However......
Miss Moira's boss is a traditional old-fashioned, devout Christian, and with his lack of authority and almost zero knowledge of Chaos, the boss in the comfort zone throws Moira's report in the trash with a little discriminatory look.
and warned her that if she fooled him with this circus clown-like show again, he would transfer her to the Bering Strait front line to fish, saying that she would be lucky enough to catch a humpback whale from there.
Moira, who was scolded out of the office, ran into the corner.
She didn't cry her nose and she wasn't the kind of weak woman.
The boss's scolding made Moira have the idea of competing, since he can't get the support of his boss, then he will go it alone, since mutants exist, then there must be experts in mutant research. Of course, Moira got on a Boeing plane to New York before another group of mysterious people from the CIA could find her.
The two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, who were one step late, looked at each other.
"Put her to the test as a defector?"
"No need, she may be a good seedling, contact the DC SAR to make arrangements, first listed as an alpha-level person to be reviewed, if she performs well, you can consider being absorbed into our group."
"It's okay, after all, there is too little manpower in the bureau."
The work of S.H.I.E.L.D. is not only hectic, but also extremely dangerous.
Not only do they have to hunt down the remnants of the empire and beware of the invasion of outer space, but they also have to be careful of the surging subspace forces on the side of Soviet Russia, and they must also be careful of the Chaos Believers who suddenly appear in every corner. The people who work here are often accompanied by mental illness, substance abuse, sensitivity and suspicion.
In some extreme cases, S.H.I.E.L.D. has access to nuclear bombs on American soil, but fortunately there are no scenarios where they are needed at this time.
"The death rate in the Texas bureau is almost three hundred percent, and the damned natives in the wilderness don't know what they worship."
"There's been a lot of lately, don't complain man, do it."
The two agents easily sifted through Moira's clutter and found a newspaper with headlines and images pointing to Charles, a high-spirited biology professor who had just finished his doctoral dissertation and made some sharp points.
Before he knew it, Charles had been drawn into a darker and more real world.
…………
…………
Charles has been in a bit of a bad mood lately.
The first is that he always feels a headache and nausea inexplicably, like seasickness, which makes his spiritual energy somewhat uncontrollably surged, and Charles, who is extremely sensitive to subspace, quickly found the reason, I don't know when it started, and subspace began to surge.
The surge of the Supreme Heaven is a very intuitive reflection in the souls of the psionics.
Since World War II, there have not been such blazing waves in subspace, and it seems that there is something in the dark that has caused the Supreme Heaven to be restless.
The second is that my sister Raven's rebellious period has become stronger.
She felt that Charles was restraining her, and she didn't dare to look directly at her true appearance before her changed appearance, and he should not detain her like an old man, but should support her like Li Lin and Mr. Carlos, so that she can go outside and pursue her own life.
Charles is actually reflecting on whether he is taking Raven too closely.
At least she was quite happy when she got along with Li Lin, who was like an elder.
But on second thought.
Li Lin will get along with him very happily as long as he is a person, and it is obviously wrong to use him as the standard for some baselines.
By the way, Li Lin's chess skills are unexpectedly dish.
Neither against Machado nor Charles, he had ever won. And the explanation he himself gave was that he was a real dish, not releasing water, but just playing at the level of ordinary people's abilities.
The last thing that made Charles feel bad was the invitation of the CIA agent.
The other party hopes that Charles can help her form a team of powerful psionics to fight against the superhumans infiltrated by the Soviet Russians. Charles grew up watching Captain America's deeds and did not resist the other party's invitation, but when he read the other party's thoughts, he saw the figures of other psykers.
This made Charles hesitate.
He had expected that psionics might destroy the world, and now things seemed to be heading in the worst direction he had imagined.
As one of the most powerful psionics in the material world, what did Charles feel he should do to at least protect his own kind and the world?
Habitually, when he made an important decision, Charles decided to talk to Li Lin. He subconsciously accessed the subspace, and immediately realized that Li Lin was at home, and this habit from childhood to adulthood was not so easy to correct, Charles shook his head self-deprecatingly.
When Charles found Li Lin.
He was throwing bread crumbs into the creek of the manor, grabbing a handful and scattering them, and Li Lin's expression at the moment had an indescribable chill.
