Right in the timeline of the world, in all of us. Or in other words, except for the ancient one, when he didn't know it, when he was taken a little away by the hustle and bustle, the sky outside gradually brightened.

When the first rays of light appeared over New York, the dark area of Hell's Kitchen, full of sin, suddenly became quiet, as if yesterday's sins had never happened.

But the people who live here know that sin is not gone, it is hidden.

When the darkness rises again, they return.

However, compared to the dire Hell's Kitchen, the often destroyed New York, although it is also living in dire straits, is in a better situation than Hell's Kitchen after all.

Bright sunlight shines on the clean and tidy ground, surrounded by pitch yellow rentals, and the old city atmosphere and modern simplicity and convenience are intertwined to create a unique charm.

Just being in it is very pleasant.

But.. Nick Fury couldn't be happier.

Facing the huge floor-to-ceiling window, he stared out of the window with the remaining one-eyed, motionless and contemplative, he bathed in the sun, like a god with a golden helmet, everything. In his grasp, the sunlight made his thoughts clearer and darker.

Only Phil Coulson, who was familiar with his character, sighed secretly, the sir's playful and playful habit of pretending to be an atmosphere could not be changed.

Even in the face of his subordinates.

Nick Fury's office is on the top floor of the Triple Wing Building, and the amazing height, open view, and location of the Triple Wing allow him to create floor-to-ceiling windows without worrying about where the sniper bullets are flying from.

Of course, the glass should still be bulletproof, so as not to come to the real war, the stray bullets of the helicopter can easily destroy everything in the office.

Looking out from the Triple Wing building, you can see almost half of New York, the towering Statue of Liberty, and the busy Hudson River.

Looking out at New York in the distance, Nick Fury fell into deep thought.

In fact, it is not unreasonable to say that he is in control of everything, the current S.H.I.E.L.D. is still hidden behind the scenes as the world's largest spy organization, and Nick Fury, as the spy leader, has the authority of a tenth-level agent, he knows all the news in the world, as long as he wants, how many bureau corpses were received in the Hudson River yesterday, the report can be put on his desk this morning.

But the more you know, the more you feel ignorant, and the same applies to the agent's intelligence.

As S.H.I.E.L.D.'s web spreads wider and wider, everything is in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s hands, but in the same way, the darkness that cannot be grasped is becoming more and more prominent, and in this case, it is impossible to detect their existence. The difficulty can be imagined.

These secret existences are not accessible to ordinary people, even for S.H.I.E.L.D.

And S.H.I.E.L.D. can spot them. It is also because of the wide net that when everything is under control, then where it has not been mastered, there must be a problem.

Nick Fury can deduce that there are many unknown existences in this world, after all, the meaning of S.H.I.E.L.D. is to cut off the world of ordinary people from interference, but he doesn't know what these existences are, he doesn't know what the problem is, and he doesn't know how to investigate.

And that's just one aspect, but beyond that. There are also many unexpected situations.

For example, natural mutations, alien legacies, and the consequences of scientists.

These are all unexpected situations, and that's exactly what Nick Fury has a headache for.

"So..." Nick Fury rubbed his eyebrows and said in a low voice, "She just shook the poker like that, and the poker became a poker soldier?" ”

"Yes." Coulson, who had already passed the initial seriousness and puzzlement, said in a relatively relaxed tone, "The video is still there, you can watch it again, sir." ”

He's even in the mood for a joke.

"I have to say, that's pretty cool."

Nick Fury turned around, glared at Coulson with the rest of his single eye, and said angrily, "I should be glad she didn't throw tarot cards!" ”

He sighed again with a headache and sat heavily in his chair.

Nick Fury isn't in a good mood, and it's no wonder that as the head of S.H.I.E.L.D., he's in a better mood because he's plagued by troublesome things seven days a week.

Yesterday near dawn, an urgent phone call woke him up from bed, and this important clue was handed directly to his desk, but when he arrived, he found that the matter was nearing the end, and more importantly, because of the special nature of the matter, it was difficult for them to do anything.

It is necessary to be cautious and scouted before making a decision, choosing an attitude towards the target, a plan.

After tossing and turning for several hours, it was already dawn, and there was no new news from the agents on duty at the scene.

So it's no wonder that Nick Fury is in a better mood.

Looking at the materials on the table, Nick Fury frowned again.

"What does the research department say?" He asked Coulson.

The information on the table is very familiar, because just two days ago, Coulson himself handed it to his desk, and a transcendent human appeared in Hell's Kitchen who was suspected of having psychic abilities, who could erase other people's memories, and may even have the power to tamper with memories.

Nick Fury raises the level of secrecy for his target, and prepares for Coulson to finish his preparations and investigate for himself.

But he didn't expect that the next day, the new information was put on his desk again, not only because of the mess caused by the target, but also because of his three views, and even his world view.

Nick Fury's early arrival was the case.

Initially, Coulson took his orders, and only after quickly removing two experienced agents to crouch nearby and gather some information could they move on to the next step.

But before the day came, another target that S.H.I.E.L.D. had been eyeing for a long time, Purple Jebdia seemed to have discovered the fact that his memory had been lost, and came directly to the door.

Contacting two targets has no effect on S.H.I.E.L.D., and they don't intend to interfere with the free movement of their targets, as they haven't arrived yet, and most importantly. They can get more surprises and information from this process.

In fact, they did get new information, but the surprise seemed a little too big.

According to the live records that Nick Fury saw, the first to arrive were Purple and several of her men, and then three little ones were unlucky enough to get up. After all, it was still a young man's shop.

But then things are a little bit over-developed, first another gang in Hell's Kitchen. The Extreme Way from the day* happens to be chasing an unidentified guy.

Later, S.H.I.E.L.D. found out the information of this person, Marcia Murdoch, a blind man, a lawyer, and also did some things at night to punish evil and promote good.

That's why she's being targeted by the extreme.

Leaving aside these things outside the branches, when Jidao found her, the two groups of people broke out directly into conflict without accident, and the chaos caused by the conflict made the target and the purple man also be involved.

Jidao seems to have expected that the ninjas they sent out who were comparable to elite killers were not controlled by the purple people, and they were also not affected by the target's psychic ability, and then... They had everything in order.

Originally intended to have the extraordinary power of the mind, in the chaos showed extraordinary strength, fighting skills, bounce power, balance, and even resistance to blows that ordinary people can't have.

According to the estimates of the research department, he has even reached the elementary stage of super-soldiering.

Then there are some more unexplained phenomena, a handful of poker soldiers who are thrown out of the sky, a dozen ninjas who mysteriously disappear, and the second floor of the store that was finally repaired for no reason.

As the head of the department who deals with mysterious forces and paranormal phenomena all day long, Nick Fury certainly doesn't deceive himself into saying anything, this is impossible, are you kidding, his subordinates are fooling me Such a meaningless order, he chose to believe it in the first place, and attach importance to it.

Attentiveness and discretion are essential traits for every agent. Those who don't have it are already dead.

What he doesn't need is not meaningless complaints and surprises, what he needs to know is, what exactly is this power, what is the limit of this power, they... And what kind of attitude should be used to deal with this unstable goal?

Therefore, the information about the target was sent to the research department by him as soon as possible, and he must analyze what the hell this is.

Hearing the chief's inquiry, Coulson naturally made an inquiry, he tapped on the headset, whispered a few words of inquiry, and then gave an unexpected answer.

"I'm sorry sir. They couldn't decipher what it was. ”

What kind of technology can turn playing cards into living poker soldiers, robots, and how to explain the reason for their amplification?

S.H.I.E.L.D. has some of the best scientists in the world. Maybe not the best, but good enough, and most importantly there are so many of them that they can form a group.

Not even such a brilliant group of scientists can explain the science and technology involved. Coulson didn't know what that meant.

Nick Fury was not surprised to hear Coulson's answer, his dark face made it impossible to see his expression, and the rest of his eyes could not see through the slightest thought of him.

After a long silence, Nick Fury said suddenly.

"If you exclude the possibility of technology, what else will it be."

Coulson was stunned.

"We've been exposed to a lot of unexplained phenomena, alien technology that we can't crack, including the target itself, and his extraordinary power is a mutation."

"Is it possible. These things too. ”

Will aliens leave poker soldiers who look like playing cards?,Probably impossible,Coulson pouted secretly.,But if it's the target's ability.。。 It is not impossible to come.

After all, they now knew almost nothing about the target, and the only clue they knew was the distant observation of the two agents.

"This is what I just received."

Nick Fury handed Coulson a piece of paper, "They've given the target this level of threat. What do you think. ”

"I'm sorry sir, I haven't been in contact and can't draw any more conclusions."

Coulson skimmed through the report for the analysis of the target, and didn't stop answering.

The next moment, Nick Fury had clearly made some kind of decision.

He rested his hand lightly on the table and calmly said to Coulson, "Like what we lack, we need more intelligence about the target." ”

"It's up to you to reach him."

"The sooner the better, remember, your bottom line is... Just contact, don't do anything that actively provokes trouble. ”

"Understood."

"Understood, sir." Coulson said immediately.

"Go ahead and do it."

Watching Coulson leave, Nick Fury dialed another number again, ". . I need a squad assault. ”

“。。 Temporarily.. ”

“。。 Protection is the main thing. ”

Nick Fury's words were fast, and within a few moments, he had already made a few phone calls to get everything done, and then... It's time to wait for a response.

They don't take the initiative to stir up trouble, but again, S.H.I.E.L.D. has never been a benevolent being.

The reason why I told Coulson that. It's also because the other party seems to be able to manipulate memory, and if you don't say that, I'm afraid you won't even be able to talk about it in the first place.

So these squads responsible for armed support had to do it in secret, avoiding Coulson.

As for what plan to use to face the goal. In fact, it was a problem at first, but with Coulson officially engaged, there was only one option left.

There's no way Nick Fury can let anyone who sees through the memories of a high-ranking S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. Still free.

。。。

When the sunlight rises at an angle again, spreading from the sky with bad intentions, and even the dead corners of those rooms can be illuminated, it is not surprising that the warmth of the sun is ushered in in a room with curtains drawn and a pile of wine bottles and cans.

Not the morning sun, but the noon.

Sunlight came through the curtains, dispelling the darkness and cold, and waking a figure leaning back in a chair with its feet casually leaning forward.

"Uhhhh Damn, how long did I sleep. ”

Jessica staggered to her feet from a bottle. She hadn't drunk anything when she came back last night, but she didn't have anything else in the house but bottles.

"Ahh

Stretching, Jessica scratched at her short black hair, which didn't seem to mess up.

"I didn't drink. My head still hurts. She muttered under her breath.

The next moment, a huge amount of memories poured in, and she instantly woke up from her daze, searching for lost memories, corpses in the morgue, eccentric forensic doctors and forensic assistants, and... Clue.

Jessica suddenly got up, rushed to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face, and it didn't take her three minutes before she rushed out again.

When the curtains are opened, the sunlight that swayes down also banishes the darkness and completely illuminates the hidden darkness on the walls.

It was a map, plastered with photographs and a dense patch of thin lines of various colors, connecting them with pins, meaning that Jessica was weaving through the threads.

Anyway, her job is also a private detective, looking for the truth. But her old job.
