Chen Ang left at some point, and only Nick stayed in the small town. He sent an encrypted message. Soon after, a SHIELD Quinjet came here and hovered over Nick's head. Nick glanced at the Quinjet, which looked like a huge weird bat in his eyes.
His dark face twitched, and he grabbed the rope that the Quinjet had put down and climbed up.
Just as he was about to reach the hatch, a hand reached out and pulled him back.
Nick got on the plane and looked at the person who pulled him up. It was a former agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. — Clinton Francis Barton, also known as the Avenger codenamed Hawkeye.
Nick resisted the weird image of Hawkeye in his eyes. It was still difficult for him to distinguish other people from their appearance.
How many people would believe that the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D. suffered from face blindness?
"Barton, May!" Nick greeted Hawkeye and May, who was piloting the plane. Barton asked, "Why did he call you here?"
Nick sat down and looked at Hawkeye. "You don't believe him?"
Hawkeye's face was gloomy. He pulled his bow and said, "Since the moment my family was killed, I don't trust anyone. The Skrulls won't come to me for no reason. Someone must have betrayed me! I don't even believe you. When I saw them die in front of my eyes, I was no longer the superhero I used to be. Hawkeye, who survived, is an avenger, a madman! "
"To tell you the truth, I haven't even given up my doubts about you!"
Nick said, "Why? Just because I came out and saved you when you were about to be killed by the Skrulls? "
Hawkeye did not hesitate. "It makes me wonder … Can you also save my family?"
Nick sighed and said, "I admit that I have been paying attention to the Skrulls. Over the years, I have mastered some information about the Skrulls' spies, but they have not been used, and I can't act rashly. Otherwise, I will lose the only clue I can investigate. I didn't think … that they would … "
"When I discovered their movements, I only had time to save you!" Nick looked into Hawkeye's eyes and said, "I wouldn't do such a thing. Not ever! "
"I just understand the Skrulls. If there's anyone on Earth who deserves to understand them, it's me … Do you see this blind eye of mine? It was all thanks to them … That was the last time I trusted someone. "
"You suspect him …" Nick asked, "Why?"
Hawkeye said: "Someone betrayed me, this is my intuition. He is also untrustworthy. He is a member of the Human Revolutionary Alliance. He came to the West to form the Holy Shield. He gathered us together and knows us like the back of his hand. But what do we know about him? … knew nothing. I hate people who know nothing about them. "
"The unknown will make me feel danger!"
"So after you saved me, we tacitly concealed the fact that I was in S.H.I.E.L.D. because I no longer trust Holy Shield, and you? Maybe it's because you don't believe in the Sacred Shield! "
Nick was silent for a while and changed the topic: "This topic is not suitable for me to talk too much about! May! Submit a plan of distrust against me and isolate some confidential information from me. Lower my authority to the level of a level ten agent … Say that I proposed it myself. " Nick took the encrypted laptop and verified fingerprints and irises, but there was a logical problem with the verification – palm prints and irises were sometimes unreliable. Although the password and password were traditional, it was more confidential.
In order to prevent mind control, verification needed to be very logical.
Nick failed twice, which aroused the vigilance of Hawkeye and May. Nick saw that they were on high alert and laughed: "If I didn't have a damn problem … Would I make such an application? Have a little faith in me, okay? "
The two reacted – if Nick was controlled. He really didn't have to remove his authority first.
But Nick's next words made the two vigilant again: "If one day I lose control! Don't hesitate … Kill me! "Nick said.
"What did you talk about?" May asked nervously.
"We talked about something that you absolutely can't know and don't have the authority to know. Only I … and maybe Frank in the future … know about it. If I lose control! Go find Frank and cooperate with his action, "Nick replied.
May, who knew the confidentiality rules of agents, immediately shut up.
Nick leaned tiredly on the back of the seat of the plane. He pressed his temples and slightly relaxed his rationality against the chaos. He had to concentrate on fighting against the messy murmurs in his mind. Even with the equipment provided by Chen Ang, the opening of the Soul Gate was still very dangerous.
He had to fight against madness and chaos at all times.
The Punisher was hiding in his safe house. He had been tracking down the missing Daredevil Matthew for almost three years. While constantly fighting crime, he also had to investigate his missing partners. Frank was really busy.
But today, he had an uninvited guest.
Nick put down his hat and sat opposite Frank — "Haha! Frank, my old friend. You didn't expect me to visit you today, did you? "
Frank was not polite to him. "You're definitely not looking for me for anything good! Do you want coffee or tea? "
"Don't lie to me! You only have plain water here … "Nick leaned back in his chair and took the plain water that Frank handed over." Frank, in the next few days, I might have some accidents. If I lose control … I mean if, this person will contact you … Is he reliable? Of course not! "
"There is no one more unreliable than him in this world! You don't have to trust him. Just keep talking to him. You can be suspicious, you can be vigilant, but you have to keep talking. If he contacts you, no matter what he says, you have to listen and then act according to your style. "
Frank said in a low voice, "It's hard to see such a weak side of you, Nick!"
Nick sighed. "That's because you don't know what we're facing right now. Weak? I used to deny that I had these emotions, because once you admit it … you'll really become old! But now … I don't care about this anymore. So be it if I'm weak! Believe me, weakness is the most insignificant mental problem I'm facing right now! "
"When did you become as weak as Tonny Stark?" Frank said, "This isn't like you! Nick. "
"Anthony Edward Tonny Stark!" Nick repeated the name.
"He's no longer trustworthy!" Nick said coldly, "I didn't know how serious his mental infection was before, but now I know. Tonny can't hold on … He's gone crazy now! Hawkeye suspects that someone betrayed him … I suspect it too, but I have a suspect! "
Frank said solemnly, "Stark!"
Nick's face fell. "Yes, unbelievable. Howard founded S.H.I.E.L.D., and I actually suspect his son. "
"That person and I are going to do something big!" Nick said.
"Who?" Frank's words were concise.
"I mentioned it before, the person who might be in contact with you!" Nick said, "I can only stay for so long! There's still a lot of things to do … it's so troublesome! "Nick stood up and put on his hat. Frank sent him out, and before leaving, he said, "If you can't handle it, call your friend Frank!"
"I don't know what you're going to do, Nick. But I'm familiar with this person's information … he's related to Matthew. "
"I know …" Nick said, "He's investigated!"
Frank revealed a very stiff smile. "I mean … recently, he's getting close to Matthew! We're both tracking Matthew, but he's closer than I am! "
Nick was lost in thought for a while, and turned back. "Thank you for your information, Frank. This is very important to me!"
"Goodbye, Nick!"
