Chapter 101: Mysterious Bones
"But you said you came to them." Nick looked at Thor with a blank expression, and he observed that the other party didn't seem to be lying, but really didn't know where the mages gathered.
"yes, but as soon as I came over, I was thrown to Coulson." Thor also looked helpless, he was thrown from Asgard to the atrium by his father Odin, and then directly thrown by the Supreme Mage to Coulson, he couldn't even resist, and was clearly arranged by those two.
"I don't know how the other person came up. I just went out for a meal and ordered a burger. Coulson, who was on the side, saw the eyes of his head of office sweeping towards him, and explained to himself in a loud voice. He wished he could run into Thor on a combat mission, so that the whole battle would be much easier, and he didn't mind meeting a friend and helping him fight by the way.
"Well, where do you want to go? Or what are the requirements? Need money? Do you need a place to live? Do I need a vehicle for my trip? Oh, this one doesn't work, I don't have a driver's license. You won't be able to drive either. Nick shook his head.
"I'm not going anywhere, I'm here. The mage said I just had to wait to see my brother. I don't need your slow tools, I can use my hammer wherever I want. Thor weighed Mjolnir, the hammer of Thor, in his hand.
"Please try not to do that! Wherever you want to go, just tell Coulson and let him take you. Nick rejected Thor's desire to go it alone without thinking about it, and he couldn't afford to have the news of flying with a hammer all over the world. He felt compelled to have someone of his own by Thor's side, to keep an eye on him at all times, telling him what he could and couldn't do.
And this candidate, Nick looked at Agent Phil Coulson, who had a relationship with Thor.
"I want to see Jane." Thor spoke his claim.
"You'll see you soon." Nick replied briskly. He didn't mind satisfying Thor over something as inconsequential, as long as he could keep him in trouble.
"You're good, though you're still weak." Thor nodded in satisfaction.
Nick rolled his eyes inwardly at Thor's repeated mockery of his weakness. He could hear the sincerity in Thor's words, he wasn't meant to be sarcastic, but he just thought so, so he said it.
Looking at the back of Thor and Agent Coulson leaving together, Nick's eyes were a little deep. Although he had not been communicating with this alien prince for a long time, he already had a rough psychological portrait in his mind. As Agent Phil said, he has great power and a sense of justice in his heart, but he is a little reckless.
Nick doesn't hate people like Thor, and he even does. Because the other party has the power at the same time, but also has their own persistence, the recklessness of the brain is an advantage on Nick's side, which means that it can be relatively easy to "use". Of course, for the sake of the other party's identity, under normal circumstances, Nick will not really calculate anything about the other party, unless it is really a last resort.
What's more, Nick didn't have the heart to pay attention to this prince's affairs now, he still had a bunch of things to deal with waiting for him to deal with, and the first thing to do was to find out the group of mages first.
I didn't know that it was natural to be at ease, but since I learned about the existence of mages from Luke, Nick, who was so suspicious, felt that if he didn't find them out as soon as possible, he wouldn't even be able to sleep.
So the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., under the order of their own head officer, each carried a detection instrument produced by Heblen, and roamed back and forth throughout New York City.
Originally, Nick thought that this was a long-term job and needed to fight a long battle, but who would have thought that just a few days later, a team would pass back a message.
Somewhere underground in Manhattan, there is a strong energetic response that causes the probe to vibrate.
"Underground? Did the mages say rats? Nick was stunned when he heard the news. However, when further information arrived, his face became serious.
……
A section of Manhattan was barricaded by barricades and seals, and even hung up signs for the road ahead.
Nick, who walked quickly down from S.H.I.E.L.D.'s latest Quint fighter, asked Agent May, who was in charge of the matter at the scene, "How's the situation?" ”
"Still digging." Agent May led the way as he reported to the head officer, "We haven't found a mage, and so far, there are only two fragments of bones that I don't know what they are. ”
"I've read the information, where are those two bone fragments? Take me to see it. Nick commanded with a screed voice. He thinks these things may have something to do with the mages. Of course, this speculation is just an association and has no factual basis. Nowadays, when Nick encounters any magical thing or business, he can't help but associate it with the mage and associate it with it.
May led her chief into the excavated hole. S.H.I.E.L.D. simply set up a camp here, and many related instruments were transported here as soon as possible. Soon Nick saw the two skeletal fragments. They were placed in a metal crate encased in lead, with a tempered glass partition around them. It covers two metal boxes like a protective layer.
"They have a strong energy response inside them?" Nick looked at the two skeletal fragments, one the size of an adult's palm, the other a human-like finger.
"Yes, we thought there was a problem with the instrument. However, even if the other teams have a new equipment, their energy response is still strong. Agent May said seriously. We don't know exactly what kind of creature it belongs to, but I think it must have been very powerful when it was alive. After all, after being dead for so long, the energy inside its bones still seriously interferes with the detection of many instruments. ”
"Are there only these two?" Nick's one-eyed eye was fixed on the two skeletal fragments inside the tempered glass.
"There's a much stronger energy response underground. We think there are many, or rather a large piece of bone fragment that hasn't been mined. But we have to be careful, based on the information available, if we accidentally release the underground energy source for some reason, it is likely to cause an earthquake of unknown intensity. May replied.
"You're doing a great job." Nick nodded in acknowledging Agent May's caution, then pondered for a moment before ordering, "Take me a piece of debris, we need more help." ”
