Kai guessed right. SHIELD soon learned about the mage organization and the Great Guardian, and of course also knew about the Space Stone.
But unlike what Natasha thought, Nick Fury didn't care about the space gems. Instead, he was very interested in the mage organization and the great guardian.
"Did Kai tell you how to find the mage organization?"
"Not really." Natasha shook her head. She asked, and so did Tony. But Kai said that if the mage didn't want anyone to find them, then no one would be able to find them, including Kai himself. On this point, Kai really didn't lie.
Kai did know that the original location of Karma Taj was in the Himalayas, but the problem was that these mages may not be very good at using other spells, but they were very good at using space spells to hide Karma Taj in reality and illusion. Between the cracks, it is just like playing for them. So technically, Karma Taj isn't even in this world. How to find it?
"The great guardian...does he know where this thing is?" Nick still paid no attention to the space gem. In fact, he is more interested in getting the legendary super magic circle that can monitor the world. SHIELD wouldn't allow something like this to be in the hands of an organization they didn't understand or even heard of! Such things should only and must be in the hands of SHIELD!
As for the great guardian protecting the earth from the prying eyes of threats from beyond the earth, he didn't care at all. It can even be said that it is extremely contemptuous!
After all, if that thing really worked, there wouldn't be that alien incident in the 1990s.
Natasha pointed to the sky.
"It's everywhere." Natasha shrugged, "At least that's what Kai said."
Nick's face darkened.
Natasha finally couldn't help it anymore: "The problem now is the space gem! Director!"
Nick glanced at Natasha and nodded: "We have noticed it, so we have been checking."
Nick did say that, but Natasha instinctively felt there was something wrong. She has been working for SHIELD for more than ten years, how could she not understand SHIELD's style? If it were normal, S.H.I.E.L.D. would have started frantically searching for it eight hundred years ago after hearing that such a secret treasure appeared on Earth.
It's definitely not as calm as Nick seems to be now. And the feeling Nick gave her made her feel that Nick definitely knew about the space gems... This can actually be explained. After all, SHIELD is the world's largest intelligence agency. It has been exposed to many supernatural things, and happened to know a little about the space gems. Not surprising. But Natasha always felt that Nick didn't care about it at all. This was not based on Nick's expression or emotion. As the king of agents, Nick's face may be the most deceptive face in the world. The expressions are not worthy of belief. Natasha was just conscious. She felt that SHIELD, or her director, was hiding something from her.
Of course, this is nothing. The director's confidentiality level is level 10, and she is only a level 6 agent. There were some things that were perfectly normal that she couldn't know.
"Okay, Natasha... just leave the rest to me. The most important thing for you now is..." Nick got stuck because he found that Natasha had too much to do. She was asked to investigate the information from Xia and others from Kai, as well as the information from Thor's Hammer, and the Ghost Rider, and now the wizard and the Great Guardian were added...
"Try your best to collect useful information." It's hard to say which of these things is more important, but there is no doubt that SHIELD is particularly concerned about them. So that's all Nick could say.
"Understood." Natasha hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to try again: "Director, I think the space gem is more important. Kai said that if the space gem cannot be retrieved as soon as possible... the tragedy of the Battle of Los Angeles will be Become the norm on Earth!”
Nick nodded, looking serious: "I understand."
Natasha was a little unsure whether she really listened to it or not. But that was all she could do.
But what she didn't know was that just as she turned to leave, Nick looked at her differently.
Soon Nick showed up at the New York branch office.
Phil has been very embarrassed recently. He hasn't left the New York branch for a long time.
"Director...Hawkeye's matter." Phil is not worried about himself now. No matter what, the New York police will not really raid the New York branch of SHIELD. That is unrealistic. But Hawkeye is miserable.
Nick also had a headache.
Hawkeye... New York will not allow Hawkeye to walk out of the cell like this. The loss was too great this time. No matter how much SHIELD tried to quibble, it would be impossible to really take it out. Even before at the Sanfei Headquarters in Washington, SHIELD consultant Alexander Pierce had already hinted at Nick Fury. Hawkeye...has to give up. If SHIELD is not willing to pay even this, then SHIELD will become everyone's enemy. No one wants to see S.H.I.E.L.D. on top of everyone else.
Although SHIELD still prefers to rescue Hawkeye, no one really thinks that this disaster has nothing to do with Hawkeye.
"I have started the replacement plan, and I will have Hawkeye come out in a few days."
Phil looked up suddenly at Nick. The so-called stand-in program is actually a by-product of a very secret experiment by SHIELD. Replicant experiment.
While outside scientists were still having headaches about primate cloning, in fact, as early as the 1970s, the human cloning project was secretly launched within S.H.I.E.L.D., speaking of which, this plan was based on Captain America’s super soldier project. Continuation, because at that time any super soldier serum research had hit a dead end, so someone asked why not simply use Captain America’s DNA to clone a new Captain America. In this way, not only would there be more test subjects, the base would be easier to produce results naturally, but also Enjoy the convenience of owning Captain America.
So the research on cloning technology began. Of course, all attempts to clone Captain America ended in failure. Even the cloning technology itself has a flaw that is difficult to solve, and that is the brains of clones. They have no consciousness and are just living corpses.
Then cloning fell by the wayside. It was just used again in the hands of Nick Fury.
It was used to create stand-ins for some important people within S.H.I.E.L.D. The scope of application of this kind of stand-in is very small, so very few people actually use it at present. Nick said that he had already launched the plan, which meant that Hawkeye already had a substitute. This kind of substitute is matured through various means, and it only takes a few days to grow up and look exactly like the cloned body.
"You want Hawkeye to fake his death and escape?"
"This is the only way at the moment. Once Hawkeye's case enters the judicial process, we will be very passive. Hawkeye will also receive the strictest penalty." Nick nodded and said.
"But if this happens... Hawkeye won't be able to appear in front of the public." Phil worried.
Unexpectedly, Nick smiled: "Anyway, the work done by Hawkeye does not require appearing in front of the public."
This is true, Hawkeye is a SHIELD field agent, and a top-notch one, so he doesn't need to appear in public at all. But only Nick knows...it turns out that Hawkeye is a member of his Avengers plan, and even represents S.H.I.E.L.D.! But now...
Anyway, it's important to save your life.
"By the way, I will send a new person to Kai after a while."
Phil was confused, it seemed like...there was no need to tell him about this kind of thing. "What? Is there something wrong with Natasha?"
"Not at all...it's just that we need to pay more attention to Kai." Nick did not express the doubts in his heart.
Yes, Nick doesn't trust Natasha that much now. It's not that Natasha betrayed SHIELD, but... Natasha brought her own personal emotions into her work, which was very dangerous. Nick has been an agent for so many years and is very familiar with this situation. Agents are human too, and no one is immune to emotion, but this can be a disaster for an agent's job. But whatever happens next, Nick feels he needs to do something.
Phil frowned but didn't say much.
"What do you need me to do?"
"You also know the newcomer. Felicia Hardy." Nick did not say anything directly, but told the newcomer's identity.
"Felicia Hardy!! She just graduated from Secret Service Academy, can she do it?"
Felicia Hardy was born in Queens, New York. Her father, Walter Hardy, was a salesman on the surface, but in fact, he was secretly active in the civet thief at the turn of the century. This civet is no ordinary civet, and was once on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives. He is an experienced, resourceful, and highly skilled thief. This guy not only steals, but also robs banks and goes on a rampage. The biggest characteristic of this thief is that he only takes money and does not hurt anyone.
Until he met S.H.I.E.L.D.
He fell.
After being imprisoned, Walter Hardy did not give up on being a good father. He always encouraged Felicia to constantly pursue perfection and extremes, just like if she likes basketball, she should strive to become an excellent basketball player. Rather than just being a cheerleader.
And Felicia did not disappoint her father. She was admitted to Cornell University (one of the top ten universities in the United States) with excellent academic performance and became a star of the college basketball team.
The future looks bright.
Unfortunately, in her freshman year of college, she suffered the second blow in her life. She was knocked unconscious and violated by her boyfriend Ryan.
Afterwards, she vowed to take revenge, but before she could make any move, she was stopped by Phil.
It turns out that the big thief civet was Phil's first case when he entered S.H.I.E.L.D., and it was because of this case that Phil was spotted by Nick. At that time, Phil arrested Felicia's father in front of her, which made Phil feel a little guilty for Felicia inexplicably. During the years when Felicia was growing up, Phil had always taken care of her overtly and covertly.
Phil didn't want Felicia to turn to crime because of that bastard.
But things are so interesting. Just when Phil promised Felicia that he would help her teach her damn ex-boyfriend a lesson, that guy died after driving under the influence.
This moved Felicia so much that her uncle Phil actually killed someone for herself!
So she joined S.H.I.E.L.D. out of gratitude or admiration.
And that's it.
No wonder Nick specifically asked Phil.
"It doesn't matter, I don't need her to do anything dangerous. Kai's secretary just happened to be transferred to the Special Affairs Investigation Department. I just asked her to be Kai's secretary." Nick Fury explained. This explanation made Phil relax a lot. After all, he was a civilian, so how could something go wrong.
"But...what about Felicia's problem?"
Because of being violated by her boyfriend, she has an extreme hatred of men, commonly known as male phobia.
Now it was Nick's turn to be speechless.
"I didn't intend to let her sell her body. Just build a good relationship with Kai. Kai's previous secretary, unlike others, had nothing to do with Kai, but could Kai treat her differently? You don't have to worry."
"Okay..."
"Also, come and help me in a while."
"But here in New York..."
"There's something wrong with the Pegasus Project!" Nick interrupted.
Phil immediately understood the importance of the matter when he heard it. The Pegasus Project, also known as the Pegasus Project, was established roughly in the 1980s. It was originally a research project jointly established by NASA, the Air Force and S.H.I.E.L.D., dedicated to the development of alternative energy and new engines. But when Howard, one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Iron Man's father, salvaged the Cosmic Cube, S.H.I.E.L.D. threw away the other two departments and planned to develop alternative energy and light-speed engines.
This plan was once interrupted due to the invasion of aliens, and was not restarted until recently.
But it is undeniable that this is one of the most important plans of the entire SHIELD. Its core cosmic cube is the basis for Hydra to dominate the world in the Second World War, and it has endless energy. It is very important.
Phil is one of the few SHIELD agents who knows about this plan. Now that the plan has gone wrong, it is understandable that Nick will transfer him into the plan. What's more, New York has become very bad. Instead of leaving Phil here to waste energy, it is better to use him in other positions.
"Yes!"
...
Kai actually had no requirements for his secretary at the beginning. It was the first time in his two lives that he used a secretary. He didn't think that he couldn't do anything without a secretary. But reality slapped him hard, and he really couldn't do anything.
There is no way. There are too many documents. If no one organizes and sends them, it will greatly affect efficiency.
So yesterday Kai called George and asked him to help him get a secretary. Anyone is fine. As long as he is as smart as Misty.
For the position of the director's secretary, many police officers want it. Unfortunately, the secretary attribute immediately eliminated 80% of the male comrades. After all, who would prepare a male secretary for a male boss?
The female police officers were even more enthusiastic about this.
But no one expected that the next day the deputy director announced that the secretary had been found, recommended by one of his comrades.
A beautiful woman!
This made George get the cold shoulder from the female comrades. What a shady deal!
