In the chaotic Sixth District of Brooklyn, it is undoubtedly the most dangerous area. If not for the cheap rent, no one in their right mind would choose to live here.
William has lived here for many years, watching his neighbors come and go, from petty gangsters to police officers, from female students to athletes...
Yet, he never expected that one day, an agent would move in right next door!
"Don't worry, I'm here to protect you." Coulson said this, but William knew he was definitely here to monitor him. Still, this motive seemed a bit too obvious.
Coulson took something resembling a wallet from his suitcase. William opened it to find it was an S.H.I.E.L.D. credential, complete with his own photo, name, and title—S.H.I.E.L.D. Consultant.
"William, you have successfully completed the side mission: S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent. Congratulations on gaining experience rewards; your level has increased to 3. Rewards obtained: Loot Box x1, Gold x200."
Just as William saw the credential, Athena's voice rang out. He had been wondering why the side mission hadn't been completed even after he agreed to join S.H.I.E.L.D.
It turned out that he only truly joined S.H.I.E.L.D. once he held the credentials in his hands.
"This is your identification. After some discussion, we decided that you should continue your work as a pizza delivery man for now." Coulson said with a serious expression:
"That is your cover identity. Your true identity is now S.H.I.E.L.D. Consultant, and you will help us resolve various issues. Of course, we will provide appropriate compensation!"
William curled his lip. Using a pizza delivery job to cover his operations—that was definitely S.H.I.E.L.D.'s style.
"If there's nothing else, I'm going in." William yawned and said, "I've been busy all day and I'm exhausted. I'm going to sleep now; I have to get up early for work tomorrow."
"Call me if you need anything." Coulson gave him a meaningful look. "Remember, I live right next door."
Back inside, William quickly locked the door. He searched everywhere for hidden cameras or bugs; he certainly didn't want to be watched or listened to while showering or using the bathroom.
After searching for a long time without finding anything, he finally felt at ease. If nothing else, his home was so poor that there were basically no places to hide anything. Who would have thought that being poor had its perks?
However, he had already applied for a salary advance from S.H.I.E.L.D. After being in the Marvel world for so long, he could finally escape poverty.
"William, you have one Loot Box. Would you like me to open it for you?"
William was in a good mood. He wanted to sleep early tonight and didn't plan on waiting until midnight to open it.
"Open it now!"
The solitary Loot Box appeared in his mind. Accompanied by cheerful music, the box began to vibrate, and three streaks of light shot out, catching his eye.
White! Blue...
It looked like another case of "blue skies and white clouds." Just as William felt a hint of disappointment, the third reward flew out—it was green!
Green? If William remembered correctly, the Overwatch System Loot Box rewards came in four tiers: white, blue, purple, and gold. There was also a special item type that was green.
An Overwatch hero!
The chance of getting a hero from a box was extremely low, which was why it had taken William five or six boxes to get his second hero. Now, he was very curious: who would this new hero be?
"Honor is in death, redemption is in honor."
The mysterious man before him had his hair tied back, a stylish, slanted fringe across his forehead, and a few strands of white at his temples.
His left chest was exposed, engraved with a massive dragon tattoo. His right arm and legs were equipped with high-tech gear that allowed him to scale walls and vault over obstacles. A sake gourd hung from his waist, a quiver was strapped to his back, and he held a longbow in his hand.
"Han... Hanzo?" William never expected his second hero to be Hanzo.
Why was he surprised? Because in the Overwatch game, Hanzo occupied a very awkward position.
Hanzo's bow possessed various powerful abilities; he could fire a Sonic Arrow to scout enemies, or a Scatter Arrow to strike multiple targets. He could also climb walls or obstacles to attack from high ground, or summon the terrifying Dragonstrike to devour his foes.
In that sense, Hanzo should be a formidable character, but his difficulty was immense and he was very hard to master.
You could never be sure if the arrows you fired would hit the enemy; sometimes you didn't even aim and still managed to kill someone. Thus, nicknames like "Luck-shot Hanzo" and "Mystical Hanzo" began to circulate.
A powerful Hanzo was the most terrifying sniper, rivaling even Widowmaker, provided you could actually aim. However, many novice players loved to play Hanzo, easily throwing games and dragging their teammates down because they couldn't hit their targets.
William wore an awkward expression. He didn't know if pulling Hanzo was a good thing or a bad thing, especially since he belonged to the group of people who couldn't aim.
"Athena, I need to practice!"
William said in a deep voice. He knew the next battle wasn't far off, and he had to master Hanzo's archery and skills before then. After all, Hanzo's ultimate was incredibly cool!
"Entering Virtual Training Grounds..."
Just as William called out to Athena, the Overwatch emblem on the back of his hand lit up. White light particles enveloped his body, and when the glow faded, his figure vanished. No one knew where he had gone.
William had searched the entire house and found no cameras or bugs, but he had forgotten one place: the Captain America poster on the wall.
Right in Captain America's eye was a pinhole camera, and at this very moment, the lens shifted. If you weren't looking with a magnifying glass, it would be impossible to detect.
Coulson was cleaning the room with a look of frustration. Under Nick Fury's orders, he had moved in next door to William. The camera in Captain America's eye had been secretly installed by S.H.I.E.L.D. to better monitor him.
But the condition of this rental was truly abysmal; there was dust everywhere, and Coulson had even found a dead mouse under the sofa.
After tidying up a bit, he hurriedly activated the monitor, never expecting to see such a shocking scene.
A moment ago, William had been sitting obediently on his bed, but the next, his entire body was surrounded by white light, and in the blink of an eye, he vanished from the room without a trace.
Coulson couldn't believe his eyes. How could a living person disappear right under his nose?
Director Fury's order was to keep a close eye on William, but now that the target was gone, what was he supposed to do?
"Sir, I've encountered an emergency. The target has disappeared!" Coulson hesitated for a moment before making the call.
"What? Disappeared?" Nick Fury's voice sounded surprised. "Keep watching. Notify me the moment he reappears."
"Yes!"
