Chapter 124 Make Up
The disappearance of Simmons caused an uproar in SHIELD. Under everyone's questioning, Coulson had to tell everything behind it. .shung
Coulson also felt helpless. This stone had been motionless for more than ten years. Why did it move when he sent people to study it.
Everyone was very angry about this and blamed Coulson for why he did such a dangerous experiment without telling everyone, causing Simmons to be sucked into another world, where his life and death were uncertain.
Coulson felt very passive. Rhaegar told him that the stone would turn into liquid, but did not tell him that the stone could actively devour humans. The tragedy that happened to Simmons strengthened Coulson's attachment to the rock. The idea is too dangerous and must be destroyed!
In fact, Coulson misunderstood Rhaegar on this point, and the fact that Simmons was swallowed up was purely a coincidence.
After the rock liquefies, any place covered by black water is the entrance to the passage. Simmons's entire body was covered by the liquefied rock, and he naturally went to the other side involuntarily, but from the outside, it did look like a rock. Swallowed Simmons.
Daisy was particularly angry at Coulson's behavior, which she felt betrayed everyone. It is because of secrets like this that Simmons' life is in danger. Therefore, without any hesitation, she immediately found Rhaegar.
After Rhaegar got the news, he immediately rushed to SHIELD.
In the SHIELD conference room, Rhaegar, Coulson, and Gonzalez sat in a triangle.
Rhaegar's face was clouded. He never expected that Coulson, a standard good man in his eyes, would lie to him, and in front of him, with no trace or flaw.
Only then did he realize that he had taken it for granted before. Coulson is indeed a good guy, but he's also the director of SHIELD, the head of the world's largest spy agency. Being in such a position, his thoughts must not be simple.
Maybe Coulson is not as cold and cold as Fury, and there is a big difference in the way he handles problems, but he is a spy after all, and lying is just a basic skill. For some specific purposes, his approach is actually no different from Fury. .
Seeing Rega's extremely unkind expression, Gonzalez said, "Mr. Rega, we can explain this matter."
Rhaegar shifted his gaze to the gray-haired old man and asked coldly, "Who are you?"
"My name is Robert Gonzalez, and I am a member of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Council." Gonzalez's tone was very kind. He now needed to comfort Rega as much as possible.
Rhaegar frowned slightly, the SHIELD Council, how come he had never heard of this organization.
"It's normal that you haven't heard of it," Gonzalez smiled. "This is a newly formed organization after the merger of our two S.H.I.E.L.D. agencies."
Then, Gonzalez told the whole story in detail.
After hearing this, Rega realized that there was such an organization, but he had no impression of it at all. He didn't know whether it was the result of the natural development of the world, or whether there was something wrong with his own memory.
"I know Colson lied to you on this rock, but I still ask you to forgive him. This is not his decision alone. Now his actions are supervised by us and he is responsible to us. Therefore, this is God's decision." The decision by SHIELD as a whole, he just doesn't want the planet to suffer again." Gonzalez said, trying to sound as sincere as possible.
He knew that Rhaegar was powerful and had helped SHIELD a lot, so he didn't want to turn against Rhaegar. Now SHIELD is in desperate need of talent and powerful allies like Rhaegar can play a huge role at critical moments.
"You want to go over and kill the alien and eliminate Hydra from the source. Coulson wants to completely close or even destroy this channel to prevent the other party from invading the earth. You both serve the same noble purpose, but the path you choose It doesn’t make sense, so I hope you understand,” Gonzalez added.
At this time, Colson also said, "I know I'm sorry for you, and I want you to apologize for this. However, I have my own considerations. Since I am in this position, I must shoulder this responsibility." It is too dangerous to open the passage. We don’t know what is over there. Even if an unknown germ is transmitted, it may cause the death of a large number of civilians. Therefore, I chose this method. If it happens again, I will still do it. Just do it with extra caution.”
Colson's words were not without purpose. After European colonists entered the Americas, they inevitably carried a large number of bacteria and viruses with them. Since the local indigenous people did not have relevant antibodies, the virus was able to rage wildly, eventually leading to a horrific mass death event. As an agent, he had a deep understanding of this kind of thing.
"But now you have lost a capable assistant." Rhaegar couldn't help but sarcastically said.
"Yes, so we need your help to get Simmons back."
"Why do you think I will help you?" Rhaegar asked.
"Because Simmons was not at fault in this matter. She was just following my orders to study the stone, and was swallowed by the stone in the end." Coulson tried to sound more sincere, "If you think I It's unacceptable to lie to you, and it doesn't matter if you refuse to forgive us, but I beg you to help us bring Simmons back. She is probably still alive now, and with you here, the probability of her survival will be higher."
"If you feel angry, I will apologize to you after bringing Simmons back."
"Do you think I will believe you?" Rega still treated him coldly.
"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, what matters is how I do it," Colson said slowly while looking at Rhaegar, "In our line of work, trust is very precious, and friends are even rarer. We had a good relationship before, so I didn't I don’t want this to ruin our friendship. After getting Simmons back, I will prove that I am still someone you can trust.”
Rhaegar stared into Coulson's eyes, trying to find something else in them, but all he saw was sincerity. He knew that Coulson didn't lie to him this time.
"Rescue Simmons first." Rega stood up.
Coulson and Gonzalez looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Rega agreed, it meant that there was still room for redemption.
"What can you do?" Coulson asked.
"Unfortunately, I don't know how to open this stone. I originally wanted to find a way to open this channel together after we find it." Rega shook his head.
"Fitz and Simmons have been studying it, and there may be some progress." Gonzalez said.
"Well, they should have a way. Although Fitz is alone now, as long as he waits for a while, he will definitely find a way. He should be very motivated." Rhaegar agreed.
"I hope he can find a way as soon as possible. I'm worried that Simmons won't be able to hold on alone for long." Colson sighed, looking regretful.
