S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters,

Inside the Director's Office on the top floor of the Delta Wing Building.

The director of the boiled egg sat on the boss's chair with a stinky face, and his fingers knocked on the work in front of him.

"So... In the end, he used a magic trick to escape from you and a dozen agents? Nick's tone suddenly became a little heavier: "Are you sure you're reporting to me on a mission and not about a movie?" ”

"I'm just reporting on what happened."

Hank's expression did not change due to his boss's anger, and he still looked down at the floor on the ground, as if trying to find a flower on the floor.

"Hmph."

Nick snorted coldly, and at the same time glanced at Hank, his subordinate's reaction looked a little abnormal,

Judging from past experience, this person should have been shouting loudly at this time, and suddenly standing there so quietly suddenly made Nick, who had long been accustomed to Hank's original style, a little unaccustomed.

Maybe he did suffer some setbacks in this mission?

Nick thought so, and at the same time, the expression on his face slowed down slightly, after all, the other party was his right-hand man, and occasionally one or two misses could not deny Hank's previous contributions to S.H.I.E.L.D.,

What's more, for this kind of subordinates who are both loyal and capable, as a leader, they will generally be more tolerant.

"Forget it, you can't be blamed entirely for this, the intelligence department's misassessment of the target's capabilities is the key factor in your failure."

Nick casually picked up the USB flash drive that Hank had just handed over and played with it for a while, and then handed the USB flash drive to Hill, the deputy standing next to him, and said:

"Let's see if it's what we need."

"Okay."

Hill took the USB flash drive from Nick's hand, then walked directly to a wall, and with a light click on the wall, a very ordinary-looking tile opened to both sides, revealing a precision instrument made of metal inside.

Hill plugged the USB flash drive into the interface on the instrument, as a department dedicated to dealing with all kinds of strange events around the world, S.H.I.E.L.D. is at the forefront of the earth in terms of personnel quality and scientific and technological strength.

So they didn't worry about the possible presence of a virus on the USB flash drive at all, because no matter what the virus was, it couldn't break through their internal system, and as the deputy director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Hill had enough confidence in the organization behind him.

"Buzz."

A huge screen suddenly appeared on the wall directly opposite Nick's desk,

After a series of complex decoding, the USB flash drive was finally successfully deciphered.

An ever-changing red number appears in the center of the large screen, and at the bottom of the page, there is a crimson bullet-shaped icon.

"Really?"

Hank stared at the picture and said, in fact, he himself had already believed Ryan's words, otherwise he would not have directly handed over the USB flash drive to Nick, but this kind of thing can only be more reassuring after confirming it with his own eyes.

"It's true."

Nick nodded in affirmation, and at the same time, his frowning brow relaxed instantly, although he seemed to be calm on the surface during this time, but the anxiety in his heart was completely opposite to what appeared on the surface.

He couldn't imagine how much trouble he would make if the nuclear bomb launch code was deciphered by Kim and his gang of criminals, and it was precisely because of the great impact of this incident that the military would put down face and take the initiative to ask S.H.I.E.L.D. for help.

"Now those GIs have to thank us."

Hank said with a smile, although there were some twists and turns in this matter, but fortunately, the ending was still good.

"Hmph."

At the mention of that group of soldiers, Nick's face turned cold again in an instant, and he didn't have a good breath:

"What do you think they mean by entrusting this matter to us this time?

It's nothing more than passing on their own mistakes to us, and the things are lost in their hands, and they should be held responsible.

But these bad embryos use all kinds of means to make the task of recovery fall on us, and if we succeed, then they don't have a, if we fail..."

A sarcastic smile appeared on Nick's face:

"If we fail, they're guaranteed to shift the blame onto us."

Although S.H.I.E.L.D. is subordinate to the International Security Council, because S.H.I.E.L.D. is headquartered in the United States,

Naturally, it is indispensable to deal with the local forces of the United States, and the US military, as one of the most powerful forces in this land, will not play any peace with S.H.I.E.L.D. in their heads.

"Whatever."

Hank waved his hand casually, he was not at all familiar with this kind of political maneuver, as an agent, he was more accustomed to solving problems with his fists.

"What should Ryan Gosling do?"

Hank asked again.

From his point of view, he doesn't really want to continue to hold Ryan accountable.

After all, the reason why this matter was able to end so successfully was precisely because of Ryan's sudden rebellion.

Although I don't know what made him suddenly choose to return the USB flash drive instead of using it to complete the task, S.H.I.E.L.D. has always only looked at the results, and the process in the middle is not important.

"Him?" Nick narrowed his remaining eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "Notify the intelligence department and raise his danger level by two more levels, and now we can't rule out the possibility that he has awakened his superpowers." ”

"And then?" Hank looked dazed.

"What else do we need to do?"

Nick had a smirk on his face, like a cunning fox:

"It won't do us any good to continue hunting him down, because his presence doesn't hurt us anyway.

It is better to let him continue to bounce outside, after all, only a few of us know about the things he gave back to us. ”

Rather than wasting time and energy dealing with a character who is harmless to him, it is better to let him out and disgust his potential opponents, considering that Kim is probably still thinking about being able to get the nuclear bomb launch code.

As a black-faced director, Nick Fury has more than just ink in his belly.

"I think we should get him back, maybe he secretly copied the program from the USB stick?" Hank hesitated for a moment and said suddenly.

"This kind of program starts a self-destruct program as soon as it wants to copy." Hill explained.

"You're in a relationship with that guy?"

As one of the bald bigwigs, Nick quickly heard Hank's voiceover, apparently because he was afraid that Ryan wouldn't be able to deal with Kim, so he wanted to protect him through this method.

"I just don't think he's a bad guy."

Hank is also single, and he didn't hide his inner thoughts after being recognized.

Instead, he said it directly, which is one of the reasons why Nick Fury trusted him, a guy who can't hide words in his stomach has absolutely no possibility of becoming a spy.

"Perhaps, we can use this opportunity to see how capable he really is, if he really meets our qualifications......"

Nick rubbed his chin and said, but the next few words were too quiet for Hank to be a little inaudible.
