Chapter 61: The extraordinary points surged late at night

"When did you get in touch with Maria Hill?"

"...What do you mean by getting in touch?"

The night in New York is very quiet.

But it is especially quiet tonight.

After the news of vampires appearing in New York City broke out today, New Yorkers tonight, or more precisely, Manhattanites, returned home earlier than ever before, closed the doors and windows, and stayed at home.

However, I heard that the number of people hanging out in Queens, especially in the gathering place of black people, has increased significantly tonight.

Locke, who was wearing pajamas, and Natasha, who was also wearing a silk pajamas, were sitting on the sofa, sipping red wine and chatting.

It was not just Nick Fury who was curious about when Natasha became Maria Hill's person.

Locke was also curious.

He glanced at Natasha, the black widow, who was leaning on his shoulder in a lazy manner, and expressed his doubts.

"I remember you said that you were recommended to S.H.I.E.L.D. by Barton, right?"

"That's right."

"Barton is Nick Fury's agent, right?"

"Yes."

Natasha nodded.

Hawkeye Clinton Barton was born in 1970. He is a child from a single-parent family. When he was 14 years old, he showed his gifted archery skills and was observed by Nick Fury. Then in 2004, Nick Fury recruited Clinton Barton to become a field agent.

Whoever recruits is responsible.

So, Hawkeye is Nick Fury's man, there is no doubt about that.

Locke asked curiously: "Then you shouldn't be Nick Fury's agent too, how come you are connected with Maria Hill."

Natasha sat up straight on the sofa: "When did I become Nick Fury's agent?"

"Didn't Hawkeye recommend you to SHIELD?"

"Yes."

Natasha nodded, then looked at Locke: "It's a recommendation, not a recruitment. It's not the same thing for Hawkeye and I to enter SHIELD."

Locke raised his eyebrows.

Recruit?

Recommend?

"What do you mean?"

"I was indeed recommended by Hawkeye, but I knew Maria Hill before Hawkeye."

This is the first time I've heard of this.

Locke also adjusted his sitting position and faced Natasha, curiously eating melons.

"You know Maria used to work in the military, right?"

"Commander of the Virginia Military Base?"

This was Maria Hill's position in the military before she joined SHIELD, and this is also the reason why she was able to join SHIELD and serve as the commander.

In a word, professional!

But...

Natasha smiled and shook her head.

"No, before that."

"Before..."

Locke raised his eyebrows, his eyes slightly moved up, and began to recall the relevant information he found with the identity of old Underwood.

After a while.

Locke came back to his senses.

"CID?"

"Yes."

CID, the full name of the United States Army Criminal Investigation Division, is an internal department of the Army, and its right is to investigate any Army crime incident worldwide.

Natasha then told how she and Maria Hill met.

At that time, Natasha was still in the Red Room, and Maria Hill had just joined CID.

As a newly joined law enforcement officer, Maria Hill was naturally assigned to an overseas military base as a resident investigator.

But where there is the United States, there are Russians.

No.

That's how the two met.

Locke waited for a long time, and after confirming that Natasha seemed to have finished speaking, he took a breath.

"Is that all?"

"Yeah."

"..."

Locke looked at Natasha who nodded suspiciously.

Natasha smiled slightly: "Although I really want to tell you what happened next, I'm sorry, I can't say it."

Locke smacked his lips: "Okay."

He wanted to hear gossip, but he didn't rush to break the casserole to ask the bottom of it.

"So, you didn't join SHIELD because of Hawkeye's recommendation, but because Maria Hill was in SHIELD, so you accepted Hawkeye's recommendation?"

"Not really."

Natasha thought and shook her head: "At that time, after Hawkeye and I blew up the Red House, I wanted to find a place to live in seclusion. Hawkeye happened to recommend me to join SHIELD, so I went there at that time."

Locke noticed Natasha's expression when she was talking.

Although all these years have passed, Natasha still had a trace of hostility and hatred on her face when she talked about the Red House.

Natasha became the top agent today because of the Red House.

But the Red House destroyed her most precious right as a woman.

Giving birth.

This is the greatest right of women.

Because for women, having a husband does not mean having a home. Having their own children is the real home.

Locke thought in his heart, and calmly put his hand around Natasha's shoulders.

Natasha moved closer to Locke and listened to the powerful heartbeat coming from Locke's chest.

Neither of them spoke, just leaning on the sofa.

A handsome man and a beautiful woman, a peaceful life.

The living room was very quiet, so quiet that one could even hear Locke's heartbeat and Natasha's breathing.

Time seemed to have stopped at this moment, and even space was frozen at this moment.

However, at such a warm moment, the prompt sound suddenly sounded in Locke's mind, destroying the beauty of this moment.

『Ding! 』

『Successful killing, obtained extraordinary points... 5! 』

『Successful killing...』

『Kill...』

『...』

『Successful killing, obtained extraordinary points: "2"』

『Current extraordinary points: "429"』

The last time the extraordinary points increased so much was the last time.

After he let go of the ambitious vampire Quinn, when Quinn arranged his own people to take the position and eliminate dissidents a few days ago, the extraordinary points ushered in a big explosion.

It directly increased from 301 to 398.

Then this morning, the Blade Warrior killed the three SWAT team members who were assimilated into vampires because of being bitten by vampires in New Amsterdam, giving him three points.

But this time?

401 soared to 429?

"Hiss!"

Locke subconsciously took a breath of cold air and moved slightly.

Natasha, who was lying quietly in Locke's arms, opened her eyes and stood up from his arms.

"What..."

"Ding-ling-ling!"

Natasha's words hadn't been finished yet, and Locke's phone rang.

Locke took out his phone and glanced at the incoming call.

Answered.

"Locke Underwood."

"Sir, the satellite image shows that someone is attacking the repair warehouse where the Blade Warrior is located."
