The knight passing by Marvel

Chapter 571
In the dead silence, the elevator finally reached the floor that Rogers was going to, and the elevator door opened. Before he could take a step, Nick Fury in black came in, and Rogers was taken aback. Didn't he say he was waiting for him in the office? ?Why hasn't he arrived yet, Nick Fury is going downstairs.

Nick Fury walked into the elevator and yelled, "Executive!"

The elevator automatically descended, and the two stood side by side, staring straight ahead.

"I just met Coulson." Rogers' tone was quite flat, as if chatting.

"The numbers have been counted. 330 five soldiers and 72 agents died. The Ministry of the Interior is sorting out their belongings. The death notice will be sent to their families by the FBI, CIA and the military." Nick Fury answered irrelevant questions.

But both of them understood the meaning of both sides. So many secret agents and guards died at once, so they must give an explanation and fulfill their responsibilities. After all, S.H.I.E.L.D. is not a family business run by someone, and S.H.I.E.L.D. Director, there is a Security Council above Nick Fury's head, they can replace the director.

Rogers was indifferent, and it took a while before he said: "He is a good man."

"I know, he is still a very qualified agent."

In the time it takes to speak, the elevator has reached the administrative level. Nick Fury stepped out and left only one sentence: "Captain, in many cases, you can't just look at the surface. People's hearts are very complicated, and people can truly believe it." People, very few."

"Is there anyone you really trust?"

"Maybe!"

The elevator doors closed, leaving only Rogers thinking about what Nick Fury meant. Why did he suddenly mention this? Is it implying Coulson?Did Nick Fury find Coulson untrustworthy?

Just as he was thinking about it, Brock Rumlow's voice sounded in the headset: "Captain, the task has been issued, and I'm already in position, ready to go at any time."

"I'll go right away." Rogers put away his complicated thoughts and focused on this rescue mission. Although he stayed in S.H.I.E.L.D., he seldom went out to work and used it entirely as a trump card, but this mission , not only him, but also the black widow joined in, obviously unusual.

Thinking about it, how could ordinary pirates hijack a SHIELD ship and even demand a ransom?

But as a soldier, even if he has doubts in his heart, he will not give up on the mission. Everything has to wait until the mission returns. Even if it is a rather dishonest mission, for the sake of peace, he will compromise and do it.

In a spacious room on the administrative floor, Coulson sat upright on a chair, with several cameras facing his eyes in front of him, and several wires between his fingers, which were connected to the instruments in the outside room. He is no stranger to the scene.

In other words, all S.H.I.E.L.D. agents are no strangers. They must go through a polygraph test and assessment when they join the job.Not only him, but also those agents who survived Stonehenge will also come to the fore.

A team of several experts is asking weird questions one by one to calibrate the instrument. After a lot of questions are asked, it will be officially started. When I gave an order, what was in my mind at the time, and why I gave such an order.

Nick Fury stood in the room on the second floor, looking at the tests and inquiries below through the one-way glass, Alexander Pierce came over, stopped beside Nick Fury, stared at Coulson below, said : "The Security Council is not easy to deal with. It has been a long time since S.H.I.E.L.D. has not suffered so many casualties, plus damaged equipment, vehicles, and the planes, vehicles, personnel, and materials used to support Stonehenge and rebuild the defense line in an emergency equipment.
At least this number. "

Alexander Pierce stretched out his hand. The unit is one billion US dollars. It is definitely a major accident that cannot be more serious. This is different from the last space carrier attack. It was agreed by the Security Council. How much to make up for the loss. This time the loss is S.H.I.E.L.D. pays for itself, and no matter what, the person in charge cannot escape accountability.

Nick Fury didn't even look at Alexander Pierce, staring at Coulson below, and said, "How long has he been serving S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

"Well, it's been almost 25 years." Alexander Pierce said uncertainly: "He joined S.H.I.E.L.D. and followed you until now."

"Yeah, until now, the best years have been dedicated to S.H.I.E.L.D."

Alexander Pierce sighed helplessly, and said, "Nick, this is not a play. I have read Garrett's report. It should be an accident. After all, space is too mysterious for human beings. It is reasonable to have such an accident.”

Nick Fury finally turned around and said to Alexander Pierce: "I just think he should have his own life. I heard he has a girlfriend who plays the cello. Maybe I should prepare a wedding present."

Alexander Pierce frowned and asked, "Are you sure? He is your most capable subordinate."

"He's approaching retirement age too, so be it."

"Okay," Alexander Pierce said with a sigh, "I will go to the Security Council to convince the Security Council that an old secret agent who is about to retire should also be treated decently, so let's deal with it like this."

In this way, the two decided to retire early as the punishment for this accident. This is not as simple as packing up and leaving. Don’t even think about taking anything related to S.H.I.E.L.D., including memories, the 30 to [-] years of his career as an agent , along with the name disappeared with the wind, except for the secret file of S.H.I.E.L.D., there is no such person as Phil Coulson.

The more than three hours of questioning finally came to an end. The expert team typed out a report with a length of hundreds of pages and walked out. The soldiers standing aside with guns stepped forward to help Coulson take off the guns on his body. The connection line of the instrument brought him outside. Obviously someone wanted to see him, otherwise he would be transferred directly to the detention room and he would not be released until everything was over.

Coulson walked out the door, just opened the door, a gust of cold wind blowing head-on, made Coulson shiver involuntarily after staying in the warm room for several hours, and saw the silver moon like a hook, in the middle of the night, It was extraordinarily bright, and then Coulson noticed Nick Fury, who was standing by a wide-open window in the corridor, with his own night buff.

"Sir, I'm sorry!"

Nick Fury turned his head, and very rarely smiled at the guilty Coulson, and said, "Coulson, you have been with S.H.I.E.L.D. for 25 years."

"Yeah!" Coulson nodded.

"It's been long enough."

Such emotion made Coulson feel a bad feeling in his heart. After being an agent for so long, he didn't see anything. He said in a trembling voice, "Sir?"

Nick Fury nodded silently, causing Coulson's heart to sink to the bottom, his lips were trembling, his throat seemed to be blocked, and he couldn't say a word.

Nick Fury patted Coulson's shoulder vigorously, and said: "Audrey has been waiting for you for so long, it's time to give someone an explanation, I have already arranged it, and it will be your wedding gift, I wish you happiness .”

Coulson tried his best to control his facial muscles and wanted to smile, but what he squeezed out was uglier than crying. After controlling his emotions for a long time, he managed to say a word: "Thank you, sir."

"Hmm!" Nick Fury patted Coulson on the shoulder again, stepped forward, and disappeared at the corner of the corridor, leaving only Coulson standing under the moonlight, staring blankly at the familiar man. Trident headquarters.

Is that the end?In the future, it will no longer be me, but another stranger.

In Coulson's heart, there was no joy in getting out without any punishment, only full of reluctance and sadness. Even if he could live with Audrey in the future, it would not give him any joy.

For more than 20 years, he has already gotten used to the identity of Phil Coulson, a SHIELD agent, who cannot be revealed to outsiders, but all of this will soon become the past, no, all of them will disappear, and he will not even have any relevant memories leave it to him.Turning an agent into an ordinary person who can no longer be ordinary, he has issued such orders many times before, and is it finally his turn today?

With trembling hands, Coulson took out a black hard leather book from his suit, on which was printed a lifelike eagle with wings spread, and stroked the gravure with his fingers full of nothing to do from now on, his voice was low and inaudible Said: "Goodbye, Coulson!"
