[Comprehensive Anglo-American] Absolute Center

As a luxury apartment, Xie Jinsi is equipped with user-friendly configuration, and there are exclusive elevators above the 60th floor - the residents need more private protection, most of them are from the military or political background, and need a simpler elevator to socialize.

Anna took the elevator down to the first floor, changed to the next elevator and went up again. Thinking of Neil's unknown situation, she opened the business card in her hand. There was a long list of unit names on it. Other than that, there was only a name and a series of numbers.

A ding indicates arrival.

There are three households on the first floor of a large-scale apartment on the 35th floor. She lives in 3503. She has been living in school before, and finally waited until she was an adult to receive her parents' inheritance from her uncle and bought this property.

She was originally the only resident on this floor, but recently the next door, 3502, is undergoing renovations, and new neighbors will probably be added.

The door is unlocked with fingerprints, the residence is decorated in an open style, and the bedroom, bookcase, dining room, etc. are all in one large space without any separation from each other, except for the bathroom. There is no separate room, which is extremely spacious.

Gray walls and white furniture, the room is simple and clear. She took off her black cotton jacket and went into the bathroom to wash off the freshly stained perfume alcohol.

I came out wrapped in a thick velvet bathrobe, the balcony wind blows the curtains, and I entered the door coldly. The weather in October has become more and more like late autumn after several rains. It seems that winter will come very early this year.

Walking to the desk and turning on the computer, he found out the phone number and was quickly connected after a beep. A surprised voice came from the phone, "Hello, Miss Anna, what's the matter?"

She connected her phone to the computer, turned on the speakerphone and said, "Mr. Coulson, I forgot to ask, where are you going to take Neil, the police station, or the research institute?"

There was a moment of silence, as if telling people to move carefully, "We are heading to 45 Park Avenue, East 200th Street."

Anna tapped the keyboard lightly and quickly with her fingertips, and stopped thinking when she heard the words, "Stark Tower?"

To be precise, the Avengers Base, since the New York War, Mr. Stark has transformed the building to provide daily work activities for combat partners.

"That's right. But I don't recommend you to visit your friend, because it is very possible that he is no longer what he used to be." Coulson answered vaguely.

At this time, the big computer screen jumped out of the screen, and Anna quickly ended the conversation, "Okay, thank you for your reminder."

After finishing speaking, she quickly hung up, looking at the dense information displayed on the screen, she wanted to frown.

What is displayed on the screen is the five-level confidential information of the Homeland Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency, or S.H.I.E.L.D. Humans with star genes activate their blood vessels to obtain various superpowers.

The crystal is safe to put, once broken, it will emit poisonous mist. The poisonous mist has no effect on ordinary humans, but if it comes into contact with a person with alien blood in the belt, it will be wrapped in a stone cocoon, which is the phenomenon of petrification .

It is said that such items would not appear in ordinary households. However, during a mission, a box full of Terrigen accidentally fell into the deep sea. The Terrigen that fell into the sea escaped poisonous mist and polluted the sea area along the ocean current, causing a large number of marine life Carries Terrigen Elements.

Problematic marine organisms are caught unconsciously by humans, and they are made into various commodities such as isinglass and vitamins, which are sold all over the United States. It is obvious that the vitamin capsules that Arthur brought tonight are one of these problematic products.

Alien blood and superpowers? Anna turned her attention to the six-foot-long old wooden box hanging on the opposite wall, which contained a walking stick left by her father.

Knock knock, someone knocked on the door.

Look at the time in the lower right corner of the screen, it's 54:[-], who will knock on the door at this time?Strictly speaking, no one should knock on her door at any time.

Although she has been studying in New York for six years, she has never had any particularly familiar friends. The only one she keeps in touch with is Neil. Something happened in front of me.

It is common sense to say that petrification is equal to death, but when she came into contact with it, she felt that there was a trace of distinctive vitality spreading in Neil's body at a uniform speed. Now, that "vitality" is the alien gene of growth.

There is nothing I can't accept after seeing too much. A few years ago, a huge alien army attacked New York. The heroic unit led by Captain America fought in the sky and land. The battle was raging, the broken streets, and the panicked crowd. The government spent several months to appease the order. It was barely enough to restore New York City to its former order and calm.

At that time, she was still living in the school dormitory area. The middle school of the school was built in Riverdale, the northernmost part of New York, away from the combat area, but looking up at the dark wormhole in the far dome, she could still feel the oppression from the sky.

Human beings are so vulnerable in the face of extraterrestrial disasters, even if they don’t want to admit it, the fact is that life seems tenacious in some situations, but it is extremely fragile in the context of the entire universe.

This kind of fragility reached a critical point when encountering an unknown terrorist force from outside the sky. People trembled and curled up, unable to choose to lose their resistance. She looked down at her hands. If Neil had just offered help more actively, Neil might not have melted away. Make a stone cocoon, waiting for the "alien alien race" who doesn't know what it will look like.

The knock on the door sounded again, she turned off the screen with excessive information, changed her bathrobe into a white velvet nightgown, and opened the door.

A young man was waiting outside the door, with a light gray round neck T-shirt covering his perfect figure, black casual trousers, and a pair of thin cotton slippers on his feet.

The other party was much taller than her, and she only reached his chest. Anna didn't deliberately look at it, but just stayed inside the door: "Hello?"

"Hello, new neighbor." The other party's voice was gentle and slightly deep. It was a nice young man's voice, but...a bit familiar.

Anna looked up and met a pair of beautiful blue eyes. He was handsome and friendly. He was tall and slender, with an outstanding temperament.

Mr Captain America.

Her first reaction was surprise. She was surprised at how high the salaries of government military and public servants are now. The cost of this small landmark apartment is not low.

Only then did she realize that a famous historical figure in the museum appeared in front of her.

A representative of the American spirit who has led countless heroic battles since World War II, and even confronted alien threats head-on, or more realistically, the other party frequently appeared on the school electronic screen to urge them to study——Looking at this familiar young face, Anna slightly Startled.

"Or can I go in and sit?" Steve asked.

"Yes, of course." Anna stepped aside and asked the other party to enter the door. The real Captain America walked with the same gallantry as the military uniform at the news commendation meeting.

Steve was also looking at her. She looked fourteen or fifteen years old, very well-behaved, wrapped in a nightgown, showing a white and almost transparent wrist, holding a glass of warm water in front of him.

He thanked him with a smile, saw that the other party was nervous, and began to feel sorry for the late night interruption, he shouldn't knock on the door at this time, or it's okay to knock on the door, but he shouldn't enter the door, but it's not appropriate to get up and go out now.

"I heard from the decorator that you live alone, aren't your parents here?" Steve could only keep smiling, trying to make the atmosphere less tense, "Are you in middle school?"

"Yes, sir, I'm in high school. My parents... are out of town." Anna stood quite a distance away, and even wondered if she should ask the other party to wait a while before going into the bathroom and changing into a formal suit before coming out.

Steve smiled kindly: "Are you still used to your life?"

"Get used to it." From these few sentences, Anna could see that the captain seemed to have other intentions, and wanted to get answers from herself, but the only thing she could pay attention to was, "You want to know what happened upstairs, right?"

Steve didn't make a detour, and said frankly, "Yes, I saw you coming back from the next elevator in the hall downstairs."

Then he must have seen the staff of S.H.I.E.L.D. Coulson said that they were going back to Stark Tower, and he could wait until working hours to ask about it, why did he ask her specially.

Steve showed a helpless expression, "There was a smart kid who lost his temper, and I went out to avoid the limelight. As you can see, I live next door now."

Smart kid?Anna was silent for a moment, and roughly told the other party what she saw at the scene—someone drank vitamins and turned into stone.

If nothing happened to Neil, she would not try to track information and hack into the S.H.I.E.L.D. system. This kind of illegal behavior of spying on privacy will be checked by the water meter someday, so I only describe the scene and do not express opinions.

Fortunately, after the other party asked about this matter, he put it away after thinking for a while with a serious expression, and comforted her, "Are you scared? Don't worry, they won't do anything to your friend. If there is no accident, you will start school in a few days." you can see..."

"Neil." Anna reminded.

"Yes, you will be able to meet Neil." After Steve asked what he wanted to know, he got up and patted Anna on the shoulder, "Study hard."

Anna's mind suddenly flashed the short film "Captain America Encourages You to Study Hard to Be a Useful Person" shown at the opening ceremony.

"Forget to introduce yourself, Steve Rogers." Steve added dully before the other party closed the door.

A formal introduction is required due to politeness, but in fact the other party doesn't need to make a fuss at all, they have memorized this name since they were young.

Instead, reminding her to remember to state her name, Anna stood up straight, as if introducing herself in the opening class: "Hello, Anna Chaos."

A Nordic surname, originally for European girls.

Steve nodded, walked a few steps and stopped, turned around and asked, "Anna, are there any restaurants or supermarkets around here?"
