Chapter 19: Truth and Lies

When he first found himself in the world of American comics, Eric secretly thought - if there was any place on Earth that was the most inaccessible, then Aegis's floating carriers would definitely be not low. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Because once you get the opportunity to climb it, it means that you have no chance of being "ordinary" in your life.

But fate is such an interesting thing, and if it determines your future in the first place, it seems that no matter how long you play hide and seek with it, you will eventually return to square one and have to obey its schedule. Eric deliberately wanted to avoid trouble, but now the trouble came to the door, and he still boarded the sci-fi mothership.

I have to say, this thing is really spectacular. At the same time, the aircraft carrier, which has the ability of amphibious warfare on land, sea and air, carries countless giant cannons, combat vehicles and Kun fighters on its vast deck, which is simply a mobile arsenal. As far as science and technology are concerned, the technological power of this world has indeed thrown off the eight major roads of the world before Eric's rebirth.

"Director Fury is waiting here." Sharon Carter led Eric through the corridors and finally stopped in front of a compound golden door, "I'll take you here." ”

Eric nodded, "Thank you." ”

The automatic door slid open in front of him as if it recognized him, and as soon as he stepped inside, it closed with a "drop" sound.

Nick Fury sat behind the only transparent table in the room, looking exactly as Eric remembered. He was dressed in that pitch-black trench coat, with a bald head, and the black skull reflected incandescent light. He covered his left eye with a black blindfold, and the only one in his right eye shot a sharp gaze like a sophisticated scanner, making people feel as if his soul was naked in front of him.

"So what should I call you? One-Eyed Man? Despite the fact that he knew Nick Fury, Eric asked.

"My name is Nick Fury, the person in charge here." Fury glanced toward the seat in front of the table with his eyes, "Sit down, kid, feel free." ”

Ereca opened a chair and sat down.

"First of all, I have to thank you. You subdued Zola, saving us a lot of trouble, reducing a lot of damage, and saving many people who might otherwise have died, even though Zola's own body has not yet been found. ”

Despite the words of gratitude on his lips, his emotionless tone had barely changed since he spoke.

"I know you have a lot of questions right now." "But you might be disappointed—maybe I don't know as much as you think, and we have limited information." I can share what we know, but before you can do that, you have to answer - how did you know about the existence of Aegis? ”

Eric shrugged: "Through my parents, otherwise how else would I know?" They thought I wouldn't remember until I was three years old, but in fact I started remembering much earlier than the average child. They used to mention it in front of me. ”

He lied. His parents never talked about work in front of him, but he felt it was better to lie than to say, "I saw it in comics."

Fury was silent for a moment, as if trying to see through his eyes, but unfortunately he found that the young man's eyes were as unfathomable as well water, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

"That's how it should be." Fury's statement was meaningful, but it seemed that he was not going to pursue it for the time being, and he instead said, "Then as you know, your parents used to be Aegis researchers. In the past, they were responsible for the 'Unmanned Soldier' project, which aimed to create robot soldiers that could be remotely controlled, so that the days when soldiers risked their lives on the battlefield will be a thing of the past. ”

"But your father—forgive me for saying that—was a man of great ambition, and even a little too much to control." Fury seemed to remember something, and the one-eyed brow furrowed slightly, "I vetoed his several attempts to make a dangerous attempt, and I think maybe that was the fuse." One day fifteen years ago, someone else threw an olive branch to him. ”

"Hydra?" Eric asked, "I heard that the guy named Zola who was just put down was a Hydra man, and he told me it was because my father developed a system of armor that Zora's research was no longer taken seriously. ”

"We thought the same thing a while ago, but now we see that it doesn't seem that simple. Not only Hydra, but also many more unknown organizations are involved, and we still don't understand what the relationship between them is. "But one thing we know for sure. It was Dr. Charlotte who was personally responsible for the development of the 'Amozo System', the armor you now own. Maybe he's entrusted someone to put the armor in your hands, and I'm sure he must want you to make a difference with it. ”

"But how do you know that giving this to me is what he meant? There are many more possibilities......"

"Because the armor was designed for you, Eric." Fury interrupted him, and said, "It contains all your data, binds your genes, and no one but you can drive it, and this is a program that was written when it was designed, and now even Dr. Charlotte himself can't change it." ”

Eric froze.

"Your father loves you, Eric." "He entrusted this to you because he believed in you, and he knew you would make the right choice...... I'm sorry, kid. ”

Eric read something from his face, and his face sank involuntarily: "He's dead...... Is that right? ”

Fury stared straight at him, didn't speak, but had an affirmative answer written on his face.

Eric was silent for a long time, and then spoke, "When?" ”

"The details involve other secrets, and I can't disclose them. But what I can tell you is that Dr. Charlotte has been confirmed dead, but your mother's whereabouts are still unknown...... I'm sorry you have to hear this, kid. ”

"It's okay, I didn't expect it a little...... "Then if there's nothing else to do, I'd like to go back first, Director, I'm tired today." ”

"Of course, Agent Carter will send you back in a moment. Oh and one more thing......"

Fury pulled one hand on the glass tabletop, and the pale blue virtual screen immediately stood up from the table. In the center of the screen is an emergency news break, which shows Eric just fighting the gigantic Dr. Zola.

"We're going to wipe out all the clues that might affect your life this time, but you'd better hurry up and come up with a code name." Fury pointed to the green dot of light flying in the frame, which was Eric's green light mode, "After all, you're a household name now." ”

"I'll think about it."

After leaving his last words, Eric left the room.

Moments later, Deputy Director Maria Hill entered the room.

"You didn't tell him the truth, sir." She said, "You didn't tell him how Dr. Charlotte died...... And the fact that we gave him the armor was actually us. ”

"That's fine for now." Fury said lightly, "Dr. Charlotte's genetic lock on the armor makes it so that only he can drive the armor, so that he thinks that it is his father's will to get the armor, he will volunteer to fight, and it will be beneficial to us if he is properly guided." Also, don't let him know the truth about Dr. Charlotte...... It's also a good thing for himself. ”
