Chapter 529: Prelude
Because of this, Skye's father personally went to hand over the obelisk to Whitehall, the man he hated the most, hoping to join forces to destroy S.H.I.E.L.D.
Whitehall was indeed the person Skye's father hated the most, and during World War II, his name was Dr. Reinhardt, and at that time, he was already experimenting with the obelisk, hoping to decipher the obelisk's secrets.
The power of the obelisk is very special, regardless of race, gender, age, and there is only one fate for those who touch it, and that is ash decomposition. During one of the experiments, Reinhardt found a Chinese woman who could survive under the obelisk, and he was about to experiment on her, but the news of the Red Skull's death interrupted everything, and Reinhardt was captured by Peggy Carter's Roaring Commando team.
Decades later, the re-enlarged Hydra rescued Reinhardt from prison, and Hydra also found Jia Ying, a Chinese woman who had escaped the obelisk, and Jia Ying was still young after many years, this time Reinhardt did not let her go, he and Jia Ying exchanged all their organs, gave themselves a new life, and changed their name to Dr. Whitehall.
As for Jiaying, Whitehall ordered his men to abandon her at will, because he didn't think she would survive, but at that time, Jiaying's husband, Calvin Zabo, Skye's father, found Jiaying and saved her in time.
For Calvin, Whitehall is the murderer who shattered his family, and he is the person he hates the most, and the reason why he is now approaching him and cooperating with him is to unite against Coulson and take Skye from Coulson's hands, and on the other hand, in order to prevent Whitehall from dying easily, he wants to kill him himself to avenge him, and at the same time let Skye use the obelisk to evolve.
As for the so-called "Melinda" that Rena saw before, it was actually not Melinda herself, but the former Agent 33 of S.H.I.E.L.D., after the disintegration of S.H.I.E.L.D., Agent 33 was captured by White Hall and controlled by him using his unique mental manipulation.
The main reason why she was able to become Melinda's appearance was because of a high-tech mask, which Natasha used to disguise herself as a British representative, deceived Alexander Pierce, and then saved the situation at a critical moment.
Obviously, there is not only one such thing in the world, and Hydra has received a lot of "legacy" from S.H.I.E.L.D., and among them is it.
And the reason why agent 33 is what she is now is because she was ordered by Whitehall to disguise herself as Melinda, trying to deceive and approach Coulson, but unfortunately, she showed her feet in a detail, so Coulson recognized her identity, and then Melinda arrived in person, and after a fight between the two sides, Melinda caught her by the wire and electrocuted her.
Of course, Agent 33 was not really electrocuted, she was just stunned, although the power of the current was strong, but a large part of the current was indeed absorbed by the high-tech mask, so in the end, Agent 33 was lucky to survive, and in exchange for the price that the left half of the high-tech mask's face was destroyed, and it was also fused with her own face, and she could no longer get out, and her small half of her face was also destroyed!
Although Agent 33 can't pretend to be anyone, her strength is still good, her skills are almost on par with Melinda's, and more importantly, she is younger than her, just a little less experienced.
Rayna was immediately frightened when Agent 33 said Whitehall's name, and she immediately ran out the door, while several Hydra agents were already waiting for her outside.
At the moment of crisis, three consecutive gunshots rang out in the vicinity, and the crowd suddenly became confused, and it was in this chaos that Rena got rid of the pursuit of Hydra in time and fled towards the side alley, and suddenly, a hand suddenly reached out from the alley and grabbed her.
Rena was stunned for a moment, but she didn't resist, because she could see clearly that the person who grabbed her was Ling Xiao.
Although Rena has not met Ling Xiao, she has also seen the process of her fighting with Garrett and others from the video, from the top secret information released on the Internet from outside S.H.I.E.L.D., she quickly determined Ling Xiao's identity, but unfortunately, superheroes can't afford to mess with it!
Although she didn't say a word, Rena still cautiously followed Ling Xiao's back, leaving the alley all the way to a nearby hotel, where Reina's luggage was still there.
At this time, Rena really saw Ling Xiao's methods, even if they came face to face with the Hydra agents, the Hydra agents did not realize that the two people opposite them were the objects they were pursuing.
Back at the hotel, Rena hurriedly packed her luggage, but just as they were about to leave, Agent 33 chased after her, and after a burst of gunshots, all the bullets fell in front of Ling Xiao, as if they had encountered an invisible wall.
Agent 33 accepted Whitehall's order to catch Rena, so when she saw this scene, she didn't have any idea of escaping at all, but pounced directly at Ling Xiao, but unfortunately, she was facing Ling Xiao.
It was just a right hand, and the five rays of blue, red, yellow, white, and black between the five fingers flowed, and the next moment, Agent 33 had been directly pressed to the ground by this palm, and then Ling Xiao's left palm slapped the back of her head, and Agent 33 had already been stunned to the ground.
Turning around, Ling Xiao looked at Rena, only to see a strange color in his eyes, and before Rena could react, the person had already fainted.
When Rena woke up again, she found herself on a plane, and Agent 33 was long gone.
"Sit up when you wake up, right?" Ling Xiao, who was holding a tablet to check some information, glanced at Rena, and lowered his head again.
Rena smiled a little wryly, then looked at Ling Xiao and asked, "Mr. Ling, where are we now?" ”
"Now?" Ling Xiao put down the tablet in his hand, glanced out the window, and said, "We are now over the western Pacific Ocean, and the next stop, our destination is Puerto Rico, the city of San Juan, Puerto Rico, where a good show is about to start." ”
Ling Xiao glanced back at Rena, a strange smile appeared in her eyes, she would never have imagined that Ling Xiao had already done something to her.
Puerto Rico is located in the eastern part of the Caribbean Islands, including the island of Puerto Rico and the small islands of Vieques and Culevra. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the north, the Caribbean Sea to the south, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the British Islands to the east, and the Dominican Republic to the west by the Mona Strait.
However, Puerto Rico is not a country with independent rights, he originally belonged to a Spanish colony, and later after the Spanish-American War, it was divided by Spain to the United States and became a colony of the United States, but due to the resistance of the Puerto Rican people for generations, the United States granted Puerto Rico the status of a free commonwealth and implemented autonomy, but important departments such as foreign affairs, defense, and tariffs are still controlled by the United States, and the people of the island naturally have American nationality.
The city of San Juan is the capital of Puerto Rico, it is located on the northeast coast of Puerto Rico Island, in the Bay of San Juan, the largest port on the island, Puerto Rico Port is wide and narrow, and is an important maritime transportation hub between the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. The city is divided into two districts, the old and the new, which is on the north shore of the main island of Puerto Rico. Skyscrapers can be seen rising from the ground everywhere in the city. The Old Town is smaller and sits on two small islands at the entrance to San Juan Bay.
The Old Town was founded in 1533 and has many ancient buildings, including a thick parapet along the coast, and three castles, the largest of which is La Fortaleza Palace, which is the oldest administrative residence in the Western Hemisphere and is visited by a large number of tourists every year.
At this time, Coulson and Barbara pretend to be a pair of ordinary tourists, surveying the terrain while waiting for their guide, they need to get an ancient map of the city to be able to find the exact location of the entrance, but as the people who are about to blow up the entire dungeon, the two of them seem to be relaxed.
At the same time, in a jungle on the island, Fitz and Simmons, as well as another team member, Alfonso McKinsey, are also eagerly preparing, and no one knows that the dark tide has begun to surge.
