On a remote street in Midtown Manhattan, New York, it has always been famous for its food. Various delicacies can meet the needs of most foodies in the world. Of course, the price is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford.
The public security here is relatively good, and the unique commercial and financial investment environment makes the population relatively dense. It is now noon after get off work, and the benches on the streets are full of all kinds of people. These elites who have just had a break from get off work or senior executives from a certain company are enjoying their superior life.
However, compared to the crowding situation of other stores, an ice cream shop seems to be more alternative.
Now, there is only one little girl in this store who is lying on her head and eating a big glass of ice cream. Even if there are occasionally a few pedestrians who want to enter the store to enjoy the cool summer, the owner waved his hand and refused, and was told that his shop has been booked today and no longer welcomes other customers.
"Hi, hello! Is there anything special about the goal?"
On a street bench not far from the shop, there were three people sitting, namely Phil Colson, Melinda, and a S.H.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E
The person talking was Colson. At this time, he was holding two unique gold coins in his hand. It is said that they were "exchanged" from the owner of the ice cream. Anyway, the owner of the exchange process seemed to be not so happy.
"Sir, so far, there is no! The goal is to eat ice cream from nine in the morning until now, well! There are some snacks. That's right, if I remember correctly, I should be eating the fourth cup now."
The agent in charge of surveillance replied. He had made a secret calculation in his heart just now. Combined with the consumption level here, he felt that this little girl ate a salary equivalent to his weekly salary in one morning! It seems that this is really a naughty child from a wealthy family, and ordinary families can't afford it!
"By the way, you have investigated this gold coin, too?"
Colson played with the gold coins for a while, and he couldn't tell what the thing was. Well, in fact, he obviously didn't recognize any of the patterns and words on it, so he had to hand them helplessly to Melinda, who was slightly curious and looked over at her.
"Yes, I had already scanned the gold coins when I got them in the morning. The data model and material analysis have been sent to the intelligence analysis department of the headquarters. However, according to the latest news sent back by them just now: through comparison, these gold coins should not belong to any of the things that have appeared in human history, at least there is no identical or similar in our S.H.E.L.D. Moreover, even the text on it is clueless, but they are obviously not fabricated."
"The most important thing is that after sample testing, their years are very long-term! It even far exceeds the civilization history of human beings starting to use gold coins, which is obviously impossible! So..., you should check it yourself!" After the agent said that, he handed Colson a communication tool similar to a tablet computer, with the latest situation just sent back by the intelligence analysis department.
"Okay, maybe I can have a good talk with that little girl. Has she ever had emotional out of control or violent tendencies?"
Colson thought about it and decided to try to get in touch with the target directly. This is also the main reason why he and Melinda came here. Looking at the dense crowd around him, he was a little worried that if the contact was not smooth and the target was uncontrollable, the fun would be great.
"No! She has been eating ice cream since I received the order to track the target until now, until she entered the store, and there was no other situation! Moreover, even the ice cream was paid." The agent answered truthfully and looked at the gold coins in Melinda's hand.
"OK! I think, I might know what to do!" Colson took it and walked towards the ice cream shop. Melinda frowned and thought about it and quickly followed.
......
"Wow! The ice cream is so delicious! Tibers? Do you want to give me some too?"
Annie ate a spoonful of ice cream in big mouthfuls. Well, this cup is strawberry-flavored. She has eaten taro, chocolate, and creamy! It is said that there are many kinds of varieties, but Annie is not in a hurry because she has paid the owner a handful of gold coins. The owner said that all the ice cream in the store belongs to her today!
This is really good news! When you leave, you must pack it and take a little away, about... a hundred ice creams like this are almost done! Delicious things can calm Annie's anxiety, and you don't have to think about it when you go home or something.
"Oh! Sorry, Tibers, I forgot that you can't eat." Anne looked at Tibers who was thrown on the chair next to her, her teddy bear.
Yes, it looks like it is a teddy bear. At least that's what the owner thinks. It's normal for the little girl to talk to her toys. Although the little girl is a little older, who cares about the gold coins?
The rich kids are really rich! The owner touched the few gold coins he put in his pocket. What’s abominable is that two of them were just forcibly collected by a law enforcement department called the bureau, but the rest is enough for him to exchange for a large amount of money! Maybe he can still sell it as an antique? However, the only thing he is a little worried now is: Will the little girl’s parents send him a lawyer’s letter when they know it?
(Master! That bald man and a female human aunt came over! I have noticed them a long time ago! They just muttered to the bad guy outside who has been following you for a long time, and they must be bad guys! Let me go out to clean up them?)
Feeling the spiritual communication from Tibers, Anne glanced at it, and didn't bother with it, but continued to eat the ice cream she liked!
"Little kid? Do you mind uncle and aunt sitting here?"
Anne had just finished talking to Tibers and was about to eat another large spoonful of ice cream when she suddenly found a man and a woman sitting next to her. The woman sat on the empty chair on the left, but the man sat on the chair on the right where Tibers was placed on the right, grabbed her teddy bear and shook it. She also pulled and shook it, and did an action he thought was very interesting...
(Ah! Master! Let me out! I want to eat him! I ate him! Although he is ugly, he can still eat it if he pinchs his head and tail!)
Huh? Seeing this surprised Anne: What is this monster who looks a bit bald? He! He dares to grab Tibers in his hand to play like this?! You know, Tibers is a powerful shadow bear! When it becomes bigger, it can slap an old dragon on the ground with one claw so that it can't get up for a long time. The shadow flames on its body can burn everything around it.
Except Anne, no one dared to catch Tibers in his hands and play! The great mages in the Gray Order did not dare! No mage was so stupid that he allowed a shadow bear to approach his ten yards, let alone caught it in his hands and played. Of course, the great mages in the Gray Order knew what Anne's teddy bear was, and they would not kill him like this.
"Uncle, are you a bad guy?" Annie felt the emotional fluctuations coming from Tibers, and was a little confused. She looked at the bald monster, and asked cutely with an ice cream spoon in her mouth.
"Oh! Of course not, does uncle look like a bad guy?" Colson pulled the teddy bear again, made an even more exaggerated move, and made a face to Anne.
"It's such a pity!" Anne felt the increasingly intense emotions coming from Tibers and decided to ignore Tibers.
She spooned up a large mouthful of ice cream and put it in her mouth. Because her mother said: You can't let Tebers come out casually, nor can you burn people casually, unless the person is a bad person! Well, this bald monster smiled terriblely. Although she didn't look like a good person, she didn't reach the point where she had to burn it with a fire.
"What? What a pity?"
Colson and Melinda felt that they couldn't keep up with the little girl's thinking. However, they were originally here to contact the target, but now that they have to talk, they must continue. Sometimes some important information is often revealed from the other party's inadvertent language. If a little girl's brain is not in the mind, she may get more from it.
"Tibers said it hates you, it asked me to let it go, saying that I would bite your head off in one bite!"
Annie took another bite of ice cream, turned to look at the bald monster, and suddenly felt that he was so pitiful. If he hadn't been restraining Tibers, he would have been bitten off his head long ago, right?
"Who is Tibers? Why did he... bite off my...well, head?"
Colson was a little rested. If it was an ordinary little girl, Colson would definitely think she was joking and talking crazy, but Colson thought it would be better to treat this little girl carefully. Melinda next to her was already tense, as if she could launch an attack at any time, but Colson used her eyes to signal her to relax first. The contact was smooth, and things were far from developing to the point where she needed to attack.
"You're the one in your hand!" Annie rolled her eyes to Colson in anger, took Tibers and asked me who Tibers was? It's so annoying! Thinking of this, Annie lowered her head and continued to concentrate on dealing with the ice cream in the cup.
"Uh..., this teddy bear is called Tibers? Haha, you are really good at joking. Teddy bears won't bite people."
Colson breathed a sigh of relief. How could a teddy bear bite? Maybe she didn't like others touching her toys, just like she didn't never let others touch her car? But even so, he carefully put down the girl's toys and didn't want to over-stimulate her.
"I didn't lie to you! Tibers can really bite you to death! But I won't let it go." Anne thought for a while, reached out and grabbed Tibers into her arms, so that they wouldn't really irritate Tibers.
"Haha..." Colson thought it would be better not to worry about these with the little girl for the time being, it would be better to change the topic as soon as possible.
"So, little sister, can you tell me what your name is? We already know each other now, don't we? My name is Colson, Phil Coles! This one next to me is Aunt Melinda."
"Well..., Annie! My name is Annie!" Annie thought this strange man was a little annoying and a little annoying.
Didn't he know that it had already prevented himself from eating ice cream?! However, since the other party introduced himself, Annie still said her name, and she always thought she was a polite and good girl.
"I'm glad to see you! Annie! So, what about your parents? Why is there no one with you? You didn't go home last night, right? Maybe we can help you find them and then they will send you back?"
Colson quickly shifted the topic to the little girl's parents, and intuition told him that this was a breakthrough. He could not find out the origin of the little girl. If he knew the little girl's parents' name, he might be able to find specific information.
"Can you tell me their names?"
"How is that?" Annie tilted her head and thought for a while. She had been in this strange place for a day and a night. She had clearly activated the coordinate positioning spell, but her parents had not come to find her yet. Maybe these two strange people who suddenly appeared could help?
"My dad's name is Gregory Hasta, and my mom is Amoline!"
Finally, I got useful information! Melinda secretly liked Colson, secretly turned on the portable device, and planned to record the following conversation in full.
"So, what do they do? Where do you live?" Colson was afraid that the little girl wouldn't understand, so he hurriedly made gestures. "For example, teacher, lawyer, driver, etc." But Melinda next to him did not agree with Colson's words. How could the parents of a little girl who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and fine workmanship and had gold coins in the family be these ordinary people? A certain company, the chairman of the chaebol, the president, etc., right?
Anne frowned, teacher, lawyer, driver? What is that? She is obviously always versatile, why can't she understand what he means? They are asking about profession? Oh! I remember it!
"My dad is a mysterious warlock! Mom is a shadow witch! My family lives in the Voodoo Land." Anne bit her fingers, as if she knew so much! "Voodoo Land in Valoran! You must know?"
"..." Colson and Melinda felt that they must have heard it wrong, Mysterious Warlock, Shadow Witch, Voodoo Land? These are all magical monsters? But thinking about the scene of setting fire to three gangsters in the photo of this little girl, Colson and Melinda subconsciously felt that what she was saying seemed to be the truth?
"Okay, let's put it another way, where do they work in?" Melinda took the words and asked.
"Go to work?" Annie suddenly felt that the spells that were well-versed in language seemed not very good. The words of the two strange aunts in front of her were so difficult to understand! "Well... Dad is the leader of the gray order, and Mom seems to be... Well, they are in the gray order... Working? By the way! Dad is the most powerful warlock in the Valoran continent! Mom is also the most powerful witch in the Valoran continent!"
Gray Order? The name of a certain organization? It seems that this is important information! This seems to be understandable, but Valoran Continent? What the hell is this? Is there really this continent on Earth? Colson and Melinda suddenly felt that if the girl named Anne said everything was true, maybe S.H.E.L.D. would never easily arrest her and lock her in the freezer like she used to deal with mutants. In that case, it would probably cause great trouble!
