"Yes." The subordinate nodded. "We compared the global databases and found no trace of either of them. We also checked the street surveillance footage. That yellow-skinned Easterner had appeared on the street out of nowhere from the very beginning. Sir, they seem like aliens."

Aliens...

Ordinary people might have considered aliens nothing more than an unrealistic fantasy.

But as a senior S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, Coulson knew very well that this world had indeed uncovered traces of aliens.

Such as certain ancient ruins that were utterly incomprehensible, as well as all manner of mysterious incidents.

"What are they doing now?" Coulson asked as he entered the elevator with several subordinates.

"They, uh, are gazing deeply into each other's eyes."

Shen He was still painstakingly trying to persuade Saiki Kusuo.

Since saying it aloud would have been troublesome, he simply stared sincerely at Saiki Kusuo and thought to himself.

I know you only want to live an ordinary life. There's nothing wrong with that. After all, what one lacks is what one treasures most. But it's hard for you to achieve that, isn't it? Most of your abilities have flaws, and you can't control them very well. They bring you pain. But perhaps I can help you?

Shen He's greatest advantage from having watched the anime was that he knew exactly what Saiki Kusuo wanted.

"You can help me?" Saiki Kusuo clearly did not believe him.

"Of course." Shen He nodded fiercely. "Your powers are so strong that you have to rely on the devices on your head to suppress them, or else you'll bring disaster upon others. But now, your powers have been weakened many times over. I believe that even if you took those things off your head now, you could still control them."

Saiki Kusuo fell silent for a moment.

This was indeed the first time he had encountered a situation where his powers had been suppressed so perfectly.

"Based on my guess, I can use these things called Enhancement Stones to continuously strengthen your current abilities." Seeing that Saiki Kusuo was somewhat tempted, Shen He pressed on. "And throughout the process, you can keep training and learning to control them. Just imagine it—if one day you could perfectly control your powers, you wouldn't be forced to hear all those noisy thoughts anymore, nor would you have to worry about hurting someone someday..."

Everything Shen He said was true.

He did not hide his thoughts either.

He truly needed Saiki Kusuo's power. At present, the only part of the Summoning System he had not tried was the Instance Center. Judging from the name alone, battles were unavoidable.

And pet food, items, even precious Gacha Stones—presumably, they could only be obtained from the Instance Center.

Coulson had reached the rooftop by then.

At first glance, he spotted the two seated there. Just as his subordinate had said, they were indeed silently gazing deeply into each other's eyes.

Out of an agent's habit, he first observed their microexpressions. They seemed extremely in sync: one gaze appeared to be anxiously conveying something, while the other held a trace of emotion and hesitation.

Then he looked around and saw several discarded boxes that appeared to have contained desserts.

Thinking back to the street surveillance footage he had watched earlier, Coulson made a bold guess.

They were a couple. After getting into an argument, they had accidentally exposed their superpowers. The delicate pink-haired youth who liked sweets was probably the bottom; perhaps one could even speculate further...

"If you keep letting your imagination run wild, I'll turn you into a woman, inside and out."

Without warning, a voice abruptly appeared in Coulson's mind.

His expression changed instantly. Telepathy? Memory reading? Mental intrusion? This was bad—his head contained far too many secrets.
