Chapter 83 The Secret Darkness

Catherine drove her own car through the somewhat dilapidated streets of New York.

The prosperity and prosperity of the past is like a fantasy dream, which can be broken with a poke.

The sound of "bang", Catherine squinted, was a homemade incendiary bomb thrown by a masked man.

The power is quite limited, but it looks quite bluffing.

Catherine didn't care, this was already the third time since she walked out of the house.

The previous turmoil did not turn to calm as quickly as before.

Because there is no switch for spontaneous group atrocities, just click and stop.The blood that flowed that night was splashed on the ground, and no matter how clean it was wiped, it would attract a swarm of flies and mice.

Until now, from time to time, we can see criminals who are tightly wrapped, either sneaky or blatantly acting.

Those who rob money, smash cars, those who deliberately revenge, those who fish in troubled waters, in general, highlight a chaos.

In the past few days, the hearts of New Yorkers have been covered with a layer of haze, which complements the gloomy sky.

Catherine sighed, feeling that this matter would not be completely subsided if it hadn't lasted a month.

"Why is it always New York that is unlucky?"

She thought so.

After turning a few turns, Catherine came to her work place.

SHIELD.

Speaking of which, she felt as if... she hadn't been to a magazine for a while.

Except when delivering manuscripts, Catherine will make a special trip. When talking about work, the first reaction is S.H.I.E.L.D.

Before she knew it, her sense of identity with an agent was almost the same as that of a journalist...

Maybe even higher.

Inexplicably, Catherine felt a little uncomfortable.

My mother has such a hard working attitude, but S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't take me seriously at all.

If you're in a bad mood, go shoot a target!
This is actually Catherine's daily life in recent days.

Victoria stayed with her sister every step of the way, both as a caretaker and a watchman.

This good sister naturally has no time to talk to her.

Coulson threw herself into the work of defusing the riot, and she wasn't involved either.

Just let her pay attention to Kratos, and when the big guy returns to New York, invite him to S.H.I.E.L.D.

Tsk, can't this job be done lying down?

So these days, Catherine has no work at work. She is bored, irritable, and angry. She comes to the shooting range to practice and maintain her hand.

Sharpshooters also need to practice!

Catherine's mood improved a lot after she emptied a magazine.

But it's a pity that her amazing marksmanship can no longer bring her experience points...

Everyone is used to it.

Sighing in her heart, she was about to strike again when she suddenly felt someone approaching.

She took off her earmuffs and looked back.

"Good alertness, to be appreciated."

The visitor smiled and said kindly.

Catherine looked around, but there was no one there before she knew it. She asked doubtfully, "Who are you?"

"Even if I introduce myself, I haven't heard of it at your level." The man raised his eyes, and what he said made Catherine's eyebrows twitch: "Let's put it this way, your Seiko rifle is here with me."

Catherine suppressed the evil fire in her heart, smiled and said:

"What is the officer doing looking for me, a little first-level agent...?"

The researcher got closer and whispered:

"I'm not going to hide it from you. It was my decision not to fire the gun. I know you are very angry, but before turning your face, I want you to hear my reasons for doing so."

Catherine chuckled:
"You say what you say."

"A question for you: Why did you join S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

She pondered for a while, then replied:

"At first I thought it was cool, but later I felt that this job is very honorable."

"It is true. As a protector, in the face of dangers that ordinary people will never face in their lifetime, the sense of honor is probably our only support, but honor will not save your life."

The researcher raised his eyes, and said in a sad tone: "In recent years, I have clearly felt that the world is becoming more and more dangerous, and it is becoming more and more difficult for us to deal with it."

"So? You want to say that my Seiko rifle is of great benefit to the upgrade of the S.H.I.E.L.D. weapon system?"

Catherine put down her shooting equipment and said weakly, "Ha, I'm honored to be able to help you."

"No, no, we have already studied that gun thoroughly. It is indeed powerful and inspiring to us, but that's all."

"Then why are you still holding it?"

"This was actually a misjudgment, but now we understand that the real value is not the gun, but you, Catherine!" The researcher suddenly looked at Catherine, his tone a little excited: "You are the hope of S.H.I.E.L.D. "

"Me?" Catherine pointed at herself, a little confused.

"Yes, it's you. As long as we know how you turned into such an amazing shooter with a gun, the power of S.H.I.E.L.D. will be unstoppable!"

"Ha...it seems to be ha."

Catherine looked at the inexplicably fanatical officer, and probably understood what he meant.

Before coming into contact with the Seiko rifle, she was indeed just an ordinary...office worker. Although she subconsciously attributed it to the power of a strange object, but think about it carefully...

The effect of strange things is indeed outrageous.

Then if this situation can be replicated, so that every S.H.I.E.L.D. agent has this level of shooting ability, it is really scary to think about it!

Tens of thousands of Clint Bartons...

She suddenly understood why this man was so persistent.

But the question is, can the effects of strange objects be replicated?
Catherine shook her head and said bluntly:
"It's beautiful, but I don't think so."

The researcher narrowed his eyes: "How do you know if you don't try?"

Catherine understands that this bastard is trying to pull me over for an experiment!

She said in an incredible tone: "You really dare to think!"

"Actually, you should think carefully, Miss Catherine, is it more valuable to participate in this plan than to be a sniper?"

The suave researcher speaks seductively: "Joining in and fighting for real order is more useful than giving that hypocrite Coulson a gun."

Catherine curled her lips, Coulson regarded me as a human being after all, you just want to treat me as a test subject.

She wanted to refuse directly, but the panel suddenly jumped out.

[Faction Mission: Hidden Darkness

Any institution composed of human beings has a natural tendency to corruption.

A colossus such as S.H.I.E.L.D. hides corruption enough to endanger the entire world.

You have already grasped a clue, whether to go deep into it and face the unpredictable danger, or retreat to the shore and wait for the development of the situation.

How to do it, what to do, the choice is yours.

Task reward: straight up to level 100, [-] skill points (current template evolution).

Special reminder: This task is a long-term personal task, the executor does not need to be impatient, and choose carefully. 】

Catherine's eyes fluttered, she blinked, swallowed back the dirty words on her lips, and said instead:
"It's not a small thing, I have to think about it."

The researcher smiled slightly and said, "Of course, as a token of sincerity, the Seiko rifle will be returned to you tomorrow."

Catherine greeted the other party's parents in her heart, but her face was full of joyful smiles:

"Thank you sir!"

Watching the researcher go away, Catherine hesitated, and opened the panel

Simon [sniper]: @kui ye [God of War] Where are you?
Simon [Sniper]: I have something to ask you.

Stark [Iron Man]: Huh?Can't you find me?

Simon [Sniper]: No...

Kui Ye [God of War]: I just returned to New York.

Catherine was overjoyed, what a coincidence.
