Chapter 13 7 Years of Sleep
As a seventh-level agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., Hawkeye is good at armed activities. He is an expert in killing people, but he is lacking in intelligence gathering.
In his previous interactions with Luke and others, because of Lu Xixian's presence, he had always regarded himself as a transparent person. Even when he witnessed Penglai in the illusion, he remained unusually silent.
After that, Lu Xixian left, and because Tony, a talkative man, was there, he didn't ask for any important information.
But even so, just the information about Dan Chenzi, the Beast Soul Hunters under Kingpin, and other miscellaneous information were enough to give Nick Fury a headache.
"Penglai! Penglai?"
"Mysterious and strange magic, a mysterious space not on the earth"
"It seems that I need a professional to help me sort it out."
As the only level 10 agent in S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury is known as the King of Agents. It is his nature to doubt and guess people's hearts.
He didn't doubt Hawkeye's loyalty, he just doubted the man named Lu Xixian.
At the same time, after learning the truth about the missing persons, he began to investigate Kingpin and corresponded with the intelligence of Hawkeye.
"Agent Hill, contact Natasha secretly"
"I have a task for her"
"By the way, where's Coulson?"
Maria Hill walked in from outside. As Nick Fury's deputy, while maintaining relative neutrality, she was also the deputy director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Second only to Nick Fury in terms of authority.
"Natasha is on vacation and can be recalled at any time"
"As for Colson, he's at the North Pole."
"You should understand that that person is his idol."
A document with a red label was placed in front of Nick by Hill, which contained a person's identification.
His name is Steve Rogers.
The famous Captain America.
The far reaches of the Arctic Circle.
This is an extremely cold place, a cold place with profound history.
It is a forbidden area isolated from human habitation.
Except for inspection teams from various countries, there are basically no people here.
But at this time, an oil drilling rig was working, and beside it were various people working.
"It's about this location, there may be deviations"
"But the error will not be greater than 0.5%"
Coulson took off his mask, rubbed the wind and snow off his goggles, then came to the tent and started looking at the map.
At the same time, listen to the exploration information in the headset.
“What if we deploy one more drilling well?”
Coulson asked, putting down the map.
"I don't recommend doing this, it will affect the accuracy of the geological machine."
"You also know that when the fighter plane crashed, no one could pinpoint the reliable location."
"Now I can be sure that this place is blessed by the goddess of luck."
Of course Coulson understood this, so after letting the other party continue working, he began to wait slowly.
Finally, as an exclamation came from the headset, he hurriedly got up and walked out.
At the same time, SHIELD agents were also asked to take action. After secretly controlling the group of staff, they began to take them away in batches.
They are no longer needed for the next work.
These people will spend a pleasant holiday in a nearby gathering place and then be sent home in batches.
And get a hefty reward.
On the other side, a white polar bear was walking home with its dinner in its mouth. When passing by, it saw a group of humans watching on the ice.
It was disdainful in its heart. Tiny humans couldn't even break through the ice. This kind of concentration was impossible to live in the Arctic.
Just when it put down its dinner and was about to declare who was in control here, an explosion rang out, and the heat wave caused it to give up its dinner and run home in embarrassment.
"Captain! It's open!"
A shout made Coulson come to the broken ice, and then he cleaned the broken ice on the outer window of the fighter plane with his hands. Finally, he saw the man inside who he had only seen in the newspaper.
“Get moving, pay attention, be careful”
"This person has been frozen for seventy years."
"By the way, the medical team has prepared the instruments."
"The receiving team prepares the containment box!"
Orders were issued one after another, and Coulson was the first to enter the fighter plane and see his idol with his own eyes.
Just as this group of people began to clean up the broken ice in the fighter plane, on the other side, a SHIELD agent wearing a black combat uniform had already held up a piece of blue crystal.
It exudes a blur of brilliance and is square in size and sharply angular.
"The Tesseract, it's a pity that it can't be used."
The agent smiled exactly like Lu Xixian, and then put the Cosmic Cube into his suitcase.
[Pete gets closer and starts passing the ball! 】
[This is a young guy, strong and powerful! 】
[Fieler hit the ball and hit a home run, let us congratulate him! 】
[The score of this game is 8:4]
Next to the radio with clear sound, Steve slowly woke up, and at the same time, the scene before falling asleep was in his mind.
Sea water, coldness, despair, happiness, unwillingness, and the regret of not being able to keep the appointment.
Opening your eyes, you can hear the familiar ball game.
"You should have seen this game in May 1941. How does it feel to relive it again?"
Taking the apple handed to him blankly, Steve said doubtfully.
"I don't know you? Who are you?"
Nick peeled the orange in his hand and chewed the yellow flesh in his mouth. The sour taste that hit the top of his head made him put it down immediately and swallowed it with force.
He regretted buying this fruit basket.
But when you come to visit a patient, you always have to pick up something.
This is etiquette.
"Nick Fury"
"Strategic Homeland Attack Defense and Logistics Agency"
"Of course, you can also remember another name, S.H.I.E.L.D."
"Given that the previous name was too long, we are slowly changing it, which will take time."
Looking at the other party's still very confused expression, Nick felt that he had said everything in vain.
All he could say in the end was.
"SHIELD evolved from the Strategic Science Corps, and I am the second director."
"The last director was Peggy Carter."
Familiar names jolted Steve's memory, especially the last one.
"Paige!"
"Where is she! I want to see her!"
The apple in his hand was crushed, and Steve grabbed Nick's hand with a hint of pleading in his eyes.
Nick was not surprised by the scene in front of him. Whoever had been sleeping for seventy years would definitely not be calm the moment he woke up.
But he slowly comforted Steve and said.
"Yes, but it will take a while. I need to tell you the story after falling asleep."
Originally, Nick was planning to use the temporarily modified environment to temporarily appease the opponent, but now time is urgent. He urgently needs a qualified warrior and commander, and he does not have so much time to wait for the opponent to recover.
And he believed that this former flag-bearer would not be knocked down so easily.
After a long time, the sound of the radio stopped, and Steve came back to his senses from the scenery outside the window.
"So, the battlefield has stopped"
"Hydra was also destroyed"
"And I have been sleeping for seventy years!"
Steve's good fighting qualities meant that he didn't do much extreme behavior. He just had a complicated mood and simply fell asleep. When he woke up, the world had changed.
"Although the war has stopped, the fighting behind the scenes has not stopped yet."
"Although Hydra has been eliminated, a new crisis has emerged."
"Captain, I need your help"
Compared to the person in front of him, Nick did not use the usual speaking skills. He just spoke with the only sincerity.
But Steve was silent for a moment and shook his head.
"I am no longer needed in this era."
"Let me calm down for a while."
Back on the bed, Steve covered his eyes with his left hand.
Nick didn't say much when he saw this. He understood that the other party needed some time to think.
"I hope I won't have to wait too long, Captain."
"The world still needs you"
Turning around and leaving, the closed door made Steve look a little complicated.
Outside, Nick looked at Coulson who looked worried and sighed secretly.
"Give him some time to calm down. If he has any requirements during this period, try your best to satisfy him."
"Including a visit to Ms. Carter."
"Yes, Chief!"
Ten years of life and death are boundless, unthinkable and unforgettable.
Lu Xixian recited this poem and walked home.
His life is very simple. He goes out to eat, goes to performances, and goes home to meditate. His life of three o'clock and one line of work lasts for a long time.
But when I returned home today, the phantom bodies that had been scattered everywhere had returned.
Several of them are exchanging intelligence.
"Captain America? How many brains does he have?"
"My strength is not that good, but my luck is too strong."
"If we want to kill him, he will be struck by lightning for at least three days and three nights."
"What about borrowing it from others?"
"I can't kill him. This kind of son of luck is very troublesome. Those who have the strength dare not kill him. Those who don't have the strength can't kill him."
"We should be happy that there is a new leek."
"You're right"
A group of people with the same appearance and even the same habits and movements are chatting together, and it feels like they are talking to themselves.
But Lu Xixian didn't care, and instead listened carefully.
After everyone had finished talking to each other, they looked at the main body aside.
They need to "recharge".
"I have a group of souls in my hands now, and I need a few people to step on the stage."
"Who are you planning to come?"
The phantom body cannot stay outside for a long time, and at the same time, as a part of Lu Xixian, their strength is also restricted.
If the combat power of the main body is one hundred, then this group of phantom bodies only has five.
But with the help of the essence, it is different. It is equivalent to having a place to rely on, through which you can deepen your connection with the main body and use more power.
For example, Dan Chenzi, with physical help, could even replicate 30% of Lu Xixian's strength.
The phantom body at this time can already be called a clone.
"Let the unimportant ones take charge first. The main body's plan is the key."
"Then it's up to me. A mayor has nothing to monitor."
"Count me in"
"Snake Shield's lurking is very important, so I won't be involved."
"Original body, you can create a weaker body for me, which will help me lurk for a long time."
"Can"
One person has thousands of faces. With Lu Xixian's current level of cultivation, it would be difficult to summon a thousand phantoms, but a few dozen would still be enough.
These phantoms have their own jobs. They hide their identities, change their appearance, and even their gender. Their ultimate goal is to help Lu Xixian complete his goal.
"Illusion becomes one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three"
"Three lives and a thousand phenomena, invisible changes"
“My word is about to be completed.”
It suddenly started raining outside, and the rain poured down like a waterfall from the sky.
But above Lu Xixian's head, it was always sunny.
