Chapter 026: Invitation

"I just had dinner with a friend, and I happened to talk about it, and that friend of mine is a police officer from the 'Serious Crime Unit'." Zhang Taibai did not shy away from it, and said directly.

"Do the police already have a clue?" Matt straightened up and immediately asked.

"It used to be, but now it's gone." Zhang Taibai said.

"Huh? What the situation. ”

"The police got a piece of information and found a suspect who might be involved in the terrorist attacks, but when they rounded up, they were able to escape...... Moreover, in the process of escaping, the man also wounded more than a dozen police officers who came to round him up, two of whom were too badly injured to survive. Zhang Taibai repeated what Eighth Senior Brother Rex said.

"'The Transcendent'?" Matt immediately realized the crux of the matter.

"Probably yes, my friend's strength is also very strong, even if it is you, if you fight him head-on, you may not be able to win, and you are still injured by that person." Zhang Taibai said.

"Well, it seems that this matter is not simple." Matt thought for a moment.

He did not doubt Zhang Taibai's statement, because Zhang Taibai did not need to deliberately exaggerate the facts to be alarmist.

"However, the New York Police Department has also realized that this matter is not simple, so another department has taken over this matter...... Zhang Taibai said.

"Is 'S.H.I.E.L.D.) really intervening, no wonder." Matt looked relieved.

"Why, you already guessed that 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' would intervene?" Zhang Taibai asked in surprise.

"After I decided to pursue the matter, I called a friend to find some clues with the help of her intelligence network, but she told me not to meddle in the matter...... Well, she's someone from 'S.H.I.E.L.D.'. Matt explained.

Friend? She?

Thinking of some gossip about the old friend in front of him, Zhang Taibai immediately guessed who the old friend he was looking for was.

However, he didn't say it himself, and Zhang Taibai didn't plan to pierce this layer of window paper, but said, "She asked you not to interfere, then there must be her reasons, why do you have to do it?" And, judging by what my friend described, I'm afraid it's beyond your means. ”

"Besides, since 'S.H.I.E.L.D.) has already intervened, it will definitely not let things continue to escalate, I think you should listen to her advice and stop it."

Matt shook his head and said, "This matter is far more egregious than ordinary crimes, no matter what, we must stop the people behind it as soon as possible...... Moreover, although the power of 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' is huge, its high-end combat power is actually very limited, and it is far from being as exaggerated as you think. ”

"Very limited? Not really. Zhang Taibai was a little curious why Matt said this, "You also saw the earth-shattering battle a year ago, and the combat effectiveness of those Avengers is not comparable to that of ordinary 'transcendents', isn't that enough?" ”

"Then it's up to S.H.I.E.L.D. to command them." "As far as I know, after the Battle of New York, the Avengers were separated. ”

"With the exception of Iron Man Tony Stark, who settled in New York, the rest of them have either been on missions overseas for a long time or have difficulty pinpointing their whereabouts. It is also very difficult for S.H.I.E.L.D. to mobilize them, especially those with the highest combat effectiveness, and it is impossible for S.H.I.E.L.D. to directly mobilize them to track down such an incident where they don't even know who the enemy is. ”

"So, the Avengers and 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' are not of the same mind?" Zhang Taibai asked curiously.

"The two of them are actually more of a cooperative relationship, although the 'Avengers' were led by 'S.H.I.E.L.D.'s.' But just because of this, you want them to be completely under the orders of 'S.H.I.E.L.D.', do you think it's possible? Moreover, don't talk about them, even you and I, if we are really willing to accept the management of 'S.H.I.E.L.D.'...... why hide in the dark," Matt said calmly.

"That's the same thing." Zhang Taibai nodded, after Matt said this, his understanding of the relationship between 'S.H.I.E.L.D.) and the Avengers became clearer.

Moreover, he knows Matt's character well.

Matt won't talk nonsense if he doesn't have a certain certainty, just like Matt came here directly to ask him if it was him that day, it's definitely not as simple as random guessing.

Considering that the one Matt mentioned is also one of the Avengers, it is not difficult to understand why he is so familiar with the relationship between the Avengers and 'S.H.I.E.L.D.'.

"So you're coming to me this time?" Zhang Taibai pondered for a moment and asked.

"I'd like to ask you to join me in investigating this." Matt finally cut to the chase and said, "Before I came, I actually had a hunch that it would be difficult for me to find out about this matter alone, especially after listening to what you just said, which further verified my previous hunch...... I alone am not enough to solve this matter. ”

"So, I want you to help me." Matt said sincerely, "It's a deep thing, but you're the only friend I can find right now who has enough strength to help me." ”

"Are you determined to find out about this?" Zhang Taibai asked.

"Not bad." Matthew nodded, "Whether you want to help me or not, I'll get to the bottom of it...... I know I'm asking for something a bit excessive, so you don't have to force it, and even if you're not willing to wade into this troubled water, I won't blame you. ”

After finishing speaking, Matt quietly waited for Zhang Taibai's answer.

"It's not impossible to help you, but you have to promise me one condition." Zhang Taibai thought about it and said.

"What conditions, you say."

"If we find that we can't do anything, we must immediately stop the investigation, and you are not allowed to do it yourself, okay?"

"I promise you, I won't do it!" Matt decisively agreed.

"Okay, then I'll go crazy with you this time!" Zhang Taibai said.

"Thank you, Shiro!" Matt was a little moved.

Although Matt is sensitive to perception, his eyes can't see things after all, otherwise he will find that although Zhang Taibai's tone is very calm, his expression is eager to try.

What Matt didn't know was that even without his invitation, Zhang Taibai had plans to explore the situation by himself, because he wanted to take this opportunity to test the results of his painstaking practice in the past six months.

Just like when he first mastered the 'Taibai Flying Sword Technique', he also thought about verifying the effect.

Matt's invitation was actually exactly what he wanted.

"So where should we start investigating, and when?" Zhang Taibai asked.

"We can start now, I have a clue so far, we can go over and find out now." Matt stood up and said.

"Ho, you bastard, I'll promise you!"

"I have faith in our friendship." Matt smiled.

"Don't make a fuss here!" Zhang Taibai shook his head and scolded with a smile, "Okay, you wait for me for a few minutes, I'll change my body and let's set off again-"
