Chapter Fifty-Nine: A Burger with a Black Braised Egg
For this expedition, Laura plans to go alone.
First of all, she feels that her own strength is enough, and the endurance of the second generation of Best with a backup energy module is not ordinarily strong.
Secondly, she didn't want to stage the trilogy again to save her teammates, it was really bloody.
In the end, considering the experience of the previous trip to Yamatai, if something happens that is different from the original plot, she is still sure that she will run if she can't beat it.
Before leaving, Laura received a video call from an unknown source, and after asking Rachel to encrypt the communication, she clicked on it, and sure enough, the face of the black braised egg appeared on the virtual light curtain.
She simply slipped into the sofa and said lazily:
"What are you looking for me, Lord S.H.I.E.L.D."
Fury ignored her sloppy look and said with a stiff face:
"Miss Crawford, you seem to have taken some of our S.H.I.E.L.D. assets, right?"
Laura didn't lift her eyelids, and her whole body sank into the soft sofa, and a muffled voice came from inside:
"Oh, you said that Kun fighter, it's my reward for providing you with important information."
"What? You also took a Kun fighter with you? Why didn't I receive the message? Can't find the location? ”
All the systems of that fighter have long been cracked and replaced by Rachel, and it is strange that S.H.I.E.L.D. can find out the location.
"Huh? What fighters? I haven't heard of it. ”
Laura began to play dumb.
Fury didn't actually pay attention to it, how much is this thing worth a piece? The black money he embezzled in a year can build dozens of secret bases, and then they will be filled with Kun-style fighters.
So he skipped this one and continued to ask:
"Agent Victoria Hand, who is in charge of the aftermath, has returned and reported to me that you have taken a key suspect with you.
This information was confirmed by Captain Rumlow and Agent Garrett.
So where did you take this Hydra leader with you, known as the 'Lady Hydra', now? Leave the trouble to S.H.I.E.L.D. as soon as possible. ”
Laura sat up straight and thought for a moment before speaking:
"Fury, where are you now?"
"S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, in my office."
"Washington's Triquillus Wing Headquarters?"
"Huh? You know a lot! ”
Ignoring the black questionmark face and wanting to ask an answer about this matter, she continued to babble:
"I know from the Holy Trinity, are you free, how about going to eat burgers downstairs in Stark Mansion together, I'll have a treat, you pay."
Fury's face instantly became serious, but his tone remained unchanged and he continued:
"Okay, I happen to be a little hungry, and I heard that you and Stark both like that burger, so I might as well give it a try."
Half an hour later, Laura and Fury walked out of the burger joint, both holding a paper bag in their left hand and a large burger in their right hand and stuffing it into their mouths.
"Well, it's not bad, no wonder you can conquer Stark's arrogant stomach."
"Well, it's the best burger I've ever had. Anyway, you, a dignified director of S.H.I.E.L.D., just gave a tip of five beautiful knives? The waiter doesn't look at you right. ”
"Please, I'm very poor, and besides, you are the eldest lady of a large multinational group, who lives in a seaside villa and drives a luxury car, don't you rub my meal the same?"
"It's a must, the hamburger tastes more delicious~"
Laura and Fury are like two long-time friends, eating and drinking all the way and constantly complaining to each other, walking back to Laura's extended Lincoln unhurriedly.
After closing the door, Laura pressed a switch on her elbow, and Rachel's voice rang out in the car:
"Advanced Stealth Protection Mode has been turned on."
Laura swallowed the last bite of the burger and commanded:
"By car, back to the villa."
"Okay."
Looking at the receding scenery outside the car window, Fury took a sip of happy water and said:
"Can you say that now? What's going on? ”
Laura took out the fries from the paper bag and said as she ate:
"I did take Ophelia, what you call 'Lady Hydra'.
She had been held in a special ward at Xavier's Academy for Gifted Talents, but had now been transferred to another location. ”
"Why give it to them? This man will be safer for us to be held in custody by S.H.I.E.L.D. ”
Laura put a piece of fries in her mouth, stared at the bald head of the black braised egg and said:
"You guy, when you are an agent, you have a professional problem, and you are changing your tricks."
Fury's behavior was broken, and he continued to speak without blushing:
"It can't be helped, like you just said, occupational diseases. Not to mention that I'm their leader, and my condition will only get worse. ”
Now Laura has a new understanding of this guy's cheekiness.
"I'm really convinced of you guys... Let me start with a question - do you know Wolverine Logan? ”
"Yes, we used to fight side by side, but his brain seems to have been damaged, and his memory is not only confused but also lost a lot of important parts. Why, does this still have anything to do with him? ”
"Well, Ophelia somehow bound herself to Logan's soul.
Now they are in a state of shared vitality, resisting the pact of the ancient demon god Sithorne. ”
"Sithorne?"
"Well, god of the dark arts, do you know Kama Taj?"
Seeing this, Laura continued to explain:
"Kama Taj worships the god of white magic, Emperor Vishan, and is the source of their magic. To put it simply, Sithorne is their opposite, the Lord destroys and destroys. ”
Fury wasn't very impressed by her black-and-white remarks, but nodded his head to indicate that he understood.
"Until the dark pact on them is lifted, these two are walking time bombs, a doppelganger of me and Sithorne... No, the doppelganger doesn't count, it can only be said that a distant projection fought, and the result was that I lost and almost died. ”
Fury had estimated Laura's current strength, comparing her to an old friend from before, and his heart sank when he heard her description.
"Don't worry, the academy has a special way to suppress this unstable contract, and I have a rough solution.
Finally, and most importantly. That's that I don't trust you S.H.I.E.L.D., you think about what happened before. ”
Nick Fury nodded in agreement, he had been secretly observing and screening recently.
The initial screening found nothing, and he didn't believe the results at all in the advanced stage of hypochopxia.
"Pull over, that's it for now. I'll make my own arrangements when I go back to the bureau, and if you have any progress here, you can contact me through this. ”
Fury finished the last fries and pulled a black pager out of his pocket and tossed it to Laura, then pushed the car door with his large glass of happy water and walked away.
