Chapter 2117 The Ultimate New World (Twenty-Three)
When he came out of Adela's house, the rain had stopped. Colson took the recorded documents and walked from the awning on the side of the house to the garage. He turned to look at the assistant next to him and asked: "Two doctors Woolen cloth?"
"They checked the car's fuel tank in the garage to see if there was any oil leakage. They also checked the navigation equipment in the car to check the time when the navigation signal was sent."
Coulson opened the garage door and walked in. He found Simmons and Fitz squatting next to the jack to check something, while the other stood aside with something to record.
"Good news, Colson, we are here to survive." Fitz stood up, took off his gloves, looked at Colson and said, "Notify the boss that it is confirmed to be a supernatural incident, and a full investigation can be launched."
Colson frowned and asked, "How are you sure?"
Fitz pointed to the car's fuel tank and said: "First of all, there is no oil leakage in the fuel tank, and no parts are damaged. Secondly, based on the state of the gasoline stuck to the fuel tank, we can determine the last refueling time."
"She has never refueled since she came back from Canada. The car was towed back." Simmons said: "The state of the gasoline left on the fuel tank is consistent with what this lady said she had done the last time she refueled." The residual condition of the gasoline provided by the station is consistent.”
"So?" Coulson asked next.
Fitz sighed and said, "This shows that this lady did fill up a full tank of gas at the gas station she mentioned. We found her credit card bill and traces of gas in the gas station's charging system. It proves this.”
"The traces on the fuel tank can also show that the fuel was indeed filled up at that time. If the fuel tank was not damaged, it would be impossible to consume a full tank of fuel when driving to the gas station, but the fuel disappeared out of thin air."
"It's not like it disappeared out of thin air." Simmons walked to the engine of the vehicle and said: "We checked the engine for wear and tear, and what is certain is that the mileage traveled in one week must be far more than the mileage from New York to the Canadian border. The distance is at least two to three hundred kilometers longer.”
"Are there cameras at the border crossing?"
"Yes, but the use of surveillance equipment requires the consent of Canada, and we are trying to get it." Mei said, "Do you want to continue to the next place to investigate?"
"This is already the fourth location, right?" Colson frowned deeply and said, "Every witness has left evidence, but every witness has not left any real shooting images. I It’s hard to imagine what this mysterious visitor from the fog looks like.”
"I agree, we can't just go see Nick like this." Simmons sighed and said, "His curses will spread throughout the physical evidence analysis building, and then all our bonuses will be deducted."
"We have to find a way to catch the tail of this mysterious 'Fogger'. This is the code name I gave him." Colson shrugged and said, "But I have to admit that the source of inspiration is the name Nick gave to this project."
"I don't know what the boss has gone crazy about recently." Colson put his hand on the edge of the car and said: "I'm going to call the people in the information collection and analysis department later to check if there is anything suspicious around here. Psychiatrist.”
"Psychiatrist? What does this have to do with a psychiatrist? I think the mental state of the subjects we investigated is pretty good, and it's not time to seek help from a psychiatrist." Fitz raised his head and said with some doubts.
"I don't know, I'm just repeating his order." Coulson spread his hands and said: "Don't you think the word suspicious psychiatrist is suspicious in itself? Stop making trouble, why is the psychiatrist here? Aren’t they serving the upper class in this remote place?”
"That's easy to handle. I'll make a call later." Simmons nodded and said, "As long as you are a licensed doctor, you will definitely be able to find something. Do you think these two things are related?"
"I don't know what's going on with Nick, but he probably thinks some psychiatrist is responsible for this."
"It's nonsense." Simmons commented: "I guess it must be that some psychiatrist who did a psychological evaluation on him didn't give him the results he wanted, so he took revenge."
At this moment, Colson's communicator suddenly rang. After Colson picked up, Nick's roar came from the other side.
"I know what you assholes are speculating, but I'm not kidding you, go check with a psychiatrist, oh yeah, don't just check with a psychiatrist, check with a surgeon, a psychiatrist, whatever. Doctors, or those suspicious people on the street asking if you need help.”
"Boss, good news. After interviewing several witnesses, we found that this incident may indeed be a supernatural phenomenon."
"What the fuck is this good news?!"
"The good news is that there is currently no connection between this and the mutation in San Francisco residents."
"Temporarily? Huh?"
Coulson could clearly feel Nick's irritability at this time, but the most affable and good-guy agent was very used to his boss being a stress monster.
He listened to Nick's rant and then said: "We have contacted the information department. If he holds any doctor's license, he will not escape our sight."
"I don't think we should be diverted now." Coulson reminded, he said: "I think we are getting closer to the 'Fogger', we will go to the next sighting location to investigate, Waiting for our good news, Director."
Nick hung up the phone and sighed deeply. He rested his hands on the table and looked at the photos on the table with a puzzled look between his eyebrows.
If before the investigation, Nick was about 80% sure that this matter was another ball of wool made by Schiller, now he is indeed a little uncertain. One obvious problem is that fog is indeed one of Schiller's characteristics, but Nick has never seen Schiller use his fog-like symbiote to do anything other than escape.
Nick really has never seen Schiller fight with gray fog, or everyone in the Marvel world has hardly seen gray fog, and they have almost no knowledge of this mysterious symbiote.
The reason is that Schiller does not use symbiotes at all. Schiller's ability to cause trouble does not come from his force. The symbiote provides a certain self-protection ability, but under Schiller's series of big plans, it is not Schiller who needs self-protection ability.
Therefore, the people around Schiller's understanding of the symbiont in Schiller's body is probably that he has a strong protective ability, which can make Schiller disperse into a ball of fog that no one can attack. There is nothing else.
But then again, it doesn't mean that all the fog in the world is Schiller. If you want to talk about Schiller's characteristics, any one of them is more obvious than the fog. It is impossible that a mysterious person related to fog must be Schiller.
What makes Nick most shaken is that this style of doing things is not like Schiller.
First, Schiller has always adhered to the style of hiding behind the scenes if he can avoid taking action personally. Even if he appears, it is the second half of the matter. The matter is basically clear and the truth is almost impossible to hide. Only then does he appear at the critical node to promote the development of things.
Second, Schiller is a person who pursues efficiency. He has time to appear in person to play supernatural phenomena. Ten thousand balls of wool have been wound up. Nick, who is also a profiteer who exploits himself, feels that Schiller will not do such a loss-making thing.
In fact, the second point is the main reason for Nick's suspicion.
The photos and investigation reports on the table all showed that within this week, this mysterious creature code-named "Fog Guest" has been wandering around the Canadian border and New York State.
If this was Schiller himself, it would definitely take up a lot of his time, but he would not see any rewards. If this phenomenon was created by Schiller, then it should have at least some purpose, right? What is he wandering around here?
Connecting all the eyewitness clues, after comprehensive analysis by various information analysis departments, physical evidence analysis departments, and behavioral science analysis departments, it was found that this mysterious visitor in the fog was nothing but pure wandering.
Everyone wanted to know what he was wandering about, but unfortunately some witnesses were very timid and ran away when they saw him, while others were very brave and wanted to rush up to him when they saw him, but so far, no one has really touched the Fog Guest, and no one has successfully communicated with him.
The Fog Guest wandered too widely and too frequently. Now all kinds of rumors are rampant, the public has different opinions, and the media has different opinions. Anyway, it is a sensation.
Moreover, it seems that because this mysterious phenomenon does not show any aggression, some people have already begun to summon the fog guest.
At the same time, since Nick came, he has been secretly investigating the mutation of San Francisco residents, but this cannot be hidden from the eyes of some people. Some people do not want him to investigate, so they have put a lot of resistance on this matter.
Then the way to put resistance is to further hype the mysterious incident of the fog guest to the world, forcing the SHIELD, which is responsible for supernatural events, to shift most of its attention to this matter, so as to give an explanation to the superiors.
Combined with the messy rituals that have no scientific basis at all started by those jumping up and down Internet celebrity reporters, Nick's worries have gradually changed from whether Schiller was involved in this matter to how he should get out of this matter and complete his purpose here, that is, to stop Bruce.
Nick feels that although the secret investigation of the mutation of San Francisco residents cannot be stopped, the investigation of the fog guest must also be accelerated. After thinking for a while, he decided to call Coulson to inquire about the progress of the investigation.
Nick just picked up the phone, and it rang. Nick picked it up and saw that it was Coulson who called.
"I saw him! I saw him!" Coulson's roar and the sound of fierce whistling wind came from the phone.
"Eyes! He is watching... beep beep--"
"Hello? Coulson! Coulson!!!!" Nick shouted Coulson's name to the other end of the phone, but the call had been hung up.
Nick clenched the phone angrily and slammed it on the table, but soon picked up the phone and a document at hand and walked towards the information department of SHIELD. He had to contact the members of Coulson's team to find out what they had encountered.
Coulson opened the car door and walked into the thick fog. Standing in the middle of the road, he stared at the shadow in the depths of the thick fog in shock.
"God... they didn't lie." Coulson stared at the shadow and exclaimed: "He really exists, a visitor in the fog, he really exists."
The two scientists sitting in the back seat also got off, frowning at the figure in the fog.
"What does he want?" Simmons asked.
"What is he looking at?" Fitz said almost in unison with him.
Then they looked at each other, all feeling surprised. Simmons was the first to say, "I feel like he wants to communicate with us. He may want to get something from us."
"He's watching us." Coulson stared at the figure and said, "He's watching us. He wants to convey a message. What does he want to say?"
