Shortly after Phil Coulson reported the intelligence through standard procedures, a Quinjet landed and picked him up.
With such a massive fire, one could even call it an inferno, no clues would remain, so Phil Coulson naturally had no reason to stay at the scene.
The remaining matters were handed over directly to the New York authorities, and S.H.I.E.L.D. withdrew.
In fact, Nick Fury was somewhat relieved internally. He had initially thought it was just a private act of revenge, and S.H.I.E.L.D. had only arranged for surveillance.
Otherwise, in an inferno, no matter how many Agents S.H.I.E.L.D. meticulously trained, it wouldn't be enough to burn!
"Coulson, you've met that 'Invisible Monitor'?
"Do you know who he is? First contact, what's his personality like?"
In Nick Fury's private office, Black Egg summoned his capable general.
"My Lord Director, what are you talking about?"
"When did I ever come into contact with the 'Invisible Monitor'?"
"Didn't you tell me to contact the two street heroes in Hell's Kitchen called 'Big Daddy' and 'Hit-Girl'?"
"And who is this 'Invisible Monitor'?"
The more Coulson spoke, the more his brow furrowed, feeling as if there was something he couldn't quite remember.
Black Egg, on the other hand, grew more and more shocked the more he listened. What kind of superpower was this? Not only was he not captured by surveillance, but he could also delete memories?
Black Egg did not doubt Coulson's loyalty. After all, the two had known each other since fighting aliens.
Although Phil Coulson was just a rookie who had just started then, Black Egg knew him inside and out!
"Look at this!"
Black Egg didn't say much, just turned the tablet in his hand, facing the screen towards Coulson.
The screen was playing some bizarre footage of the 'Invisible Monitor' captured by surveillance.
"Wait!"
"I seem to remember something?"
"Huh?"
"How come I don't seem to remember anything again?"
"Right, I received an order from the Director to contact three people."
"Three people?"
"Oh, right, three people."
"Eh? Who is this third person?"
"Why is the impression so vague?"
"Height? Can't remember!"
"Physique? Can't remember!"
"Attire? Can't remember!"
"Appearance? No impression at all!"
"Voice? Can't re... huh? I still remember it was a male voice."
..."Director, it seems I did indeed come into contact with a super-powered individual!"
Glancing at the black-faced Director who had returned to normal, Phil Coulson, however, was in shock!
What kind of black technology was this, for TM's sake?
"Is this an incomplete memory deletion technology or a superpower?"
"Or is this a technology, a superpower, that allows people to forget some memories?"
"Director!"
"I think we should make some preparations for this!"
Phil Coulson's expression became serious.
As a fanboy who idolized Captain America and dedicated his life to him, Phil Coulson would absolutely not allow such an overpowered individual to operate outside of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s control.
In fact, this was one of the reasons Michael was not prepared to contact S.H.I.E.L.D.
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s actions might be for the good of the entire World, but Michael did not agree with their methods.
In Michael's opinion, some of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s methods were even worse than HYDRA's!
HYDRA, at least, knew to entice before coercing, but S.H.I.E.L.D. skipped the enticement entirely, leaving only coercion.
If you voluntarily accepted S.H.I.E.L.D.'s surveillance, everything would be fine.
If you didn't accept S.H.I.E.L.D.'s surveillance, or even control, they would simply beat you until you did.
Throughout the Marvel movie series, Michael found that S.H.I.E.L.D. only did one thing:
"We're doing this for your own good, you must listen to us!"
"We are doing the right thing, you must listen to us!"
"You've developed a powerful weapon, you must listen to us!"
"To hell with listening to you!"
Do others not have their own opinions? Or are others idiots?
One could even say that, based on this point, even without HYDRA, that rat hidden within S.H.I.E.L.D., Michael would naturally never get along with S.H.I.E.L.D.!
"You have abilities, so you must accept our surveillance?"
Michael: "Heh heh da! Get lost!"
...Time rewound to the moment Phil Coulson was secretly taken away.
After leaving the church, Michael quickly headed towards the blazing dock.
When Phil Coulson was taken away, he happened to be mingling in the crowd, arriving just outside the quarantine zone that the town Police had set up at the dock.
Michael's 'rorschach's forgotten mask' did not cause panic among the surrounding crowd.
In fact, many people with an abundance of 'adventurous spirit' thought Michael's attire was cool.
Especially the inkblots on the mask, which changed irregularly with his breathing, made the surrounding people incredibly envious.
A group of people exclaimed: "This mask is so cool!"
...Michael frowned.
Although he knew no surveillance could capture him.
And these people around him would soon forget him.
But being surrounded like this now prevented Michael from doing what he wanted to do.
After all, if he ignored the surrounding people to 'reclaim' energy, it might attract the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D. or some other intelligence agency.
So, Michael could only once again expend his already limited energy to actively activate the inherent attribute of 'rorschach's forgotten mask'.
The special attribute of 'rorschach's forgotten mask' was slowly activated.
But when Michael actively injected energy to activate it.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the crowd that had been surrounding Michael immediately dispersed, and began to express their indignation towards the raging fire at the dock!
At this moment, Michael was like an invisible presence in their eyes. Even the town Police who were originally walking towards him unhesitatingly turned around to stop those rebellious youths who wanted to break through the quarantine zone.
"Whew~~"
"I didn't expect that American Federation people also have the attribute of gathering to watch the drama~"
Wiping his forehead, which was actually a smooth part of the mask, as if wiping away cold sweat, Michael couldn't help but sigh.
