Marvel: Spear Bureau Technical Advisor

The person who stepped out of the portal was so familiar that Coulson couldn't believe his eyes.Just when he was in a daze, that person had already seen Liana, turned around and walked towards this side, and in the blink of an eye, he came in front of the two of them.

"I thought you were preparing to deal with an alien invasion right now, so you shouldn't be so free." Liana tried to keep a straight face, talking to Qiangqian in a business-like manner.

Qin once joked that this is Her Majesty's little tsundere; every time she sees a playboy, she will secretly jump for joy, but her face has a look of indifference.

What's more interesting is that this kind of indifference and indifference often persists for less than a minute before melting under the playboy's hot kisses or rhetoric.

This time is no exception.

He stretched out his hand to wrap around Liana's slender waist, and caressed the sensitive parts of her waist and eyes imperceptibly with her big hand; Her Majesty's pretty face turned red visibly.

"The dangers of the real world have spread to the border of hell; compared, of course, this side is more important. Anyway, Rocky and his preferred invasion site is New York. Even if it is completely smashed, it is not as good as losing a hair of yours." I feel bad."

Her Majesty's face was completely burned up in a hopeless manner.Realizing that there was a stranger beside her, she broke free from Qianqian's embrace in a panic.

"This is the agent you sent, I received it for you."

Compared with Liana's embarrassment, Xiangqian's face was undoubtedly much thicker, and he greeted him indifferently: "Hi, Mr. Coulson; I just said that we will meet again soon."

"Zhan...X...Mr. Zion?" Until now, Coulson didn't believe that the person in front of him would be forward, and he used interrogative sentences when greeting him.

"What's wrong? Does the death process also cause language barriers for people?"

"Uh... no, of course, I mean, of course not." Coulson was like a malfunctioning computer program, constantly releasing the cache to restore normal, "Sorry, I just didn't expect that Mr. Zion and Kamatei Master Ji is actually the same person."

"Do you think there are irreconcilable contradictions between the two identities of a billionaire and a Karma Taj master?"

Coulson quickly shook his head: "No, it's not. I'm just...too unexpected."

"Yeah, in the short term, this secret will still be kept secret from S.H.I.E.L.D." Xiangqian smiled narrowly, "But since you're already dead, it doesn't matter. There is a saying—— Only the dead can keep secrets! Right?"

Coulson was finally sure that the man in front of him was indeed James Zion; such nasty jokes could only come from him or another playboy, Tony.

"Well, I have to say, it's an honor?" Coulson was still a little confused, "Mr. Zion, why did you bring me here on purpose? I heard from Ms. Liana that there are many territories in hell. I could have been sent anywhere else."

Qianqian smiled and said: "On the one hand, I think you are a good person, and I don't want you to end up in a miserable situation; you have also seen that Her Majesty the Queen on the border of hell is a living human being. She is also the only human being among all the lords of hell Therefore, the environment on the border of hell should be the best and the most kind for the dead."

"What about the other side?"

"On the other hand, Liana needs a helper." Xiang Qiang said, "She is the ruler of Limbo, but she doesn't have much interest in managing this place, so..."

"Ms. Liana needs a manager, just like a company hires a professional manager as the CEO?" Coulson looked around, only seeing a wilderness; "But I don't see that this place needs special management."

"Of course, because you are not a manager yet. You will know in a while." After speaking forward, he turned his head and pointed his gaze at Liana.

Liana asked: "Are you sure it's him? Not everyone can take on this responsibility. If you choose the wrong one, the soul of this agent will be lost forever."

"Of course, it's him. Only those who have a firm goal can have a firm will; there are not many people who can hold their mentality well in the face of power so that they will not be out of balance, and even fewer have died recently." Looking forward to the department Ersen, speaking words that the other party did not understand at all.

Coulson looked blankly at the two people who were asking and answering, and saw Liana suddenly raised her hand towards him; knowing nothing about the situation made him subconsciously resist: "Wait a minute, I don't actually understand ……Well!"

A strong sense of swelling erupted from the chest and abdomen, holding back all Coulson's unfinished words.

The originally unconscious spirit body seemed to regain physical consciousness in an instant, causing Coulson to feel severe pain.But this is completely an illusion.

Coulson is still in the state of the spirit body. The so-called "pain" is because his spirit body is being torn apart by a strange energy.This energy spread from the center of the spiritual body, gradually soaking every inch of his soul.

The energy infestation caused a great change in the state of Coulson's spirit body. Wherever the energy infestation went, the originally transparent and colorless spirit body was covered with a layer of dead grayish white.

Coulson didn't know what happened, and he was powerless to stop it; the intense feeling of "pain" gradually dissipated only after his entire spiritual body turned gray-white.

Just like when he was alive, he let out a long breath.

"What happened? What did you do to me?" Coulson looked at his spirit body, the strange gray-white color made people feel ominous at first glance.

Liana said, "Why don't you look around before answering your question?"

Coulson looked around suspiciously, and was taken aback by the sight in front of him.

In the barren land that was originally empty and deserted, suddenly there are countless "figures"; these transparent and colorless figures have dull eyes and slow movements, wandering aimlessly back and forth on the wasteland.

"What is that?" Coulson quickly realized, "Are those the souls of the dead?"

"Yes, they are all dead souls." Liana said, "To be precise, it is not limited to humans on Earth; Limbo will accept intelligent life from any planet, any civilization, or race in the universe. As long as intelligent life dies, their Souls will go to hell. I have given you the authority and ability to manage them."

"You want me to manage these dead souls?"

"Not only the undead, but also the native creatures on the border of hell." Liana said, "There are not only the undead in hell, but also the native creatures born with hell. For the native creatures in hell, the undead are like a delicious dish For dessert, the higher the quality of the soul, the more they will covet and compete for it."

"Should this behavior be stopped?"

"This is part of the natural cycle of the hell dimension, and it cannot be stopped. It's like you can't stop cattle and sheep from grazing, and tigers and wolves from hunting." Xiang Qiang said, "What you have to do is to establish a reasonable and efficient order for this cycle .”

"What kind of order?" Coulson was puzzled. "It seems that the law of the jungle was followed here before; why do you want to re-establish the order? What kind of order do you want to establish?"

"Have you ever read fairy tales?" asked Qiangqian.

"I heard some of it when I was a kid."

"In myths and stories, what are hell and the underworld used for? Or, what is the duty of the master of the underworld?" Xiangqian asked again.

Coulson thought for a while and gave a short answer: "Judgment!"

"Good answer!" exclaimed Qiangqian, "You are worthy of being one of the most outstanding agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

"You want me to judge these souls?" Coulson was shocked.

Added forward: "Their final destination will also be determined according to the results of the trial: whether to be sent to be devoured by the original creatures, or to live freely in the border of hell, or to enter the soul melting pot of hell to return to the source, waiting for the future to become a new soul."

Coulson looked around again, and the dense "figures" around him made his scalp tingle.

"How many dead souls are there here? One hundred thousand, or one million?"

Qianqian didn't know the answer to this question, so he turned to look at Liana.

Her Majesty the Queen said leisurely: "The border of hell is the smallest territory in hell, and it is also the place where the source of death is the weakest; therefore, there are far fewer dead souls arriving here than in other territories."

Coulson breathed a sigh of relief, but heard Her Majesty continue to say: "There are about 7000 million dead souls that have not been dealt with, and about 20 new dead souls will be added every day."

"Uh..." Coulson was dumbfounded.

Spreading his hands forward: "Hell connects the entire universe; think about the vastness of the universe, so many civilizations, so many intelligent life, this number is already considered small."

Coulson smiled wryly: "Actually, I think you should ask me if I would like to submit my resume before recruiting."

Xiangqian smiled happily, even Liana had a playful smile on her face.

"Mr. Coulson, you have dealt with me more than once. Whether it is the identity of James Zion or the identity of Master Karma Taj, which one will make you think that I am a good man who is easy to talk and talk about?" 'This illusion?"

"Alas..." Coulson rubbed his forehead habitually, just like when he was in trouble before his death.It seems that Mr. Agent is planning to accept his fate.

"Don't be so sad, Coulson; in fact, this job is not as difficult as it seems." Qianqian comforted, "The Lord of Hell is almost omniscient in his own territory, and the power she bestows on you is also extremely powerful. You don't think that Will the so-called trial be like a judge in another world, examining the evidence, hearing arguments, closing arguments, and then hammering the hammer to deliver the verdict?"

"if not?"

"I think you can think of yourself as a super processor with an infinite number of threads." Forward's metaphor is very technical, "Within your tolerance, you can open countless trials at the same time, And there is no need for evidentiary testimony and debate.

The Lord of Hell can check every memory of the dead soul in every possible way-even if the memory is even forgotten by the dead soul himself.Now, you, empowered, can do it too. "

"Me? What should I do?" Coulson looked at himself in a daze. When he turned his thoughts to check his memory and at the same time cast his eyes on a ghost drifting by not far away, he suddenly froze.

He saw the care of his parents when he was young, he saw the carefree play in childhood, he saw his heart for the opposite sex for the first time when he was a teenager, he saw the running around in middle age, he saw the sickness after old age...

For a brief moment, he saw the life of the dead soul—including his happiness, pain, right and wrong, good deeds and crimes.

"Understood?" The forward voice pulled Coulson back, "Now you are Anubis and Amit, Aiagos, Minos and Ladamantis, It's also a bull-headed horse-faced judge."

Coulson was stunned for a while, then muttered to himself, "I have a lot of part-time jobs."

"Yes, you have a great responsibility." Xiang Qiang said, "But the only thing you have to do is to maintain a fair heart."

"No, actually what I want to ask is... If I do so many part-time jobs at the same time, will my salary also be more?" Coulson, who recovered from the shock, also regained a bit of American sense of humor .

"I don't mind paying you, but where are you going to find a Wal-Mart?" Liana asked back with the same dry humor; she had already learned from the past.

"Uh..." Coulson looked around, "Then there must be no e-commerce shopping here, right?"

"If you need, I can talk to a few e-commerce bosses and ask them if they would like to start a new business in hell." Xiangqian complained, "I think this group of people are black people, and they shouldn't mind making money and hell devil's money."

"Hehe..." Coulson responded.

"Although there is no salary, I can give you other benefits." Compared with Xiangqian, Liana is more conscientious, and she can't do anything that makes people work for nothing - even if it is a dead person.

"May I ask what the benefits are?"

"For example, the authority you have now can designate someone to let his soul go straight to the border of hell after death, instead of falling into other worse hells."

Coulson was greatly moved: "Anyone's?"

"Yes, anyone. Family, friends, anyone," Liana said.

Qianqian reminded maliciously: "It can also be an enemy, an enemy. Believe me, sometimes seeing an enemy in hell is more enjoyable than seeing a relative - especially when you have mastered the power of hell. "

Coulson forced a happy face: "Speaking of which, I am very motivated. When should I start working, Your Majesty the Queen?"

"Not yet." Qianqian interrupted Liana, "There is a more important task now."

"Is it the crisis you said spread here from the real world?"

"That's right." Xiang Qiang said, "Using the Rubik's Cube, Loki and his accomplices opened many passages from hell to the earth. The border of hell is probably one of the places with the most passages."

"Are you trying to say that the devils from hell will invade Earth on a large scale?" Liana asked.

"If we can't stop them, it will happen." Xiang Qiang said, "We must try our best to block the passage before more devils find out."

Qianqian said to Coulson meaningfully: "Before fulfilling your new responsibilities, I'm afraid you will have to fight for the earth you once protected."

"That's my pleasure!" Coulson said.
