Chapter 21: SHIELD's Watch

After Agent Maria Hill waved goodbye to Butler Warren in the car, she drove away from Osborne Manor.

In the rearview mirror, Agent Hill watched Butler Warren turn around and walk back to the manor, and the green expression on his face turned serious.

Agent Hill, or Agent Hill of the "Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Agency" did not drive too far, but stayed in a hidden trail near Osborne Manor.

She took out her cell phone, which had previously had all its photos deleted by Butler Butler, and entered a completely different unlock password into the unlock interface. What greeted Agent Hill was a brand new interface on the phone, and the ability to open the photo album. The dazzling array of photos afterwards.

Agent Hill opened the passenger seat, took out the laptop hidden under the driver's seat, and placed the phone in a groove of the laptop. The computer screen automatically lit up, and all the photos in the phone's photo album also lit up. At this moment it is completely transferred to the computer.

She classified these pictures, placed them in a folder named C-level, and opened two videos.

A video was taken from the Internet. In the video, Spider-Gwen and Professor Connors were fighting at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York. It ended with Spider-Gwen's victory and Professor Connors' escape.

The other video was obtained from the surveillance video inside the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York. In this video, after Gwen was kneeling in the corner and talking to the seriously injured Sheriff Stacey, she took off her coat to reveal her spider suit. , and the scene of rushing up to fight Professor Connors is vividly displayed.

Then, another window appeared on the computer, and Gwen's current information was displayed in the window.

Gwen Stacey, studying in Class A, Grade 2, Midtown Middle School;

Father George Stacey, currently a sergeant in the New York Police Department;

Mother Helen Stacey, homemaker.

In addition, the window also lists the details of various awards Gwen has received since childhood, as well as her interpersonal relationships.

Among them, Su Heng's name is marked in green in the column of recent interpersonal relationships.

After Agent Hill organized his thoughts, he began the mission reporting process.

According to surveillance video, Gwen Stacy was confirmed to be a superhero codenamed "Spider-Woman" who has recently been active on the streets of New York.

According to the alarm information from the gardener of Osborne Manor, shortly after the lizard man appeared in the manor, "Spider Woman" also appeared and fought the lizard man again.

But at the same time, appearing in the Osborne Manor at the same time as "Spider Woman" was the Night Magician who had been set as A-level in their bureau files.

In the report, Agent Hill specially marked the words "Dark Night Magician" as an important clue.

After editing these contents, Agent Hill's fingers kept tapping back and forth on the keyboard, as if thinking about something.

She moved her mouse to the column of Gwen's interpersonal relationships and clicked on Su Heng's name, which was marked green.

Then a new window appears.

Su Heng, a Chinese, settled in New York nine months ago. He successfully passed the American Pastry Chef Examination the following month and obtained the title of American Special Pastry Chef. He is now the manager of Lucky Dessert House outside Midtown Middle School.

"Night Magician" Agent Hill looked at Su Heng's name and fell into deep thought.

The Night Magician is a superhero who has been active from time to time under the New York night to solve various supernatural incidents since half a year ago, or more accurately, eight months ago.

The reason why this dark night magician was marked as an A-level file by the "Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Bureau" was not because of his destructive power, nor because of his antisocial personality.

But after many analyzes by the Bureau, it was discovered that after each supernatural event was solved, the Dark Night Magician could use the ability of the previously solved supernatural event in subsequent supernatural events.

"Every time you solve a supernatural event, you will gain its corresponding ability. What if you solve hundreds of them?"

"Even if his character is under control now, who can guarantee what will happen in the future?"

Under Director Nick Furina's thoughts of being prepared for danger in times of peace, the Bureau of Land and Resources decided to classify the Night Magician's files as A-level, and set the investigation of the Night Magician's true identity as a long-term task hanging on the bureau's task list.

As for the investigation, the agents of the Bureau of Land and Resources have their own methods, and the one used by Agent Hill is the time screening method.

The time when the Night Magician appeared was pushed forward, and the new households that came to New York to settle in that month were screened, and then the last month was screened, and the previous month was screened.

And so on.

Among them, Su Heng, as a new resident registered in New York as the Dark Night Magician, was naturally included as one of the observation targets.

But after a period of observation, Su Heng was always in a reclusive state, so he did not attract much attention from Agent Hill. After all, there are too many ordinary people like Su Heng in Agent Hill's files.

But according to today's information, if there is a certain connection between Spider-Woman and the Night Magician, then Gwen, as Spider-Woman, must also know the Night Magician.

In the column of Gwen's interpersonal relationships, Su Heng is the person who has had the most contact with Gwen in the past six months.

Unfortunately, there is no conclusive evidence to prove that Su Heng is the Dark Night Magician.

But the mere suspicion is enough for Agent Hill to re-mark Su Heng's name from green to yellow.

At least in the next period of time, Agent Hill's investigation on Su Heng will definitely be more intensive than before.

As long as Agent Hill is sure that Su Heng is the Dark Night Magician, he will be waiting for a conversation with Director Nick Fury.

At that time, whether Su Heng is recruited, imprisoned, or has other options, this is not a problem that Agent Hill needs to worry about.

And Su Heng naturally doesn't know that because of Gwen's identity being exposed, he is also suspected by the agents of SHIELD.

Now he and Gwen, under the effect of the magic card, are taking Professor Connors to the backyard of his dessert shop without anyone noticing.

"Are you sure you want to put Professor Connors here?" Gwen questioned Su Heng: "You know, there are people coming and going here. What if Professor Connors suddenly wakes up and the noise he makes attracts the attention of people around him?"

"Don't worry, the only thing that will never happen is making noise." Su Heng blinked at Gwen.

"But the professor is so big!" Gwen compared Professor Connors's body, which was more than two meters long: "Where do you plan to put him?"

"Well," Su Heng touched his chin, took Gwen to the door of a utility room that looked extremely narrow, and said to her mysteriously: "Here is fine."
