"Good morning, gentlemen and ladies!"
In the combat meeting and command room of the Bear Shield Bureau's "Little Bear" Ji'an special-sized medium transport ship, Coulson gathered all the important agents of his special operations team at eight o'clock the next morning. Plan to make further mission arrangements and make some necessary intelligence announcements.
He looked at Melinda, Fitz, Simmons, Skye, Alfonso, Barbara, Lance and the representative of the Inhumans, Crystal, who were standing in front of him, as well as a certain giant creature lying aside. After Bulldog Tetanus, Coulson nodded with satisfaction.
Now, the business of their Bear Shield Bureau is getting more and more prosperous, the equipment is getting better and better, and there are more and more capable generals under his command. He relies on whether he can perform the mission well and protect them. I am really becoming more and more confident about these things about living on earth!
"I have two pieces of good news and one piece of bad news..."
"First of all, there is one thing that everyone knows, that is: after the unremitting efforts of our Bear Shield Bureau, the Inhuman City Attilan, and representatives of related forces on the earth, we finally reached a consensus on certain things last night! From today on, when we go out on missions, we no longer have to pretend to be the FBI, the KGB, or any other organization!"
"We can now openly use our identity as Bear Shield to gain more convenience for some of our future missions! It can be said that our former SHIELD is finally alive again. ! And, in a better and more powerful way!"
"All right……"
Looking at the shameless expressions of the people in front of him, they must have known about this matter for a long time, and their interest was obviously not very high. Coulson could only touch his nose in embarrassment and stopped. Going to talk about another thing.
"There is another piece of good news: an old friend of our action team, Agent Ward, is Grant Ward, a member of Hydra. I think some of you still remember him, right?"
"Some time ago, he seemed to have been rescued by someone named Malik, who hired someone to rescue him. They also stole a strange big black stone that was kept by the Sky Hammer Bureau. I don't know what conspiracy they wanted to do... "
When Colson was about to continue speaking, Melinda standing in front suddenly interrupted him.
"Colson, I don't think this is good news at all!"
"That member of Hydra, he actually ran away? Maybe we should prepare to set off now, and we should be able to catch that hateful guy again before noon?!"
Melinda couldn't sit still after hearing that Ward, who had been lurking in S.H.I.E.L.D. and even sneaked into her team, had actually escaped from prison.
She still remembers that the reason why their former S.H.I.E.L.D. was announced to be disbanded was actually thanks to Hydra! And now, after discovering that another group of Hydra guys have emerged, Melinda just wants to quickly get rid of all those guys who are causing trouble!
Cut off one head and grow two more?
She, Melinda, wanted to take a look. She would kill off one of their heads to see how many they could grow. !
"No, Melinda, please wait, I haven't finished speaking yet..."
After signaling to the other party to calm down for the time being, Coulson wiped his sweat and continued:
"The next thing I want to say is the good news! That Ward and his accomplices who rescued him seemed to be planning some conspiracy after they robbed an item stored in a special warehouse?"
"Look, what they stole was this stone! Until now, we haven't been able to figure out what it is... Anyway, the Hydra people will risk their lives to steal it!"
At this time, Coulson brought up a holographic screen, which showed the thing that the other party was trying to steal!
However, now that it has been transported to the lunar base by the Bear Shield Bureau, it will probably be a little difficult for them to steal it again.
"Fortunately... Director Nick Fury asked another team to keep an eye on their whereabouts, so they failed in the end!"
"Everyone knows that now our Bear Shield Bureau's surveillance equipment and individual soldier equipment are quite good, surpassing the mainstream equipment on the earth for hundreds of years! Therefore, in our Bear Shield Bureau a team of fully armed Under the fierce surprise attack by the Marines, they had no time to implement the plan, and were quickly beaten by the director of fishing law enforcement! Then, including the escaped Ward, we captured another Hydra. Big Fish, that Malik?”
"So, this is really great news, isn't it?!"
After saying this, Coulson gave a rare smile.
Now, he finally understands why the director has been leaving those Hydras alone recently. Maybe it's because he can pull out some of the other party's important figures one by one? From this point of view, Director Nick Fury's desire for revenge is actually quite serious, especially when dealing with those Hydras.
Look, in order to target those old enemies, the director actually arranged a special team to watch Hydra's every move, and inadvertently caught a lot of big fish.
"Sorry to bother you..."
"The stone you just mentioned suddenly looks very familiar to me..."
At this time, the Inhuman Princess Crystal, who had been sitting next to her, listening boredly to Coulson's speech and teasing her big dog from time to time, suddenly stood up in surprise and looked at the kid who had just been kidnapped in disbelief. The holographic image of the stolen item that Erson called up.
"Uh... Princess Crystal, are you sure you know this thing, this stone?!"
Coulson was also a little surprised when he saw that this little Inhuman princess, who had never liked to participate in their affairs and was just listening in most cases, suddenly spoke unexpectedly. If the Inhumans really knew this thing, that would be great, and it would save them the trouble of studying it!
"I'm a little unsure too..."
"Mr. Colson, I would like to ask you first: Is this black stone always the same stone without any changes, or does it occasionally have some strange reactions? For example... it suddenly melts into water. Normal, and then solidified back?"
Walking over and getting in front of the black boulder holographic image released by Coulson, Crystal stretched out his hand and grabbed it in front of his eyes, and began to observe it carefully for a while, then zoomed in and continued observing for a while, and then asked a little uncertainly. road.
"Yes! You're right! This thing is like that!"
"We have records. Someone once studied it for a long time, but they didn't know what it was! In the past, when they were studying it, it was said that it suddenly turned into something like water, and then caught all the researchers off guard. Breathe it in, and then it will magically return to its original shape in no time!”
"What's even more amazing is that after eating so many people, its size didn't change at all! Since then, it has been classified as a dangerous object by SHIELD and locked in a special In a bulletproof glass cabinet.”
"So, Princess Crystal, do you know something we don't know?"
After hearing that the little crystal girl actually told some of the properties of this stone, Coulson felt that the other party must know some secret things that their Bear Shield Bureau did not know! If they could learn it from this Inhuman girl, it would save them Bear Shield Bureau some trouble and know how to keep it.
"If I read it correctly, it is not actually an ordinary stone, but a Kree technological item. At the same time, it is also a portal!"
Most of what the Inhumans in Attilan use now are very fantasy Kree technology items, many of which are not on the same technology tree as human technology! Therefore, it took SHIELD so long to get it before they could figure out what it was.
But Crystal was different. She had grown up in Attilan, which had a strong Kree technological environment. Whether it was through the documentary records she had read in the past, or her own personal observation, she quickly judged What exactly is the stone in this holographic image?
"Portal?!"
Coulson simply couldn't imagine what kind of weird aliens and alien technology could make a teleporter look like a stone? !
"You may not know that we, the Inhumans, were once experimental objects of the Kree!"
"I have read many secret ancient documents in our Attilan: In ancient times, the reason why our Inhumans appeared on Earth was entirely because of the experimental results during the war between the Kree and the Skrulls! Our ancestors, In fact, it was an experimental item that the Kree people forcibly modified based on the genes of the Earthlings. Although, I don’t know why, they gave it up in the end..."
"And among them, there is a terrifying existence, his name is Hive... He was designed by the Kree to control our Inhumans, and he is regarded as a leader-like existence..."
"Anyway, his mutation in Terrigen transformed him into a terrifying existence like a cellular parasite. It can survive permanently by occupying other people's bodies... and also obtain the memories of others in the process... "
"It is said that his true identity is a strange man with an octopus head and tentacles..."
"That hive, or the queen? He can also release parasites to devour humans as nourishment, or use parasitism to directly affect other aliens and dominate their will for enslavement and control..."
"It is said that no stranger can resist his control..."
"This kind of existence made our ancestors fear him and fear him... Therefore, at that time, someone used the Kree's portal technology to directly exile him to a distant planet! And if I remember correctly If so, it should be this kind of stone, it is exactly the same as the one recorded in the documents..."
"This thing is really terrible!"
"There are still people on your planet who want to recall that exiled evil being? Don't they know how serious the consequences this will have?"
After holding up the holographic image of the black boulder with her hands and looking at it again, the Inhuman Princess Crystal nodded firmly. It must be right. According to Mr. Colson's description just now, and comparing it with the documents she had seen before, it should be this kind of thing. Her memory is very good, there is no way she can be wrong!
"No, this thing is too terrible! I want to go back immediately and tell my sister, brother-in-law and royal advisor Karnak that they know!"
"Goodbye everyone, I'll come back to you another day! You must protect that stone!"
Feeling that the matter was urgent, Crystal didn't care to say anything else, and directly greeted the big dog behind her. Then after Tetanus's head started to light up, she and her big dog directly used their powers to teleport, instantly He disappeared, leaving only Coulson and others looking at each other in the conference room.
"..."
Inhumans...Hydra...
An alien named Hive...the head of an octopus...controls other aliens...
The head of an octopus...the hydra...
After silently sorting out what the little girl just said, the shrewd Coulson quickly sorted out some important information.
He suddenly felt that there was some connection between the Hydra organization and the octopus-headed monster that they all wanted to take risks and welcome back to Earth? This is just like their current Bear Shield Bureau is related to Annie's little bear. Otherwise, why would they use an octopus map as the organization's emblem?
"Great! Gentlemen and ladies!"
"We inadvertently obtained another important piece of information! Those Hydra guys, they probably want to rescue an octopus-headed monster called Hive from a distant planet through that black stone-like portal. So as to achieve the goal of controlling the entire world of Inhumans and ruling the world?”
"I think Director Nick Fury will be happy to hear our news! Our Bear Shield Bureau has unintentionally successfully crushed another Hydra conspiracy and protected our earth!"
Now that we know the general purpose of Jiutou, things will be easier to handle! After today's meeting ends, he will write a detailed report and submit it to the director.
However, Coulson did not pay too much attention to this matter.
He felt that now that the other party had failed, even if it succeeded, it would just be another alien version of the incident involving the enchanting banshee Lorelai! Perhaps the only difference between them is that one can only control men, while the other can only control strangers? !
Therefore, this matter should not be a big problem, as long as they keep the black stone! Could those guys from Hydra still come to the moon?
"Okay, everyone! Now that the good news is over, let's start with the bad news..."
"Last night, the battle between the flaming skull and our Bear Shield Magic Advisor in the suburbs of Los Angeles is probably still vivid in everyone's memory, right?"
"The thing is this: After investigation by our intelligence officers, we found that the reason why those gangsters were chased and brutally killed by the flaming skull was actually related to some dangerous items! It is said that the gangsters who escorted those items The members killed each other and almost wiped out the entire army just because they took a peek..."
"And that thing is our mission goal today! I think it may not be an easy task. By then, we will have to do all-round protection! If you have no doubts, go now Get ready! In the afternoon, we will take advantage of the handover between the gangsters to kill each other with their goods in one pot!"
After everything was said, Coulson finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, let's get over to the meeting!"
He put his hands on the holographic console in the conference room, looked at his companions in the conference room, and found that no one had any questions, Coulson nodded and indicated that he could move freely now.
Recently, their group can be said to have been idle for a long time, and now, they can finally work hard.

Chug tug tug…
The sun gradually rose. At this time, a middle-aged man with black hair rode his Harley motorcycle and arrived at this place on the seaside.
This is next to a beach road in New York. Because the location is relatively remote and close to a private residential area of high-end sea view villas, there are not too many vehicles and even fewer pedestrians!
But the place where the man stopped now is rather strange. From the outside, no matter how you look at it, it shows that this section is just a wasteland without any buildings! Pedestrians or camping vehicles who happen to come here to play and hang out will unconsciously bypass this place and go elsewhere, rarely stopping their eyes here.
Because, in their eyes, this vast wilderness has been surrounded by tall iron fences. No one is stupid enough to try or have the will to forcefully cross those weeds and climb over them. The tall Lanshan went to the wasteland inside.
However, this middle-aged man wearing a black leather jacket and leather trousers, a cowboy hat and sunglasses parked his strange Harley motorcycle with a chain on it here and kept stopping. He looked inside.
"Sure enough...it must be here!"
This strange motorcyclist first muttered to himself, then turned around and looked around. After feeling that not many people were paying attention to him, he suddenly turned the front of the motorcycle, increased the accelerator, and stopped. He rushed towards the wasteland full of thorns and weeds in front of him!
Then, something strange happened: not only did the other party not hit the weeds or the tall Tie Lanshan, but it was like driving on flat ground. After driving for a certain distance, it hit the Tie Lanshan. Before, it just disappeared and was never seen again...
However, what is even more strange is that even though there are many vehicles and some pedestrians not far from here, they strangely turn a blind eye to the black motorcycle and the motorcycle rider that suddenly disappeared, and continue to walk or drive. Start going around here.
(Reporting to the little master, something big has happened! Wake up quickly, your home is being robbed!)
"..."
Tibbers' words suddenly stirred up in Annie's mind, and then a little girl who was sleeping soundly couldn't help but gasp. It was obvious that she had been successfully disturbed by her little bear.
(Wow! Dear little master, I just discovered that someone seems to be coming to your door to cause trouble! Get up and take a look. People have come directly to your house now. Aren't you going to get up quickly and get ready to fight with them?
——Tibbers, who was thrown by Annie on the bedside, suddenly his eyes lit up, and then he directly woke up someone who was curled up in a blanket. Only the outline of a small body was visible, and he planned to continue sleeping in. An unsupervised little girl who slept until noon. )
"Who could it be...this early in the morning..."
After sticking out her head from the quilt and looking at the harsh sunlight blocked by the curtains, Annie muttered and retracted again.
The sun hasn't set yet and it's still early, so she doesn't plan to get up so early. Anyway, besides eating and sleeping, she seems to have no special pursuits in her current life...
Chug tug tug…
At this time, there was finally a burst of engine noise from a motorcycle outside the window, which seemed to be in the direction of Annie's door. Then it quickly stopped again, and there was a kicking of the car support, as if someone was getting out of the car. , and quickly reached out to push open the dim wooden door of her courtyard?
(Look! Look! The stranger opened the door and tried to break in!)
"..."
With her eyelids half drooped, Annie quickly sat up from the comfortable big bed. She endured the surging anger and grabbed Tibbs the bear who was very energetic even without sleeping at the head of the bed. Then she coldly He jumped out of bed with a face on his face, put on a pair of small slippers, then pushed open the floor-to-ceiling window and flew out directly.
"Hey! Who is that over there?"
"What on earth do you want to do in my territory? Do you still know how to be polite?! Why do you just break into other people's courtyards so casually? Be careful, I will call the police to arrest you!"
After floating over the small garden of her home, Annie's sleepy little face was still full of anger.
If the bad guy in front of him wearing sunglasses and sneaking in front of her house trying to break in doesn't give himself a reasonable explanation, he will be dead! Anne would definitely not show mercy to a guy like this who was sleeping on her and could tell at a glance that he was a bad guy!
Now, she is already thinking about how to control the other party.
"This aura is indeed you..."
The man in black leather jacket and sunglasses ignored Annie's question, but looked at the man who was slowly descending, floating and standing on the neatly manicured lawn in the garden. He stood more than ten meters away and was looking playful. He pointed his little finger at the little girl who was scolding him angrily.
"Are you a mage? What is your connection with those ancient mage cultivators?"
"Forget it...I'll just forget about it...I'll just say this: I came here today to get the thing that you took away from Robbie Reyes last night!"
"If you can, please return it to me right away. Then, I, Johnny, promise not to embarrass you!"
After taking off his sunglasses, he smiled and looked at the little girl in front of him. Today, he actually didn't want to fight with this little mage! As long as he can get his thing back, he will really turn around and leave, and he will never stay any longer.
"Robbie Reyes...who is that? Sorry, I don't know him!"
(…)
(Master, I think he is probably talking about what happened on the side of the road last night, that is, the flaming skull...
——Tibbers felt that the opponent's body had a power similar to that of the flaming skull last night, or that it came from the same source. )
Shut up, Tibbers!
I didn’t steal other people’s things last night. It was obviously past twelve o’clock at that time, so it wasn’t last night!
How could Annie steal other people's things? Doesn't exist! She is a good girl! It should be today! Moreover, she was obviously just helping the poor guy get rid of the curse, and she was definitely not robbing him!
