182.竜が我が敵を喰らう (unrelated to the title)
"Understood!" The agents stood and said in unison.
"Perform the task." Nick Fury said, looking at the agents.
"Yes." The agents nodded.
At the end of the meeting, the agents left the conference room one after another, Nick Fury also returned to his office after taking a look at Captain America's situation, he turned on the computer, and played back the footage recorded by Natasha during the mission, after repeating it several times, Nick Fury found a situation, that is, when Natasha scanned the appearance of these people, the mutant thugs behind Kim were actually staring at Natasha, which proves that there are two possibilities, one is that Natasha was discovered by him, The second is where Natasha appears is something he had already anticipated, and whatever the case may be, this guy is a breakthrough.
"Looks like we're going to get in touch with Stryker." Nick Fury thought to himself, he froze the picture on the mutant's face, he knew that in terms of mutants, Stryker knew and mastered more than anyone else, because S.H.I.E.L.D. was responsible for too many things, and most of the time they acted as protectors and a balanced and coordinated organization, the main purpose was to protect the safety of the people, and Stryker was different, his purpose was direct and obvious, hunting mutants, brainwashing mutants, and creating humanoid weapons, and the means were extreme and cruel.
Nick Fury's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, and the only sound left in the room was the sound of cooing, and he was now thinking about how to contain Stryker, because once he contacted Stryker, there was no guarantee that Stryker would take advantage of the problem, and if he did, then the relationship between S.H.I.E.L.D. and the X-Men would inevitably be affected.
Because of some previous events, the captain of the X-Men, Cyclops Scott, was already dissatisfied with S.H.I.E.L.D., because Nick Fury asked Professor X to restrain his students, and he told Professor X that S.H.I.E.L.D. would be responsible for fighting the Mutant Brotherhood, and the X-Men would only need to help. Later, for the sake of stability, Nick Fury ordered the agents to send some mutant brotherhood members who were worth "saving" to Professor X, these people were sent over as Nick Fury's sincerity, but unexpectedly, these people didn't know how to pass on the information, so that Magneto found here, snatched a lot of teenagers and children, and also injured many teachers and boys and girls who resisted, both sides thought the other was responsible, However, Scott, as the captain, is clearly opposed to S.H.I.E.L.D. this time. Because Magneto also injured Jean Gray, which was one of the reasons why he completely opposed S.H.I.E.L.D., he felt the need to protect his fellow citizens instead of relying on others, and his statement was actually agreed by many people, although they still agreed to live in peace with humans. However, Nick Fury knew that if he was instigated by someone with a heart, maybe they would also demand the establishment of a special zone or something, which he did not want to see.
Nick Fury is reluctant to expand things. He knew that he was not afraid of threats and war, but he knew what S.H.I.E.L.D. was responsible for. And what is the cost of war. So he temporarily chose to compromise, he asked S.H.I.E.L.D. to silence some voices against mutants, and secretly promoted a lot of heroic deeds about the X-Men, which he was courting Professor X. He knew how terrible this old man in a wheelchair was, he was doing the right thing on his own terms, and he couldn't guarantee that Professor X wouldn't change. So his attitude towards mutants is to strive for stability, and he knows deep down that neither S.H.I.E.L.D. nor the Security Council are ready for war. Now that there is a peaceful option, Nick Fury naturally wants to hold on to this straw tightly and prevent him from joining another camp and becoming the straw that crushes human society.
Nick Fury's fingers stopped, he picked up the phone, he had already made a decision, he wanted to contact Stryker, because the internal problems of S.H.I.E.L.D. needed to be solved immediately, and there could be no hesitation. "Stryker? I'm Nick Fury, and I have something to talk to you about. As soon as the phone was connected, Nick Fury said that he was going to take the lead, to press Stryker with momentum, and to take the initiative in the topic.
"It's me." Stryker's voice came from the other end of the line. He just replied simply, he was going to deal with Nick Fury with silence.
The communication between the two has been interrupted for about ten seconds, and in these ten seconds, the two have no communication, they are waiting for the other party to speak, because in this case, whoever speaks first will be weakened in momentum, and then be held the initiative in this conversation.
"I need a copy of the mutant here." Nick Fury was the first to speak.
"Hehe, no problem, who do you want from who?" Stryker said.
"I don't know the name, only the photo." Nick Fury said.
"It's okay, but it's a lot more troublesome, there are not enough people recently, and the speed of computer inspection is not good, so you have to wait a lot." Stryker said with a smile.
"S.H.I.E.L.D. will help you, but precision instruments always need to be escorted and adjusted, and if you don't mind, my agents will help you." Nick Fury said tentatively.
"No, do your agents need help from my men? They have a set of ways to deal with mutants. Stryker said that he would rather go it alone, at least if S.H.I.E.L.D. loosened its grip on him, or he would not be able to do anything if he wanted to.
"Even though they're busy, they should still be able to complete the task on their own." Nick Fury said coldly.
"That's good, just in time I can let my men go on other missions." Stryker tentatively said that he wanted to see how Nick Fury reacted.
"What an eventful time." Nick Fury said that he acquiesced to Stryker's actions, and although they were not superiors, S.H.I.E.L.D. could oversee him.
"yes, eventful." Stryker chimed in. "I'll tell the soldiers to hurry up and see if they can find him, I recently got a piece of information that some abandoned warehouses have been bought and remodeled, and that there are plenty of daily necessities stored there, are your agents interested?" Stryker knew Nick Fury's attitude, and he chose to let Nick Fury join the operation, and he had already discovered Magneto's "base" in many ways, because his subordinates were not just soldiers, and some mutants had the ability to predict, albeit only in fragments. But piecing it together can give you an answer that is close to the truth.
"I'll have my agents assist you, and I'll give you satellite help." Nick Fury said.
"Thank you very much." Stryker thanked Nick Fury, but he didn't think so, "You still need to use satellites, this guy is really beep-" Stryker cursed a few words in his heart, but his purpose had been achieved, and he was now ready for the operation. "I'm busy with military affairs, so I won't talk to you more." Stryker said, hanging up, though they hadn't yet discussed the timing of the shipment and the details of the operation. However, he knew that these things would naturally be completed by the subordinates on both sides, and Stryker would not be exhaustive except for some private work, and he spent most of his time on communicating with Jason, but not the kind of father-son talk, but non-stop and repeated brainwashing.
Stryker picked up the report on his desk, and he looked at the month's expenses, and he saw that the use of sedatives during the month was very high. It was even higher than the previous two months combined, and the amount frightened him. "It seems that we need to strengthen the control, especially the psyche, and hire more hypnotists."
Stryker has a new plan. While maintaining a tacit understanding with Nick Fury, he has to do something else that is to be hidden from anyone, but he doesn't have enough manpower right now. So he had to endure for a while.
As soon as Nick Fury put down the phone, a new message popped up on his computer screen, which was sent to him by Whistler. "Norma has sent his men out of the country. Looks like he's looking for something. "Such a message surfaced on the encrypted channel.
"Do you know what it is?" Nick Fury replies to Whistler.
"I don't know." Whistler replied, "You should have a way to find them, right?" ”
"If their data doesn't change much, we should be able to find some clues." Nick Fury replied. Because the body temperature of the R-type variant vampire is much higher than that of humans, and their heartbeat is much higher than that of humans, if some means are used, they should still be able to find it. "Do you have any other clues?" Nick Fury asked.
"I'll look for it." Whistler replied. "Boy, what other clues?" Whistler turned and asked, just now Blade found out that he was exchanging information with others, so he didn't avoid Blade, or he couldn't avoid Blade anymore.
"Desert." Blade thought for a moment and said, "I remember Nissa telling me that Norma had once again revealed something to her that they and their allies had found in the desert. Blade did his best to restore what Princess Nissa had said.
"Desert." Whistler told Nick Fury about the keyword.
"I see." Nick Fury replied that he was going to focus on scanning every desert with a satellite. "Thank you for your help." Nick Fury tapped on the keyboard and thanked Whistler.
"I want you to do things faster, and I have to be careful when I buy cigarettes on the street now." Whistler replied that he was urging Nick Fury to be arrested.
"Don't worry." Nick Fury replied.
Whistler watched the sign representing Nick Fury leave the encrypted channel, he picked up the cigarette case on the edge of the table, put one to his mouth, took a lighter in his trouser pocket, lit the cigarette, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled a few smoke rings. "Hehe, I know you have something to ask me, boy." He held the cigarette in his hand and looked at the blade in front of him.
"Can you tell me about it?" Blade asked.
"This is before I met you, you also know John Rogers, he saved my life when I was younger, but then I also went back, it was a mess at that time, but it was also at that time, the vampires were completely hidden in the dark, living with us, the hunters and S.H.I.E.L.D. joined forces and forced them to make a compromise decision, but it was a compromise between the two sides, to ensure that there was no large-scale war between us." Whistler smiled self-deprecatingly, "We're humans, and we're compromising with those monsters, but there's no way around it, our losses are much worse than theirs, and if it weren't for the daylight, we'd have lost a long time ago." He threw the cigarette butt to the ground and stomped it a few times, as if it were a vampire he had hunted.
"You remember a little bit about when you were a kid, right?" Whistler asked.
Blade nodded and said, "Yes." ”
"Do you remember the stage when you went crazy again, then got knocked unconscious, and finally started to get rid of the blood?" Whistler's eyes lit up with a look of remembrance.
"Yes." Blade nodded. "I remember that I was locked up in the house alone for half a month, and I still had to eat garlic every day." Blade gives a bad smile at the mention of garlic because he doesn't like garlic and smiles because he survived it on his own, and Whistler didn't give up on him at the time.
"I was the one who knocked you out, but then the person who brought you something with a hood was John Rogers, you looked like a little monster when you went crazy at that time, I can't beat you, unless I want to kill you, or I really can't subdue you." Whistler smiled, dry and helpless.
"So, you've been working with S.H.I.E.L.D. for a long time?" Blade looked at Whistler.
"It's not just me, every witcher who has been recorded by S.H.I.E.L.D. has been in contact with S.H.I.E.L.D., but no one can directly contact Nick Fury like me, although the organization of witchers is loose, but there is still a leader." Whistler said to Blade, his tone full of remembrance and pride.
"Looks like you're the leader." Blade looked at Whistler with a lot of stares.
"It's been a few days, and I can't fight those mongrels now, and in a few years, I won't be able to hold the gun if I don't listen to it." Whistler smiled helplessly, he now had to serve the old age. "You have to keep your notes, these are the experiences of your predecessors." Whistler said solemnly to Blade.
"Y-what do you mean?" Blade thought Whistler's attitude was strange.
"You're going to compete for the next leader, I'll recommend you." Whistler said.
"Me?" Blade's eyes widened.
"Yes." Whistler nodded. "You can inspire countless witchers just by fighting."
"Huh?" Blade was surprised.
