"Seriously, how long has it been since you took a shower?" On the highway in Colorado, Star-Lord Quill looked at the raccoon in the passenger seat with an open eyebrow. He shrugged his nose vigorously, not without disgust. Said: "I feel like your body is fermented and has a strange smell."
"It's worse than that. Maybe I just got drunk in the bar last night and was covered in vomit."
"Ugh! Damn it, get out of the car quickly, I'm going to give you a good rinse in the lake next to you!" Quill stepped on the accelerator and almost slapped the unbelted raccoon onto the windshield, but even if he didn't really Flying up, Rocket Raccoon's head hit the car hard.
"Oh my God!" Rocket Raccoon cursed in a low voice in a language that Star-Lord couldn't understand, and then said: "I lied to you, I am a raccoon. Raccoons love to be clean. Don't you know?"
"No, you have to get out of the car. I have to check your hygiene and make sure you don't have infectious diseases or anything... Oh my God, is there anything like the Wildlife Inspection and Quarantine Law here? Come and save me. ." Quill got out of the car without saying a word. He followed the front of the car and wanted to go around to the passenger side, but Rocket Raccoon quickly jumped onto the driver's seat, ran under the seat, and stepped on the accelerator hard. car
He rushed out with a "swish".
"Hey, my car! Wait, don't run, you damn raccoon!" A few minutes later, Star-Lord Quill was holding on to the front hood of the car and breathing heavily, while Rocket Raccoon sat in the driver's seat and took out the car. He picked his ears and said, "Who are you talking about as a wild animal that has not been inspected and quarantined?"
"You're cruel!" Quill gave Rocket Raccoon a middle finger, opened the driver's door, threw the raccoon into the passenger seat, sat back on it and said, "Stop making trouble, we have to get there before dark. When we get to the NASA base in Colorado, Lisa is still waiting for us." As soon as he closed the car door, Quill wrinkled his nose again and said, "Whether it is for people or wild animals, maintaining hygiene is helpful to the body. Healthy, I will ask them to find a place to give you a bath." There was actually a kind of concern in his tone, which made Rocket Raccoon turn his head away awkwardly, he discovered.
Star-Lord Peter Quill is actually a very common kind of good-natured man who is careless, cynical, and a bit stupid, but he can always express his concern for others inadvertently without making others feel panic. and embarrassment.
Rocket Raccoon held his two little paws and looked at the endless road in front of the car and said: "I have a hunch that you can understand it as the instinct of the beast. I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. Are you really ready? Quill's hand on the steering wheel tightened, but he still pretended not to care and said: "I have been in the interstellar society for so many years, what dangers have I not seen? Have I told you? This notorious Yondu, the interstellar pirate leader, can actually be regarded as my adoptive father and master." Rocket Raccoon's eyes widened, he stared at Quill and said: "Oh my God, do you know that he chased me up and down in the past few months? , don’t tell me there’s still your share here!”
"Of course not. I have been independent for a long time. Yondu has an extremely bad temper. In addition to cursing and beating others, he only calms down a little when he is drunk. I can't stand him, so after I become an adult, I will not plunder. The team did it well.”
"I dare say. This is the most correct decision you have ever made." Rocket Raccoon sighed and said: "The interstellar situation is about to be reshuffled. If Asgard wants to join the game and show its sincerity in maintaining interstellar security, it always needs to establish a Target, who do you think is the most suitable?"
"I don't care if the Predator dies or not." Quill shook his head and said, "But I know very well. Yondu can't die. Apart from his first-class ability to save lives, who do you think he was working for before? He has no backing. How can the Predator team live for so long?" One person and one raccoon kept chatting, occasionally revealing some of their views on interstellar society. In this way, the car quickly drove to NASA's space base in Colorado.
Lisa is a very common strong woman with a successful career. Not only is she an employee of NASA, she was even the commander before Quill left the earth.
Seeing this lady again, Quil had mixed feelings. What made him happy was that Lisa had taken good care of herself, which meant that her life in recent years should have been smooth sailing. Judging from the name of Sha, she should be married, even have a child, and her face is much older.
Quil and Lisa hugged, and Lisa looked at Quil with red eyes and said, "That's great, Peter, you are still alive. After that incident, I thought you were dead."
"I'm really sorry, Lisa. I shouldn't have been so impulsive. My youth and ignorance made you pay the price for me, but fortunately there is still a chance to make up for everything. I heard that you encountered some troubles. I I think I can definitely help.”
"Stop talking, Peter, I have never blamed you, but I did encounter some troubles. It would be great if you could help me." The two came to the office while reminiscing about the past, Rocket The raccoon pretended to be Quill's pet and didn't speak a word along the way, but Lisa still instinctively saw the difference in his eyes. After entering the office, she put her eyes on Rocket Raccoon's face.
"Your friend?" Lisa asked, looking at the raccoon.
"So be it." Quill nodded slightly. He sat down on the chair, put his hands in front of him, and said: "Thanks to my original impulse, I have been wandering in the interstellar society for a long time. I didn't expect that I After coming back, the earth has changed so much, and humans have begun to explore interstellar society." After saying that, Quill looked up and looked at the scene in the office. There were too many weird things that had never appeared in the era he left. items.
Lisa lowered her head and said: "When you and Mandro had a dispute, I know it was not your fault, but the director who was airborne at that time did not want me to get too involved in this matter. I could not change your fate of being expelled. .”
"And you impulsively drove away the Kree spaceship and sailed deep into the stars. I can't imagine what kind of danger you went through before you finally returned here, but I have always felt guilty."
"So Peter, if the situation wasn't really serious, I would never ask you for help."
"Of course, I understand you, Lisa. If you are not too self-reliant and don't ask for anything, then the position of NASA director is not enough to showcase your talents. I have always felt guilty for interfering with your career, but if The two of us are just guilty, so don't do anything else." Quill pretended to be joking, and he also succeeded in making Lisa laugh. She shook her head and said, "I don't do this to others. Emotional, okay, we really have to talk about business." Lisa showed a smile, walked to sit across from him, and said, "The good news is that because of the development of aerospace technology, I also have a broader career. Space." Lisa handed over a business card. After Quil took it, he found that the job title on it read
"Chief, NASA Accident Report Investigation Section." Quill raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't remember that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration has this department. Is it newly established?" Lisa nodded and said, "Yes, the development of aerospace technology will inevitably bring more aerospace science and technology." Accidents, I am responsible for handling these accidents, and I am already very busy, but recently, the head of NASA has added a more difficult task to this department." Lisa put her hands on the table and looked at it Quill said: "You should have heard before you left. Over the years, countless UFOs have crashed on the earth, just like this place is some kind of spacecraft cemetery. At the peak, there were more than 40 UFO investigation reports a week." I'll handle it."
"Originally, I was used to it, but recently, this thing has become more and more unusual. I'm very stressed about this, but I can't find any clue. Quil, I won't say those polite words anymore. As your friend, I have to ask for your help." Quil nodded and said, "My abilities are limited, but if there is anything I can do to help, I will do my best to help you." Lisa sighed. Quil took a breath, but felt a little surprised. He had never seen this strong woman show such a sad face, and then he heard Lisa say: "Most of the UFOs that crashed on the earth have been completely destroyed. The pilots The crew, passengers, and important parts of the spacecraft were all burned up as they fell through the atmosphere at high speed."
"But over the years, among so many accidents of UFO crashes, there are always a few lucky people who can still save something after falling to the ground." Quill nodded, while he was working I have also heard that something new was found in the remains of a certain UFO, but most of the time those things were useless. At that time, human technology was too backward, and the advanced alien civilization's creations could only be piled in warehouses. Ashes inside.
"Most of these lucky people don't carry any dangerous goods. What can be dug out are only spacecraft parts, but that small part is very bad...Have you heard of the Mandarin?" The urgent topic Quil didn't react to the switch, but Lisa didn't seem to expect him to answer. Instead, she explained to herself: "He is a notorious fugitive who has been entrenched on the remote borders of Eastern countries for a long time. The reason why he has been able to survive for so long is because of the mysterious Ten Commandments."
"The Ten Commandments are one of the treasures brought by an alien spacecraft when it landed on the earth. If it is taken away by people with evil intentions, it will bring terrible disasters."
"You mean..." Quill had a bad feeling.
"The director of the space agency who fired you has now secured his position. Unfortunately, another UFO crashed in the Rocky Mountains and was well preserved. The director believes that, There may be treasures like the Ten Rings in this spaceship." Lisa closed her eyes and said in a sad tone: "He thinks that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration should have comprehensive authority to investigate this UFO, and thinks that we should take the initiative, Fight with the FBI, S.H.I.E.L.D., or some similar agency for the right to investigate this ship."
"To this end, he has sent two scientific expedition teams, but they were completely wiped out. The team members also included Captain Couch, Old Ruiman and Professor Delta who are about to retire in just a few months." Quill's eyes widened. He stared at Lisa and raised his voice and said, "How dare he?! They are just scientific expedition personnel, not agents. How could he send them to die?!" Lisa covered her eyes. Said: "I have emphasized this to him a long time ago, but I can't stop him at all. He has been blinded by the powerful force. He believes that in this era when everyone is moving towards the interstellar space, NASA should occupy a more important role." He should also have a greater say in status, and if no one gives it to him, then he will fight for it himself."
"But he is doing something stupid, so stupid!" Quill gritted his teeth and cursed. Then he looked at Lisa and said, "Do you want me to investigate that spacecraft?"
"No, on the contrary, I object to anyone investigating that spacecraft. My rich professional experience tells me that there are no treasures on it, only endless dangers. So. I hope you can stop anyone who wants to investigate it. People, especially our colleagues, should not let them die again." Lisa looked into Quill's eyes and said: "I will send you to the forward base of the spacecraft crash investigation in a reasonable official name, but What you have to do is not to approach the spacecraft, but to stop the people sent by the director later. You can use any method, even kidnapping them." Quill also looked into Lisa's eyes and said: "I understand your good intentions. But you should know, Lisa, that this is not the answer.”
"The solution to the problem should not be given by us." Lisa's eyes were full of meaning. She looked at Quill and said: "This matter should be under the control of SHIELD. Do you understand what I mean?" outside the window. The light dimmed, and the reflection on the Hudson River shone into the room through the thin gauze curtains. The hand holding the quill finished writing another paragraph. The light outside the window fell on the end of the last ink, like a window that had just been opened. The dim light shines through the door that is opened a crack.
"I understand what Lisa means. Of course, in my short career, I have dealt with agents of SHIELD. I know clearly which part of the world they are responsible for security work - ordinary people People, that is, that part of me at that time, could never come into contact with, the part of the extremely cold iceberg buried deep under the water. There must be something in that spacecraft. I was so sure, because I was in Lisa, here In the eyes of a woman whose every wrinkle was etched with strength, I saw unspeakable fear.”
