More than an hour later, Mr. Zhang, who had left the café, followed Mr. Dugan to a six-story office building near the New York City Hall.

Walking into the old Dugan's office, Zhang Taibai looked at him with an expression of 'you are definitely kidding me' and asked, "You are working here?" ”

You don't have to ask to know that this office building is at least a few decades old, and it has not been renovated much, so it should be a relatively cheap office space. Most of the people who will rent this kind of office building to work are small companies that are not very profitable.

But what is the identity of Old Dugan?

The ninth-level agent of 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' is already a high-level figure who can really decide the direction of the behemoth of 'S.H.I.E.L.D.', and he works in this kind of place? It's as ridiculous as seeing the directors of a big conglomerate like Microsoft or Apple living in low-rent housing every day.

What's more, 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' is not comparable to Microsoft and Apple, although it does not belong to any country, it is an out-and-out violent institution, and even more powerful than the vast majority of countries.

There is no need for such a high-level organization to be so tight, right?

Moreover, 'S.H.I.E.L.D.) itself has its headquarters and many branches, so can't it find a place where it can be used by Level 9 agents?

This made Zhang Taibai a little suspicious of the identity of Lao Dugan.

"Is it weird to work here?" After Old Dugan walked in, he closed the door casually, and then said with a smile, "If you know enough about 'S.H.I.E.L.D.', you will know that among the ninth-level agents, except for Hill, who serves as Director Fury's deputy, the rest of the people rarely appear in the sight of most of the members, and even the location of each person is only clear to Fury." ”

After a little recollection, Zhang Taibai realized that the truth seemed to be exactly what Old Dugan said, and couldn't help asking, "Why is this?" ”

"It's simple, just in case." Old Dugan shrugged and said, "The truth of not putting all your eggs in one basket should not be difficult to understand...... An institution like 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' has countless crises to deal with every year, and there are countless enemies that it has set up, so it is inevitable that there will be some frenzied enemies who will take bloody revenge on 'S.H.I.E.L.D.'. ”

"Although 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' has a very complete defense system, its enemies are not vegetarians, and some even have powerful weapons from other worlds or aliens, even if they break through the defense system of 'S.H.I.E.L.D.'. If these ninth-level agents also stay at the headquarters for a long time like Director Fury, the biggest possibility is that someone will be serving a pot. ”

"But if we were scattered all over the world, the situation would be completely different, even if there was a real problem at the headquarters, we, the ninth-level, would be able to respond quickly and not paralyze this huge organization." Old Dugan explained with a smile.

"I have to say, this is indeed a wise act." Zhang Taibai praised after listening.

"By the way, to correct a little bit, I'm not as bad as you think here." Old Duggan took off his coat and hat, and smiled as he walked to the bookcase by the wall.

When he walked to the bookcase, he pressed a hand into the second floor of the bookcase.

Ding Dong –

After a soft sound, the bookcase suddenly moved to the side.

"There's still a secret room?" Zhang Taibai was slightly surprised.

"Come in." Old Dugan was the first to step in.

Zhang Taibai also followed.

After stepping in through the door behind the bookcase, Zhang Taibai appeared in front of an office that highlighted high-tech everywhere, which was completely different from the painting style of the room just now.

When the two of them walked in, the bookcase behind them closed again.

"Ellie, a guest is coming, take out my treasured wine." Old Duggan walked to his desk as if he were talking to the air.

"Yes, sir." A woman's sweet voice came from above the roof.

"Is artificial intelligence ......," Zhang Taibai speculated in his heart.

"Sit down, Zhang, now we can finally have a good chat." Old Dugan sat on his boss's chair, leaned back in the chair and said to Zhang Taibai easily.

Zhang Taibai was not polite, and sat opposite him, "It should be more appropriate for you to answer for me...... After all, you're already well aware of my situation, aren't you? ”

"That's right, whatever you want to ask, say it."

"A few questions, first, what kind of organization is the 'Senate', second, why do you target me, third, why do you reveal your details to me so easily, and fourth, ......"

"Wait, wait, get here first, and I won't even remember what you said." Old Dugan hurriedly raised his hand to stop Zhang Taibai, "I'll answer your questions first, and after you finish listening, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask again." ”

"It's fine." Zhang Taibai has no opinion.

"The establishment of the 'Senate Church' can be traced back to more than 2,000 BC, but it was not originally called this name, it also has another name - 'Holy Shield Brotherhood'!"

"'Aegis Brotherhood'?" Zhang Taibai was taken aback.

"Huh? Have you heard of it? Old Dugan saw Zhang Taibai's strange appearance.

"I've heard rumors about this organization, but isn't it rumored that the 'Aegis Brotherhood' has split? The current 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' and the former 'Hydra' are said to have split from the 'Aegis Brotherhood', so how did they conjure up a 'Council of Elders'? Zhang Taibai said strangely.

He really didn't know what the 'Senate was', but he knew the 'Brotherhood of the Holy Shield'.

As the elder Duggan said, the origin of the 'Brotherhood of the Aegis' is too old to date back to 2,600 B.C., and has been passed down to the present day.

Legend has it that during the ancient Egyptian period, an alien race invaded the earth, and as the designer of the pyramids, Imhetep stepped forward and led other humans to repel the alien race and save mankind!

And his signature weapon is also called the 'Holy Shield' by those who revere him!

Later, some human elites formed the 'Brotherhood of the Aegis', hoping to save the world when humanity encountered an invincible crisis like Imhetep did, and honored Imhetep as the 'First Person of the Aegis' and worshipped him for eternity.

This is the origin of the 'Brotherhood of the Aegis'.

In the long time that followed, the 'Brotherhood of the Aegis' grew in size, absorbing human elites from all regions around the world, including but not limited to the powerful 'Extraordinary', as well as some genius scientists, and so on.

There are many famous people in history who were members of the 'Brotherhood of the Aegis'.

PS: The setting of the 'Senate' is semi-original, please don't take any zodiac signs I wrote wrong, Marvel's setting has many versions, and they contradict each other...... For example, Nick Fury's version, there are more than N, and I will choose my favorite version to write.
