Chapter 238: Night
The darkness of the night makes people a little panicked. In this deepest darkness, people's vigilance will involuntarily rise to a critical point! Even when you walk down the street, you always feel that in the darkness behind you, there is an empty beast or a strange fear being that is about to move, as if it will pounce from behind you in the next moment.
Two pillars of light, with dusty headlights, pierced through the darkness and came to a halt in front of a deserted abandoned factory. The headlights went out, and an old man in good spirits pushed the car door and walked down. In the darkness, several dark shadows had already greeted them.
"Sir!"
S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Jasper Sitwell greeted the old man respectfully.
"Are our guests okay?" The old man asked as he followed Jasper Sitwell towards the abandoned factory. His face was brightly extinguished in the limited light source. Like Nick Fury's face that has no secrets inside S.H.I.E.L.D., the old man's face is familiar to many people.
Secretary of National Security/Minister, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, member of the World Security Council, and person who automatically obtains the position and authority of the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. when he is unable to preside over the Office - Alexander Pierce.
"He's fine." Jasper Sitwell replied.
"I can't stay long, Lady Viper and Straker are messing things up, and Nick is looking after something like a madman. If it weren't for the world connected by the Cosmic Rubik's Cube that distracted him and most of his men's energy, our lives would have been even more difficult. ”
Alexander Pierce was calm, but his tone was heavy on his face. Whether it was Jasper Sitwell, or those who followed him, they could feel a suffocating pressure and gore from these fluttering words.
Within S.H.I.E.L.D., no one knows better than them what kind of person their current director Nick Fury is! That's a tough and cold-blooded one. Those who will do whatever it takes to achieve their ends! Even though he has shown inexplicable moderation and transformation over the years, the history of his rise has been deeply imprinted on him.
No one wanted to face the cold-blooded side of the one-eyed man again.
"We don't have time to put it off any longer. We've shown a lot of claws over the years, and those claws may not be enough to bring down the entire organization, but they're enough for Nick to get us out. He's a stoic and cunning guy, and as an old friend of his, I know very well what kind of person he really is. I don't know if he still trusts me as much as he used to. But I know very well that if he becomes suspicious of me, he will show that trust until I die, until he is sure enough. ”
"So, no matter what, we can't wait for him to free his hand and turn his attention back to us. We can't hope that he didn't find anything, and he still trusts us. We have to preemptively do something to deal with and prepare before he does. ”
Alexander Pearce's words lifted the spirits of Jasper Sitwell and others.
"Throw out some institutions and organizations that are about to be exposed, and get the attention of the hyenas under Nick's command. Nick's presence has threatened us and the organization. So we have to prepare for the worst, and the last resort. ”
Alexander Pearce went on to mutter, "Hopefully this meeting with our 'guest' will be friendly. ”
Jasper Sitwell led Alexander Pierce into a lift platform that went straight underground, and watched the metal gate above him quietly close, and he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive. He understood the deeper meaning of Minister Pierce's words.
Since Nick's existence has threatened them, the worst and last resort is nothing more than to make the person who threatens them no longer threatened.
Death is the most ideal means of achieving this desire.
But Jasper Sitwell also understands how difficult it will be to take out someone like Nick Fury! And what a big trouble it was afterwards! It takes a lot of planning. It also takes a good amount of timing and luck.
After all, it was the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., who many aliens were happy to assassinate but always failed, a cautious and unpredictable man.
The lift finally came to a slow stop. Jasper Sitwell took one last look up at the metal dome, which was blurred in the white light, and then stepped down the platform with Alexander Pearce.
Anyway, no matter what the plan is, he should know part of it. After all, he has done some things ruthlessly in the past few years, and has raised his agent level to a fairly high level. With his cooperation, his status and rank helped to increase the success rate of the Alexander Pierce program.
Guiding Alexander Pierce through this underground base. Finally stopped in front of a specially built prison.
"What is the status of our 'guests'?" Alexander Pierce asked the observer who was monitoring the special prison.
"He's doing a routine." The person questioned stood up and said respectfully to Alexander Pierce, and switched the surveillance screen to show the prison guests in full view, in front of the likes of Alexander Pierce and Jasper Sitwell.
On the screen, Loki is sitting on a metal bed. His eyes stared at the screen, his lips closed together, as if he was saying something. But the next moment, Loki turned into a beautiful woman again, it was Ada Wang, and then, Ada Wang turned into a cold, bald man with dark skin wearing an eye patch.
Everyone watching the screen recognized the man on the screen, it was S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury!
"Perfect change! Isn't it? Looking at the constantly changing person on the screen, Alexander Pierce had a look of admiration in his eyes: "It's really a surprising change, with the ability to confuse the real from the fake, and make people unable to distinguish the real from the fake." That's the capability we need. ”
"Sir?" Jasper Sitwell glanced at the screen, glancing at his boss.
"Let me talk to him, to this visitor." Alexander Pierce rubbed his hands excitedly and said to Jasper Sitwell, "If he and his ilk can join our plan, then our plan will be almost perfect!" Let me talk to him face to face and talk about our possible cooperation. (To be continued......)
