Chapter 173: S.H.I.E.L.D. and the New York Temple
Does Stephen know Nick Fury? Obviously, the two people actually know each other, although the friendship may not be very deep, but at least both parties know each other's identity, and they also know each other's contact information, etc.
After all, Stephen is a new generation of Supreme Mages, the guardian of the Earth.
And Nick Fury's S.H.I.E.L.D. ......
is also one of the guardians of the earth, and the positions of the two sides are actually similar.
The nature of the work is similar.
The only difference is.
Stephen is dealing with and wary of those Heavenly Father powerhouses of the multiverse.
And S.H.I.E.L.D. is better at handling household matters, like an alien invasion or something...... S.H.I.E.L.D. can't do anything, so it can only be handed over to the Avengers to resist the aliens, after all, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s combat power is still weaker.
In particular, there are not many high-end combat powers, and most of them are ordinary people.
And the Avengers seem to be S.H.I.E.L.D. of the United States.
In fact, it is more like a private organization, and everyone has their own ideas.
Don't stick to certain rules.
All in all......
The relationship between S.H.I.E.L.D. and the New York Temple is an organization-like one.
One is a powerful private organization.
The starting point of both sides.
And the purpose is actually almost the same, it's just to protect the earth, of course, the approach is definitely different, after all, while S.H.I.E.L.D. wants to protect the earth, it also has to deal with many superheroes, and disputes between supervillains, and it's a busy one.
Compared to the two, Stephen is more laid-back.
Especially after the negotiations with Dormammu.
Stephen didn't have much to do until Levi, the mysterious Asian mage, appeared.
Stephen's Thing......
Inexplicably there are a lot of them.
Sometimes.
He himself wondered a little, was that Levi his nemesis? Or is it an enemy of his past life? Otherwise, why did Levi live a very leisurely life every day when he didn't show up? It's only a few times that they go out to punish the evil and promote the good.
But ever since he met Levi, ever since he met Levi.
The situation has changed 180 degrees.
All kinds of troubles came like a tide, he had just repaired the energy shield destroyed by Levi on his front foot, and in the next second, a large number of mutants disappeared in Mexico, and it was suspected that someone had captured mutants and used them as sacrifices to summon the Great Devil from the Otherworld.
The leisurely and tranquil life of the Supreme Master was completely shattered.
Stephen just wanted to pull out an aperture and go directly to Nick Fury to say it to his face, but after thinking about it, he gave up the action, because he now looks blue and swollen, if he goes out to meet people, won't people laugh at him? Doesn't he Stephen want to lose face?
After stopping what he was doing, Stephen didn't ask his assistant Wang to go to Nick Fury.
After all......
The assistant Wang has been running around for a month, and his face is full of exhaustion.
He should have been given a good rest.
Touching the bruises on his face, Stephen's face was a little complicated......
I knew that I wouldn't have done it to that Levi's if I didn't die, but I couldn't beat people and didn't say it, I was beaten into a pig's head, and the other party didn't greet him on the bridge of his nose, which may have been very face-saving.
Otherwise, Stephen is fully convinced that the bridge of his nose will definitely break!
He relied on this nose to support the appearance of this big horse face.
In case the nose is knocked down...... It was a beautiful picture.
I can't imagine it.
Looking at the old-fashioned landline phone on the table next to him, Stephen couldn't remember how many years the phone hadn't been used, so it stands to reason that it might probably still work, right? He remembers that he had a postcard of Nick Fury, which should have been reachable if the other party hadn't changed their number.
Dig through Nick Fury's business card and look at the printed number.
Stephen pressed them one by one.
777—77777
This string of numbers...... Lucky enough, how afraid Nick Fury is of death!
Even the phone number has to be a lucky number.
And all of them are 77777...... This number should be worth a lot of money, although I don't know why Nick Fury, a serving official leader, would have so much money to buy a phone number, but Stephen will not pay attention to these, even if Nick Fury is corrupt, it is none of his business.
After all, the two are not enemies, and they are not working in the same system.
There's no need to know about all this nonsense.
Stephen is not the king of gossip, he is not the kind who likes to listen to gossip
Soon......
Someone was on the other end of the phone.
"Hello??"
Nick Fury's voice rang out in the microphone, and even the head himself didn't know who was calling, because the phone number was very unfamiliar.
In fact, he felt that the phone number was unfamiliar, which was a very normal thing.
Because of this call from the New York Temple.
It has been around since the time when the Ancient One was still around, until Stephen succeeded the Ancient One to the present day.
This phone was also not used.
If it doesn't break, it means that the phone is of good quality, even better than many electronic devices now.
It's all good, I don't know how many times!
The quality is hard enough!
Stephen cleared his throat and said in a solemn tone, "Is it Mr. Nick Fury from S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Hello...... I'm from the New York Temple! ”
New York......
Temple?!
This name seems to be a little familiar, and I seem to have heard it somewhere.
After pondering for a few seconds, Nick Fury's mind struck a flash of inspiration.
He finally remembered what the New York Temple was.
With a smile on his face, Nick Fury asked, "It's Mr. Stephen Strange, why are you free to call me?" ”
He had invited Stephen to join S.H.I.E.L.D.
After all, he was a powerful mage, completely the power of the mysterious side, and Nick Fury was now very interested in the power of the mysterious side.
But the ending...... Naturally, it was obvious that Stephen would definitely not agree.
He didn't want to join S.H.I.E.L.D. anything.
Didn't want to join the Avengers either.
Supreme Master ......
Longing for freedom ♂!
Stephen said in a deep voice: "My assistant went to Mexico, you should know that a large number of mutants in Mexico are missing, right?" We've found out who's behind it, and I think you'll be interested. ”
Nick Fury shrugged and smiled, "That's a mutant chore, I've contacted the X-Men and the Brotherhood, and they're going back to solving it themselves." ”
"No ......"
Stephen shook his head and said, "Hydra is also involved, and in addition to that, there is the Hand Clan...... The Hand and Hydra are in harmony. ”
Nick Fury's smile immediately froze, and his expression gradually became solemn.
Hydra again!!
Is this group of guys so ghostly, first Hydra gave S.H.I.E.L.D. a blow to the bottom of the kettle, and almost didn't scrap S.H.I.E.L.D., and then Hydra attacked him, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. director.
Then Hydra kidnapped the Avengers, and now Hydra......
Doing things again!
And it's also got together with the Hand Club, can't this stop for a while?
Fako!!
Originally, Nick Fury wanted to watch this big drama between mutants as a bystander, but now Stephen, Doctor Strange, told him that one of the masterminds behind the scenes was actually Hydra?!
In this case, S.H.I.E.L.D. ...... I have to get involved.
Because between S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra.
It's originally a rival relationship, and Hydra and the Hand cooperate.
This had to keep Nick Fury on the lookout.
Hydra must have some terrible conspiracy again, and S.H.I.E.L.D., as Hydra's number one enemy, once the Hydra conspiracy succeeds.
S.H.I.E.L.D. was definitely the first to bear the brunt and was definitely the first to be unlucky.
So Nick Fury had to be wary.
So he ......
S.H.I.E.L.D. had to be involved in this matter.
Because once it comes to the special organization of Hydra, S.H.I.E.L.D. has already had to take action, which makes Nick Fury feel very painful, and he thought it was just a mutant chore at first.
As a result, he was now notified that it actually had something to do with S.H.I.E.L.D.
It's uncomfortable!
Isn't this a bit too big of a change from a spectator to an actor acting?
It's so big that the braised egg head is a little caught off guard.
couldn't help but purse his thick lips, and after sorting out the thoughts in his heart, Nick Fury said seriously: "Mr. Stephen Strange, thank you for reminding me, otherwise I may still be kept in the dark now, and Hydra may not be able to react to any actions at that time." ”
Stephen shook his head and said, "I'm just reminding you, right...... If you want to go to Mexico to suit Hydra, I can go with you as well, because Hydra and the Hand want to summon a ...... Very powerful adversaries, my purpose is to stop them. ”
Lord?!
Summon?!
Why did the painting style suddenly become fantastical? All right...... The person who spoke to him was a mage.
The style of painting fantasy seems to be fine.
Nick Fury complained in his heart, but the expression on his face was still very solemn, and he couldn't help asking, "Summoning a demon?" Mr. Mage, isn't the demon in your mouth a creature of the earth? ”
Stephen replied, "It stands to reason that it shouldn't, it should be a creature from another world, and you can probably understand it as a creature from the multiverse." It may not be a living being, it may be a soul body, or it may be a dead thing. ”
“……”
The painting seemed to be getting more and more fantastical, and Nick Fury felt that his brain was a little insufficient.
Hydra is an organization that likes to engage in perverted scientific research.
Why did the painting style suddenly become so fantastical? Summoning the Adversary of the Multiverse?
Saying......
What does the multiverse mean?!
All right......
It doesn't matter what kind of diversity or less yuan it is, the important thing is that the threat of Hydra is very great, and no one knows what impact Hydra and Hand will cooperate and summon what demons will have on this world.
Nick Fury took a deep breath and asked Stephen on the other end of the phone, "Are you sure...... Is it possible to organize Hydra their machinations? ”
"No ......"
Stephen replied very honestly.
He really didn't know where the other party's lair was, and his assistant Wang had been surveying Mexico for more than a month before he knew a little bit of news.
Stephen didn't think he would get more news about the past.
So he's just talking.
The devil knows where the hydra is going to be summoned, the earth is so big, although he Stephen is a supreme mage, he is not a god!
He can travel through space though.
But he couldn't use his spiritual power to cover the entire earth to find people.
And even if you find it.
It doesn't have to be stopped.
One Hydra alone is enough to give people a headache, and the overall strength of Hydra is even above S.H.I.E.L.D., after all, more than ten years ago, S.H.I.E.L.D. was still a branch of Hydra (funny), and the director at that time was also a Hydra person.
Although Stephen is not afraid of Hydra, he will also be delayed by them.
That's troublesome.
And besides that Hydra, there's a resurrected Hand Clan!
It's even more troublesome.
Stephen continued: "It's because I don't have much confidence to stop them that I informed you of S.H.I.E.L.D., and I'm sure we'll have a good time working together in the future, right?" Mr. Nick Fury? ”
Nick Fury nodded and said, "Yes, we'll have a good time working together." ”
“……”
“……”
As the two sides seem to have a tacit understanding, they hang up, and Stephen, who is located in the New York Temple, is lost in thought, thinking about how to deal with Hydra and the Hand and stop them from summoning the Otherworldly Boss.
At the same time, he was also secretly thinking, between Levi and Dormammu.
What exactly was agreed.
This made him particularly curious and wary at the same time, but this thought could only be put aside for the time being, and the main thing now was the affairs of Mexico.
Stephen shook his head and smiled, "This should be my first time working with S.H.I.E.L.D., right?" I don't know if there will be anything disturbing, but I heard that there are many people in S.H.I.E.L.D., and they have a very strong desire to control. ”
The assistant next to him, Wang, said expressionlessly: "We are beyond the world. ”
Stephen nodded, "I understand this, so when S.H.I.E.L.D. wooed me before, I didn't agree with that Director Nick Fury." I'm worried that there will be an undercover Hydra agent in S.H.I.E.L.D., and as you know, that happened to S.H.I.E.L.D. before. ”
"So why work with them? Wouldn't it be better to work with mutants? ”
Assistant Wang asked curiously.
"Because I don't have Professor X's contact information, and I don't have Magneto's contact information, it's just unique...... It's Nick Fury's phone number. ”
Stephen replied with a stinging voice.
Assistant Wang: "......"
All right......
Mages like them who like to leave the door without leaving the door have basically no connections, let alone know any powerful mutants.
And recently, the X-Men have almost disappeared.
So want to find them.
It's not your average difficulty!
Even the mutant brotherhood, which has always liked to make trouble, is the same as the X-Men, for some reason, and has always kept a very low profile.
It's puzzling.
