Chapter Forty-Three: Hydra, S.H.I.E.L.D., Ward
To be honest, Edward doesn't care about Ward, but Ward's identity may mean a lot.
His dual identity is a headache for Edward.
He came, on behalf of S.H.I.E.L.D., or at the behest of Hydra, or both.
There will be three different answers.
Edward thought about it for a moment and chose the most versatile option - amnesia, the irreversible kind.
Ward is here, indicating that it must be S.H.I.E.L.D. who is monitoring the dark mage.
Then the people who did small things in Edward's house before must also be them.
Regardless of whether Ward came with the will of the Hydra or not, it was certain that he came with the intention of S.H.I.E.L.D., which found the anomaly in the surveillance footage, so they need to pay attention to Edward, who broke the anomaly.
No matter who is making small moves in S.H.I.E.L.D., the most dangerous at this time must be Hydra - after all, he has the largest stall in S.H.I.E.L.D.
But if there is no external intervention, with the current directors of S.H.I.E.L.D. all being hydras, nothing will be found in this big storm.
However, if there is an external force intervening, this is not necessarily the case.
Edward is this if.
If there is a choice, they will definitely choose to keep Edward shut up forever, despite the staring of S.H.I.E.L.D., it is not difficult for them to make Edward silent.
It's just that I don't know what Hydra thinks about, and I haven't moved these thoughts.
You can't kill it, you have to settle for it, and you have to make sure that he doesn't expose the shortcomings of Hydra, and the key is whether Edward has any memory of being caught.
So Edward without memory is good Edward.
Therefore, Edward needs to emphasize that "he has amnesia, and it is irreversible." ”
"After leaving, I tried to reminisce about my past, but ...... Nothing, a blank slate, but an inexplicable sense of danger made me more sensitive, and I felt like someone was watching me and watching me all the time.
Just like this identity information, I don't know who did it, but it's definitely not me, and if he can do this information, he will definitely have my information.
I tried to leave Chicago, but I was just as scared when I came to New York, they could handle this identity without my knowledge, they must have my identity, and I shouldn't have stayed at home for long.
I've been out of the house, but I feel like someone is following, so I'm afraid to go out...... When everyone knocked on the door, I was afraid that it was the one who was going to arrest me, but I didn't even know who was going to arrest me and why.
I don't have a memory, why is this happening......"
Edward, while talking about his life these days, suddenly became agitated, and grabbed his hair a little frantically.
Ward hurriedly walked up and grabbed him, "Hey, calm down, it's safe here, it's okay you can continue, what about later?" ”
"Later? I went out, I went to the bar, I thought it would be safe to go to a crowded place, I met Mr. Stark, he gave me money, he was a good guy, I was angry to see someone stealing from him.
Then the one, the big bald head, gave me money and told me to leave, and I was chased again...... I don't know who they are, I've never seen them, I can only run and run, it was Mr. Stark who asked Mr. Harpy to save me. ”
"I don't know how to repay him, it's scary. I saw the Liberty Island news, I went there, it made me feel safer, safer than at home, there was no feeling of being spied on......"
Edward's expression was full of struggle and hesitation, and he glanced at the camera from time to time as he spoke, making sure he was safe.
Ward put down the coffee cup and asked, "Did you know that the thief you stopped the day before yesterday died?" ”
"Dead?" Edward was stunned, he really didn't know.
"Do you know that after you left the bar, the people who chased you died?"
"All dead? Didn't Mr. Harpy report them and arrest them? ”
Edward's astonishment was not a fake.
Stark had just been arrested, and he directly cut off the clue here, and Obadiah and the Ten Rings were more decisive than Edward thought.
"That's what I want to ask you, some of these little rascals are dead." The man with glasses pulled out a few photos.
The gangsters at different times were ready to encompass all the exits of the three alleys, and all the people who entered them were among them.
The last two photos show one of the thieves and the other a group of thugs, foaming at the corners of their mouths.
Edward flipped through it, and suddenly flipped it forward, counting them one by one.
"No, no, no, no." Edward shook his head suddenly, "Not quite right, I feel like there are fewer people." ”
"Who's the less?" Ward asked.
"I remember...... There was a guy with a gun, it was he, this man in a black jacket and white, he was the one who threatened me to go into the alley, this man hit me with a steel rod, and a black man, with a finger tiger, smashed me on the head. Edward gestured, "There's no one here who beat me." ”
Ward pushed his glasses and took out a few more photos, which were exactly what Edward looked like when he dodged the attack! Even when hiding from black attacks!
It's really a collaboration with Bruce Wayne, Edward has a bit of a toothache, Bruce belongs to something, there are so many cameras everywhere.
Edward pointed to the picture and said, "They're going to hit me." ”
"Well, if they hit, you might be dead?" Ward threw the photo over with a grim face.
"Me." Edward looked at the picture and nodded, "I know, I know they're here to kill me, or to get me." Edward was a little anxious.
"Calm down and take a deep breath." Ward teaches Edward how to move, and Edward imitates it.
After two minutes, Edward calmed down, "Who are they?" ”
"Codename: Black Tiger, Green Elf, Camouflage, three people who have just become mercenaries, someone hired them to come here to do something, and they found the gangsters.
Then, when they meet you at the bar, they chase you after you leave, and every blow tries to kill you, so neatly, why are you able to dodge their attacks? Do you know them well? ”
"It's not." Edward shook his head, "I...... I've been scared that someone will come and catch me, so I've been thinking about how I'm going to run, so I can run away when I meet them. ”
Ward accepted this statement, and anyone who has practiced it can see that the three beaters are not serious at all, and they are basically at the point of being casual, and it is not difficult to avoid them if they are on guard, especially a person who is almost delusional about to be killed and is always on guard, which is understandable.
It's just that it's hard to imagine that three mercenaries would carry out their missions with such a lazy attitude, what exactly is their task?
"They're the ones who kidnapped me?" Edward asked.
Ward stared at Edward and shook his head, "No, the ins and outs of this group of people are recorded, and you will be hunted down purely because you caught the thief." ”
"Thieves? I called out to the thief, and then he couldn't be in the ...... to Mr. Stark Their target is Mr. Stark?! ”
"Well, the reaction was fast, before and after Stark's disappearance, those thugs were poisoned to death in a single room, the three of them disappeared from the bureau, they were picked up and went abroad, their purpose was Stark, you just happened to interfere with their plans, and you were hunted down."
"You're so good, can you find Mr. Stark with them?" Edward's eyes lit up.
Ward shook his head.
This is really not, although there is news from the Hydra side that it is the hand of the Ten Rings Gang, but it does not violate the river water with the Well Water of the Ten Rings Gang, as for the S.H.I.E.L.D., it was a mess that was tossed by Nick Fury's investigation of the mole a few days earlier, and no one really paid attention to this matter.
After leaving the country, after the three of them were picked up by the Assassin Alliance, the news from S.H.I.E.L.D. was completely cut off, and only Hydra knew about the situation.
So far, all the information is correct with what he said, but ...... "Why do you remember so clearly, you were prepared in advance, right?" ”
"Why do you remember it so clearly? Because all I have now is these memories, these are all I have, and I want to have more memories every night, but no, that's all. Edward looked at him with a strange expression
"I also wanted to go to the doctor, but I didn't dare, every time I saw the camera I felt like they were staring at me, and I felt that it was behind it......"
Ward took a sip of coffee calmly, dear, it's not the black hand staring at you, it's us, well, it doesn't seem right to say it's the black hand......
"So, you're going to save him when you're not safe yourself? Risking your life? Ward asked again, this time staring into Edward's eyes.
"Spare your life!" Edward's expression was very sincere, and he stopped from time to time anyway, and said beautiful things casually.
Ward stared at Edward for a moment, thinking about what had happened between himself and his adoptive father.
After staring at it for a while, Ward suddenly smiled, "Okay, kid, here's your information." ”
Ward tossed him a stack of papers, "This information is public, it's your resident identity information, and we've seconded it." ”
"Me?" Edward took the information blankly, "This is ...... Me, this is my dad, this is my mom, here is ...... West lake...... Me, missing? Kidnapped? But I don't remember why. ”
"Yes, the last information recorded by the surveillance is the scene of your abduction, and after that, the search was fruitless.
Until half a month ago, you suddenly appeared in Chicago, during which you didn't have any traffic records, I don't even know when you got here, but after you appeared under the camera, after the surveillance video of the United States for the first time had your figure and your green card, your health insurance, your driver's license, and your school suddenly appeared, and your feeling was right, everything appeared suddenly. Ward crossed his hands.
"Why is this happening?" Edward looked at the S.H.I.E.L.D. version of his own information, and was at a loss, "It shows that I used to be a restaurant serving dishes, and I was kidnapped by a psychopath?" Brain-dead or mentally retarded? ”
“…… Well, I thought so, and I really didn't see how you deserved to be kidnapped. Ward glanced Edward up and down, nodded seriously, and said from the bottom of his heart.
...... "I'll humble myself, you ......
"In short, we pay attention to you because your appearance is 'too special', your information has been handled unknowingly, plus there is no way to get your transportation, these coincidences together are not as simple as you think, so we speculate that some important and powerful figures and forces may be involved, so we have carried out some monitoring of you."
"Wait, you guys?"
"When you go out, all the surveillance video on the street you're on will automatically aim at you." Ward said, "So, if you think about it, there are people staring at you, but in fact, we are just here to keep you safe and make sure that the person behind your kidnapping shows up and arrives in time." ”
S.H.I.E.L.D. surveill Could the spy be Hydra's? When will the dual identity have a double meaning, one with protection, and the other with an opportunity to kill?
Edward pursed his lips, then thought of something, and asked awkwardly, "I won't have it at home, right?" ”
"Don't worry, this is not, although I don't know how you changed your nationality, but you are now a citizen of the United States, and we respect your privacy." Ward assured with a dignified and awe-inspiring attitude.
Anyway, he had absolutely no idea that Edward had lived there for more than a week, and that he had more than 800 seeds in his notebook.
Tsk, the young man is just energetic, huh?
