Chapter 754 The Eternals

Ten hours after Fury disappeared.

Captain America Steve Rogers and Black Widow agent Natasha Romanoff were temporarily detained in secret alloy cells in Vienna.

The two are now like prisoners, wearing high-current restraint props. Once any abnormal movement is detected on them, thousands of volts of current will be released, enough to subdue them in an instant.

A bright interrogation room.

Grant Ward was wearing a suit and ties, looking like a nobleman attending a banquet. He had a familiar fake smile on his face and sat in the interrogation position.

Sitting opposite the person being interrogated was the famous Black Widow: Natasha Romanoff, a former eighth-level agent and one of the cronies of former S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury.

Although in previous missions, Natasha often played the role of being interrogated in order to extract more information, this was the first time for her to sit in the interrogation room at home.

"It's an honor to be sitting here."

After Grant sat down, he was not in a hurry to start the interrogation. Instead, he flipped through his notes casually: "You should know in your heart that this is an interrogation in accordance with regulations, so I hope that Miss Black Widow can cooperate with our work."

"What do you want to know?"

Natasha showed neither anger nor any dissatisfaction. Instead, she acted as if she was trying her best to cooperate: "I generally understand the rules. If you want to ask anything, I can tell you."

It's not because she's disloyal or has no feelings for Fury, it's just that she understands that being tough is useless.

Even if your will is as strong as iron, SHIELD has plenty of ways to pry open your mouth and get the information they want.

For things like Veritaserum, S.H.I.E.L.D. has hundreds of different formulas. It is guaranteed that after one injection, you will be able to clearly describe the bad things you did when you were a child.

Especially the man in front of me...

Natasha is very familiar with his methods, she is extremely good at playing with people's hearts, and she has no moral bottom line. Basically, few spies from various countries who fall into his hands can escape alive.

Even if he could survive it, he would eventually become mentally ill and be sent to Elizabeth Mental Hospital for recuperation.

"Very good, it seems that Miss Natasha is not as tough-talking as the rumors say." Grant was very satisfied with her performance and smiled slightly: "Since you are willing to cooperate, then I will get straight to the point. Nick Fury should return You have other tasks, right?"

"......yes."

Natasha was silent for a moment, then finally admitted this and said, "Responsible for monitoring Steve Rogers and, if necessary, retrieving the obelisk at all costs."

"No, no, no..."

Grant raised a finger, waved it in front of Natasha, and said with a grin: "Miss Natasha, you should know very well that what I want to ask about is not the obelisk, but another more important item. plan."

"......I do not know what you're talking about."

A look of confusion appeared on Natasha's face: "The only task Fury gave me was to retrieve the obelisk. There are no other tasks."

"I'm very disappointed, Miss Natasha."

Grant's eyes sank slightly, his originally handsome face looked a little ferocious, and his voice suddenly dropped a few degrees: "Do you need me to remind you? Before the death of Level 8 agent Phil Coulson, Nick Fury gave him A secret mission, a research plan about the [Spirit Son] project."

Natasha's face finally changed, and a look of shock appeared in her eyes, and all this was taken into Grant's eyes, which made him even more convinced of the previous intelligence. Nick Fury handed over the research plan of the [Spirit Son] project to Natasha Romanov was put in charge.

"Later, Agent Coulson was killed."

Grant knew it well at this time. He relaxed on the seat, folded his arms in front of his chest, and said confidently: "Nick Fury changed the person in charge of this project to you. I want to know The content of this plan and the location of the secret testing base."

"Who...are you?"

Natasha looked at him deeply, but her heart was already filled with turmoil.

The research plan related to the Spirit Son Project is classified as the highest level 10 secret in SHIELD's database. Only a few people in the entire SHIELD have the right to know about this plan, but it is just a name.

And Grant is only an eighth-level agent, how could he know the confidential information of the tenth level?

Grant was so satisfied that the famous Black Widow could show such a look of shock and horror, so he showed a mysterious smile and mouthed a sentence silently.

Natasha is proficient in lip reading, so she was able to identify from Grant's mouth shape that the sentence he said was...cut off one head, and two more will grow back!

"No...that's impossible!"

Natasha's pupils shrank slightly, her expression changed in a short time, and she said in horror: "You were completely wiped out by SHIELD as early as seventy years ago during World War II!"

"Ha ha ha ha......"

Grant's wild laughter was mixed with a hint of sarcasm and ridicule: "Everyone thought we were wiped out, but in fact we didn't disappear at all, we just changed our form and have been under your noses."

"Fury...did you do it?"

Natasha's face changed drastically. It was only at this moment that she finally understood that everything was a conspiracy of Hydra, and they had been completely infiltrated without knowing it!

No wonder......

With Grant's authority, he actually knew the plan for the Spirit Son project.

And there is probably Hydra hidden among the higher-ups of S.H.I.E.L.D., and even among the Security Council, otherwise nothing will happen to Nick Fury.

"I'll give you one last chance."

Grant tapped the table with one finger and smiled confidently as if he had a chance to win: "Tell us about the plans for the Spirit Son Project and the secret testing base, and I can apply to the higher-ups for you to join us."

"Sounds good."

Natasha was silent for a few seconds, and then regained her composure: "Not only can I save my life, but I might also be able to get promoted and make a fortune. Besides, I have betrayed the country before, and now I betray it again. It's not incomprehensible, right?"

"Yes, this is the right choice."

A slow smile spread across Grant's face.

"But...I refuse!"

There was a touch of sarcasm in Natasha's eyes, and she said coldly: "Although I have betrayed the country, done many ugly and bad things, killed many innocent people, and even killed my conscience, but I... Natasha Sha Romanov has never betrayed humanity!"

"You...know the consequences?"

The smile on Grant's face was frozen for a moment, and gradually turned into a cold one. Visible anger erupted from those eyes, as if it was going to burn her up.

"Stop trying to use Veritaserum."

Natasha sneered and said: "The 'Swallow' who came out of the red house has long been immune to that thing. Just let me see if you Hydra has any other methods."

...

...

...

In the underground waterway.

"Formal introduction."

The handsome man with short blond hair crossed his arms in front of his chest and said calmly: "You can call me Ikaris. Our family has been silently guarding mankind since hundreds of years ago, and secretly guiding the development of mankind. .”

"Then... who are you?"

Fury narrowed his eyes habitually, and was not surprised at all. After all, he had experienced this kind of thing a lot, and he was already used to it. He asked in a very calm tone.

"We are...the Eternals."

Ikaris said solemnly.

"The Eternals...are you alone?" Fury glanced at him and asked in surprise.

"No...there were a lot of people before."

Ikaris seemed to be mentioned something sad, with a trace of sadness in his eyes: "But now...there are only three people left."

"Killed by mutants?"

Fury raised the tip of his eyebrows, and the threat level to the mutants in his heart increased several notches.

"It's not a mutant race..."

Ikaris gritted his teeth, anger bursting out of his eyes, and said in a cold voice: "You should be familiar with their murderer."

"oh?"

Fury looked curious.

"he is the one......"

Ikaris took a deep breath, then spit it out heavily, and said in a deep voice: "The ruler of the Invisible Empire, the leader of the Knights of the Star Cross—Yuglen Hasward!"

"..."

Fury looked a little weird.
