Shortly after Phil Coulson reported through the standard procedure, a Quinjet descended and took him away.
A massive fire, or rather a fiery inferno, left no trace of clues behind, so there was no need for Coulson to stay any longer.
The remaining matters were handed over to New York authorities, and S.H.I.E.L.D. withdrew utterly.
Nick Fury felt somewhat relieved inside, initially thinking it was merely a private act of retaliation and S.H.I.E.L.D. had only arranged monitoring.
Otherwise, in such a fiery inferno, no amount of carefully trained agents would be enough to endure it!
“Coulson, that ‘Invisible Watcher,’ have you seen him?”
“Do you know who he is? What is his character like on first contact?”
Inside Nick Fury’s private office, Nick Fury called in her formidable subordinate alone!
“Director, what are you talking about?”
“When did I ever encounter the ‘Invisible Watcher’?”
“Didn’t you send me to connect with two street heroes called ‘Big Daddy’ and ‘Hit-Girl’ in Hell’s Kitchen?”
“And who is this ‘Invisible Watcher’?”
As Coulson spoke, his frown deepened as if he could not recall something.
On the other hand, Nick Fury was increasingly astonished. What kind of superpower was this? Not only is it invisible to surveillance, but it could also erase memories.
Nick Fury didn’t doubt Coulson’s loyalty, knowing they had met during an alien attack.
Even though, at that time, Phil Coulson was just a rookie fresh on the scene, they knew each other thoroughly!
“Take a look at this!”
Nick Fury turned her tablet around without saying much, facing the screen. On the screen, there were bizarre images of the ‘Invisible Watcher’ captured on the screen by surveillance.
“Wait!”
“I think I remember something?”
“Huh?”
“Why does it seem like I can’t remember again?”
“That’s right. I received an order from the director to contact three people.”
“Three people?”
“Oh, yes, three people.”
“Eh? Who is this third person?”
“Why is the impression so vague?”
“Height? Can’t remember!”
“Build? Can’t remember!”
“Clothes? Can’t remember!”
“Appearance? No impression at all!”
“Voice? Can’t remember—huh? I still remember it was a male voice.”
………………….
“Director, it seems I indeed made contact with a superhuman!”
Glancing at the director, who had regained his usual composure, Phil Coulson was shocked!
What kind of black tech is this?
“Is this an incomplete memory deletion technique or a superpower?”
“Or, is this a technology that allows one to forget certain memories? A superpower?”
“Director!”
“I think we need to prepare something for this!”
Coulson’s expression turned serious.
As a die-hard fan who idolizes Captain America and dedicates his life to emulating him, Phil Coulson does not allow such unrestricted superhumans to remain outside S.H.I.E.L.D.’s control.
This was one of the reasons Qi Jun was not prepared to contact S.H.I.E.L.D.
While S.H.I.E.L.D. may act for the good of the whole world, Qi Jun disagrees with their methods.
In Qi Jun’s eyes, some of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s actions are even worse than those of Hydra!
Hydra at least tries to lure you in before resorting to threats, but S.H.I.E.L.D. skips straight to coercion without the temptation.
If you willingly accept S.H.I.E.L.D.’s surveillance, everything is fine.
But if you refuse their surveillance or control, they will force you until you comply.
Throughout the Marvel movie series, Qi Jun realizes that S.H.I.E.L.D. only does one thing:
I know what’s best for you. You must listen to me!
We’re doing the right thing, and you must listen to me!
You’ve developed a powerful weapon, and you must listen to me!
To hell with listening to you!
Do others not have their own opinions? Or are they fools?
Because of this attitude, even without Hydra, the hidden rat within S.H.I.E.L.D., Qi Jun naturally cannot side with S.H.I.E.L.D.!
You have the ability, so you must accept our surveillance.
Qi Jun: Ha! Get lost!
………………….
After leaving the church, Qi Jun quickly headed towards the blazing dock.
Qi Jun, blending into the crowd, had just reached the police-barricaded area outside the dock.
Qi Jun’s ‘Rorschach’s Mask of Oblivion’ didn’t cause panic among the bystanders.
Many people with a high spirit of adventure thought Qi Jun’s outfit was superb.
The onlookers especially admired the mask, whose ink colors changed irregularly with his breathing.
A group of people exclaimed: This mask is incredible!
………………….
Qi Jun frowned.
Although he knew no surveillance could capture him.
And that these bystanders would soon forget him.
But being surrounded like this made it impossible for Qi Jun to do what he wanted.
After all, if he ignored the people around him and went to ‘harvest’ energy, he might attract the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D. or some other intelligence agency.
Therefore, Qi Jun had to expend his already limited energy again to actively trigger the inherent property of ‘Rorschach’s Mask’.
The ‘Rorschach’s Mask’ is slow to activate.
But once Qi Jun actively channels energy into it.
In the blink of an eye, the crowd surrounding him dispersed, turning their attention to the fire raging at the dock in righteous indignation!
At this moment, Qi Jun was like an invisible presence to them; even the police who had been approaching turned back to stop those rebellious youths trying to breach the barricade.
