"Hey! Hello, Annie! ”

"Really nice to be able to see you again! How are you doing, are you still happy going home? ”

While Anne, Coulson, and Melinda were still on their way to the seaside villa, Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., immediately contacted the three of them in the S.H.I.E.L.D. car through encrypted channels and special equipment.

"Oh, how are you! I'm glad to see you again, Uncle Black Carbon, One-Eyed Dragon......"

Anne, who had eaten too much, was now feeling a little sad, and she seemed to want to take a good nap.

Therefore, for the one-eyed dragon black charcoal head uncle who came out of the convenient holographic communication instrument carefully held by Aunt Melinda next to her, she didn't want to pay attention to it, anyway, she didn't know him very well, did she?

Besides, she had only been back in this world for less than two hours, and this black bald head had come to pay her respects, and Anne herself was not stupid, so she thought that there must be nothing good about the other party!

“……”

"Anne...... You can call me Uncle Director or Uncle Black or whatever, but, please, can you remove the other modifiers or adjectives next time?! ”

He, Nick Fury, is also the director of the famous S.H.I.E.L.D., but he also wants to save face!

That's why Nick Fury himself loves and hates this little girl, Annie!

You see! This little girl, she is not only one of the most important members of the Avengers under S.H.I.E.L.D., but also has helped S.H.I.E.L.D. a lot, plus the other party is strong and powerful, so Nick Fury really likes her a little. But, this little kid likes to give others nicknames at every turn, and he himself is one of those who suffer from it!

"You're so boring! All right...... Bald uncle~! ”

After tilting her head and looking at the director who seemed a little angry for a moment, Anne nodded reluctantly, dragging her long voice, and a little listlessly changed to what she thought was a more common title.

Like the previous nickname, how kind and natural?

Only if Anne herself looks at someone who has a more acceptable relationship, she will give the other party a nice nickname! And if it were an ordinary person, if she wanted to give the other party a nickname, she wouldn't necessarily pay attention to it!

"Okay......"

Touching his big, slick head, Nick Fury said he could barely accept it.

Although, this kind of bald guy title doesn't sound too good, but compared to the previous one, at least, it doesn't sound less shabby, doesn't it?

"That's right, Anne, I have a very important matter for you this time, can you be sure that there are no malicious people around to eavesdrop?"

Now Nick Fury is in a special secret room for the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., using a dedicated encrypted channel and a new contact tool for Cherita, which technically should be able to avoid being overheard by outsiders.

This matter is indeed quite urgent, otherwise, Nick Fury would not have hurriedly tried to contact the little girl after S.H.I.E.L.D. detected that the little girl appeared in that Central Park, and sent Melinda and Coulson to meet the counterparty in the shortest possible time.

"Eavesdropping?"

"There should be no outsiders eavesdropping......"

Anne saw Melinda next to her, then at Uncle Coulson, who was leisurely driving, and then nodded with certainty.

What is it that makes such a mystery come about?

So, Anne reluctantly raised her mind to hear what the black charcoal uncle was trying to say.

"This is it! Anne, they all broke down last year! ”

After hearing the little girl's affirmative reply, Nick Fury in the communicator quickly took out two rings inlaid with gems from his trouser pockets, although they looked the same style, but the other was additionally inlaid with another layer of different color ornaments, which did not look so much like a pair.

"Huh? I seem to remember them......"

And these two little things are the identification rings of the keyword detection camp made by Little Anne for Nick Fury, it will emit mental fluctuations with suggestive abilities in a small area, as long as it is within the range of action, someone is sure that they belong to the side of the hydra, then, the diamond-like gem on it will reflect a faint colorful light after receiving feedback.

Human beings receive information from the outside world, generally through sight or hearing, or touch, smell, etc., and then feedback to the brain after the transformation of body functions! However, mental fluctuations are different!

Because it acts directly on the human brain and does not require any other transformation, the detected person does not need to respond at all to do so in an instant! Therefore, these gadgets are especially effective for ordinary people who are mentally weak, or who have not specifically practiced Occlumency! Often, those people are tested without even knowing that their own brains have betrayed themselves.

"Annie, you never seem to have told me that they would automatically fail?!"

Nick Fury had always thought that these things were permanent!

He originally thought that he must treat this thing as a family heirloom and leave it for the next director of S.H.I.E.L.D. to prevent the resurgence of Hydra?

But where could he have thought that since last year, they have become two ordinary pieces of glass? As long as there is light, no matter who it is, it can refract colorful shimmers?

At the beginning, it scared Nick Fury so much, that thing would glow on anyone, it was really terrible! So, after a commotion of chickens and dogs, he was finally surprised to find that it seemed to be ...... The ring itself expires and no longer has a detection effect?!

Then, something even worse happened: in addition to the fact that the list of some of the Hydra members in the early stage can be confirmed, the later lists have become very unreliable!

It is precisely because of this that by now, he and Agent Hill have no idea at all: when did the list start to go wrong? And after their deliberation and careful trial, the two of them can only come up with an approximate expiration time, about a year ago?

But now, those hydras in S.H.I.E.L.D., they can only identify less than 20% of the members at most, and the remaining 80% of the important employees of S.H.I.E.L.D. who have not been screened are a little helpless.

"Of course!"

"It's just a temporary enchanted gadget, it's only valid for about a year, you can't expect it to be valid forever!"

Anne was stunned for a while, and then finally remembered that these two little things were indeed made by herself to play with Uncle Black Charcoal Director for the Kun plane.

After all, you get what you pay for, and in the eyes of little Anne at that time, that plane, as a toy, was only worth wasting her magic power to get a one-year magic item for the other party.

If it's a permanent enchanted item, then it needs a better carrier, a loop that automatically collects and restores energy, a permanent magic circle, etc., those things, but it's very troublesome, so she won't waste time and effort to make that kind of useless permanent enchanted item!

"Wait......"

"Uncle Bald, don't tell me that after all this time, you haven't even driven away those Hydra villains?!"

Anne now finally understands why this bald black uncle came to her in a hurry, it turns out that before the two rings fail, they have not completed the task of driving away the bad guys? How lazy are these people?

“……”

Nick Fury's lips trembled, and he looked at the little girl across the communication device with a disdainful face.

He swallowed hard, and the veins on his head were still bruised, until he realized that the little girl opposite didn't seem to be in his own hands, and it was not easy to mess with, that he finally resisted the urge to scold.

"Anne ......"

"Hydra's erosion of S.H.I.E.L.D. has reached the point where it is deeply rooted, we need to take it slowly, and we can only try to get rid of the other party little by little without causing too much backlash from the other party!"

Taking a deep breath, the director reluctantly explained.

"But who would have thought that last year, we were able to complete the early layout, and these two rings would be invalid? Don't you know, when we found out about this incident, we all disrupted our original foolproof plans! ”

Now another year has passed, and Nick Fury has all the other arrangements that are useless except for the list of Hydra members in his hand, which is still tightly clenched in his hand!

He doesn't have to think about it now to know that the New York branch, which was originally handled by Hill, has been successfully infiltrated by the members of Hydra again in the past year, under such frequent personnel transfers, right? ，

This is also the reason why he ordered Hill to be transferred back to HQ before, because their previous arrangement didn't have much effect! Moreover, those who were not members of Hydra in the first place, now who knows, whether they have been rebelled against by the enemy?

So, the current Director Nick Fury is really one head, two big!

Because a certain little kid didn't do things carefully, and the timeliness of the item was not clear to him at that time, he not only failed to get rid of the hydra, but also became scared all day long, for fear of revealing too many flaws and letting the other party see it and make a big disaster?

But fortunately, when they were anxious, this cute and hateful little girl, she came back......

"Oh...... Then you guys are really amazing! ”

With squinting eyes and pouting lips, Anne had already told the other party clearly with her expression and tone: she just looked down on him Nick Fury, and she looked down on him as a useless director of S.H.I.E.L.D.!

In Anne's own opinion, an excuse is an excuse, and no matter how good the reason is, it is an excuse!

Obviously, they have a year to prepare, and in the case of knowing themselves and their opponents, they can't drive away the enemy, but now, they still have the face to rely on their enchanted items? It's obvious that they themselves are not angry, so why should they blame themselves?

If she gave herself a year of full preparation, what could she not do by herself? In that case, let alone a S.H.I.E.L.D., even a hundred Earths, she can occupy it!

"We've done our best!"

"And we've made all the preparations! But how can you think of it...... It was just because the change was so sudden that we were caught off guard......"

Nick Fury's face was getting darker and darker, and he was powerless to argue, although his face was already dark.

"That's just a year to prepare! How could we possibly get all the arrangements done so quickly? Besides, it's not your kids' house to fight in a row! ”

So, after thinking that this little girl was a bit strong, Nick Fury also retorted a little in grief and indignation.

Anyway, no matter what, he will definitely not admit that he, the director, and Hill, the most capable agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., failed because they were not capable enough!

All kinds of factors show that this is not the reason for the two of them at all, but because the little kid didn't make things clear at the time.

If they had known that the two rings were only valid for one year, they would have used a more efficient way to get rid of the Hydra, instead of the safest and safest way to boil a frog in warm water, as originally planned!

"It's only been a year? So, bald uncle, do you know what I've done in the past two years? ”

Annico didn't bother with the black charcoal head's complaints, she just blinked her eyes wide, turned her head, looked at the black head in the holographic communication device and asked.

"Uh...... What have you done? ”

This nonchalant question made Director Nick Fury a little confused, and then asked subconsciously.

He didn't understand, why did this little girl bring up this matter in a leap of thought? What they're just talking about seems to be about those two rings, right? He was about to open his mouth just now, and let this little kid make some more for them, and a few more, preferably a longer aging appraisal ring!

"That's right! Annie, what have you been doing in the past two years? ”

At this time, Coulson, who was driving and silently listening to the conversation between his boss and Little Annie, couldn't help but interject, he was also more curious about this, and wanted to know very much, what troubles did this little girl have caused in the past two years? Perhaps, she ran back into their world for refuge?

"I've done a lot in the past two years!"

"First of all, I've been to a world of magic, which is London, England, another Earth! There, I was a distinguished professor at a magic school for a while, although it was a bit boring; Then, I also went to a magical world called Azeroth, and on a whim, I subdued the elemental life of the entire fire elemental world, and later, I also created a flame kingdom, which united several races of a continent, those high elves, dwarves, and humans of Lordaeron, and some Naga? Together, before I could get out of there, we drove away the evil undead and took over a large chunk of territory......"

Anne began to snap her little finger and tell one thing at a time, ignoring the three stunned listeners.

"When I traveled through the world for the third time, I also went to another medieval earth called the Caribbean, and rescued a few fake witches and made them real witches!"

"After staying for a while and leaving that Earth, I went to another universe where technology was super-advanced...... After that, it's even more fun! You may not know it, but it only took me a few months to completely conquer the entire Kprustar Sector and become their supreme leader! My Federation of Heroes encompasses the heart of the galaxy with countless planets! The number of humans, the spirits and the bugs under my rule will scare you to death! ”

"In the end, after I came out of the house, I went to a place called Middle-earth, and I got a United Kingdom of Alicia, defeated the orcs, occupied half of the planet, and before leaving, I became good friends with their supreme gods and got a lot of good things!"

When she had broken off the little fingers on her left hand, Anne stopped with a little satisfaction, and looked at the black charcoal head director in the communication apparatus with incredible eyes, whose face had obviously become not very good-looking, and said:

"Look! In the same amount of time, I have accomplished so many spicy things! And what about you? Can't even pack a tiny hydra? ”

There is no harm without comparison, and at the same time, when Nick Fury was still entangled in the members of Hydra within S.H.I.E.L.D. and was tossed and burned, little Anne herself would have become the boss of various worlds and ruled countless planets and powerful countries!

So, they still have the face to blame their enchanted items for not being time-sensitive enough? This is unreasonable! It's obvious that they themselves are too useless, and they still have the face to blame themselves?

“……”

“……”

Coulson and Melinda, who were driving, didn't speak, but just glanced at each other through the inner rearview mirror of the SUV, and began to sit upright, trying to suppress the smile in their hearts.

Just now, as long as a small percentage of what little Annie said was true, it was indeed enough to laugh at their S.H.I.E.L.D. black charcoal chief!

“……”

Nick Fury took a deep breath, he didn't believe all the nonsense of this little kid.

Therefore, he stared at Anne seriously for a while, and after not seeing more changes in the big cute eyes on the other party's face, he barely believed it, but even so, it was enough for him to feel frightened.

"Annie, you know, we are all ordinary people, but we don't have your kind of magical magic!"

Feeling that he couldn't make a good excuse, Nick Fury could only blame the other party's magical magic.

After all, whether it is himself, or Hill or Coulson, in S.H.I.E.L.D., those who can be trusted and assigned tasks by him, the director, are just ordinary agents, and where can there be such a powerful means as strange people as the other party to mess around with impunity?

When they do things, they often need to take their time step by step, and they also have to consider the gains and losses and impacts of some things, etc.!

"Don't you still have that big green guy and a hammer-wielding monster, and that flying tin monster? They didn't come to help you? ”

If you want to deal with that hydra, Anne thinks that the big green guy should be about the same, right? Anyway, he is invulnerable, infinitely powerful, and very durable, and after a person transforms, he will rush up, even if it is a hundred hydra organizations, it is estimated that it will not be enough for him to play!

"They ......"

"They'll leave it at that, Annie, we need your help! Just tell me whether you can help or not! ”

When it comes to those members of the Avengers, Nick Fury is on fire!

Let's just talk about that Hulk Bruce Banner, this bastard is still so unreliable after turning into the Hulk.

If there is only an enemy on the battlefield, then it is not wrong to throw him in! However, if he needs to cooperate with the friendly army to clear out the enemy army, it is likely that the number of friendly soldiers will be as many as the enemy?!

So, as a last resort, Nick Fury doesn't want to use him! At the very least, before there is a way to effectively control him, try not to call the other party, let him stay in the newly opened clinic honestly, and slowly cultivate the so-called method of controlling anger!

And another important member, the thunder god Thor, that girl has already run back to the Asgard God Domain, and if you want to summon him, it is basically impossible! No matter what, they S.H.I.E.L.D. have not yet developed a direct means of interstellar communication.

Captain America is too ostentatious and too well-known, everyone can recognize him as soon as he appears! If Nick Fury doesn't want to cause the Hydra members to blow up en masse, it's best not to activate him at the last minute.

As for that playboy Iron Man, Tony Stark, that's not to mention......

No matter what, he is also a billionaire, the chairman of Stark Industries, the son of a S.H.I.E.L.D. veteran, at least a few million dollars per minute, if it wasn't for a particularly fatal situation, he Nick Fury really wouldn't be touched!

And the remaining Hawkeye and Black Widow Natasha are too weak in combat power and can only be used as top soldiers, and they do not have deterrent capabilities, so they don't think about it much for the time being.

So, after thinking about it, if he didn't want to turn against Hydra and bring down the entire S.H.I.E.L.D., all he could count on was this little girl......

"Okay...... I'll remember to make a few more of those rings for you another day, if I have time......"

Anne, who didn't want to argue with this black charcoal uncle anymore, could only sigh and say with half-drooping eyes.

Anyway, these are just small things, since they need them, how can they get them a few another day? If these pig teammates don't do their best, she will feel very distressed herself.

"Thank you so much!"

"By the way, Annie, that villa by the sea has been prepared for you! Don't worry, in the past two years, I have never let outsiders live in it, from now on, it will be your home on our earth, and you can come back at any time when you are tired of playing outside. ”

After getting a satisfactory answer, Nick Fury's black face finally showed a big smile, and his face wrinkled with laughter.

Just a house, in exchange for a strong reinforcement, this deal is very reliable!

Moreover, S.H.I.E.L.D. has another plan in the future, with the relationship between Coulson and Melinda and each other, maybe when the time comes, the little girl can still help a little? In that case, he would be able to save some money and concentrate on dealing with Hydra!

"Goodbye! Uncle Black Charcoal, I'm going to get sleepy first......"

With that, Anne stretched out her little foot and stepped on the switch of the secret communication device of S.H.I.E.L.D., and then lay down in the chair, then pulled over a blanket and lay down comfortably on the seat.

The burger was too much to eat, and she needed to sleep to digest it.

"Annie, your seatbelt ......"

Seeing the little girl sleeping in the back seat like this, Melinda felt a little worried, after all, she was in a high-speed car now, and it was not good if she accidentally bumped into it. So she leaned over and struggled over how to tie the little girl.

"Alright, Melinda!"

"I bet with you, if there is a real car accident, even if we both die, she won't be able to do anything!"

Seeing that Melinda seemed to be about to put the little girl on her seat belt, Coulson, who was driving, laughed and joked to her partner.

“……”

————

"Agent Ward! Excuse me.. What does L.D. stand for? ”

At S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, Maria Hill, a Level 9 agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., was interrogating a handsome young man in a suit and leather shoes sitting on the other side of a long table in a separate office with a large eagle insignia.

The other party's full name is Grant Ward, and he is currently a sixth-level agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., with first-class professional skills, but the team's coordination ability is poor.

"Of course, its full name is: Territorial Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau, I'm very sure about that!"

As a Level 6 S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, it's impossible for Ward not to understand this! It's just that he was a little puzzled, and he didn't understand why Hill, a ninth-level boss of S.H.I.E.L.D., would ask himself such a question? However, after thinking about it, he still answered honestly.

"So, I ask you: what does it mean to you?"

Hill was still expressionless, asking as if it were a matter of routine.

It's just that there is a trace of inexplicable look in the depths of her eyes, as if she is faintly disgusted with the Ward in front of her? But is she hiding her true thoughts well, or is she used to it?

"Meaning, someone can spell the initials of this department of ours as 'S.H.I.E.L.D.'?"

Ward laughed and said casually.

However, when she saw that Agent Hill on the other side of the table did not give himself face at all, and still had the same expression, as if he was very dissatisfied with his answer, he reluctantly continued to say in textbook terms:

"Well, that means: we are the link between this world and the supernatural world, and we need to protect people from news that they are not ready to hear or be exposed to! When they don't have everything ready, we need to keep them safe! ”

"For example...... This one! ”

With that, Ward took out a small bag directly from the pocket of his suit, and then pulled out a gadget from it.

"This is actually a Cherita-like neural linkage device! Obviously, it was exiled during the Great War of New York! I found it by accident when I was in Paris! ”

After showing it, he didn't mind putting it on the long table and shoved it hard in front of Agent Ciel's Rank 9.

This thing, it's not in the mission!

Originally, he could have gotten this thing to himself, but two years ago, after the Battle of New York, countless high-tech weapons and devices of the Chiritas began to wander out, and the price of the black market has remained high, and he will definitely make a lot of money by selling it!

But now, Ward has decided to take it out as his own vote? Because, he already felt, and then, just today, it seemed that something good was going to happen to him.

"And what we S.H.I.E.L.D. want to do is this kind of thing, find them before the bad guys!"

Ward had vaguely guessed that the other party had transferred him back from Paris and had personally met with him, so there must be something important that he needed to participate in, but he was not very reassured, so he wanted to have an interview? Therefore, he felt that it would be more appropriate for this thing to be handed over at this time!

As for whether the other party will pursue his private affairs, Ward doesn't care! After all, when the water is clear, there are no fish, and these bigwigs will not be unaware of this!

"Do you know who Winchard is going to sell these things to?"

Ciel was noncommittal, just picked it up and waved to the wall, handing it over to a special box carried by an agent.

"I'm more interested in how the Rising Tide found out about it!"

"Aren't they just a bunch of hackers? When did they all become interested in these things? And take the risk of giving us the news, is it because the world has become a better place? A group of hackers are not greedy for money, but want to do good? ”

Ward looked at the female agent who had re-stood opposite him, this ninth-level being, and asked rhetorically.

It is said that this Hill, in addition to her good ability, is also deeply favored by the one-eyed dragon Black Charcoal Head?

So, to reach this level so quickly? Think about himself, the credit and field work are not small, right? But now, it's still just a small sixth-level agent.

"Change? The world, it's always changing! ”

"You also know that not long ago, many people thought that the most incredible thing in the world was just a billionaire wearing a sassy alloy armor and flying all over the sky to be in the limelight!"

Thinking back to that playboy Tony, Hill also felt a little headache, the other party was too high-profile, for fear that the whole world would not know that he was Iron Man.

It's just that what he did was not wrong! In this way, he can both protect himself from the prying eyes of some and add a little bit of contribution to a world that is beginning to become more and more chaotic.

"And now? Just two years ago, the army of the Chiritas and the evil god Loki who invaded New York were so openly defeated by a super soldier from forty years ago, and one or two gods......"

Speaking of this, Hill suddenly remembered that Coulson had been urgently ordered to go to New York. Originally, today's so-called interview, after he finished talking, he should have to ask Coulson to come forward and discuss the next things with this Ward.

However, due to some special circumstances, Coulson had to accept another mission to meet a little girl who suddenly appeared! It was the one who single-handedly defeated the evil god Loki and the entire Chirita army, and saved the terrifying existence of New York, the little girl named Annie, who was also called the Goddess of Fire by the citizens of New York, she is back!

Therefore, whether it was to appease the other party, or to control the other party in the hands of his own side and prevent outsiders from contacting him at will, Director Nick Fury sent Coulson over as soon as possible.

Now that the time is calculated, Coulson and they probably have already successfully picked up the little girl, right?

"Wait, if I heard me right, you were talking about God?"

"I don't think that little mutant girl who plays with flames, or that Thor, can be called a god......"

In Ward's heart, the so-called god will always be the one that their hydra believes in!

Chop off one head and grow two more!

The god that their hydra acknowledges will always be the one who has been exiled to a distant alien planet! This is also the ultimate purpose of the 'Far Star Project' that they Hydra created and chased!

"Nope! In a sense, they really are! It's just that you don't know enough about that little girl and Thor! ”

Moreover, all indications have shown that that little girl should be even stronger than that Thor, the god of thunder! So, since Thor is a god, then that little girl should be too.

Although that being said, in the eyes of high-level S.H.I.E.L.D. officials like Hill or Director Nick Fury, the so-called gods are just some kind of high-level existence, and it doesn't mean that they have to worship each other or enjoy other unreasonable treatment.

"Well, then can I ask, what is the matter with you calling me back from Paris in such a hurry?"

Ward didn't want to discuss too much about those false gods, in the eyes of the members of Hydra, except for what they believed, the others were all false gods! So, he didn't want to talk about it, so he asked straight to the point about what he was most concerned about now.

"Here's the thing, S.H.I.E.L.D. now has a plan that needs your involvement!"

"In the meantime, I'm here to congratulate you, Agent Ward! From now on, thanks to your outstanding contributions, you have officially been promoted from level 6 to level 7! ”

Now, in fact, not only does this Ward not want to talk here, but even Hill has long been tired of continuing to make false promises to this guy who can already be determined to be a member of Hydra.

Hill also probably knew what Director Nick Fury was thinking, and the reason why he temporarily decided to stuff this Hydra member into Coulson's special operations team was just to see if he could use the little girl's hand to deal with Hydra, right?

However, judging from the face of the previous director, when he went to contact the little girl, the process must not have been very good, right? That strange little girl, I don't know if it gave the director any embarrassment that she couldn't get down the stairs?

"Plans? What exactly is the plan?! ”

Ward frowned, not understanding what the so-called plan meant, he had not received relevant information, and no one had informed him in advance.

In this way, it must be another small action made by Nick Fury's old fox, just like the Avengers that the other party cooked raw rice and cooked rice, crossed the World Security Council and forcibly made it?

"Come with me, I need to show you a little bit first, and then, you can bring someone to Coulson tomorrow and they ......"

Next, Hill was going to take the new Seventh-level Agent Walter to see some new secret videos that the Rising Tide had discovered and sent to S.H.I.E.L.D. first.

Originally, this job should have been done by Coulson, but now that the other party is in New York, she can only handle it with Hill! When the introduction is over, at this time tomorrow, I will let the newly formed action team go to New York to pick up Coulson and Melinda, and then Coulson will handle the specific things very well.
