Except for the [Chocolate's Music Box], which is used as a hypnotic (brainwashing) tool.

Another oil painting found in Alexander Pixar's basement was something that Erin paid more attention to.

It's a scenic painting.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, a large tree full of life flutters in the wind, and the green grass is surrounded by the big tree.

At the end of the meadow, there seemed to be several figures chasing and playing, but they were so far away that they couldn't see clearly, and they couldn't even tell whether they were men or women.

And beneath the sky farther away, the white clouds pressed very low, like fluffy marshmallows, which could fall from the sky at any moment.

[Dream Painting: A demon who is nostalgic for the world, in order to commemorate his former hometown, a picture scroll painted by himself, everyone who sees this painting will can't help but immerse themselves in the beautiful scenery in the scroll. 】

[Note: The demon is always selfish, and even if it is his hometown in the painting, he does not want to be shared by others.] 】

[Characteristic 1: Everyone who has looked at this painting will be chased and killed by the goblins in the painting, as long as the painting is not destroyed, the goblins in the painting can be reborn an infinite number of times, but each goblin in the painting will only appear once when chasing and killing the same person.] 】

[Trait 2: The hunt of the goblins in the painting is only the beginning, not the end.] After defeating the goblin in the painting, you who have looked at this oil painting will see the real abyss. This painting comes with the curse of a superior demon, and everyone who looks at this painting will be marked by this painting, and when you fall asleep, you will be pulled into the world of the painting, and then ······ Fall into the abyss. 】

[Hint: When I looked at the abyss, the abyss was also watching. (Of course, as long as you don't look at it, it can't see you)]

[Containment method: After forcibly killing the goblin in the painting, when the night comes, ignite the 'ashes' left by the goblin in the painting, and then fall asleep, under the guidance of the ashes of the goblin in the painting, you will step through the 'abyss' and go straight to the castle in the depths of the painting, as long as you defeat the demon mark left in the depths of the painting, you will be the new owner of this oil painting.] (PS: After thousands of years have passed, the demon mark in the painting has been dimmed)]

After seeing the detailed description of this oil painting.

Even Erin couldn't help but be surprised.

At first glance, this painting doesn't seem smaller than the Lucky Ring.

After all, in this world, the strength of the high-ranking demons in the Hell Dimension is much stronger than the gods in the ordinary god system.

And those two characteristics of this painting made Erin's eyes shine even more.

It's no wonder that Alexander Pixar hung the painting at the only entrance to his basement.

With this painting in his guard, Alexander Pierce doesn't have to worry about someone entering his basement to steal important information.

Without Alexander Pixar's guidance, anyone who enters his basement would have died an unknown death.

Ordinary people can't invade Alexander Pixar's basement at all, and even if they dodge the attack of the goblins in the painting, they will eventually be pulled into the abyss in their sleep.

Luckily, when Erin hypnotized Alexander Pixar, he also got a way to avoid the painting from him (close your eyes and don't look at it).

Otherwise, even he would have to be tricked.

·································

Except for these few otherworldly items.

When Bucky blew up Alexander Pixar, Erin also gained two thousand fate points.

These fate points are not much, but they also replenish Erin's shriveled purse.

And according to the information provided by Alexander Pierce himself, Erin also found a USB drive and a hidden list of assets in a hidden corner of the basement.

In Erin's eyes.

The value of this USB flash drive and asset list is no less than that of the previous extraordinary items.

And even far beyond.

Because what is recorded in this USB flash drive is the list of all the members of Alexander Pierce, the hydra lurking in S.H.I.E.L.D.

A complete list of Hydra members.

Whether it is the identity of a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent on the surface or the identity of Hydra in the dark, for ordinary people, it is not visible.

Because of the particularity of the work, but also because of the fear of information leakage.

Alexander Pearce's Hydra is arguably the best of all Hydras.

The ordinary members of this hydra basically follow the guidelines of one-line connection.

Therefore, except for the downline and the superior commander of their own development, or the companions who have cooperated in the mission, they have no idea who else is among the Hydra.

They only know that in S.H.I.E.L.D., Hydra's power is incomparably huge.

That's why.

The U.S. team, which crossed back in the Infinity War, was able to easily deceive an elevator Hydra by relying on the sentence "Long live the Hydra".

Because ······ They really think of Team America as a member of Hydra.

Among Alexander Pierce's hydra, I'm afraid there is no second person other than himself who will have this detailed list.

Looking at the list in front of me, and the list of assets that recorded the vast wealth of Hydra, a sudden thought came to me.

Suddenly it rose in Erin's mind.

"Maybe······ I can ······ like this."

·······································

Just as Erin counted the loot he had captured from Alexander Pierce.

Inside a hidden dam.

Nick Fury, who has extensive burns all over his body and relies on instruments and liquids to barely stay alive, hears the latest information from Natasha's mouth.

couldn't help but scold "Mom provokes Fack".

Because he was too emotional, the machines that were testing Nick Fury's body data suddenly sounded a sharp alarm.

It wasn't until several doctors forcibly injected Nick Fury with a sedative that the piercing alarm calmed down.

Looking at Nick Fury, who fell asleep again under the effect of the sedative.

Maria Hill pulls Natasha and the American team out of the "rudimentary" ward where Nick Fury is treated.

··············

After leaving the ward.

Natasha, who had just learned that Nick Fury was still alive, looked at Maria Hill and frowned and asked:

"This ······ What the hell is going on? ”

And Captain America, who was next to Natasha, also spoke: "Actually, I also want to know what is going on with all this? Before I came here, I thought Director Fury was dead, and I even ordered flowers and a memorial at the florist. ”

Looking at Natasha and Team America, who were faintly questioning him, Hill shook his head and said, "Don't look at me like that, in fact, I just knew that Fury wasn't dead a day before you." ”

As he spoke, Hill turned his head to look at Nick Fury, who was unconscious again under the effect of the drug not far away, and sighed and said, "Originally, Director Fury himself should explain all this to you, but let me explain it to you now·······"

"I don't know, I don't know, and he didn't say, but we have some guesses as to who did the tricks on his helicopter."

"I guess Fury has told you all about Hydra, if we guessed correctly, this time it was Hydra who infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. who shot at Nick Fury."

"And after learning that Nick Fury died, Alexander Pierce temporarily served as the acting director of S.H.I.E.L.D., temporarily taking over all the powers of S.H.I.E.L.D., we suspect that he is the mastermind behind the plan to murder Nick Fury, that is, the Hydra leader hidden in the shadows."

"Possibly······ It is precisely for this reason that after hearing the news that Natasha brought back, Nick Fury was so excited, because the death of Alexander Pierce means that our previous guess is likely to be wrong. ”

Looking at the wry-smiling Maria Hill, Captain America Steve on the side was puzzled: "Why do you suspect that Alexander Pierce will be behind Hydra, didn't Nick Fury pull it himself?" ”

"Alexander Pierce is the head of the World Security Council and the former head of S.H.I.E.L.D., if he is really Hydra, then there is no need for him to promote Nick Fury to be the head of S.H.I.E.L.D., and as far as I know, after Nick Fury's accident, it was he who was vigorously investigating the cause of Nick Fury's death."

This time, Nick Fury was "killed" by the explosion button pressed by Alexander Pierce himself, and he didn't have time to run to the American team to leave a message like in the original book.

So in order to win over the American team and agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Alexander Pierce did a lot of superficial work.

And now it seems that he has done a good job.

At least, the current American team did not suspect Alexander Pierce at all.

Hearing this, Maria Hill said, "No, that's why we doubt him even more. In the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters building, avoiding the eyes of countless agents, and then forcibly planting bombs on the helicopter that the director was riding, and even now it has not been exposed, do you know how many people need to cooperate to do this? ”

"In the entire S.H.I.E.L.D., I'm afraid only Alexander Pierce has such a huge power and influence that he can hide from Nick Fury and do all this without knowing it."

"And, the most important thing is that after Nick Fury's death, he obtained all the authority of S.H.I.E.L.D., and he got the most benefits."

Whoever profits the most is most likely to be the murderer.

That's why Nick Fury and Maria Hill would think Alexander Pierce was the murderer.

But in the end, Maria Hill smiled bitterly again:

"But now it seems that Alexander Pierce is a hydra hidden in the shadows, a target deliberately set up in order to divert our direction, otherwise he would not have died at this time."

Natasha, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "You are right, if Minister Pierce is really Hydra, he will not have an accident at this time after getting rid of Director Fury and temporarily acting as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D." ”

"And two hours ago, the New York Police Department had already found the body of Minister Pierce who had been blown into a pile of minced flesh and two relatively intact paws through DNA comparison, and his death could not have been faked like Director Fury. This further ruled out the possibility that Minister Pierce was Hydra. ”

"In that case, we might as well go in another direction, if Minister Pierce is not Hydra, then why was he assassinated at this time?"

"The death of two directors of S.H.I.E.L.D. in a row, coupled with the identity of Minister Pierce himself, no matter how huge the power of Hydra is, it can't be easily done! After all, after Director Nick Fury's death, Minister Pierce specially mobilized a team of agents to protect his safety for his own safety. ”

"According to the information provided by the police, not only were the agents assigned to protect him killed in Minister Pierce's villa, but even some of the documents stored in Minister Pierce's basement were looted."

"You say, could it be that after Minister Pierce took over S.H.I.E.L.D., he was really killed because of something investigated······

If Erin was here, hearing Natasha's serious analysis, he would have to laugh and his stomach hurt.

Hydra kills their boss, this is really unimaginable!

But because of the poor information, this possibility of Natasha is the most logical guess at the moment.

Even Maria Hill on the side, after hearing Natasha's speculation, frowned slightly and thought about it.

"It's possible what you're talking about, but it's just our guess right now."

"Director Fury must have more information about Hydra than we do, and when he comes to his senses, we can tell him these speculations and see how he reacts."

Natasha and Team America across from Maria Hill glanced at each other, then sighed silently.

Now, that's all it can be.

··························

Early the next morning.

Erin got up and prepared a nutritious breakfast.

In order to enrich the taste, Erin also went to the breakfast street downstairs and bought a lot of special food.

Once you've prepared your breakfast and a table of specialities.

After looking at the time.

Erin walked to the first floor, opened the door, and smiled at the figure who was about to ring the doorbell, "Surprise! ”
