I'm the Demon King in Marvel

Chapter 148 The Fish Begins to Move

This internal review of S.H.I.E.L.D. affected all registered agents, but what is very interesting is that agents such as the fake captain, Crossbones, Black Widow, Maria Hill, and Sharon Carter were arranged in the front batches.

Although their level in SHIELD is indeed not low, completing the first round of review within three days seems a bit deliberate.

"I think the higher-ups are definitely trying to get us to do something." As the only person who understood, Crossbones was responsible for acting as a go-between.

Hearing this, the fake captain's eyes flickered. He remembered that three days ago, on the eve of the internal review, Nick Fury suddenly appeared in his apartment, handed him a USB drive, and told him not to trust anyone.

The fake captain asked him back: You already know that Bucky has become a Hydra killer, why do you still believe me?

Nick Fury replied: Because you are Captain America!

At that moment, the fake captain felt a hint of sincerity from the old fox, and also realized that the identity of Captain America has really become a spiritual idol for some old-school figures over the past sixty years.

Phil Coulson's admiration for him, for example, was genuine.

Faced with a situation where no one can be trusted, Nick Fury still chooses to bet on Captain America.

Because of this identity, he is naturally trusted by old-school Americans.

In order to find out Buggy's past and to live up to the trust, the fake captain decided to do something.

After several agents met, the fake captain left alone and found an Internet cafe.

As soon as I turned on the computer, I wanted to insert the USB drive.

A hand stopped him, and Natasha Romanoff laughed and said, "You don't think that this USB drive can be used just by plugging it in, do you?"

This USB flash drive contained the data that Natasha had copied personally from the cruise ship during a rescue operation they had recently participated in to rescue a hijacked cruise ship.

"What's wrong with you..." The fake captain was at a loss.

"You are not fit to be an agent at all." Natasha shook her head and smiled, "You don't know how to hide your thoughts, and you don't know how to shake off the followers."

Natasha took the USB drive, pushed the fake captain aside, installed a program on the computer first, and then inserted the USB drive.

"There is a level 6 tracking and positioning program in the USB drive. Once we use it, the bureau will know our location."

"How much time do we have?" The fake captain began to stare outside the Internet cafe.

"About nine minutes."

Natasha started working on the computer.

"But now the bureau has stopped external activities. If we are lucky, we may not be discovered. If we are unlucky, we will face the pursuit of the joint investigation team."

"There really was something wrong with the ship we were on before!"

Natasha saw the windows that kept popping up in the USB drive and frowned: "This USB drive is protected by artificial intelligence. It is constantly rewriting the program and undoing the commands I entered."

"Can you handle it?" The fake captain, as an old-fashioned man, didn't quite understand.

"The person who developed this thing is a little smarter than me." Natasha emphasized: "Just a little!"

At the same time, SHIELD has discovered that the tracking program has been activated, but Agent Sitwell, who has not yet had time to participate in the review, quietly suppresses the matter.

After deliberately delaying for a few minutes, he reported to the joint investigation team.

He was Alexander Pierce's assistant, the bald man with glasses in the movie. In the end, the Winter Soldier grabbed him from a high-speed car and threw him off a viaduct to his death. "Tracking program?"

Anton Vanke was a technical staff member and was not responsible for internal investigations, so he stayed in the office of the joint investigation team and watched the fun.

"What kind of tracking program? What confidential material is included in the carrier?"

He also worked for S.H.I.E.L.D. for a while before.

Sitwell naturally would not hide anything from the joint investigation team and replied honestly: "A level six program, which means the confidentiality level attached to the carrier is level six."

"Interesting. They've clearly suspended external activities, but there are still people secretly stirring up trouble." Anton Vanke, who was eager to watch the fun, fanned the flames and said, "I think it's probably the remnants of Hydra!"

"Send someone to chase them."

The leader of the British team said, "We can't use SHIELD's personnel this time. Let's use our own security personnel to issue them SHIELD's credentials."

"Okay, it's our responsibility to fight Hydra!" Lin Hao said seriously.

As a member of the Spear Bureau, Shen Bing joined the team to pursue the fake captain and Natasha, but they were already one step too late.

By the time they arrived at the Internet cafe where the signal was generated, the fake captain and Natasha had already rented a used car and headed to New Jersey.

On the way, the fake captain was driving and asked Natasha in the passenger seat: "Why do you want to get involved? Bucky is my friend, so I have to go, but you don't need to."

Natasha's eyes suddenly dimmed, and she was silent for a moment before she replied, "I thought I was doing the right thing by joining SHIELD, but I didn't expect there was Hydra in it. I want to find out whether it's just a small group of spies, or whether SHIELD has already been completely eroded."

This is very important to Natasha. She destroyed the Red House not only for revenge, but also because she believed that the Red House was inhumane and was doing things that violated simple human values.

She is an impure spy who is prepared to kill but also wants to keep a bit of kindness in her heart.

When the existence of Hydra was fully exposed, Natasha began to doubt the meaning of her own existence and even became world-weary.

So at the last moment, she stopped Hawkeye and chose to jump off a cliff in exchange for the Soul Stone, perhaps to atone for her sins, or perhaps to make her life a little more meaningful.

Natasha needs to know how many of the things she has done over the years were orders from SHIELD, and how many of them were in disguised form to help Hydra.

"A spy is indeed a complicated job." The fake captain sighed: "In the past, I didn't need to distinguish between friend and foe on the battlefield, because anyone who shot at me was an enemy."

"The arrogance of the powerful."

Natasha smiled bitterly: "Only a master like you would be willing to give others the chance to fire the first shot. We are used to nipping danger in the bud."

"Yeah, so I'm really not suitable to be an agent." The fake captain sighed.

He suddenly thought of another Steve Rogers, and remembered the scene where the other party swung his sword and cut in front of him.

Although I still can't understand his choice, this straightforward life is more suitable for simple people like them.

After several hours' drive, we finally arrived at Lehigh Barracks in New Jersey in the evening.

Looking at the abandoned military camp, the fake captain was stunned for a moment, then turned to ask Natasha: "Are you sure the signal source came from here?"

Natasha glanced at her phone and nodded in affirmation: "Yes, the signal came from here."

The fake captain got out of the car holding a shield and said with emotion: "I also walked out from here."
