Chapter 262 Chapter 260 Short Story

When Coulson and others returned to the air control room, Skye had already found Ian Quinn's address through the Internet, but when he handed the information to Coulson, Skye still did not believe that the person who kidnapped Dr. Hall was Quinn. He couldn't help but said: "Sir, is there any misunderstanding here? Quinn is a good man. His charitable donations are almost 8 billion."

Colson retorted casually while reading the information: "The donated money is earned by draining the earth's resources. He is just a greedy porter of nature."

Skye was stunned for a moment. She was unable to refute Coulson's words. The center of her life was to explore the Internet. Having been in major forums all year round, she knew well the consequences of over-exploitation of the earth's resources.

It’s just that Skye always felt that there was something wrong with Coulson’s evaluation, such as the workers supported by ‘Quinn International’ and the people who had survived the difficulties of survival with the help of Quinn’s donations.

Skye looked at Li Feng, hoping that Li Feng would stand up and say a few words.

Unfortunately, Li Feng not only did not help her prove that Quinn is a good person, but instead complained: "Good people and bad people are not based on how much money the other person donated. How did you get here all these years? You don't even know how sinister people are?"

"Maybe I was lucky and didn't encounter anything dangerous," the optimistic Skye said with a shrug.

Girl, what you said hurts my heart. I don’t have such a thing as luck. Li Feng thought for a while with a dark face and said: "On the topic of good people or bad people, an old man once told me a story and asked a question. I will relay it. Let’s hear it.”

"There is a group of soldiers who obey the king's orders to fight against neighboring countries that are suffering from famine. Along the way, the soldiers will kill anyone who resists, even women and children." After a pause, Li Feng looked at Skye , asked: "Are the soldiers good or bad?"

Skye thought for a while and said: "The soldiers only obey the king's orders. It is the king who is bad."

Li Feng nodded, did not comment, and continued to tell the story: "Every time the soldiers captured a city, the king in the rear knew that the people in the city still regarded themselves as neighboring countries, but still sent people to send food to feed these people who were suffering from famine. People, please tell me, is the king bad?"

Skye was a little confused, shook his head and said: "I don't know, although the king is trying to win people's hearts, but he saved the civilians, should he be considered a good person?"

Li Feng smiled and said: "When the soldiers wiped out half of the neighboring country's population and occupied half of the neighboring country's land, the people of the neighboring country had enough food to survive due to the sharp decrease in population. On the other hand, the soldiers also received support from the king. Order, put down your arms and go home, because the war is over."

"After that, the king treated the people who were once neighboring countries as equals, and concentrated on developing the country's strength, so that the people under his leadership had bread and meat to eat every day." Li Feng looked at Skye seriously and asked: "Tell me, these invaders invaded neighboring countries. When a country kills its soldiers and women and children, should they go to heaven or hell? Where should a king who has brought his people to eat every meal go after his death? "

"Let me remind you, even if the king does not invade the neighboring country, as long as the king of the neighboring country ruthlessly kills half of his people, he can survive the famine."

Skye rubbed her hair frantically and turned to Coulson for help, hoping that Coulson could help analyze it.

Colson was silent for a while and said: "This is politics. It has nothing to do with the quality of people. At least it has nothing to do with the soldiers."

Li Feng curled his lips and said with disdain: "Don't talk about politics. What I'm asking is where will they go after they die? Is it possible that you have to check your political leanings during your lifetime where you will go after death? Those who advocate tax reduction will go to heaven, and those who advocate tax increase will go to hell. hell?"

"Then follow God's arrangements," Colson said with a shrug: "I am only a mortal, and I have no right to choose where to go after death."

This story is what God asked me. Do I dare to answer in front of Him? This is His business and it has nothing to do with me. Li Feng rolled his eyes at Colson and turned to Skye, indicating that Skye would think of the answer himself.

After reading Quinn's information, Coulson put the information aside, sat opposite Li Feng curiously, and asked, "How did you answer it originally?"

Li Feng scratched his head in embarrassment, showed a stiff smile, and whispered: "My answer is to leave it to the judges, they are professionals."

"Who is the judge?" Coulson, who did not understand Chinese mythology, asked confusedly.

Melinda, who knew who the judge was, explained a few words to Colson in a low voice, then rolled her eyes at Li Feng and said, "You obviously asked about heaven and hell, but you dragged me to hell? You are really good at it. I'm curious about what the old man in your mouth would think after hearing your answer."

How could he react? He almost beat me. Li Feng turned his head and looked away, making it clear that he didn't want to answer.

But Skye obviously didn't want to let Li Feng go, and asked coquettishly: "Uncle Austin, just tell me. I'm very curious about how the old man evaluates your answer."

Li Feng glared at Skye who was making trouble, rubbed his face and said, "The old man didn't comment on my answer, but told another story."

"What story?" Skye asked curiously.

"Uh~" Li Feng saw that the people in Colson's team were surrounding him with expressions of "wanting to hear a story", he scratched his eyebrows and said: "The story is related to the farmer. It is about the farmer working all the time to have enough food for his family. Protecting the little food in his farmland, he killed countless voles and birds that came to steal food, and even maimed a homeless man who was stealing food. The old man reminded the homeless man that he eventually starved to death due to his disability, and asked me, farmer What will happen after death? Will you go to heaven for supporting your family, or go to hell for killing living creatures?”

After listening to the story, Skye, who couldn't think of an answer and only felt a pain in his head, scratched his hair and asked, "How did you answer?"

On the sidelines, Coulson felt inexplicably that the old man Li Feng was talking about was not a simple little person. After all, these issues all involve human nature.

For example, in the soldier's story, the king took advantage of the unlucky situation of his neighboring country to start the great cause of expanding the territory. Although after the war, the king concentrated on developing national strength, he did pretty well.

But what about the soldiers who were killed for resisting the invasion? What about women and children? Colson didn't believe the king would record these people in his memoirs.

Perhaps as time goes by, people will only praise the king's saintliness, and no one will take a second look at those dry bones buried under the wheel of history.

As for the farmer's story, although the farmer did not kill the homeless man himself, legally speaking, the farmer still has to bear some responsibility for the homeless man's death.

Moreover, in the eyes of God, a field mouse or a bird creature is a living creature, and has the same status as a homeless person.

Coulson, who thought about the story carefully and pondered the identity of the 'old man', asked curiously: "Yes, where should the farmer go?"

Li Feng spread his hands: "My answer was to ask the farmer where he wanted to go. If he goes to heaven, then the road to heaven should be paved with hellfire. If he chooses hell, then give the farmer a knife and avoid the devil. Then sneak it into hell and let the farmer fend for himself."

Can you still answer like this? Skye was a little confused and asked, "What did the old man say?"

"Old man, tell me to get lost," Li Feng said nonchalantly.

In fact, what Li Feng cared about at that time was not how to answer God's question, but wondering why God asked him whether he should go to heaven or hell.

He is just a mage, not God, so why should he think about who goes to heaven and who goes to hell?

Moreover, God has told countless stories like this, so Li Feng is now full of stories and confused.

"That's the end of the story about good and bad," Li Feng clapped his hands and signaled everyone to stop getting entangled in the story and said, "Now please come up with a plan to rescue Dr. Hall instead of snatching the Graviton."

"Don't say what's on your mind," Colson said angrily, "It's as if everyone is a robber."

After finishing speaking, Coulson pointed to Ian Quayle's information and said: "I have reason to believe that Quinn hijacked Dr. Hall, but Quinn is in the Malta Republic of the Mediterranean and now lives in the original country of that country. The Prime Minister’s residence is protected by laser fences.”

"The trouble is that S.H.I.E.L.D. agents can't enter the Republic of Malta because they can legally kill us if caught."

"In addition, 'Quinn International' will hold a shareholders' meeting this week. There are already various celebrities in or near the former Prime Minister's Palace. Therefore, once we are arrested, SHIELD will immediately sever ties with us."

Finally, Coulson concluded: "In other words, our rescue mission has no internal response, no backup, is life-threatening, and will also cause global public outrage against SHIELD."

"Tch~ I always think SHIELD is easy to mess with." Li Feng, who couldn't help but complain, waved his hand and said, "Let me go. I don't believe that any laser fence can stop me, and who can stop me."

After talking a lot of nonsense, Coulson smiled gently as he waited for your words, turned around and ordered: "Mei, head to the sky above Malta immediately. Others should do what they are supposed to do."

Seeing Colson's neat order, Li Feng stood up and dragged Skye into the wine cabinet after being stunned for a while. He pointed at the wine in the wine cabinet and asked: "Girl, help me find out which bottle of wine is the most expensive. I'll do it now." Drink it."

Skye looked back at the smiling Colson and saw that Colson did not stop Li Feng's behavior. While turning on the computer to check, he smiled and said: "Uncle Austin, are you taking revenge on Colson for setting you up?"

"Nonsense," Li Feng casually opened a bottle of wine, drank it in two or three sips, wiped the traces of wine from the corner of his mouth, and said, "You know why Director Fury of SHIELD has a shiny bald head? It's because Fury likes to be blind when there is nothing wrong. Thinking about it, you who eventually led to baldness were thinking about Coulson's position in Fury's heart, and you were looking at Coulson's hairstyle, so don't look at Coulson's nice face, what a heart."

Coulson touched his hair speechlessly: I'm offending you with my hairstyle, and Fury's bald head was cut by himself. It's not like he can't grow hair.

Moreover, why do I feel that you are not targeting Fury, but a certain bald man?
