Chapter 310-312 (1/2)

Shout!
After hanging up on Lin Rui, Thor relaxes and leans back on the sofa. The night and morning of worry finally disappeared because of the phone call. Thor had not been so worried about a person in a long time.
At Asgard, Thor was an omnipotent G.o.d. He only charged in the battlefield and his comrades were all brave warriors, so he didn’t have to worry about anything at all. On earth, Thor is just an ordinary person. He doesn’t need to worry about Asgard’s affairs for the time being. His girlfriend has broken up with him and the only person who can be considered close to him is Jackson. That’s why Thor was so worried about him. He has no one on Earth beside his friend.
“What kind of job am I going to get?” Leaning back on the sofa, Thor, who no longer has to worry about Lin Rui’s safety, frets about his life on earth, something he never had to worry about when he was in Asgard.
“However, since Jackson said he would help me, he should be able to help me find the right job for myself.” After thinking about it for a long time, Thor finally realized that he did not know what kind of job he could find on earth.
Huh ~
Finally, Thor, who was too tired to think, got up from the sofa, cleaned up, and went out. He needed to familiarize himself with the neighborhood. After all, Thor would probably be living here for a long time to come.
Card ~
Right after Thor leaves the apartment, the team of s.h.i.+ELD agents who monitor Thor in the apartment across from his apartment gets tangled up.
Thor and Lin Rui’s phone conversation was monitored by them. Lin Rui deliberately diverged from the topic and they didn’t pay any special attention to it. They just thought that Lin Rui went to Tony for an experiment without contacting Thor. This is also quite normal for people like Lin Rui, after all, Tony’s level of confidentiality is not low.
“Boss, Thor is looking for a job in New York, are we going to help?” One of the young agents in charge of monitoring Thor asks the Captain at his side as he strolls out the door so easily.
Although the s.h.i.+ELD agents knew a lot about Jackson, they didn’t feel good to have an alien visitor who was always seeking the help of a young man.
“This … wait for me to ask our bosses first.” The Captain also felt that this question was a bit difficult to answer, so he was ready to ask this question to his own boss.
After that, this Captain started to contact his superior, Agent Coulson. A few minutes later, the Captain hung up the phone strangely and it seems that he didn’t completly understand the orders given to him.
“Captain, what’s going on? Are we going to help Thor find a job?” The young agent asked aggressively.
“No, let him figure it out. Also, we are ordered to reduce our monitoring of Thor in the future. It seems that they feel that this alien guest is not so important for the time being.” Hearing the voice of his men, the Captain answered.
“Relax surveillance of Thor. Isn’t he an 0-8-4 for s.h.i.+ELD? He belongs to the first-cla.s.s security breach. Are we just going to relax our surveillance?!” When the Agent heard his Captain’s orders, he couldn’t believe it for some time.
Speaking of which, It was also the young agent’s first exposure to s.h.i.+ELD’s internal level of events. Although it was only a monitoring mission of a seemingly ordinary human being, Thor is indeed an alien visitor, and his importance to s.h.i.+ELD and Earth is self-evident. Therefore, the young agent has been working very hard since the day he received this mission. However, he did not expect to get the order to relax the surveillance of Thor from the top, which indicates that he is likely to call out a first-level incident, which he does not understand.
“Well, Yeah. The psychological and behavioral departments above have a.n.a.lyzed it and they have declared that Thor is actually not a threat to Earth for the time being. Although he is still 0-8-4 and the First Contact Event but compared to other first-level events, the level of danger he posses to Earth is not even comparable to an ordinary incident.” Knowing that his subordinates did not understand the situation, the Captain explained patiently.
“So, the Bosses above have finally decided to relax the monitoring of Thor and it’s not like we are completly removing ourselves, as long as we can confirm his situation from time to time then it would be good. Moreover, he is also in contact with Jackson Lin and because of Jackson’s relation with Mr. Stark, he knows a lot about us and the general situations. Therefore, the decision to reduce monitoring was made.”
“Really? … But I don’t think we should just relax our grip on an Alien like this, and he is not in the scope of those in the 51st area.” Hearing the Captain’s explanation, the young agent went on.
“Thor, of course, does not belong to District 51. We are only reducing the monitoring of him. He still belongs to our jurisdiction. Moreover, during the battle with Hydra, s.h.i.+ELD lost a lot of internal agents. The battle against Hydra is not going to stop anytime soon. Yesterday, we found a large Hydra base. If it weren’t for Mr. Stark’s Iron Man army, we would have suffered another huge loss this time.”
“So, it’s up to us to deal with the current number one enemy, Hydra. This is also a Level-1 event. Didn’t you always want to be on a front-line mission?” Looking at the young agent in front of him, the captain said quietly.
“Tuning us to deal with Hydra? Great! I always wanted to go to the Front Lines!” After hearing the Captain’s words, the young agent became excited again.
“Well, that’s it. So let’s clean up and leave today. As for here, we will send other lower-level teams to take over.” Seeing that there wasn’t any problem, the Captain ordered to others around him.
“Yes!”
The young agent was satisfied, but the Captain and the other experienced old agents in the team did not have his excitement. Monitoring Thor was a very simple and safe thing. Although it was a bit boring, they can be completely patient with their professional qualities.
But now, they are being transferred to join the fighting team against Hydra. That was a team that has a lot of casualties all the time. Although they would not be afraid but no one would want to do a dangerous mission if they could so a relaxed job.
However, these are their orders and they will accept it and fulfill it with the best of their abilities. Moreover, Hydra is the enemy for all of them and it is not something that can be evaded.
So, the secret service team, who had been following Thor since he came to the earth, withdrew in the first week after Thor arrived in New York. Of course, Thor doesn’t even know anything, but it will be more convenient for Lin Rui and Thor to get along with each other in the future.
<hr><hr>
Over here, Lin Rui, who hung up the phone, looked around at his two friends with curious eyes. “Well, that’s Thor. You can get to know each other next time. You’ll like him as a friend.”
“Jackson, there seems to be something strange about your friend.” “Asked Peter, looking at Lin Rui with a strange look in his eyes.
“What’s the matter?” Lin Rui asks, puzzled.
“Did he say on the phone that you were his only friend on Earth? Is he an Alien?” It turned out that Peter had just heard what Thor and Lin Rui had said, and he had discovered this somewhat abnormal sentence.
“Oh, this. He is certainly a bit of an eccentric, but let’s make a formal introduction next time we meet. For now, I will keep some mystery.” Lin Rui smiled at Peter’s words.
Lin Rui didn’t plan to hide the fact that Thor is an alien from Peter and Harry, after all, they now know each other’s hidden ident.i.ties. But there’s something fun about keeping others in suspense and it would create a more powerful impact when he introduces Thor to them, of course, whether they believe him or not is not known as Thor doesn’t look much like an alien.
“Well, then, I’m looking forward to our next meeting.” There was no definite answer, and Peter let it go.
“Let’s go home. You won’t have to worry about the school with your grades, but our increasing absence will not leave a favorable impression.” Harry is not as interested in Thor as Peter, and he has already contacted his driver to pick them up.
“Yeah, I need to hurry back. I was also absent during this time, and although I had Jackson covering for me, maybe the school would call my Aunt.” At Harry’s words, Peter nodded. Ever since Peter became Spiderman, he’s been spending most of his time as Spiderman, and he’s been absent from a lot of activities at school, which may have been noticed.
Huh ~
Peter had just finished speaking and a luxury car had been driven on the road ahead.
“The car is here, let’s go.” Seeing that his driver had arrived, Harry headed for the car. Naturally, Lin Rui and Peter followed.
In this way, Lin Rui returned to normal life after experiencing an inexplicable Hydra attack and abduction. Of course, as to whether he will really return to normal life in the future, Lin Rui himself feels it is unlikely.
Hydra took Tom away, and his ident.i.ty has been revealed. Now is not the time for Lin Rui to drag on his feud with Hydra, he must resolve this trouble as soon as possible.
Now, Lin Rui no longer regards the elimination of Hydra as a simple mainline quest. Rescuing Tom and preventing Hydra from threatening his family is now the main reason Lin Rui wants to destroy Hydra.
Hydra may not know it, but their accidental action has created them with an enemy. If Lin Rui had gone on his way against Hydra, they might have been able to survive for a long time. But now that Lin Rui is determined to eradicate them in the shortest possible time, Hydra’s life will be hard.
Of course, as for how to eliminate Hydra as soon as possible, in addition to working with Tony, Lin Rui also intends to seek some other help. Lin Rui will make every effort to mobilize all the resources and forces available to him. When necessary, he will also spend some Reward Points to redeem some weapons and equipment against Hydra from the System Shop. Although it would be wasteful to do so, Lin Rui doesn’t care that much right now.
…
After a few hours at school in the afternoon, Lin Rui went home. The parents at home were not surprised that Lin Rui didn’t come home for a day. Anyway, he used to go to Tony’s house during the holidays. Although this was rarely the case during school days, Tony had already told them in advance, so Lin Rui’s parents didn’t think much about it.
In fact, according to Lin Rui’s parents and neighbors. Since Tony Stark admired Lin Rui so much, he could have finished his studies and gone straight to work for Stark Industries. Or to be Tony Stark’s personal a.s.sistant, which is more promising than going to school every day.
