Princess Disease

When the artificial intelligence notified the news that Howard had passed the verification, the top executives of S.H.I.E.L.D. also knew that a certain old man who was not easy to provoke was here.

Back in the day, when this unreliable boss had just retired for a month, everyone felt very uncomfortable, because the new boss was much stricter than Howard, requiring everyone to sign in and clock in at work every day, and he would not pay out of his own pocket to organize everyone at the end of the month. Travel to New York to buy and buy.But soon, a group of agents discovered that it was better to be more disciplined than the free-spirited Howard. After all, they were elite agents who dealt with dangerous incidents, rather than being idle and flirting.

Besides, after Howard retires, S.H.I.E.L.D. will no longer receive such nonsense complaints as "your director fucks with other people's wives".

"Why are you here, sir?" The incident with Captain America's serum has not been dealt with yet. Fury now has a headache when he hears Howard's name. In addition, Tony Stark and Captain America are both present, giving people a kind of group to kick the hall. Feeling, this made Fury even more troubled: "Is it a Manhattan thing? Aren't Coulson and Romanoff both there? And Hill, can't handle this well?"

"Not exactly this," the intelligent secretary replied flatly: "Internal information update, Thor has returned to Asgard through the rainbow bridge connecting the Nine Realms, but Isabella Stark and his They disappeared together, and it is speculated that this may be the reason for the officer's visit."

Fury froze for a moment: "What does it mean that Isabella Stark disappeared with Thor?"

"Literally," said the smart secretary, "after the Rainbow Bridge disappeared, Miss Stark also disappeared. According to Agent Coulson's speculation, she might have been taken away by accident, because there was another person from God's Domain who was left behind. on Earth."

Hearing the news, Fury almost wanted to send a maintenance team to help Asgard repair the Rainbow Bridge.

It stands to reason that your technological level is higher, right?How can you still make such a low-level mistake of sending the wrong person?Besides, even if it was sent by mistake, it's not good to pick anyone, and Stark's daughter must be taken away!Isn't this looking for trouble?

The above is the complaint from the crazy director.

"Miss Stark is missing, it's a pity, but what's the use of them coming to me?" Fury circled the room with his hands on his hips: "Can I help them bring Miss Stark back—"

Fury, who was talking to himself, suddenly shut up, and he found himself as if... really could.

"Oh, God," Fury covered his face with one hand: "Isn't this group of people interested in the Rubik's Cube?!"

With the old man's unreliability and Tony Stark's daughter's degree of control, it's really hard to say.

"Go and see if the No. 007 collection in the safe is still there!" Although Howard has retired, he doesn't know how the Security Council decided. Anyway, his authority in SHIELD has always been there, and Fury has not yet There is no way to restrict Howard, in case Howard becomes unreasonable because of the loss of his granddaughter, even the negotiation is omitted, and he just goes to the safe to take the Rubik's Cube away... Fury will find someone to reason with.

Fury's premonition came true, and a few seconds later, the smart secretary suddenly switched the security mode in the director's office to the alert mode: "Warning! Warning! Collection No. 007 is missing! Checking the records... No extraction information!"

Fury's heart skipped a beat, and just as he was about to say something, the door of the director's office was pushed open, and Howard walked in with a group of people.

"It is recommended to close the Trident building immediately!" The intelligent secretary was still shouting at the top of his lungs: "Conduct internal security investigation!"

Howard looked blankly at Fury, who was also in a daze, and then at the red alarm lights flickering all over the room: "This is... what's wrong?"

The old man thought to himself, I haven't started fighting or grabbing things yet, so why did the alarm go off?

Fury asked straight to the point: "Sir, did you take the No. 007 collection in the safe?"

"What Collection 007?" Howard frowned slightly: "I don't know."

Fury looked at Natasha and Coulson who were following behind, and Coulson took the initiative to say, "After we registered downstairs, we came directly by the elevator."

Did not go anywhere else during the period, and no one left.

In other words, it wasn't Howard who did it, and that would be troublesome.

Regardless of the explanation, Fury immediately switched the entire Trident building to alert mode, and then issued a secret order through the intranet: "Raise the security level to the highest level, secretly block all the exits of the building, and carefully check every exit. Those of you, don't scare the snake, and don't let go of any clues!"

"We lost the most important thing."

After listening to Fury's brief narration, Howard slapped Tony on the face, pushed his anxious son who was about to run away into Natasha's arms, then he cleared his throat and said slowly: "You just said you Lost the Cosmic Rubik's Cube?"

...I didn't lose it!

Fury nodded with difficulty: "Yes."

"Okay, young man," Howard patted Fury on the shoulder: "Who recommended you to be the chief? Let him come out, and I promise not to kill him."

"Who are you going to hit with your old arms and legs!" Tony twisted desperately for a long time, and finally got rid of the black widow's restraint by relying on his inexplicably strengthened attribute: "Look for something first!"

"The entire building has been ordered to be sealed off," Fury replied: "It has been less than a minute since the collection was lost, and the thief should not be able to get out."

"Then I'll wait here for a while," Howard walked to the sofa and sat down in a godlike manner: "Tony, stop spinning around, it makes me dizzy!"

Tony rolled his eyes at his dad.

Fury asked Howard and others to stay here for a while, and he went out and took people to find the Rubik's Cube.

After a long wait, Fury came back like a gust of wind.

Howard raised one eyebrow: "Didn't find it?"

Fury opened the huge virtual light screen and called up a file: "I checked it all, and there is nothing."

"This must be intentional! Who wants to stop me from looking for my daughter!" Tony said with a grumpy face, "Isn't there a camera in your damn collection room?"

"Cameras are installed," the artificial intelligence in the office replied in a cold tone: "But there are no entry and exit records in the safe storage room, and there are no pictures of people appearing and leaving."

"That is to say, from the safe of the collection to the loss, your surveillance didn't capture a single person during the whole process?" Tony frowned: "How is it possible? Unless the thief can separate the air—"

Everyone cast their eyes on Tony, who was half-spoken.

"——Qiwu," Tony suddenly became excited: "Who has the contact information of that so-and-so doctor? Ask him!"

Everyone looked at each other.

Howard tapped the ground with his cane: "Tony, speak humanly."

"Doctor Strange!" Tony didn't care to quarrel with his father, he patted the table vigorously: "Who else can open the space door with bare hands except him?"

"It's too much." Natasha folded her arms and shrugged her shoulders: "It is said that this is an introductory course for Karma Taj. If you can't learn it, don't even think about being a magician. It means you have no talent."

Fury understood what Tony meant. Since the space door can be opened big, it can also be opened small. If a magician opens the door into the safe of the Rubik's Cube, the alarm will not be triggered, and the Rubik's Cube can be opened directly. take away.

"The security scan is every half an hour," Fury tapped his fingers quickly on the virtual keyboard: "That is to say..."

If it was really done by a magician, the Cosmic Rubik's Cube might have been stolen long ago. In addition, people can open the space door on the other side of the earth. Unless Fury can also open it, otherwise they will not be able to catch up with people anyway.

"Damn it!" Fury slammed his fist on the table angrily.

"I'm already contacting Doctor Strange," Natasha said, "but the phone can't get through."

Coulson actually saw the "blue face" from Fury's face. He thought for a while and said cautiously: "It may not be that Doctor Strange did it. Kama Taj is also not peaceful. Magicians often rebel. ..."

"I know," Fury rolled his eyes particularly conspicuously: "Ask Professor X to see if the doctor is with him."

"Not here," Natasha said bluntly, "Professor X doesn't know where he is."

Things are at an impasse.

Seeing that it was getting dark and there was no result yet, Howard decided to let Fury find it first, and take the group of people to dinner by himself.

As soon as everyone walked out of the director's office, Tony's cell phone rang frantically, and more than 100 emails poured in at the same time.

"What is this for!" Tony was taken aback. Seeing that the caller ID was Jarvis, he quickly picked it up: "What's the matter, buddy? I had an accident here. There may be signal blocking in the office. I know you came in." Not coming--"

"Sir! Miss and Mr. Saul have already arrived home. I can't get through to you. They are going to Washington to find you."

Tony:  …

"I'll be home right away," Tony said dumbfounded, "transfer the call to Bella!"

During the period when Jarvis transferred the phone, Tony was successfully relieved from the irritable state. Now he is refreshed and feels that he has regained his life. He smiled at Howard and said beamingly: "Bella I'm back now, I'm going home to find my daughter, play slowly."

Howard first breathed a sigh of relief, and then he shot his irresponsible son with contempt.

Tony bounced it all back with his thick skin.

"Dad!" Isabella's voice came: "Are you okay? You scared me to death!"

"It's okay," Tony comforted softly, "Daddy will be home right away, baby, don't worry."

"That..." Isabella's voice suddenly became weird: "Father, why don't you help me find the supreme mage first?"

A bad premonition rose in Tony's heart: "What's wrong?"

"Someone broke into our house with a Rubik's Cube," Isabella said as she ran, as there was a jingling sound on the other end of the receiver, "Sol's calling them—"

A beeping busy tone came, and the phone was hung up.

Tony stared blankly at the phone.

Coulson secretly whispered to Natasha: "Is this the legendary present report?"

"Don't talk, don't act dead!" Natasha covered Coulson's mouth: "Hurry up and fly the plane!"

"Hello? Hello!" Isabella shook her phone blankly: "Jarvis, why is the signal cut off?"

Jarvis, who was always on call, didn't answer.

"This is the mirrored space," Saul stepped back, holding Isabella behind his back, with a stern expression: "It's not reality."

What's the meaning?Isabella turned her head to look around, and she found that the air not far away had an effect like a shattered lens, and the range gradually expanded to the surroundings.

"That means," the invading magician took off his hood, and with two dark circles under his eyes, he smiled grimly at Isabella: "You will be trapped here to death, and you will never be able to get out. go."
