Hunter starting from Hunter World

Is this the obelisk?

Looking at the object on the table with a silvery metallic luster and a touch of modern art, Allen tried to reach out a finger and touch the surface.

moment!

Countless symbols and patterns emerged, emitting golden light around them.

There is no doubt that the alien gene he extracted from Skye's blood played a role.

Otherwise, the power contained within will not hesitate to try to kill every contact who does not possess alien genes.

Allen was not sure whether this was the power of the obelisk itself or the Terrigen crystal hidden inside.

Or is it the combination of the two that produces such a strange phenomenon?

But in any case, this item is somewhat similar to genetic identification, which fundamentally prevents people who are not from the alien race from using it.

Yes, this is the obelisk. You must know that Hydra went to great lengths to get him, even at the risk of being exposed. I really want to know now, what exactly is it? And what kind of danger it has .”

As Coulson spoke, he picked up the whiskey on the table and poured himself a glass.

As a dedicated agent, he almost never drank during working hours because alcohol makes people lose self-control.

But since he became the director of SHIELD, secretly hiding in the office and drinking a drink was one of the few ways he could relax his tense nerves and decompress himself.

Especially after the reorganization of SHIELD, it can be said that it needs money but no money, and no one wants people.

All employees combined may not have as many people as the FBI headquarters in a big city.

Otherwise, when something happens, he, the director, will always rush to the front line directly.

Compared to Nick Fury, who was comfortably hiding behind the scenes to command and dispatch, and even embezzling public funds unscrupulously, Coulson's role as director was simply extremely frustrating.

Allen pretended to play with the obelisk for a while, then pointed to the uneven patterns on the base and said: Judging from its appearance and function, it should be a container that needs to be opened in a specific place.

A specific place? Colson frowned subconsciously, and a strange pattern instantly appeared in his mind.

That was what he discovered accidentally when he led his team to perform tasks before Hydra launched the Insight Project.

Later, this pattern appeared repeatedly in Hydra's lair or in some cultural relics.

moment!

A flash of light dispelled the fog that had been unclear in Colson's mind. He immediately took out the picture from his desk, raised his head and drank all the liquor in the cup, and then said to himself excitedly : That's it! This is not a circuit diagram or code word at all, but a map. I was so stupid! I didn't think of it at all before.

Obviously, because he did not receive the resurrection of Kree blood, he was not constantly driven by instinct to search for the temple hidden underground like in the original plot.

So until now, I haven't realized what that strange picture means, and I haven't even found any useful clues at all.

But after being reminded by Allen, he immediately connected the two after many years of investigative work.

Without any hesitation, Coulson, who got the new clues, immediately rushed into the laboratory with the picture, faced Simmons and Fitz, two logistics scientists, and ordered: Immediately reanalyze this picture according to the map! I'll give it to you. You guys give it half an hour, and I’ll confirm its location in half an hour.”

map?!

An expression of enlightenment suddenly appeared on Fitz's face, and he immediately entered the pattern into the computer and performed three-dimensional projection.

With the powerful performance of computers, hundreds of intricate underground mazes can be built in just a few seconds.

Oh my god! It turns out it's really a map! There's something wrong with our thinking! Simmons on the side also covered his mouth in surprise.

no way!

Because they followed Coulson and were exposed to too many events related to aliens and mysterious forces, their thinking went into a misunderstanding, and they would always inadvertently associate in the direction of high technology or magic symbols.

But who would have thought that this is actually an ordinary floor plan.

What? What's the problem? Skye heard the movement and came over.

It's the Obelisk. We're finally going to reveal its secrets, Coulson responded with a smile.

Really? Then...then my life experience is not...

This young girl's whole person revealed a kind of excitement and urgency that cannot be described in words.

Obviously, she had learned that the Hydra that wanted to seize the obelisk was closely related to her becoming an orphan.

It's just that so far, her father who is hiding behind the scenes and controlling everything has not shown up yet.

Don't worry, we will help you find the answer. Coulson comforted softly.

Thanks!

Skye glanced gratefully at the boss who had rescued her from the quagmire.

In other words, in her subconscious, she has regarded Colson as the father she can rely on at any time.

But Colson smiled and shook his head: No, the person you should thank is not me, but Mr. Allen. If he hadn't reminded me, I would never have thought of the relationship between the obelisk and this picture.

Alan? You...when did you come back!

Only then did Skye notice the short figure behind Colson, and embarrassment and embarrassment suddenly appeared on his face.

Because she would never forget that the last time she dealt with the Enchantress, she almost turned into a pervert.

Similarly, Simmons lowered his head and did not dare to look at him.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the laboratory became full of weirdness.

Compared with the two young ladies, Allen was undoubtedly thicker-skinned. He shrugged his shoulders pretending to be nonchalant: You're welcome. In fact, I am also very interested in this matter. You know, at the Obelisk The things in it are inextricably linked to the recessive genes in your body.

I?

As soon as Skye heard that it was related to her own life experience, she immediately put her self-consciousness and embarrassment behind her.

After all, things like life experience and bloodline are related to a person's sense of belonging and self-identity, and are by no means something that can be given up easily.

This is why many adopted children choose to find their biological parents when they grow up.

Even if the vast majority of people find their biological parents, they will not live with them, but will choose to continue to live with their adoptive parents.

Although Allen was not an orphan, he could understand this strong desire and nodded slightly: That's right! Do you remember what I told you when we first met? In your body It contains some kind of power that has not yet been awakened, and what is stored in the obelisk is the key to unlocking it.”

Power...power? You mean, I will get super powers from this? Skye's mouth opened in disbelief.

Although as a middle school girl, she once had similar delusions and even worshiped the heroes of the Avengers as idols.

But when it really came to him, he felt an inexplicable fear.

Yes! Regarding this aspect, I have obtained some information from the supreme wisdom of the Kree people. In fact, when the war broke out between the Kree Empire and the Skrull Empire, they had come to the earth and targeted the humans at that time. A series of biological experiments were conducted to create a group of powerful super warriors to meet the needs of war. However, due to various reasons, these created super warriors were abandoned. And they His name is called a stranger!

The moment the words Alien came out of Allen's mouth, Skye's whole body seemed to be concentrated by thunder and lightning, standing motionless.

Because she has vaguely realized why she was abandoned by her parents, why she became the 084 item marked by SHIELD, and why Hydra desires the obelisk so much.

After a full minute, Coulson, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., took a deep breath and asked, How many aliens are there on Earth now?

Not too many, not too few. The number of people who have awakened should only be about a few thousand. But the number hidden among ordinary people may be very large, perhaps tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions or thousands. Ten thousand. You have to understand that aliens can be traced back thousands of years ago, and any of their descendants who are numerous in number have a very high chance of carrying alien genes. It’s just that the awakening of alien power requires a ritual. Those who have not experienced it The strangers who perform this kind of ritual behave no differently from ordinary people on weekdays. Allen explained in a nonchalant manner.

How many...tens of millions of potential superpowers?!

The corner of Melinda's mouth twitched as she just walked in from the door.

Not to mention her, everyone in the entire laboratory who heard these words fell into unconcealable shock.

There is no way not to be shocked!

You must know that just a few members of the Avengers and the super soldiers trained by Hydra have already made the world extremely chaotic.

If tens of millions more aliens with superpowers emerge, it will be strange that the earth will not be in chaos.

Maybe if they get together, they can overthrow the existing government and form a country completely ruled by aliens.

It's potential! Don't forget, the awakening of alien abilities requires a ritual. Allen corrected meaningfully.

I understand! You want to say that if Skye wants to awaken as an alien, he must take the obelisk to the place where the Kree built it to perform this ritual, right? Fitz probed cautiously. .

What about the danger? Is the success rate of alien awakening 100%? Is there any case of death due to failed awakening?

Coulson is undoubtedly more concerned about the safety of his men than his strength.

In his view, superpowers are often more of a curse than a blessing.

If you look at the unfortunate superheroes in the Avengers, you will know that they are not happy at all now.

As far as I know, the success rate of alien awakening is 100%, and there is no mortality rate of even 0.01%. The only problem is that before awakening, no one knows what the alien's awakening ability is. Kerry According to human records, some aliens will change their appearance while gaining superpowers. For example, they will grow a pair of furry animal ears, or have an extra tail behind their backs, and some even have their skin covered with layer of hard scales. Some changes are controllable, but some are permanent.

While saying this, Allen deliberately glanced at Skye's head and behind her butt, deepening the young girl's worry.

Of course, just growing a pair of fluffy ears and a tail would not make Skye ugly, but would make her more adorable and exotic.

But the thing is, if the skin was replaced by scales, it would be a lot of fun.

No woman doesn’t care about her appearance and figure.

Many times, they would rather give up their powerful power than become a monster or ugly person.

Damn! It sounds like the alien awakening process is like drawing cards. Fitz couldn't help but complain.

He obviously plays a lot of mobile games recently, and he is full of resentment towards this semi-gambling gameplay.

Forget it, don't think about it, find out the place where the ceremony will be held first. As for whether Skye wants to perform this ceremony, it's up to her to make her own decision. Colson interrupted the discussion on this topic.

He must know what the so-called ritual is and what plays a key role in the awakening of the stranger.

Otherwise, if all the tens of millions of aliens around the world suddenly wake up overnight, World War III will probably start in minutes.

Soon, at the urging of the director of SHIELD, everyone in the entire headquarters began to get busy finding the location of the map.

Only Skye sneaked into the room where Allen rested, then locked the door behind his back, sat down on the sofa opposite, and asked nervously: I am an alien, does that mean that both my parents are aliens? , or is one of them?

Allen nodded without thinking: Yes. Judging from the purity of the genes contained in the bloodline, one of your parents must be a stranger who has awakened his power. If nothing else, Hydra should have found it. They, and then some conflict broke out.

In other words, they didn't intend to abandon me, but they had no choice but to abandon me? Skye's mood suddenly became excited.

You know, she has been thinking about it all these years, why on earth did her biological parents abandon her?

Can’t afford to raise children due to financial reasons?

Or did the two finally separate due to emotional differences, and no one wanted to be a burden to them?

Or are they a pair of irresponsible parents who don't want children at all and are just by-products of happy sports?

But now, Skye finally understands that it's not that her parents don't love her, but that they encountered danger and reluctantly chose to give up in order to protect herself...
