153. House arrest
Hearing Rothew's decision, Alexander Pierce nodded with satisfaction.
"You're a smart man." He smiled and said, "Agent Sitwell, take Xiu to the research team." ”
"Okay." The bald Sitwell walked up to Luo Xiu and led him to the laboratory where the Cosmic Cube was located.
After the two left, Garrett asked in a deep voice, "Director Pierce, are you sure this kid is trustworthy?" Not long ago, he had played a high-ranking member of S.H.I.E.L.D. in public, and he escaped from S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy in full view......"
"What? With so many of you senior agents, will you be teased by him a second time? Pierce said in a deep voice, "I never said I trusted this kid, and I didn't think he would be with us, but don't forget, he's the only one who can activate the Cosmic Rubik's Cube!" At this point, we have to work with him, and you and I have no other choice. ”
"That's right......," Garrett nodded, "then I'll send more men to keep an eye on him." ”
"You'd better not let me down." Pierce said in a deep voice.

Under the guidance of Sitwell, Luo Xiu came to the Cosmic Cube Laboratory.
The laboratory is still the same as it used to be, and the Cosmic Cube is set on the same mechanical hand, shimmering with scorching brilliance.
"Repair?!"
After Luo Xiu entered the door, a familiar voice came from not far away.
Luo Xiu followed the prestige, and saw Professor Blake, who had led the team before, standing not far away.
"Professor Black." Luo Xiu smiled and said hello, he actually felt guilty for not saying goodbye, after all, Professor Black was very attentive to them, and now that they met again, Luo Xiu finally had the opportunity to apologize in person.
"How did you guys end up in New Mexico? I almost scared you to death the day you disappeared......" Professor Black said with a sigh of relief, "I thought the Cosmic Cube had swallowed you up some unobservable corner of the universe. ”
"I'm so sorry Professor Black, and we don't want to say goodbye." Luo Xiu said sincerely.
"By the way, what about Fitz and Jenma?"
"They...... It's all still in New Mexico, and I'm coming back for the Cosmic Rubik's Cube. Luo Xiudao.
"What the hell is going on there? I've heard it's starting to snow in the desert and Director Nick Fury is missing, what the hell is going on? "Professor Black apparently knows nothing about the confidential information.
"I can't say it with all due respect." Luo Xiu did not divulge the secret, "In short, the top priority now is to develop the Cosmic Rubik's Cube. ”
"Oh, I understand." Professor Black didn't insist on asking, but thoughtfully said, "Anyway, it's good that you're back." ”
"Thank you, Professor Black, it's nice to see you." Luo Xiu also said with a smile.
At this time, Professor Davidson also came over, this guy is the eyeliner that Garrett planted in the laboratory, and he is also the first person in charge of the laboratory.
"We're meeting again, young genius." Davidson's smile was clearly not so sincere, "Your trip is exciting enough." ”
"That's true, Professor Davidson." Luo Xiu didn't plan to talk nonsense with him, and simply went to observe the Rubik's Cube in the universe with a simple perfunctory sentence.
The Cosmic Cube is still active at this time, but the energy inside is relatively stable, and it seems that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s current plan is to take out the energy of the Cosmic Cube like a charge and store it in other containers for use.
It's less efficient and unimaginative, but it's the safest and can be said to be low-risk and low-reward.
"Do you have any ideas? Rational development of this super energy source from the universe? Professor Davidson walked up to Luo Xiu and asked with a smile.
"Not yet, but I'm sure I will." Luo Xiu's answer was still perfunctory.
"Then please hurry." Professor Davidson smiled and hidden, "There's not much time left for you. ”
Before Luo Xiu could start researching, Stark's phone came after him.
"Repair! What's going on over there? Did you get the Cosmic Rubik's Cube? ”
"What's going on in Old Bridge Town? Is there a whereabouts for the missing person? Luo Xiu didn't answer the rhetorical question.
"No, they don't have any news at all, the blizzard is still expanding, and it may spread to the base at noon tomorrow......" Stark's voice was a little anxious, "What about the Cosmic Rubik's Cube?" What the hell is going on? ”
"My side...... Something went wrong, and the Cosmic Cube might not be delivered in time. Luo Xiu knew that Pierce and the others must be listening to this phone call, so he spoke very carefully, "Mr. Stark, you have to prepare in advance, I think I have to delay in the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy for a few days, I'm really sorry." ”
"What?" Stark was surprised, "Are you saying that you and the Cosmic Cube can't come back?" ”
"That's right, Mr. Stark." Luo Xiu sighed, "I'm sorry. ”
"Damn! You'd better not let me down, boy, or I'll definitely want you to look good next time we meet! Stark said in a deep voice, "Besides, you're not going to be a runaway, are you?" ”
"Mr. Stark, I think I'm going to have to hang ......up," Rosho didn't answer him, but hung up in a hurry.
Stark in the S.H.I.E.L.D. base in Old Bridge Town was confused by Luo Xiu's inexplicable words, and Luo Xiu on the phone was too abnormal.
But on second thought, Stark suddenly realized.
"Flickering is never Xiu's style, this kid is passing on a message to me, and he didn't even ask about Zhenma on the phone...... He had gone through a lot of hardships to get the girl back, and he would never even ask a question. Unless...... The phone was being monitored, and his situation was delicate...... This means ......"
Thinking of this, Stark turned back to Coulson and said, "Coulson, I speculate that some changes have occurred within your S.H.I.E.L.D. department. ”
"Oh? What's changing? Agent Coulson asked blankly.
"Changes in decision-making. Judging from the phone call just now, it is very likely that the crater base has become an isolated island abandoned by S.H.I.E.L.D. Stark said in a deep voice.
"What about Shura?" Coulson asked.
"Oh, he's not going to let us down." Stark smiled lightly, "Since he promised to bring back the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, he will definitely be able to bring the Cosmic Cube back, I don't think those people in S.H.I.E.L.D. can stop him." ”
——————
As time passed, Luo Xiu continued to study the magical Cosmic Rubik's Cube.
However, there was no privacy in his actions in the lab, and apart from Professor Davidson's occasional rounds, he found at least four surveillance cameras in the lab pointing at him.
Even if he went out to the toilet, there were at least three detectives behind him, and it seemed that Pierce was not afraid of angering Luo Xiu at all, just to blatantly control him.
Four hours passed in the blink of an eye, and it was evening, but Pierce did not relax his surveillance of Rohew, and Professor Davidson followed him almost without eating or drinking.
"Xiu, do you have any ideas?"
"Xiu, what do you think of the change in the state of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube?"
"Xiu, what kind of tool are you making?"
Since the last time Luo Xiu disappeared out of thin air in front of everyone's eyes, this time Professor Davidson kept a particularly detailed eye on him, and even Luo Xiu even wrote a formula by hand Professor Davidson had to interrogate him for a long time.
But Luo Xiu didn't care about the close monitoring of these people at all, the senior agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. seemed to him to be just NPCs with simple procedures, and before they knew it, Luo Xiu had dragged them into an invisible net, and now just by flipping the switch, Pierce and his agents would be like a fat fish, and he would be at the bottom of the net......
