Long Island, New York, inside a boutique apartment building owned by Four Seasons Hotels. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Nick Fury's private residence. This is Nick's own personal space.

As the head of S.H.I.E.L.D., he is far from what he seems.

It is an almost eternal truth that there are as many rights as there are obligations. Of course, if you don't care about your reputation in the future, or if you don't have any beliefs in your heart that you need to keep, you can certainly ignore this passage.

Rights and obligations were formed in the primary human civilization tens of thousands of years ago. The strongest warriors of that era enjoyed the best food in their clan.

Have the most spouses and live in the best house.

But all this enjoyed by these fighters was not free. He needed to throw away his life when the tribe needed him to sacrifice.

Maybe it's in a war with other tribes, maybe it's when you're encircling a dangerous prey.

No matter how human civilization changes, this unwritten rule is still circulating. Even if for some reason, under certain conditions.

Some people, or a specific group of people, have been treated beyond the norm but have not fulfilled the obligation to match.

Then one day they will spit out what they don't deserve, maybe for a longer time, but the longer it goes, the more tragic the price they pay.

Nick Fury, a veteran. He fought in the Vietnam War, and there are even rumors that he fought in World War II, and he was a by-product of the Captain America Super Soldier program.

But Nick Fury's archives are top-secret, and it is impossible for outsiders to really know how many great things Nick Fury did in his legendary life.

He has experienced many battles and choices unimaginable in his life. When it is necessary to sacrifice some people to save more.

Nick will not hesitate to sacrifice those people, it is not his cold-bloodedness. It's about being in his place, and he's going to have to take responsibility.

It may be cruel, even cold, but believe me, it's a decision that someone in a position of high status must make.

A good person in power must not only earn enough praise, but also have enough courage to bear more infamy.

But all of this doesn't mean that Nick Fury is an emotionless animal.

In fact, as a veteran who came out of the sea of corpses and blood, Nick understands the importance of every life even more.

Some people say that too much war and killing can make people lose themselves and forget all the beauty and warmth.

But at the same time, the more wars and killings there are, the more people will understand the importance of peace, and the more they love life and the beauty of this world.

Nick Fury belongs to the latter group, and what lurks under his gloomy one-eyed eye is not the arrogance of monopoly power, but the expectation of more of the world.

He wants the world to be a better place and safer place.

But just as a coin has two sides, there are flowers and words, and there is light and darkness.

The bright one is longed for by everyone, and she represents all the beauty of the world.

But the dark ones are discouraged by all. Because if you want to dissolve in the darkness, you are afraid that you will fall into it, and you will not be able to extricate yourself from it.

Even those with light in their hearts will not be able to escape from it in the end.

When choosing sides between light and darkness on the most crucial question of life, Nick puts himself in the latter.

S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't always do things above board, and sometimes it's necessary to sacrifice the means for the sake of the end. If this terrible authority does not have a suitable leader.

It will become one of the most terrifying institutions in the world, even if it was the Gestapo back then.

Not everybody can be a legend like Peggy Carter. (Note: One of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D., Captain America's liaison officer and girlfriend.) ）

When Nick took over S.H.I.E.L.D., it already felt like the agency was slowly moving away from its original purpose.

It's no longer the institution it was created to protect the world, or that protecting the world and fighting evil is no longer the main purpose of S.H.I.E.L.D.

It became a colosseum for big shots, politics and power. Everyone wants to come in and get a foot, everyone wants to get a piece of the pie in this huge organization.

But they didn't really know how much trouble their actions would cause to S.H.I.E.L.D., just as Li Jie had hated before.

There are always people in this world who are self-righteous and do nothing but stir up tension and tension.

When Nick took over S.H.I.E.L.D., he discovered that the agency was in full shape, and he became the tinker for the wrecked ship.

The cyclops always had his own way, and he could always get the ship out when it was about to sink or hit the rocks.

He thought he had succeeded, but since that meeting in Washington, he knew that what he was doing was just a joke.

There are still all kinds of nails in S.H.I.E.L.D., and information, especially important information, leaks out like running water.

With the X-Men's plan rejected and facing more and more problems, Nick feels that his life choices are sometimes a mistake.

But as soon as he had that thought, he would forget it after three minutes, because he was Nick Fury, and he was an indomitable fighter.

But even the hardest steel has its moments of bending, and even the mighty warriors have moments of defeat.

When there were reports on TV about the relationship between mutants and ordinary people, Nick was eager to tear that big-mouthed Macaulay to shreds.

As a real person in power, he understands all the more complicated situations that can be caused by these bad things.

But there are no longer a few members of Congress who are biased against mutants, and there is even more prejudice against mutants among the population.

For the sake of their votes and support, politicians will follow the will of the people, and they do not care whether the will is right or wrong.

Anyway, you asked for it, voters, and behold, I did as you asked, and if anything happens, please don't blame me.

Because that's what you pig brains are asking for!

Nick needs to drink a bottle of spirits, but not in S.H.I.E.L.D. Because there, he must always look like he is going to win.

Because only in this way can he ensure that his subordinates have enough confidence to obey him.

This private, secret apartment is the only quiet place where he can fill himself with a bottle of whiskey like crazy.

And don't worry about anyone accusing him. Of course, due to Nick's own character, it is basically impossible for him to make such a crazy move.

He stops after drinking a maximum of three glasses of pure whiskey because his job requires him to stay sane in his decisions.

But there are exceptions to everything, such as when I was with Frank, an old friend who had pinned their lives on each other back-to-back during the Vietnam War.

In front of him, Nick can occasionally relax and remove some of his mask.

A person who has no friends, or no object to whom to confide their emotions in, is pathetic. Because whether it is joy or sorrow, it means little to him anymore.

Nick and Frank were staying in their private apartment on Long Island, and nearly half a bottle of Brazilian sugar cane wine had already been drunk by the two of them.

"Do you know what I hate most about this job?" Nick drank about four glasses of wine, but he had a lot of things to vent in his heart.

"It's that I know a lot of secrets, but no one else knows. These secrets that I know too much don't become my bragging rights, but rather push me into an awkward position because of some stupid decisions. ”

Frank didn't answer, and he added a mint leaf to the cane wine.

"Sometimes I was thinking, maybe I should have died while I was in Vietnam. I don't like that war, it won't be a glorious deed for me, before or since. ”

"People will only remember the massacre of civilians and the humiliation of women by American GIs, and of course, the inhumane chemical warfare. And the damn politicians who made all these decisions are alive and well. ”

"They asked the president to apologize and retire quietly in his old age, while our names were nailed to the pillar of shame. ”

"Do you know why I haven't died yet?" Nick said in a somewhat burdensome way.

"I think you should think the same way I do. Frank stirred the cane wine with mint leaves and finally spoke.

"We all expect the most heroic death in a great and glorious war. We actually do nothing but kill, and when the world doesn't need us to kill, we will be the most miserable people. ”

"We've been killing people all our lives, sometimes for the people, most of the time for the government, and now I'm quitting because I was told I could do it for faith and justice. Frank said as he took a sip of mint cane wine.

"When the day comes when the world doesn't need me to kill anymore, I think I'll save the last bullet to myself, and I'm sure you too. ”

"To this damn world. Nick didn't say whether he agreed with Frank or not, but instead raised his glass and said.

"To this beautiful and ugly world. Frank and Nick clinked their glasses, and they both drank their glasses in one gulp.

"I'm going to build a team of superheroes. Nick said and began to talk about more serious topics. "And I'm seriously understaffed right now, and there are a lot of things in this world that ordinary people can't deal with. Like the one you solved in Hell's Kitchen. ”

"I don't care how you guys solve it, and I need help now, I think you know what I mean. Nick Fury stared at Frank as he finished speaking.

Instead of answering Nick's question, Frank asks a question that seems completely unrelated. "Do you think everything is still under control?" (To be continued.) )
