As the "father" of the intelligence agency of the British Empire government, mi1909, which has existed since 6, has never been mysterious—of course, the main reason may be that villains all over the world can call out the name of a star agent.However, as a secret logistics Q branch that provides agents with all kinds of weird equipment, it is always quite low-key and secretive due to the personal preference of the chief.
The premise is that when they are not indulging in the work at hand.
"Walter ppk, front fixed front sight, automatic safety device, the shape of the grip and magazine chamber are similar, aluminum gun body..."
Picking up the firearm he was modifying from the workbench, the youngest quartermaster of mi6 introduced it to the brown-haired boy in front of him without hesitation, with a frenzied obsession flashing in his eyes:
"The most important thing is - it is also equipped with the most advanced palmprint recognition system, which cannot be used by anyone except the owner himself... In this way, more chances of survival can be created for field personnel, so as not to let them die under their own weapons."
"So, a safety mechanism?" Leaning back into the soft armchair, fiddling with a dark fountain pen rather casually.West raised his head lazily, and a smile flashed in his gem-like blue eyes:
"Always reveal this to me. You have already violated the confidentiality regulations of secret agents, q?"
"That thing is useless to you."
Pushing the glasses, although what West said is indeed the truth, Q obviously doesn't care about it. After all, if this young man wants to know some secrets, there is no one in mi6 who can stop him.Rather than wasting time on taking preventive measures that are useless, it is better to just communicate with him directly... Anyway, mutants usually don't need these small technologies, and Q is more willing to use them than partners who use each other Treat West as a pure communication object.
Thinking of this, the black-haired quartermaster put down the ppk that was about to be modified.He didn't express any dissatisfaction with the boy who had taken his place, instead he dragged his precious computer over the table and sat opposite him.
At that time, it had been some days since West fully recovered.Like the wounds on his body, it didn't take much effort to replenish the lost energy. On the third day after Magneto left in a hurry, he was able to carry out some recovery training, and gradually took charge of all his needs in mi6—— One way of saying is that Q is familiar with the Quartermaster of 'Total Surveillance'.
At the same time, he also began to understand some of the reasons why mi6 wanted to attack Constant Manor from Q.
In fact, as the leader of the black forces in the British Empire, Conston Manor had a lot of records in MI6.Especially in recent years, Mrs. Aurora has vigorously developed the smuggling business and has a close relationship with foreign subversive forces, which has become a serious problem that must be taken seriously.Especially after colluding with Yi Laizhe, it can be regarded as a blatant anti-humanity...Let's not talk about the political and economic threat of the Conston family to the British Empire, but only those reformed people who smuggled in for Dr. Yi And bionic warriors, it is enough for them to trample on the lives of ordinary people in London.
At the same time, considering that most of Dr. Yi's funds come from the Conston family, Hydra seems to have plans to develop its power in the UK based on this.After considering various factors, the X-Men and the Avengers also unanimously agreed to assist mi6 in this vote. Wester will act as the sole agent and cooperate with Magneto to deal a devastating blow to Dr. Yi and Hydra's forces in the UK .
As for West himself, it would be even more persuasive... As long as it can seriously hurt Yi Laizhe, he is very willing to do anything.What is it compared to being under the command of MI[-], being watched, being used by each other, etc.?
—It's scary to think about it that way.
Fingers tapped on the keyboard a few times, lightly preventing a hacker attack on the mi6 core database. Q pushed his glasses, recalling the murderous intent and hostility buried deep in his eyebrows not long ago when the brown-haired boy agreed to cooperate without hesitation.Although he didn't quite understand the grievances between him and the target of this mission, it was enough to feel the deep-rooted obsession.
This feeling is like a lion that has lost everything and is on the verge of extinction. Once it is provoked, it will end endlessly.
Thinking lightly, the youngest quartermaster of mi6 raised his head, his eyes were sympathetic and complicated.
Because there is nothing to lose anymore, no matter what kind of future he has, that young man has become numb to it-he may only be able to do this one thing in his life, no matter what is in front of him, he will absolutely Will not let go.
So crazy, so sad.
Looking at those shockingly deep blue eyes, Q felt that he seemed to be bewitched by pity
"buddy."
Suddenly, a clear and slightly hoarse voice crashed into the black-haired quartermaster's lingering thoughts.West put down the pen that had been slightly warmed by Mrs. Wen in his palm, and looked back without any suspicion, as if he didn't care about being looked at so carefully.
He knew what Q was thinking, even without using his telepathic abilities.Although he seldom takes the initiative to explore the world of ordinary people, it does not mean that he has never understood the word human nature in those long and lonely times.At the age of 17, fate made him embark on a completely different path, and gave him the capital to break the mystery of time. He didn't need anyone to sympathize with him, to judge the choices he made.
Even if it will be proven wrong in the end.
"So, what's the matter with you looking for me today?"
I don't want to be entangled in this issue anymore, and I have already enjoyed enough of the silence born for him in the Q branch.West clasped his hands and laid them casually on his knees, and finally remembered that it seemed that it was time to get down to business.
Knowing that his previous gaze might be too explicit, Q used the movement of holding up the mug to cover up the momentary unnaturalness on his face, but followed the steps given by the boy:
"007 is coming back... Oh, I forgot to mention that he is your partner in this operation... There is also a special consultant I invited may also be here today. As the first cooperation partner, you are always going to Let’s meet and get to know each other better.”
Q mentions that the ending of '007' is very subtle, and it seems to be gnashing his teeth, but there should be something else, but West's attention is obviously more focused on the 'special advisor' in his mouth.I don't know if it's the intuition of the psychic, but he always feels that this so-called "consultant" may not be as simple as what Q said - he can be "invited" by mi6, and he can be a quartermaster "extremely smart and intelligent" He also needs to have a good understanding of the case of the Conston family. He really has to think and feel familiar with this person's statement.
"q..."
He opened his mouth, wanting to get some more detailed information from the quartermaster.But before West finished speaking, all the lights in branch Q suddenly went out, and the alarm rang.At the same time, there was an earth-shattering explosion sound from the outside of the metal door that required a fingerprint code to open, and before everyone could react, it was smashed to pieces like that!
"*!!What happened!!"
Shocked by the aftermath of the explosion, all internal organs were tumbling, and he fell to the ground dizzy. Q suppressed his discomfort and asked loudly, just about to stagger and support the table to get up, but was thrown to the ground by West, just in time to avoid a string of bullets that grazed his scalp.
Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of clear gunshots from the branch gate and various corners.
By this time, everyone also understood that this was obviously an attack completely aimed at the Q branch.
"Damn!!"
It never occurred to me that someone would have the guts to attack mi6's secret logistics. In addition, most of the q branches are technical geeks who have not received special training. Although they will not be in chaos in the face of such sneak attacks, they can't do anything. Effective responses...in other words, almost all lambs to the slaughter.If the enemy captures the q branch, whether it kills them all or takes the personnel in the q branch as hostages to confront mi6 other agents, things will go in an uncontrollable direction-these technical geeks who stand at the apex of high technology , no matter which one is lost, it is a major blow to mi6.
——What the hell are those idiots in charge of security doing to let the enemy walk in like this! !
Because of the gunshot wound, his field of vision was completely blurred, but the gunshots that symbolized death in his ears still did not stop, and tended to spread to the surroundings.Knowing that those directions are where the branch's logistics agents are, Q cursed secretly, probably knowing that his worst guess might come true... These attackers never wanted to survive from the very beginning.
Tentatively, he stretched out his hand and held the unmodified ppk on the table in the palm of his hand.The black-haired quartermaster covered his mouth to prevent inhaling the thick, poisonous gas in the air, and kept his mind set, ready to shoot anyone who touched him.
However, soon, before he opened the safety deposit, a hand was placed on his shoulder from behind.
"Mi6 is really leaking everywhere, q?"
Without any effort, West pressed the muzzle of the gun that was turned towards him. West leaned over and looked at the guarded quartermaster who was huddled behind the workbench. There was teasing and resignation in his tone, but he didn't have the same seriousness or dignity like Q. fear.
No wonder West is so relaxed.After all, to him, this level of attack is like a child's play... No, it should be said that the children in Xavier's school are much more dangerous than this.
Why are mutants rejected by ordinary people?It's not just because they have power beyond common sense and are unrestrained, they will be feared by others.
Shaking his head to signal the quartermaster to be relieved, West did not delay any further.Just thinking about it, in an instant, the smoke filling the Q branch seemed to be attracted by something, and gathered into a small air mass on the boy's flat outstretched palm.But in a moment, the figure of the opponent who was originally concealed was fully revealed, exposed to the eyes of Q and others.
At this time, everyone also noticed that in the air in front of them, there were countless bullets shining with metallic luster floating scatteredly, some of which were still slightly steaming.Obviously, when the first shot was fired, all the bullets fired by the assailants at the Q branch were locked by West, not only did not cause any damage to his own people, but also pointed at the heavily armed assailants. With just one command, they will pass through their own vital parts, and there is no possibility of survival.
"So, let's talk about what's going on here, shall we?"
With a slight movement of his finger, the attacker closest to him rose into the air, and it was difficult to move even if he was imprisoned in midair.West sneered and put his index finger on his temple, invading the man's brain in the blink of an eye, opening all his memories in front of his eyes.
"It's from the Conston family. There are insiders in mi6." Ignoring the man's distorted pale face because of the forced synchronization of consciousness, the brown-haired boy moved his fingers and turned his head.His expression was as calm as ever, and he was familiar with the means, and he didn't show any signs of being at a loss because of such unexpected situations.
For a moment, everyone in the branch was stunned.
"Ah... well, thank you."
Although he knew that it was impossible for his superiors to choose an idiot to cooperate with Bond, he was also shocked by West's ability.Always calm and composed, Q unconsciously got stuck for a few seconds, then came back to his senses and sincerely expressed his gratitude.
"It's nothing." Shaking his head, West smiled gently.
"Then, leave these people to us..."
Looking around, his eyes swept over the attackers who were trapped by the airflow, Q turned his head slightly, and put his precious computer back on the workbench.But when he raised his head again and wanted to say something to West, he suddenly found a guy behind the boy stretching his hand towards the detonator on his waist with difficulty.And because it was in a blind spot behind him, West's attention was focused on talking to him again, and he didn't seem to notice anything unusual.
"Be careful--!!"
It is too clear about the power of explosives on such terrorists. Once detonated, it is enough to raze the entire Mi6 to the ground. Q picked up the ppk that had just been put back on the table, and pulled the trigger without even having time to aim.
"boom!!"
After all, unlike the 00 agents, his bullets missed every shot, and in such a critical situation, his bullets naturally missed.But after the gunshot, the attacker who had the opportunity to pull the entire Q branch could never touch the detonator again—two bullets from different directions penetrated deeply into his skull between his brows and temples, Almost in the blink of an eye, there is no life left.
"Let's leave it to the professionals next time to shoot."
Raising his eyebrows, West, who had just ended the enemy's life with a bullet, looked up at the blond agent at the gate who shot at the same time as him, with a strange expression on his face.
Putting down the gun, 007, who was also aiming extremely accurately, smiled lazily, with a hoarse and sexy voice in his low voice.
"Bond."
Nodding his head, it was a greeting to Mr. Agent. Q then turned his gaze to behind him, and his attention was obviously more focused on the two figures following him.
And West's expression became even more unpredictable.If he remembered the brain waves correctly, then that person...
"It's really dangerous, little brother."
Holding a black umbrella in his hand, he looked at the mess everywhere with disgust.Mycroft stepped through the door first, and greeted the black-haired quartermaster who couldn't help rolling his eyes, with a false smile on his face: "It seems that mi6 really needs a little rectification."
"Come on, Mycroft. Your bastards aren't much better."
Unbuttoning the dark blue scarf around his neck, the black-haired detective snorted coldly, and then walked into the door.After looking around, his eyes quickly fell on the brown-haired boy in the middle of the room, and his expression suddenly became full of interest.
"I think, I'm starting to look forward to this job a little bit."
……I knew it.
Being stared at by the sharp eyes of the detective made hairs all over.The corners of West's mouth twitched, and like Q, he also rolled his eyes at the ceiling in a hopeless manner.
——The consultant invited by mi6, it is said that the guy who is extremely intelligent and has done a lot of research on the Conston case, who else can there be besides Sherlock Holmes? ! !
The premise is that when they are not indulging in the work at hand.
"Walter ppk, front fixed front sight, automatic safety device, the shape of the grip and magazine chamber are similar, aluminum gun body..."
