Chapter 4: That Damn Bastard
Early the next morning, Fury waited for a call from Black Widow Natasha Romanoff in his three-curved wing building. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Last night, after negotiating all the details of the commission—all the details that Zorro had let them know—Fury sent Black Widow to be the receptionist, responsible for arranging accommodation and cooperating with the other party's actions. According to the plan, the Romanov should be ready to send the other party to Gotham, where all Akari's passages have been blocked, through S.H.I.E.L.D. Whether it is a success or a failure, there should be a result at this point.
As a result, Romanov's call was a few minutes late.
"What's going on?" As soon as he got on the phone, Fury asked, "Tell me the details." ”
"The details are, he's gone."
"What?!" Fury's face was a little ugly. It was he who facilitated the commission in front of the president in the presence of the military. If the guy who calls himself Zorro really runs away, although he will not have much substantial impact in the short term, he will definitely become the laughing stock of the military, and the president's side will definitely not give him a good face. At that time, the long-term impact will come, and his already modest voice in the face of the United Nations and the Security Council will be further reduced......
On the other end of the phone, Romanov's face was not much better than that of his own director.
"I had arranged for him to stay at our reception last night, but he turned it down on the grounds of a simple and crude 'dislike'. So I had to find him a hotel, check him in, and check him off the lights from the reception desk before leaving. Speaking of which, I still have dark circles under my eyes. And this morning I arrived at the hotel half an hour earlier than the agreed time, only to find that he was not inside. ”
"Luggage?"
"Of course I won't miss that. He didn't have any luggage, just his equipment. Well, it's pretty convenient. ”
"But it's not logical!" Fury frowned and said, "If he doesn't want to take on this task, just refuse us." Why did you spend so much time and energy meeting with us and negotiating with us last night? As for lying to us, we haven't paid us yet. He didn't even ask for a deposit first! ”
"From time to time, he would say something that people didn't understand, and there was not much logic in the first place. Or maybe he's just trying to trick us? Well, he succeeded! Romanov said angrily. Then she thought that it was her boss on the other side of the phone, and she became serious again: "No one saw him leave, and I also sent someone to search the surrounding stores, shopping malls and other places where even the slightest hint of him might reach, and even called all the cameras around, including the hotel - I didn't find it, I confirmed that he didn't walk away by accident." Anyway, he just disappeared from the hotel. ”
"So in addition to 'why,' we have a question, 'How did he do it?'" Touching the stubble on his chin, Fury finally calmed himself down, and asked lightly while thinking about the solution.
Romanov also thought about this question: "In general, it is not possible for him to do this without leaving a trace. But considering that there are more and more superpowers in this world, maybe he is also one of them? In that case, there are many more possible ways to go...... Oh wait, I got an idea! ”
Romanov interrupted the call. It was only a few minutes before Fury heard her voice again.
"I hadn't seen any signs on the façade of the hotel before, so I ruled it out in the first place – I was really dazed. Now I found the indentations left by three pointed objects on a section of the fence on the rooftop of the hotel, and judging by the triangular arrangement between them, the Zorro must have hoisted himself from the twenty-fifth floor to the ground with a hook gun. And that hook gun was supposed to have some sort of recovery mechanism, so no rope was left behind. And, oh, I've found a note on the fence here now...... Oh, that damn bastard! ”
Fury laughed and scolded when he heard Romanoff's last sentence.
"What note? What's on it? ”
"'I'm in there', 'Moroccan circular deep well prison'." Romanov said. It sounded like she was in a better mood.
This made Fury puzzled.
"How did he get to Morocco and what is there? What a circular prison ......"
"No, no, that's not what it meant. First of all, the note is followed by a full stop after 'I'm in it'. Romanov explained, "The Moroccan circular deep well prison in the back should be talking about another person." ”
"What do you mean......"
"Oh, he means, Batman is in a circular deep well prison in Morocco. Regardless of how he knows, according to the only available information, Bain did have been active in Morocco for a while. ”
I'm afraid no one could have imagined in advance that Zorro would leave behind the help of S.H.I.E.L.D. and infiltrate Gotham alone. This is something that none of them can do with Iron Man. Does he want S.H.I.E.L.D. and others to know his strength? Perhaps. Then, people would not have thought that he would play such a play before leaving, leaving a note on the hotel rooftop, which surprised the black widow who came over. And what he left on the note is even more interesting. If the Romanoffs hadn't thought of the possibility of a hook gun, they would have missed the chance to find and rescue Batman. Think about his attitude last night when he talked about asking him to find Batman, is he related to Batman or has a vendetta?
"How do you think he found out where Batman is?" Fury asked Romanov.
"I thought you were more concerned about the authenticity of this location." Romanov smiled, "No matter how he knows, no matter what kind of strength he has, we will always find out this, right." Now, sir, do you need me to find Batman? ”
Fury was a little helpless.
"You'd better keep an eye on Gotham. You seem to be more interested in that Zorro than Batman. ”
"Hehe, sir, you're right."
"Just a few words for address? OK, it's going to take a while to find it. Fury said, "I'll tell the captain and Hawkeye to leave right away, and you can go to the front and wait for Zorro to contact you...... If he's going to get in touch with you. ”
There was no warning in his words. And the Romanovs have long been accustomed to this style of his.
"He's definitely not going to contact me, if it weren't for the last resort. And judging by his performance, he doesn't seem to be too worried about this mission. So, I'm curious to see how things will play out. ”
"I don't care how things turn out, as long as that nuclear weapon doesn't explode." Even though the person on his phone couldn't see it, Fury rolled his eyes, "Since he won't contact you, you have a temporary mission, Agent Romanoff." Based on your observations, assumptions, and impressions about him, complete an assessment report. ”
"I'm still wondering when you're going to talk about it." Romanov was not surprised at all by the other party's order, "Don't worry, I will write this report well." ”
