Marvel's The Force Awakens

In the blink of an eye, two days flew by.

As the terrorist attack in New York comes to an end, various aspects of the investigation into the attack have begun to hit dead ends.As the stalemate came and no more breaking news came out, the major media began to dig out new headlines on another aspect of the incident.

"The red shadow in the night, the guardian of New York City"

"Knight in red armor"

Contrary to their previous skepticism or neutral attitude toward Red Mask, these media now spare no effort to praise this figure who played a big role in the police battle.His intervention saved the lives of at least a dozen police officers. This behavior can undoubtedly be described as heroic.

And a heroic image, with proper operation, is enough for them to have enough content to fill their newspapers and programs in the next two to three months.Of course, it would be great if there was other news about this hero during this period.

With a new round of media bombardment, his popularity among New Yorkers has become higher and higher, and his image has gradually changed from mixed praise to a positive one.Suddenly, not only people in New York City, but also people in other parts of the country heard his name.

Of course, this reputation also attracts the attention of a special group of people.

Washington, Trident Building.

This building with three buildings assembled in a ring is located on an artificial island built on the Potomac River. The only bridge leading to the outside world is heavily guarded.Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Agency, referred to as Shield, S.H.I.E.L.D.This organization, which has existed since the late World War II, has only one goal: to protect the security of the United States and its allies.

On the highest floor of the Trident Building, Nick Fury, director of S.H.I.E.L.D., stepped out of his office.This one-eyed black man with an eyepatch was wearing an extended windbreaker and had a cigar in his mouth.And before he could pull the lighter out of his pocket, his phone was buzzing.He glanced at the incoming call information on the screen, his face suddenly fell, and he could only put the cigar back into the box angrily.

"It's me." He pressed the answer button and his expression became serious.Agent Hill is one of his most capable men. If there is nothing important, she will not come to him through a personal phone call. "What's the matter"

"Regarding the New York attack, have you read the report?" Agent Hill's slightly cold voice came from the other end of the phone.Fury pondered for a moment, then thought of the report he spent more than ten minutes reviewing the night before.

"Although it was distorted into a terrorist attack on the news, it was essentially a vicious gang incident. Although I have to say that I am surprised by the low quality of the New York police, this matter has not yet escalated to the national level. " Fury summed up the information in his mind unhurriedly, but there were still some doubts in his heart.Maria Hill should know that this matter is not under SHIELD's jurisdiction. "Or have you found the source of the nerve gas?"

"No, but there are indeed new developments in the situation." Hill replied briefly, and then closed his mouth.Hearing this inexplicable silence, Fury's expression suddenly became playful.

New developments new enough for S.H.I.E.L.D.

If it can alert SHIELD, then this matter must be some factor that can directly threaten the stability of the country.On the other hand, even if this happened, the first thing Agent Hill should do is report to the appropriate department within the bureau, instead of calling him directly like now.

Unless... not many people can know about this.Fury looked around him calmly, then turned sideways and opened the fire escape door next to him.After entering the fire escape, he gently pressed a hidden button on his watch.A radio wave invisible to the naked eye suddenly emanated from the watch. Within five meters of him, all instruments for eavesdropping or intercepting signals would fail.

"Okay, you can continue talking." After confirming that there was no one around him, Fury spoke again.And Agent Hill on the other end of the phone had already

After waiting for a long time, he continued without hesitation.

"First of all, there were at least four special individuals who exceeded the limits of human beings in this incident. In addition to the red mask about whom we have collected a little information before, he seems to have a companion with similar strength. We have no more updates for the time being. More details about him, but he should have been working with this red mask for quite some time.”

"You can use this as a breakthrough. But you also know that their level of enhancement is at most equivalent to that of level three mutants, and it is difficult to even affect a city. Presumably, the important information you mentioned should be the same as the rest. The two of them must be related."

"Exactly." Agent Hill replied affirmatively. "The remaining two people had a brief encounter on No. 16 Avenue in New York. One of them should be an absconding prisoner: Carl Lucas. He should be serving in Highgate Prison now, but now he has changed his identity , became a subordinate of a gang boss."

"Haimen Prison" Fury's fingers unconsciously tapped the steel handrail beside him, and he quickly searched for the corresponding information in his mind. "If I remember correctly, that should be Dr. Bostan's experimental site. It seems that his super soldier serum research has achieved some results. Take some time and organize a team to recover the corresponding experimental data. ."

"As ordered." Agent Hill accepted the order cleanly and continued. "As for the other person, we were unable to find any information about him at all. He is surrounded by a group of well-trained companions who seem to have military backgrounds. They possess a large number of prohibited-level arms, and we are completely unable to find out these Where the arms come from. More importantly..."

At this point, Agent Hill seemed a little hesitant and didn't know how to continue.

"What is it?" Fury asked, and Hill could only grit his teeth and continue.

"This person seems to be somewhat consistent with the person Agent Romanoff once said." It seemed that she was not used to reporting unconfirmed news, and Agent Hill's tone was full of hesitation. "The physical description, the method of attack, and the characteristics that cannot be found out at all are very similar. From a personal point of view, there is at least a [-]% chance that the two are the same person."

"You said it was [-]% possible, so the reliability of this news is already very high." Fury's tone became deeper, and his eyebrows wrinkled in thought. "The Winter Soldier...the man who is like a ghost and can never be traced...Since he appears, does that mean that the malicious force is also involved in this?"

"Yes, since this person has appeared, it means that this incident in New York is enough for us to take seriously." Agent Hill's tone was also a bit serious. "After all...the power this person represents..."

Fury nodded unconsciously.The Winter Soldier, this elite soldier who seems to be a mystery, has been active in the past forty years and participated in dozens of incidents, large and small.And every incident he appeared in ended up causing considerable obstacles or even losses to SHIELD.SHIELD spent decades trying to find out who the beneficiary was.

The illogical nature of the information made Fury suspect that it was all just a coincidence.After all, this Winter Soldier first appeared more than 40 years ago, and he is now at least 60 years old.No one can still maintain such terrifying fighting power at this age.And even under the search of such a powerful force as SHIELD, the mysterious force still did not find any clues.The most reasonable inference is that it never existed from the beginning.

Fury, however, knew he couldn't let his guard down completely.If this organization really exists, its threat to SHIELD and even the world will be incredible.

"Immediately use all the resources at hand to investigate the causes and consequences of the New York incident." At this time, Fury had completely changed his indifferent mentality at the beginning. "Seize all the clues and get to the bottom of this matter. The United States is our home ground, and we cannot let them slip away so easily this time."

After hearing Fury's order, Agent Hill rarely responded immediately. Instead, he fell into an embarrassing silence.After a while, she spoke again, and this time, her tone seemed even more hesitant.

"How should I put it... Director... we may have found a fairly reliable source of information."
