Chapter 440: Obelisk
Daniel Whitehall, one of the giants of Hydra, is also an old immortal who survived the war years like Straker and Zemmer.
Unlike the five fingers of the hand and the five fingers that rely on a dragon bone to continue their lives, these have their own life-sustaining secrets from World War II to today's old immortality, such as Baron Straker, who relies on the infinite formula serum modified by the Super Soldier Serum Demon to delay aging. Whitehall, on the other hand, relied on Inhuman cells.
Whitehall's men captured an inhuman woman who had been immortal for eternity, and Yong brutally disemboweled her internal organs, robbed her of her powers, and transplanted them into Whitehall's body, helping him rejuvenate and gain the ability to absorb the life force of others.
By the way, that Inhuman woman happens to be the biological mother of Skye (real name Daisy Johnson), the shockwave girl in Coulson's team, who has been missing for many years.
Richard casually borrowed the body of a Hydra agent and walked down the corridor of the Whitehall base behind Sunil Bakshi with his hands on his back. Mr. Bakshi was Dr. Whitehall's most confidant, and his position was roughly equivalent to that of the bald man under the former Minister Skin, and his most effective assistant.
Agent Bakhi led the way, apparently in his own base and the other party was alone, but he couldn't help himself and kept swallowing, and he didn't even dare to look back at the guest.
It felt like even a glance back and he could die instantly.
Agent Bakhi has heard a lot of rumors about the Hydra god. He had heard that this old ancestor had survived alone in the harsh environment of an alien planet for thousands of years, and this alone should have thought that the other party had already surpassed the scope of human beings. He had also heard that this ancestor possessed countless superpowers, that he could rival an entire team of heavily armed agents on his own, and that he could make people obey like a pug.
Countless rumors made him unable not to feel nervous, and in his eyes, even the other party dared to come to the base of their Hydra branch alone without a single soldier, which in itself was a proof of strength and confidence.
Fortunately, their destination was soon reached, and Mr. Bakshi felt a great sigh of relief, as if he had been relieved of a thousand pounds of burden. He took a step back and gestured to the door in front of him.
"Dr. Whitehall has been waiting for a long time." He said.
Richard nodded slightly, pushed the door and walked in.
The gentleman in the light gray suit in the room was standing with his back to the door, facing the dazzling sunlight, and there was indeed a bit of a behind-the-scenes boss forced to develop.
"When I was told that you were going to come and talk in person, I suspected I had misheard." Whitehall sat down at his desk and crossed his fingers, "I've always wanted to talk to you, but I've never been able to get this opportunity. What, what's going on today? ”
Richard didn't say hello to him, and said straight to the point: "Many years ago, Aegis took in a creature called the 'Symbiote Dragon', I think Dr. Whitehall should have an impression, right?" ”
Whitehall's eyes flickered behind the lenses.
"Oh, that swarthy monster." He leaned back in his chair, "Impressions." What's wrong? ”
"Pierce traded that part of the file to you, and now I need it, along with all the clues you've found about that thing."
Whitehall narrowed his eyes slightly. He and Richard looked at each other for a moment, then unhurriedly took off his glasses and began wiping them.
"It's a little bit old." "You know I've lived for many years, and I've been through so much. Some things will inevitably be left in the corners of memory, and it may take a little effort to get them back...... And the cost. ”
The old guy is already explicitly wanting benefits.
It makes sense. At the beginning, Whitehall took out the corresponding price code to buy this information from the old Minister Pierce, and now they want to get this part of the information back, so naturally they have to pay the corresponding price.
Of course, this was expected by Richard, and in fact he had expected what the old fellow Whitehall would say before he came to visit.
As for what price tag Whitehall wants?
It's not a secret at all, anyone who is a hydra knows it.
Richard slowly raised his hand and flipped his palm, as if he had pulled out a strangely shaped object from the legendary "four-dimensional chrysanthemum". It was all silver, and the surface of the structure was smooth and angular, like a miniature model of ancient Egyptian architecture.
Dr. Whitehall's eyes widened. He couldn't hold it back, and the whole person stood up from the seat with a "poof".
"You...... Where did you get this? He asked.
Richard looked at him expressionlessly, and did not answer, only gently placed the thing on the table.
Dr. Whitehall was short of breath and his eyes were about to glow. But considering his identity, he still tried his best to suppress the impulse: "This is ......"
"Obelisk." Richard put his hands behind his back, "I believe this is what you've been searching for all your life." ”
The Obelisk, something Whitehall has been working on since the time of World War II. At that time, Whitehall's scientists told him that this thing contained extremely powerful energy, and all scientists said that the material of this thing was very special and that it was not something on earth, so Whitehall always believed that this thing could be weaponized and made into some kind of weapon of mass destruction.
Later studies found that the vast majority of humans who came into contact with the obelisk directly with their bare hands would be petrified by the material covering its surface and die, and only a small number of people with special talents would have the power to touch it directly. At that time, Hydra believed that those people were the chosen ones, and when these people touched the obelisk, a special red light pattern appeared on the surface of the obelisk, as if echoing with the bearer (in fact, it was an alien).
So one can imagine Whitehall's surprised look when he saw the "God of Hydra" grab the obelisk with his bare hands and put it down.
"You're one of them, too?"
Whitehall's first reaction was that the leader in front of him was also a stranger, but he quickly dismissed this idea.
"No, in that case the obelisk should have a reaction." Whitehall frowned, "Since you're not one of them, why were you able to touch the obelisk without being petrified?" ”
Richard laughed in his heart.
Heh, if he can be brought down with just such a thing, then his shameful Ultraman can almost just quit the group.
"It's too early to be surprised, Dr. Whitehall."
Richard said unhurriedly, flipped his palm again, and found an obelisk out of nowhere.
Whitehall almost jumped straight out of his chair this time.
