Get Out of the Way, I'm Going to Cheat
Chapter 9
I'm not blind. It's fine if the man in the suit came up with this excuse to fool ordinary people. After all, I've been around world-class superheroes for a long time, so I can see through his persona.

If the man in the suit is really a real estate agent, I'll shave my hair and become as bald as Professor X!
"If you're sent by the Ministry of Magic, then take him away!" I pointed at the wizard holding a paper bag next to me and sold him out.
"If you're from the CIA, then please go to the Double couplet headquarters or contact S.H.E.L.D.."
"I'm here to find you."
The man in the suit was as still as a mountain. He took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to me. "I'll leave immediately after you sign this lease." The man was almost 1.9 meters tall, and standing in front of me was like a shadow that I couldn't get rid of.
I saw Mr. Graves' right hand quietly reach for the magic wand at his waist. I secretly signaled him not to act rashly.
The man in the suit looked serious and didn't seem to have any ulterior motives. I hesitated awkwardly. In order to protect my hair, I didn't give up and said, "I want to see your ID."
The moment I lifted his shirt, I caught a glimpse of the holster hidden under his clothes. I didn't dare to move again after a glance.
The holster contained a 9mm P226R with a capacity of 15 bullets. It was favored by major special forces. It seems the man in front of me wasn't simple.
I didn't have time to look at the ID he took out and asked him with a smile, "Where do you want to sign?"
The episode passed just like that. In the end, I didn't know why the man in the suit came to find me.

When Team America and Little Spider came back for dinner in the evening, I noticed a bruise at the corner of Peter's eye.
After dinner, I went to the fridge to take some ice cubes and put them in a handkerchief. I stood next to him and rubbed it.
He sat on the sofa and raised his head. He grimaced in pain but smiled happily. "Thank you, Mr. Secretary!
I told you you were very good to me, but they didn't believe me! "
"Who doesn't believe you?"
Mr. Graves interrupted. He pointed at me and said to Little Spider, "He treats you really well. I'm so jealous."
I used a little more strength, which made the Little Spider squeal and ask me to be gentler.
"Aunt May will be worried if you get hurt. Please take good care of yourself and don't let her worry anymore!"
Although I wasn't familiar with Aunt May, if I put myself in her shoes, if I had a nephew who just reached adulthood running around all day, I would also worry all day long if he made bad friends, not to mention suddenly seeing him come back with bruises on his body.
Mr. Stevie finished washing the dishes and came out of the kitchen. He continued my words, "This guy was always distracted today. Tony said he won't let him go on a mission next time." It seemed like he had already taken over the task of washing dishes, but I didn't dare to peek anymore.
"Mr. Secretary, I'm so pitiful. Other people get yellow and red cards when they play football, but I was directly suspended. They didn't even tell me how many games I was suspended for."
The little spider wrapped his arms around my waist and acted like a spoiled child in my arms. I could only hug his head to comfort him.
Mr. Stevie's temples throbbed when he saw this. He frowned and said, "Brat, if you want to act spoiled, go home and find your Aunt May. Don't mess around here!"
Little Spider not only didn't listen to him, he hugged me even tighter.
I suddenly felt suffocated. It was like life was choking me and fate was choking me. I quickly pushed him and asked, "Then why were you distracted today?
What were you thinking about? "
When he heard my question, he suddenly poked his little head out of my arms. He stared at me for a few seconds without blinking. He then glanced at Team America and slowly spoke.
"I saw Professor X when he was young today. He really looked like Mr. Secretary!"
The little spider had an aggrieved look on her face as she blinked her eyes a few times. She looked as if she was about to cry as she complained to me, "I just took a few more glances. Who would have thought that the bastard would throw a big stone at me!
Mr. Stark also scolded me and said he won't take me on a mission next time! "
'Ugh … Are karma so quick these days?'
In the afternoon, I said that if the real estate agent didn't have other motives, I would shave my head.
Why did Little Spider say I looked like Professor X tonight?
I didn't want to listen to Little Spider's endless chatter for an hour. I wisely turned to Team America and asked him, "What happened?"
After listening to Mr. Stevie's concise explanation, I had some understanding of their experience today.
It turned out that the trouble they had to deal with was a mutant who could control time. This matter should have been handled by X-men, but the mutant had too many helpers, and most of them were on S.H.E.L.D.'s index control list, so they called the Double couplet members to help out.
In the chaos, the mutant cast a time reversal on Professor X, allowing him to return to his youthful appearance and ability in a short period of time.
"This kind of rejuvenation technique is too precious!
You didn't kill him, right? "
No wonder he had so many helpers. They say time is a butcher's knife. Who wouldn't want to have their youthful appearance and hairline again?
If you don't believe me, you can ask Harry and Brother Tuo.
"He wanted to rewind time on Earth by 10,000 years. We had to stop him."
Every time we talked about the mission, Team America's expression would be particularly serious, "But you don't have to worry, he didn't die. In the end, S.H.E.L.D. sent him to the freezer."
I nodded and didn't say anything. These things weren't my responsibility, and I couldn't do anything about it.
Mr. Graves, who had been concentrating on fiddling with his magic wand, suddenly asked, "Little Star, is Professor X your relative?"
I shook my head and said, "I don't know him."
I heard that Professor X had a big family business. It couldn't be that his relative was so poor that he had to abandon his own child, right?
I thought it was unlikely, and it had to be a coincidence that they looked alike.
Team America saw my lonely face and asked, "You've never talked about your family. Is there anyone else in your family?"
I tried to force a smile and nodded, "My adoptive parents are here, and I have a younger brother and sister."
As soon as Team America heard that I was adopted, they immediately apologized and didn't ask any more questions.
Little Spider was excited, "Big Brother Secretary!
I was fostered in Aunt May and Uncle Ben's house since I was young. This way, we have one more thing in common. That's great! "
"…" Child, you can't go on like this.
Mr. Wizard rubbed his throbbing temples, stood up and said to me, "Little Star, send me up, I'm a little tired."
In the elevator waiting area, Mr. Graves suddenly said seriously, "I know you're angry with me, thinking that I was the one who put you to sleep on the sofa last night, but please believe me, you really walked over on your own.
You even told me that you were cold, so I thought you were awake.
If you really don't remember, then maybe … it's just a guess. Could it be that you have night walking? "
I was a little conflicted. Looking at his serious face, it didn't seem like he was looking for an excuse to lie to me, but … night walking?
I've lived for more than 20 years, how could I never know that I have this disease?
I walked him all the way to the twenty-fourth floor in silence. Before entering the door, he hesitated for a long time before asking me, "Umm … I haven't touched you for a whole day, and now I feel very weak … as if I will faint at any time. Can you let me hug you?
Otherwise, I'll be alone at night … and no one will know if I really faint. "
Then the next morning's news would criticize me for leaving a 130 year old man alone at home.
"…" Why is it that other than a hundred year old man, there are only children who have just reached adulthood next to me?
Is it because I didn't respect the old and love the young in my previous life, so I'm being punished in this life?
I pushed him into the room, closed the door, lowered my head and answered softly, "Hug me."

I woke up in the middle of the night, sleepily got up and went to the bathroom. Then I habitually turned right and went into my room to continue sleeping.
But I didn't realize that after moving into my new home, my room was on the left, and Team America's room was on the right.
So naturally, Comrade Steve, who was very alert, was woken up by me.
He watched as I walked into his room and onto his bed.
I lifted his quilt and lay down beside him.
I felt a warm stove beside me, so I desperately wanted to get closer. I said 'it's so cold' while leaning into his arms.
He seemed to be at a loss for what to do when I suddenly threw myself into his arms, and he froze for a long time before relaxing.
He put one hand around my shoulder, and the other hand stroked the back of my head, and comforted me like he was coaxing a child, "It won't be cold when I hug you, go to sleep."
The next morning, I woke up alone in Team America's bed, and gradually began to believe Mr. Wizard's words. Then I heard Mr. Stevie talk about what happened last night at the dinner table. I was so surprised that I almost dropped the cup in my hand.
That's so cliché!
I actually used the phrase 'it's so cold' twice subconsciously. Is it a safety word that's deeply imprinted in my mind?
Mr. Stevie saw my panicked expression and chuckled, then said, "I went to find Mr. Graves for breakfast, but he wasn't there. I don't know where he went."
I didn't mind and nodded. I was still thinking about when I should go to the hospital to see how to treat night wandering.
"He's not a hundred-year-old child anymore, we don't need to worry about him."

In the evening, the sun gradually set, and the horizon was split open by the orange-red light that was reluctant to leave. It was as if the magma of a volcano had found an exit, and it instantly spread to the thousands of floating clouds, reflecting a crimson red on the ground.
Two parties were being held in the open field of the riverside park on New York's Boston Road.
One was an engagement ceremony, and the other was a Double couplet's welcoming party.
That's right. It was the party that Loki wanted me to host for his brother. Although we booked it a little late, fortunately, there weren't many guests invited to the engagement ceremony. We could still play together on the grass if we squeezed together.
The HR manager of the Double couplet found me in the vast sea of people and dragged me to Brother Hammer.
That was the first time I had close contact with Thor, Thor Odinson. He didn't care about trifles, but he wasn't rude either. After he heard that I was his secretary, he smiled and nodded to greet me.
"He came up with the idea for today's party, Mr. Thor." The HR manager took credit for me in front of Brother Hammer.
I quickly waved my hand to deny it, "No, no, I really didn't do anything."
"Don't be so humble, you did a good job. But how did you know that I like to eat hamburgers from that fast food restaurant?"
"It was you …" My brother told me.
But before the second half of the sentence left my mouth, the engagement ceremony next door reached its climax, and the people on our side also surrounded them to congratulate them.
"Jane?"
When Brother Hammer went over, he realized that the female lead in the next room was actually his ex-girlfriend, Jane Foster, who had died without a cause.
Foster.
Looking at Brother Hammer's awkward and sullen face, my mind suddenly exploded with a buzzing sound.
No wonder Loki wanted me to hold the party here!
He's trying to kill me!
Double couplet was fully prepared for a sudden attack, but I didn't expect Loki to be planning this.
Brother Hammer couldn't hide his embarrassment as he congratulated his ex-girlfriend, then he turned around to look for me.
"Who told you to hold the party here?"
Brother Hammer pulled me to the makeshift kitchen on the grass. He pinched my shoulder with one hand and pressed me against a fake partition, and asked: "Are you deliberately embarrassing me?"
The kitchen floor seemed to have just been cleaned, it was wet and uncomfortable. There were temporary power sources and wires everywhere on the roof. I didn't know why, but I suddenly had a bad feeling.
My shoulder hurt from his grip, and I was now like a sandwich, sandwiched between him and the partition.
I didn't dare to use force, for fear that I would collapse the seemingly thin partition and implicate the whole frame.
I couldn't avoid it, so I quickly shook my head and denied: "No, I already said, I really didn't do anything, this location is Luo …"
Just as I was about to say the name of the mastermind, my dear temporary boss Mr. Stevie shouted from a distance: "Thor!"
Looking at Team America's eyes, he really wanted to save me.
But he didn't expect that what happened next would make him regret it for the rest of his life.
Brother Hammer let go of his grip on me, patted my weak chest twice, then turned around and walked towards Team America.
Because he was too tall, he bumped into the suspended power source on the roof. He inadvertently blocked it with his hand, but it triggered a domino effect and coincidentally pulled down the wires under my feet.
Several plugs that were energized instantly moved away from their original positions. As I fell backward and hit the fake partition, I saw the entire makeshift kitchen collapsing at the speed of my fall.
Am I going to be electrocuted or smashed to death?
Anyway, I couldn't avoid it. I closed my eyes and thought in my heart, if only Superman was here.
