Chapter 918: Cruel Reality

Hearing Ling Xiao say this, Jeffrey Mays's face changed darkly, how could he forget, whether it was as a billionaire or as an avenger, Ling Xiao had a close relationship with some high-level officials in the White House, and even President Evans had met him several times.

Even if the Avengers split and left the British Isles later because of the Sokovia Regulatory Act, whether it was in the White House or in Congress, many people spoke out for him and regretted that he left the United States.

As the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Jeffrey Mays couldn't help but secretly speculate, could it be that President Evans agreed to the cooperation between S.H.I.E.L.D. and Interstellar Immigration so easily, did someone have already done lobbying work in advance?

Anyway, it's a good thing for him.

Thinking of this, the smile on Mace's face was even worse, and then said: "I think it should be no problem, provided that we solve the crisis in front of us." ”

"Of course!" Ling Xiao immediately understood the meaning of Mace's words, as long as the current trouble was solved, and with this matter as an explanation to the public and the media, then there would be no obstacles to the cooperation between S.H.I.E.L.D. and Interstellar Immigration.

After all, in terms of duties, S.H.I.E.L.D. focuses on threats inside the Earth, while Interstellar Immigration is specifically responsible for the placement of aliens who come to Earth, and there is no conflict between the two sides in terms of duties, and they can even complement each other, and sometimes they can even support each other, such as now.

Since the signing of the Sokovia Regulatory Act, Stark Industries and the Siwei Group have successively cut off their financial support for S.H.I.E.L.D., without huge funds as a backup, even Coulson had to hand over his position as director of S.H.I.E.L.D. in exchange for the support of the U.S. government.

After all, in order to make such a huge institution as S.H.I.E.L.D. function normally, the amount of money required is definitely huge.

Not to mention the consideration of strength, just like the crisis in front of us, if there is no Ling Xiao, then S.H.I.E.L.D. must ask Stark for help, but since the signing of the Sokovia Regulatory Act, the relationship between Stark and S.H.I.E.L.D. is not as close as it used to be.

This can't be blamed on Tony Stark, about the killing of the Howards, the Winter Soldier and Hydra certainly bear the main responsibility, but S.H.I.E.L.D. ...... S.H.I.E.L.D. knew that there was something strange about the death of the Howards, but it still concealed the matter until now, which made Tony Stark, who had a very good relationship with his mother, very angry.

Prior to today, S.H.I.E.L.D. had repeatedly requested support from the Avengers, but all of them were rejected by Stark on the grounds that the Avengers were being reorganized.

Therefore, in terms of high-level combat power, S.H.I.E.L.D. is indeed a little difficult, for example, in a situation like today, before there is no strong man with enough strength to make a move, S.H.I.E.L.D. can only fill it with human lives, and in the hands of Eli Morrow, S.H.I.E.L.D. has lost nearly 20 excellent special combat personnel.

Cooperation is beneficial to both parties, and under the premise of this, the meeting between Ling Xiao and Jeffrey Mays becomes very harmonious.

"Mr. Ling, I wonder what you think of the current situation?" Geoffrey Mays looked at Ling Xiao expectantly and asked, "I wonder if you can go directly into the middle of the hall and take out the metal plutonium inside?" ”

Hearing Jeffrey Mays say this, Ling Xiao subconsciously glanced at Fitz and Simmons on the side, did he think of himself as a god or a fool?

You must know that it is metal plutonium, even if you do not consider the nuclear explosion that may be caused by a mistake in operation, the metal plutonium itself has a strong harmful radiation, and the radiation rays can even cause damage to the human body at the genetic level.

What Jeffrey Mays asked was for Ling Xiao to rush into the energy circle while dodging Eli Morrow's attack, and remove the metal plutonium with his own hands without triggering a nuclear explosion, and then cross a long distance and send it to S.H.I.E.L.D. at the same time.

Is he crazy? Why would he take such a big risk to help S.H.I.E.L.D. do this, and did Jeffrey Mays really take him for a fool?

No wonder Fitz and Simmons want to scold him for being a villain, all the risks are borne by others, and she doesn't do anything herself, but she wants to reap the benefits, everything is not too beautiful, is it really that his S.H.I.E.L.D. is a huge institution run by Nick Fury in the past!

Ling Xiao smiled faintly and said, "If possible, I would like to do this too, but the matter is much more serious than we thought. ”

"Oh, can't you even do this?" Jeffrey Mays looked at Ling Xiao with some suspicion, faintly questioning his strength.

"There are some things that you don't know, and what you're seeing now is just a superficial phenomenon." Ling Xiao took a deep breath and said, "All of you have now only seen Eli Morro, who is very powerful with the support of the energy array, plutonium and quantum emitters that may detonate nuclear bombs at any time, as well as radioactive elements and quantum impact force fields, in fact, these are only superficial things, and there are even more terrifying things hidden at a deeper level. ”

Hearing Ling Xiao say this, some S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who looked at him with slightly provocative eyes around him couldn't help but fall silent, what Jeffrey Mays said just now was light, but the danger contained in it was indeed beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and even more than that.

Jeffrey Mays frowned and asked, "Is there really anything we can't see?" ”

"Hmm!" Ling Xiao nodded solemnly before he spoke: "We all know that Eli Morro's ability comes from the Dark Divine Book, but you don't know that he has also been corrupted by the Dark Divine Script, and the Dark Eye he arranged is actually influenced by the Dark Divine Script. We all know that the Book of Darkness has another name called the Scroll of Sithorne, and the Eye of Darkness also has another name called the Eye of Thethorne. ”

Speaking of this, Ling Xiao looked at the people who had already vaguely guessed something, sighed, and continued: "Billions of years ago, the ancient demon Sithorne, in order to escape the devouring of the God Eater, was forced into exile to other dimensions. And the Eye of Sithorne has actually communicated a trace of the consciousness of Sithorne in other dimensions. ”

Hearing this, the others have completely understood, the metal plutonium is hanging on the Devil's Eye, if you want to take away the metal plutonium, the first thing you have to pass is the level of the Devil's Eye, whether it is the Devil's Eye or Eli Morrow, it is impossible to let Ling Xiao easily take away the metal plutonium, once you do it, it is likely to face the simultaneous attack of the two, the risk is too great, so big that random actions may cause the danger of nuclear explosion.

"Is there really no way?" Jeffrey Mays couldn't help frowning, his gaze subconsciously glanced at Ida and Dr. Radcliffe who had just entered, and in just a moment, he withdrew his gaze, and the person became much more settled.

Ling Xiao sensitively sensed this, sneered secretly, and then continued: "It's not that there is no way, it's just that I have to talk about some strategies a little, and I can't rush brainlessly, and maybe I can achieve my goal a little bit in a roundabout." ”

Seeing Ling Xiao looking at him with a smile, Mace's face couldn't help but turn red, and he hurriedly asked, "Is there any specific way?" ”

"Skye, come over here." Ling Xiao beckoned to Skye, nodded and said, "You can explain it to everyone." ”

"Okay, Director." Skye replied, then raised his hands and said to everyone, "Everyone knows my abilities, but what you don't know is that in addition to being able to release shock waves, I can also feel shock waves above a certain level emitted from other places, including earthquakes. In recent times, there have been several earthquakes with a magnitude or higher near Los Angeles, and the shock waves have all been felt by me. ”

"Yes!" Fitz nodded quickly, picked up the tablet in his hand, and after operating on it, he handed it to Jeffrey Mays, and said: "These earthquakes are centered on the building where Eli Morrow is located, but the tremors are not strong, and it is difficult for ordinary people to feel them. ”

"Hmm!" Jeffrey Mays took the tablet and listened to Skye continue as he checked the status of the earthquake that had occurred.

Skye said with a worried face, "None of this is a coincidence, it was Eli Morrow who created something there that caused the shock. ”
