Night, Trenton, inside a standard American-style community home.

A middle-aged white couple, looking at their daughter in the children's room, holding a plastic doll and sleeping peacefully, looked at each other and smiled, and gently closed the door.

Soon after the door closed, in the dark room, the plastic doll that was surrounded by the little girl suddenly opened its eyes!

He gently broke the little girl's arms around him, climbed out of the enclosure of the children's bed, jumped off, crept over to the patchwork foam crawling mat, and turned on the lamp.

The light of the lamp shone on the crawling mat, which was littered with little girl's drawing paper, full of childlike graffiti.

The plastic doll took out a blank piece of paper, picked up a crayon, thought for a moment, imitated the little girl's doodles, and began to scribble on the white paper.

……

Early the next morning, leaving their sleeping daughter to the nanny, the middle-aged white couple drove to work.

In the urban area, the narrow and dirty lanes, a row of old red brick houses in the old city, and inconspicuous signboards that say so-and-so decoration company look very deserted.

The couple carried a briefcase, walked into this small company, smiled and nodded with the security guard, walked through the front desk and passage familiarly, and walked into an ordinary empty room, the husband reached out and pressed an inconspicuous button on the wall, the wall suddenly cracked, revealing a metal device with a strong sense of science and technology, and the couple verified the pupil, fingerprints and voices in turn, and the wall next to it cracked a big hole, and inside was the elevator car.

The couple walked into the elevator, and the elevator door slowly closed.

The elevator sank all the way, and I don't know where it sank, and the elevator door opened again.

What catches your eye is a bright and spacious rotunda with silver-gray metal decoration, and the whole is a modern style of science and technology, with all kinds of people dressed in it.

The couple walked to a security checkpoint and placed their briefcases on the security turnstile, a conveyor belt carried the two briefcases into the X-ray machine, and they walked through the security gate and raised their arms to receive routine body searches and metal detectors by uniformed officers.

When the middle-aged woman was being searched by the security personnel, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of the briefcase on the computer screen next to the security X-ray machine, and was slightly stunned.

Hey?

How is my daughter's doll doll in my bag?

The staff in charge of checking the X-ray machine fluoroscopy results saw the outline of this plastic doll was also very strange, what to do with a doll to work, but there were only a few springs inside, and there were no extra metal objects, and even the sounder and battery were dismantled, and they didn't think much about it, so they let it go.

After the briefcase passed through the security X-ray machine, the middle-aged woman walked over and opened it, looking at the plastic doll in front of her, which had been crushed and deformed, with a crumpled painting in front of the doll.

The middle-aged woman picked up the painting and looked at it, covered her chest at once, and whispered in her mouth:

“Ohhh…… My sweetheart. ”

She hurriedly called out to her husband, who had passed through the security check first and was walking inside.

"John, come here, come and see!"

The husband walked back, took the painting from his wife's hand, looked at it, his eyes softened all of a soften, he put his hand around his wife's shoulder, and said:

"My dear, our daughter is so cute."

"Hmm." The wife nodded again and again and said:

"She left us her favorite dolls."

The white paper is smeared with crooked and whimsical crayon graffiti, although it is very abstract, but the two adults still roughly understand:

The daughter compares the doll to her patron saint, and the father and mother fight monsters very hard, and the daughter gives the doll to her parents to protect them.

The couple did not suspect him, took the doll and walked into their office, put the doll on the workstation, and began to be busy.

Although the two are only low-level clerks of S.H.I.E.L.D., their daily work is still busy, and 90% of the world's intelligence work is to find clues from all kinds of public information, on the contrary, assassination, rebellion, and infiltration, these special services are the small head of intelligence work, even if it is S.H.I.E.L.D., which is responsible for dealing with superpowers and supernatural events.

The middle-aged woman was immersed in the vast amount of paperwork and data analysis, and from time to time she had to consult video materials, and when she worked in the afternoon, she was already dizzy, and went to the toilet to pick up a cup of coffee.

Upton's steps gently weaved through the gaps between the corners of his desk and the various metal filing cabinets.

He poked his head out of the office door and glanced down the hallway to locate the surveillance probe.

Seeing a cleaner pushing the cleaning cart past, Upton retracted his head, and the moment the cart passed by the office door, he jumped into the gap between the plastic basket containing the mop and broom cleaner and the trash can.

After confirming that there was no one in the cleaning car, I walked through the corridor full of monitoring probes, got off at the door of the toilet, and after confirming that there was no one, I climbed and jumped on the toilet and handrail of the disabled pit one after another, stood at the top of the toilet partition, took out the paper cutter from the office from my pocket, and began to carefully remove the screws at the four corners of the wire grid on the ventilation duct.

After the plastic doll got into the ventilation duct, it pulled in the wire mesh and covered it backwards from the inside.

Upton crawled deeper along the ventilation duct.

There are no infrared probes and laser rays in the ventilation ducts like other spy movies.

Because the narrow ventilation ducts simply can't accommodate an adult crawling inside, and the square aluminum pipe suspended by wire can't bear the weight of an adult, not even a child.

But plastic dolls can.

Upton crawls around a complex system of pipes, looking for a path to the depths.

Along the way, Upton looked down through the wire grid and saw some signal jammers and hidden cameras disguised as fire alarms on the ceiling.

Upton Dupont recalls a text message he had with Aoyama the night before his departure.

Upton told Fu Qinghai that he was about to infiltrate the stronghold, felt that the mobile phone was too conspicuous, and wanted Fu Qinghai to make a miniature communication device for himself.

But it was vetoed by Fu Qinghai.

Castle peak:

"Upton, there must be all kinds of signal blocking devices and detection devices in the secret stronghold, it's useless for you to bring them in, in order to prevent the detection of metal detectors, you even have to take out the music sounder in your body, you can use your eyes to see, to record, and then tell me the results when you come out."

Upton now thinks Aoyama was simply too prescient, but thankfully he didn't bring any electronic devices with him.

Judging by the complex ventilation ducts and these hidden monitoring devices, this stronghold is not the S.H.I.E.L.D. office that the middle-aged couple calls it out for, and there may be deep secrets inside.

Even the two clerical couples don't know about the deeper secrets.

Upton only informed Fu Qinghai of the location he was about to enter in advance, and agreed that if he still didn't contact him after three days, Fu Qinghai would come to save people.

Now in the way of Upton is a new conundrum.

A rapidly rotating ventilation fan.

The plastic doll stood in front of the ventilation fan, looking at the sharp fan blades spinning rapidly in front of him, and the oncoming wind blew his brown and yellow hair flying.

Upton hesitated.

"I'm not going to be chopped......"

The ghost baby muttered to herself.

Upton didn't know how to get through this ventilation fan, he carefully recalled the plot in the movie "The Ghost Baby Returns", the male protagonist Ghost Baby Chachi was thrown into the fireplace, half of his body was burned, his face was burned and melted, and he was still alive.

"Damn, fight!"

Upton gritted his teeth, took two steps back to run, and rushed into the ventilation fan with his head down.

"Bang bang bang!"

The fan blade hit the plastic doll's body, causing him to scream miserably:

"Ahhhh

Finally, the plastic doll, which was ragged, with horse-gnawed hair and scratches all over its body, was thrown out of the other side of the ventilation fan.

He lay down in the ventilation duct, took a breath, got up again, and continued to walk inside.

He didn't know how many floors he had reached, and when Upton came down from the ventilation duct again, he noticed that the décor had changed.

The walls, floors, and ceilings are encased in metal steel plates, and heavily armed soldiers patrol and researchers in white coats walk around.

Where is this?

Upton wondered.

Upton, who crept out of the toilet, repeated his trick when a white-coated researcher dragged a small cart past, deftly leaping to his feet and hiding between the gaps in the stacks of black boxes on the cart.

He cowered in the crack and found that the black boxes were emblazoned with letters——. M., in addition to the yellow and black trilobe radiation warning signs.

. M. Pioneer, Upton remembers that Tsingshan mentioned the company.

It is currently secretly affiliated with Hydra.

It seems that this is a secret base controlled by Hydra, yes.

Upton thought to himself.

Then he hid everywhere, using all kinds of experimental consumables and large equipment stacked here, drilling under the equipment, squeezing from behind the cabinets, avoiding the eyes and ears of the patrol officers, and gradually penetrated into the interior of this research institute-like base.

Upton made his way to the innermost room, where the hallway had a sign that read "Extremely Dangerous, No Entry", and there were no soldiers or researchers in the passageway.

What is it that is so dangerous?

Upton was excited, and he felt that he was about to discover the true killer of Hydra.

Recall the large devices and radiation signs you saw outside......

Could it be some kind of super-nuclear weapon? One is the kind that equalizes the world?

Upton secretly guessed in his heart, and he tiptoed, step by step, cautiously to the door of the room.

It was a glass door, and Upton was leaning on the doorway, looking in.

Instantly showed a strange expression.

In this room marked "Extremely Dangerous, No Entry".

Upton first saw a corner of the room.

It seems to be a warm and lovely room for a little girl, which is furnished with a beautiful princess bed, curtains, carpets, rocking horses, all kinds of small toys scattered on the ground, slides, building blocks, small trains, and little girls' favorite dolls, fairy tale books, etc., the color of the bed is also pink and goose yellow, and it is also printed with cute cartoon patterns.

This......

Upton was stunned.

"Extremely dangerous, forbidden to enter"??

Is this some kind of irony, meaning that it is more dangerous for a bear child to cry than a nuclear bomb?

Does Hydra have such humor?

Upton couldn't help but be curious, moved his body, and looked further into the room from a different angle.

Then Upton Dupont swore that he had seen a scene that he would never forget—

A man with a hideous red skull, dressed in a loose printed nightgown, lying on the bed, holding a fairy tale book in his hand, is telling a bedtime story to a little black-haired girl lying next to him with a gentle and kind face.

The Red Skull is still alive?!

That was the first thing that shocked Upton.

He clearly remembered that Fu Qinghai told him that there were no red skulls in the Hydra Supreme Council, and that the current leader of Hydra was Baron Straker.

Has Baron Straker managed to resurrect the Red Skull?

So why didn't the Red Skull go out and preside over the big picture?

Hydra is now in turmoil, people are panicking, even high-level people such as Mrs. Viper, are thinking about getting off the boat and breaking up, Red Skull is the founder of modern Hydra, Captain America's lifelong enemy, with his prestige, he can definitely maintain the current crumbling Hydra and stabilize the whole situation.

Why is he hiding here?

Also, can anyone tell me who this little black-haired girl next to me is again?

This was the second thing that shocked Upton.

Is this Red Skull his daughter?

Haven't you heard that Red Skull has a daughter?

Red Skull, one of the most evil people in the Marvel Universe, an anti-social, anti-human supervillain, and a Nak-Pure war criminal who has committed many crimes and caused many massacres......

Kindly telling a little girl a bedtime story?

Moreover, Why isn't Red Skull's daughter a Little Red Skull?

Upton had 10,000 grooves to vomit in his heart.

in the room.

John Schmidt the Red Skull said softly:

"—In this way, Hydra became the most powerful terrorist organization in the world, and the Red Skull rightfully became their leader, and they lived happily ever after, forever, and over."

With that, he closed the storybook in his hand.

The little girl held an octopus-headed rag doll in her left hand and the neck of the red skull in her right hand, and said coquettishly:

"Again, again, please!"

Suddenly, the little girl stopped coquettishly, pointed to the door of the room, and said:

"Daddy, there's a live plastic doll out there."

"Huh?"

The red skull looked up, and the outside of the glass door was empty, and there was nothing.

"Okay, baby, there's no living plastic doll in this world, you can make one for yourself if you want."

Red Skull didn't think much of it, but continued:

"Then let's tell us about what happened next......

Outside the door, Upton leaned against the wall, his face frightened, his small chest heaving, gasping for breath.

It's so dangerous, I was almost discovered.

She can sense my existence, that little girl is not simple!
