Chapter 020: First Sight of Boiled Eggs
Late at night, New York.
Hilton Manhattan, Midtown Park Avenue.
Rena, who had just finished taking a shower and was lying down and had just started watching a movie on demand, suddenly received a phone call.
The caller ID was an unknown number, but she didn't have to guess to know that it must have been Addison's call.
Because her temporary number is only known to Addison.
"You'd better travel for the rest of the year and don't stay in North America." As soon as the phone was picked up, Addison's slightly gloomy voice came from inside.
"What's wrong?" Rena smelled something was wrong in Addison's words.
"The men and horses I sent to the [Clockwork Psychiatric Hospital] may have been ambushed, and none of them have come back, what the hell!" Addison's tone sounded like he was on the verge of an outburst, full of anger.
"How can this be......" Rena was also shocked.
She is very aware of Addison's energy, and those who can be sent by Addison to carry out tasks are definitely one in a hundred professional soldiers, who can leave them all?
"I also wonder why this is happening! ShitοΌ Addison gritted his teeth.
The men and horses he sent this time were already one-third of the force he could use at this stage, and if he really folded them all, many of his next plans would be disrupted.
This is definitely the last thing he wants to see.
"Could it be someone from S.H.I.E.L.D." who did it?" Rena asked cautiously.
"I'm not sure exactly what happened, so that's why I asked you to avoid the limelight first...... If it's really S.H.I.E.L.D., they'll know about you from that Dr. Raymond, and you'll most likely be the target of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the future. β
"I see."
"Remember to keep in touch with me regularly and don't come back until I've notified you that you can come back."
"Yes."
Toot, toot, toot, toot......
Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Rena forgot to hang up the phone for a while.
It was about half a minute before she woke up.
"Is that him?"
A face conjured up in Rena's mind, the half-race face that had deflated her for the first time.
For some reason, she always felt that this matter had nothing to do with that guy.
Although it was logically impossible for a helpless psychologist to deal with a team of heavily armed soldiers, even so, she felt that the incident had something to do with it.
She has no evidence, it is purely an intuition, an intuition that is unique to women.
Because there was no evidence, she didn't tell Addison about it on the phone, because even if she did, it would only make Addison think there was something wrong with her brain.
"Lord Clairvoyant can fight against S.H.I.E.L.D. for a long time, and he can gain the upper hand every time, why is there an accident only this time?" Rena's mind was full of doubts.
For the first time, she had doubts about the clairvoyant-sama's energy.
In the past, she had always felt that the clairvoyant-sama must be a big man in the transcendent world, and his power was pervasive, even S.H.I.E.L.D. was infiltrated by its forces.
But this time, it was obviously the clairvoyant who broke the job.
"Maybe I'm thinking too much......" After thinking about it, she found that she couldn't sort out the clue of this matter no matter what, so she finally decided not to think about it for the time being, and it was better to retreat first.
*********
The small fighter carrying Raymond and the three did not go directly to the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, but flew to the area where the S.H.I.E.L.D. academy was located not very far from the [Triqual Wing Building].
Inside a mountain villa west of S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy.
The director of the boiled egg bureau has been waiting here for a long time.
When Raymond walked off the plane after Hill and the others, there was only one eye left, and the director of the boiled egg, who looked like a pirate captain, immediately stepped forward and hugged him with a warm face:
"Welcome back, Dr. Raymond!"
"It's been a long time, Lord Directorβ"
Raymond smiled as well.
From the memory of the original owner of the body, it can be known that the relationship between the two is still very good.
It was Fury who personally came to the door to invite the original owner of the body to convince him to secretly join the 'Tahiti Project' and become a visiting professor at S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy.
Since then, the personal relationship between the two has been very good.
"I'm sorry I haven't been visiting you, I hope you understand...... After all, my identity is more sensitive, and if I bother you rashly, it will bring you trouble. Fury said apologetically.
"If you fully understand it, you don't have to explain so much to your own people." Raymond shook his head and smiled absently.
Hill interrupted at this time: "You two, let's talk in the first room, shall we?" β
"What Hill said was that I was confused." Fury slapped his forehead and laughed.
While speaking, several people had already walked into the villa.
As soon as Mei entered the house, she took the initiative to help grind the coffee, and the three of Raymond sat on the sofa in the living room and began to chat.
It is worth mentioning that when Hill was still on the plane, he had actually reported to Fury what happened to [Clockwork Psychiatric Hospital] through encrypted communication channels.
So Fury already has a general understanding of the situation and doesn't need to go into details.
As soon as he sat down, Fury asked with concern, "Listen to Hill, Doctor, your illness is almost cured?" β
Raymond nodded and said, "The recovery is not bad, and under normal circumstances, he should not be sick again." β
Fury: "That's good...... I was still telling Hill that when I got you back, if your illness hasn't improved much, I'll help you get the doctor here to see you. β
Raymond laughed, "There's no need for that, have you forgotten that I'm the best doctor myself?" β
Fury: "Of course I believe that, otherwise I wouldn't have come to visit back then, so I asked you to come and help." β
Raymond: "Okay, don't brag about me, let's get down to business, what do you think about this time?" Miss Hill has already told me about your previous speculations, has there been any progress now? β
"It's easier said than done." Fury sighed and said with a wry smile, "S.H.I.E.L.D.'s stall is really too big, even if I really have any suspicions, I don't dare to mess around, so as not to cause panic inside......
"If it really turns out to be that situation, the council will definitely find a way to replace me, and I think you know how unpleasant they see me."
"It's hard to get to the bottom of this! Hard! It's very hard! β
Fury said three times in a row, which shows that he also feels very troubled about this matter.
Raymond mused, "I don't see it that way. β
Friello looked at Raymond in surprise: "Huh? So what do you think? β
"The situation now is very simple, to put it bluntly, you don't have enough clues for you to investigate, but you can't check every person who is suspected."
"In that case, why not think differently...... If you can't check it, then don't check it out, why not throw the bait in your hand, and wait for the fish to come up and bite the hook on their own? β
