Chapter 103: Immortal Ambition
Outside the door of Pierce's office, Coulson shot the last Hydra who resisted stubbornly, and spat at the corpse: "Sir, Pierce is inside." ”
"I can see it."
Nick Fury's expression was fierce, his body was covered in blood, but his one-eyed eyes were shining: "Coulson, take your people immediately and take control of the S.H.I.E.L.D. building, I don't want to see an accident." ”
"Yes, sir." Coulson is colored.
"Ciel, let's go in and see Pierce off for the last time." Nick looked at Maria Hill, who had just arrived.
Hill opened his mouth and sighed, "Nick, you should have consulted with me beforehand. ”
"There's no time." Nick walked in.
Pierce collapsed on the couch, he was shot in the abdomen, blood staining the lower half of his body, his face was like gold paper, and his breathing was extremely heavy.
"You win, Nick."
Pierce moved, trying to sit up but couldn't.
Nick walked over and calmly helped Pierce up and asked him to sit up straight against the couch: "Yes, I won, you lost." ”
"You won me, but you lost S.H.I.E.L.D." Pierce showed a sneer: "I'm the Security Council's security adviser, the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick, you can't kill me." ”
"I can."
Nick sat down across from Pierce and gently placed the large pistol in his hand on the coffee table, "Because you're a hydra." ”
Pierce's eyes widened, "I'm not." ”
"You are." Nick said: "In this situation, what else do you have to hide?" Pierce? One of the heads of Hydra and the leader of S.H.I.E.L.D. Hydra. ”
Pierce glared at Nick for a long time and smiled softly, "When did you find out?" When did your suspicions begin? I think I'm doing a good job. ”
"I don't want people to know unless I do it, Pierce, since the incident of St. Edward's Treasure Land, I have detected a huge hidden danger within S.H.I.E.L.D." Nick said lightly: "But I never thought that the source of the hidden danger turned out to be you, my good boss, Your Excellency Pierce." ”
He said to himself: "When Mr. Chang Wei told me that you were the leader of the Hydra, do you know how surprised I was? You're my old boss, born and died for S.H.I.E.L.D. for decades, you can't be Hydra, but my subconscious tells me that you are. You know, just by coming to a conclusion, we can work backwards. I'm sure you're the leader of Hydra, so it's clear that many of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s behaviors over the years that seem reasonable, but are actually unreasonable, are at a glance. ”
"Chang Wei?!" Pierce was dumbfounded.
Nick ignored him and continued to talk to himself: "The purpose of S.H.I.E.L.D. is to protect the earth and maintain the stability of the world, which is the work of my life, and I can't let it degenerate into a tool of Hydra." So I set up a bureau. ”
"The incident at St. Edward's Treasure Land alerted me, but although I felt the crisis, I was unable to find out anything. But I accidentally found a hidden scientific research project about you. ”
"The Longevity Project." Pierce Road.
"I know you're old, and I know that your power jade is very heavy. Many great people in history will be like this when they are old, they can't let go of power and want to live longer, so I don't think there's anything wrong with it. And the Immortal Project is closely related to the Super Soldier Serum Program, so I didn't suspect anything. ”
"But when I knew that you were Hydra, I suddenly realized when I contacted the several bloody cases about Chang's Farm in the Treasure Land Incident."
"What did you realize?" Pierce scoffed: "The first bloody night on the farm was caused by that MI6 slut, my people thought she got some useful information and was going to capture her to ask for clarification, but I didn't expect Natasha's slut to get involved." That night, I suffered a terrible loss, and the Winter Soldier and two other transcendents died in pieces. Of course, it's nothing, for me, they're all tools, and if they are of any use, they're dead. ”
Nick said, "The first bloody night on the farm was an accident. But the second was a planned and organized act, including a third ambush on the deserted beach outside the farm. Pierce, you ask me what I realized, and I tell you, what I realized was your madness. You're already crazy. ”
"Am I crazy?" Pierce laughed and coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood with a smile: "Do you think I'll be like you, injecting defective products to prolong my life?" Absurd. Who am I? The leader of Hydra, one of the most powerful people in the world. The immortality I want is a god-like immortality, not your lingering life. You're right, the subsequent attacks were planned and organized, how could a small place like St. Edward's where birds don't poop have a treasure of that kind of super-fine American ginseng? After the death of the Winter Soldier and the others, I became keenly aware that the man who killed them must have something to do with it. ”
He looked at Nick, "That's the Christmas Ghost, right?" Haha, I'm not wrong, it's the Christmas ghost that's wrong. If it weren't for you, Nick, and if you hadn't started to look at yourself, I'd have continued until I catch him! ”
"Yes, you will." Nick said: "I learned that you are Hydra, I dug up the longevity plan again and checked it, only to know that the core of the plan is the super American ginseng that St. Edward flowed out. I've read your information, American ginseng has a longevity effect, and there are no sequelae. ”
"So you set up this game?" Pierce said, "Tell me, who the hell is the Christmas Ghost?" Isn't that the farmer? ”
Nick said, "He's the ghost of Christmas." ”
Pierce took a light breath and coughed, "So you put out the news about the Christmas Ghost?!" ”
"That's right."
Pierce's expression was extremely gloomy: "Okay, very." Nick, you're blue. ”
"I know that you are crazy about immortality, and before and after the incident of St. Edward's Treasure Land, I threw out the Christmas ghost to have an orderly cultivation method, which can make people cultivate into gods. I'm sure you'll take the bait. You've taken the bait. ”
Pierce had completely calmed down at this point: "yes, I took the bait. I'm sure that the American ginseng is from the hands of the Christmas Ghost, so the Christmas Ghost has a way to become a god, and I believe it. You know, there are many legends about this in the Eastern Celestial Empire, and I don't think they are all legends. ”
After a pause, he took a breath and said, "Because you put the news out and everyone knew, I had to make a desperate bet." You know what, I'm dying, I don't have time. My body can't even withstand the defective products you injected, but I don't want to die, I want to live, I can only pin my hopes on the Christmas ghost. ”
"I know." Nick said lightly: "I've seen your case, Pierce, you have a maximum of three years to live." That's why my bureau can be laid out smoothly. ”
