The Performing Arts Center in downtown Portland is one of Portland's famous major theaters.

At this time, it was dark in the theater, and suddenly, a beam of light fell from the sky, focusing on a woman holding a cello on the stage, this person was Audrey Nathan, she looked around a little nervously, and then played the cello in her hand according to the plan.

Perhaps because of habit, as soon as the cello sounded, Audrey slowly immersed herself in the music, and all the previous panic disappeared.

Suddenly, the lights outside went out one by one, and a figure slowly walked in from the outside, tall, but a little thin, wearing a black cloak, and his face was full of intoxication at the sound of music.

Although the footsteps were extremely slight, it still disturbed Audrey's performance, she raised her head, just in time to see Daniels who came here, the movement of her hands couldn't help but pause slightly, and the music immediately stopped.

"Oh, don't stop, go on." Daniels shrugged his shoulders apologetically and said, "I'm sorry I bothered you, I know I'm a monster, but in this world, only you can save me, you and your music." ”

After Daniels said this, Audrey felt even more nervous and flustered, and at this time, suddenly a voice sounded in her ears: "Don't be nervous, take your time, he can't get by, keep playing, your music is excellent." ”

I don't know why, this sound made Audrey extremely relieved when she first arrived, and subconsciously, she pulled the strings at hand again.

The melodious music sounded again, and Daniels smiled lightly as he walked down the steps and towards the stage.

Just as he walked to a certain position, Coulson, who was hiding in the stage control room, pressed the button in his hand, and in an instant, three extremely strong beams of light shone on Daniels's body from different directions, so strong that he couldn't open his eyes at all, but that's all.

Suddenly, a black gas suddenly rushed out of Daniels's palm, slammed into Trepley, who was 20 meters away, knocking him out at once, and the strong light in his hand was also knocked to the ground, shattering. Immediately after, two more black gases came out, striking Fitz and Simmons respectively, both of them were knocked to the ground at the same time, and the two bright lights in their hands were also shattered.

Daniels looked angrily and angrily at Audrey on the stage, his hideous face immediately frightened Audrey to put down the cello in her hand and ran backstage, while Daniels strode after him, but just when he stepped on the stage, a figure suddenly fell from the sky.

Daniels subconsciously put his hands on the front one, and two black energy shockwaves attacked the comer, but after his attack hit the comer, as if he hadn't touched anything, it directly penetrated the opponent's body and slammed into the curtain of the stage.

Before Daniels could understand what was going on, a golden light flashed in front of his eyes, and the next moment, he felt a pain in his chest, and when he lowered his head, he realized that at some point, a golden long sword had pierced his chest, and blood flowed.

For a while, Daniels's face changed greatly, you must know that after he has undergone the transformation of S.H.I.E.L.D., his body has a strong self-healing ability, but this long sword is stuck in his chest, and an inexplicable force is preventing his self-healing ability from working, and blood keeps flowing out.

Suddenly, countless black aura surged out of Daniels' body, heading towards Ling Xiao in front of him.

"Look for death!" Ling Xiao snorted coldly, and golden flames immediately appeared on the golden long sword, spreading along Daniels's chest and towards all parts of his body, and the black air flow tried to stop this flame, but it collapsed at the touch of a button.

Suddenly, just listening to a muffled sound of "bang", Daniels's whole person turned into countless black particles and flew in all directions.

However, Ling Xiao, who was standing on the stage, did not stop, a flame dragon emerged from the golden sword, and circled around the edge of the stage, immediately enclosing all the black particles inside, and the next moment, I saw the golden flame dragon "boom" and exploded directly, and countless golden flames appeared on the stage, burning all the black particles out, and then gradually disappeared.

Ling Xiao secretly put away a small porcelain vase, turned his head to look aside, I don't know when, Audrey fainted on the edge of the stage, Coulson happened to be half-kneeling beside her at this time, holding her hand, and whispered comfort: "You are safe now, I am still here, I swear, I will continue to guard you." ”

After speaking, Coulson gently kissed Audrey on the forehead, and Audrey, who was unconscious, also seemed to sense something, and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

Coulson nodded at Ling Xiao, and after taking a deep look at Audrey, he got up and left directly, Ling Xiao stretched out his hand to Audrey and nodded, and the next moment, a little golden light fell into Audrey's eyebrows, and when she woke up, she found that the person who was holding her hand turned out to be Simmons!

"Phil......" looked at Simmons' face, her eyes were full of disappointment, and she muttered: "I thought he was here just now, and it all feels so real, heh, probably because he missed it too deeply and hallucinated." ”

"Probably!" Simmons squeezed out a smile very reluctantly, but she sighed heavily.

Sitting in this small unmarked plane, Coulson's plane crossed the U.S.-Canada border, entered Canadian airspace, and flew towards the deep heart of Canada.

"Phil, are you alright?" Ling Xiao looked at Coulson, who had been silent, sighed slightly, and then asked.

"She said I never lied to her, and today I did." Coulson raised his head and looked at Ling Xiao, as if telling Ling Xiao and as if telling himself: "But at least she is safe and alive now, and I hope that one day I can tell her everything, and I hope that she will understand me then." ”

Ling Xiao nodded silently, and didn't say anything, in fact, he was really glad in his heart, fortunately, he didn't join S.H.I.E.L.D., otherwise the situation he faced would be as difficult as Coulson's, and he had to give up what he loved and struggle alone outside.

To be honest, Ling Xiao and Coulson are still somewhat similar, at least, Gan Jing doesn't ask what he does outside, he just hopes to see him well, and it's enough if there is no accident, but this is not a kind of bond!

"When I go back, I must apologize to Mei, I was a little anxious before." Coulson had received confirmation from Ling Xiao that Melinda had been spying on him before, indeed on the orders of Nick Fury, and coupled with this incident, he felt that he had gone too far before.

"Hmm!" Ling Xiao nodded slightly, didn't say anything, and after solving the incident with Daniels, Ling Xiao learned that Ward had returned to Coulson's team and was now in a secret base in Fury's secret base in the northwest snowy mountains of Cochrane District, Southeast Ontario, Canada.

It's really effortless, Ling Xiao didn't tell Coulson that Ward is also a member of Hydra, and if he doesn't say what he said, Coulson believes it or not, even if he believes that Ward is indeed a spy of Hydra, what can he do?

Now in the secret base, except for a May who was not trusted by Coulson before, and some force, Skye and the base administrator Kenig belong to the category of technicians, once there is a change, the final failure is likely to be the side of S.H.I.E.L.D., so if you want to be safe, you should wait until you meet Ward, and Ling Xiao does not plan to expose his true face as soon as they meet.

He also had to find a way to find out where Garrett was from Ward's body, and then take them all down in one fell swoop when they were at their proudest.

It's not for nothing that Ward is willing to risk being exposed to return to Coulson's side, he certainly has his own purpose, and what is that?

With many doubts, Ling Xiao followed Coulson and his party back to a secret base in the southeastern hinterland of Canada, but as soon as they stepped off the plane, a group of people were stunned, Simmons couldn't help but widen his eyes and asked, "Where did our Kun plane go?" ”
