"……"

The atmosphere was awkward for a moment.

Maria Hill just wanted to get up, but the ground rolled again, lifting her like a wave to Su Quan's front.

Looking up, Su Quan struck with his palm.

"Boom—" Maria Hill felt herself floating.

No, it wasn't a feeling; she really floated up, and she even saw 'herself' lying at Su Quan's feet.

"I—I died? People really have souls after they die?"

Maria Hill, in addition to being surprised, her first reaction was: Didn't you say you'd spare my life if I knelt?

Although it was passive, I did kneel, why are you going back on your word?

Maria Hill wasn't afraid of death, but dying so 'miserably', she was unwilling!

"I shouldn't have done anything worthy of your S.H.I.E.L.D. investigation, why investigate me?"

Su Quan raised his hand, the ground quickly rose to form a stone chair, and he sat down slowly, looking at the soul-like floating Maria Hill.

"Jessica Jones!"

Maria Hill knowing Su Quan and investigating Su Quan was all because of Jessica Jones.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. Threat Assessment Report?"

"You know about this too?"

The S.H.I.E.L.D. Threat Assessment Report is S.H.I.E.L.D.'s list of assessments for individuals with special abilities and dangerous items.

Whenever a super-powered individual appears, S.H.I.E.L.D. sends a team to investigate and submit an asset assessment and filing report.

This is followed by a comprehensive threat assessment and psychological assessment.

S.H.I.E.L.D. prioritizes recruiting super-powered individuals into S.H.I.E.L.D. or the 'Avengers' initiative.

For those who fail to enter S.H.I.E.L.D., S.H.I.E.L.D. conducts long-term surveillance.

And for those with high indices and psychological problems, S.H.I.E.L.D. eliminates the threat.

"In our investigation of Jessica Jones, we found that her emotional and psychological state is very unstable. If she continues to keep in touch with Trish Walker, the presence of family will make her social relationships, emotions, and psychological state more stable."

"However, you appeared."

"You took her in, gave her a job, so we investigated you and found—you are very suspicious!"

"Your money is all obtained from selling gold, silver, jewelry, and ornaments without formal procedures and sources. We recovered a portion for investigation and found an incredible situation."

"There was a wedding ring; we found its owner, but the owner of the wedding ring was wearing another identical wedding ring."

"The owner of the wedding ring had never lost the ring, nor had they customized an identical ring!"

Maria Hill probably felt that since she was dead anyway, she wouldn't be able to rest in peace without figuring out Su Quan's identity, so the S.H.I.E.L.D. commander's posture gradually returned.

"Of course, this is not important; what's important is that we conducted an in-depth investigation into you and found that we couldn't find any traces of your past life, not a single trace related to you."

"It's as if you appeared out of thin air and never lived in this world before."

"Can you tell me, who exactly are you?"

Su Quan said calmly: "I am someone you can't afford to provoke."

Maria Hill was unwilling and continued to appeal to reason and emotion.

"S.H.I.E.L.D.'s duty is to protect the people from harm by special events and super-powered individuals. I don't want to provoke you; I just want to know your identity, your purpose in taking in Jessica Jones, and confirm that you won't cause harm."

"You should know better than anyone how much harm super-powered individuals like you can cause to ordinary people!"

"I hope you can understand, this is not a personal grudge, this is my duty."

"No, from the moment you fired that shot, this is a personal grudge!"

"Also, don't talk reason to me when I'm losing my temper; I'm deaf!"

……

PS: Recommending my other works: "Marvel: The King Descends," "My Date with a Vampire: The Strongest Reaper," "Marvel: Door-Door Fruit," "American Comics: The Strongest Villain," "KO Ranking: The Strongest War God," "I Have a Dimensional Street in Marvel," "In American TV Dramas: I Get Stronger by Spending Money!"

Maria Hill didn't know how long a soul would exist after death; she just wanted to figure out Su Quan's identity before disappearing.

Now it seems, this is very difficult!

"Not going to try a little harder?"

Looking at the deflated Maria Hill, Su Quan was somewhat disappointed.

"Will you tell me?" Maria Hill was somewhat expectant.

"No!"

"Then what's the point of me trying?" Maria Hill said angrily.

Su Quan shook his head: "That's not how it works; sometimes if you don't try, you'll never know what despair is."

"……"

"So don't worry about things that can't be solved today, because they might not be solved tomorrow either!"

"……"

You're so mean!

Ruthless, and such a bad personality, it's simply—

Wait, it might not be solved tomorrow either?

Whether it can be solved or not, tomorrow—I still have a tomorrow?!

Maria Hill's intelligence and experience suddenly came online.

She glanced at her 'corpse'; although there was no rise and fall, no heartbeat, there were no external injuries, no bleeding, so—

Since Su Quan knows I am the S.H.I.E.L.D. commander, he must know how much trouble it would be to kill me.

The girl he just saved, the agency will find out through her that my death is related to him.

No matter who he is, no matter what he wants to do, he definitely doesn't want S.H.I.E.L.D. to target him now, so—

Maria "There is only one truth" Hill revealed a confident smile.

"Illusion? Magic? Or some other means? Although I don't know how you did it, you didn't really kill me, right?"

The more she thought about it, the more she felt her guess was correct, so Maria Hill simply floated into her 'body'.

But the result was different from what she thought!

Once, twice, three times—

No matter how she tried, no matter how she made her soul fit her body, the result was that the bridge returned to the bridge, the road returned to the road, and it just couldn't truly merge into one!

Su Quan looked at her like she was an idiot: "No way, no way, you don't really think I wouldn't dare to kill you, right?"

"Do you think Nick Fury would agree if I traded a living Captain America for you?"

"A Super Soldier Serum with a 100% success rate—would Nick Fury agree?"

"An aircraft carrier identical to the one developed by your S.H.I.E.L.D. but not belonging to your S.H.I.E.L.D.—would Nick Fury agree?"

"If one isn't enough, two; if two aren't enough, three. If that doesn't work, Ronan the Accuser's spaceship would also work. Nick Fury has dealt with him before and knows very well how valuable a spaceship is."

"So, dear S.H.I.E.L.D. commander, yes, you are important, but not that important!"

Maria Hill was stunned; a living Captain America, a Super Soldier Serum with a 100% success rate, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s aircraft carrier, even an alien spaceship—

These, you can do all these?!

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Maria Hill didn't believe Su Quan could really offer these conditions, but she had to admit that any one of these items had the value to trade for her alone.

Would Nick Fury trade?

Maria Hill didn't want to test human nature, because human nature is the least able to withstand testing.

Facing such conditions, if she were alive, Nick Fury might not agree, but if she were already dead—even he would be tempted!

"You—you really have some things?" Maria Hill couldn't help but want to verify.

Su Quan directly took out the only remaining dose of Super Soldier Serum in the system, which was originally intended for Dottie Underwood, but now—

"You can try it yourself, provided you help me with a few small favors in the future."

"I agree."

Maria Hill wasn't stupid.

If it fails, at worst, she dies, which is no different from her current situation.

If it succeeds, she could become a Super Soldier, become the new Captain America.

A Super Soldier Serum with a 100% success rate; if he can take out one dose, he can take out more. At the same time, the other things might also really exist!

Just for this, let alone helping with a few small favors, as long as he doesn't go too far, Maria Hill could represent S.H.I.E.L.D. to help him clean up—uh, help him handle the aftermath.
