In the Radiant Alliance's dream base, Charles is in a wheelchair, looking out from the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the streetscape of this tech city created by Stark is very beautiful at night, like a neon city.

But there was not much of a leisurely look on Charles's face, he looked worried, and Schiller came over and handed him a glass of wine, and asked, "What's wrong?" Professor, you've been a little worried from the beginning. ”

Charles sighed and said, "Do you remember what happened in Wakanda before?" ”

"Of course, T'Challa's assassination was taken to a special dimension by his belief in the leopard god Buster, where time stands still, so he won't die of poison for the time being, Stark is working hard to develop an antidote, but progress is a little slow."

"T'Challa has been attacked, the Eric who attacked him has also been captured by you, the dragons of Wakanda are leaderless, and Oloro has gone to Wakanda, but the situation is not optimistic."

"What's wrong? Isn't she T'Challa's lover? ”

"But she's a mutant." Charles's tone was heavy, and he said: "You know, Wakanda is a tribal alliance, and the tribe to which T'Challa belongs is the largest tribe in Wakanda, because T'Challa is more open-minded, so the atmosphere of this tribe is also good, and they don't discriminate against anyone." ”

"But the other tribes are not so open-minded, especially the one to which Eric belongs, which is the second largest tribe in the whole of Wakanda, and they are so repulsive to mutants that they will expel everyone in the territory who has X genes, even children."

Schiller took a sip of wine and said, "We've discussed this issue before, I'm afraid." The public opinion of mutants cannot be reversed in a short period of time, and this is a long-term project. ”

"But the problem now is that I'm afraid it's going to get worse." Charles looked Schiller in the eye and said: Eric attacked T'Challa, neither of them can rule Wakanda, and Orolo the Storm is T'Challa's lover, but she is not his wife, and it is impossible to act as king. ”

"But we can't let the people of the second largest tribe become kings of Wakanda, because if Wakanda, which has a good international reputation, also openly opposes mutants, then the mutants are in a worse situation."

Charles, turning his wheelchair and leaving through the floor-to-ceiling window, said: "Oloro is not right, there are a lot of Wakandans who don't like her very much, and with the promotion of the second largest tribe, almost most of the people of Wakanda are rejecting mutants." ”

"Just yesterday, a Wakanda-born blogger with 2 million followers publicly stated that mutants are invading their country, and that Oloro is an evil Kenyan witch who wants to take over Wakanda in this way......"

"All the comments below are telling us stray dogs to get out of here, saying that we can never build a country, let alone steal someone else's country......"

Schiller looked at Charles's expression, he knew that that group of netizens must have scolded even more, even in reality, mutants have a bad reputation, and in a place like the Internet that will amplify extreme emotions, it is simply unsightly.

Thinking of this, he admired Charles a little, even when he saw so many vicious remarks, he didn't let go of his insistence, Schiller could imagine how angry Charles would be when he saw these remarks, but even if it was this anger, he didn't use his ability to hurt ordinary people at will.

"And ......," Charles sighed again, "I must have seen more than that, Polaris almost wanted to rush over and kill the blogger when he heard it from the ice mouth." ”

"The mutant fraternity group is all bad-tempered, especially Eric, and I struggled to convince Polaris not to tell his father about this, but things started to get worse......"

"Professor, I know you don't want to use your abilities at will, but that's just for ordinary people, you can be a little flexible when it comes to stopping evil and doing justice......

"You're saying let me use my power to stop that blogger?"

"No, I mean, in fact, as long as T'Challa is rescued, the situation can be alleviated a lot, and T'Challa and Oloro should have a good relationship, if they can enter the palace of marriage, then the queen of Wakanda is a mutant, and may be able to fight for more benefits for mutants internationally."

Charles's sadness did not ease, he said: "Of course I have thought of this way, but even Stark can't crack the toxin, we don't have a very good way, the beast has sent the sample of that toxin to the laboratory, he studied it for two or three days, and there is no result, it seems to be a mysterious side of the power......"

Charles shook his head, obviously feeling that this path was not going to work, but Schiller said: "No matter what its principle is, as long as you can find its source, there may be a way, in fact, you can use your ability to see if there are any clues in that Eric's memory." ”

"He's already admitted to being a Hydra, and he almost killed T'Challa, it's not too much to check his memories, and if he can find more Hydra, maybe he can prevent other similar tragedies from happening......"

Charles thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible, but I heard that Stark and Steve are two of them competing?" ”

"Steve is also investigating Eric's origins, and I think he will be more than happy to work with mutants, after all, there are mutant members in his new Avengers......"

Charles nodded and said, "Indeed, Captain America is a man of high character, and he does not discriminate against mutants at all......"

"Okay, I'll disconnect the dream base first, and then I'll see if there are any clues in that Eric's head, and we'll get back in touch later."

The next morning, Charles called, and he said, "Eric's memory shows that he came into contact with a man named Ulysses Crow, who was not a native of Wakanda, but an American physicist." ”

"If nothing else, he is supposed to be a member of the Hydra, and Eric's memories indicate that he and Crow had a deal with vibranium, and Eric wanted to sell their tribe's vibranium reserves to Crow."

"But then, Eric's memory was somewhat shattered, and I suspected that Hydra had brainwashed him, apparently, Crow wanted vibranium, but didn't want to pay, so he brainwashed Eric into a member of Hydra."

"Can you find this Crow?"

"Just last night, I had locked his place, he is now in South Korea, and I suspect that he is dealing with his boss."

Before Schiller could ask, Charles said: "I checked this Crowe's memory, his father worked for Nazi during World War II, and I suspect that his father was a member of Hydra and his introducer." ”

"Crowe is a sonic physicist, he has a lot of prestige in his field of expertise, so he is not inferior in the Hydra, he has a lot of information about Hydra in his head, I will sort it out later, and then send it to Captain America......"

"The toxin ...... on Nat'Challa"

"Eric's memories show that the man who gave him the poison and instructed him to assassinate T'Challa was a mysterious black-robed man, and I don't see this in Crow's memory."

"Perhaps, Crowe is Eric's introducer, but not necessarily his only boss, and it seems that we need to dig a little deeper into Hydra to find out what the hell is going on......"

Schiller said while thinking, "Professor, I remember you just said that Crow had a lot of information about Hydra in his head......"

"Yes, some of them are arranged by the relevant personnel, and some of them are based on the location of the base, but there is no too critical information."

"Normally, he shouldn't be in the leadership class, but maybe that's enough."

"What do you want to do?" Charles asked on the other end of the phone.

"I have a plan......"

The next day, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s counseling room was still deserted, and most of the agents would walk around it, but today, it welcomed a special guest, and that was Grant Ward, a Level 7 S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.

He walked into the counseling room with a cold face, Schiller seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time, and when he walked in, Schiller stood up from behind the table and wanted to shake his hand, but Grant was expressionless and did not respond to his movements.

"I think you should be very skeptical by now why I would use the emergency contact symbol to contact you, you think it's against the rules of the organization, and you don't want to come." Schiller stood in front of Grant, looked into his eyes and said that Grant didn't look at him directly, still expressionless.

"Sit down, Grant, I can call you that, right?"

"My name is Ward."

"Well, Mr. Ward, I'm not going to talk nonsense, I'm taking a big risk by using the Hydra symbol to contact you, you know, lately, they've been going crazy again." Schiller pushed his glasses, crossed his fingers and placed them on the table.

Director Pierce was silent. Schiller spoke suddenly, and only then did Grant look at his face, and seeing that Schiller didn't mean to joke, his lips moved, but he still didn't say anything.

"I know you suspect that I'm a S.H.I.E.L.D. investigator and I'm talking to you, but actually, on the contrary, I'm a long-term silent person in one-way contact with Director Pierce, and the reason why I'm speaking out now is because Alexander Pierce is no longer in touch."

"He had anticipated this day for a long time, so he had placed me in this position before, so that I could take over his work after he was silent."

"I don't need you to talk to me." Schiller looked into Grant's eyes and said solemnly, "I just hope you can contact your superiors immediately to confirm whether Director Pierce is really completely silent, if so, the matter may be serious......"

"Okay, in the next half an hour, I will have some psychological treatment with you, and then take out a report and hand it in to cover up our conversation, in this process, you don't need to say anything, you don't need to do anything, what you want to do after that, it's all up to your judgment."

With that, Schiller bowed his head and began to write the medical record, during which time he did not ask Grant about anything.

After Grant walked out of the counseling room, he didn't do anything until he entered his safe house in S.H.I.E.L.D. and pulled out a specialized cell phone to call his boss.

Grantward is a Level 7 S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, and his Hydra boss is John Garrett, a Level 8 agent.

He told Garrett what Schiller had told him, but to his surprise, Garrett was silent and did not contradict him, so Grant asked, "Is Director Pierce really silent?" ”

"In fact, he's been missing for more than a week." Garrett's voice came from the other side: "He's never been out of touch for so long before, and he's all silent, not even the security channel has heard from him." ”

"Well, that Doctor Rodriguez......"

"I need to get in touch with him to be sure, you don't care about the rest, it's a special time, you must be vigilant."

Hearing Garrett's serious voice, Grant also understood that the current situation was probably bad, so he asked, "Is this purge serious?" ”

Garrett was silent for a few more moments before he said, "I'm afraid it's the worst ever, keep quiet, and we'll see you later." ”

When it was time for the end of the day, Schiller did not leave, but waited in the office until dark.

Sure enough, just a few minutes after dark, there was a knock on the door of his office, and it was John Garrett who walked in, a Level 8 agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. and a high-ranking member of Hydra.
