Chapter 9

However, it does not.

"I should have thought of it a long time ago. The materials on display must have been carefully reviewed by SHIELD. It is impossible to find information that ordinary people should not know." Angela walked out of the memorial hall angrily, muttering in her heart, "I can find the saber-toothed tiger." And Wolverine? Thanks to the God's perspective of the time traveler, does SHIELD know that they are mutants? The memorial tells the story of the Strategic Science Corps, which is the predecessor of SHIELD today. I think it’s more likely that they don’t know the identities of these mutant brothers, but it’s hard to say based on this alone.”

"I can't continue to think about it. Thinking too much about things that have no real evidence is just trying to get into trouble or falling into conspiracy theories." The advantage of having another personality as a supplement is that Angela always knows what she should do, so she is no longer involved in this matter. Tangled up.

The streets of Brooklyn are far less crowded than those of Manhattan, and Angela can take a leisurely stroll.She was still thinking about what kind of transportation to take back to her apartment, but suddenly she remembered that during the five years she had been studying medicine in New York, she had spent almost all of her time in schools and hospitals, and had not yet taken a good look at the city.While it was still early, she casually boarded a bus full of empty seats, intending to test her fate with the "Big Apple".

She saw that at a time when smart devices had not yet dominated human life, on the artsy streets of Brooklyn Heights, boys and girls carried more music players than there were wildflowers on the roadside.She saw that at a time when mobile phone pixels had not surpassed that of SLR cameras, on the shore of Queens Bridge Park, a young mother taught her children to draw the East River on paper with crayons.She saw the hard-working postman holding bundles of enthusiastic letters outside the Yankee Stadium, which will be demolished in two months.

She felt that many things were about to begin and many things were about to end.

Finally, the bus drove onto the bridge and crossed the Harlem River, and Angela returned to Manhattan.With eyesight enhanced by the Phoenix Force, Angela watched with great interest the exciting games on the basketball court in Rucker Park under the elevated skyline.She saw teenagers who wanted to jump higher than their dreams and run faster than time.

"It's great to be young." 26-year-old Angela was sitting there, looking over with affectionate eyes, filled with the shadow of her 24-year-old self.

Feeling that half of her was still unwilling to experience the age of 25, Angela shook her head and smiled. At this casual glance, Angela saw a street scene that made her happy.

She hurriedly stood up and got off at the next stop, and walked happily across the street to Rucker Park.It was a medium-sized gift shop. Looking through the window, it looked exquisite and decent.It's just that the "Store For Sale" sign affixed to the glass blocks part of the view.

Angela opened the glass door, and the crisp sound of wind chimes rang.

"Welcome, please take your pick." An old and loud voice introduced Angela into the house.

Angela glanced with satisfaction at the dazzling array of small merchandise on the rows of shelves, obviously from various cultural backgrounds.There are beaming Chinese knots, small and cute Japanese guards, beautifully packaged Swiss chocolates, and weird Mayan statues.

"I feel like there's nothing you can't buy here," Angela said after admiring it and walked inside, "Why should such a good store be let out?"

"As you can see," a white-haired but energetic old man walked out from behind the counter, "I am already very old."

"Really, you look like you will live longer than me." Angela walked to the old man's side in small steps, lowered her head and looked at his straight waist.

"Which gift do you like? Young lady, no matter what you buy today, I will give you a [-]% discount." The old man said as he picked up a glass of water. "The [-]% minus will be one for your appearance and one for your appearance." Your courtesy."

"That's great, I want to buy your store."

"puff"

"Calm down, calm down." Angela patted the old man who was spraying water. "By the way, I really envy your lung capacity."

"You remind me of the bullet that blew off my helmet on Omaha Beach." After coughing a few times, the old man finally calmed down his breath, "Little girl, are you serious?"

"Don't look at the fact that my clothes are not expensive. In fact, I am a rich man and will at least become a rich woman soon." Angela helped the old man to a chair and continued, "So you are a veteran."

"That was the glory of my life," the old man's eyes seemed to light up for a moment, "but then it was no longer glorious. I was worried about my daughter's madness in the 60s, and then my wife left me before me, and my grandchildren Working in an industry that I can't understand at all. Oh my god, I always thought that the button was a raised thing on the table that bounced up and down. However, one day my little granddaughter told me that the button was a piece of tapping in the glass screen. Pictures that look stiff. How can young people like this kind of thing that has no touch at all? Sometimes I really worry that they will be completely addicted to the virtual world."

"Haha" Angela squatted next to him and interrupted the old man's endless complaints with a smile, "It sounds like you have lived a perfect life as an American. Not only that, you will also see how people live in the future. What will it become?"

"Ha, you are right. I am about to have great-grandchildren, but they are on the other side of the country. This is one of the reasons why I want to transfer the store."

“Is there any other reason you can tell me about this store?”

"It's nothing special. Don't you want to hear the story of June 1944, 6? It's much more exciting than that. I fainted for a while after my helmet was knocked off. Fortunately, two people dragged me behind a bunker in time. Their accents sounded like Canadians. Then I followed them forward. I really doubted whether they were artificial super soldiers like Captain America. I saw bullets hitting them with my own eyes, but they still ran. They had to fly very fast, leaving the friendly forces far behind. But as a young man, I followed them closely. Together we destroyed more than 6 machine guns and more than ten bunkers. I know many people don’t know this. What is the most glorious moment in my life, but fortunately I know mine is the moment when I chased their figures. My adrenal glands have never been as excited as that time. After I realized it, we won, But I never saw them again."

"They're gone"

"Yes, I heard that a Canadian unit was soon sent to other battlefields. Maybe they went too. I'm not worried about whether they will survive, they will definitely, so I hope very much that there will be a chance. See them again”

"I used to be a doctor," Angela stood up and smiled at the old man on the chair. "I can tell you clearly that people's lifespan is getting longer and longer, but the world is getting smaller and smaller."

"Ah, good girl," the old man responded to her smile, "If you can really inherit this place, I won't be relieved. By the way, you just asked about this shop. I'm sorry, please forgive me. Human verbosity.”

"Don't say that," Angela patted the old man's shoulder, which was still as hard as iron. "Although I haven't been practicing medicine for a long time, I can tell you that you are the healthiest person of this age group I have ever met. "

"If you say that again, I won't be able to leave," the old man laughed happily. "After she left a few years ago, I got seriously ill. The doctor suggested that I go out more. So I walked a long way to come here. After traveling to the east coast, I stopped here and felt it was time to take a rest. I sat on the street and in front of me was a young man who had just finished playing basketball. He was nervous in the corner facing the wall. I shouted to him, Hey, have you smoked too much? He turned his head and came over shyly and told me that he was going to confess to a girl here tomorrow while he was practicing. What do you want to express to the Spalding in his hand? I asked He, and then the way he scratched his head, was exactly the same as when I was young. I decided to help him, but we walked for a long time before we found a suitable necklace. In this way, I found a business opportunity in this park, How many girls were secretly eyeing a certain boy off the court, and how many boys were deliberately working hard for a certain girl on the court. So, I rented this place and converted it into a gift shop."

"So what happened to the boy and girl?"

"Working in my shop, what else can I do? The necklace is so expensive, he couldn't afford it at the time."

Angela was speechless immediately, feeling as if some beautiful artistic conception was defeated by the utilitarian reality.

"Did you see the laser engraving machine and the lathe?" The old man pointed inside and continued, "That's where they work."

"Where are they now?"

"Their dreams have blossomed, and so has love." The old man sighed, "So I left. I really should have deducted the money for the necklace from their salary. This is a creative gift shop, but now I My hands can no longer hold those tools.”

"So, another reason why you left is that you can't find other employees."

“It can be found, but no one does it as well as they do”

"So, you think, it's better to leave here too."

"That's right, do you really want to take over this store? You know, the economy is not in recession right now."

"Similarly, the rent won't be too high."

"What's your name, young girl?"

"My name is Angela."

"Angela, this name really suits you. Listen to me. Angela, you only need to pay the taxes and fees stipulated by the government's laws. You don't need to pay me any additional transfer fees."

"How can this be done? I can't"

"Angela" the old man interrupted her, "As I said just now, this store originated from an encounter I had. I didn't open a gift shop, but God gave it as a gift. Me. I have gained a lot from here and cannot be greedy for more when I leave. And a young doctor like you who interrupts his career must have some unavoidable reasons. I believe that God needs to lend me a hand at this moment. I pass this gift on to you.”

"I" Angela was so moved that she was speechless.

"Don't think so well of me, little girl, if I give it to you as a gift, I will have to pay a lot of tax, so I think it's better for you to spend the money."

"Haha" Angela laughed at the success, "If you suddenly miss the East Coast again one day in the future, welcome to come back and have a look, I will always stay here."

"Well, that's right, I will definitely come over one day to investigate. You must not mess this up." After the old man finished joking, he returned to seriousness and continued: "The leasing affairs of this commercial area are handled by the nearby The management of the law firm has already drafted a transfer agreement for me. After we sign it, you can just go to them tomorrow. The firm is probably closed now. "

"Okay, why don't you come with me tomorrow?"

"No, tomorrow's special ticket is the cheapest."

"Then one last question, do you have any experience you want to impart to me?"

"When someone asks to return something, you tell him that the gift is not his, but someone else's. He just hasn't found the person he is going to give it to, but he will definitely find it."

"I understand, once sold, there are no refunds."

"That's the spirit." The old man smiled and blinked.
