Chapter 16: The Devil's Prophecy
Nick Fury and Natasha almost pulled out their pistols and rushed into the ward under each other's cover, only to see Don sitting on the bed and Coulson standing next to him, the two of them looked at them in surprise, and there was nothing unusual in the ward.
"What happened?" Nick Fury asked.
Don pointed to the television, which was playing a live interview news with a well-dressed hostess on one side and Maria Hill in a long red dress on the other.
"Tell me, haven't you ever seen a beautiful woman?" Nick Fury put away the gun and complained hatefully, the guy in Natasha's hand didn't know when it turned into a big syringe, and he barely managed to maintain her persona as a nurse.
Tang withdrew his fingers, lowered his head and said stupidly: "I've seen it, but it's all on the screen and in the hard drive." Instead, he asked, "I thought you were a secret department, can you still be on TV?" ”
Coulson and Natasha set their sights on Nick Fury at the same time, apparently having the same doubts in their minds.
"The times are different, the gameplay is naturally different, as long as we stick to our duties and don't forget our original intentions." Nick Fury didn't forget to serve a bowl of chicken soup to everyone at this time, or someone else is the director, and the ideological work must be grasped from time to time, everywhere, and not relaxed for a moment.
Tang looked at the TV carefully for a long time, and said with some regret: "If she wore that black agent suit, maybe she would be more photogenic." ”
The corners of Natasha's mouth showed a hint of disdain, and she said in her heart that the old lady looks better in an agent suit, but it's a pity that your kid doesn't have that eye.
The hostess on the TV was talking, Coulson grabbed the remote control and amplified his voice: "Today, in the 21st century, our lives have changed a lot, will the earth also change dramatically?" The monsters that appear one after another may be a wake-up call for humans who are overly addicted to fighting. There is also a mysterious organization that protects humanity in the past monster disasters and fights against monsters, what is its identity, is it our guardian, or is it an illegal underground organization, today we have the honor to invite this mysterious organization, the full name is called the senior commander of the Homeland Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency, Ms. Maria Hill, to share with us the details of this organization. ”
Hill smiled and explained, "The Territorial Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency, you can simply call it S.H.I.E.L.D., I think this abbreviation is a very accurate and vivid description of our responsibilities. S.H.I.E.L.D. is a long-established organization that dates back to World War II, the Science Strategy Corps, which was established to fight against the evil organization Hydra, and everyone is very familiar with Captain America and Howard Stark as its founders. After the end of the war, humanity still faces a variety of major threats, and for the past few decades, S.H.I.E.L.D. has been working diligently to maintain peace and tranquility in the world. ”
In the hospital room, Nick Fury nodded slightly, this kind of words sounded like a mellow wine, and it seemed that Natasha and Coulson felt the same way.
The host pretended to be surprised and praised: "I didn't expect S.H.I.E.L.D. to have such great achievements, we are under your meticulous protection, and we don't even know it, what kind of indifferent mind is this, in my opinion, the Nobel Prize jury should have awarded you the Peace Prize a long time ago." ”
Don looked at Nick Fury and asked in surprise, "She's also one of yours?" ”
Nick Fury smiled and didn't speak.
On TV, Ms. Hill smiled and said very modestly: "With all due respect, no organization is qualified to give us awards for the work we do. ”
The host on the other side actually nodded and agreed: "As far as I know, you have already won two complete victories against monsters, right?" We've eliminated three monsters, which is remarkable, and we've only wiped out one of the 'invincible' US forces so far, and we've razed the entire San Francisco Bay Area to the ground, which is said to have been uninhabitable for centuries. ”
At this time, Hill had to pretend to be deaf and dumb and avoid answering, her identity was really not suitable for adding more beaks to this question, so she cleverly led the topic in another direction: "I must affirm that in the two battles with monsters, there was a mysterious giant, we called him Ultraman Tiga, who played an irreplaceable role in it. ”
Speaking of this, the host is interested again, and this time it is a real interest, and there is no need to distribute the kind above: "That giant, that is, Ultraman Tiga, how is he different from other monsters, is he a friend of our humans, or is he a huge threat to mankind like those monsters?" There are also experts who claim that he is a biological weapon secretly researched by the military, and now it seems that he has a closer relationship with S.H.I.E.L.D., can you answer these questions from the public? ”
Hill said: "It's normal for people to always be afraid of the unknown, but you can't reject them because of this, you have to find a way to understand them. Monsters are a threat because they do cause serious harm to humans, but Ultraman Tiga, he is different, he is really fighting monsters and protecting the safety of us humans. So I believe that he will not become a threat to humanity. This is not my personal wishful thinking, but a conclusion that can be seen by careful observation and analysis of his actions.
As for where Ultraman came from, S.H.I.E.L.D. is investigating, but as for biological weapons, I believe that no human technology on Earth can achieve such a miracle at present. ”
Hill and the hostess chatted for a while, and the end time was coming soon, and there was no doubt that this episode hit the nail on the head, and the ratings of the topics that the public was most concerned about must have soared. As for whether there will be such a chance in the future, it can only be said that it is slim, S.H.I.E.L.D. is not a star, they have to rely on exposure to eat, and low-key is their eternal pursuit.
In the ward, Tang held his arms with both hands, squinted his eyes, and seemed to have drunk the same good wine as the three of them, and nodded again and again: "I think what she said is really reasonable." You know, if your government could be so reasonable, the world would be a lot more peaceful. ”
"Your words are out of line." The observer blew the foul whistle, and some unspeakable being forbade such a question to be discussed.
"What's that, show easter eggs?" Don's finger suddenly pointed to the screen and asked in surprise.
At the interview scene, Hill took off the microphone on his chest, and was about to take a long breath of relief, recalling whether there were any mistakes in his previous performance, when he suddenly heard a group of people behind him exclaim, and suddenly raised his head, only to see that the hostess who had been talking and laughing before was actually floating in mid-air out of thin air at this time, with her hair scattered, and her face was full of horror.
Hill didn't have time to think about it, her years of experience as an agent made her react in an instant, she rolled over and hid next to the machine, and by the way, she took out a gun from her body and aimed it at the target, ready to fire at any time.
The hostess turned a blind eye to Ciel's actions, and just lowered her head and shouted in a hoarse voice: "I tell you, S.H.I.E.L.D. and Ultraman Tiga are just a joke, and we are the masters of this earth, your eternal gods!" If you continue to have illusions about that fellow, the god Kiri Elrod will send down His divine punishment, and the divine flame will burn all the filth away, and I will prove it to you at once! As he spoke, he pointed out the window with his hand, but he fell from the air and lay unconscious on the ground.
Everyone thought it was a prank made by the host, and they couldn't help but talk about it, praising the stunts for being so realistic, and they didn't even see the tightrope.
The cameraman at the scene turned the camera in the direction that the host pointed before, and in the TV, everyone only saw a towering skyscraper in the distance, it seemed that everything was normal, and the next second suddenly there was a violent explosion without warning, and the flames and smoke rolled out, enveloping the entire building in it, and when the smoke dissipated, the entire building had been razed to the ground.
Tang was also dumbfounded, and it took a long time to react, and he said uncertainly: "This ...... It shouldn't be an easter egg of the show. ”
Nick Fury immediately took out the communicator and began to contact Hill urgently, fortunately he could still get in touch, but there was already chaos on the other side, and there were shouts everywhere, thinking that it was the end of the world, and it seemed that today's headlines were going to be snatched by the next door.
"Hill, return to the Triqu Wing Headquarters immediately, now!" Nick Fury shouted into the communicator, because the voice was too noisy, and he didn't hear a response from the other side for a long time, so he could only put it aside and deal with the matter at hand first.
"Coulson, order all S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel to enter the first state of alert, all agents cancel their leave and return to their posts immediately to prevent possible targeted attacks, where is Agent Patton, I want him to return to headquarters immediately and be on standby!"
Coulson immediately left the place and went into action.
"Natasha!" Nick Fury suddenly shouted, and the latter arrived.
Don is still wondering, isn't it called Natalie?
Nick Fury pointed at Don on the hospital bed and told him again, "Take care of him and don't leave him for a moment." ”
"Sir, I think ......" Natasha still wants to fight for it, she can't be a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent at the same time, everyone is busy, and she is still here to accompany the prince to study, it will be too boring.
"Alright," Nick Fury waved his hand, "it's really important to remember what I told you." After that, he left in a hurry.
There were only two people left in the ward, and they didn't speak, and Tang crossed his arms and stared at her side face with interest, and found that there was a different kind of beauty when she was angry.
