The room fell silent for a moment.
Neither Xia Zhiye nor Natasha spoke. Only the sounds of the staff and the equipment were heard continuously.
This silence made the two young people feel awkward. Wanda coughed subconsciously. When Xia Zhiye and Natasha looked at her, Wanda smiled with a far-fetched smile and said, "That... um... nothing."
The look of having something to say but still holding it back is vividly displayed.
Xia Zhiye shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it. There is nothing that cannot be said here. It doesn't matter even if you say something wrong."
"Very humane..." Wanda smiled: "I just think that it is a bit too hasty to suddenly draw such a conclusion based on such a little bit of abruptness and information?"
Seeing that Xia Zhiye and Natasha were still looking at her, Wanda had to say, "I don't know who Fury is, and I don't know what you all mean. But maybe, this could just be an accident? Even if that person knew the importance of this plan, what about the others? It's not impossible that something else happened during the handover process, right?"
Natasha smiled and said, "It's very interesting and makes sense. It's not impossible. But unfortunately, you don't know Fury. You don't know how foolproof he is."
"A very scary person?" Wanda asked.
"It's terrible." Natasha nodded, then looked at Xia Zhiye: "You are right, but I don't recommend you to go directly to him. After all, no one knows what happened to him? Besides, there is no information sent back from Steve."
“It’s just as scary.”
Xia Zhiye touched his chin and said, "S.H.I.E.L.D., what happened?"
"What are you doubting now?" Natasha's face turned serious.
Xia Zhiye shook his head: "We will have to wait until we meet Fury to get the answer to all this."
"Do you need me to arrange anything?" Natasha asked.
Xia Zhiye thought for a moment and said, "There's only one thing I need to know. Where does this guy sleep every night?"
…
…
The streets were quiet, with the occasional sound of motorcycles being the loudest noise.
The suddenness of the car engine shutting down is particularly clear here.
After opening the car door and rubbing his face, Fury withdrew his gaze from the entire alley, locked the car door, and came to an apartment building next to it.
Third floor, three hundred and three!
Before pushing open the door, he took a look first. Some tricks are always inevitable, because you can never be sure whether the place that should be the safest has become the most dangerous trap.
After passing some rather extra-standard tests, Fury opened the door.
The living room remained the same, without any unnecessary changes.
After locking the door, Fury let out a long sigh.
"I would have thought that, at this point, you would be safe and relaxed enough."
A voice suddenly came from the living room. Fury's pupils contracted instantly and his whole body tensed up immediately. All the muscles in his body were restrained by the black windbreaker. It felt very uncomfortable!
But the next second, he completely relaxed.
Because he knew who the voice belonged to!
In front of this man, let alone tensing muscles, even if you are fully armed, it is meaningless... If he has malicious intentions!
When I turned around, I saw, as expected, that there was already someone sitting on the sofa in my house.
The man was holding a glass of wine that he had gotten from somewhere, because none of the 32 bottles of wine on the wine cabinet had been touched.
"Where did it come from?" Fury glanced at the wine glass.
"I'm from a good place." Xia Zhiye said with a smile, "Come on."
"I never drink at work." Fury threw the keys on the shoe cabinet, changed into slippers, and came to Xia Zhiye: "Besides, Tony's wine is obviously not that good. Don't think you can get everything if you have money. There are some enjoyments that cannot be brought by any amount of money."
As he spoke, he glanced at the wine cabinet: "You can probably take a look at the third bottle in the second row at the bottom of my wine cabinet. That's definitely a good thing."
"It's a waste to keep good wine in the home of someone who doesn't drink." Xia Zhiye tilted his head and looked at him: "And, if I remember correctly, you are off work now."
"The moment I saw you, I was no longer off duty."
Fury fixed his gaze on Xia Zhiye: "Why do I see your face in my own home?"
"This probably stems from the doubts you brought to me." Xia Zhiye said with a smile: "If you are the reason, can you give me a reasonable explanation now?"
"About the Pegasus Project?"
The fact that Fury could say this clearly proved that the appearance of the document in Camp Lehigh was not a surprise.
Xia Zhiye leaned his back against the sofa: "Now it seems that you really have a problem."
"The problem isn't with me... it's with this world." Fury closed his eyes because he didn't want Xia Zhiye to see any fatigue in his eyes. "You probably can't imagine what it would be like when you do something thoroughly and wholeheartedly, and fight against someone, and you find that the people around you who help you process all the information and do all the work are all the people you need to fight against with all your might. "
"So, it's not that there's something wrong with the world, but that the seeds that day were not cleaned up thoroughly?"
"The loss of Loki's staff is enough to explain the problem." Fury said: "SHIELD is completely rotten. From the root... I don't even know why I am still the director of SHIELD now, is it because they need me to sit in this position and continue to work for them, or because I am not a threat to them."
"A depressed boiled egg." Xia Zhiye shrugged.
"… What eggs?"
"A delicacy." Xia Zhiye stood up: "I roughly understand what kind of situation is in front of you."
Fury looked at Xia Zhiye's back and said, "This is my own problem."
"I don't intend to help you solve any problems." Xia Zhiye looked back at Fury and said, "I want to know what you will do next."
"Then please wait and see!"
After Fury finished speaking, he suddenly smiled again: "Aren't you curious about the source of the texts in the Pegasus Project?"
"The Kree language..." Xia Zhiye's words surprised Fury, who had originally intended to surprise him.
He sat up suddenly: "Have you seen them?"
