If it weren't for the accident in London (the leakage of the etheric energy of the Reality Gem), Li Jie and the others probably wouldn't have discovered that there was another civilization hidden in this world, from the remnants of the previous generation before this civilization.

And this secret has been hidden by Nick Fury, and he may be the only one in the world who knows this secret. And he also secretly helps the leader of the Inhumans, the Black Bolt, search for the awakened Inhumans to fill the Inhuman population.

Li Jie didn't know what kind of conditions Black Bolt had promised to get Nick Fury to agree to do this. Because Nick Fury is not a good negotiator. This black one-eyed dragon is a guy with a darker heart than a face.

But also to Tonick Fury's blessing, he and Black Bolt have established a relatively complete communication channel for more than a decade. Communication between the two sides also avoids a lot of possible troubles. Overall, Nick's collaboration with Inhumans is good for Earth.

At least the good outweighed the disadvantages, at least he could know who the Inhumans were on Earth, and whether they had malicious intentions or not.

It is precisely because of this perfect communication channel that Nick was able to quickly communicate with Black Bolt and convey Li Jie's intention: a kind greeting.

"Do I need to change into a formal dress or something, do I want a tie or bow tie?" asked Nick Fury. They are now in a small town in Nevada. Or in what used to be a small town.

Nevada is a place where both an oceanic and continental climate coexist. There are not only the pleasant scenery of green mountains and green waters, but also the endless wilderness and desert. For example, the famous casino city of Las Vegas was built on the desert terrain of Nevada.

The town where Li Jie stayed looked like it was originally a settlement, and judging by the signage, it seemed to be called a city. However, Li Jie thinks that calling this place a city is a bit too exalted.

Judging from the houses that remain, it is estimated that the population of this place was only a few thousand at its most prosperous. The whole city was built along a main road. Almost all the buildings you can see are on both sides of this street. It is a city that has sprung up because of highways.

Perhaps many passers-by by car used to use this as a place to stop and make this town prosperous. However, after the opening of the new expressway, the old expressway was abandoned, so the town was also abandoned.

And Lee Jay and Nick Fury are sitting in what was supposed to be a fast-food restaurant in this town. However, because the sign of this fast food restaurant has fallen, Li Jie can't tell whether this restaurant is a pretty old man or a golden arch.

But it shouldn't be Calstar or Burger King, because the only remaining menu doesn't see any potato king or anything.

After arriving here, Nick and Li Jie cleaned up a clean countertop by themselves. Thanks to the man-made materials, although high-strength engineering plastics and the like cannot be degraded in nature for thousands of years, from another point of view, the tables, chairs and benches made of artificial materials such as engineering plastics and stainless steel are still very easy to use after being vacant for decades. And it's easy to clean up a bit.

The agreed time with Black Bolt has not yet arrived, and Li Jie has to chat with Nick Fury for some days. Although Li Jie doesn't like Nick very much (Nick actually doesn't like Li Jie either). But there are still some necessary questions to be asked, such as some things about Black Bolt.

Because after this, Li Jie needs to face the leader of a race. It takes a bit of skill to negotiate with such a high-ranking person. It is better to know in advance what the preferences of the other person are, what are the taboos. So as not to wait for a while to inexplicably touch the mine, if it does, it will not be good.

"So do I need to wear a formal outfit, does it look indecent to wear a hood, do I need to change into a suit and tie?" Li Jie touched his chin and asked Nick if he was dressed appropriately, and he asked with some concern, "What kind of person is Black Bolt King?" is he serious or unsmiling or a very cold middle-aged man, is it difficult to communicate with him?"

Nick Fury had spoken alone with the Nightkin for the first time in his life, and the last time he had a drink with the Punisher, the Nightkin was there, but it felt fine at the time. Now that he was alone, he inexplicably felt that Nightkin was annoying.

Especially when he heard the Nightcrawler's description of the Black Bolt King with words like "a very cold middle-aged man who doesn't smile", Nick looked at Li Jie in some surprise: "Who are you listening to?"

"Nickname! Nickname!" Li Jie shook his finger: "Black Bolt King, listen to this nickname, what can you think of?"

"What?" Nick didn't keep up with Lee's brain circuit.

"Night Stalker, the popular hero character in DG's comics, Night Stalker, that middle-aged man with a ass chin!" Li Jie said in a heavy voice: "Isn't he just a man who is silent and not good at communicating? Remember the story of "Night Stalker vs. Helium Bolong"? Isn't it just two stupid men who are not good at communication and went down together. ”

"Black Bolt King, listening to his nickname, he is inexplicably a bit similar to the Night Stalker. If he's a man like the Night Stalker, it's a problem. Such people are generally paranoid, with some hysteria and neuroticism. They are often separated from madmen by a thin line, always walking between geniuses and madmen. I don't like to deal with this kind of person the most. ”

Nick: ...... "You measure a real-life leader by a comic book character, is that really good?"

Li Jie shrugged: "Nightcrawler also published comics, comics are published, my personal issue of comic magazine ranked twelfth in the national comic sales list, and the results are a bit bad." In addition, DG only has one personal publication of "Night Stalker" left in the top 10, in fact, "Night Stalker" magazine has always been the best-selling magazine in the United States. Other publications can't even make it into the top 20. ”

"You don't read comics?" Li Jie turned to ask Nick this question, and the black one-eyed dragon shook his head.

"Ah, then you really should take a look. It seems that the current Agent Hill has agreed to adapt the S.H.I.E.L.D. comics. She has already sold the rights to Marvel. Maybe they'll show you up too, and then you've left them your bank account number?" Li Jie's words made Nick clench his fists.

'Why do I want to hit someone?' Nick asked himself if he couldn't find a suitable reason, but he just wanted someone to beat him. But before he could find someone to beat him, there was a sound of footsteps.

It seemed that the Black Bolt King had arrived, and Nix opened his fist and asked Li Jie, "Did you bring what I asked you to bring before?"

Li Jie nodded solemnly: "Bring it." But is it really good to use this as a greeting gift for Black Bolt?"

Nick Fury smiled slightly: "It couldn't be better." Trust me, this is Black Bolt's favorite gift. ”

In between the conversations between Li Jie and Nick, a black figure appeared at the door of the abandoned restaurant.
