Chapter 026: Three Actions (Part I)
Since the end of the Blade incident, more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
In a little over a month, the team completed three operations. The only thing that had to do with the superpowers was, uh, once and a half, and one of them ended up with the decision to kill the superpowered Coulson, which made Skye, who was bent on 'saving' more superpowers through the independence of the Special Ops team and the new system, from the harsh and even brutal processes of the other divisions of Hydra, all feel a sense of powerlessness to punch the cotton hard, and the other half didn't see the superpower.
The reason for the incident was that a man who was a gambler went to Las Vegas to make a lot of money, lost all his money, and owed a lot of debt. In the case that his wife ran away with her child who was only a few years old and forcibly filed for divorce, coupled with the fierce pursuit of the creditor, this guy couldn't think about it, closed the kitchen, and prepared to put gas inside and open the microwave to play self-immolation and self-explosion. As a result, his microwave oven was burned one step ahead of him, causing an explosion that rippled through the entire kitchen, and the out-of-control high-frequency electromagnetic waves swept through his body during the explosion, altering his body tissues in a way that could not be reversed, turning him into a superpowered person who could release flames out of thin air with his hands. So, the guy who got this superpower broke out in the second disease, and after burning all the gangsters who came to collect debts to death very neatly, he gave himself the nickname - Vulcan.
It was at that time that Bus received a mission from Hydra HQ to take charge of the incident with the Special Operations Squad. Bus was still in Florida at the time, right next door to Atlanta-Georgia, where the incident took place. In other words, Rhaegar is the most recent.
After getting the initial information about Vulcan, Rhaegar and the others - even Coulson - didn't realize that the next thing was going to be very extreme. At that time, they also believed that this 'Vulcan' had the possibility of being regulated and controlled. However, by the time the bus landed on the outskirts of Atlanta, the situation was out of control. After killing the debt collector, the self-proclaimed Vulcan first found a temporary residence for his wife, who was about to become his ex-wife, and burned him to charcoal, and then planned to kill his son, who had left with his wife and 'betrayed' him. At that time, his son was in kindergarten and narrowly escaped - to be honest, words like 'fluke' and 'lucky' should not be used here, after all, the child is only a few years old, and he has experienced the tragic incident of his mother being burned to death by his biological father!
The evil of the 'Vulcan' did not end when he did not find his son, and the police stopped him on his way to his son's kindergarten, only to be slaughtered. The Vulcan, who killed his wife and unleashed the dark side of his heart, has evolved to the point where he can melt bullets fired at him at close range with flames alone, and has acquired a new skill to throw the flames he creates, and with this move, he can detonate a police car from a distance. In that interception, six policemen survived, and all of them were charred in the hoarse screams. The scene was miserable.
For such superpowers, even Skye, Fitz, and Simmons can't say things like 'he shouldn't just die.'" Coulson also gave orders such as 'protect yourself, and kill them on the spot if necessary'. As a result, Skye locks on to Vulcan's location by hacking into the traffic camera, Fitz and Simmons work hard to create a liquid nitrogen 'fire extinguisher' that is far from portable, May and Ward create a movement to attract his attention, and Rhaegar and Coulson use liquid nitrogen to block his ability to release flames.
If this is the end of the matter, then the 'Vulcan' will be sentenced to life imprisonment at most - although the life sentence of Hydra may be worse than the death penalty, but it is still alive from time to time. But this guy just likes to die. Unable to release the flames and escape, this guy even wanted to self-detonate and drag everyone present to hell with him, and finally Rhaegar rushed over in a hurry and risked being blown up, breaking his neck, which ended the incident.
Let's talk about the team's third operation in more than a month. The reason why I skipped the second operation and talked about it first is that in addition to the fact that they all involve superpowers, it is also because the third operation has a certain connection with the 'Vulcan' incident. While the Hydra agents recruited by Coulson took Vulcan's body away for disposal, Skye stumbled upon an incident through surveillance: there were people secretly watching them throughout the whole time that Rhaegar and the others stopped Vulcan from doing evil and finally had to kill him. After reporting the incident to Coulson, Skye was given the go-ahead to find out the truth, and she soon revealed the confusing truth that the nickname 'Vulcan' had not been chosen by the man himself, but had been suggested by someone else. And this 'other' turned out to be the leader of the gang that collected debts from him, and after that man killed all the men who were sent by the gang leader to collect debts.
That's weird, isn't it?
Skye's clues are broken here, after all, everything can be connected by the network from time to time. So, Coulson sent her, Rhaeggar, Ward, and May out to find out. As a result, Rhaegar was the first to get a new clue. It turned out that after the 'Vulcan' killed the gangsters who were collecting debts, the gang leader of the gang did not arrange a counterattack, but took the initiative to meet with the 'Vulcan', promised him many benefits, and prepared to recruit him to work for the organization. The nickname 'Vulcan' was suggested at that time.
Initially, Vulcan did not intend to accept solicitations. Although he has a bit of a crazy brain, he is not stupid. A gangster whose main business is now to distribute loan sharks by unscrupulous means does not look like a promising kind in any way. The gang leader himself knew this, but he then said that he did not represent himself, and the organization he was talking about did not refer to the gang, but to him and the big boss behind the gang, and the bigger boss behind the big guy.
According to the witness who Rhaegar found, he was actually just passing by and didn't know exactly what was going on at the scene, but he did hear the words 'Hand Harmony' and 'Konami'. According to the results of the team's analysis later, if there is no accident, the content of these two keywords should be that the Hand wants to recruit the 'Vulcan', and Jin is the leader behind the Hand Group.
At present, Jin is still just a name, and there is no difference between 'gang leader' and 'gang leader', they all refer to the bosses of the underworld gang, but Jin He sounds more imposing and has more status. At this time, even Coulson, who was an eighth-level agent of Hydra, didn't know that the name was actually referring to someone. However, in the matter of the 'Vulcan', and in the next matter, Kim is not the point.
At that time, the gang leader seemed to have brought some people from the Hand to show the 'Vulcan' some of the strength of the organization. Coupled with the benefits promised by the gang leader on behalf of the Hand Clan, Vulcan agreed to join. And when the gang leader asks him to help solve a problem for the Hand Clan, he says that he will take care of his side of the matter before acting. And the Hand Club was not very relieved, so they sent someone to follow secretly.
So there was a later incident in which Rhaegar and the others stopped and killed the 'Vulcan', but the people of the Hand watched the whole thing.
With this clue provided by Rhaegar allows Skye to get back to her best project - hacking into someone else's data as a hacker.
