American comics: I am full of martial virtues and I love to be kind to others.

Chapter 112 Lynn: I have always been a Hydra!

Duke stood up, picked up the water glass and placed it in front of Lynn.

This represents Duke's attitude at the moment. He wants to know what kind of chips Lynn will offer him!
"Duke, the whole world knows how dangerous Hydra is, yet important areas such as American politics, business, and scientific research have been completely taken over by Hydra."

"Hydra wanted to divide the United States and plunge the people into war. Just when the entire United States was in danger and on the verge of collapse, you, as a hero, turned the tide, crushed Hydra's conspiracy, and saved the country."

"What do you think of the identity I arranged for you?"

Duke's eyes lit up when he heard Linn say that, but he quickly asked, "Will the public believe this? After all, if Hydra truly controlled the United States, they would definitely not split the country!"

Facing Duke's question, Lynn knew that he was deliberately asking such a "naive" question. In fact, he wanted to know what kind of support he, or the Illuminati and the Avengers, would give him if he defected to him.

So facing Duke, Lin En said, "Don't worry, after we completely eliminate Hydra led by Pierce, the Illuminati and the Avengers will endorse you in front of the media!"

"You should know the Illuminati's credibility and reputation among the people. With us standing up to support you, no one will question your 'achievements'!"

"As for whether Hydra will split the United States? Haha..."

At this point, Lin En chuckled: "Don't forget, we are still Hydra, so..."

After hearing what Linn said, Duke immediately understood what Linn meant.

He is Hydra, and his status within Hydra is extremely high. If he produces some documents that split the United States, and with Lin En's help, who dares to say that these documents are fake?
Even human traffickers like Alexander Pierce or Ophelia would only think that they had other plans and would not doubt the authenticity of this document.

"Duke, in two years, Attorney General Jeff Russell will retire. If you're willing to work for me, I guarantee that the position of Attorney General will be yours. You might even become President!"

Looking at Duke, Lin En said, "So, you'd better make a choice quickly. Do you want to be buried with Hydra, or continue to be the FBI Director and become the Attorney General or even the President in two years?"

Listening to the options Lynn offered, Duke didn't even have to consider them.

He stood up, took out a bottle of good wine from the cabinet, opened it, and poured a glass for Lin En himself: "Mr. Lin Hall, please take good care of me in the future."

Watch Duke make a choice in an instant and immediately adapt to the change of identity.

Lin En took the wine glass with a smile and said, "Don't worry about the information you have in Pierce's hands. I have taken care of everything. From now on, you will work for me privately, but in public, you will still be my immediate superior."

"I'm looking forward to the day when you become President of the United States!"

“I’m looking forward to it too.”

As they spoke, the two clinked their glasses and then smiled at each other.

So far, Steve and the others don’t know that Alexander Pierce is Hydra!
However, during this week, Steve, Tony and others have already learned that Hydra still exists!

Morning on the streets of Queens.

"FUXX, where is that mad scientist Justin Francis was talking about hiding? Even the satellites can't find him!"

Looking at the Rhino lying on the ground, Tony Stark opened his visor and said to Steve.

"I don't know, but a few Rhino-men have emerged from the sewers these past few days. I wonder if that mad scientist is hiding in the sewers?"

Steve said to Tony while asking the NYPD to chain up Rhino and take him back.

"That shouldn't be the case. After all, after obtaining the blueprints of the New York subway and sewers from the City Planning Bureau, I had Jarvis search every possible place underground where people could hide!"

"What I suspect now is that the mad scientist is being hidden by some force, like Hydra!"

Hearing Tony's words, Steve's expression turned serious. "Yeah, I didn't expect Hydra to survive into this era!"

"If FBI Director James Duke hadn't announced to the media a few days ago that he had arrested many Hydra members, I wouldn't have dared to imagine that Hydra still existed!"

At this point, Steve glanced at the shield in his hand and said, "Cut off one head, and two more will grow. This is the slogan of Hydra!"

"Who cares how many heads it grows? I'll smash every one I find!"

As the two were talking, Natasha pulled up beside them in her car: "Hey, boys, does anyone need a ride?"

"Huh? Why are you in New York?"

Looking at Natasha in the car, Tony Stark asked curiously.

"Lin En asked me to come. He said he had something to talk to me about and asked me to pick you up!"

After hearing what Natasha said, Steve nodded, then got in the car and looked at Tony: "Aren't you getting in the car?"

"Forget it, it's more convenient for me to fly back!"

As he spoke, Tony activated his armor and soared into the sky, heading straight towards the Illuminati!

Inside the Illuminati base.

When Steve and Natasha came to the balcony as instructed by Friday, Lynn was sitting on the balcony and having a video call with James Duke.

Although Duke became Lynn's subordinate in private, in front of Tony and others, the two were still in a superior-subordinate relationship.

Seeing two people coming over, Tony made a shushing gesture to them, and then motioned them to sit down!
"I've already captured most of the Hydras, but unfortunately the remaining ones on the list fled as soon as they heard their companions were captured."

"I've already issued a wanted warrant. Airports, train stations, and docks in every city are now under martial law. They can't escape the United States!"

Having said that, James Duke glanced at Tony Stark beside Lynn.

Then he praised Lin En profusely, "Luckily, we have you, Lin En, otherwise the United States would have been infiltrated by Hydra. Thank you for your hard work as an undercover agent in Hydra over the years!"

"It's not hard, Chief, it's all for this country!"

After saying that, Lynn hung up the video.

After seeing Linn hang up the video, Steve immediately asked, "Undercover? Undercover what? Linn, are you an undercover agent for Hydra? I mean, you're undercover in Hydra? And from what Duke said just now, did you provide the list of these Hydra members?"

Seeing Steve's curious expression, Lynn nodded and said, "Yes, I did provide the list of these people, and I have been undercover in Hydra."

"But to be precise, I'm not really an undercover agent. After all, Hydra forced me to join them, and I just took advantage of their trick!"

Hearing Lin En admit that he was undercover in Hydra, the three people present were stunned at first, and then Tony Stark said: "My God, I can't believe you have such an identity. Tsk, but how did you get forced to join Hydra back then?"

"Because of you!"

"I?"

When Tony Stark heard Linn say it was because of him, he was obviously stunned.

"Yes, it's because of you."

Looking at the three of them, Lin En shrugged and said, "This matter started when I rescued Tony from the Middle East. When I rescued Tony, I thought it was just an ordinary mission."

"But I didn't expect that I would be noticed by Hydra because I led people to rescue Tony."

After hearing what Linn said, Steve said, "This is normal. After all, Tony's father, Howard, is one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D. You saved Tony, so Hydra will definitely set their sights on you!"

"Yes!"

Smiling and spreading his hands, Lin En continued, "Initially, Hydra wanted to kill me, but after reading my profile, they decided to recruit me."

"To this end, they even killed the New York FBI deputy director who was recuperating in Los Angeles. When I went to Los Angeles to investigate, they came directly to me."

"They threatened me with the lives of Gwen, Uncle George, and Aunt Helen. If I didn't join them, Hydra would kill them."

At this point, Lin En shook his head: "So I can only pretend to join them."

"At first, I thought I'd catch them all when I got back to New York."

"But only after I joined them did I realize how powerful Hydra is, and discovered that they have been plotting to rule the world."

"In order to investigate their conspiracy, I have been hiding beside them and investigating secretly for many years."

As he spoke, Lin En took out a USB drive and handed it to the three of them: "It wasn't until a few days ago that I really found out that Pierce, or Hydra within S.H.I.E.L.D., has been planning a plan called [Project Insight]!"

Hearing Lin En say this, Natasha immediately took out the USB drive and plugged it into the computer.

Looking at the contents of the USB flash drive, the expressions of the three people gradually became solemn.

After seeing the entire contents of Project Insight, Tony Stark frowned and said, "Use algorithms to predict who will pose a threat to Hydra, and then use the mothership to directly kill all those who can threaten Hydra?"

"It can even predict who will pose a threat to Hydra in the future? Oh my god, how is this possible? I've never heard of such an algorithm!"

“This is Zola’s algorithm.”

Looking at Tony's shocked face, Lynn said, "I didn't copy the specific Zola algorithm, because if I did, it would activate the Zola algorithm, awakening Dr. Zola's consciousness uploaded to the computer, and then being discovered by Pierce!"

After listening to Lin En's detailed explanation of the Zola algorithm, the three of them became solemn again. "No wonder!"

"What's the wonder?"

After hearing Steve say "no wonder", Tony asked curiously.

"Nothing, I just remembered what Lynn told me. He didn't trust anyone in SHIELD except me, Natasha, and Clint!"

"Even when the Bear Country eliminated Drakov, I asked Lin the reason, but he told me that it was not the right time yet!"

Steve looked at Lynn and said, "So, the real reason is that SHIELD is full of Hydras?"

After seeing Lin En nod, Natasha also spoke up: "I once had this doubt. When Lin En and I first met, he also didn't trust me because of my identity as a S.H.I.E.L.D."

"At the time, I thought it was because SHIELD often had friction with the FBI, so he was unwilling to trust me."

Having said that, Natasha looked at Lin En and asked, "But when did you start to trust me?"

Facing Natasha's question, Lin En smiled and said, "The Hudson Hotel. You still remember that time when we entered the Hudson Hotel together and encountered the demon rushing out of the lake of fire?"

"Of course, that was my first encounter with a real demon!"

"But what you don't know is that after I met the devil, time and space around me froze, and I also met Mephisto there!"

Looking at the three people, Lin En spread his hands and said, "Mephisto wanted to make a deal with me at that time, but I rejected him. However, I also learned from him that Natasha is not a member of Hydra!"

"God, Mephisto? The devil in the lake of fire? Is everything recorded in the Bible true? Is it true that this world really exists?"

Seeing Tony's surprised expression, Natasha interrupted him and said, "We'll tell you slowly when we have time. The most important thing now is how to eliminate Hydra headed by Alexander Pierce!"

As she spoke, Natasha looked at Lin En and said, "Lin En, since you have been cooperating with James Duke for so long, and now you suddenly take action against Hydra, then there should be a way to destroy Hydra!"

In response to Natasha's question, Lynn took out a photo album and handed it to her: "These people are Hydra members hiding in New York. Ever since I was forced to join Hydra, I have been secretly investigating the situation of Hydra."

"Over the years, Director Duke and I have worked together to eliminate more than 130 Hydra members."

"Unfortunately, I can't take action against the remaining people because of their identities and the fact that they are in different cities. So I can only ask Director Duke to secretly monitor them!"

"The Hydra members that Director Duke captured, as you saw on the news, are the ones we've been secretly monitoring."

"Of course, these are just some small shrimps, and what we are going to face next is Hydra within S.H.I.E.L.D."

At this point, Lin En took out another list and said, "I don't know exactly how many Hydra members there are in S.H.I.E.L.D."

"After all, this is Pierce's secret. I once thought about joining S.H.I.E.L.D. to investigate it, but unfortunately, Pierce ordered me to stay undercover in New York."

"According to him, once Project Insight begins, I will immediately take control of New York, the largest city in the United States, and then help him kill Nick Fury."

Taking the list from Lynn, the three of them took a look at it: "Alexander Pierce, Sitwell, Crossbones Rumlow, Brian Freeman."

"Oh my god, many people on the list are the heads of various departments of S.H.I.E.L.D. Even if they are not the main leaders, they are the second-in-command of some important departments!"

"Even most of the action team and the scientific research department couldn't imagine how many Hydra members were lurking inside S.H.I.E.L.D."

Looking at the names on the list, Natasha's expression was a little grim. "I always thought I was doing the right thing by leaving the Red Room and joining S.H.I.E.L.D., but I didn't expect that I was just jumping from one quagmire into another!"

Three days later, on the rooftop of a building in Washington.

"What were the results of the investigation?"

Steve asked, looking at Natasha.

"We've almost finished our investigation. The people on the list Linn gave us do have a close relationship with Hydra. Not only that, I've also found some people who aren't on the list but have close contact with them!"

At this point, Natasha sighed, "Luckily, we have Lynn. Otherwise, we might not have discovered Hydra's conspiracy until the mothership carrying the Insight Project was launched!"

Facing Natasha's sigh, Steve nodded and said, "Yes, fortunately we still have Lynn. Otherwise, if the Insight Project is successfully implemented, the world will really fall into the hands of Hydra!"

"And according to Lin En's ability and status, once this world is controlled by Hydra, Lin En will definitely gain greater power and a higher status."

"But now, he is willing to give up these things that are within his reach. I can only say that Lin En is a man worthy of respect!"

Seeing Steve's sincere expression, Natasha shrugged. "Compared to this, don't you think it was harder for him to be undercover in Hydra? After all, he had to prevent us from discovering his identity."

"At the same time, we have to deal with Hydra and secretly investigate its conspiracy. We must know that even if there is even the slightest loophole, his identity will be discovered by us!"

"But under this double pressure, not only did he not make any mistakes, he even uncovered Hydra's conspiracy!"

“I can’t imagine how he managed to survive these past few years!”

At this point, Natasha said seriously, "This is more stressful than when I escaped from the Red House. I was being hunted by the Red House and worried about being wanted by various countries."

"After all, I could still fight back against those who were chasing me, but he had to endure this torment alone!"

As the two were talking, they saw Sam Wilson walking towards them with a gun pointed at Sitwell.

"It seems that your new friend is pretty good!"

Natasha shrugged and said as she watched Falcon Sam push Sitwell over.

After seeing Steve and Natasha, Sitwell, who had been terrified, breathed a sigh of relief and immediately asked, "Captain Rogers, Natasha, what exactly do you want to do by having me arrested?"

"Are you planning to betray S.H.I.E.L.D.? You are committing a crime!"

"Shut up!"

A heavy punch hit Sitwell's stomach. Seeing Sitwell hunched over like a shrimp, Natasha pinched his neck and said, "Tell me, how many Hydra members are hiding in S.H.I.E.L.D."

Hearing Natasha mention Hydra, Sitwell's pupils shrank suddenly, and then he looked at Natasha and said: "I don't understand what you are talking about!"

"not understand?"

Seeing that Sitwell pretended not to know, Natasha grabbed his neck and kicked him off the roof.

"what!!!"

Hearing Sitwell's terrified scream as he fell, Natasha looked at Steve and said, "The Sitwell I know isn't this tough!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tony Stark was seen flying up in his armor, carrying Sitwell who had fallen from the building.

Tossing Sitwell onto the rooftop, Tony Stark looked at Steve and said, "It still won't work. The chip that can block Project Insight lacks the algorithm support, so it can't be manufactured for the time being."

"So your idea of ​​manufacturing blocking chips in advance to prevent Hydra from implementing Project Insight again in other countries doesn't work. I think we should follow Lynn's plan and rush directly into S.H.I.E.L.D. to completely eliminate Hydra."

"Or maybe we could just destroy all of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s helicarriers. As for the Hydras in other countries and regions, we'd better destroy them as soon as we find them!"

When Sitwell heard Tony mention Lynn, his eyes suddenly froze, and the things that Lynn had buried in his brain suddenly burst out.

Sitwell then stood up, supporting his somewhat weak legs, and said, "Lynn...Lynn Hall is also a Hydra. I don't know where you learned about the Insight Project, but it's obvious that you have all been deceived by Lynn."

"He's also part of Hydra!"

Hearing what Sitwell said, Natasha and Steve looked at each other and then laughed.

"This is true. Lynn Hall is indeed Hydra. We have Lynn Hall's information in Hydra's internal files. He is indeed one of our Hydra members!"

Seeing that the two were unable to do so, Sitwell quickly explained: "After Lynn Hall rescued Tony Stark from the Middle East, he came into our sight. After we read his detailed file, we found that he was quite capable!"

"For this reason, we even killed the deputy director of the New York FBI branch who was recuperating in Los Angeles at the time, precisely because he had lured Lynn Hall to Los Angeles for the investigation."

"Once Lynn Hall is lured to Los Angeles, we will use his adoptive parents and family to threaten him into joining us!"

Hearing that what Sitwell said was exactly the same as what Lynn said, Natasha shrugged and said, "We already knew Lynn's identity a long time ago. Otherwise, how do you think we knew about Project Insight?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, Alexander Pierce is now under Lynn's control. Compared to this, I want to know the specific list of Hydra members in S.H.I.E.L.D."

As she spoke, Natasha once again grabbed Sitwell's collar and led him to the edge of the rooftop: "You'd better think carefully. After all, if I throw you down this time, there will be no one to catch you!"

"I said, I said!"

Seeing that Natasha didn't seem to be joking, Sitwell immediately started to rattle off a bunch of names.

The more they listened to the list, the uglier their expressions became.

"This is just a small part of S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters. We, Hydra, have people from S.H.I.E.L.D. all over the world. You could say that on the surface, Nick Fury is in control of S.H.I.E.L.D., but in reality, S.H.I.E.L.D. has always been under the control of Hydra!"
