Chapter 2142 The Ultimate New World (Twenty-Three)

When he came out of Adela's house, the rain had stopped. Coulson took the recorded documents and walked from the awning on the side of the house to the garage. He turned to look at the assistant next to him and asked, "Where are the two doctors?"

"They are in the garage checking the car's fuel tank to see if there is any oil leakage, and by the way, they are checking the navigation equipment in the car to check the time when the navigation signal is sent."

Coulson opened the garage door and walked in, and found Simmons and Fitz squatting next to the jack to check something, while the other stood by and recorded something.

"Good news, Coulson, we have a job." Fitz stood up, took off his gloves, looked at Coulson and said, "Notify the boss, it has been confirmed as a supernatural event, and a full investigation can be launched."

Colson frowned and asked, "How did you confirm it?"

Fitz pointed to the car's fuel tank and said, "First of all, the fuel tank is not leaking, and there are no damaged parts. Secondly, based on the state of the gasoline stuck on the tank, we can determine the last time she refueled."

"She hasn't refueled since she came back from Canada. The car was towed back." Simmons said, "The state of the gasoline left on the tank is consistent with the residual state of the gasoline provided by the gas station where the lady refueled last time."

"So what?" Coulson asked.

Fitz sighed and said, "This shows that the lady did fill up a full tank of gas at the gas station she mentioned. We checked her credit card bill in the gas station's payment system, and the gasoline marks proved this."

"The marks on the tank also show that the oil was indeed full at the time. If the tank was not damaged, it would be impossible to use up a tank of oil when driving to the gas station, but the oil disappeared out of thin air."

"It's not that it disappeared out of thin air." Simmons walked to the engine position of the vehicle and said, "We checked the wear and tear of the engine. It is certain that the mileage within a week must be far more than the distance from New York to the Canadian border, at least two to three hundred kilometers more."

"Are there cameras at the border crossing?"

"Yes, but the use of monitoring equipment requires the consent of the Canadian side, and we are trying to get it." May said, "Do you want to continue to investigate the next one?"

"This is the fourth one, right?" Coulson smiled deeply. He frowned and said, "Every witness left evidence, but every witness did not leave a real video. It is hard for me to imagine what this mysterious visitor in the fog looks like."

"I agree. We can't just go to see Nick like this." Simmons sighed and said, "His scolding will spread throughout the evidence analysis building, and then our bonus will be deducted."

"We have to find a way to catch the tail of this mysterious 'fog guest'. This is the code name I gave him." Coulson shrugged and said, "But I have to admit that the inspiration came from the name Nick gave to this project."

"I don't know what the boss has gone crazy about recently." Coulson's hand rested on the edge of the car and said, "I'll call the people in the information collection and analysis department later to check if there are any suspicious psychiatrists nearby."

"Psychiatrist? What does this have to do with a psychiatrist? I think the mental state of the people we are investigating is pretty good. It's not time to seek help from a psychiatrist." Fitz looked up and said with some doubt.

"I don't know either. I'm just repeating his orders." Coulson spread his hands and said, "Don't you think the term suspicious psychiatrist itself is suspicious? Come on, why would a psychiatrist appear in such a remote place? Don't they serve the upper class?"

"That's easy. I'll call him later." Simmons nodded and said, "As long as he's a licensed doctor, he'll definitely be able to find something. Do you think these two things are related?"

"I don't know what Nick is crazy about, but he may think that this was done by a psychiatrist."

"Nonsense." Simmons commented, "I guess it must be another psychiatrist who did a psychological assessment for him and didn't give him the result he wanted, so he took revenge."

Just then, Coulson's communicator suddenly rang. After Coulson picked up the phone, Nick's roar came from the other side.

"I know what you bastards are speculating about, but I'm not kidding you. Go check with a psychiatrist. Oh, yes, don't just check with a psychiatrist, but also check with a surgeon, a psychiatrist, any doctor, or those suspicious people who ask you on the street if you need help."

"Boss, good news. After we interviewed several witnesses, we found that this incident may indeed be a supernatural phenomenon."

"What the hell is this good news?!"

"The good news is that there is no connection between this incident and the mutation of San Francisco residents."

"For the time being? Huh?"

Coulson could clearly feel Nick's irritability at this time, but this most friendly and kind agent was already very accustomed to his boss being a stress monster.

He listened to Nick's roar and then said, "We have contacted the information department. If he holds any doctor's license, he will not escape our sight."

"I don't think we should be distracted now." Coulson reminded him, saying, "I think we are getting closer and closer to the 'Fog Guest'. We will go to the next sighting site for investigation. Wait for our good news, Chief."

Nick hung up the phone and sighed deeply. He rested his hands on the table and looked at the photos on the table, with a puzzled look between his eyebrows.

If before the investigation, Nick was about 80% sure that this matter was another ball of wool made by Schiller, now he is indeed a little uncertain.

An obvious problem is that fog is indeed one of Schiller's characteristics, but Nick has never seen Schiller use his fog-like symbiote to do anything other than escape.

Nick really has never seen Schiller fight with gray fog, or everyone in the Marvel world has rarely seen gray fog, and they know almost nothing about this mysterious symbiote.

The reason is that Schiller doesn't use the symbiote at all. Schiller's ability to cause trouble does not come from his force. The symbiote provides a certain self-protection ability, but under Schiller's series of big plans, it is not Schiller who needs self-protection ability.

So the people around Schiller's understanding of the symbiote in Schiller's body is probably that he has a strong protective ability, which can make Schiller disperse into a ball of fog that no one can attack, and there is nothing else.

But then again, it's not that all the fog in the world is Schiller. If you want to talk about Schiller's characteristics, any one of them is more obvious than the fog. It is impossible that a mysterious person related to the fog must be Schiller.

What makes Nick most shaken is that this style of doing things is not like Schiller.

First, Schiller has always adhered to the style of not taking action personally and hiding behind the scenes. Even if he appears, it is the second half of the matter. The matter is basically clear and the truth is almost impossible to hide, so he appears at the key node to promote the development of things.

Second, Schiller is a man who pursues efficiency. He has time to personally appear to play the supernatural phenomenon. Ten thousand balls of wool have been wound up. Nick, who is also a profiteer who exploits himself, feels that Schiller will not do such a loss-making thing.

In fact, the second point is the main reason why Nick is suspicious.

The photos and investigation reports on the table show that within this week, this mysterious creature code-named "Fog Guest" has been wandering around the Canadian border and New York State.

If this is Schiller himself, it will definitely take up a lot of his time, but he will not see any rewards. If this phenomenon is created by Schiller, then there should be at least some purpose, right? What is he wandering around here?

Connecting all the eyewitness clues, after comprehensive analysis by various information analysis departments, physical evidence analysis departments, and behavioral science analysis departments, it is found that this mysterious visitor in the fog is nothing else, just strolling around.

Everyone wants to know what he is doing, but unfortunately, some witnesses are timid and run away when they see him, while others are brave and want to rush up to him. So far, no one has really touched the Fog Man, and no one has successfully communicated with him.

The Fog Man wanders too widely and too frequently. Now all kinds of rumors are rampant, the public has different opinions, and the media has different opinions. Anyway, it is a sensation.

Moreover, it seems that because this mysterious phenomenon does not show any aggressiveness, some people have already wanted to start summoning the Fog Man.

At the same time, since Nick came, he has been secretly investigating the mutation of San Francisco residents, but this cannot be hidden from the eyes of some people. Some people do not want him to investigate, so they have put a lot of resistance on this matter.

Then the way to give resistance is to further hype the mysterious incident of the Fog Man so that it is known to the world, forcing the SHIELD, which is responsible for supernatural events, to shift most of its attention to this matter so as to give an explanation to the superiors.

Combined with the messy rituals that have no scientific basis at all started by those online celebrity reporters, Nick's worries gradually changed from whether Schiller was involved in this matter to how he should get out of this matter and complete his purpose here, which is to stop Bruce.

Nick felt that although the secret investigation of the mutation case of San Francisco residents could not be stopped, the investigation of the visitor in the fog had to be accelerated. After standing there and thinking for a while, he decided to call Coulson to ask about the progress of the investigation.

As soon as Nick picked up the phone, the phone rang. Nick picked it up and found that it was Coulson who called.

"I saw him! I saw him!" Coulson's roar and the sound of fierce whistling wind came from the phone.

"Eyes! He is watching...beep beep--"

"Hello? Coulson! Coulson!!!!" Nick shouted Coulson's name to the other end of the phone, but the phone had been hung up.

Nick angrily clenched the phone and slammed it on the table, but soon picked up the phone and a document at hand and walked towards the information department of SHIELD. He had to contact the members of Coulson's team and find out what they had encountered.

Coulson opened the car door and walked into the thick fog. Standing in the middle of the road, he stared at the shadow in the depths of the fog in shock.

"God... they didn't lie." Coulson stared at the shadow and sighed, "He really exists, a visitor in the fog, he really exists."

The two scientists sitting in the back seat also got off, frowning at the figure in the fog.

"What does he want?" Simmons asked.

"What is he looking at?" Fitz said almost in unison with him.

Then they looked at each other, all feeling surprised, Simmons said first: "I feel that he wants to communicate with us, he may want to get something from us."

"He is looking at us." Coulson stared at the figure and said: "He is watching us, he wants to convey a message, what does he want to say?"
