This is not the first time that S.H.I.E.L.D. has been in danger. The psychological quality of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents can fully cope with the crisis, because whether it is education, training or actual combat experience, they have seen the most extreme things that ordinary people in the world can understand. Weird things.But this experience was not one of them. They actually had to operate under the command of a ferocious enemy who had killed many S.H.I.E.L.D. armed personnel. There were no physical threats such as imprisonment or hunger strikes. All surrendered agents except the armed personnel were Released intact, what's even more surprising is that Agent Coulson actually obeyed this order.

This is also what Melinda May can't understand the most.

She repeatedly evaded surveillance cameras and invited Agent Coulson to attend secret gatherings of high-level agents, but Agent Coulson refused every time and worked overtime in the control room, trying to search for traces of Alphonso Mackenzie and his party. Want to retrieve Constantine and the agent selected by the alien bionic robot who has been hiding in the lighthouse base as much as possible.

Melinda May never believed that Agent Coulson would rebel, but out of an underestimation of the enemy's moral limits, she could only believe that the other party controlled Agent Coulson's actions through some ulterior methods.In her eyes, the master of the Guards is evil, a dictator and tyrant who destroys democracy and freedom. The Guards who have reached an agreement with alien bionic robots are even more evil. As for Yinnock's self-reported relationship with Nick... Fury's treaty, Melinda May only regarded it as one of the countless rules that Nick Fury broke. The reason why the agreement was reached was entirely because the alien bionic robot hid his true purpose and deceived The then-S.H.I.E.L.D.

Constantine knew exactly what Melinda May was thinking.

He had read Melinda May's academic report, and through a brief communication (and deliberate irritation), Constantine also knew that Melinda May, like many Europeans and Americans, did not possess any knowledge or common sense related to sociology. He does not have the dialectical materialist way of thinking and is quite stubborn and conceited.It is difficult to get along with such people rationally. Constantine places them on the line between idiots and ordinary people, depending on their behavior. The idiots are classified as red necks and white lefts.

In contrast, Philip Coulson was much easier to get along with, and he easily accepted the emperor's orders.

Perhaps it was because of the experience in San Fernando that Agent Coulson once again believed in the Emperor, or perhaps it was the foresight shown by the Emperor in the past. In any case, Agent Coulson believed that the Emperor's plan would prevent a disaster, even if its methods Unacceptable.Agent Coulson was not unaware of how difficult Nick Fury's job was in the past. Soon after he became director of S.H.I.E.L.D., he realized that he had to make a decision that would dirty his hands (actually only one hand).

But he couldn't make up his mind, and Nick Fury evaluated the Emperor as a person exactly like himself, so he subconsciously agreed to let the Emperor perform those cruel tasks on his behalf.Coincidentally, every time Agent Coulson encountered a problem that he couldn't solve, the Emperor would show up and solve the problem using means that Agent Coulson couldn't accept.

After a few missions, even Agent Coulson didn't realize it, but he was destined to agree with the Emperor's ideas to alleviate his psychological guilt.Without the professional psychiatrist provided by S.H.I.E.L.D., Agent Coulson would never realize this unless he found the opportunity to receive psychological counseling.

"You never told me." He stared at the screen in the control room, which showed the route of a Quinjet returning home, "how many innocent people will die in this mission."

"With any luck, that's zero." Constantine knew Agent Coulson was speaking to him.Part of the psychological analysis report is about the psychological impact of the "wet work" performed by Agent Coulson. That violent mission brought a lot of psychological trauma to Philip Coulson, so Only the Emperor would choose Agent Coulson as a breakthrough point, and intervene in SHIELD affairs in an attitude of taking the initiative to bear the guilt. "If you fail, it will be the entire earth, and no one can escape. There may be survivors, but who will care about this kind of thing at that time. Human beings who have lost all technology and land have no meaning in existence."

"That's a really good reason to numb yourself."

"You plan to start a Tao again

Debate, Agent Coulson? "Constantine said calmly, without any impatience on his expression.He was like a tall metal statue standing in the control room, always remaining calm and collected, even his marble statue-like facial features did not move at all. "If you can't make a decision, it's best to hand over the nuclear bomb button to someone else. You can't exchange other people's right to survival for the moral satisfaction of being moved by yourself. This is why my Lord wants to take over the lighthouse base, because he You are too kind to know that you will never press the nuclear bomb button at a critical moment, but excessive kindness is the same as atrocities or even worse."

Agent Coulson closed his eyes and remained silent, knowing that Constantine was right.

Such conversations must be held at least five times a day, and each time he will get the same answer. Rather than questioning the Praetorian Guards, it is better to say that he is stabilizing his wavering will and using the answers Constant got. Eucalyptus came to comfort himself and prove that there was nothing wrong with his current behavior-it felt quite uncomfortable to deceive his companions. Agent Coulson knew that he could not fully tell Alphonso Mackenzie and his team the truth. After all, the information given by the Immortal Man The statement is really too sensational.After hearing this, Alphonso Mackenzie either concluded that someone was pretending to be him to deceive them, or simply concluded that he had surrendered to the enemy, and they would not return to the lighthouse base in any case.

Only by letting them return to the lighthouse base first could Agent Coulson be sure to convince them.

Because of this, he declined Melinda May's invitation but did not reveal the little party to Constantine.Now the lighthouse base has been controlled by the soldiers of the First Secret Regiment and the Ranger Cavalry, and the Zephyr [-] has also become the flying tool of the other party, continuously transporting more soldiers and scientific researchers here to prepare for the next mission. .

The lighthouse base seemed to become busy overnight. SHIELD's scientific research experts joined the scientific research team composed of Latovinia and Martians without any hesitation and began to study the boulders provided by Yinnock. Mission participants - including Agent Coulson himself - were also given special training on space walking, asteroid belt flight, use of anti-radiation drugs and first aid in space, use of void radar, etc., covering the vast majority of things that humans may encounter in outer space. When he arrived at the situation, he put on a professional attitude, which was completely different from the previous grass-roots team of S.H.I.E.L.D.After all, Constantine would never want agents to rely on the quick wits of some people to survive. What he wanted was a [-]% survival rate, not a thrilling adventure.

Mars technicians even made modifications to Zephyr [-].

Although this modification has greatly reduced the stealth performance of Zephyr-[-], a giant air command base, Zephyr-[-] has a quite powerful radar system.This radar is so sensitive that it allows Zephyr [-] to avoid splashing planetesimals in the asteroid belt. All Melinda May has to learn is how to control the aircraft through radar readings.Now she can only practice on the simulator, but after the mission begins, whether she has mastered this skill or not, she must put it into actual combat, otherwise she will not be the only one who faces death.

It's just that the trained agents don't yet know the use of these skills. They can only accept the training in silence, and then find opportunities to meet to exchange intelligence, summarize all the information, and try to find a way to win.But unfortunately, Constantine did not give them this opportunity. More and more soldiers of the First Secret Regiment and Ranger Cavalry are gradually compressing the activity space of the small group of agents headed by Melinda May. The original patrol gap The originally damaged surveillance cameras were repaired and linked, forcing Melinda May to pass on the meeting location to others before each gathering.

Constantine was very interested in Melinda May's little party, and the latter thought that Constantine didn't notice her little moves.In fact, Melinda May's biggest mistake was that she should not have brought Leopold Fitz and Gemma Simmons into her party. Although these two people were also agents, they did not have the quality and vigilance to become spies. Sex, it was by tracking these two people that Constantine discovered all of Melinda May's actions. The two people did not even notice that Constantine was following them softly when they were walking in the dark passage.

The silent server and vigorous movements make him look like a feline moving in the dark without making any noticeable noise.

The sound is completely integrated with the shadow.He even issued a temporary order to the patrol team of the First Secret Regiment that was about to discover the two men, ordering them to investigate the power supply facility to prevent anyone from discovering Leopold Fitz and Gemma Simmons.

This is not out of the mentality of playing with prey, but because the guard commander wants to see if his security arrangements can withstand the test under the planning of professionals - vested interests all over the world want the emperor to die - -The Commander of the Guards will never allow this to happen, so he will find the most powerful field agents, agents who specialize in "wet work" to test himself. Melinda May's record shows that she is qualified to be an impromptu test tool.

Constantine also figured out one thing while eavesdropping, that is, Melinda May did not seem to find an opportunity to inform Alfonso Mackenda about the current status of the lighthouse base. She seemed to think that Daisy Johnson, "Yo-Yo "After Elena Rodriguez arrives at the Lighthouse Base, SHIELD agents will have the power to fight against the Praetorian Guards. At that time, she will explain her ideas to others, and she also believes that those people will accept her no matter what. way of doing.After figuring out Melinda May's thoughts, Constantine confirmed that Agents of SHIELD *** would be restricted within a certain range, so it was just a small episode in this mission and not worth affecting the entire mission. , just ordered the Ranger Cavalry and the low-level Martian technicians who were subsequently sent here to weld all the prison steel doors of all armed personnel.

Along with the logistics and technical departments, there was also an armed force of the Sisters from the Eternal City.

This 20-person armed team is not entirely for military purposes. Many Sisterhood androids (and ordinary girls) immediately put on maid dresses over their power armor after arriving at the lighthouse base. They replaced the stainless steel pipes in the control room. tables welded with iron plates, and the swivel cylinder chairs that cost $20 each were replaced with exquisite armchairs. Many field agents who had nothing to do were constantly ordered by them to start decorating and wiring some rooms in the lighthouse base. When the lead android was finally satisfied, she began arranging for the other armed men of the Sisterhood to clean and lay the carpet.In addition, there are cans of tea cans with passwords, an assembled cloakroom and dry cleaning room, a large number of clothes in black garment bags, many specially made furniture and a large number of customized daily necessities that look very exquisite.

Everything is revealing an obvious message, that is, a big shot is coming here.Agent Coulson held up a list of what the Sisters had shipped down from the Zephyr 200 throughout the day.More than 100 pieces of ceramic tableware such as cups and plates, more than 50 sets of gold-plated silver tableware, 25 tablecloths with specific patterns, 50 carpets, 3 clothes hangers, [-] steam irons... After reading the long list, Colson Gasped. "Why do these things look like they were prepared for a long vacation?" he protested to Constantine in a low voice. "This is not a resort."

"I cannot question any of my Lord's decisions."

"That's a pretty good excuse." Agent Coulson raised his head and looked at Constantine's expression.Although he couldn't analyze anything through micro-expressions, Agent Coulson still felt something was wrong. "You mean... you're not kidding?"

"Yes, I'm not kidding. My function is to help any decision of our lord to achieve its purpose, not to question these decisions." Constantine said, "This is true for any Custodian. We always know that our lord's foresight is Correct, but due to lifespan and ability limitations, it is difficult for ordinary people to recognize and understand everything they know."

"I can tell you admire him very much."

"Worship? I don't know what misunderstanding you have, Mr. Philip Coulson. My Lord has repeated it many times. He is just an ordinary person with relatively far-sighted and executive abilities. He foresaw the crisis and made many decisions. Something I dare not do. Worship...perhaps ordinary people will worship him because they don't understand, but we will not fall into the ignorance and superstition of worship. That would be the greatest betrayal of my bishop's teachings. Praetorian Guards Never betray, please remember this sentence, Mr. Coulson."
