……

“…… I've been friends with him for life, and just as Pierce knows my style, I know him too. It's like we're in a mirror, and we can see everything in the mirror, except for some of the deepest secrets......"

“…… Pierce is good at layout, which is his strength, but also his style. What he likes and is good at the most is to spend a certain amount of time laying everything out in a silent and secret way, and finally completely unraveling the layout and burying the enemy......"

“…… If you are hostile to him, you must not be led by the nose by him, even if you take a risk, you must forcibly shift the pace of development of things to your side. Even if the magnitude of the deviation is not large, we must have a certain amount of initiative......"

“…… It's not hard to guess what his purpose is, it's nothing more than the old Hydra. S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra have been entangled and competed for so many years, and we know all too well what kind of organization it is, and what kind of crazy people are in this organization. Even after decades, the belief in their dominion over this world is still unquenchable. The only thing that is hard to guess is how they will achieve this this purpose this time......"

“…… Even if I don't want to admit it, I have to admit that Pierce is a tough opponent for the cunning. He has endured for decades, laid out for decades, and must have held a powerful hole card in his hand, a hole card that can be strong enough to turn the tables at any moment. And this hole card may have been held by him, or is about to be held by him, otherwise, he will not show any hindsight and suspicious behavior......"

“…… The information I've been investigating during this time is limited to Pym Tech and Worthington Labs, of course. Perhaps there is also Trask Industries in the middle. And it's hard to define whether these companies are already controlled by Hydra or just collaborators in the dark......"

“…… I had Agent Maria Hill look through the tech projects of these companies, including hidden ones, but nothing could be seen. This means that the other side is either playing with us as fools, which is a trick. Either there's something we've overlooked, or we've been hidden. With limited manpower, we can't go any further, otherwise we're bound to be wary of the old fox Pierce before everything is ready. What we're doing this time is to wipe him and his Hydra out of the picture, not just one of the first ......."

“…… It's a sensitive time, and it's impossible to continue the investigation without alarming the other party, so what we need to do is get Pierce's attention. Before he opens his hole cards, take him first, and destroy as many unopened hole cards as possible in his hand. Of course, it would be better if you could find out what the hole cards in the opponent's hand were......"

“…… I have a very good shot candidate, Agent Jasper Sitwell. In recent years, due to the soaring status and rank of the other party within S.H.I.E.L.D., he is quite favored by Pierce. He might know something. And you know, I don't have a handful of people to delegate and trust......"

……

Watching the hand holding the wine glass tremble constantly. Jasper Sitwell, whose glass was full of wine splashed out in disarray, couldn't help but think of what Nick Fury had said to him that day.

"Have you figured out where to go?" Meng Ao pulled a chair and sat down across from Jasper Sitwell. Comfortably adjusted his posture on the chair, his hands and ten fingers crossed in front of his lower abdomen, with a leisurely face, behind him, was Goliath standing like a door god.

Meng Ao speculated on what made Jasper Sitwell perform so aberrantly. In addition to the pressure brought to him by his own words, Goliath's huge intimidating size and terrifying face were not exempted.

In Meng Ao's own heart, Goliath is of course a very good and well-behaved good boy, who works hard and does it when there is danger, but he is placed in an outsider. Especially in the eyes of Jasper Sitwell, who was under pressure after being held hostage, even if Goliath didn't do anything, it was enough to give him an extremely strong sense of crisis, because Goliath's ugly face and body shape, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a terrifying thing that will pounce on him and beat him up in the next moment, or simply treat him as food.

"I'll be killed by Pierce afterwards." Jasper Sitwell just repeated the previous words.

"You think Pierce will have the last laugh? Why? With him mastering half of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s elite armed forces? You should know that when Storm and I stand against him, the S.H.I.E.L.D. tyrants and cloaked soldiers will become a kind of ornament. It's not just leeches in Worthington labs that can deal with those X genotype coatings. Meng Ao unhurriedly took Jasper Sitwell's words, and only when the other party was flustered could he get some information from Jasper Sitwell's mouth that would be inadvertently revealed.

As for letting the White Queen Emma take action, it was too unexpected, as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent like Jasper Sitwell and a high-level spy of Hydra, it was impossible to deal with psychic mutants like Professor X and White Queen Emma Frost without targeted countermeasures. Most of them have undergone some targeted transformation and reinforcement, as well as torture.

Perhaps Emma, the White Queen, was able to force her way through Jasper Sitwell's memories, but Meng Ao speculated that those memories were absolutely scattered and disorderly. It's like a system hard drive that has lost its root directory and logically crashed. Of course, it's okay to influence the other person's emotions, test the lie, or even put the other person into an illusion. And Emma, the White Queen, who deliberately hid in the shadows, is doing this now.

If a psychic master like Professor X wants to construct a realistic psychic illusion, he can spend some time and energy to dig out a lot of secrets from the mouths of high-level agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. who are trapped in the illusion. This depends on how realistic the illusion constructed by Professor X is at that time, and how sensitive the observation of the senior agent who fell into the illusion is. After all, illusions are all artificially constructed, and people may have some omissions, once the observant person discovers the omission and realizes that he is in a kind of illusionary realm, he wants to achieve the purpose of revealing the secret. It's even more rare.

Meng Ao gently wanted Jasper Sitwell to say more, but Jasper Sitwell was already alert to the fact that his state was wrong, and no matter how Meng Ao asked, he began to keep silent. After a few more tests, Meng Ao stood up with a sigh.

"It seems that I am not suitable for this delicate skill of torture, and perhaps I should use it in a different way. Or maybe another torture master to pry your mouth open? What about Agent Natasha Romanoff? I think you know this colleague of yours well, and you know her mastery of interrogation. ”

Jasper Sitwell's face turned pale again, "You won't." ”

"Won't anything?" Meng Ao smiled with satisfaction at Jasper Sitwell's reopening.

"Won't let Agent Romanoff come here." Jasper Sitwell said calmly.

"So sure?"

"Although I don't know what you're going to do next, Pierce knows all about my itinerary and tracks during this time. I don't know how long I've been in a coma, but I know very well that Pierce must be looking for me all over the world right now. In the case that no clues can be found in the early stage. He will inevitably scout and keep an eye on people like Iron Man Tony Stark, Maria Hill, Phil Coulson, and the Avengers like Natasha Romanoff and Hawkeye Clint Patton. You're definitely among those who focus on screening and monitoring.

If you don't want to expose this place, you shouldn't let any of these people come here, because they probably have several little tails hanging from the back of their butts right now. Of course, maybe they can shake off those tails. But there can also be unexpected situations that you don't want to think about. ”

Jasper Sitwell now seems to have shaken off the psychic influence of Emma Frost, the White Queen, who had amplified his inner panic and panic, once he sensed that something was wrong. He was immediately able to find a variety of ways to quell the effects from his training.

"It's a pity." Meng Ao spread his hands on the chair.

Jasper Sitwell nervously and vigilantly watched Meng Ao, who stood up with his arm on the arm of his chair, and watched as he walked to the center of the room and levitated his hand. With a buzz, a cylindrical metal can rose from the floor at Meng Ao's feet, touched the palm of Meng Ao's palm hanging in the air, and stopped.

"Do you know why it's you and someone else?" Meng Ao touched the body of the can sideways, ignoring Jasper Sitwell's nervous expression, "Because you are the most likely to have access to certain secrets." And there is no such courage as dying for the hydra. ”

Jasper Sitwell vaguely felt that something was wrong, and sure enough, the next moment, Meng Ao saw the picture of Chiguoguo.

"Do you want to be killed by Pierce afterwards, or do you want me to get rid of it now?"

"You can't!" Jasper Sitwell screamed, he really heard the seriousness in Meng Ao's tone! What's even more terrifying. He really knew that Meng Ao had the ability and confidence to kill a high-level S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and calm down afterwards without leaving trouble.

As Meng Ao said, he did not have the noble consciousness of giving his life for Hydra, or rather for Pierce. He is only a coward and speculator who is seduced and degraded step by step, discovers some secrets, and believes that Hydra will eventually control the world, and wants to win a future.

"I can." To Jasper Sitwell's scream, Meng Ao just replied coldly. His fingers tapped lightly on the top of the metal can, and there was a slight buzzing sound, like a person peeling off his clothes, and the metal on the surface of the metal can also faded downward, revealing the transparent glass jar wrapped in the metal outer can.

"You may know that there was a big event in Great Britain recently, a big event comparable to the alien invasion in Manhattan, New York. I got a good thing in this big incident, look at it, how cute. ”

Jasper Sitwell's gaze involuntarily followed Meng Ao's words to the transparent glass jar beside him, some of which flowed with strange light, flowing like liquid, and the metal fixed inside a metal shell was buried in the white sand that filled half of the tank's space.

He looked at it carefully for a moment, and finally didn't see a reason, so he swept his puzzled gaze towards Meng Ao. He didn't know why Meng Ao had let him see this, and he didn't think there was anything nice about some metal shards and half a jar of sand. Even those liquid-like metals are ultra-rare metals that have not yet been formed and solidified, the Edelman alloy.

"Don't look, listen carefully." Meng Ao put his fingers in front of his lips and made a silent gesture. Jasper Sitwell focused his attention on his ears for some reason. For a moment, in a trance, he seemed to hear a faint click, like a group of silkworms devouring mulberry leaves. But the sound was hazy, extremely slight, so slight that Jasper Sitwell thought he was hallucinating his hearing.

He tentatively approached a little in the direction of the glass jar, and sure enough, the hazy and fluttering sound seemed to be a little clearer, and when he got a little closer, the sound was finally no longer the illusory hazy feeling, but a little more able to make people feel its reality, even without reminder, ordinary people would still ignore this slight sound.

Looking at the metal that was sinking a little bit into the sand at an extremely slight speed, Jasper Sitwell felt a chill down his spine, and a huge shadow that covered the sky and the sun covered his mind with a suffocating sense of difficulty.

"Are they alive?" Jasper Sitwell looked at Meng Ao with a shudder, trying to get some answers from him.

"Of course it's alive." Meng Ao gave the answer.

"Where are they?" Jasper Sitwell almost groaned in panic, a terrifying conjecture that had been swirling in his mind before, like a terrifying giant chapter that wanted to peek out of the sea to make waves, swallowing a large number of bubbles and floating up.

"Of course they're eating." Meng Ao proudly uttered the terrible conjecture that Jasper Sitwell did not dare to say.

"They feed on Edman?" Jasper Sitwell never imagined that his voice would one day be so sharp, so incredible, so terrifying! The strength of the Edelman alloy, with what humans know about the outside world today, is extremely powerful even in the existing cosmic civilizations that have been in contact. This metal is so powerful that it becomes indestructible once shaped! Jasper Sitwell had never heard of a creature that fed on metals like Edelman.

"Obviously." Meng Ao patted the jar, "It's not easy to cultivate them, although they like to devour all kinds of rare minerals and metals the most, but they are not averse to changing their tastes and eating some flesh and blood. They are still small in number and slow to eat. A living person can be eaten by them for a long time if they have metal to eat. At least a few hours. This is much more painful than the so-called Ling Chi and other punishments. ”

Meng Ao looked at Jasper Sitwell very seriously: "Last chance, either you tell me honestly about Pierce's plan, or I'll give them you as food to improve the rations." You know I'm usually very talkative. ”

"Apocalypse! It's the apocalypse! ”

Jasper Sitwell's cold sweat almost spread across his forehead, and he hissed and screamed. (To be continued.) )
