Tony was so excited that he didn't sleep all night, thinking about going to the inner earth as soon as possible. For him, what could be more exciting than a new world? He strongly demanded to go to the inner earth immediately.
But Kai refused.
Because going to a new world is a very serious matter. It’s not like just picking up a bag and leaving. After all, the environments of the two worlds are very different. After thousands of years of independent evolution, the inner earth world and the surface world are very different. For example, the cold virus on the surface may be completely different in the inner earth world. No, if Tony and the others happen to bring this virus into the underground, it may cause a plague in the inner earth world at any time, and vice versa, if they bring out some viruses from the underground that are not found on the surface...
In short, this kind of thing must be prepared in advance.
Of course, Kai didn't think of this kind of thing beforehand. It was reminded by Merlin (the one from Kingsman) after arriving in the underground world. So when Kingsman built a secret base, the first thing he built was a biological laboratory and a biological purification laboratory.
So Tony needs to make some necessary checks and preparations, and of course there is a more important issue, which is... Kai has been in the inner earth world for too long and needs to give himself a holiday. So the trip was postponed for a few days.
On the SHIELD side, Nick Fury received new information about Natasha.
"Kai went to help Karma Taj deal with the threat from another space?" Nick Fury looked at this information solemnly.
Kai has been accusing Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. of destroying Kama Taj’s thousands of years of success. Nick Fury didn’t take it seriously on the surface, and even directly expressed his disbelief. After all, you can’t say anything, I You have to believe something.
But in fact, secretly Nick Fury attaches great importance to such information.
Nick Fury may be headstrong and extremely controlling, but one thing is for sure, his desire to protect the world is genuine. Knowing that the world was in danger, there was no way he could sit idly by. So I kept secretly exploring those so-called threats from different spaces.
The results are naturally self-evident. According to the news from the demon hunters, various supernatural incidents have increased dramatically in recent times. Many demon hunters have become busy and have caused many casualties. The Shadow Bureau has been tracking and solving related cases recently.
Captain America went to exorcise the demon... No one believed him even if he said it.
In this regard, S.H.I.E.L.D. is relatively slow. There is no way. The Shadow Bureau has a natural advantage in this regard. It is a vampire, a werewolf, a mummy, etc., and is naturally suitable for handling similar incidents.
What's even worse is that these were originally supposed to be the property of SHIELD.
Of course, these are all side details. What he really cares about is that even Kai was dragged into this kind of incident by Gu Yi, and Kai has been disappearing for several months. It is obvious that the trouble he encountered is extraordinary, but as far as he is concerned, , the trouble should be resolved. Otherwise Kai wouldn't have time to have any party with Tony.
But it's exactly this that makes Nick Fury feel bad.
In fact, ever since he got to know Karma Taj, Nick Fury has never stopped wanting to get in touch with him. Admittedly, the mystery of Karma-Taj made Nick Fury feel very insecure. But there is no doubt that the power of Karma Taj also has a strong attraction for Nick Fury.
If this organization can be used by SHIELD, then many things can be solved.
Of course, Nick Fury also knows this is delusional.
How could a mysterious organization that had existed for thousands of years be absorbed and merged by S.H.I.E.L.D. But if there is no contact, then everything after that is empty talk. Until now, SHIELD doesn’t know where Kama Taj is, let alone what kind of mechanism they operate and where their funds come from. Come on, where do their personnel come from, where do they train, and where do their powers come from? SHIELD is completely confused about all of this.
This gave Nick Fury even more headaches.
Originally, he heard Batman say last time that Kama Taj was very busy now. He just thought to see if he could start from here and cooperate with Kama Taj. S.H.I.E.L.D. has people and resources. If it can cooperate with Kama Taj, Kama Taj will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.
SHIELD can also get what it wants from cooperation, such as getting specific information about Kama Taj, such as seeing if it can win over Kama Taj's mage, etc.
As long as they have contact, he believes that they can slowly understand and even penetrate into Kama Taj.
But now it seems that Kama Taj and Master Gu Yi are very prejudiced against S.H.I.E.L.D. They are willing to contact Kai and let Kai help, but they are not willing to have any contact with S.H.I.E.L.D.
This leaves Nick Fury with all his abilities but no room to display them.
"Hey, we can only take it slow." Then Nick Fury turned his attention to the recruitment of The Flash.
These days, superheroes have suddenly become popular, and many organizations have begun to attract those with supernatural abilities, hoping to incorporate them into their systems. However, most superheroes are resistant to joining government departments.
But not everyone is like that, like The Flash.
This relatively friendly superhero suddenly attracted everyone's attention. S.H.I.E.L.D. naturally cannot be content with others.
Team Phil began to have contact with The Flash during this time.
Hope there will be a good result.
Did you find the problem? Natasha didn’t tell you any information about the inner earth world at all!
The reason why Natasha did this was simple. She began to consciously overthink the information.
For example, regarding the Inner Earth World, Natasha believed that with SHIELD's style, once they learned the information about the Inner Earth World, they would do anything to take this mysterious place into their own hands. And it is related to the safety of the entire world. Once it is not handled well, it will immediately cause a chain disaster.
For example, if there are so many monsters, once they riot, the whole world will be destroyed.
So Natasha thought it was better to hide this information.
So she didn’t report it at all!
And Natasha still didn't think she was wrong.
Change has quietly arrived!
…
The day before Kai and Tony planned to go to the inner earth, an unexpected visitor forced Kai to change his itinerary.
"Frank?! Why are you in New York?"
That day, Kai was just getting ready to get off work at the 15th Precinct. Frank, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, actually found Kai. When Kai saw Frank, his first reaction was, is this tough guy planning to end his retirement and return to his old career?
Seeing Kai's surprised expression, Frank suddenly had a smile on his face that seemed to never smile.
This made Kai immediately understand that the Punisher would never return to the world.
"Are you worried about me returning to my old career?" Frank quickly stopped smiling. Although he was still serious and serious, he lacked the murderous aura.
"No, I was really worried at first, but now... I think you have got used to retirement life." Kai shook his head.
Kay still remembered the first time he met Frank. His expression and temperament at that time were still fresh in his memory. The suppressed desire to destroy everything, the surging anger in his eyes, the murderous intent wrapped around his body, and the hidden behind The deep sadness makes one look at him and think that this man wants to destroy the world.
Frank nodded: "Indeed, a comfortable life will make soldiers weak... I am living a good life now."
The reason why Kai wanted to save Frank in the first place was because he was indeed miserable. His family was wiped out for no reason. Shouldn't others be allowed to take revenge? On the other hand, he only kills those who deserve to be killed, so Kai turns a blind eye.
After seeking revenge, Kai sent the Punisher to Garter, fearing he would eventually lose control.
Frank's mental state was already very unstable at that time. If allowed to develop, who knows whether his string of reason would snap?
It would be unworthy for such a person to die with a group of scum.
After Frank went to Garter Town, he gradually calmed down as Kai wished.
Jiade Town once experienced a period of being ruled by evil, so it was painful. After being saved by Kai, the people there can indeed be called simple and honest. In addition, there are few people in the remote area, the pace of life is slow, and it is peaceful as hell.
It's certainly a boring hell for young people.
But for a person who is traumatized and exhausted, it is a rare pure land.
That was true of Logan, and so was Frank.
Frank took the account he received and bought a forest and a farm in Jiade Town. When I feel depressed, I do farm work, cut trees, and hunt to prevent myself from thinking about those sad past events. When I have free time, I go to town to drink, go fishing with a few friends, or go camping in the mountains and forests.
All in all, I had a pretty good time.
Perhaps men with stories are attracted to each other. Logan and Red Tank both became friends with Frank.
"This is a good thing, Frank. No one can live on hatred, you are in a good state now. Do what you want to do, life is not long." Kai is very satisfied with Frank's current situation. Helping people is actually a pleasant thing, especially after you succeed, you will feel a sense of satisfaction.
"Tell me, what are you doing in New York this time?" Since he saw that Frank had no intention of returning to his old career, there were some things that he didn't have to worry about.
"It's nothing. It's just that a former comrade found me and asked me to help train a group of new soldiers."
"Training new recruits?" Kai was a little surprised: "I can invite you out. It seems that you owe me a lot of favors."
With Frank's current state, it would be no ordinary difficulty for him to get back out of trouble. Money and the like wouldn't be able to move him anyway. As for the reason for asking him to come out, Kai was not surprised. Frank is a former U.S. Marine Corps soldier with the rank of Captain. Due to his outstanding and powerful performance in the Marine Corps, he was awarded the Medal of Honor, the Navy Cross, 3 Silver Star Medals, 4 Purple Heart Medals, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. After retiring from the frontline battlefield, he returned to China and also served as a special forces unit. training instructor.
Asking him to train new recruits is simply not a match.
"Marvin Burgess, my old comrade-in-arms. He helped me a lot. During my most difficult period, he was the only one who supported me in my revenge."
Frank had four best comrades in his life, Curtis Hoyle, Billy Russell, Marvin Burgess and 'Blacksmith' Ray Schoonover. Among them, 'Blacksmith' Ray Schoonover was the murderer who killed his wife and children, and he had already killed him.
Now only three remain.
Among them, Curtis held a veterans sharing meeting in Georgia, aiming to allow veterans to find their own "spiritual corner" in the normal world. But the effect...just look at Frank.
After Frank was able to escape from the hospital with serious injuries, he hid in Georgia. Curtis hid the news that Frank was still alive from everyone.
Under the pseudonym Peter Castioni, he worked as a construction worker for a period of time under the introduction of Curtis. Unfortunately, Curtis could not make Frank forget his hatred.
It was Marvin Boggs who helped Frank escape secretly. After Marvin retired, he first entered the FBI and then transferred to the CIA three years later. He worked as a field agent for a long time and then quit the CIA. He didn't know what he had gone through. He looked neurotic and seemed to have persecution delusions. In short, he became extremely mysterious and didn't trust anyone except a few of his old comrades.
It was with his help that Frank made everyone think that he was dead. Afterwards, he decided to take revenge, and it was Marvin who helped him collect information and solve the weapon problem. After all, before deciding to take revenge, Frank was a model soldier and didn't understand many things at all. Without Marvin, he wouldn't be the Punisher he is now.
As for Billy Russell... Frank recognized the friendship between them, but... he felt that Billy would not understand what he was doing, so he never approached Billy. Billy also developed the best among his comrades. After retiring, he opened a private armed company to take over government work, making him a proper big boss.
But this time it was Marvin who suddenly found Frank.
Frank has only given Marvin his own place to stay. There is a high probability that Curtis will not have any surprises. After all, he is an honest man. Billy is a rich man and has a private armed company, so Frank naturally doesn't need to worry about it. Frank was worried about Marvin alone.
But Frank didn't expect that Marvin would find him this time for government matters. This made Frank a little worried. After all, Marvin has been extremely distrustful of government agencies since he quit the CIA. He has always believed that he was being monitored and even tortured to the point of becoming neurotic.
Now he has been found for government matters, which makes Frank very worried.
It was also because of this that Frank found Kay.
"Hmm... It's indeed a bit suspicious. Just wait, I'll check." After hearing this, Kai finally understood why Frank was looking for him.
With that said, Kay dialed the number of former National Security Agency Deputy Director Ray Monroe. Now that Lei no longer works in the Security Bureau, he has entered the cabinet and is responsible for intelligence work. Lei and Kai are old friends, and with Kai's relationship with President Benjamin, it's not a big problem to ask him for some information.
Soon Ray got on the phone.
After some pleasantries, when the matter was discussed, Lei was very happy and asked him to wait, and he asked immediately.
In less than a minute, Lei gave the answer.
Marvin did accept the government's commission. As for why Marvin would help the government, this involves another matter.
Lei couldn't disclose this aspect, so he only told Kai that Marvin was indeed cooperating with the government again.
In addition, Lei also revealed that the recruits trained by Frank this time were a bit special, and it was also because of this that they approached Frank.
From what that meant, they knew Frank's identity.
