Chapter 3 You Can’t Say You’re Bald Just because Your Hairline Is High

On a remote street in Midtown Manhattan, New York, this place has always been famous for its gourmet food. A variety of gourmet food can satisfy the needs of most foodies in the world. Of course, the price is certainly not affordable by ordinary people.

The law and order here is relatively good, and the unique business and financial investment environment makes the population relatively dense. It is already noon off work time, the benches in the street, and restaurants are full of people of all kinds, these elites who have just taken a nap after get off work, or senior executives from a certain company are enjoying their superior Uwo Life.

However, compared to the crowded situation of other shops, there is an ice cream shop that is quite different. There is only one little girl in this store who is immersed in eating a big cup of ice cream. Even if there are a few passers-by who want to enter the store to enjoy the cool summer, they are all rejected by the store owner and told that the store has been closed today. The place is reserved, and no other customers will be accepted.

"Hello! Is there anything special about the target?" There were three people sitting on a street bench not far from the shop. They were Phil Coulson, Melinda, and A S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, don't mind too much about the name of the character. It was Coulson who was talking. At this time, he was holding two unique gold coins. It is said that he "exchanged" them from an ice cream shop owner. Anyway, the exchange process would not be too pleasant for the shop owner.

"So far, no! The target has been eating ice cream since nine o'clock in the morning until now, um! There are also some snacks! Yes, if I remember correctly, it should be the fourth cup now." Responsible The monitoring agent replied. He secretly calculated an account in his heart, and combined with the consumption level here, he felt that this little girl ate a week's salary in one morning! Looks like a kid from a rich family! Ordinary people really can't afford it!

"Have you also investigated this gold coin?" Coulson played with the gold coin, but couldn't tell what it was. Well, he obviously didn't know any of the patterns and words on it, so he had no choice but to pass them to the side. Melinda looked over curiously.

"Yes, I scanned the gold coins when I got them in the morning, and the data model and material analysis have been sent to the intelligence analysis department of the headquarters. However, according to the latest news they just received: through comparison, these gold coins should not belong to the Any one that has appeared in human history, at least in our S.H.I.E.L.D. database, is not the same or similar. Moreover, even our language experts have no clue about the above text. Most importantly, after testing, they The year is very long! It even far exceeds the history of civilization known to mankind, which is obviously impossible! So..., you should see for yourself!" The agent said, and handed Coulson a A communication tool similar to a tablet computer, with the latest situation just sent back by the intelligence analysis department on the top and bottom.

"Okay, maybe we can have a good talk with that little girl. Has she ever lost control of her emotions or tended to be violent?" Coulson thought for a while and decided to try to get in direct contact with the target. It's also the main reason why he and Melinda came here. Looking at the dense crowd around him, he was a little worried. If the contact was not smooth and the target became uncontrollable, the fun would be great.

"No! Since I received the order to track the target until now! She has been eating ice cream since she entered this store! Nothing else! Besides, the ice cream is also paid for." The agent answered truthfully and looked at Melinda's hand. holding gold coins.

"OK! I think, I know what to do!" Coulson got up and walked towards the ice cream shop. Melinda thought about it and quickly followed.

"Wow! The ice cream is so delicious!! Tibbers, would you like some?" Annie swallowed a scoop of ice cream, well, this cup is strawberry flavored, she has already tasted taro flavor, chocolate flavor, Creamy! It is said that there are many, many types,

But Annie is not in a hurry, because she has already paid the shopkeeper a lot of gold coins, and the shopkeeper said that all the ice cream in the shop today belongs to her! This is really good news! Be sure to pack a little bit when you leave! About a hundred of these cups of ice cream would do the trick! Delicious food can wipe away Anne's restless mood, and she can forget about going home for the time being.

"Oh! I'm sorry, Tibbers, I forgot that you can't eat." Annie looked at Tibbers, who was thrown on the chair next to her, which was her teddy bear.

Yes, it looks like a teddy bear. At least that's what the shopkeeper thought. It's normal for a little girl to talk to her toys. Although the little girl is a little older, for the sake of gold coins, who cares? The children of the local tyrants are really rich! The shopkeeper touched a few gold coins in his pocket a little bit. The bad thing is that two of them were forcibly confiscated by a law enforcement department called what bureau, but the rest is enough for him to exchange for a large sum of money! Maybe sell it as an antique? However, the only thing he's worried about now is: Will the little girl's parents send him a lawyer's letter after they find out?

(Master! That bald head and a female human aunt are here! I have noticed them a long time ago! They just whispered to the villain outside who has been following you for a long time, they must be villains too! Let me go out and clean them up?)

Feeling the spiritual communication from Tibbers, Annie glanced at it, ignored it, and continued to eat her favorite ice cream!

"Kids? Do you mind if uncles and aunts sit here?" Annie had just finished talking to Tibbers and was about to eat another big scoop of ice cream when she suddenly found a man and a woman sitting next to her. On the empty chair on the left, the man sat on the chair with Tibbers on the right, grabbed her teddy bear and played with it, and shook the teddy bear's arms. A move he thought was funny....

(Ah! Master! Let me out! I want to eat him! Eat him! Although he looks ugly, he can still be eaten with the head and tail removed!)

Huh? Seeing this surprised Annie: What is this bald-looking weirdo doing? he! How dare he hold Tibbers in his hand and play like this? ! You know, Tibbers is a powerful shadow bear! After it grows bigger, it can slap an old dragon to the ground with one paw, making it unable to get up for a long time! The shadow flames all over his body can burn everything around him! Except Annie! No one has ever dared to play with Tibbers in his hands! The archmages in the gray order didn't dare either! No mage is stupid enough to let a shadow bear come within ten yards of him, let alone grab it and play with it! Of course, the archmages of the gray order all know what Annie's teddy bear is, and they won't do it to death.

"Uncle, are you a bad guy?" Annie felt the mood swings from Tibbers, a little unsure, looked at the bald monster, and asked cutely with an ice cream spoon in her mouth.

"Oh! Of course not. Does uncle look like a bad guy?" Coulson pulled the teddy bear again, made a more exaggerated gesture, and made a face at Annie.

"That's it, what a pity!" Annie carefully felt the increasingly intense emotions from Tibbers, and decided to ignore Tibbers. She scooped up another big mouthful of ice cream and put it in her mouth. Because my mother said: You can't let Tibbers out casually, and you can't burn people casually, unless the person is a bad person! Well, this bald-headed monster has a wicked smile. Although he doesn't look like a good person, he hasn't reached the point where he has to be burned.

"What? What a pity?" Coulson and Melinda felt that the little girl was a bit weird. However, the two of them originally came to contact the target. Now that they have a conversation, they must continue. Sometimes some important information is often revealed from the other party's casual words, such as a little girl's thoughtless words. There may be more available.

"Tibbers said it hates you, it asked me to let it out, and said that it would bite your head off!" Annie took another bite of ice cream, turned to look at this bald weird sorghum, and suddenly felt that he was so pitiful , if Tibbers hadn't been restrained by himself, he would have been bitten off his head long ago, right?

"Tibbers? Who is Tibbers? Why did he bite off my... um, head?" Coulson was a little restless. If it was an ordinary little girl, Coulson must have thought she was joking. Crazy talk, but Coulson thinks it's better to treat the little girl's words with caution. The body of Melinda next to her was tense, as if she might launch an attack at any time, but Coulson's eyes signaled her to relax first.

"It's Tibbers in your hand!" Annie gave Coulson a blank stare angrily, holding Tibbers and asking me who Tibbers is? What a nuisance! Thinking of this, Annie lowered her head and continued to focus on the ice cream in the cup.

"Uh..., this teddy bear is called Tibbers? Haha, you really know how to joke, teddy bears don't bite." Coulson heaved a sigh of relief, how could a teddy bear bite? Maybe it's because she doesn't like others to touch her toys, just like she never lets others touch her car? But having said that, he put down the girl's toys carefully, not wanting to overstimulate her.

"I didn't lie to you! Tibbers can really bite you to death! But I won't let him out." Annie thought for a while, then reached out and grabbed Tibbers into her arms, lest they really Excited Tibbers.

"Haha..." Coulson felt that it would be better not to entangle with the little girl for the time being, and to change the subject quickly. "So, little sister, can you tell me your name? We know each other now, don't we? My name is Coulson, Phil Coles! This is Aunt Melinda over here."

"Well..., Annie! My name is Annie!" Annie felt that this strange sorghum was a bit annoying and annoying. Didn't he know that he had hindered her from eating ice cream? ! But since the other party introduced herself, Annie still said her name. She always thought that she was a polite and good girl.

"Nice to meet you, Annie! So, where are your parents? Why is no one with you? You didn't come home last night, did you? Maybe we can find them for you, and then let them come and take you home?" Coulson quickly shifted the topic to the little girl's parents. His intuition told him that this was a breakthrough. He couldn't find out the little girl's origin. Knowing the names of the little girl's parents might be able to find specific information. "Can you tell me their names?"

"Is it like this?" Annie tilted her head and thought for a while. She has been in this strange place for a day and a night. She has activated the coordinate positioning spell, but her parents haven't come to her yet. Maybe these two suddenly appeared Maybe the weirdo who came can help?

"My father's name is Gregory Hastur and my mother's Amoline!"

Finally got useful information! Melinda secretly gave Coulson a thumbs-up, and secretly turned on the portable device, intending to record the following conversation in its entirety.

"So, what do they do? Where does your family live?" Coulson was afraid that the little girl would not understand, so he hurriedly gestured, "For example: teachers, lawyers, drivers, etc." But Melinda next to her But I don't agree with Coulson's words in my heart. How could the parents of a little girl with gorgeous clothes and fine workmanship, whose hands are gold coins, be these ordinary people? So-and-so company, the chairman of the chaebol, the president or something, right?

Anne frowned, teacher? lawyer? driver? What it is? I obviously have a spell that understands the language, so why can't I understand what he means? Are they asking about a career? Oh! I remembered!

"My father is a mystic! My mother is a shadow witch! My family lives in the land of voodoo." Annie bit her finger, as if she knew that much! "The land of voodoo in Valoran! You must know about it?"

"..." Coulson and Melinda felt that they must have misheard, mystic? Shadow Witch? Voodoo land? These are all ghosts? But thinking about the scene of setting fire to three gangsters in the photo of the little girl, Colson and Melinda subconsciously felt that she seemed to be telling the truth?

"Okay, let's put it another way, what unit do they work in?" Melinda took the conversation and asked.

"Go to work?" Annie suddenly felt that the effect of spells that are proficient in languages ​​does not seem to be very good. It is difficult to understand what the two strange aunts are saying! "Hmm... Dad is the leader of the gray order, and mom seems to be too..., um, they work in the gray order...? By the way! Dad is the most powerful warlock in Valoran! Mom is also the most powerful in Valoran Miko!"

Gray order? An organization name? It seems that this is important information! This seems to be understandable, but Valoran? What the hell is this? Is there really such a continent on earth? Coulson and Melinda suddenly felt that if what this girl named Anne said was true, perhaps SHIELD would definitely not be able to easily capture her and lock her in the freezer as they did with mutants in the past. If you do, I'm afraid you will definitely get into big trouble!
