infinite hero

Chapter 24

Although Sid's abnormal reaction was only for a moment, Tony, who had been paying attention to him, still noticed it.Just as Sid knew his temperament best, he was the one who knew Sid best.In this case, Sid will never do unnecessary movements; that is, if something makes Sid feel wrong...

Tony swept past Fury without a trace.Long sofas, glass tables, and a large glass floor-to-ceiling wall behind the empty hall.There were no unusual sounds, nor unusual lights, so what was Sid looking at?

Because of the height problem, when Fury handed the document to Sid, his eyes looked at Tony, who was also sitting opposite him.So he only sees Tony's sidelong glance and doesn't notice Sid's small pause. "It's probably not quite helpful," he said. "To be precise, we need Mr. Stark Jr.'s assistance in the investigation."

"Huh?" Tony naturally looked back, and tapped his fingers on the leather surface of the sofa. "How about the investigation? What if there is no result?"

Of course, if there is a result, they will be directly detained in S.H.I.E.L.D. and will not let anyone go!Fury thought, but he wasn't stupid enough to say it.Because although the relationship between the Stark brothers is tense, if he wants to take Sid away forcibly, Tony will definitely feel that his face is damaged and he will fight with S.H.I.E.L.D.——

In fact, when he came here, he didn't expect much from this trip to successfully achieve the goal, especially when he entered the door and found that the first person he saw was Tony.The only possibility of a peaceful solution is Sid's voluntary cooperation...

"I don't quite understand."

Sid's voice interrupted the tense atmosphere between the two.He sat on the sofa in the middle, scanning the yellowed pages at a glance.After realizing that he had successfully attracted the attention of the other two people, he spread the documents on the table with a lack of interest on his face: "You said that you need my assistance in the investigation, but after reading them, I still don't know what you are going to investigate."

This acting really needs 360 five likes, Tony thought.Of course they knew that Fury wanted to work on the Blue Cube, but Fury didn't need to know that. "No sincerity, is there?" he said sarcastically.

Fury suddenly felt a headache.A Tony is enough for him to have this feeling, not to mention that Sid is not someone who will easily compromise. "Because it's a S.H.I.E.L.D. secret."

"Confidential, huh?" Tony raised an eyebrow. "Can you take away a law-abiding American citizen for the so-called S.H.I.E.L.D. secrets, Fury? You have that right?"

The procedure was illegal, of course Fury knew it.He may be able to take one-way coercive measures against ordinary people; but the Starks are different, they will make things known to the world; besides, he really can't guarantee that he is just assisting in the investigation.

"I really can't," he leaned back, fingertips meeting on lapped knees, "but we can make a deal."

"Good," Sid nodded. "That sounds like the part I'm good at."

Fury smiled. "I guess you're not really uninterested in this." When he said "you", his eyes were actually on Tony. "So I have a proposal."

Fury's glance was actually right, and Tony wanted to find out all the things in the world, especially the things that others didn't want him to know.But now Tony really doesn't want to know——

Would he sacrifice Sid's safety to satisfy his curiosity?Of course not!

But Sid answered before Tony did. "You tell us the whole truth and I go with you?"

As soon as these words came out, Tony stared.Didn't they agree to drive Fury out together?Did Sid change his mind by saying that?

Fury looked at Tony and Sid in turn.Why does he feel that the undercurrent of the two brothers is not really that tense? "If it's someone else, we can't discuss any conditions." He said bluntly, "but I believe in your credibility."

There is no doubt that this "you" can only refer to Sid, and Tony can't help but roll another big eye.Where is he so unreliable?

"Deal." Sid nodded and stood up at the same time. "But I need 10 minutes before we make it happen."

Fury looked at Tony, who was unhappy, and understood. "You can do whatever you want, I'll go out and wait."

When the black leather windbreaker completely disappeared from the field of vision, Tony immediately yelled: "What's the matter with you? This is different from what we said before!"

"It's different," Sid admitted, walking over to sit next to Tony, "but you must have figured it out - Fury didn't put all the information in the electronic system." That is to say, hacking skills alone can't Get all the information about Blue Cube.And if he went, there was a high chance of seeing the Blue Cube with his own eyes.

"So you're going to take the risk?" Tony's voice rose again. "Just kidding—how are you going to get out of Fury?"

"Just like in the cave, I think there must be another way." Sid replied calmly. "You and I both know that I may not be such a pure person, at least not such a pure earthling." If so, Howard doesn't need to make great efforts to seal up all the relevant information, and it is impossible for him to encounter a person in a cave. of those things.

Tony sighed in frustration. "I have to admit that you are extraordinary in some respects. But that doesn't mean that you can turn bad luck into good luck every time!"

"I really can't." Sid grabbed Tony's hand when he answered, "but don't you?"

In normal times, these words must be very useful to Tony.Of course, it's not that he doesn't use it now, it's just that this kind of use is mixed with unhappiness and worry, so that he is still unhappy. "You have to bring at least a tiny transceiver, the kind that Fury won't find out too soon." He pulled Sid back, almost dragging him towards the stairs.

Sid doesn't dispute that.But in fact, he has been paying attention to the feeling of being watched.It never went away, so he really felt that there was someone beside them - pacing slowly, smiling evilly - but he couldn't see anything.If he had to, he thought he heard another small voice.

"The baby that appeared with the Cosmic Cube? Why is it not recorded in the books of Asgard?"

"What kind of fool is Fury not to see the relationship?"

"But that's all right, all that's needed is his stupidity..."

Sid felt that even if he was schizophrenic, it would be impossible for him to be so outrageously split—the Cosmic Cube?Asgard?All he wants is his stupidity?

What is this all about!

So, if what he's hearing is true, does that mean Fury fell into a trap set by someone invisible?

As the old saying goes, Sid doesn't care about Fury.Guessing from what he heard, that guy came for the Cosmic Cube, and the Cosmic Cube is probably the name of the blue cube.Not so coincidentally, Tony and he also wanted the answer to his parentage question from the Cosmic Cube.Then, the invisible man will be their greatest threat...

Sid wanted those 10 minutes because he wanted a chance to tell Tony to watch out for a guy who might not see him.But the Invisible Man seemed more interested in them and didn't go away with Fury gone.

... Who the hell is this guy?What happened to him?

It wasn't until he got on the S.H.I.E.L.D.'s signature black van that Sid temporarily felt relieved—the feeling of being watched disappeared.

Theoretically, there are only two reasons for this: Either the invisible man gave up tracking, or the invisible man has another way to reach the same destination.And judging from the fact that neither Tony nor Fury noticed the abnormality, the latter is more likely-if it can be invisible, it is also likely to fly, isn't it?

While Sid was thinking, Fury on the opposite side had been observing quietly.Although Sid seems to be very cooperative, but being able to get involved with the blue cube, he feels that Sid is likely to be more difficult to deal with than before.

I have to say that Fury's feeling is real.Because Sid found that even if Fury's lips didn't move at all, he could hear the sound of those thought gears turning in Fury's head——

"I don't know if we should let Sid see the cube. His origin is unknown, in case there is any chemical reaction with the cube..."

"But he was raised by the old Stark. From this aspect, maybe my decision is not so risky? For example, let Sid assist Selvig to discover the energy in the cube? Iron Man is fine..."

"In contrast, the worst-case scenario is that Sid has nothing to do with the cube at all? That means we have no shortcuts at all..."

Sid nearly fell to his knees at the sounds he heard.He had to realize that it was definitely not his mental breakdown, but that he was beginning to hear other people's thoughts!God, he doesn't want to be everyone else's mental trash can!

But thinking about it this way, Sid found that the surroundings became clearer.He paused, and had to make a bold guess: he could control whether he could hear it or not!

If that was the case, then the question arises—why could he suddenly hear the invisible man's thoughts in the first place?Could it be that the other party's sense of existence is too strong?

The silence was so long that Fury, who never cared about the silence, felt that something was wrong. "How did you convince your brother?" He said tentatively, "Well...I mean, he never easily agrees with any decision of S.H.I.E.L.D.."

Sid returned to his senses and shrugged slightly. "He didn't agree this time either."

Fury choked a little, but then realized this was normal. "Then he..."

"He was pissed and said he didn't care about it anymore." Sid skipped over the reasons, again playing on the virtue of half-truths and half-false lies.It was true that Tony was angry, but never mind... how could that be? "Let's leave him alone," he changed the subject, "Why don't we talk about the blue cube?"

Fury didn't trust Tony to stop taking care of the matter, but he only thought that Tony had said something angry, not that Sid had lied. "Well," he replied, thinking it was [-] percent that Sid would ask Blue Cube, "what else do you want to know?"

In the deal they just completed, both sides kept their promises.Sid got into the S.H.I.E.L.D. car safely, and Fury took out half of the relevant materials first, and gave the other half after Sid entered the Joint Dark Energy Operations Center.Of course, the other half is for Tony, and Sid can definitely see it in the center anyway.

"A little bit." Sid shrugged again.He already knew what Fury was going to do, and of course he would not deliberately step on the opponent's minefield and question Fury if he wanted to make weapons of mass destruction.He was in the hands of the other party at once, and to do so was to ask for trouble. "Like, can I look at that blue cube?"

Fury narrowed his eyes slightly.He wasn't surprised that Sid wanted to see the cube, but he was surprised that Sid told him so bluntly. "You just want to see it?"

"Otherwise?" Sid asked back, "Even if I want to do something, I have to know what I can do with it!"

Fury raised his jaw and put it back.These words came to his heart——

He wants to use the energy of the blue cube to make weapons, but first he has to figure out how to use the energy!If they don't know anything, they can't use it at all!

Because of this, the Blue Cube has become the longest and most powerful 0-8-4 in S.H.I.E.L.D.

What's more, even if Sid didn't say anything, he would show Sid the blue cube.After all, the two 0-8-4s, Sid and Blue Cube, seem to be so connected?

"Okay." Fury nodded.

"Very good." Sid showed a slight smile, "This is a good start for the transaction." He nodded to himself, and asked again: "Then what do I need to do? Blood draw? Cerebrospinal fluid analysis? Or stem cell sampling? "

Fury was a little dizzy from this series of continuous and skilled biochemical analysis methods, but he quickly regained his senses. "In any case, we guarantee your safety."

"The premise is naturally that I have no harm." Sid finished the sentence for him, "If I am finally found to have the same ability as Dr. Banner, or similar, I am afraid that what is waiting for me is a special safety cage, right?"

Dr. Banner, whose full name is Bruce Banner, is a scientist and an absolute authority in the field of gamma ray research.But an experimental accident exposed him to so much gamma radiation that he was genetically modified.He is usually no different from ordinary people, but when he is angry, he will turn into a big green man with infinite strength, and he calls himself "Hulk".

Since Dr. Banner can't control Hulk's behavior, or that Hulk is irrational, he has always been a confidant of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the military.In the past few years, Hulk has made a big fuss (the reason for the anger is suspicious, because Dr. Banner is a good old man), and finally ended with Dr. Banner evading the pursuit of the military.

Fury certainly knew the ins and outs.But the problem is that the smile he is showing now is forced, but there is no regret or guilt at all. "That's a hazard precaution."

Sid pouted inwardly.

There is no doubt that Fury's iron-blooded character determines that he will take a counterattack immediately-as long as Fury feels that the other party is threatening, rather than that the harm has been done.Sounds like more damage can be avoided, but maybe there is a peaceful solution?

But Sid was just thinking about it, and he wasn't free enough to argue with Fury about his style. "Well, let me say it first," he put his shoulders down, and leaned back against the slightly shaking car wall, "If you can't find any problems with me, it's definitely not that I don't cooperate."

Fury keenly sniffed out the hidden meaning in this sentence. "What do you mean?"

"Believe it or not," Sid began to close his eyes and meditate, "I have used all the identification methods that can be used in this world, including the methods I just told you. If you can find something different this time Yes, I can really thank God."

Fury was genuinely surprised now.There was no need for Sid to lie to him about this, so could it be that he was mistaken?

The two had different thoughts and remained silent all the way.

For the next two weeks, Sid lived at the Joint Dark Energy Operations Center.He didn't have much idea about the research center, and even less about the tests being administered to him.To put it bluntly, the imagination of S.H.I.E.L.D. medical-related researchers is not even as good as his own, so it would be strange to find any abnormalities.

In addition, Fury probably listened to his words, and didn't let anyone take the risk of using unforeseen consequences on him, such as rays.After all, S.H.I.E.L.D. is about mitigating threats, not creating them.

Moreover, there is a magic weapon in him that outsiders can't detect at all: he can listen to the voice of any soul, and even manipulate them——

That's right, any!

Sid's residence is about 100 meters deep, which is the site of a medical research center.And under normal circumstances, even a research-based hospital will inevitably have dead people and animals.The first time he heard the creaking sound in the corridor, he thought it was some white mouse that had slipped out.But later he discovered that what he heard was the voice of a dead mouse!

It was a little scary, and Sid subconsciously wanted them all to leave.Then he realized that he really couldn't hear those voices anymore——

This was completely beyond Sid's cognition, and he was stunned when he determined this.Can he listen to the voice of the soul, and even control the undead?
