At night, the Triple Wing Building on the banks of the Washington River is busy with agents today, with lights up and down the building, and the top office lights up.

Alexander. Pierce hadn't rested yet, he was sitting in his chair, frowning and staring out the window, below which was the piercing agent who had just returned from a car ride outside, his brow furrowed deeper when he saw the corpse being carried down from the back compartment, and his fists clenched.

Knock knock knock!!

"Come in."

Alexander heard a knock at the door, turned his chair and faced the door, and soon saw Jasper Seatwell push the door open and hurry in.

"Minister, please give me a moment to explain."

Jasper walked over to the table and immediately lowered his head.

"You'd better explain why Hill and the Avengers' plan of action, we didn't get a little bit of information, I told you to be optimistic about Nick Fury, optimistic about the intelligence group, and as a result, you disappointed me too much."

Alexander had a calm face, if it weren't for this plan, they wouldn't have known in advance, Eugene. Phil is not exposed either.

"Hill didn't mention the plan to anyone, and the person she sent was Nick. Fury personally picks the object, and Nick. Fury also seemed to be aware of the problems within S.H.I.E.L.D., so he didn't tell anyone else, and he didn't even discuss the plan of action within S.H.I.E.L.D., and we only got a message from Agent Hill after the plan began. ”

Jasper hung his head, cold sweat streaming down his smooth head, he pushed down his glasses and wiped the beads of sweat from the tip of his nose, "This may not be good for us."

"Damn it, Nick. Fury began to suspect the inner workings of S.H.I.E.L.D., and he didn't tell me about the plan."

Alexander's brow furrowed, his expression becoming a little complicated, and his fingers kept tapping on the table.

"Nick. Fury suspects that there is an internal ghost, will it affect the Insight Project? If he starts looking inside, it's likely to be a threat to us. ”

Jasper looked up in remind.

Project Insight is a satellite system that uses space carriers to identify criminals and terrorists, and to track and arrest them. Pierce planned, but in fact, the ultimate purpose of the plan is not to serve S.H.I.E.L.D., but to become a weapon for Hydra to rule the world, because the Insight Project, the underlying code is based on Dr. Zola's algorithm, which can identify and analyze citizens who have potential threats to Hydra, and help Hydra solve unnecessary troubles and threats in advance.

If this plan can be realized, it will be a crucial step for Hydra in the future.

"If Nick doesn't get suspicious, then he's not Nick Fury, but he can't find me right now."

Alexander. Pierce knew his friend very well, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, you can go, I'll take care of the rest." ”

"Yes."

Jasper nodded vigorously and turned away.

Alexander sitting in a chair. Pierce, press a button, and soon the door is knocked again, this time by a sad-faced Nick. Fury.

"I've heard everything Hill does."

Alexander said with a serious face.

"It sounds like you're trying to make me guilty, and I admit it, but this time the plan was too rushed, so I didn't have much time to ask you for advice."

Nick. Fury sat down on the chair opposite, without the slightest panic, and said unhurriedly, "But the plan is finally completed." ”

"I don't mean to blame you, you did a good job, you caught the enemy off guard, and rescued a group of poor people who were trapped, and this time the plan was not leaked."

Alexander. An appreciative smile appeared on Pierce's face, "I read the operation report this time, and there were not even casualties. ”

"You doubt it too."

Nick. Fury didn't care about anything else, and keenly grasped the point of Alexander's words.

"Yes."

Alexander stood up as he spoke, sighed and said, "I have been in S.H.I.E.L.D. for a longer time than you, you were still very young when you came, give me a hand, we were all young at that time, and S.H.I.E.L.D. was not so chaotic inside, but now it is different, I can feel that there are always some people in S.H.I.E.L.D. who have changed their inner thoughts and original intentions, or maybe they didn't plan to take this path in the first place." ”

"How are you going to solve it?"

Nick. Fury was a little relieved to see that his friend was also concerned about the ghost, maybe he should have talked to him about this earlier, otherwise there would not have been so many problems.

"I don't know."

Alexander shook his head, looked out the window at the bustling scene on the other side of the river, sat back in his chair for a moment, and said, "I have been a minister in the Security Council for many years, and before that I was the head of S.H.I.E.L.D. like you, but I will soon step down, and this position will be given to you when the time comes, but my only wish before leaving office is to make the Insight Project perfectly implemented." ”

Nick. Fury smiled helplessly and said, "You sound like an old man talking now, about Project Insight, now the technical department is in the research and development stage, and there are the Helicarrier and the wreckage left over from the previous Battle of New York, which has helped the project a lot." ”

"The faster the progress, the better, I want you to focus on this one thing, and put the rest aside for now, Project Insight is important not only for my career, but for the entire S.H.I.E.L.D."

Alexander put away his smile and said with a serious expression.

"I see what you mean, but something else."

Nick. As a high-level member of S.H.I.E.L.D., Fury also understands the importance of the Insight Project, and as Alexander's friend and subordinates, he also knows that if this plan is really successfully implemented, it will be a great success for his friend's career, especially if it will draw a perfect end to his resume, which will allow him to go further in officialdom in the future.

But that doesn't mean that the importance of the Insight Program takes precedence over everything, and for Nick Fury, organizational security is the most important thing.

"Do as I say, the project budget has been approved."

Alexander saw that his friend's thoughts interrupted his train of thought, and said, "I hope you will not fail me." ”

"Yes."

Nick. Fury reluctantly got up, and before leaving, he stopped, looked back and said, "Pierce, I don't really want to sit in the minister's seat. ”

"Damn it!"

When Alexander heard this, he cursed and leaned back in his chair, and when he heard this, he understood that Nick. Fury's mind, he will definitely not focus entirely on the Insight Project, which means that Nick will still conduct a thorough investigation of the inside of S.H.I.E.L.D.

He pondered, "Gotta think of a new solution."

As he thought about it, his eyes fell on the contents of the report on the table, which was the report of Agent Hill's operation, which recorded the latest situation in the mutant underground base after Eugene's death.

"Just let you dog-eat-dog."

Alexander. Pierce sneered and dialed Jasper's phone, his gloomy face unpredictable.

Hell's Kitchen in New York, in the underground base under the warehouse, a day has passed since Eugene's exposure, and the Rojo people have also returned to the underground base one after another after dealing with the follow-up work of the mission.

However, unlike before, when Rojo walked into the base, he obviously felt that the negative emotions emanating from everyone were stronger than before, and even once made Rojo feel affected and empathize when he tried to read his mind, and that kind of suppressed emotion made people breathless.

If the previous underground base was a dark cloud of negativity, then now it is a dark cloud of a stormy night that hangs over everyone's head.

Coupled with the fact that the underground base itself was dimly lit, Rojo noticed that everyone's eyes were not shining, and some were just gloomy as he went to the professor's tent.

"Things don't look good."

Marcos also noticed everyone's expressions, swallowed, quickly followed the team, and said, "Everyone is not in a good mood. ”

Logan. Howlett sighed, shook his head and said, "Eugene's affairs have hit them hard, especially, how many promises Eugene has made before, how many bold words and ambitions have been made, and how many inspiring, then, how heartbroken they are. ”

"Marcus, John, you go and get Sonia and them, call them to the professor's tent, we need to have a meeting."

They that Rojo was referring to were naturally important members of the underground base.

Later, he and Uncle Wolf went to the professor's tent first, but fortunately, Eugene had attached great importance to the professor before, and the area of the tent could be used as a temporary meeting room.

Originally, I planned to use Eugene's tent, but I thought of Eugene's matter, they had no plans to go there for the time being, and Tony suggested that everything related to Eugene be demolished, so that some people could feel better, this suggestion was not adopted, mainly because the infrastructure of the base was too little, and there was no condition to do so.

"Coming back?"

In the tent, Lorna was accompanying the professor, and the sad looks of the two could tell that they had already watched the video.

"Well, it's the same as we thought, but, looking at it now, it's worse than it was before."

Rojo sat down on a chair and closed the curtain of the tent, trying to isolate the sound outside, but in fact, there were few people talking outside, everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding, falling into silence, and some only sighed for a while.

"I didn't expect Eugene to be a hydra, Sonia stayed in the tent after she found out and never came out."

Lorna propped her face on the table with one hand, her green eyes showing worry and sorrow, "She must be sad." ”

"What about Caliban?"

Logan didn't see Caliban.

Lorna sighed and said, "Don't talk about him, he's sadder than anyone in the base, he thought he had found a safe haven, but it turned out to be just a breeding pen." ”

"Eugene's identity is indeed difficult for many people to accept, after all, he is the founder of this base, but he is doing those dirty things, and I actually didn't see through his mind."

Professor Charles' eyes were full of self-reproach, and he said: "I have telepathy, but I can't do what I should do, and if I had found out about Eugene's identity in the first place, maybe more people would have been saved from danger." ”

"Professor, don't be sad about this matter, the thing developed inside Hydra can temporarily become resistant to telepathy, and besides, your body has not fully recovered, I think when you fully recover, Eugene will definitely not be able to hide."

Logan comforted, patted Rojo on the shoulder again, and said, "Besides, Rojo didn't find out either, he's a healthy young man." ”

"What does this have to do with Rojo?"

Not to mention that the professor was stunned, Lorna on the side was also a little confused, sat up straight, her eyes fell on Rojo, and the girl smelled a different breath with her intuition for many years.

She wondered, "Do you have something to say?" ”

"Rojo, you are the protagonist in this matter, you say, I don't want to steal the show, to be honest, I want to watch the show more."

Logan. After Howlett finished speaking, he smiled and said nothing.

"Actually, it's nothing."

Rojo is a little embarrassed, mainly telepathy, this ability, after you have it, say that you don't like to read thinking, don't use it often, absolutely no one believes it.

In particular, he had used it on Lorna many times before, not just Lorna, but everyone in the base.

"Is there something wrong with you?"

Lorna's curiosity grew and she noticed that Rojo looked tangled and embarrassed, and she looked forward to it even more.

The professor on the side sensed something, and his old face showed a kind smile, and said, "Rojo, say it quickly, I want to hear it, is it the same as I guessed." ”

"Charles, can you guess that?"

Logan didn't believe it.

"Say it quickly."

Lorna couldn't wait to urge, at this time, suddenly, the metal necklace hanging on her chest actually floated up, and there was a familiar green light entangled, after a few struggles, it flew out of the snow-white neck, and spun a few times in mid-air.

Airplanes!!!

Whew!

In the next second, the necklace directly pierced a plastic bottle on the table, and then flew in front of the girl under Lorna's slightly trembling pupils.

"That's what I'm going to say."

Rojo pinched her stiff face, a coin, and jumped between his fingers, "I learned your abilities. ”

"You"

Lorna's eyes widened, slapped Rojo's hand away, and grabbed the necklace in the air, but was dodged, she tried to drag it back through the air, but the other party's strength was obviously greater than her own, and she couldn't pull it at all!

However, she felt the green light emitted from above, it was very familiar, and she could be 100% sure that it was the breath of her own ability!

She looked at the necklace, looked at Rojo in surprise, opened her mouth for a long time, and said in a word: "How did you do it, can you teach me." ”

"I'm afraid I can't teach it, it's my own ability."

Rojo shook his head

"Your ability is to learn from ours?"

Lorna wasn't stupid, no, she was very witty, of course she understood what Rojo was trying to say, but she still couldn't believe what was happening in front of her.

There are people who can learn other people's abilities, she has never seen or heard of them, such abilities are a bit too mythical.

"Professor, what do you guess?"

Rogan couldn't help but look at the professor and asked.

"I guessed learning and evolution, and it seems that I guessed correctly."

Professor Charles smiled and added, "Actually, I knew the answer after reading Logan's thoughts." ”

"Damn, you said you wouldn't do that again."

Logan subconsciously touched his head and said speechlessly, "I knew that I couldn't trust what a psychic mutant said too much. ”

"I'm sorry, I just looked forward to the secret between you too much."

Professor Charles smiled awkwardly.

Lorna, who was next to her, realized it and looked at Rojo, her eyes were full of anger, her face was flushed, she bit the corner of her lip, and asked coldly: "So, Rojo, you also have telepathy?" ”

"Hmm."

"And have you read my thoughts?"

"Well, there have been a few times."

"It turns out that you understand, so why do you still pretend not to understand!"
