"Stealing from the inside is better."
Xia Zhiye rubbed his temples: "I'm afraid that the things will be in the hands of the thieves from the beginning."
Natasha sighed when she heard this: "Neither I nor Steve has the authority to directly control Loki's staff."
"This is normal."
Xia Zhiye smiled and said, "To put it bluntly, you are all weapons. If I join SHIELD, there is no difference between me and you, I am also a weapon. They have no reason and no way to hand over such things to you."
Natasha nodded. "We haven't let down our guard regarding the SHIELD issue, but there has been no further progress. We found some clues before, but after the Battle of New York, all traces were erased. The person we were looking at had a car accident."
"Car accident..."
"There are problems, but no matter how we investigate, the conclusion we reach is that it was just a true accident."
Natasha took a deep breath. "So, there is only one possibility. In addition to SHIELD, the other party also controls a huge force that we don't know about. They even have more than one calculation team and calculated an ordinary car accident..."
"It is also possible that after knowing that he was exposed, he took the initiative to put himself under the wheels."
"Steve also holds the same view. He said that if it is Hydra, there is no shortage of such assassins." Natasha glanced at Xia Zhiye: "But no matter what, our clues have been completely cut off."
"not necessarily."
Xia Zhiye thought about it for a moment, but frowned again: "I need someone's information!"
"who?"
"Alexander Pierce."
Xia Zhiye said the name.
Natasha's expression changed: "Seriously?"
"very serious!"
Xia Zhiye said: "Since it is meaningless to investigate from the end, I will do it myself."
"… good!"
Natasha agreed without asking any questions or even hesitating.
"Do you really trust me so much?" Xia Zhiye looked at Natasha in surprise. "To be honest, I still can't understand why you trust me so completely."
The halo of the protagonist? Or the halo of the one favored by fate
"Because someone has trusted you all his life, I have inherited this trust."
Natasha looked at Xia Zhiye and said, "I can be completely devoted to you, but if one day I really find out that what you do is different from what you say, I will betray you. But so far, you have not let me down... Especially your actions in the Battle of New York, which has further strengthened my belief."
When she said this, her eyes became red, and she suddenly threw herself into Xia Zhiye's arms and said softly, "It's great that you can come back."
Xia Zhiye was a little confused for a moment, and finally patted her head gently and said, "Okay, okay, I've already said that I'm a serious man, how can you just jump on me and hug me? The key is that I have a good figure... I'm a man."
Pushing Natasha away, Xia Zhiye said seriously: "Don't start from the inside. The person who caught your eye before is dead, which means your actions may have been discovered. In this case, if you mobilize internal information, it is very likely to be discovered. Be cautious and careful... It can take a little more time, we can wait. The worst result..."
"The worst possible outcome?"
Natasha looked at Xia Zhiye: "We can't wait for the worst result."
"Yes, the worst outcome is that we notice it before they take action. But at that time, if any conflict breaks out, it is possible that everything will be exposed to the world. It is unknown whether S.H.I.E.L.D. can continue to exist. For us, a Fury who loses S.H.I.E.L.D. and a Fury who controls S.H.I.E.L.D. are two completely different concepts."
"I see."
Natasha nodded: "The network you have set up has not actually been truly supported so far. Only after taking control of SHIELD can the defense of the entire Earth be launched."
“… Women who are too smart are not popular.”
"If I were a little stupid, would you like me?" Natasha suddenly asked.
Xia Zhiye was stunned, thinking that Natasha was making fun of him again, but after a quick glance, he found that Natasha's eyes were full of seriousness.
For a moment, he felt a little hairy and shuddered for no apparent reason, and said, "Well, if you are too stupid, you might die."
“That seems to be true.”
Natasha thought for a moment, then sighed softly and said, "I'll be careful. Can you go meet Steve?"
"Just tell him when the opportunity arises. There are too many eyes around him."
Xia Zhiye said: "Frequent contact is likely to be noticed by someone with ulterior motives."
"Um."
Natasha took two steps back, looked at Xia Zhiye again, and suddenly smiled: "Indeed, you are a little fat."
"… ah?"
Summer night blinks.
"I'm leaving now," Natasha said, "but after this, if possible, we'd better find a more secret way to contact each other."
"I will."
Xia Zhiye nodded in agreement.
…
…
After returning to the room, Xia Zhiye felt his back was wet.
I was a little confused for a moment. Was Natasha serious or joking
"That look..."
Xia Zhiye scratched his head, and words like the three major illusions of life once again filled his mind.
Considering the other party's identity as an agent, as well as the teasing on the sky carrier, Xia Zhiye finally came to a conclusion that he didn't quite believe: "The acting is too good."
After saying that, he threw himself on the bed.
The soft bed supported his back. He looked at the ceiling in a daze. "Suddenly, I feel that I am getting closer to this world. Yes, it is easiest for people to have ties with each other. If it weren't for the sudden loss of 70 years, I might not have any sense of belonging to this world. And now, Steve is here, as well as Natasha, Tony, Banner, even Thor and Odin, Queen Frigga, Star-Lord who is far away in the sea of stars, and Li Xiaomi. More and more people, more and more ties... That's good."
He turned over and sat up in bed.
Xia Zhiye took out a pen and paper from the bedside and began to organize the current information.
Needless to say, Tony's research plan and the two pieces of information obtained from Natasha are extremely important.
A question concerning one's own combat effectiveness.
The other one... is related to some major events that may happen in the future. (To be continued)
