Chapter 336: When the Ridiculous Becomes True

After a "friendly and pleasant" exchange, Zorro learned of Sander's plan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 Info was a little off his radar, he thought it was an assassination of Dr. Doom, that Dr. Doom had some kind of game-changing weapon, or that Dr. Doom was planning some kind of conspiracy. However, Sander was just sent by the founders of the Extreme Agent Project to find out the truth about how Dr. Doom became the dictator of Latvia with the funding of Hydra, and then managed to get rid of Hydra, and that's it.

It just so happened that Zorro knew the truth, and it was Doctor Doom who said it himself in order to gain his trust......

It wasn't anything special, at least not that Zorro thought. He was concerned about something else - the Extreme Agents had been tasked with this mission might not be for Doctor Doom, but probably for Hydra. If the latter is the case, then Zorro's intuition that in addition to Dr. Doom is related to another person he knows, is probably a reality.

Well, that's not intuition, it's speculation -- rather absurd. Also, the "other person" here does not refer to anyone in the Hydra - in the Hydra, Zorro knows a hand that can be counted.

So, outside of Hydra, but related to Hydra, if Zorro knows it, who is it?

"As far as I know, it's only been a long time since your Extreme Agent project was created, right?" Zorro asked suddenly.

Although I don't know why Zorro asked this, it's not a secret, so Sander replied directly: "It really goes back to more than two years ago." But back then it was just a small fight - at least more than it is now. I was told I was the first Extreme Agent, and I was only active locally. Later, our founder also told me that I was not the only Extreme Agent, and that there were other people who were doing something for the local people in their own places. It's kind of like the current Spider-Man, it's just not that high-profile. Of course, we didn't encounter that many superpower challenges. We usually deal with more ordinary criminals. ”

Zorro interjected: "So it's more like Green Arrow and Batman." ”

Sander thought for a moment, nodded, and continued, "Then more than half a year ago, our founders gathered us together and told us that we needed to be involved in bigger things, to make our abilities more useful. Well, this is our fourth collective mission. ”

Hearing this, Zorro was thoughtful—in fact, he had been thinking about it all along.

"Can you tell me who your founder is, maybe he's someone I know."

As with the aforementioned Extreme Agent project, the identity of the project's founder is not a major secret. If you want to find out, you can still find it with some time, especially now that the entire network is held hostage by the neuroticism of Ultron, no one knows when the secret will be revealed. Still, Sander hesitated. Again, their internal atmosphere is quite good, and they will definitely not betray their own people.

Eventually, however, Zorro learns the name of the founder of the Xtreme Project, Augustus Gibbons. And what he used to "buy" the other party was exactly what the other party wanted to find out.

"You're saying that Doctor Doom knows magic, and it was he who used magic to control those past members of the Hydra faction, so that Hydra's von Straker always thought that their control of Latvia was going well, and he didn't suspect it, but was kicked out by Doctor Doom in the end?" Xander said in surprise. "Well, mind control is also one of our guesses. But we didn't expect it to be magic, we just thought it was superpower. ”

"It seems that you, like Straker, are planted in Doom's hidden magical abilities." Zorro smiled. "But my guess is that he's not using mind control. Not to mention whether he can do mind control magic, if it is only mind control, in the face of this kind of superpower that has not appeared once or twice, von Straker must be wary. So, I'm more inclined to have Durm unleash some kind of illusion on the former members of Hydra sent by von Straker, making them think that they had fulfilled von Straker's demands. ”

In fact, during the previous interview with Doctor Doom, if Zorro hadn't told him the fact that the other party could do magic at the beginning, I don't think the other party would have told him the truth about his pit on Hydra. Speaking of which, Zorro was still surprised by the other party's confession at the time, but now that he thinks about it, he just turned his passivity into initiative and his weaknesses into strengths - flaws into bargaining chips.

Let's just say, Doctor Doom is a hero!

"But...... Why do you want to know who our founders are? Taking advantage of Zorro's distraction, Betsy asked embarrassedly under the strong request expressed by her teammates with their eyes. That's not a big secret, and he's always only determined the objectives and general direction of the mission, and basically doesn't interfere with our operations. So, if you want ......"

"There are no ifs as you think. Again, I'm more curious. Zorro smiled at her as he pulled out his phone and tapped it on. Also, I'm validating a guess that might be a bit ridiculous. At that, he paused, then lit up his phone screen in front of Betsy and her teammates. Augustus Gibbons, right, is this it? ”

What is displayed on the phone is a photo. If you had to prefix this photo, it would be the one that "made a bunch of extreme agents eat a pound."

Under Zorro's interested gaze, the Extreme agents were silent for several seconds, then whispered a few words. In the end, it was Betsy who had the best relationship with Zorro who spoke: "Where did you find this photo?" He's Gibbons, but we've never seen him look like that. It's not going to be a Halloween ......"

Now Zorro smiled even brighter: "Because he is not Augustus Gibbons at all." To be precise, he wasn't called that when he was photographed. ”

"Then ...... him"

"When I met him, he was the head of S.H.I.E.L.D., called Nick Fury."

"But isn't the former head of S.H.I.E.L.D. dead? Although the news was not on TV at the time, it was everywhere on the Internet! ”

Seeing that Betsy still didn't believe it—and couldn't believe it—Zorro calmly took out his phone, knocked it again, and then handed it to the other party again.

"Yes, a lot of people thought he was dead, including his men, but I don't think so. See, this is the original Internet rumor, pay attention to that date. Sander, I remember I said that you were all scattered around the world before, and then you started gathering more than half a year ago, right? It seems that Nick Fury, who 'died' in the position of director of S.H.I.E.L.D., finally has time to think of you! ”

If it was just "eating a pound" before, now the extreme agents can eat the whole mountain - no, it's a big pear......

As mentioned before, even Zorro himself thought it was a very ridiculous guess. But once it is proven to be true, it seems to become less ridiculous, and even taken for granted. Ahem, without it, Augustus Gibbons in the "Extreme Agent" series in his previous life is the same actor as Nick Fury in the MCU......

What a weird world, isn't it?
