Chapter Seventy-Nine: Scared
Coulson was busy reporting to Nick Fury on the progress, keeping an eye out for S.H.I.E.L.D. and their own problems with interstellar diplomacy and world security, while Richard took the opportunity to go for a spin in a nearby town.
After all, I've come here, and I must go back with something delicious and something special. Anyway, he is traveling on official business this time, providing friendly support to S.H.I.E.L.D., and the money for the boiled eggs is not spent in vain.
Moreover, the xenomorphic beast Baigba Zun has been injured last time, and his whereabouts are still unknown. Anyway, Richard thought that there was nothing he could do to stay with Aegis now, so it was better to try his luck outside, if the xenobiotic was lurking near the densely populated town, maybe his human radar would be able to sense it in advance.
The town here is not very large. Richard searched the Internet for tips, and it seems that the Internet generally says that the food and fun in the town are concentrated in a shopping street, and all tourists who come here must go there. The review network also strongly recommended a small restaurant called "Bellatrie", which has a signature of a New Mexico specialty, a pie, and has a huge reputation and high ratings, and the colorful pictures of the pies are mouth-watering.
However, Richard also knows that this kind of food matching is not credible. Slightly better businesses will at least mark a "picture for reference only, please refer to the real thing" on the menu, the picture is the ideal of plumpness, and the real thing is the reality of the skinny. The simplest analogy is like the beef and vegetables painted on the packaging of braised beef noodles, which look like a meal with meat and vegetables. Then wait for you to open the bag in high spirits and take a look...... Do you TM that these three shriveled grains are also called beef?
But fortunately, Bellatrie's pie seems to be really like that, although there is a difference between the real thing and the picture, but at least it is not a consumer fraud.
Although it was not a meal, there was still a long queue in the restaurant. Richard waited half an hour to get to the window of the counter, he paid, and watched through the small window as the proprietress skillfully made pies in the back. When the proprietress added the meat filling inside, he smiled and told outside: "The proprietress adds more meat filling, and adds more ......."
The proprietress rolled her eyes: "How about I put a pig on you?" ”
One thing to say, the taste of the pies in this shop is indeed quite good, and the meat is tender and the seasoning is just right, so it is not in vain that he has waited in line for so long.
Richard found a place in the store and sat down to eat the pie. I was halfway through eating, and for a moment, I suddenly felt a chill from behind me for no reason, as if I instinctively felt that I was being stared at.
He paused, and subconsciously turned his head to look, only to see that the restaurant was still bustling. There are travelers with backpacks, young couples in love, newspaper readers and aunts in the restaurant...... Everyone seemed normal.
The chill came and went so fast that I couldn't feel it in the blink of an eye.
Richard frowned slightly.
It must be an illusion, right?
There's no way anyone on this planet can keep an eye on him—not even a top-tier agent like Black Widow, because he has the super senses of being fit.
He tried to open up his senses and probe again, but he didn't seem to find anything out of the ordinary.
So it must be an illusion.
......
It's dangerous, it's dangerous.
The thin man in a long black coat and scarf quickly disappeared in the crowd, slipped out of the distance of seventy or eighty meters, and from time to time subconsciously looked back in the direction of the small restaurant in Bellatri, and his heart palpitated at the strong premonition that he was almost locked in just now.
He is Loki, the mischief god of Asgard and the brother of Thor.
Richard's guess was right. Loki cared so much about his brother, how could he really be so comfortable throwing him on Earth, the equivalent of "the wilderness" for Asgard?
On the surface, Loki left Earth after fooling Thor into shutting himself off, but in fact, he didn't stop thinking about Thor for a moment.
My brother should really fool me, right? He wouldn't have his head suddenly open up and understand that I was actually fooling him, right? Or will he suddenly regain his divine power after the explosion of the small universe? Is he doing well in Midgard, will he not be used to eating the food over there? Or will it be bullied by that group of savage indigenous mortals......
Ahh
Throwing such a hot-blooded idiot brother on the earth, and still with his baby hammer, Loki couldn't sleep well for the past two days, and he couldn't help but come back at every turn to secretly confirm the situation of the old brother. As a result, he ran back to take a look today, and happened to see Richard taking Aegis to the hospital to meet Thor.
At first, Loki didn't pay attention to them at all. In his opinion, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents or something are cannon fodder among mortals, as threatening to him as ants on the side of his boots. But when he watched Richard deftly carry Thor's hammer and ran around, his expression ...... Let's just say that if Thor in the ward looked like he had swallowed a durian alive, then Loki was eating.
it!? What's going on with that human? Can he run around with my brother's hammer?
He almost wanted to break in the window on the spot, and pointed his spear at Richard's nose and shouted: "Put down that hammer for me!" Even labor and management haven't lifted my brother's hammer, how dare you get ahead of me?
But in the end, he managed to hold back.
Loki began to reflect, maybe they had underestimated the mortals of Midgard a little too much over the years?
Being able to lift Thor's hammer means that the other party must have something special. Moreover, according to Loki's cognition, raising the hammer means that he has obtained the power of Thor, and he Loki weighed himself and estimated that he would not be able to win a Thor, so it would be better to wait and see first.
As a result, he never expected that he would get a little closer, and the human was immediately alert. The moment the other party turned around, Loki almost didn't even have time to hide his breath, and he was obviously in the crowd, but he had a palpitation as if he had been locked in.
This scared Loki a lot. You know, he Loki is a god to mortals, and in the original movie, he can come and go freely in the Aegis camp where elite agents are gathered with his unpredictable spells, and no half of them are aware of it.
But this mortal almost pulled him out at a glance from a distance of 108,000 miles...... No, after all, is that guy still a mortal? This doesn't seem to be the same as the mortal painting style he remembers!
Loki cautiously stepped back, thought about it, and decided that he still couldn't just give up.
He was a godsline of Asgard, a god of trickery and mischief, a future god-king of Asgard (as he thought he was), and if he gave the mortals of Midgard a look and scared them away, he might as well go back to Jotunheim and farm.
But after much thought, he decided to be careful, and then test the reality of the mortal......
