[Zhongyingmei] Goblin Detective

New York City, Avengers base.

Although it is always said that the base of the Avengers will be moved, but everyone has been busy with work recently, and they have just resolved a crisis of world destruction.

S.H.I.E.L.D. was cleaned up, and when Lindell and the others sneaked into the world, Fury was not idle.Lindell is not very clear about what kind of means the other party used, but the work of "counter-espionage" is a technical job in itself, and he can only trust the other party's ability to work-after all, he can get in the way when surrounded by wolves. The top leader of S.H.I.E.L.D. also has strong strength to endorse.

Having survived an apocalypse, S.H.I.E.L.D. is now on holiday.The agents who worked all night before were able to go home on vacation to get a full rest, and some even took the opportunity to take paid annual leave.The situation of the Avengers was no different. Clint claimed that his arm muscles were strained, and he could no longer draw the bow normally for a period of time. He also applied for internal leave and planned to go to Hawaii to arrange a vacation for himself.

But at least for now, for now, they are still gathered in this building, including Sol, to taste the fruits of victory together.

Loki went back to Asgard ahead of time—this little Mr. Odinson raised his chin when talking to every human being, and wrote his disdain all over his body, claiming to return Gungnir. After shouting "Heimdall" to the courtyard, he rode away in the strong light of the Rainbow Bridge, leaving a scorched black mark on the lawn of the courtyard.

"If this continues, the gardener hired should resign."

Tony looked at the lawn and said.

"Don't pay attention to these details, my friend Stark, I know those Alfheim people are good at restoring the natural environment, and Lindell will find a way to restore them."

Thor wanted to slap the opponent's shoulder hard. At the moment when the palm was slapped, Stark extended a large piece of steel suit from the shoulder to the center, so that Sol's hand just patted on the metal shell, making a loud noise. sound.

"The last time you greeted your brother like this, he staggered and almost lost his footing."

Tony complained: "Since I measured the grip strength of Asgardians, I plan to turn on the anti-shock module from time to time."

After removing the bandage, Steve's hand was replaced with a pair of gloves, barely able to hold the wine glass, and he was forcibly pulled in to celebrate the completion of the task together.Bucky sat next to Natasha, and next to him was Dr. Banner, who declined any alcoholic beverages and chose to drink orange juice with Lindell.

"Why are you still acting like a high school student!"

Tony raised his voice, as if he had discovered something novel. Obviously, the alcohol intake made his spirits higher than usual: "It's fine if Lindell doesn't drink, but you are classified as a human being."

"It doesn't matter what Lindell is..."

Banner didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "The same goblin Barnes is also drinking."

And he had no intention of stopping at all.

—there is a black hole in the man's stomach.

They are more or less abnormal. Lindell and James are goblins. According to the former, the latter will not die even if he drinks concentrated sulfuric acid, and the mere alcohol is nothing to worry about; Soldiers, the speed of alcohol metabolism is basically the same as the speed of drinking, and there is no possibility of getting drunk; Natasha is a Russian, with racial talent and body modification, the efficiency of drinking vodka is like drinking water, as for Sol...

He himself said that the wine in Asgard was much stronger than this.

"So, it's not a question of being drunk or not."

Lindell swayed the golden orange juice and emphasized: "What's so good about wine?"

"It's not sweet."

"So you'll drink it if it's sweet?"

Tony was obviously a little drunk, otherwise he wouldn't talk like this normally.The mustache businessman flicked out a large box of sugar from the place where the coffee was placed, and crackled and sprinkled several grains into the goblet. Watching these small cubes melt into the red wine, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Lindell: "So you can drink?"

"Come on, Tony, don't embarrass him while you're drunk..."

Steve cut off the glass of red wine with excessive sugar content, and originally planned to find a place to put it down, but Lindell stopped him halfway. He put half of his body on Steve's body, and took a sip from the goblet , smacked it, and said that although the taste is still terrible, it is barely acceptable.

"Steve, would you like to have a drink too?"

The other party just looked up at him like this, making it impossible to refuse.

A warm touch came from the body that had deliberately adjusted its body temperature. Steve suspected that this guy didn't forget to maintain the temperature this time, but that he had handled it too hard and had a slight fever.

He stared at the half-drunk goblet, with red liquid sloshing inside, wondering how many sugar cubes Stark had sprinkled into it.

. . . this is the poison that has indirect kissing in it.

Bucky was booing not far away, fearing that the world would not be chaotic. Obviously, this guy would not be drunk at all, and he knocked on the table with a large beer glass in one hand. He looked like a drunk young man in a bar booing. Natasha's state Without further ado, he had already switched from English to Russian, pouring vodka down his throat while saying some retroflex sounds he couldn't understand.

...What, this group of guys are clearly more sober than each other.

He leaned closer to the goblet, took a sip of the spot that the guy next to him touched just now, and grinned at the stimulation of the strange smell of red wine.Probably because this expression really made people laugh, Stark took a photo without hesitation, and Saul took the lead, and everyone fell into a new round of laughter.

The crisis in the world will not come back again in a short time, and now, the most urgent thing Steve needs to do... one is to go to the hospital to fill his teeth.

His big teeth, the six-year-old teeth that are most prone to tooth decay, were directly crushed, and one or two of the next ones were also cracked. Chewing with the other side does not affect eating, but dental diseases still need to be treated as soon as possible. good.

The doctor's initial online diagnosis and treatment plan was to simply smash the one next to it and replace it with a new one, but he didn't know if the Avengers had better treatment methods, so he didn't set a time for the operation.According to the complicated efficiency of the medical system, another week had passed until the time for filling the teeth was agreed.

During this period, the large and small injuries on his hands healed quickly under the blessing of some strange magic that Lindell didn't know, and maybe the super soldier with four times the physical strength had an advantage over ordinary people in this respect.The other party once carefully observed his cracked tooth with a small flashlight in his hand, and asked if he needed to help block the pain on half of his cheek.

"Actually, it's okay... If I didn't deliberately touch that side, it wouldn't hurt too much."

Steve thought about it, and felt that it was unnecessary: ​​"And I can go to the hospital today to solve this problem."

"I will go with you."

Lindell made his decision without much thought.

"I'm fine...but you're not busy? I remember you have a schedule today?"

Steve recalled Lindell's calendar hanging on the wall. Originally, today's day was drawn with a red circle—probably a sequela of living too long. Compared with the automatic reminder of the schedule on the mobile phone, he still prefers to use Such an old-school, relatively traditional form.

Although that was just imitating humans, in essence, the goblin's memory is as good as a mobile hard drive.

"And if memory serves me right, I remember the S.H.I.E.L.D. field agents having a dinner recently."

"They should have invited you," Steve recalled.

"The dinner is tomorrow, and I asked them to postpone it for a day."

Lindell doesn't mind: "The boring social events are the same any day."

Compared with Steve, Lindell has been cooperating with these agents in S.H.I.E.L.D. for a longer period of time. Some of the long-serving agents may even cooperate with missions when they were young. Even if Lindell’s attitude towards ordinary humans Has always been neither bad nor bad, but it's not completely difficult to get along with - no attitude, at least it's much better than bad attitude.

Because of this, he occasionally participates in the social activities of field agents as a senior senior.

Of course, these people would very much like to invite Steve too - who wouldn't want to meet Captain America - but no matter how many hints, Lindell has no intention of adding an extra seat at the dinner table.

In this regard, Agent Coulson felt very understanding: Lindell has always been such a person, if he does not speak clearly, he will never realize the hidden intention.

In short, to describe it in one sentence in Japanese, it is "can't read the air".

On the day of the filling, the dentist was so excited that he couldn't even speak clearly.

Having Captain America come to him for treatment is definitely the most glorious time in his entire career. He first stood with Steve and took a group photo, and then took advantage of the opportunity to ask for his autograph. When he started preparing the surgical instruments, his heart rate Still high.

Lindell followed him to wash his hands by the sink, put on his gloves, prepared the string of shiny instruments, and frowned, expressing his dissatisfaction on his face.

"what happened?"

Steve, who was also sitting in the surgery waiting area, asked him.

"It's noisy."

The goblin youth complained: "The sound of the heartbeat is really too loud."

"What kind of new joke is this..."

Steve couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help reaching out to smooth the long hair tied behind his head.He knows that Lindell's hearing range is much narrower than that of humans, and he is so sensitive that he can hear the heartbeat clearly, but sensitivity does not mean that the tolerance threshold is lowered-at least he listened to the huge noise from the engines in Tony Stark's workshop. Noise also appears normal.

When he was young, he would often find a place to hide and rest for inexplicable reasons such as the sun was too hot, the teacher was too verbose, and the potted plants in the classroom were always arguing. Steve only thought that this guy might be sleepy again: "You Want to find a place to rest for a while?"

"Need not."

Lindell quickly refused, and turned his gaze back to the dentist: "He likes you very much."

"Eh?"

"Just like Coulson, so I will come to you for a photo and autograph."

Lindell held his chin: "Actually, Tony and Clint are the same, but the two of them refuse to take the initiative to speak."

He would be lying if he said he didn't know how popular he was...

He's incredibly honest, both as Captain America and as Steve Rogers himself, but it's kind of weird to be talking about how popular you really are with someone you like anyway.

"Are you here to help Coulson get an autograph?"

Steve speculated on the other party's intentions.

"Although he asked me to do so."

Lindell looked at him: "But it's up to you to decide whether you want to sign or not, so I asked him to contact you directly."

Obviously, Coulson has not mustered up the courage so far.

During the time of chatting, the doctor has finished the preoperative preparation, this time a new tooth needs to be planted on the gum bed.This is not a complicated operation in dentistry, but in Lindell's impression, Willy Wonka was quite shadowed about this kind of thing, which made him look like he was facing a big enemy, with a Several pieces of chocolate in different shades: "Do you want to eat it? It can be used to relieve stress."

"So who eats sugar before dental surgery!"

And just finished cleaning his teeth before surgery... The dentist couldn't bear to push him out. Even one of the superheroes, a member of the Avengers, made it impossible for him to allow him to stay in his consulting room.

When the door was closing, Lindell heard Steve's laughter outside the door—the kind that couldn't be stopped by wearing a retainer.

There was an empty corridor outside the clinic. Lindell stopped in front of the vending machine, took out a banknote and threw it in, and chose a can of Coke from it.

Hospitals are particularly emotionally complex places.Nervous rescues, life and death, and thoughts of each other are all easy to breed in this land, but even so... it is a bit too strange to have souls fighting in groups here.

The first floor upstairs is the surgery department. Lindell watched the three souls roll into a ball, from the third floor to the second floor, and then along the second floor where he was located, all the way across the floor tiles to the first floor.His eyes turned golden unconsciously, and he pretended to be a passerby and watched for a while.

These people are all mages of Emperor Weishandi, and it is really difficult for Lindell to get involved if his own people beat his own people, but he soon discovered that something was wrong——Among these people, except for the one who was recommended by Gu Yi Except for the newcomers, everyone is connected with the power of the dark quadrant.

Just as he was thinking, the fourth person ran down the stairs with his own body. Lindell took advantage of the turning and stretched out his legs and knocked the other person off his back. , I endured it again, and asked him in a vicious voice if he had seen a strangely dressed person come here.

He hadn't seen anyone dressed strangely, but there were many souls dressed strangely.Lindell pointed in the opposite direction expressionlessly: "They are going there."

The other party did not suspect him, and left in a hurry.

If it's for the soul, he still has some means. Just as Lindell was about to help, a hand was placed on his shoulder.

"Don't do anything for him."

Gu Yi's voice was calm.The other party also appeared here in the state of a soul. From the perspective of others, it was like Lindell standing there holding a Coke can and talking to himself.

"Is it okay? If this goes on, I think he's going to die soon."

Lindell pointed out calmly.

"Will not."

Gu is very confident about the disciple he has selected: "He is very smart and very talented."

"The talent of being a mage?"

Lindell thought for a while, and decided to see how many circuits carrying magic power there are in the opponent's body one day.

"It is the talent of being a supreme mage."

Gu Yi replied: "The qualities required for these two identities are different."

Gu Yi seemed very busy, so he came and went in a hurry, but said goodbye to Lindell roughly: "It's a pleasure to see you at this time, my friend, and I hope you can cooperate happily with him in the future."

"...can we meet again?"

Lindell asked sharply.

"Who knows, maybe you will meet me in Fairy Township?"

Gu Yi laughed, the kind of relaxed smile on the faces of Stark Industries employees when they were about to go on annual vacation: "The dental surgery is almost over, why don't you go over there and wait?"

Lindell thought for a moment, nodded, and turned to leave.

When Steve pushed open the door of the ward, he saw Lindell crushing the empty Coke can and throwing it into the trash can.

"Waiting...you just went to buy a drink?"

he asks.

"I was just saying goodbye to an old friend."

Lindell replied, the gold in his eyes faded like a tide.
