章 35: Bringing Ningguang home, Nick Fury is in a beautiful mood

"Koko, do you know where your big brother went?"

Natasha asked Koko she recognized as Lynn's younger sister. From the information she had gotten so far, Koko seemed to be a girl who was adopted by Lynn from a certain orphanage one year ago. At least that's what she heard from Lynn and she confirmed it herself by getting the people at SHIELD in charge of that field.

The results were correct and there were no suspicious traces such as false information or anything like that.

"Host... Big brother is playing with the heroine... His girl friend." Koko said while sitting on the sofa and watching anime.

There was also a popsicle in her hand.

By the way not sure whether or not she intentionally exposed her own host to Natasha.

Sure enough, Natasha raised her eyebrows. While sitting beside Koko, she looked at the silver-haired little girl curiously.

'Such a cute little girl. Well but I don't understand why she often slips up calling Lynn a host and what's up with the woman being called a heroine?'

Staring at the anime Koko was watching, Natasha misunderstood. She thought: 'Ah... This little girl must have been influenced by the anime she was watching.'

Natasha didn't realize it, but right now behind her was Mao Chan who was too lazy to walk so she used her wings to move to the balcony. There was a cat flying behind her, she was completely unaware.

When she realized there was a sound behind her, she looked back and only saw the fat cat called Mao Chan sleeping on the balcony floor.

Natasha didn't think it was strange.

Her evaluation of Koko and Mao Chan was a cute little girl and a lazy fat cat. Both somehow had the similarity that they were not interested in the outside world and were only happy to spend time indoors.

So far, the babysitting job was going well, she even enjoyed it as it was more relaxing than when she did other types of missions. It was just that after exploring the entire mansion well, alone. She still couldn't find any clues that could connect Lynn's identity with Ashborn or anything else supernatural.

It seemed like she could only get clues from Lynn herself whose whereabouts were currently unknown to her.

At this moment, she suddenly heard the sound of a car entering the garage. Natasha immediately got up from the sofa and walked over to open the door of the house.

She naturally thought it was Lynn who had just come home. But besides Lynn, there also seemed to be another person whose appearance she had seen on the news recently.

Natasha was surprised, though on the surface she was calm and smiled as she said: "Welcome back~"

She looked at Lynn, then looked the white-haired woman up and down.

"I'm home, Natalie. Introduce, this is Ningguang. She's a friend of mine and will be staying at my house for a while."

At the entrance, Lynn didn't bother to hide Ningguang's identity from Natasha and took the initiative to introduce the two of them to each other.

As an undercover SHIELD agent, Natasha must not have missed the information about Ningguang's appearance that had been seen on the news recently.

But so what? Even if Natasha planned to report this to Nick Fury, he was sure the latter would just tell Natasha to keep watching.

Even if it caused himself to be suspected of being Ashborn, he didn't care and he was sure it would make Natasha take more and more initiative on him.

Lynn did not feel disadvantaged, he would instead gain a lot.

"Hello miss, I'm Ningguang." Ningguang introduced herself politely.

Natasha nodded, also responding politely to the woman in front of her. "I'm Natalie Rushman, you can call me, Natalie."

"Natalie, you can also call me, Ningguang."

After the two beautiful women shook hands and introduced each other. Lynn immediately asked Natasha to prepare an empty bedroom for Ningguang. After that, he took Ningguang around the mansion and introduced her to the many things in the mansion.

"This is the swimming pool. People in this world sometimes like to swim and play with water other than in the bathroom." Lynn said.

"Nice swimming pool." Ningguang commented and added. "Although I've never seen a place made specifically for swimming in Teyvat other than for bathing. I've heard of people like Adventurers or ordinary people sometimes swimming in the river."

"So I'm not entirely unfamiliar with the concept of people who like to swim." Ningguang said.

Lynn pretended to cough and said, "Oh, sorry. I thought you didn't know. Um... Actually rather than introducing you one by one to the things in this world."

"It would be faster for you if you learn how to use the internet and access a lot of information about this world from there."

Lynn continued walking and left the pool area of the mansion. Ningguang followed him from behind and asked curiously.

"Internet? Is it some kind of information repository or something?"

"Hm... Somewhat. It's more like there's a device called a computer or some other sophisticated thing in this world that can let one access a lot of information."

"One can even know what interesting things are happening in the world while they are at home or elsewhere."

"For example..."

Lynn took out his cell phone from his pocket, opened the browser and searched for a particular news video.

"Take this and see. The common name of this thing is Smartphone or more commonly called cell phone, one of the most advanced tools in this world that allows one to access a lot of information on the internet."

Ningguang had seen the small square object in Lynn's hand. Now she finally knew that it was a Smartphone. She took the Smartphone from Lynn's hand and saw a small screen that seemed to display moving images. In addition to the images, there was also text that gave her an explanation of what was displayed on the moving images and there was also a human voice that was heard explaining the moving images that were being displayed.

"The moving image is called a video. It can be recorded using smartphones and cameras." Lynn added for Ningguang to know.

"Video..." Ningguang widened her eyes, and her gaze seemed interested in the video that was being displayed on Lynn's phone screen.

The video looked strangely familiar, she saw Gwen in her Spider Woman costume defeating mutant rats in the city. Then there was a white-haired woman who looked familiar.

"Huh? Isn't that me?"

Ningguang was surprised, while walking Lynn explained. "Yes, it's you who was previously recorded by some people's cameras. And that video is now circulating on the internet."

"Many people in a certain city or country in the world who watch this video on the internet also know what you look like in that video."

"Amazing... Doesn't that mean the internet allows people from far-flung places to receive information faster than using the mail exchange method?"

Ningguang was smart, she immediately had a rough understanding of the "Internet". If this so-called internet existed on Teyvat continent, the matter of communication between countries could definitely be done faster than exchanging information using letters which took several weeks or several months depending on the distance of the recipient and sender of the letter.

And it seemed that apart from that, there were still many other things that people could do on the internet. Ningguang felt excited, she felt that she wanted to quickly learn how to use the internet and find out more about this world.

"Um, you're right. That's also one of the functions of the internet. Well... There are many other things you can do with the internet."

"I'll teach you slowly." Lynn said with a smile. The two finally arrived at a room that had several computers.

All of the computers were of course unusual as they had been enhanced by Herrscher of Reason's abilities. But that was not the point, the point was that it still had the functions of a normal computer. It was just that the specifications were so high that there was no need to worry about experiencing lag problems or anything like that.

When Lynn taught Ningguang how to use the computer.

On the other side of the mansion, in the empty bedroom that was being prepared for Ningguang.

Natasha made sure no one was around and called Nick from her cell phone.

"Natasha, what happened?" Nick asked on the other side of the phone.

Natasha immediately said, "Nick, I'm sure you already know about the white-haired woman who defeated the mutant rats with Spider Woman in Queens a few hours ago."

"Yes, of course. Does this have anything to do with that woman? SHIELD is also investigating her identity, but we haven't gotten any results yet."

"Natasha, do you have any leads on that woman?"

Natasha nodded mentally and said, "Yes, that woman came to Lynn's house as a friend. And introduced herself as Ningguang."

"What? So that woman with super abilities also turned out to have a relationship with Lynn Allen?"

Nick Fury on the other side of the phone sounded surprised, but he soon asked again. "Natasha, what is that woman named Ningguang doing with Lynn Allen right now?"

Hearing this, Natasha operated her cell phone without hanging up and now she saw several screens showing every room in the mansion.

Having explored the mansion without Lynn's presence before, she naturally did not forget to install hidden cameras in every corner of the mansion. Although it was illegal, but she had to do it for the sake of the mission.

Currently, on one of the screens, he saw Lynn and Ningguang in the room that housed several computers. And it seemed like the two were very close. Ningguang was sitting in front of one of the computers, while Lynn seemed to be standing next to her while um... holding Ningguang's hand like someone was teaching her how to use a computer.

Although this scene wasn't too suspicious, somehow Natasha frowned.

"Natasha? Hello? What are you doing?" Nick Fury on the other side of the phone could no longer stand the silence.

He didn't know why Natasha was silent for so long. Usually she was quick to respond in these situations.

"I was checking the screenshots from some hidden cameras I installed...and I saw that Lynn seemed to be teaching Ningguang how to use a computer in one of the rooms in the mansion." Natasha said flatly.

Nick Fury was silent for a moment before saying: "Are you sure Lynn Allen was teaching Ningguang how to use a computer? I mean is the woman named Ningguang some kind of old-fashioned woman who is out of date?"

"...I'm not sure Nick, I sent you the video. You can see for yourself."

"Alright... For now, just keep watching them and don't let your cover be blown." Nick Fury said solemnly to Natasha.

Natasha rolled her eyes and replied briefly. "Okay."

Then she took the initiative to hang up first.

At SHIELD Headquarters.

Nick Fury stared at his cell phone screen that showed the phone call ended with a strange look.

"What's wrong with Natasha? Is it just me or is she suddenly in a bad mood?"

Shaking his head, he decided to check the video Natasha had just sent him.

In the video he did see Lynn Allen who seemed to be teaching the white-haired woman named Ningguang the computer.

Although the voice was a bit unclear because it seemed like Natasha had installed the listening device a bit far away from the two. But from the movement of their lips, Nick Fury could tell from their dialog that Lynn Allen was really teaching Ningguang how to use a computer.

This was where he was confused, not at Lynn's actions, but at the woman named Ningguang who seemed to have absolutely no knowledge of how to use a computer.

Or rather she didn't seem to know much about the world.

Nick Fury had also watched the video footage before the mutant rats in Queens started making trouble. Some of the CCTVs there showed Ningguang coming out of a small street and looking at the buildings around her with surprise as if she was seeing them for the first time.

Even as she walked, she looked around curiously before she finally engaged in a battle against the mutant rats alongside Spider Woman.

Spider Woman's identity as a new superhero is also actually being investigated by SHIELD, but nothing has come of it yet, which makes Nick Fury a little upset.

But putting Spider Woman aside, currently the people who are prioritized to be investigated by SHIELD are Ashborn and now there is a woman named Ningguang.

The identities of both are a priority for SHIELD to investigate now.

While Nick Fury was contemplating while flipping through the CCTV footage on his computer. Suddenly Agent Maria Hill walked into his office, from the look on her face. Nick Fury knew she seemed to have something that excited her.

"What's up Hill? From the look on your face, is that good news?"

Hill came to report to her boss with a bigger smile than usual.

Looking at her boss who was looking at her curiously, she immediately said: "Yes, boss! This... We just received a report from the people we sent to the north pole."

"Precisely in the Arctic Ocean, those men found the wreckage of an airplane buried in the ice. After they pulled the plane out of the ice."

"Upon inspection, inside the plane they found Captain America's body! And it was found that Captain America didn't seem to be dead, he was just frozen and in a sleep-like state."

"!!!" Nick Fury who heard this immediately got up from his seat.

His face was a mixture of shock and pleasure as if he had just found his long-lost mother.

He immediately ordered Hill by saying, "Hill, get those guys to bring Stave Roger's frozen body to SHIELD! I'm sure those scientists can do something to actually wake him up."
