Chapter 111: Changes in the Timeline
Hydra is a worldwide secret organization, as early as when the system released the last side mission, Lu Xiao guessed that there might be a follow-up after the mission was completed, and sure enough.
Hydra has many important members, but there are only a few who can be called leaders.
Red Skull - Died at the hands of Captain America at the end of World War II, and is suspected to be floating on the planet Vormir in soul form, serving as the guardian and guide of the soul gem.
Baron Zemo, the Zemo of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is not affiliated with Hydra, but is a mortal enemy of Hydra.
Dr. Anim Zola, who died of cancer after the end of World War II, retained his consciousness in the form of data before his death, and was wiped out by Pierce not long ago due to the exhaustion of its usefulness, and died completely.
In addition to these three people and the hive mentioned in the TV series universe, the only leader of Hydra is Baron Straker, who leads the Eastern European branch, and the stolen Loki cane is also in his hands.
Lu Xiao deliberately borrowed Rogers' hand to let the Winter Soldier go, precisely to locate the exact location of the Eastern European branch of Hydra.
Seeing Nick Fury burn everything related to his secret agent career, Lu Xiao said to Fury, who took off his blindfold and changed into sunglasses: "Our cooperation agreement is complete, it's almost time to fulfill your promise, right?" ”
Fury shrugged his shoulders with a relaxed face: "As you can see, I am completely retired, what more do you want from a retired old man who is far away from the center of right and wrong?" ”
The corners of Lu Xiao's mouth twitched: "In other words, you really plan to break your promise?" ”
Seeing Lu Xiao's darkened face, Fury waved his hand with a smile and said, "Don't get excited, it's just a joke." ”
Fury, who was light and light, walked to a big tree and sat down relaxed, took out a note from his trouser pocket and handed it to Lu Xiao: "This is Hill's private phone number, and I have entrusted her with carte blanche for the future." ”
"I don't know why you want to get help from the remnants of S.H.I.E.L.D., you need at least a guarantee that you will use my promise for the right path."
'Why would you know Agent Hill's private number?' It's scary to think about ......'
Lu Xiao took the note and glanced at it, wrote down the phone number in his mind, and drew it in the air casually? The runes set the note on fire.
"Wow~"
Fury pretended to be surprised and looked at the flame that burned out of thin air: "Is this magic?" It's amazing (great read). ”
Lu Xiao rolled his eyes: "Don't pretend, I don't believe you haven't seen a spell with a greater momentum, it's just a simple application of the Rune Rune." ”
Runes? Representing fire, warmth, and strength, depending on usage, Lu Xiao can use it for direct attacks or to strengthen himself.
Since he decided to regard the Rune Rune as his main spell school, Lu Xiao would practice the use of each rune as much as possible in his daily life if conditions permitted.
Half a year has passed since the Battle of the Triple Wing Tower, but the turmoil caused by the civil war in Washington, D.C., has not subsided so easily.
Fu Rui kept his promise and covered up Lu Xiao's identity a little, so that he was not directly exposed to annoyed government and military officials.
And as former employees of S.H.I.E.L.D., Captain America Steve Rogers and Black Widow Natasha Normanoff were not so lucky.
Black Widow's S.H.I.E.L.D. secrets spread to the Internet caused an uproar, and although the White House and Congress ordered the deletion and banning of relevant discussions on major social media, what has been exposed can not be covered up by covering up.
Not only the United States, but the whole world is very concerned about the classified intelligence exposed by S.H.I.E.L.D. and the truth of the Battle of the Three Curved Wings.
Although Normanov's revelations inevitably revealed information about her Soviet origins, the focus of public attention was not on this, but on the list of Hydra members among the top government officials.
Captain Rogers is a World War II hero with great prestige among the people, and the key government members led by the White House dare not do anything to him.
But Black Widow, the original agent of the enemy nation, didn't pass so well.
During the past six months, Romanoff has been questioned by many members of Congress and military executives, and some have even proposed that she be directly imprisoned, "reformed" and incorporated into the CIA, so that Black Widow can atone for the losses she caused to the country in the foreign espionage war.
As a member of the Avengers, Norman naturally couldn't agree to such a ridiculous request, and with the other Avengers, including Tony Stark, Black Widow finally escaped the annoyed government.
But the Avengers' absence from government jurisdiction also annoyed the White House and Congressional elites, and the president, in a fit of rage, ordered the drafting of a restrictive ordinance for the Avengers.
Of course, U.S. officials are not the only ones on Hydra's list, and in this round of reshuffle, countries around the world have been hit hard.
As a result, Baron Straker had no choice but to abandon the Hydra base in Skovia and secretly move his subordinates and research team to hide outside the city.
As Lu Xiao expected, the Winter Soldier who fled to Eastern Europe was discovered by the troops under Baron Straker, and with the brainwashing technology inherited from Hydra, he quickly took the Winter Soldier who had completed the "restart" for his own use.
Baron Straker didn't know that accepting this Trojan horse with hidden secrets would sooner or later bring him irreparable destruction.
……
At the end of his trip to Washington, D.C., Lu Xiao was sent to New York in a Quint stealth fighter piloted by Sharon Carter.
S.H.I.E.L.D. fell apart, and most of its agents were co-opted by the CIA, but there were also many who wanted to maintain a neutral stance that was not under the direct control of the government, including Sharon Carter.
At Nick Fury's last request before he retired, Tony Stark, a wealthy man who was not short of money, promised to pay the agents who did not want to join the CIA, and recruited them to join the Avengers.
These agents will later become the logistics staff of the Alliance, responsible for collecting intelligence from all over the world for the Avengers, so that the Avengers can travel around the world more efficiently to fight the supervillains.
"Falcon" Sam Wilson played a great role in the Battle of the Trigram Wing Mansion, and with the guarantee and recommendation of captains Steve Rogers and Tony Stark, the Avengers included Falcon Sam and War Machine James Rhodes in the inspection period as a reserve member of the Avengers for the time being.
After the Battle of the Three-Curved Wing Mansion, Lu Xiao and Fury quickly disappeared from everyone's sight, and only Maria Hill, a former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who also joined the Avengers, knew where they went.
Hill was tight-lipped and did not reveal Lu Xiao's whereabouts, and Rogers, who was eager to learn more information about the Winter Soldier from Lu Xiao, was very disappointed, so he could only entrust the Falcon who was in the investigation period to continue to search for the whereabouts of "Bucky".
After secretly returning to New York, Lu Xiao said goodbye to the netizen Sharon who had been sent all the way, disappeared in front of her, and returned to the New York Temple all the way back to meet Gu Yi, who happened to come to the city to search for Casillas's whereabouts.
"Casillas is also in New York?"
"At least not long ago."
Gu Yi's face was a little solemn and said: "Casillas and his fanatical followers are suspicious, and they have assigned a part of their men to lead me to London. ”
"While no one was in charge of Kama Taj, Casillas broke into the library himself, brutally killed the administrator, and took some of the pages of a forbidden book."
"Forbidden books?"
"Yes, the Book of Cagliostro, which records how to decipher the mysteries of time, and how to summon Dormammu and absorb the vast magic of the dark dimension."
Lu Xiao didn't move on the surface, but his heart suddenly tightened.
Is it already this time?' It's too fast. ’
The film does not mention the exact time when Casillas stole the book, but it is speculated that Casillas' approximate progress in studying the difficult pages of the forbidden book should be a few months before Strange came to learn the art in 2015-16.
It's only the end of 2014, and there is a certain deviation from the original time when the plot was triggered.
Gu Yi saw through Lu Xiao's doubts, and a mysterious smile appeared on her face: "I know what you're thinking, Casillas's action was about half a year earlier than the 'scheduled time', and he caught me off guard." ”
"But I think it's a good sign, and the timeline changes that prove that the changes you're bringing to the world are deepening, and that the future may no longer be static."
Seeing that Lu Xiao was going to explain something, Gu Yi raised his hand to stop him: "You don't have to explain, I have already roughly guessed your origin." ”
"Go ahead and do what you have to do, the time is not yet ripe, and I'll let you know as soon as Casillas actually starts attacking."
