Chapter Seventy-One: Complicity?
"Mr. Policeman, any more questions?"
Looking at Caesar's smiling face, the old policeman was unwilling to be sent out of the door. In fact, in many cases, it is not that the police are not doing their best to handle the case, but that the police officers are unwilling to make efforts to investigate such a thankless task as Caesar. Even if this kind of thing is found out, in the end, it will only change from a small personal matter to a big matter between two organizations, and in the end, maybe they will set themselves on fire.
Seeing off the policeman, Caesar leaned his back against the door, took out his agent card and looked at himself smiling in the photo, and breathed a long sigh of relief, almost dying of his own life.
Caesar casually threw the agent card that saved his life on the table, turned and went into the bedroom to go to the closet to pick out clothes to wear when he went out. As a delicate man, the guy on his body can't be worse. As the saying goes, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, and the appearance of more decent clothes to others is very different.
Caesar made a small song, straightened his cuffs in the mirror, touched his hair a few times, raised his eyebrows at himself in the mirror, and said narcissistically: "Perfect! ”
Then as soon as he opened the door, he was met by Coulson, who smiled politely but kindly.
"Hello, Caesar!"
Caesar, who kept the door open, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly gave Coulson a warm hug, "Coulson!" Long time no see! Why did you come to me! With that, he pulled him towards the house.
"Coffee? It's whiskey, and I have black tea too, and it's a high-end product that Elizabeth got from her Europeans! Caesar greeted Coulson courteously.
The latter took out a high-tech looking laptop from the briefcase he was carrying and placed it on the table. Then he politely answered Caesar's question, "Thanks, coffee is fine." "He's not like an old policeman, he's sleepy, so he drinks coffee.
"Caesar, where have you been this year?" Coulson asked as he turned to Caesar's back as he walked to the counter.
Caesar took out a pack of pour-over coffee from the counter and poured it into his cup, and said without looking back, "Well, since I died last time." For me, I've only been here for a day or two, but when I came back, I realized that a year had passed. Coulson, things didn't go right last time, I shouldn't have hidden it from you! ”
Caesar put two cups of coffee on the table, then turned back and pulled out a can of milk and a few sugar grains from the counter, "You add it yourself, I don't know your preference." ”
Coulson glanced at Caesar, took a sip of his coffee cup, and licked the coffee foam from his mouth, "It's okay, it's much better than the coffee in S.H.I.E.L.D." Caesar, I was actually very happy when I knew you were still alive, you don't have to feel guilty for hiding it from me, the biggest lesson I've learned in this year is that people just need to live, and life is more important than everything. ”
Caesar was silent as he listened to Coulson's words, which were not rough and unreasonable, and of course it was important to live. But this doesn't affect him to keep pouring milk and sugar cubes into the coffee now, I have to say that this shit coffee is really unpalatable, so bitter!
Seeing that Caesar had a grudge against the coffee in his hand, Coulson opened the very high-tech laptop and pulled up a picture of a cube with a blue glow from it. When Caesar was finally satisfied with the taste of his coffee, Coulson introduced, "Caesar, Director Nick Fury needs you, look!" This thing is called the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, and we discovered it in the year you went missing, and we found the hope of infinite energy on it. ”
Caesar swallowed the drink called coffee is actually milk tea, and frowned: "One of my few physics just tells me that there is no perpetual motion machine in this world. You've heard that this thing has infinite energy, hasn't Stark been working on some clean energy lately? What can be made with serious technology is not better than this crooked and evil way? ”
Coulson: "Well, this is also a research direction, after all, it's not a pity to leave this thing alone, our research team is working on this thing backwards to see if we can use its energy." ”
Caesar: "And then?" Why are you involved with me again? This kind of scientific experiment, I used to hand a wrench is too redundant, you also know that I studied history and politics, if you let me take the ancient exam or something, I can do it a little harder, but this kind of academic rigor, it is really like a mountain, I don't understand! ”
Coulson replaced the picture on the computer, although it was still the blue square, but this picture was a little different, and this square was bluer.
"Caesar, we don't need your mind, but we have discovered that the real use of the Cosmic Cube is not to make energy, or that his use is not just to make energy, in short, we have found that he can make a portal. Caesar, do you know what that means? ”
Caesar: "Does that mean I can play any door like the bear in Doraemon?" Seriously, this is the greatest invention of the century I've heard, and you don't even know how much I envied 。。。。。 as a child! Just kidding, you go on! Seeing Coulson's darkening face, Caesar nudged him on the shoulder, signaling that he was joking.
Coulson: "When we were experimenting, we found out that the Cosmic Cube is not a single portal, he has another door that echoes this side, Caesar, do you know what that means?" ”
Caesar: "If the call from the other side comes from an alien planet, then we will prepare for a new era, like the Indians of the American continent facing the guns of the colonizers." If the call comes from the Earth itself, then it means that another organization is plotting against the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, so you need a strong combat power that can suppress the field, and this combat power is your own people, and it can't leak the dirty things you have done, Fake! Nick Fury's bastard just thinks of me? How can you insult people's innocence out of thin air! How could I, an innocent person, be in the same boat as you people. ”
Coulson prompted: "You still have Director Nick Fury's two billion dividends in your bank account, won't your conscience hurt?" ”
Caesar: "。。。。。。。 Let's talk about where I lived in the past, how I was treated, and I can't work for nothing, right? ”
Coulson: "You can talk to Nick Fury about specific matters, and if you can, we'll leave right away, he should be waiting for you at this point." ”
Caesar: This familiar sense of rhythm, this is how I committed suicide last time.
He turned his head and glanced at the bedroom, Elizabeth was still sleeping soundly in it, thought about it, and seemed to have nothing to explain, so he worked as a multi-party shift for a few days, and then said to this Coulson: "I have to go back to Manhattan for classes on Tuesday and Thursday, and I have to have two days off a week, and accept the compensatory leave, is it okay?" ”
Coulson: "Nick Fury will answer your questions. "I don't have this kind of treatment for my dignified eighth-level agents, how can you be so virtuous, you are tired to death!
On the other side of Manhattan, Phillips Hunt was in a villa by the sea, sitting on the sofa in the living room, staring at the TV in front of him without blinking, the face of Caesar Odin to be exact.
The source of the video screen on the TV is the robot who blew himself up with Caesar before, but according to Caesar's breezy appearance on the video, the explosion is probably useless. Phillips had been sitting here since he knew that the person who threatened him was Caesar, who had risen from the dead, watching Caesar's video over and over again, and at the same time finding Caesar's file with the help of his connections.
But the more I look at Phillips, the more confused I become, throughout the first half of Caesar's life, it is a story of a hard-pressed child who grows up inspirationally, and in college he was a famous old yin and miser, famous for being insidious and greedy for money. After entering the society, he returned to school to teach, and two years later became popular in the circle because of several papers. Everything is normal when you look at it this way. But then what Caesar did, Phillips became more and more confused the more he looked at it.
What went on a business trip to China for a year, returned to China and disappeared again less than a month, and then disappeared for a whole year. The amazing thing is that his teaching qualifications have not been removed, what if it doesn't matter in this special school, can Phillips believe it?
The most important thing is that Phillips looked at Caesar's unpredictable skills, if this guy had such a skill, how could he be killed by himself at that time! Phillips remembers very well that night, he put on his battle suit and rushed to Caesar, choked the latter's neck with his own hands, and bombed his car, watching his body turn to ashes in the flames, and then this guy appeared in front of him yesterday and dismantled the self-destructing robot he had carefully prepared.
This unscientific scene shocked Phillips for a whole year, he thought that the fact that he had superpowers was outrageous enough, but he didn't expect someone to be resurrected now?!
Of course, now Phillips is not thinking about whether Caesar will not be resurrected, he is thinking about how to kill this guy again. Looking at Caesar's skills on the video, Phillips thought that when he used his body to face him, he probably couldn't even see Caesar's face and was killed.
Can Phillips be so restrained? Of course not! In fact, as an arms dealer, Phillips not only sells arms, but also makes them, and many of the weapons in his family business have been improved by his men. In terms of making weapons, he didn't dare to say that it was comparable to Tony Stark's plug-in for the arc reactor in the garbage heap, but he could still make normal inventions.
For example, his astronaut-like big white suit was designed by himself, which can better exert his superpowers, and is bulletproof, explosion-proof, and adaptable to extreme environments. He can even go directly to space in that suit, don't think Phillips hasn't tried, a round trip to the Earth and the Moon just needs to fly all the time for him, of course, he hasn't done such a crazy thing yet, at most he went up and touched the hostile company's artificial satellite, and did some small damage or something.
Phillips was thinking about how to remake his suit so that he could take on Caesar.
