Steve no longer insisted on asking Shen He for help.
He couldn't convince a person who knew everything but still wouldn't change his decision.
However, he still believed that Shen He had his reasons for doing so, and there must be something he didn't know.
That night, Coulson came in person to explain the submitted report in detail.
"We lost the trace of Jia Ying, and we can only be sure that she was hiding with the remnants of Hydra." Coulson hung his hands in front of him, crisscrossed, and attributed the mistake to himself. "This is entirely my work error. I will try my best to arrest her in the shortest possible time, and Black Bolt has agreed to send someone to assist."
This was indeed his mistake, because seeing Jia Ying and Skye reunited, mother and daughter filial, he chose to believe that Jia Ying really let go of her hatred.
But the facts dealt a heavy blow to him and everyone else.
"You are always more trusting than ordinary agents." Shen He shook his head, tapping his fingers on the table. "But hatred is really an incredible emotion. Who would have thought that people who were persecuted by Hydra to the point of being torn apart would actually come together with them because of hatred."
Jia Ying has completely abandoned her original enemy. She has been completely devoured by hatred, and even puts revenge on ordinary humans more important than revenge on Hydra.
This fact makes Shen He's hope of defeating Misaka Mikoto·Alter with a mouth cannon a little smaller.
In order to protect the Misaka sisters, but let the Misaka sisters go to war, she may be an avenger like Jeanne d'Arc, a cruel revenge on the adults who deceived and took advantage of the little girl's kindness.
"Facing someone devoured by hatred, defeating her is the only way to free her." Shen He couldn't help but mutter.
"Understood! Sir."
Coulson responded standing at attention. He thought Shen He was pointing at Jia Ying.
Shen He did not explain. He thought for a while and said, "I know you care about Skye. She does have valuable qualities, but she is also reckless, sensitive, independent, and..."
"Audacious." Coulson said the last word for Shen He.
"That's right." Shen He stood up and stretched his body after sitting for a while. "So she was rejected by so many host families since she was a child. It's not without reason. If you want to adopt a wild cat with thorns, you must be prepared to be scratched."
"Don't you still have you, sir?" Coulson showed his signature smile. "I believe that under your leadership, Chaldea can become her home... and our home."
"...I like to hear that." Shen He smiled and joked, "It seems that people who don't know how to flatter can't become senior agents. However, I have to go back to my little home now, and you should go back and rest early."
He looked at his watch. It was already early in the morning. Although he didn't have a girlfriend to hug when he went back, the warm and comfortable quilt was also a kind of enjoyment.
Coulson nodded and left, and Shen He also returned to his room.
But just after closing his eyes and taking a nap for a while, Accelerator's request to be summoned came to his mind.
When a servant belongs to his own world, he can actively apply to go to the master's world and establish a call.
"An enemy has come to our door." Accelerator's voice seemed to be gritting his teeth, "People from Academy City, not that woman, no, it should be said that the woman also sent people here."
"......Now!?" Shen He turned over and sat up, "Got it, I'll come right away."
This was actually something that had been expected. During the investigation in the past few days, Misaka sisters often wandered around Kamijou Touma's apartment.
In addition, there are armed groups of powerless people, guards of Academy City, and even voyeurism using magical means. Obviously, other forces are also investigating them, and it is only a matter of time before they are discovered.
Shen He knocked on the door and broke into Jeanne's room directly.
"There is a situation in the Magic Index. I'll go over there first. Jeanne, wake up Shiki and the others, and I'll summon you in a while."
"Okay, okay."
Jeanne covered her body with a quilt within a second of Shen He approaching the door.
Even so, she was only wearing simple pajamas and still made Shen He look at her a few more times.
Unfortunately, the situation over there looked more urgent.
Shen He went into the dungeon alone and sent a summon request to Saiki Kusuo.
As soon as he appeared, the first thing he saw was Accelerator with blood all over his head and swollen cheeks, and Misaka Mikoto was right next to him. This place was not in Kamijou Touma's apartment, but on a street near there.
"What's going on?" Shen He asked about the situation.
"I don't know." Misaka Mikoto shook her head, and there was surprise in her eyes. "I came out to find a vending machine and wanted to have some midnight snacks, and then I saw Accelerator being beaten by a man under his body, and then I saved him-very easily."
She was a little scared when she jumped out just now. The other party was a person who could beat Accelerator without any chance to fight back, but he ran away without looking back when he saw her.
Although she didn't know what was going on, a sense of pride of "I am really awesome" arose spontaneously.
"Now is not the time to talk about this!" Accelerator struggled to get up from the ground. "That arrogant bastard revealed a lot of information. They also sent people to deal with Kamijou Touma. As a result, his group encountered a woman from a hostile force on the way and almost wiped out. Only he escaped - that woman's target was also Kamijou Touma."
The person who beat him up was the leader of the Academy City [Hound Unit] named Kihara Suta. He was once a researcher who studied Accelerator's ability. He was powerless, but he created equipment that restrained one party.
In Academy City, the only force that can be called a hostile force by the [Hound Unit] is Misaka Mikoto Alter.
And no one noticed the large-scale electric shock nearby, or heard the loud noise of the railgun, so it can be imagined that it was not Misaka Mikoto Alter herself.
Boom--!
At this moment, a huge roar and bright fire suddenly came from not far away.
It was the explosion of some kind of high-explosive weapon, and the location was exactly Kamijou Touma's apartment.
"Shouldn't you have said this earlier?"
Misaka Mikoto's body was flashing with lightning, and she was about to rush over, but was pulled back by Shen He.
"Don't be too impulsive, Kamijou Kaori is still with Kamijou Touma, it won't be that easy for something to happen over there."
Almost as soon as Shen He finished speaking, figures appeared around him one after another.
"Kihara Suta is a problem if he stays here. Jeanne, take Violet and chase him to capture him. As the leader of the hounds, he should know a lot of information." Shen He thought for a while and continued to give orders, "The rest of you, come with me to support Kamijou Touma. Since the enemy has come to our door, we have no choice but to fight first."
