“New York is such a disaster-prone place~~”
S.H.I.E.L.D., Triskelion, Natasha had already gracefully walked into the director’s office and stood beside Nick Fury, both of them focusing intently on the future video displayed on the large glass window.
Seeing the scene playing on the screen, she couldn’t help but tilt her head slightly and let out a soft sigh.
“The spider monster hasn’t been dealt with, and now there’s another unidentified life form, Number Three, like a vampire. Judging by this, the future doesn’t look optimistic.”
“Don’t worry, some tragedies, once known in advance, will never happen again.”
Knowing what Natasha was worried about, Nick Fury spoke in his deep, magnetic voice, “Moreover, I specifically sent Coulson to take charge of this matter. We won’t let these monsters escape from their seal that easily.”
“Hearing you say that, I feel a lot more at ease.”
Natasha sighed with relief, then raised her delicate eyebrows and asked, “It’s only a little past eight in the morning, not even the usual work time, and you called me here.”
“Seems like this mission isn’t easy, Director.”
“Don’t overthink it.”
Nick Fury turned his head slowly, looking at Natasha with his only remaining eye, and said in a low voice, “This mission is simply for you to observe someone who has the potential to become a member of the Avengers.”
“Oh? You mean…” Natasha glanced at the screen, a thoughtful expression flitting across her beautiful face.
“Yes, the superhero from the future video—Red.”
“Based on the future video, this kid is excellent in both character and courage, definitely capable of becoming one of us. So, I hope you go to New York State University, carefully observe him for a while, and if he meets the standards, invite him to join us directly.”
As he spoke, Nick Fury took out a prepared file from his drawer and handed it to Natasha, allowing her to understand the living habits of the person she needed to observe.
Natasha took Red’s personal information and began to flip through the pages.
She quickly gained a preliminary understanding of her target and then slowly spoke.
“No problem, I’ll take this mission. It’s just a good excuse for a vacation.”
“Okay, then I’ll leave it to you.”
As they spoke, Natasha left the director’s office with Red’s personal information.
Only Nick Fury remained alone, standing quietly in front of the large glass window, his gaze deep and distant, staring at the constantly flickering and changing screen in the sky, lost in thought.
…
【“Hello, is anyone in there?”
In the picture, Red had already reached the solemn front door of the Catholic Church. He reached out his hand and gently knocked on the door frame, shouting loudly.
However, no matter how much he shouted, the seemingly quiet church remained unresponsive, only his voice echoing around the empty space.
Seeing this, Red stopped knocking and quickly went to the side of the church. After searching, he finally found a window that could be opened, and without hesitation, he climbed through the window.
…
“Sorry for the interruption~~”
Walking through the enclosed and quiet interior of the church, Red whispered softly as he slowly opened a door in front of him. He carefully peeked his head out, his eyes like searchlights, nervously and intently observing the scene in the church’s main hall.
The neatly arranged seats, the solemn portraits of saints hanging on the walls, the stained glass windows that looked dreamy in the sunlight, and the unique architectural style formed by the Roman arches and the Latin cross were all captured by his eyes, but the priest was nowhere to be found.
This made Red feel slightly worried, so he boldly stepped into the center of the church’s main hall and carefully looked around.
During this process, a deep sense of worry quietly appeared on his face.
Although everything in the church was as usual, not much different from the other Catholic churches he had seen before.
But Red still felt a sense of unease, as if... there was some kind of evil beast lurking within this holy and solemn church, ready to jump out from some dark corner at any moment and devour him mercilessly.
He could even faintly smell a trace of blood.
This made Red even more uneasy, and he began to observe the surrounding scenery at a faster pace.
Just then, as his gaze shifted to the other side of the door, he was surprised to find a cold, piercing gaze through the crack in the door, silently watching him.
“Uh… Hello, are you Father Hoss?”
Looking at those eyes with a clear coldness, Red finally came to his senses, remembering that he had entered this church without permission. He immediately smiled awkwardly and apologetically, and cautiously asked.
“Bang——”
As he spoke, the door with the seal of the Lord suddenly slammed open, and a priest with black short hair and metal earrings walked slowly towards him from the side door with heavy steps.
This scared Red badly. He thought the other person was going to reprimand him. He quickly waved his hands and cried out.
“Ah! Wait a minute, I heard that you, Father, had an accident, so I…”
However, Red’s explanation seemed to have no effect on the priest’s attitude.
He was still furious.
However, just as the priest reached the middle aisle where the neatly arranged seats were.
A very dazzling sunlight suddenly shone into the church, scaring the priest, who instantly showed a look of horror and involuntarily stopped.
