[Captain Captain] Parallel World

S.H.I.E.L.D. does not have much information about this Mandarin. His name comes from an official position in ancient China. He is familiar with the strategic methods of the South American rebellion. He speaks like a preacher. He is always full of pomp and support.

Natalie watched over and over again those few videos where the Mandarin took over all the TV shows, and it seemed to be just a provocation, a declaration, high-profile, eye-catching, and he was trying to use that way to attract attention. The panic of the people incites those who are not strong-willed.

"'Mandarin', does it mean the emperor's staff..." Anyway, after staying in China for a while, Natalie became more concerned about this name. Why is it a staff officer and not directly the emperor himself?

Maybe it didn't matter, and Natalie just passed it in her head for a while.

"...his speech is very deliberate, his movements are slightly exaggerated, and many details have traces of over-dramatization." After all, he was born as an art student, Steve hesitated for a moment, but still said his guess, "I doubt that he Just a puppet."

"Set up a target, and the real man behind the scenes is controlling the whole situation in the dark?" Regarding Steve's guess, Natalie did not dare to deny it completely. The attack draws attention away, but if you really look closely, you can see that it is full of loopholes.

However, this mandarin who has been exposed on the surface is already a mysterious person whose location has not been found so far. It is uncertain whether the real mastermind behind the scenes exists or not. This strategy may not be considered powerful, but it is true. very effective.

What made Natalie even more concerned was that the logo they used at the beginning was the 'Ten Rings Gang'.

If you have no impression of this logo, just remind you that it was the mysterious organization that kidnapped Tony at the beginning and caused him to change his temperament and finally made him Iron Man. Maybe you should also thank them for letting Tony reborn for a while, and then Tony I also used my own way to 'repay' their 'kindness'.

But this kind of evil organization is always "wild fire is endless, and spring wind blows again". The person who made a knockoff version of the reactor that Natalie met when she was on a business trip in Russia was the Ten Rings gang when she escaped from S.H.I.E.L.D. The guns he got were so delicate that even the best verifiers were fooled by them, allowing him to escape smoothly.

The first time was raped, the second time was an accomplice to murder, and the third time she simply did it herself, Natalie almost felt that this organization could be called true love for Tony, so persistent It would take a lot of hatred to kill him.

After watching the video all night, Natalie said that she was going to throw up when she saw the Mandarin's face, and her heavy eyelids were fighting every minute. Steve stopped her from pouring coffee.

"Go to sleep, leave the rest to me, and I'll wake you up if Lucas sends any news." She couldn't help but say more, Steve's movements were a little tougher, but his tone was gentle It's like coaxing a child.

After hesitating for a while, Natalie looked up at Steve, who also had a little stubble from not sleeping all night, and finally decided not to refuse his offer.

"Just sleep for a while, you have to remember to wake me up." Putting his arms around Steve's neck, he lowered his head slightly under pressure, and leaned forward to kiss him. It feels good to be slightly pricked by beard stubble." Goodnight kiss."

Steve even suspected that Natalie had already drunk too much coffee and was too sleepy to know what she was doing, but since Natalie took the initiative, he would not miss this opportunity.

In fact, Natalie only planned to touch it a little bit, but Steve quickly took the initiative. Although he can't be called proficient, Steve is also learning slowly.

Because of the height difference, he had to bend down a little to keep Natalie from standing on her tiptoes. After all, they were wearing fluffy slippers indoors, and they put their hands on her waist with a little force. She got closer to herself, and Natalie, who was originally due to lack of sleep, felt a little out of breath because of his oppression and strength.

As a result, as a proficient, she was actually fainted by a novice kiss. Although she claimed afterwards that she just fell asleep because she was too sleepy, her uncontrollable blush completely exposed the real situation.

Because her memory stayed on the moment when Steve's sexy stubble slightly rubbed her cheek from passive to active.

On the downside of being too petite and having a boyfriend on steroids.

It's a pity that she didn't have time to sleep for long.

Bad news always comes one after another. Before Natalie wakes up, Steve who receives the notification can only be forced to wake her up, and Pepper is also missing.

"Didn't she just go home? Didn't her house already have S.H.I.E.L.D. agents stationed? Could it be that she was kidnapped directly on the main road?! Can this not be traced?" Natalie didn't even have time to tangle How on earth did she fall asleep, only had time to go to the bathroom to wash her face, and then hurried to the legendary Pepper's last haunt without even changing her clothes.

Seeing that Pepper didn't go home directly, but went to a hotel-like place, Natalie didn't understand. Pepper should know that her home's safety factor will definitely be higher than this kind of hotel, so why did she choose to come? here.

There was no check-in record, no credit card purchases, and if the camera hadn't caught Pepper passing this corridor, they wouldn't even be able to find out where she went.

"What is the estimated time of disappearance?" Natalie, who was a little disturbed, turned her head to the on-site recorder and asked.

"About 19 hours ago." The recorder replied.

Compared with disappearance, Pepper's disappearance is more like being kidnapped. There are a few signs of struggle at the scene. Natalie once taught Pepper a few tricks to try to leave clues about the murderer if he is kidnapped. A few scratches from the rings were found on the walls of this room.

It seems that Pepper knows the person who kidnapped her, and what she left behind seems to be the name of that person, AK, both letters are capitalized, which should refer to the initials of the murderer's name. More clearly, this means that the murderer's attention was not on Pepper at the time, so there were at least two people in the room at the beginning, and the murderer came in later.

The other person in the room should also know and be familiar with the murderer. At least successfully diverted its attention and gave Pepper a chance to leave these clues, but there was no fight at the scene, indicating that the other person was weak As for the murderer, it depends largely on the relationship between obedience and leadership.

The way of intrusion was very simple and rude. All the cameras were controlled and no one was photographed. The head of the food delivery man was twisted cleanly, as if done by a veteran. The other person was supposed to be sitting on the bed talking, and then the food delivery man knocked on the door, Pepper went to open the door, and then the murderer invaded and pushed against the wall.

The camera lens also did not capture the existence of the other person, indicating that it also deliberately avoided the camera, and perhaps it was premeditated to attract Pepper here.

According to the sitting marks on the bed, although the relationship between Pepper and that person is not close, it is still friendly. The distance is not too far or close. They should be of the same sex. There are clenched folds on the pillow. Having already gained a good impression, her heart began to shake.

The murderer had absolute confidence in his own strength, so he didn't notice Pepper's small movements. There were traces of being rubbed by canvas shoes somewhere on the floor. The other person and the murderer should also be in some kind of cooperative relationship. She, so while she was weak, she also worked hard to win her own interests, and in the process of bargaining, there was unconscious friction on her left foot. It should be because of her inner turmoil that she hugged Pepper for her life.

These are some clues that Natalie found based on the scene. They are not many, but they are definitely enough. When mentioning women, she immediately thought of the person who gave her a familiar name at the door of Tony's house.

"Steve, have you noticed where that Miss Maya Hansen has gone?" Recalling the name again, Natalie felt more and more like she had seen it somewhere.

It's on a document...

"Miss Potts said to take her home by the way." Steve probably knew who the main suspect was, and summoned the people who searched for evidence. Steve found a brown hair on the pillow, which was obviously It couldn't be Pepper's.

Maybe they don't need to wait for the test results at all, and they already have the general shape of this matter in their minds, but what Steve can't figure out is what kind of role that Miss Hansen is playing.

Natalie, who was thinking hard, suddenly found that the light had dimmed, and found that Steve had already stood in front of her, even blocking her light, and then remembered that she seemed to be wearing slippers.

Natalie, who was reminded of the height difference again, was a little dissatisfied, obviously Steve was still a small man at first.

At the beginning!

Natalie finally remembered where she had seen the name Maya Hansen.

"She is not a simple botanist, she is an expert in biological gene coding. The Extremis virus she studies is said to be the closest thing to Dr. Erskine's serum. Although it has been put into the human experiment stage, it still has some flaws. "Steve sensitively found that Natalie's voice sounded a little strange now.

"Most importantly, she should be someone affiliated with AIM."

She saw this information in the base of the centipede organization, and it did not come from S.H.I.E.L.D. Although she didn't know how they got it, Natalie clearly remembered when she looked at the document what Abel said at the time.

Extremis virus is not the same as serum, its main purpose is self-healing, but the intense human body strengthening effect it brings is actually a side effect, a failure, but as long as the genetic structure code is slightly adjusted, it can really make a difference.

But Abel only wanted to study the serum, and after he realized that the Extremis virus would not help his research, he left it behind, and when Natalie picked up the information, he just mentioned it one time.

I didn't expect it to come in handy at this time.

AIM first gained widespread public attention when it created and marketed new technology products as an international cartel (an important form of economic division of the world by monopolies of imperialist states).More precisely, the group supplies hardware and weapons to government and quasi-government agencies.

If they are really involved in this conspiracy about the Mandarin, then things will become very troublesome, if they are the mysterious mastermind...

Natalie licked her lower lip excitedly, her eyes were definitely blazing with crazy interest in this matter. Is there anything more exciting than tearing apart a seemingly sanctimonious organization?
