Chapter 363 Ghost Traces, Tony’s Doubts (Second Update)
New York, Lockhart's study.
The golden sunlight shines through the glass on the desk, floor, and bookcases.
Lockhart slumped his hands on the desk, feeling the warm sunshine shining on his body, and the corners of his mouth subconsciously curved.
His eyes were now focused on a bronze token placed on the desk.
The token is inconspicuous and even a little shabby. Even ordinary wizards will just pass by it when they walk next to it, because they don't feel the slightest breath of magic, just like a mortal thing.
However, when Lockhart's fingers touched the bronze token, a weak magic was instilled in it.
suddenly
As the magic power flows, dense dark green lines appear on the surface.
At first glance, these lines outline some fonts, English, Russian, French, etc. The fonts are constantly changing, as if adapting to the observer.
Soon, the familiar simplified characters appeared in Lockhart's eyes - search warrant!
Although there are not too many Kama Taj mages, all departments are still complete, as if there is magic.
There are books on management, combat, divination, and more.
Of course, in terms of internal supervision, Kamal Taj also has corresponding measures. The search warrant is a symbol of the search for the master.
Well, it's a bit similar to Jin Yiwei.
Now, Lockhart has the authority to form a team of investigators specifically to detect internal traitors.
This position is considered upper-middle-class among the entire Kamal Taj, and the power it holds is not small.
Lockhart was a little surprised by Ancient One's generosity, but he felt that it was expected.
As for the purpose of Ancient One, Lockhart did not want to explore too much. Time will give him the final answer.
His current purpose is to reduce the existing dangers as much as possible before the war.
For example, that Master David, and the Alliance!
Last time, he saw some interesting things from the other party's memory.
Now, it can be taken out with a formal reason.
S.H.I.E.L.D., Director's Office.
"What's the result of Ghost Trace?"
Nick Fury slapped the report in his hand directly on the table and asked Coulson seriously in front of him.
"I'm sorry, there is currently no way to stop the other party from moving forward." Coulson said in a low voice.
"Colson, is there any news about Pierce now?" Nick Fury rubbed his temples in distress again: "You should know, if the news is completely leaked, what impact will it have on SHIELD?"
Nick Fury's voice became more serious, as if he was emphasizing the truth.
Hearing this, Coulson could only remain silent.
Before yesterday, SHIELD detected an anomaly on the Internet.
A transparent body, like a female ghost, was unconscious and walking towards the west very stubbornly.
It was filmed with a camera and uploaded to the Internet.
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s specialized information department, after learning about it, immediately cut off the spread of the news and started research on the ghost.
But they were shocked to find that no matter what method they used, including but not limited to energy methods, they did not cause even a trace of hindrance to the other party.
The other party passed through the research equipment, passed through the cage they prepared, passed through the human body, and floated towards the west.
Although the scene looks a bit weird, it is not really a big trouble for the god game.
Just do some road clearing in advance.
But the problem is.
There was not only one ghost, but other ghosts were discovered one after another, and they kept traveling in a certain direction.
And the most troublesome thing was that they found that one of the ghosts looked very familiar.
It's their former director-Alexander Pierce!
This is where Nick Fury’s troubles lie.
The news is currently blocked and the impact has not yet expanded.
If something unexpected happens to your former boss, SHIELD is helpless.
The doubts it will raise and the impact it will have on other aspects will be difficult to estimate.
"Are you still unable to contact Lockhart?" Nick Fury asked distressedly.
When he found that technological means were ineffective, he immediately thought of the power of magic.
Lockhart was naturally the first choice.
But the problem is that they can't contact Lockhart at the moment.
Even the black card in my hand cannot enter Wanxiang Book Cafe, as if it is blocked.
All signs make Nick Fury have to think more.
I don't know if Lockhart really has something going on, or if he is trying to escape from something.
"Director, if that doesn't work, let's find Tony." Coulson suggested cautiously: "Maybe he might develop a weapon specifically targeting ghosts."
"Besides, his research on magic is the deepest among all the people."
"Okay, you can contact me." Nick Fury hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand helplessly and ordered.
"Be careful over there Pierce."
"Also, have the identities of the other people been found? Where was the first place where these ghosts appeared? Why wasn't it mentioned in the intelligence just now?"
In response, Coulson shook his head bitterly and said: "Sorry, Director, except for Director Pierce's identity, the identities of the others have not been successfully identified."
"Also, we looked for several entities similar to the first location, but we didn't find any useful information."
Nick Fury had no expression on his face when he heard this.
"Colson, three days, just three days, I don't care what you think of, these ghosts must be dealt with within three days."
"Otherwise, just have a good rest with your cello-playing girlfriend later."
America, wilderness area.
A transparent figure, like a ghost, floats on the ground, constantly floating forward.
The ghost's face was dull, but its eyes were glowing red, and it was floating at a speed comparable to that of a moving pickup truck.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
At this moment, two black pickup trucks were driving next to the ghost at the same speed.
In the compartment behind the pickup truck, three or four S.H.I.E.L.D. agents wearing black combat uniforms and two researchers wearing white robes were playing with instruments and observing and studying the abnormal phenomenon in front of them - ghost traces.
"Scanning the micro energy particles, the scan is over, there is no abnormality."
"."
"The 78th laser shot, increase the frequency, temperature, and energy again, and start shooting."
"The shooting ended without any impact on the ghost itself."
"."
One ineffective effect after another made the researchers on the carriage feel puzzled and enthusiastic.
There is no radiation, no energy, as if everything is nothingness.
This is really weird.
If it is not seen with the naked eye, it is impossible to judge with a machine.
If this ghost could be thoroughly studied, it would be impossible to win the Nobel Prize.
When they thought of this, their eyes became even more eager.
At this moment, suddenly.
call!
Above the sky, Tony Stark wearing a steel suit flew next to the ghost.
"Jarvis, just control the flight speed to be the same as the ghost."
"Such a magical thing, I want to start researching it."
"Mr. Stark, I received your order, but unfortunately, no trace of the ghost has been found so far."
"Do you want to do a deep search?"
"How is that possible?" Tony Stark was in the suit, looking at the research files he had just transferred (stolen) from the S.H.I.E.L.D. system, feeling extremely shocked.
"A void? Are you kidding me?"
