Chapter 908
What's this about? I suddenly said these things I don't understand.
Colson was now full of sorrow. He originally wanted to know what plans they were discussing through the conversation between Evanson and Melinda. But he didn't expect that they would quarrel when they opened their mouths, and he was confused when he heard it! Not to mention analyzing useful information from it, he didn't even understand which country they were talking about.
It can be seen from this that mastering a foreign language is such an important skill, and that SHIELD’s secret matters are indeed not so easy to be understood by irrelevant people.
However, if you retreat when you encounter such a little difficulty, you will really underestimate our agent Colson. Based on his years of understanding of Melinda, he felt that the languages he didn't understand just now were probably Chinese. And although he did not understand the content and meaning of it, with his excellent agent skills, he actually wrote down the pronunciation of those words roughly.
So, now only those pronunciations are needed. Three books were spread out in front of Colson. He raised his interest rate and buried his head in the pile of old papers, constantly searching back and forth.
The first book is an introduction to basic Mandarin, the second book, Xinhua Dictionary, the third book, how to check dictionary. He now put all his hopes into these three books.
"Have you found out yet?" After a while, Sgai sat impatiently opposite the table. Now the mechanical exoskeleton on her body had been removed by Fitz.
Colson looked up at her and replied impatiently, "Not yet, I found a lot of words with similar pronunciations, but all of them were not meaningful. After they were connected together, it was simply inexplicable. So..." Colson put the book up in dismay. "I think even if they were talking in Chinese just now, they might have been cryptographically nudified, or... more than one language in China."
"It's not surprising that the world's most populous unified multi-ethnic country and the oldest ancient civilization in the world have multiple languages." Sgay shrugged and also gave Colson an idea. "However, I'll write a set of programs and say those pronunciations and let the computer search for them faster than you can search here."
"You can spare me." Colson rubbed his head. "I can remember the pronunciations of those languages clearly, but if I want me to read them with my tongue, it would be easier to cut them. By the way, how do you feel after getting rid of that mechanical exoskeleton?"
"Well..." Sigai curled his lips, reached out to pick up the coffee cup from the table and said, "Actually, it doesn't feel anything. When the machine was worn on me, it was like a part of my body. Now the only thing I need to adapt to is that without the assistance of those things, my strength seems to have become smaller, and I'll get used to it."
"By the way, why don't you just try to ask Melinda? She might tell you."
Bang! Colson suddenly slapped the table hard, as if he was a little angry, but in the end he just sighed and didn't make it happen, "It's useless. If she could tell me, she wouldn't have kept it from me for so long."
"Who knows, maybe it's because she doesn't tell you, it's to protect you." Sigai felt it was necessary to care about his old godfather's emotional problems. "Go and try it out and talk to her calmly."
"It's not that simple." Colson smiled bitterly. "She has been accepting special orders that may be directly from the director, and it is obvious that I shouldn't know the content of this order, so it's not a matter of trust and feelings, but a matter of discipline."
"Thank you for understanding my situation." With a heavy footsteps, Melinda slowly walked over in her armor and held a piece of printing paper, and she also carried a pack of things in her other hand.
Although Evanson finally sent her the last medicine and gave her this set of armor as promised, the Yangtze River Sword that had been agreed upon did not arrive as expected, so she had to get a machete by herself.
"What are you looking at?" Squid opened her head, and she was interested in the paper in Melinda's hand. "Is there a new order?"
"This? No." Melinda raised the printing paper in her hand indifferently. "This is the product manual, telling me what kind of ability I can use after the last period of modulation." As she said that, she held the manual hard and slid a faint green flame from her hand burned it to ashes.
Sgay was obviously very surprised by this scene. "Cool, Evanson-like magic."
"I knew, magic, you can see that book, I can't see it!" But Colson slapped the table angrily and stood up. "From the first time we met Evanson, I knew you were more talented than me and had a certain magical talent, wait... Was that really the first time we met Evanson?"
Because of these things, Colson was suspicious of everything. He even felt that Melinda might have had contacted Evanson before the so-called first meeting. That time he pulled him over was just another formality.
"There should be a limit for not trusting me, Phil." Melinda's face turned cold. She was a little unhappy about Colson's suspicion, but when she thought deeper, she felt that she had no unhappy position. After all, she had hidden too many things from him. "That's definitely the first time Evanson and I met, I promise."
"You promise..." Colson shook his head. He really couldn't tell which sentence Melinda said was true and which sentence was false. "So from then on, you will be ordered by the Director to test whether Evanson's magic can be copied to ordinary people."
"I know that the director has given Evanson a lot of information about agents, asking him to pick out someone to practice magic, and even Ward is one of them, but in the end all these people were eliminated. I think that those people are just covering up, right? The only one who is actually selected is you."
"Well..." Melinda frowned. "I neither deny nor acknowledge what you said."
Otherwise, what else can I say? Evanson did remove all the agents, and he was indeed the only S.H.E.L.D. selected by him, but these things have nothing to do with the director, and even the director didn't know about it at all.
But this sentence neither admits nor denies, but the official S.H.E.L.D. is ranked alongside the secret matter. So Colson is very dissatisfied with this answer. "Come on, Melinda, you and I are both level 8 agents. Do I really not know these things at all?"
"It's not actually." Melinda tilted her head. "Phil, you are a Level 8 agent, and I am a Level 9 agent."
What’s the thing? You are actually my superior? Colson was stunned at the time. "When did this happen? When did you upgrade? Well, this doesn’t matter. The key is that you are in my group now. I am the leader of this group. Do you have no obligation to tell me such a major secret?"
"Not." Melinda shook her head. "Actually, the real leader of this group and the person who is really responsible for you Director Nick Fury, has always been me."
"What? This is impossible!" Colson was even more shocked. "I formed this group!"
"I formed this group." Melinda sighed. She felt that it was already this time, and there was no need to hide some things from Colson. "It was the list I planned, and I found the right person to send it to you. Why did I object so much to Sgai at the beginning? Because she was not on my list, she was an unplanned person."
"Then my selection and testing are just a formality? The real candidate has been decided long ago?" Colson rubbed his brows. "But you are not on the list. I went to find you, and I convinced you to join."
"Ha, Phil, you are not a complicated person." Melinda smiled bitterly. "Do you think the director would not expect your behavior? And if I really make up my mind to be an intern, just by running to my office and saying hello to me, I will fly to you? Please, I actually said hello, okay, you should at least treat me to dinner and open a bottle of good red wine by the way."
"Do we want to watch a movie hand in hand?" Colson spread his hands and said, "Why is this happening?"
"Why?" Melinda shook her head. "You just said that this group has the effect of healing Evanson's personality, but this is actually just by the way. The purpose of this group is to heal you."
"The things in Tahiti have a great impact on you. I am actually worried about your situation, so I have this group. All this is just to stabilize your state."
"So that's it... Tahiti..." Colson slowly sat back as if he had lost his strength, then raised his head blankly to look at Melinda. "What happened to Tahiti, tell me."
"This... this is a secret matter." Melinda bit her lip and finally didn't tell the truth. Although she had already said a lot, it would be better for Colson to never know about it. No one likes to know that she has been to hell, no one likes to know that she was locked in hell, and in the cage of the hellhound.
At this point, the two were speechless, but at this moment, a communication was handed in last time. "Can you receive it? Can you receive it? S.H.E.L.D. 616, I was chased by enemy planes, and it was finished."
"Garert?" Colson instantly realized that this was his old friend's voice. The opposite side said anxiously, "I was attacked, repeated, S.H.E.L.D. The drone of them has been sticking to me. They are not friendly."
"Do you know what's going on?" Colson looked at Melinda. There were too many bizarre things today. First, he suspected that Melinda was a traitor, and then he found that she and Evanson had accepted the director's special order. Not only was his plane controlled by remote communications, but his old friend was chased by S.H.E.L.D., and his mind was completely lost. "Tell me, is this also the director's order? What order did Nick Fury give?"
"This is not his order." Melinda checked the machete that was stuck behind her waist and said with a cold face. "He can never give orders again. The director... is dead, so Evanson contacted me in the way he just now. Now, I can only tell you so much."
Nick Fury died? Colson's mind was buzzing. After briefly digesting this information, I felt that if it were like this, what happened today might be possible.
The director died, and it was definitely not a normal death, or even died of assassination by sabotagers. The senior management or committee of SHIELD now decided not to send a secret message to blockade, and recalled all senior agents outside by mandatory means of not issuing orders and explaining the reasons to stabilize the current situation. Therefore, his plane was suddenly taken over, so all SHIELD communication channels were all noises in order to avoid revealing the news.
However, senior agents are like having paranoia for victimization. Although this method is reasonable, it will make senior agents at a loss and will definitely find a way to escape from this control. It must be because of this reason that Garrett found a way to escape from the remote control of S.H.E.L.D. In the eyes of the committee, this manifestation is betrayal, so these drones will attack him. Of course, it is also possible that these drones were sent by the destructors who assassinated Nick Fury to eliminate the backbone of S.H.E.L.D.
Moreover, due to the reasons of segmentation management, Nick Fury is the only person who knows all the secrets in SHIELD. He coordinates and assigns different tasks and coordinates them. However, he suddenly dies and does not exist. Everyone in that group has their own secrets and tasks. Without Nick Fury's approval, they don't know if they can tell their companions. This is due to mutual concealment and mutual doubts. In addition, if there is a sabotage internally, there will inevitably be internal strife.
I just questioned Melinda, and the other party looked like he couldn't speak and could not defend himself. It might be because of this reason.
But the most important thing is that Nick Fury is not an ordinary person, and he cannot die without understanding. He must have seen the clues and arranged countermeasures. No, even if he has nothing to do, he will definitely prepare for this extreme situation and leave a back-up plan.
The best proof is that Evanson, you just contacted Melinda in a special way. The reason why he showed a coercive and tough attitude and contacted Melinda in a language that he couldn't understand was because it was important that he couldn't say too much.
All this was explained. Colson nodded and said to Melinda in a calm voice, "I'm not asking anything now. Let's go back together and help SHIELD through this most dangerous moment."
"No, I can only go back alone this time." Melinda shook her head firmly. "You'd better not do anything now."
"I..." Colson suddenly stood up to argue, but finally sat down powerlessly. "Okay."
Melinda may be executing the last order left by Nick Fury, but this order obviously does not include herself and others. If she acts without permission now, it is likely to disrupt the overall deployment of the plan and may even be considered betrayal.
"Things are complicated, Phil." Melinda turned around and walked slowly towards the upper floor of the plane. "From now on, don't trust anyone."
"I know." Colson nodded. After the plane arrived at the scheduled location, he didn't know whether the person waiting for him was from S.H.E.L.D. or the hidden destruction elements. And Garrett is in contact with him now, and in the eyes of the committee, this is most likely to be with him. This old friend is really going to cause trouble for himself.
At this time, Garrett was flying the plane not far from Colson's airbus. The drone following him kept attacking him, which made him anxious. After Colson sent out the communication, he did not wait until he replied, which made him anxious.
But at this moment, he saw that the airbus' top, which was usually used to park small planes, suddenly opened, and a black figure with red eyes slowly crawled out from above.
What is that? It's tens of thousands of meters away now, and the plane is flying at full speed. That guy is standing steadily on the plane. It really seems that the air resistance does not exist! "Colson, it seems that there is a weird man in medieval armor standing on your plane. Do you know what that is?"
"That's...confidential."
Garrett, I'm sorry, Colson is really hiding something from me. Could it be that he noticed something?
At this time, the drone following him seemed to have noticed Colson's airbus, and immediately distributed one and bit it up. He followed the rear of the plane tightly, and was about to launch a missile attack.
"Assie..." But at this time, the black shadow standing on the plane made extremely crazy actions as if he was going crazy. He spread his body on the top of the plane and ran towards the rear of the plane. Then he jumped. Not only with the help of running, he was deliberately blown by the airflow at the tail of the plane. He flew towards the drone behind the plane like a shell.
Bang, at home, in his extremely surprised eyes, the black shadow turned around in the air and lay on the top of the drone. After crawling forward for two steps, a burst of green smoke emerged all over his body, and four iron chains that twisted like tentacles were stretched out from behind, all of which were firmly tied to the drone.
"Are you kidding me?" Garrett widened his eyes and saw that the drone instantly spread out countless green stripes with the man as the center, with flames burning on it. Then two missiles with the same stripes were fired, but the two missiles launched forward suddenly turned and flew backwards in the air, and they said that they were chasing behind and were reluctant to let other drones shoot down.
Then I saw the drone suddenly straightened up in the air. Then a special topic was adjusted with the angle of the aircraft engine, and the entire aircraft instantly completed the steering, carrying the black shadow to the distance, and disappeared in a short while.
Garrett was stunned. It was a blessing that it was a drone. Otherwise, if you turned your way, the driver would probably die inside on the spot.
At the same time, in the command center of SHIELD, a large screen representing the drone's light spot was extinguished at the same time. An operational team member in black reported that "all the drones were destroyed, John Garrett was still alive, and may have already connected with Colson."
Then another operation team member suggested, "I suggest sending more people to go over and directly hit the plane."
"No need, I can't gain control of John Garrett's plane, so I decided to destroy it. Now he actually boarded Colson's plane, so I'll solve it after they landed."
The commander of this attack made a calm decision behind everyone's back. Everyone looked back and felt a dazzling light. This person was the senior internal agent, Sitterville.
"Do you have any objection? Agent?" Sitterville held his glasses and saw a man next to him looking down without saying a dissatisfaction.
"I'm sorry, sir." The man said bitterly. "I just feel uncomfortable when I was called a friend last time."
"Oh, so that's it." Starville smiled, and took out his pistol without seeing it clearly, and shot the guy in the head. He looked at the others who were already shocked and said, "After that encrypted message is sent out, everything will be different from now on. We all understand this principle, don't we?"
The other agents looked at each other, and then said in a low and tough voice, "Hey, Hydra, step out of the shadows and welcome the light."
