Chapter 239 A Bold Idea

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

Aylin paid more attention to another oil painting found from Alexander Pixar's basement.

This is a beautiful landscape painting.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, a vibrant tree flutters in the wind, surrounded by a green grassland.

At the end of the grass, there seemed to be a number of figures chasing and playing, but they were far away, and their appearance could not be clearly seen, and it was not even possible to tell whether they were men or women.

Farther away in the sky, white clouds weighed very low, like fluffy marshmallows that might fall from the sky at any time.

[Dream Painting: A devil who is nostalgic for the world, in order to commemorate his former hometown, painted a picture with his own hands. Everyone who sees this painting can't help but be immersed in the beautiful scenery in the picture. 】

[Note: The devil is always selfish. Even the hometown in his painting does not want to be shared by others. 】

[Characteristic 1: Everyone who looks at this painting will be chased by the goblin in the painting. As long as the painting is not destroyed, the goblin in the painting can be reborn infinitely. However, every goblin in the painting is chasing the same person. It will only appear once as an individual. 】

[Characteristic 2: The hunt for the fairies in the painting is just the beginning, not the end. After defeating the goblin in the painting, you will see the real abyss after looking at this oil painting. This oil painting carries the curse of a superior demon. Everyone who looks at this painting will be marked by this painting. When you fall asleep, you will be pulled into the world of the oil painting, and then... ···Fall into the abyss. 】

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

[Containment method: After forcibly killing the goblin in the painting, when night comes, light 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', In the ancient castle that goes straight to the depths of the painting, as long as you defeat the demon mark left deep in the painting, you will become the new owner of this oil painting. (PS: After thousands of years have passed, the mark of the devil in the painting has faded)]

After seeing the detailed introduction of this oil painting.

Even Aylin couldn't help but be surprised.

To put it into perspective, this oil painting seems to be no smaller than a lucky ring.

After all, in this world, the upper-level demons in the hell dimension are much stronger than the gods in the general pantheon.

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

No wonder Alexander Pickles hung this oil painting at the only entrance to his basement.

With this oil painting protected, Alexander Pierce no longer has to worry about someone entering his basement and stealing important information.

Without the guidance of Alexander Pix, anyone who entered his basement would probably die in mysterious circumstances.

Ordinary people cannot invade Alexander Pixar's basement. Even if they escape the attack of the goblin in the painting, they will eventually be pulled into the abyss in their sleep.

Fortunately, when Aylin hypnotized Alexander Pix, he also got the avoidance method of this oil painting from him (close your eyes and don't look at this oil painting).

Otherwise, even he will fall into the trap if he is careless.

In addition to these extraordinary items.

Arryn also received two thousand fate points when Bucky blew up Alexander Peaks.

Although these destiny points were not many, they also replenished Aylin's withered wallet.

Moreover, according to the information provided by Alexander Pierce himself, Aylin also found a USB flash drive and a hidden asset list in a secret corner of the basement.

In Aylin's eyes.

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

And even more.

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

A complete list of HYDRA members.

Whether it is his identity as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent on the surface or his secret identity as Hydra, they are all invisible to ordinary people.

Because of the special nature of the work, and also because of concerns about information leakage.

Alexander Pierce's Hydra can be said to have the best confidentiality measures among all Hydras.

Ordinary members of this Hydra basically follow the principle of single-line contact.

Therefore, except for their subordinates and superiors, or their partners who have cooperated in missions, they have no idea who else is in Hydra.

They only know that within SHIELD, Hydra is extremely powerful.

That's why.

Captain America, who traveled back in time from Infinity War, could easily deceive Hydra in an elevator by saying "Long live Hydra".

Because...they really regard Captain America as a member of Hydra.

Among Alexander Pierce's hydra, I'm afraid there is no other person besides himself who has such a detailed list.

Looking at the list in front of me and the asset list recording Hydra's huge property, a sudden thought came to me.

Suddenly something suddenly appeared in Aylin's mind.

"Maybe...I can do this..."

Just as Aylin was counting the spoils seized from Alexander Pierce.

Inside a hidden dam.

Nick Fury, who was suffering from extensive burns and relying on instruments and liquid medicine to barely stay alive, heard the latest information from Natasha.

He couldn't help but curse "Fuck".

Because he was too excited, the instruments that detected Nick Fury's physical data suddenly sounded a series of sharp alarms.

It was not until several doctors forcibly injected Nick Fury with a sedative that the shrill alarm slowly subsided.

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

Maria Hill pulled Natasha and Captain America out of the "simple" ward where Nick Fury was treated.

After leaving the ward.

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

"What... is going on?"

Captain America, who was following Natasha, also said: "In fact, I also want to know what is going on. Before coming here, I thought Director Fury was dead, and I even ordered flowers and condolences at the flower shop."

Looking at Natasha and Captain America who were questioning him, Hill shook his head and said: "Don't look at me like that. In fact, I only knew that Fury was not dead one day earlier than you."

As he said that, Hill turned his head and looked at the drugstore not far away. Nick Fury, who fell into coma again under the influence of the drug, sighed and said: "Originally, Director Fury should have explained all this to you, but now let me explain it to you..."

"I don't know how Director Fury escaped from the exploding helicopter, and he didn't say it, but we have some guesses about who tampered with his helicopter."

"I guess Fury has told you about Hydra. If we are right, the people who attacked Nick Fury this time were those who infiltrated SHIELD from Hydra."

"After learning of Nick Fury's death, Alexander Pierce temporarily served as the acting director of SHIELD and took over all the authority of SHIELD. We suspect that he is the mastermind behind the plan to murder Nick Fury, the leader of Hydra hidden in the dark."

"Maybe... That's why Nick Fury was so excited after hearing the news you brought back, Natasha, because the death of Alexander Pierce means that our previous speculation is likely to be wrong."

Looking at Maria Hill's bitter smile, Captain America Steve on the side said puzzledly: "Why are you so excited? You would suspect that Alexander Pierce is the mastermind behind Hydra. Didn't he promote Nick Fury himself? "

"Alexander Pierce is the Minister of the World Security Council and the former Director of SHIELD. If he is really Hydra, then there is no need for him to promote Nick Fury to be the Director of SHIELD. And as far as I know, after Nick Fury's accident, it was he who vigorously investigated 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 Captain America to leave a message like in the original book.

So in order to win over Captain America and the agents of SHIELD, Alexander Pierce did a lot of superficial work.

And now it seems that he did a good job.

At least, the current Captain America has never doubted Alexander Pierce.

Hearing this, Maria Hill said: "No, that's why we are more suspicious of him. In the SHIELD headquarters building, avoiding the eyes of countless agents, and then forcibly installing a bomb on the helicopter that the director was riding in, and it has not even been exposed until now. Do you know how many people's cooperation is needed to do this?"

"In the entire SHIELD, I am afraid that only Alexander Pierce has such a huge power and influence that he can hide it from Nick Fury and do all this secretly."

"And the most important thing is that after Nick Fury's death, he obtained all the authority of SHIELD and gained the most benefits."

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

So Nick Fury and Maria Hill think that Alexander Pierce is the murderer.

But at the end, Maria Hill smiled bitterly again:

"But now it seems that Alexander Pierce is a target deliberately set up by Hydra hidden in the dark in order to divert our direction, otherwise he would not die at this time."

Natasha, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "You are right. If Minister Pierce is really Hydra, he would not have been in trouble at this time after eliminating Director Fury and temporarily taking over as Director of SHIELD."

"And the New York Police Department has found Minister Pierce's body that was blown into a pile of minced meat and two relatively intact feet through DNA matching two hours ago. His death could not be faked like Director Fury. This also further excludes the possibility that Minister Pierce is Hydra."

"In this case, let's change direction. If Minister Pierce is not Hydra, then why was he assassinated at this time?"

"Two SHIELD directors died in a row, and Minister Pierce's identity, even if Hydra is powerful, it can't do this easily! After all, after Director Nick Fury's 'death', for his own safety, Minister Pierce specially mobilized a team of agents to protect him."

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

"Do you think that after Minister Pierce took over SHIELD, he was killed because he really investigated something..."

If Ayling was here, he would have laughed so hard to hear Natasha's serious analysis.

Hydra killed their boss to silence him, this is really a bold idea!

But because of the information gap, Natasha's possibility is now the most logical guess.

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

"What you said is possible, but it's just our speculation now."

"Director Fury must have more information about Hydra than us. When he wakes up, we can tell him these speculations and see his reaction."

Natasha and Captain America looked at each other opposite Maria Hill, and then sighed silently.

Now, this is the only way.

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 foods.

After placing the breakfast he prepared and a table of special foods.

After checking the time.

Erin went to the first floor, opened the door, and smiled at the figure who was about to press the doorbell: "Surprise!"
