Chapter 005: The Only Exception
"That's what I'm worried about." Fury's expression was slightly solemn.
Of course he understood what Hill meant.
The so-called 'Tahiti Project', to put it bluntly, is actually a secret plan that specializes in how to use the corpse of a 'Kree' accidentally obtained by S.H.I.E.L.D.
Originally, Fury was entrusted with Coulson's responsibility, and it went smoothly at first, successfully extracting a liquid named 'GH-325' from the corpse of the 'Kree'.
This liquid can bring the dying back to life in situ.
The only problem is that the person receiving the treatment will suffer unimaginable pain in the process, and for them, they would rather die than suffer this inhuman pain.
As a result, Coulson suggested to Fury that he wanted to discontinue the program, as anyone who had seen the treatment process understood how cruel it was.
Fury also heeded Coulson's advice and at one point halted the plan.
It wasn't until Coulson was stabbed through the chest by Loki with a staff during the 'Zetari Invasion' incident and stepped into the ghost gate with one foot that Fury did not hesitate to reactivate the 'Tahiti Project' and save him in order to save him.
But, like those who were treated before him, Coulson couldn't bear the inhuman pain, and even if he was eventually rescued, he was devastated.
In order to restore him to normal, he had to be hypnotized, sealing the painful memories that could not be recalled and implanting him with a false memory of a vacation in Tahiti.
After that, Fury decisively suspended the 'Tahiti Project' completely, deleted all the archives and records, and issued a gag order.
Most of the staff involved in the project at the time voluntarily chose to undergo hypnosis, sealing this unreminiscent memory, and only a very small part of it still retained this memory.
Therefore, there are not many people who know about the 'Tahiti Project', and even Coulson, the original person in charge of the project, does not remember it at all.
This is also the reason why Fury wanted to support Coulson just now, because his choice to 'resurrect' Coulson may not be fair to Coulson himself.
If it weren't for Fury's reluctance to watch Coulson die, Project Tahiti might have been sealed forever.
Therefore, there are very few people who know about this, let alone outsiders, even within S.H.I.E.L.D. few people know about it.
But now that this matter has been leaked, this can only mean one thing...... Something went wrong inside S.H.I.E.L.D.!
Hill didn't say it explicitly, also because the topic was really heavy.
"And who are we now?" Hill wasn't quite sure what Fury was going to do.
Fury muttered: "There is no way to find out how the plan was leaked for the time being, you can put it aside for the time being, and the most important thing now is to make sure that the 'Tahiti Project' will not be dug up again." β
Ciel: "What to do, you say." β
Fury: "Whatever the background of the hiring of the Rising Tide organization, most of the leaked data has already reached the other side, and the other party may be able to use that data to find all the information of all the people involved in the Tahiti Project, and then break it one by one." β
"There are not many people who really participate in the 'Tahiti Project', and most of them have actively undergone hypnotherapy, completely sealing that memory, and only a few of them are still preserved."
"Moreover, almost all of these few people work at the headquarters, and it is not so easy for the other party to make up their minds even if they want to, except for one person......
"You meanβ"
Hearing this, a figure suddenly appeared in Hill's mind.
"Yes, the one you guessed...... Dr. Raymond, who is in charge of the psychotherapy of the Tahiti Project, as well as the post-hypnosis work. Fury said slowly.
"But isn't he being treated?"
Fury said a little helplessly: "If it weren't for this data breach, I wouldn't want to bother him casually, after all, he also got sick because of that incident." β
"But the current situation obviously does not allow him to stay outside, once he is found by the other party, he will most likely face the danger of his life, and the other party will not let him go because he is sick."
"So, I hope you can make a trip and bring him back, and if he doesn't get better at all and needs follow-up treatment, I will also ask someone to come to the headquarters to help him with treatment."
Without thinking about it, Hill happily agreed, "Leave it to me." β
"Then I'm bothering you." Fury nodded slightly, thanking Ciel.
Because it stands to reason that even if he is the director, he should not easily let Hill, the dignified deputy director, go out on a mission.
But this is something that can't be helped.
The only people who can carry out this task are those who know about the 'Tahiti Project', and sending other people to do so will cause trouble, and among the few people who know about it, it is very likely that there is a traitor who leaked the 'Tahiti Project'.
When he couldn't determine who the mole was, he had to trouble Hill to make a trip.
He still has a lot of trust in Ciel.
Although Hill disagrees with him on many things, he often disagrees with him, such as the [Avengers] plan that he is optimistic about, which Hill has always strongly opposed.
Hill has always insisted that superheroes can't be expected to cooperate willingly with S.H.I.E.L.D. based on those ethereal things, and that there must be some constraints.
Fury's opinion is quite the opposite.
But after all, this is just a battle of ideas, and Fury doesn't think Hill will do anything to damage S.H.I.E.L.D.
It must be known that Hill was parachuted directly to S.H.I.E.L.D. by the [World Security Council] to appoint the deputy director, and to some extent, she herself was sent by the council to supervise Fury.
The Board of Directors apparently trusts Hill more than Fury.
After the last 'Zetari incident', the board of directors had the intention of replacing Fury as the director, because during that incident, Fury had disobeyed the orders of the council several times and insisted on going his own way.
However, Hill strongly supported Fury and firmly opposed the council's fuss on the matter.
It can be seen that Hill is very principled in terms of right and wrong, otherwise, Fury will be replaced nine times out of ten because she will take over the position of director, and she has no reason to help Fury speak.
It is precisely because of her past that Fury trusts her very much.
At least among the people who knew about the Tahiti Project, Hill was the only person he could trust at the moment, and if he didn't send Hill, he would probably have to go out himself.
But as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., countless pairs of eyes are watching his every move.
If he really comes out, it is tantamount to three hundred taels of silver here.
So he finally chose to ask for Hill.
"I've already sent his specific information to your personal terminal, and everything else is up to you, so I won't interfere more." Fury said after sending the message to Ciel.
Hill glanced at the special watch on his wrist and made an OK gesture to indicate that it had been received.
"[Clockwork Psychiatric Hospital]......"
Hill couldn't help but pronounce the name.
