"You really are the second best detective in the world." Pamela said sarcastically.
"The best detective will only give you such a conclusion, or worse than me. We are not theologians." Tim countered equally angrily: "You can't expect that you will get everything just by praying. God doesn't
I can’t do it, I need evidence.”
"Isn't such a long conversation enough evidence?"
"There is too little valid information, they seem to be chatting." Tim sighed.
Pamela thought for a moment, and then said: "I feel that this doctor has a much better temper than the professor. Do you think there is a possibility that we can ask him directly?"
"Then he won't tell the truth, at least not the whole truth. He will shut up if he thinks he can fool us."
"But that would at least get a little more information."
"If you want to go, go ahead." Tim shook his head and refused.
Pamela suddenly laughed and slid down from the bed to the floor. She stretched out her arms to hug Tim and said close to his ear: "Why do I always feel that you are a little afraid of this doctor? You are not even afraid of the professor."
.”
"Why should I be afraid of the professor?" The black-haired boy was not moved by this seemingly intimate gesture at all. He just rolled his eyes up out of habit and looked at Pamela and asked.
"Of course it's because he's scary. He's always fierce and inhumane."
"Yeah, but I've finished my homework."
Pamela was speechless. She thought for a moment. Tim was obviously not old enough to have any very professional psychological knowledge. At his age, as long as he finished his homework, he would poke a hole in the sky.
It seems to be reasonable and well-founded.
Pamela let go of her hand angrily and pushed him. She turned her eyes aside, thought for a moment and said, "You mean you can't find something to stabilize this Schiller?"
"You're not too stupid." Tim glanced at Pamela again and said: "According to my observation, the professor always tends to have to do things when things come to a close, while this doctor is more accustomed to letting everyone have to do things when things come to a close.
.”
"You mean he's more proactive?"
"If you didn't sound so disgusting when you said that word, I would compliment your reasoning."
Pamela rolled her eyes and said, "I'm waiting for you to find the person who makes you sick."
"To get down to business, I feel like I'm facing an engine. What's more terrifying than not being able to find the fuel tank is that I can't find the switch to turn it off."
"Seriously, what does this have to do with you?" Pamela changed her position, sat opposite Tim and said: "We are just here for vacation, we can just sit in the living room and watch the fun."
"You are too naive. Do you think that we will not be included in the trouble? We got two sets of Mercury equipment because he was kind-hearted?"
"Are you really not worrying in vain?"
"Even if I am, don't you think we should try to take the initiative? Do you remember how Bruce failed?"
"You and him are so different." Pamela sighed.
"I just thought you were complimenting me."
"He was indeed not proactive enough at the time and was led by the professor. But don't you think you were a little too proactive? I assume you know the seriousness of treating Schiller as an imaginary enemy."
"This is not just an illusion." Tim no longer sat cross-legged, but half-knelt on the ground and said, "If a person hides something from me before I hide it from him, I will take it as a provocation."
"You are really crazy." Pamela said a little collapsed: "What is the difference between you and that kind of crazy control freak?"
"The difference is that I am smarter than them." Tim said: "Control freaks control indiscriminately, but I find the reasons first so that I can stand on the moral high ground."
"What reason?"
"He hid it from me first."
Pamela was speechless. After being silent for a long time, she could only say: "Even if it's just a peer from another universe who is a teacher you are familiar with? This relationship is almost further than that between you and your aunt."
"To any relationship."
"You are really sick."
"But there are many obvious benefits." Tim said: "In the end you will definitely find that I am right. This is called sensitivity to information."
"Okay, besides that, what else can you deduce?"
"We can't determine his ultimate goal, but we can think about what role some of the things he has to do in many circles will play in the overall plan?"
"for example?"
"Why did you move here?" Tim pointedly pointed out, "There are better ways to avoid fans or deal with landlords, so why bring us here?"
"This is a suitable place for killing people and dumping their bodies. I hope the target is not us."
"The target is definitely not us." Tim said: "If he wants to kill us, he should do it in Los Angeles, so that he can have a sufficient alibi. There are no witnesses in this wilderness."
"Then just tell me your inference." Pamela seemed to be tired of all this. She pushed her hair back and wanted to take out a cigarette, but found that the cigarette was gone, so she had to hope for a non-physical performance.
"He is hiding from some people." Tim said: "Some people know that he is here and involved, and that he has the ability to turn Los Angeles and its surroundings upside down. The U.S.-Mexico border is relatively safe."
"Uh-huh." Pamela agreed with one syllable.
"But the other party may not know his true identity. What I mean is that they are looking for the person behind something, but they don't know yet that the person behind it is Schiller. He is hiding under a certain code name."
"You mean Hydra?"
"That's about it. He must have done something as Hydra. A group of people are chasing him to prevent him from doing it again."
Tim smiled and finally told his real guess, "This is a brilliant strategy. He has an identity that everyone knows and an identity that no one knows."
"While the unknown identity is being traced, the well-known identity is also being pursued by fans."
"What's the point?"
"The meaning is that even if some smart people guess that these two identities are the same person, the person who traces his unknown identity cannot appear around this well-known identity, because these people cannot be exposed to the public eye, which
Would an agent want to be photographed and post it on Tiktok to get 100,000 likes?”
Pamela choked herself. She couldn't imagine such a funny scene. Of course, if it was a beautiful agent, she would also like it.
"That's why he doesn't mind those fans chasing him." Pamela figured everything out, and she said: "Actually, there are two groups of people chasing him, but the more harmful ones know that they are engaged in secret work, and they have to
If you hide from others, it will be almost impossible to chase them."
"Exactly."
"Then why did he move to such a remote place? Did he want the agents to chase him?"
"On the contrary, this place is his territory. When the agents find that they have finally escaped the surveillance of fans, they feel they have an opportunity and will naturally pursue him, but they can't catch him here."
"Will he kill them?"
"No, he just dragged them here." Tim sighed softly and said, "Then the decisive force I mentioned before can be used in Los Angeles."
"Could it be Hydra?"
"I don't know either, but no matter who it is, they are not doing anything good." Tim rolled his eyes and thought for a moment and said: "From what I know about FBI agents, when they know the source of something, they hide it."
Somewhere, then even if they knew it might be a trap, they would still come."
"Why?"
"They just need to show that they are working. They filled in a lot of people and made huge sacrifices, which proves that they are not lazy. As for the more sensible option of standing still, it will not bring them more funds."
Pamela wanted to say something, but when it came to funding, she suddenly remembered what Natasha told her. The most important thing to Nick was funding.
Her thoughtful look couldn't be hidden from Tim. Tim leaned forward, looked at her and asked, "Do you know anything else?"
Pamela thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "The director of SHIELD sent me here. In addition to asking me to help Schiller, he also has his own purpose."
"What is it?"
"The congressman who is said to be assassinated seems to have been causing trouble for Nick. He denied S.H.I.E.L.D.'s 37 funding approval projects this quarter. Nick called him a two-faced person."
"Funding..." Tim seemed to have an idea. He said: "The defense funding that Congress can provide every year is a fixed quota. If one person gets more, the other will get less, so this two-faced person vetoes Nick, which is equivalent to helping.
Others take more."
"FBI?"
"I'm afraid so. Think about what Schiller said before. Without Hydra, there would be no S.H.I.E.L.D. If you follow the idea of respecting the enemy's self-respect, if you want to regain the funds embezzled by the FBI, you will naturally have to initiate some federal investigations.
It’s something that the bureau can’t solve.”
"I understand." Pamela suddenly realized, she said: "When we arrived in Los Angeles, we used the fans to chase and supervise the agents so that the agents would not dare to get too close, so that we could arrive here smoothly and give the agents a chance to surround us.
"
"While Los Angeles' defense power is empty, if Hydra is allowed to cause trouble in Los Angeles, the FBI will definitely take advantage of it. If it cannot solve the problem, it will have to ask SHIELD to come out, so that next quarter SHIELD can
To fill the gaps in the FBI's defense capabilities, eat up their funds."
Pamela paused and then asked: "Assassination?"
"Obviously the FBI and the congressman jointly came up with a reason to increase funding." Tim said: "They often do this to give those big shots a sense of crisis. In order to protect themselves at all times, they will be very generous."
"It turned out to be self-directed and self-acted, but for SHIELD, the way to counteract it is to make the lie real. In this way, the cooperation between the congressmen and the FBI will inevitably break down."
"That's why you show up here." Tim looked at Pamela and said, "You can help Nick muddy the waters at the banquet and make the congressmen who actually attend the banquet think that their safety is threatened, but you don't actually kill them.
He, but left him alive to find trouble with the FBI."
"At that time, because of the chaos in Los Angeles, Congress will definitely hold the FBI accountable. Because their lives are threatened, members of the Congress will turn against them. The FBI will be attacked from both sides, so it will naturally not be easy."
"If Schiller and Nick are colluding, then I can understand why they both contacted me. After all, hitting people's vegetables is the only way to disrupt the banquet, and it can also pin the blame for the lab leak on the FBI."
"But you..." Pamela looked at Tim and said, "What role did you play in this?"
"He said he wanted me to help him deal with the business issues of purchasing the farm, but before that he asked me a question, which was how to legally reduce the land price of the farm, and I gave him some suggestions."
"What advice?"
"Gotham-esque."
"You are too vicious."
Tim's heart gradually sank, and he said, "I feel like I'm taking on some responsibilities that don't belong to me, but I don't know what they are."
Pamela was also silent, and after a while she said: "Don't you think? It's completely different from our universe. These things make me feel like a driftwood floating in the waves, being pushed all the way to an unknown direction.
.”
"Even if you're a superpower?"
"I am a superpower, not God, what can I do?"
Tim's face clearly showed an expression of reluctance, which made him look particularly dangerous. Pamela took a gentle breath, but she still couldn't stop Tim from speaking out his crazy thoughts.
"You can't do nothing."
"What do you want to do?"
"Schiller doesn't have superpowers right now, but you do."
"You're crazy, Tim!"
Being able to see through a ball of yarn is also an improvement
