Chapter 404: Go to sleep
Chapter 404: Go to bed
[What's going on! Is there a bug in Tomato? When did my novel's rating become 8.5? ? ? I remember it was always 7.5? ]
Taking advantage of the night, a night elf crawled along the dark streets of New York City. He carefully avoided all store surveillance and road cameras, leaving no trace.
As one of the executors of Project Insight, Nick Fury certainly understands how powerful this system is, especially when it is used by others on themselves.
In order to cope with the big data screening of the Insight Program, Nick changed his makeup, put a dark blue knitted hat on his head, took off his black leather coat that he never took off, and changed into a turtleneck sweater and black leather pants.
Not only that, he also changed his behavior habits, stuffed paper balls in his mouth and smeared coal ash on his face. Of course, the coal ash did not have any effect.
But at this moment he was full of gay energy, completely different from before.
Nick even consciously avoided the car's dash cam, which was full of details.
As for Hammer, he also limped behind Nick, gritting his teeth, grinning, and tilting his head, looking like an idiot from the next village.
This is certainly not because Hammer’s pretending acting skills are so good, but because Nick directly electrocuted his left leg.
He also threatened Hammer that if he didn't do as he said, Nick would electrocute his third leg without hesitation.
Hammer: There is such a good thing, ah! No, how can you be so excessive!
Hammer had no choice.
After rolling and crawling, Nick finally came to an old alley. He stood up and looked at the crescent moon above his head. Nick had a grim expression. He shook off his dirty clothes and looked coldly at the man standing in front of him with his hands behind his back.
Neither of them spoke, but an invisible aura had already begun to clash, and the atmosphere in the alley gradually became cold and murderous.
"You came."
"Yes, I'm here."
The man turned around. He had a neat crew cut, a fierce look, sharp eyes, and was wearing a black vest that showed off his muscular body. On the chest of his shirt, there was a huge white skull printed on it.
He placed his palm downward, lightly on the edge of the pistol, his eyes fixed on Nick's expression.
Nick did not dare to be careless at all, because he knew that the other party would really kill him.
"Oh! You clumsy low-class person!" Hammer dragged his legs over, panting, breaking the atmosphere that had just been created. He glanced at the two people posing, and Hammer complained while supporting the wall with one hand:
"I make millions every minute, so I don't have the time to mess around with you. I want to leave this dirty place immediately. You, you can continue this meaningless detective game by yourself! I've had enough!"
Punisher Frank's pupils shrank slightly, his cold eyes swept across Hammer, and a cold and hoarse voice sounded:
"Nick Fury! You are really going backwards in time. Where are your Captain America, Hawkeye, and Black Widow?
Where did you find this idiot? Do you have no one available now?"
You actually called me an idiot?
"you--"
Hammer was so angry that his eyes went dark and he even forgot the pain in his leg. He pointed at Frank's face and took a step forward.
"Damn mud legs... Ouch--"
Hammer's legs, numbed by the electric shock, went limp, and he threw himself forward, kneeling in front of Frank and kowtowed to him.
Frank:…
Nick:…
Facing Frank's questioning gaze, Nick said calmly:
"I picked him up from the roadside. His existence is irrelevant."
"I picked it up! You actually said I was picked up! You brainless bastard, I doubt that you can't understand my jokes with your IQ, go to hell! And you!"
Hammer turned the gun around and pointed at the electronic shackles on Frank's feet.
"You look so fierce, I thought you were some big shot, but you're just a criminal on bail! You really don't treat this face of yours badly."
"Nick Fury! I tell you, I am ashamed to be in your company! You..."
A knife hit Hammer on the back of the head. Looking at Hammer who rolled his eyes and fainted, Frank said coldly:
"Tell me! What on earth do you want to ask me for that would make you, the head of the secret service, beg me for help?"
Nick's mouth twitched, but he still didn't tell me about his current situation. He relaxed his tone and said:
"Frank, don't forget, I spent a lot of money to bail you out of prison..."
"Don't play the emotional card with me, you damn bastard!" Frank's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He quickly took a few steps forward, grabbed Nick by the collar, and lifted the resistance-less Nick into the air.
“What did you promise me at that time? If I help you, you will protect my family.
You spoke so decisively and with such righteousness that I believed you so much at that time. But how did you do it? Did you do it?
My family died in front of me! It's all your fault, you bastard."
He punched Nick in the face, knocking him to the ground.
"Puff——" Nick spat out the blood and saliva in his mouth, his expression remained calm.
"It was the CIA that attacked your family. I didn't anticipate this beforehand. This is indeed my fault. Later, didn't I break the rules and provide you with information to help you avenge this blood feud?"
"Hehehe..." Frank let out a creepy sneer and stared at Nick with angry eyes.
Nick said again:
"Frank, I really need your help. I've helped you more than once before, and I know you've always hated me, but...
But this time, even if I owe you a favor, how about that..."
Frank narrowed his eyes and swung his fist.
thump—
Looking at the iron fist hitting his face, Nick smiled and said:
"The situation this time is really bad. The entire SHIELD is standing against us..."
"Ha~" Frank sneered and asked indifferently:
"So who are the members of your organization?"
Nick paused and looked down at Hammer lying on the ground.
Frank:…
Is it too late for me to quit now?
As if he had noticed Frank's thoughts, Nick said:
"Don't underestimate him! He is one of the richest men in the United States, the arms magnate of Hammer Technologies, Justin Hammer.
It's just him...
He cannot contact Hammer Technology for the time being, and cannot reveal his identity. His IQ... probably cannot produce powerful weapons on the spot, and his leadership ability..."
As he spoke, Nick gradually fell silent, and together with Frank, he stared at Hammer's dead body lying on the ground.
So…what’s the use of Hammer?
"Even if Hammer is useless, I have prepared a trump card, a hidden chess piece I left behind, a secret agent - Deadpool."
"Oh? Deadpool?" Frank was confused. This guy sounded like a fearless mercenary, the kind of person who would do anything for the money.
Nick said with a deep expression:
"Yes, his ability is to predict the future. With Deadpool's help, we will definitely succeed."
"Predict the future?" Frank raised his eyebrows and sneered:
"It sounds like a wizard who is playing tricks on you, Nick Fury. You won't be fooled, will you?"
The scene changed, and three people sat opposite Charlotte.
Charlotte held the teacup, sipped the herbal tea in the cup, and concluded thoughtfully:
"So, you want me to help you destroy Alexander Pierce's conspiracy."
"That's right." Nick observed Charlotte's expression, thought for a moment and said:
"I think, since I can see you here, then the situation is not as serious as the worst, right?"
"Of course not~" Charlotte pinched her fingers and pretended to count, then put her hands together in front of her chest, closed her eyes and said:
“Everything is under my control.”
Charlotte slowly opened her eyes and looked at Nick's egg-shaped head wearing a knitted hat.
"I saw it, I saw the future, I saw you standing in front of Alexander, his face was livid, he, he...
To find out what happens next, Nick, you’ll have to pay to watch.”
"Pay?" Nick's facial features immediately wrinkled together. When he heard that he had to pay, it was more painful than killing him.
or……
Nick turned his head and his eyes fell on Hammer, who had been silent since arriving here.
"Hmph!" Hammer snorted coldly, turned his head and ignored Nick.
"I don't want something as vulgar as money." Charlotte imitated Ancient One and said kindly:
"What I want is the Cosmic Cube that you hid in S.H.I.E.L.D., and after a calculation with my fingers just now, I found that this item is destined to be with me.
A huge disaster is brewing inside the Cosmic Cube. Only if you hand it over to me can we avoid this disaster.
Otherwise, the sun and the moon will be upside down, and all living things will suffer..."
Charlotte shook her head sadly and said:
"Compared to the crisis in Alexandria this time, if the Cosmic Cube is not handed over, SHIELD will be even more likely to be destroyed."
bang——
Frank slammed his fist on the table, glared angrily, stood up, pointed at Charlotte's plain and handsome face and said:
"You are such a charlatan, I have tolerated you for a long time. Aren't you good at predicting the future?"
He pulled out a revolver from his waist and pointed it at Charlotte's left leg as he sat cross-legged.
"I'm asking you now, you should calculate whether your leg will be shot."
Facing Frank's threat, Charlotte didn't care at all. After counting with his fingers, he was sure:
"Not really."
bang——
A bullet hit Charlotte's leg. Looking at Charlotte who remained calm and motionless, Frank felt a little surprised, which then quickly turned into anger.
Seeing that Charlotte seemed to have made up her mind that she would not shoot him, Frank's expression darkened.
"Then let me ask you again, will your leg be shot this time?" As Frank spoke in a stiff tone, infinite murderous intent was released from him, pressing towards Charlotte like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
"No!" Charlotte was still confident.
Frank's eyes narrowed, and he was determined to stop this farce. He aimed at an angle that would be enough to scratch Charlotte's thigh, and pulled the trigger.
bang——
The bullet embedded itself into the ground, but Charlotte remained calm and smiled.
How can this be? !
This time, Frank did not hold back at all. He fired two shots at Charlotte's calf, but Charlotte dodged them easily.
Charlotte said calmly: "No, I won't. Even if I can, I won't!"
Frank gripped the revolver tightly, his expression became more ferocious, and he raised his hand to aim at Hammer's thigh beside him.
"Predict again, will he be shot in the thigh?"
Hammer: ???
Frank: I can't hit him, but can't I hit you!?
Charlotte pinched her fingers, nodded compassionately and said:
"meeting."
Hammer: !!!
"Ha~" Frank sneered and said, "I thought you had..."
bang——
Before he could finish his words, blood burst out from Hammer's thigh.
Raising his hand and putting the muzzle of the gun in front of his mouth, Charlotte blew away the gunpowder smoke on the muzzle and said with a smile:
"If I say yes, I will do it. If I say no, I will do it too!"
"Ah--" Accompanied by a shrill scream, Hammer lay on the ground, covering his thigh, and rolling in pain.
This time, he could pretend to be lame without electric shock.
Gritting his teeth, Frank reached behind his waist, as if intending to continue fighting with Charlotte for another 300 rounds.
"Enough!" Nick, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up. He raised his hand to stop Frank and said:
"Okay, I am willing to give you the Cosmic Cube, as long as you use your predictive ability to successfully help me win..."
"The deal is done! The contract is set, and those who violate it must be punished by being burned with salt!" Charlotte's eyes lit up and he said immediately.
Picking up the teacup, Charlotte poured it on Hammer's thigh. Hammer, who was screaming and rolling around, gradually calmed down. He sat up with a pale face, hugged his injured thigh and said:
"Am I okay?"
"Of course not. This is a painkiller. I told you before that you would be shot, so this shot has become an established fact and no one can change it."
You're the one who shot me! You call this predicting the future?
"Since you can predict the future, why don't you help me predict it?"
Hammer struggled to stand up, covering his thigh, his eyes full of anticipation.
"That's fine." Charlotte pinched her fingers a few times and said:
"You want to step on Tony Stark, don't you?"
Hammer nodded repeatedly with his eyes shining.
"You want your genius ideas to be recognized by the world, right?"
Hammer was overjoyed, clenched his fists and felt relieved.
"You want Tony Stark to admit that he is not as good as you and that you are the smartest person in the world, right?"
"Yes! Yes, have all these futures been achieved?"
"It's done." Charlotte nodded lightly.
The surprise almost overwhelmed Hammer's mind. He even forgot that he was injured. He wanted to grab Charlotte's arm, but Charlotte dodged him. He asked ecstatically:
"What do I do now? How can I accomplish this?"
"It's very simple." Charlotte smiled mysteriously.
"You can go to bed now."
Hammer's expression froze, and he asked unwillingly:
"You mean I just have to wait?"
"No!" Charlotte said coldly:
"I mean you can go to sleep now. You can have anything in your dreams."
