A Little Thing in the Marvel Universe

Surveillance videos, advanced mathematics textbooks and leadership speeches firmly occupy the top three in the field of fighting insomnia, just like Mount Everest, K[-] and Kangchenjunga, firmly suppressing Diazepam, which ranks fourth, in Mariana The deepest part of the trench is where you will never be able to stand up again.

Moreover, she had copied two months of surveillance video. It was impossible for her to finish watching it in a short time. Even if she searched for key points, she would not be able to complete it in a short time.So she went to S.H.I.E.L.D. and secretly obtained a copy of face and gait recognition software, which was a huge burden on her personal computer, which was mainly used for entertainment functions such as watching TV shows and browsing Twitter.She had to put her computer by the window to rely on the low temperatures in winter to prevent it from overheating and shutting down automatically.

But whether or not evidence can be found is one thing, and whether Belle can confirm that Cynthia is lying is another matter.She looked worried when she spoke and hesitated to speak. She obviously knew about Belle's attack.

Not even the first lady knew about this.No matter Belle herself, or SHIELD, including the president with the highest authority, the external statement is that Belle suffered a car accident.

At the same time, as the chief of staff, Cynthia was the only contact between the first lady and Belle. Belle made an impromptu decision to return to Washington that day, but she received a call from her, saying that the first lady was anxious to see her.

Although Cynthia used her position as chief of staff as a cover, this reason did not make sense at all.Moreover, her worried and guilty look couldn't be disguised, so Belle wanted to trick her into asking her about her family, and then arranged for someone to investigate whether what she said was true.

Gu Qi's men were very efficient, and the news was quickly passed back.

As expected, Cynthia's children were not at her parents' home or in Washington. They did not find their whereabouts.

"He was kidnapped and used to threaten her. It's the same trick again."

She hung up, forced to consider another possibility.

If Hydra had successfully instigated Cynthia Specter, then they would treat her just like they did General Glenn McConville. They would install bugs in her home and send people to monitor her at all times, but they would not attack her directly. family.

Since her child was kidnapped, it means that Cynthia is in a state of duress. Once she disobeys the instructions, Hydra will kill her child immediately.But their purpose was not to kill her child, but to demand Cynthia's absolute obedience.To do this, they needed a reliable way to confirm that Cynthia was not playing tricks.

The real traitor is still hiding.

Who is qualified and capable of spying on the First Lady's chief of staff?

This person must be able to freely enter and leave the White House and ensure daily contact with Cynthia during working hours; have enough authority or connections to obtain enough information. After all, they cannot be monitored all the time. In many cases, other information is needed to judge whether Cynthia is obedient; it is impossible to live in For an important position, in that case, just order Cynthia directly; it should not be too eye-catching, as that would not be conducive to surveillance work, and would not be in line with Hydra's current purpose of dormant standby.

"Oh, damn it!" Belle hated the ring on her hand. "If it weren't for this crappy thing, there would be no need to go to such trouble!"

But she had no good reason to explain to Iron Man why she wanted to take off the ring.After all, she had no substantial evidence, and Iron Man would not risk the secrets of all Washington's top officials to catch a Hydra spy who was not sure existed.

"Tsk, why am I worrying so much about this matter?"

She waved her hand in annoyance, accidentally spilling a little bit of energy, causing the wall to collapse.

"This is interesting!"

She seemed to have discovered a new world, and she didn't have time to think that this house was rented.

……

While Belle was secretly investigating the First Lady's Chief of Staff, SHIELD was already in chaos.

The seven screens in front of Maria Hill displayed emergency news from seven countries.

The BBC is broadcasting the Prime Minister's speech at No. [-] Downing Street, stating that the series of sad events that occurred today at the British Museum, the Tower of London and the Greenwich Observatory were terrorist attacks that were shameless, cowardly and inhumane against civilians. Differential killing.The British counter-terrorism force and MI[-] are working together to trace the case and remind Londoners to avoid going out and pay attention to safety.

German television is broadcasting the bombing at the Brandenburg Gate on a loop.Survivors said that several middle-aged people of unknown nationality shouted "Long live Hydra" and then detonated their bombs.The exact number of casualties caused by the attack is still being calculated, but it is conservatively estimated that the number will not be less than [-].

Fourteen channels of the Turkish Broadcasting Corporation are broadcasting today's attacks on Hagia Sophia and Independence Street.Unlike London and Berlin, Hydra was more powerful and behaved more arrogantly in Istanbul. They not only detonated bombs, but also launched missiles and incendiary bombs from helicopters, causing a large number of civilian casualties.Turkey has entered the highest level of alert, and all border crossings have been closed to prevent terrorists from other forces from taking advantage of the opportunity to infiltrate and rob.

Tokyo was almost completely paralyzed, and all television signals were interrupted.The images that Agent Hill saw came from American reconnaissance satellites and drones. What can be confirmed is that Shinjuku, Shibuya, and Kudanzaka in Chiyoda Ward (I expressed this place name in a very subtle way in order not to appear too naive) All suffered devastating blows.The specific number of casualties cannot be confirmed, and the U.S. Embassy is actively contacting the Japanese government.

In Sydney, Australia, with a shocking explosion, the Sydney Harbor Bridge, which is famous at home and abroad, was reduced to nothing.The Sydney Opera House was bombed and only ruins were left.The entire country was in great grief. "This is undoubtedly a terrorist attack. We will do everything possible to protect the safety of the people and identify the real culprits." The Prime Minister's speech was not exciting. Compared with several other places, Australia's losses are considered light.

Cape Town, South Africa, headlines are sensational: The devil leaves hell and overturns God's table.The famous Table Mountain was hit by a missile, killing a large number of tourists.The South African Navy quickly attacked, but was met with a suicide collision by a missile-launching destroyer.This was the only attack of all against the military.

Also located in the Southern Hemisphere, Rio de Janeiro is not immune.The riot started in a slum. At first, the local police even mistakenly thought it was just an ordinary gang fight.It wasn't until the flames of war swept through the city, and Rio's symbol Monte Cristo was not spared. Slogans of "Long Live Hydra" rang out from everywhere, and then quickly dissipated, that the locals realized that this was an organized terrorist attack.

"What exactly is going on!"

Hill was beyond shocked. This scene was just like the tragic world war 70 years ago, even worse.She looked at Captain America beside her. However, at this moment, this veteran who had experienced that war personally, like her, fell into unprecedented astonishment.

Iron Man, who came after hearing the news, barely remained calm. He quickly pulled up a map and pointed at the seven highlighted coordinates on it, which represented the seven cities that had just been attacked.

"London, Berlin, in Europe." Tony said, while his hand circled dots on the map, "Istanbul, where Europe, Asia and Africa meet. Tokyo, one of the cities with the highest population density in Asia. Sydney, the most important city in Oceania. Cape Town, the focus of southern Africa. Rio de Janeiro, the best natural port in South America. These cities represent almost all continents, except..."

"North America."

Captain America said expressionlessly.

"Theoretically, the same goes for Antarctica." Tony said, "But apart from a few scientific research stations, Antarctica is almost uninhabited and can be excluded. Since the last time three helicarriers crashed in Washington, almost the whole world has known about the nine There is obviously no need for them to raise their profile through such senseless killings. Such attacks in major cities around the world, in my opinion, are more like some kind of ritual."

"To complete this ritual, North America is an integral part."

"That's right," Tony nodded to Agent Hill, "These seven attacks broke out almost at the same time, and so far, there has been no movement in North America. It is possible that this is not only part of the ceremony, but also a part of this The grand finale of the ceremony.”

"Mr. Stark, in addition to being the most famous local cities, these seven cities have one thing in common. They are all close to the sea."

Vision suddenly emerged from the ground, bringing with him a crucial message.

Captain America's extremely high military literacy allowed Captain America to quickly think of important coastal cities on the east and west coasts of the United States and the southern Gulf Coast.

"Seattle, San Francisco, Portland, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Houston, Miami, Philadelphia, Boston, New York."

Tony Stark frowned, "Why doesn't our good neighbor Canada have to worry about these bad things? Even if we can narrow the target to this range, we still cannot achieve comprehensive defense. Moreover, in the face of terrorist attacks, defense is finished , what we have to do is to nip it in the bud.”

"We need Doctor Strange's help," Captain America said. "With his portal, the Avengers can reach all parts of the United States as quickly as possible."

"Should we get Belle back from Washington?" Speaking of the portal, Hill immediately thought of her.

"No," the captain said, "just let her stay there. Apart from the coastal cities, the only important targets left in the United States, besides us, are the Pentagon and Washington."

"If we don't take her with us, we have to find a way to deal with that Asgardian friend." Iron Man said.

Although Wanda arrived a step late, the timing was just right, "If it's just spiritual magic, I think I can do it too."

Vision glanced at her, but added: "It would be best to contact the Son of Odin."

Agent Hill said worriedly: "SHIELD has been trying to contact Thor since they were attacked in London, but we have no reliable channel."

"Thor said that there is someone in Asgard who can see everything in the nine realms," Iron Man said. "Now that it has reached this level and he has not appeared yet, it must be that they are not at peace there either."

Wanda said, "We're on our own, right? I mean, could this be worse than Sokovia?"

"You're right," Tony said with a wry smile, "For us, the destruction of the earth is indeed the pinnacle of bad things."

"It's important to stay optimistic." Captain America nodded heavily, and then looked at everyone, "Tony went to contact Doctor Strange and asked for his help, and Hill went to summon all the available forces to follow the areas just mentioned. Focus on surveillance. Vision is responsible for monitoring information on the network and not letting go of any traces. Wanda, contact everyone who is not at the headquarters."

"Avengers, assemble!"
