"You actually placed the things near the police station. What a good idea!"

Seeing Mindy actually pointing at a vending machine and saying that the thing was there, Li Congxin couldn't help but think of a plot in "Captain America 2" in his mind. However, after looking at the surrounding environment, he still couldn't help but give Mindy a thumbs up and praise.

Arriving at the vending machine, Li Congxin looked through the glass window at the shelves inside one by one, expecting to find something similar to a USB flash drive, but found nothing.

By the way, this USB flash drive must have been intercepted by someone, right?

With this thought in mind, Li Congxin looked towards Mindy... Where is Mindy?

"Damn it, why is the USB flash drive missing?"

Looking around, he saw Mindy hiding behind the vending machine, lying on the ground looking for something.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Congxin couldn't help but ask, "Well, didn't you put the things in the vending machine?"

Mindy raised his head and said dissatisfiedly, "If anyone could stuff things into the vending machine, then the homeless people would have stolen all the stuff here!"

Shaking his head, Li Congxin began to look around cautiously. Irrelevant people will not waste so much effort to get a USB flash drive without knowing its function, so the thing can only be taken away by the Hand or someone else.

If it is someone from the Hand, that thing must not be found. If it is someone else, the other person might be nearby!

Sure enough, just when Li Congxin turned around and looked around, they saw a bald black man wearing a black windbreaker walking towards them. This outfit combined with his skin color, if it appears at night, it will be a natural protective color. As long as he does not open his mouth, he can perfectly blend into the night!

After taking a closer look at the other party's dress and appearance, a Chinese word popped out of Li Congxin's mouth subconsciously. "Egghead?"

Received Impression Points+2333 from Nick Fury!

Sure enough it was him!

"Giving nicknames to others when you first meet is not the way you, a country of etiquette, should behave." Egghead reminded with dissatisfaction, a dark face on his face. "I understand your Chinese language."

Li Congxin laughed dryly, then changed the subject naturally and said, "Did you take that USB flash drive?"

Egghead didn't mean to deny it at all. He even took out two USB flash drives from his coat pocket and handed them to Li Congxin. Under his doubtful gaze, he said, "One of them is the clues left by Officer Marcus during his lifetime, but I don't think he found many things. The other one is the friendly help I provided you. It contains a lot of secret information about the Hand."

Li Congxin was stunned when he heard this. "Why do you want to help us?"

Although it is good to get first-hand internal information, Li Congxin does not want to be used as a weapon by others.

If S.H.I.E.L.D. himself already wants to attack the Hand, but wants to use their hands to complete this dangerous mission, Li Congxin will inevitably have to bargain with the other party.

Egghead curled his lips disdainfully when he heard this and said, "Don't be too sentimental, I'm not helping you. Frank Castle was once my closest comrade-in-arms, and I was here to help him."

After a slight pause, he added, "Just because of my current job, I can't personally help him. Providing you with this information is the limit of what I can do."

After saying that, Egghead turned around, walked into a black car parked on the side of the road without looking back, and then walked away.

Looking back, Li Congxin suddenly found Mindy staring at a poster on the wall near the vending machine. Following the other person's gaze, he saw that there was a photo of Marcus wearing a police uniform, and written below were his glorious deeds over the years as a police officer.

Patting Mindy on the shoulder, Li Congxin suddenly discovered that there was another poster of a police officer posted side by side next to Marcus's poster. The photo on that poster is not Damon, Mindy's father, but an old man with white hair and a kind smile.

Received Impression Points from Cosmic Source Will, and the new system function "Free Play" is unlocked!

Free Play:

The host can choose to play any piece of music in your memory. Not only can you enjoy it yourself, but you can also share the charm of music with others. Of course, there is no auxiliary effect when playing music other than the activated BGM.

Cosmic Source Will!

It's Cosmic Source Will again!

Li Congxin As his heart moved, a flower suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. However, he saw that the previous poster with the mysterious white-haired old man had disappeared, and there was only a poster of Marcus on the wall next to the vending machine.

Does it have to be so magical every time?

However, although the awakening function this time is useless, Li Congxin has vaguely guessed who the so-called Cosmic Source Will is.

On December 23, it snowed heavily on New York City.

People wore uniform black suits to attend the funeral of Marcus.

The people attending the funeral were mainly Marcus's colleagues in the police station. Non-police officers like Li Congxin and Mindy only accounted for a very small part of the entire funeral, which seemed a bit strange.

Standing in the corner of the crowd, Li Congxin silently bid farewell to the elder who had given them countless help. Li Congxin walked home in silence.

Hearing the faint sound of footsteps on the snow, it was as if there were no other sounds in the world. The hustle and bustle of the city was still there, but it was automatically filtered out in Li Congxin's ears.

At this moment, he only felt that the world around him was so quiet and lonely.

Mindy followed Li Congxin very sensibly, without saying a word, but silently speeding up his pace to accommodate the elder brother Clark in front of him who was used to walking like the wind.

Along the way, the two of them were silent. It was as if they were two unrelated passers-by who just happened to be walking on the same road.

After turning a fork in the road again, Mindy suddenly stopped, breaking the original tacit understanding between the two.

After a pause, Li Congxin asked without looking back, "Are you tired from walking?"

Although he knew Li Congxin couldn't see it, Mindy still shook his head. "I'm thinking, where should I go next?"

Li Congxin: "Yes, you need a guardian."

Mindy's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately suggested. "How about you be my guardian?"

Without waiting for Li Congxin to reply, he immediately added, "I have three million in hand now. I can leave them all to you for safekeeping as my room and board expenses. Besides, I can take care of myself and won't cause you any trouble."

It has to be said that superheroing is a relatively profitable profession if done well.

Just like Mindy father and daughter, they specialize in dealing with drug criminals, punishing evil and promoting good, while also robbing the rich and giving to the poor.

Rob the drug criminals' wealth to help their own poverty.

There are really not many "perfect heroes" like Little Spider who have headaches for living expenses.

Three million, for America in 1998, was already a huge sum of money. However, after Li Congxin heard this number, he just smiled softly, "You should keep the three million to buy candies for yourself. My current monthly royalties are more than three times this number."

Mindy Hearing this, his originally excited little face suddenly became depressed. "Isn't it possible?"

But Li Congxin suddenly turned around, walked to her side, stretched out his hand to rub her little head, and said with a smile, "What are you thinking about?"

"Let's go home!"
