Seven minutes later, the scene in the secret room reappeared in front of S.H.I.E.L.D.
This time, it wasn't Luke's camera, but the S.H.I.E.L.D. rescue team's battlefield recorder.
Without much hesitation, two members of the rescue team rushed into the dilapidated cabin.
They quickly reported that it was safe, and four more people entered the cabin, leaving the other four to block the front and back of the cabin.
The six rescue team members scanned every part of the cabin with their battlefield recorders to confirm that it was safe again.
There were no suspects, no explosives, and no moving objects. There were only two bodies and one living person on three chairs.
That was right, Garrett and Ward, the male guests, were indeed dead.
Of course, strictly speaking, Ward had just died, and his body was still warm.
The only female guest, Hill, was still alive.
However, she had been injected with anesthetics and was in a coma.
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s heavy mood improved slightly when they heard the news.
Nick Fury secretly heaved a sigh of relief. There really weren't many high-ranking agents that he could place his hopes on.
Although Hill was only a level five agent, slightly lower than Phil, it was "very likely" that she wasn't involved with Hydra.
It wasn't that all the agents were problematic, but that Nick Fury couldn't find out if there was anything wrong with most of them, so he could only exclude them from his plan.
The S.H.I.E.L.D. rescue team was very familiar with what happened next.
They quietly collected the bodies of their two colleagues, then put their black body bags into the helicopter that arrived later. Two people were sent to escort the bodies and the unconscious Hill back to the Third Curved Wing headquarters, while the rest continued to track down Jeff's whereabouts.
After all, they were only a few minutes late. Jeff couldn't have run too far.
In the dark night sky, the beacon lights of the helicopter flickered as it left the wilderness and headed south.
The captain of the rescue team encouraged everyone, "Keep your eyes peeled. Don't let go of any clues. We have to find that son of a b * tch clown."
…
Twenty minutes later, on the S.H.I.E.L.D. helicopter, a black body bag quietly disappeared, and Ward, whose face was pale, slowly sat up.
The bullet hole in his chest disappeared in an instant, and at the same time, his face recovered from the deathly pale color of a dead person to the rosy color of a normal person.
He turned his head and looked at the other black body bag next to him, which instantly disappeared from the helicopter.
Then Ward looked at Hill on the other side and laughed silently.
He reached out his hand and dipped it into the blood on Hill's chest. He carefully selected a spot on Hill's body and left a small, incomplete, bloody fingerprint.
He made it look like he had accidentally brushed against it.
Then, like a ghost, he moved forward without making any sound and approached the two rescue team agents sitting in front of him from behind.
He spread his hands apart and shot two paralysis needles into the necks of the agents.
The eyes of the two agents quickly lost focus as they leaned back in their seats.
Ward crawled down, jumped out of the floor vacated by the two agents, and jumped into the air.
The helicopter that was urgently transferred was an improved version of the old Huey. For the convenience of transportation, the rear cabin was designed to be open on both sides.
Under the loud noise of the wind, the driver in front was completely unaware of what was happening behind him.
Even if there were people watching the battlefield monitors on SHIELD's side at any time, the images of the two agents remained static.
Unbeknownst to anyone, of the two corpses and one person escorted by the helicopter, Hill was the only one left lying quietly in her fixed seat in the back, sleeping soundly.
Half an hour later, Nick Fury arrived in front of the helicopter with a dark expression.
It wasn't that the director had suddenly obtained superpowers and could fly, but that the helicopter was now parked on the roof of the Tri-Curved Wing Building.
The director didn't pay attention to the driver and the two rescue team agents who were standing to the side with bitter expressions.
He went directly to the rear cabin door of the Huey. He didn't enter, but leaned over and looked for a while.
Then, he straightened up and walked to the three "responsible persons." "Who can tell me what's going on?"
Agent A decisively described what had happened. "I'm sorry, sir, we don't know."
Nick Fury's head seemed to be glowing fiercely as he stared at the warrior with his single eye. "You don't know? Two huge corpses, just like that … gone, and you don't know? "
Agent B also spoke up. "Sir, I feel like something's wrong. I felt like I dozed off on the way. I didn't wake up until we were almost at the headquarters. "
Nick Fury said, "Continue."
Agent B said, "Based on our training habits, even if we really need to doze off, we won't completely lose track of the outside world. But when I dozed off just now, it felt like I was missing a period of time. "
Nick Fury raised his hand and waved behind him. Immediately, an agent stepped forward. "Take them to do a routine check. Drug tests are the priority. Get me an expert to check this helicopter thoroughly. I want to know who did this. "
…
Far away in New York, the level-2 clone sat in a restaurant in Williamsburg and ate a red velvet cake with a smile.
Who did it? Of course it was Luke.
The level-1 clone used a super disguise, then shot himself, before he used his hibernation ability. A freshly dead "Ward's body" appeared.
If he hadn't happened to run into Huey's old helicopter, which had an open rear cabin, he had actually planned to make Garrett and Ward disappear from S.H.I.E.L.D.'s morgue.
As the saying went, the dead told no tales.
Garrett and Ward were dead, but they had died in the video footage. Those who should suspect that they weren't dead would still suspect them.
If they had been checked by the rescue team, it was more likely that they were really dead.
But Luke's goal wasn't to confirm whether Garrett and Ward were dead or alive, but to turn the two Hydra members into "Schrodinger's Cat."
He had appeared in person and deliberately created this special situation where they were half-dead and half-alive.
On one hand, Nick Fury and Hydra weren't sure if Garrett and Ward were dead or alive, so they would be more careful.
Being careful meant wasting time, which would give Luke more time to fish in troubled waters and gain more experience and credit points from Hydra.
Even if he didn't achieve his goal of stalling for time, it wasn't a big deal. In any case, he was just putting on a show, and it would take less than an hour.
Small investment, high return. Why not?
On the other hand, Garrett was dead, but Clairvoyant was alive.
Clairvoyant had done a good job of keeping secrets, so Garrett's death had nothing to do with Clairvoyant.
Even if some people knew that the two were connected, they would fall into the "Schrodinger's" trap that Luke had set up and wouldn't be sure.
Now, Clairvoyant was naturally in Luke's pocket.
