Chapter 1363 Troy (first update)

"Is this identification code real?"

Faced with Daisy Johnson's question, Melinda May nodded. "Agent Maria Hill, Nick Fury's deputy. She helped us even though she had to go to Congress every Friday for hearings, and then she disappeared for a while, most likely... Nick Fury took her away. I can't figure out why she's here right now."

"I thought you'd be surprised that she knew where we were."

Melinda May glanced. "Don't be so naive, Level 1 Agent. We are using SHIELD's secret base now. Maria Hill is one of Nick Fury's most trusted people. If anyone in this world can know most of the gods, SHIELD secrets, she’s one of them.”

"I didn't expect you to joke." Daisy Johnson laughed, "But why did she come to us?"

"I don't know." Melinda May answered truthfully. "It may be because you have appeared frequently on TV recently, or it may be because of the new S.H.I.E.L.D. established by Jeffrey Mace. There are too many possibilities and it is difficult to judge. , the best way is to ask her." After saying that, Melinda May brought up the console and turned on the base's outermost camouflage. A downward concrete passage slowly appeared in front of the red Ford, extending all the way to what looked like an underground garage. Maria Hill slowly drove her car along the concrete road into this unrelated underground garage. After driving forward for about fifty meters, she turned off the car lights as prompted. Then she felt the car body shake, the pallet under the red Ford began to drop, and rows of white cold light lights around the shaft gradually rose.

Maria Hill waited calmly for the lift to stop.

When Victoria Hand asked her if she knew about [Lighthouse Base], she lied.

The former seemed to know that she was talking, but still sent her over. Maria Hill knew this, so she ditched the black Dodge Hellcat Victoria Hand had bought for her and instead bought the Ford on the second-hand market under a false identity. In the period before the used car dealer reported the information to authorities, the car she was driving was not only completely legal but also untraceable, and the black Dodge Hellcat was parked in front of an old apartment building inhabited only by drug addicts. That group of drug addicts can sell anything they can. Those people will drive away the car and sell it for contraband. Even if the police intend to track her, they can only see the car in a certain car repair shop. .

The lift's explosion-proof doors opened, revealing a bright concrete passage.

Maria Hill saw Melinda May standing under the aisle lights with her arms folded, her expression serious, while Daisy Johnson, the famous SHIELD rookie, stood aside with excitement on her face. Maria Hill turned off the engine and got out of the car, walked through the automatic security checkpoints and stood in front of Melinda May. She only used her peripheral vision to look at the newcomer who was still interested in a career as an agent, but nothing else. Give any indication. "Agent Coulson is causing trouble." Without any greetings or greetings, Maria Hill explained the reason for her visit to Melinda May. "This trouble is so big that dangerous people have already targeted him. . What’s worse is that this threat is not false but real.”

"Congress?"

"I no longer have to obey the laws of the United States."

Melinda May nodded, understanding Maria Hill's subtext. Either Agent Hill has already connected with Nick Fury, or Nick Fury has given her a new mission. In any case, the mission she now undertakes far exceeds the benefits of complying with U.S. law. "I will take you to see Agent Coulson. However, Agent Coulson is the Director now. In a few days, he plans to step down and let Jeffrey Mace take over as Director."

Daisy Johnson on the side was still shocked by the news, and Melinda May was also secretly observing Maria Hill's expression. As she expected, Agent Hill showed no expression at all. In this hundred-meter-long circular underground passage, Maria Hill reacted indifferently to everything Melinda May mentioned. It seemed that she The reason for the trip was really because Agent Coulson got into trouble that he was completely unaware of.

Daisy Johnson initially wanted to introduce the facilities here to Maria Hill, but neither Melinda May nor Maria Hill were interested in this. They both seemed to think that the latter would not be here. Stay too long. Sure enough, upon arriving in the control room, Maria Hill was not even interested in saying hello to anyone else. She went straight to the soundproof office to hold a meeting and selectively inform Melinda May of the information she knew - it was impossible for her Telling Melinda Melnick Fury and she had been working for the Emperor for a while would only complicate matters, increase Coulson's agent team's doubts about the authenticity of the intelligence, and thus delay time - she could only Tell Melinda May about the dangers of the "Dark Book" and the relationship between the "Dark Book" and the second Ghost Rider Robbie Reyes, and after Agent Coulson obtained the "Dark Book" possible impact.

But before she could speak, an agent she didn't recognize knocked on the office door.

The agent glanced at her and didn't speak until Melinda May nodded. "Dr. Horton Radcliffe was attacked," the agent said. "The Gowanda police were notified of an armed robbery on Route 62. At the same time, Dr. Horton Radcliffe was also attacked. …Uh, looting.”

The word ransacked was a euphemism to describe Dr. Radcliffe's house. When Melinda May and Maria Hill saw the plight of the house, they knew that "destroyed" should be used to describe it. . Judging from the reports received by the local police and the photos of a police car that was attacked, the perpetrators of the attack are likely to have very powerful weapons.

After sending away the low-level agents, Melinda May looked at Maria Hill. "What do you know?"

"Dr. Holden Radcliffe, as a person who has come into contact with the Book of Darkness, is naturally on the arrest list." Maria Hill replied, "Now I want to find out, Holden Radcliffe Why did Dr. Cliff come into contact with the "Book of Darkness", and who opened it and read it."

"The android from the Life-Model Decoy project," said Melinda May. "The android has no soul and can safely read the Dark Book. Without that android to help, one of our teams would have been destroyed." Trapped in an abnormal dimension and unable to escape.”

"Do you remember Vision?"

"The Avenger?"

"Yes, it was originally Jarvis, the artificial intelligence of Stark Industries. But after it installed a magical item called the Mind Stone, it was no longer Jarvis but Vision. I Can you understand that?"

"You mean, the Life-Model Decoy project has rebelled?" Melinda May suddenly became nervous. Maria Hill felt like a cat with explosive hair, and her hair almost stood on end. , "Will it be leaked? To whom?"

"This is the best outcome. What's worse is that it spreads the corruption to the computers we use, and even the Internet." Maria Hill nodded, "I need to talk to Phil Coulson Let’s talk in detail. The vibranium box that Nick Fury gave him did not contain all SHIELD secrets. There are many documents that can only be collected in the form of paper documents and can only be hidden in a base somewhere on the earth. .”

"How should we respond?" Melinda May asked, "We don't even know who the attackers are or what their purpose is."

"Actually, we know."

A few minutes later, the low-level agent knocked on the office door again. This time he was much more anxious.

"The Zephyr One is on its way to the base," he said. "They say they've brought Dr. Horton Radcliffe with them."
