Chapter 106: The Temptation of the Boiled Egg Man

When Lu Xiao was chasing the Winter Soldier before, he saw Fury being hit by air guns one after another at Rogers' house, if it weren't for the spoilers in the movie, no one would have thought that Fury would have survived in such a desperate situation.

Fury's method of playing dead not only deceived Pierce and other members of Hydra, but even his own people, including Black Widow and Captain America, were deceived to death.

By the time Pierce focused on chasing down Rogers and Romanoff, Fury, who was hiding in the shadows, was able to move more easily when no one was watching.

Fury, on the other side, didn't know anything about Lu Xiao's mental activities, and he suspected Lu Xiao's origin purely out of the intuition of an old agent.

Lu Xiao's identity is intertwined with light and dark.

On the surface, he is a technical nerd who takes orders at home, and when he revealed the second layer of hidden identity to the three Rogers, normal people usually don't continue to investigate out of the sense of accomplishment of solving the puzzle, only the black widow sensed that something was wrong from Lu Xiao's slight abnormality.

Rogers and Sam only thought of the second layer, Black Widow may have thought of the third and fourth layers, and Old Hidden Fury thought even further, he was already standing on the fifth layer to speculate about Lu Xiao's true identity under the matryoshka doll.

After finding Fury's hiding place, Alethea invokes the laptop's map search function and displays a picture of the target location on the computer screen.

After entering Washington, D.C., Lu Xiao made a visit to the surrounding area of the capital city, and he happened to have visited the dam shown by Altheia.

"Hehe~ Although I don't know who you are, but are you thinking too much, I just helped Captain Rogers out of personal wishes, and there is absolutely no malice towards them."

Perfunctory to deal with Fury's questioning, Lu Xiao used the suspension ring to open the portal to the destination, picked up the computer and stepped over.

"Don't play tricks with me!"

Fury's stern tone threatened and probed: "I've been an agent for decades, and you can't hide this little trick from me. ”

"Really?"

There was a sudden joking response from the gate of the shelter, and Fury, who was lying on the bed to recuperate, suddenly stood up on his hair.

"Click!"

The S.H.I.E.L.D. agents guarding around Fury nervously raised their guns and pointed them at Lu Xiao, who was standing at the door.

"Hey~ Don't get excited."

Lu Xiao closed the computer and raised his hands to show that he had no malicious intent.

"I just want to meet face-to-face so that you can further confirm my sincerity."

Fury, who couldn't move for the time being, lay on his back and ordered: "Ahem~ Agents, put down the gun, since the other party can cross a distance of several kilometers unnoticed, you can't stop him, let me have a good talk with him." ”

It was the first time for Lu Xiao to see this famous boiled egg man face to face, even if he was lying weak on the bed due to serious injuries, Furui's momentum did not decay much, and his iconic one-eyed eyes looked at Lu Xiao sharply, with a slight sudden look in his eyes.

"I know where you're from, Mystic."

Lu Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh? Interesting, as the head of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who holds the world's intelligence in his hands, it seems that your knowledge of Earth is not limited to the physical world. ”

"Hehe~ cough cough!"

Fury coughed weakly, looked at the roof of the temporary shelter in poor conditions, and said, "I used to have a friend who often showed me some magical powers that science can't explain. ”

"Thanks to her, I gradually got in touch with the mystical realm of the earth, and happened to meet a powerful mystic named the Ancient One who lives in seclusion in the Himalayas."

Now that Furui has said this, Lu Xiao no longer continues to pretend to be stupid.

"What a coincidence, the ancient one is my mentor."

After confirming the identity of the other party as the guardian of the earth's secret arts, Fury's original defensive mood relaxed a lot.

"Why did the Mystic suddenly enter the world? As far as I know, you have always lived in seclusion in the Himalayas, the holy land of Kama Taj, silently guarding the mysterious world of the earth. ”

"What prompted you, and the Supreme Mage behind you, to change their minds?"

Lu Xiao pulled a chair in front of Fury's hospital bed and sat down without seeing it: "You seem to have some misunderstanding about the mystic, we are not primitives who can only cast spells, the three temples established by Kama Taj in the mundane world have given us a lot of opportunities to contact modern society." ”

“…… Although it is true that there are some mystics who like to live a life of seclusion and purity. ”

The mystics of Kama Taj can be roughly divided into two categories according to their acceptance of modern civilization.

One is the "second generation of secrets" like Wang, who was born in a family of mystics since he was a child and has always received the education of traditional mystics.

This group of traditional occultists is less receptive to modern technology and most are not interested in the development of the secular world, and Daniel, who is now the Guardian of the London Temple, is a prime example.

On the other hand, there are modern people like Lu Xiao, Casillas, and Mordo, who are halfway monks.

Since they were ordinary people living in the modern information society before becoming occultists, they are no strangers to high-tech products, and they have always kept an eye on the development of the world.

Fury's understanding of Kama Taj and the Mystic is only a concept, it should be that the Ancient One had some superficial contact with him before, and deliberately let Fury know about the existence of the Mystic, so that after the mysterious side battles around the world, S.H.I.E.L.D. will deal with the aftermath of the endgame.

Fu Rui looked at Lu Xiao's expression a little solemnly: "The mystic master will actually take the initiative to enter the capital special zone...... Could it be that Pierce was involved in something related to spells in this incident? ”

"Hmm...... That's pretty much it. ”

Lu Xiao's mind turned, and he found a reasonable excuse for his solo action.

"Do you remember the cane that S.H.I.E.L.D. captured from Loki after the Battle of New York?"

Fury raised his eyebrows slightly, and his already dark face became even more ugly: "You mean that cane that can control people's hearts?" It's a pity that we've lost it a long time ago. ”

"Now that I think about it, it was Pierce who gave the order to recover it at the time, and the missing cane must have fallen into the hands of Hydra."

Lu Xiao's hint of stopping at the point gave Fury, an old agent with excellent logical thinking, room for imagination, and he quickly gave a logical and self-consistent explanation of Lu Xiao's intentions.

"In other words, you targeted the Hydra in order to reclaim that cane, and then help the captain pull out their power?"

Lu Xiao smiled noncommittally, and did not answer Fury's question directly: "Now you are willing to believe me, right?" I swear by the Supreme Mage that I will always stand with you in the battle to destroy the Hydra. ”

Fu Rui looked at Lu Xiao with sharp eyes and muttered for a while: "Okay, I believe you for the time being, the situation we are facing now is very serious, and it is time to employ people." ”

Lu Xiao patted the laptop on his hand and asked, "I've wasted too much time trying to talk to you, how are the captains and Sam doing?" ”

"Don't worry."

Fury struggled to half-sit up from the bed, "I've sent my best men to pick them up, and they should soon be able to reach the Vault and make peace with us." ”

Lu Xiao's heart suddenly understood, "Fury's most trusted subordinate, ace agent Maria Hill. ’
