Laura's Beautiful Journey
Chapter 228 Obelisk
Fury moved quickly. Although he didn't know why Laura was suddenly interested in the obelisk, he still sent someone to deliver the packed things to her villa the next day, and he also brought a sentence:
"Treat Frank Custer with all your strength. If you need help, just ask."
Watching the note burn in her hands, Laura stared at the huge metal box that was delivered and remained silent. She couldn't understand Nick Fury anymore.
As the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., he failed to detect the infiltration of Hydra in time. His subordinates, such as Garrett, were forced to go astray. It seemed that everything could be quantified, monetized, and profited in his single eye. Transformation, the original time and space even used Coulson's death to make a fuss, and later forced the good old agent to resurrect him using immature technology regardless of the wishes of the good old agent.
But now, for Frank Custer, the Punisher, Nick Fury is handing out favors and resources with ease, and is so contradictory that he doesn't seem to be the same person.
"Forget it, it's useless to think so much. Who knows if this Fury is Fury now."
Putting aside the messy thoughts, Laura picked up the half-human-high metal box with one hand and turned away under the gaze of the Level 4 agent with twitching eyelids.
"As expected of a non-human being, something weighing several tons was taken away so casually."
The agent muttered that this time the transport mission bureau had specially approved a Quinjet as a vehicle for him. After the Battle of New York, the Quinjet was already a treasure of S.H.I.E.L.D. After all, the inventory that was finally accumulated was basically the same. All destroyed.
After Laura walked into the laboratory, she put the metal box on the stage and waved to call up the relevant instructions sent by Nick Fury.
"The obelisk is said to have existed for a long time, and the carbon 1945 dating method cannot effectively detect it. When Hydra transferred it from its base in Austria in , it was destroyed by Agent Carter and the Howling Commandos who tracked it down. He captured the base and brought the obelisk back to the Strategic Science Corps for safekeeping and research.
Hydra documents describe it as a power that 'can explain death itself'. From the SSR to SHIELD era, a total of three senior researchers died because of it and were subsequently sealed for safekeeping. "
Since everyone who had touched the obelisk body was petrified and died, SHIELD, worried that it would spread through alienation, first made a ten-centimeter alloy box that was isolated from detection, and then put the fixed obelisk inside. .
Laura naturally knows that this thing is actually the Terrigen crystal used by the Inhumans to activate their own genes. Black Bolt, who was previously mind-controlled by the super star, has a bunch of it in his home. Only the remaining Inhumans on the earth regard this thing as baby.
After opening the metal box in twos and twos, the obelisk body contained in the glass container reappeared in the world.
"Rachel, scan the characteristics of this object and search the entire Internet for relevant information."
The reason why she asked for the obelisk from the black braised egg was naturally for Skye, but in her mind, it seemed that this thing couldn't be used directly and needed a special ceremony or venue. In fact, it was also a good idea to go to the moon and ask those aliens. , but Laura still planned to look for it by herself first.
Originally, she thought that humans would have little interest in such items with unknown uses, but it turned out that she was wrong. Rachel found hundreds of documents just by searching based on the image of an obelisk.
"Good guy, I didn't expect that all of them are talented people."
Laura roughly picked out a few articles and browsed them, and found that people really didn't understand the true identity and purpose of the obelisk, but the various uses derived from side effects were simply jaw-dropping.
This thing was first recorded in the 18th century when a European farmer dug it out of his field. This unlucky farmer was also the first victim.
This thing was later taken away by the local security department. Because it had repeatedly caused petrified death or madness, the police were not afraid of it, so they handed it over to the church for sealing.
As a result, because it was described as a "death stone", it was stolen from the church by cultists and used as a "sacred vessel" to worship and use. It was difficult to destroy and had the property of dying if touched, which made it famous until World War II. Captured by Hydra.
Most of the documents found on the Internet describe the horror of this thing and forcefully lead it in the direction of various religious theology. In order to ignore these godly remarks, Laura was forced to temporarily Wrote a screening algorithm.
In the end, only two valid documents were selected, one of which was a letter of authorization, which was published on an explorer's notice in Europe at that time.
The content is simple: find the obelisk and bring it to the association. After confirmation by the publisher, you can exchange it for the ownership of a small market in Marseille. This was a very generous condition at the time.
But what really interested Laura in this document was that many money-obsessed people first found a lot of fake obelisks to try their luck, and after the publisher showed up to personally identify them all as fakes, they all jumped on the idea. They wanted to buy and sell by force. As a result, the publisher disappeared instantly in the chaos, leaving only a chaotic scene and the dazed robbers.
The second document is a letter from a member of a Christian order in 1888, which explains that a mixed team came to the church where he worked and tried to buy the obelisk for a large price. According to his description:
"These people were men, women and children, but except for the leading white man, they all used clothes to hide their appearance, which was quite suspicious. And when the wind blew, I seemed to see that one of them had scales on his arms."
The believers were firstly afraid, and secondly, the obelisk had already been lost, so the strange team left in frustration after learning the truth.
To sum up, Laura suspected that the person who issued the mission and this strange team were probably the Inhumans who stayed on the earth during the evacuation, so she planned to follow up on these two clues.
To this end, Laura put on her stealth armor and prepared to go to Europe to inspect the church where the obelisk was first sealed, and by the way, look for traces of the Inhumans on the earth.
"Laura, my link with the Croft Group's biological experimental base was suddenly interrupted. I failed to get a response after several attempts to call, and the security system was offline twenty seconds ago. The possibility of the base being invaded cannot be ruled out. "
Rachel's sudden warning caused her to turn around in mid-air, turn around and fly towards the base. At the same time, she tried to call Maya Hansen, but the result kept showing that she could not get through, and Rachel brought another bad news:
"The signal tower near the base was destroyed, and the data sent back by the security system before it was completely paralyzed showed that there were six energy surges in the surrounding area at the same time."
