Marvel: Saint Seiya Starting with the Reality Stone.

Once again, Mike, who has awakened his inner power and mastered his five senses, is so good at playing dumb that even the most professional lie detector wouldn't be able to detect anything.

Heidi opened her mouth as Mike looked at her with a mixture of confusion, bewilderment, curiosity, and questioning in his eyes. She then adjusted her posture slightly and began to tell Mike when she had joined S.H.I.E.L.D.

She did indeed join S.H.I.E.L.D. while in college.

However, due to the secrecy of S.H.I.E.L.D., she told her family that she had joined the FBI. It wasn't just Heidi; most S.H.I.E.L.D. members used the FBI as a cover when telling their families.

As Heidi explained, Mike's eyes gradually cleared from their initial confusion and bewilderment.

after awhile.

After Heidi finished her introduction, Mike seemed to understand and nodded, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he leaned back on the sofa, head down, and remained silent.

Heidi was somewhat worried upon seeing this.

"Mike, are you alright?"

"good."

Mike looked up, meeting Heidi's concerned gaze, and forced a smile: "It just takes time to process and accept that you're not an FBI agent, but a secret agent for a global, clandestine law enforcement agency."

Speaking of it.

Mike paused, then frowned at Heidi: "So your identity as an FBI intelligence analyst is fake too?"

Heidi shook her head under Mike's watchful gaze.

"I am currently the head of the intelligence team at S.H.I.E.L.D.'s New York office."

"what!"

Mike couldn't help but chuckle as he listened to Heidi's job description.

But it wasn't because Heidi hid it from him.

It was because he suddenly thought of a question.

Given Heidi's position, will she be able to emerge unscathed from Hydra's second offensive a few months later?

After all, the position of head of the intelligence team in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s New York office sounds like a prime target for elimination after Hydra's second phase of operations.

He already knew Heidi was a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent when he met Sharon at the hospital three months ago.

But he never expected that Heidi was actually a S.H.I.E.L.D. officer.

Don't underestimate the role of a team leader; just tell me if they're a superior or not.

Mike's mind raced.

Just then.

Sharon, sitting opposite him, spoke up again, stating the purpose of their visit: "Mike, we've come here to confirm whether you went to the Arctic three months ago?"

Mike snapped out of his reverie, glancing at Heidi first before looking at Sharon, his gaze then landing on the photos on the coffee table: "Don't you have photos of me? What, can't I go to the Arctic?"

Sharon chuckled and shook her head, saying, "Of course you can go. We just want to ask when you went to the Arctic, when you left, and whether you saw or heard anything that shouldn't have happened in the Arctic during that time."

Mike didn't speak immediately. Instead, he frowned and looked at Sharon: "I went to London first, but after looking around, it seemed like nothing special. I was thinking of going back to New York City, but after going to the airport, I happened to see a tour group going to Norway. They were talking about things like the Arctic scenery, so I decided to buy a ticket to Norway on a whim."

It's true that I ran into a tour group heading to Norway at the airport.

Moreover, it's quite normal for an unemployed vagrant like him to suddenly decide to go somewhere for fun.

After all, he only went to London on a whim.

"As for whether you saw or heard anything unusual that shouldn't have happened in the Arctic while you were there?"

Mike paused, looking thoughtful, and then looked at Sharon: "I met an Inuit when I was on the Arctic ice cap, does that count?"

Upon hearing this, Sharon did not speak, but instead took out another photo from her briefcase and pushed it in front of Mike.

"This photo is classified."

"After you finish reading it, whether you remember it or not, you must not tell anyone about it."

"..."

27. The aftermath of the Arctic incident!

Sharon Carter's tone was very serious.

Mike had initially thought he was about to discover some earth-shattering secret, so he glanced at the photo handed to him.

result……

a corpse.

The body's name was Malekith.

obviously.

S.H.I.E.L.D. discovered signs of battle in the Arctic and then located Malekith.

but……

Mike's eyes widened: "Holy crap, aliens?"

Sharon watched Mike's expression and adjusted the two photos on the coffee table: "The body was found at the bottom of a pit three kilometers away from where you were photographed."

Mike was taken aback at first, then couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, looking at Sharon: "Sharon, do you know what it's like to walk a hundred meters on the Arctic ice cap?"

It's not fair to say that progress is impossible, but it's certainly extremely difficult.

of course.

Mike can run at 340 meters per second on the Arctic ice cap, in the midst of an Arctic blizzard.

But that's not important; what's important is that S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't know.

Mike didn't have any intention of pretending to be weak to take advantage of others; the reason he's saying this now is quite simple.

He failed to fulfill his obligations to S.H.I.E.L.D.

Just because Heidi is a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, he has an obligation to satisfy S.H.I.E.L.D.'s curiosity.

impossible.

If S.H.I.E.L.D. has evidence to prove he's not an ordinary person, Mike won't hide it.

But if S.H.I.E.L.D. is just speculating, then sorry, Mike is just an ordinary person.

He had no interest in playing dumb to outsmart others, but he also had no interest in showing off his abilities in front of others.

After Mike finished speaking, Sharon looked at the expression on Mike's face for a while.

Mike's facial expressions were well-controlled; at least she didn't notice anything wrong with his face.

Especially Mike's next sentence.

After complaining about how difficult the Arctic journey was, Mike asked with a puzzled look in his eyes, "So what exactly do you want to ask? Did I kill this alien? No way. And is this really an alien?"

Sharon smiled slightly upon hearing this.

"Just wanted to know what you were doing in the Arctic."

"I saw the aurora, then met Natik, and went polar bear hunting and fishing with him for a while."

Mike shrugged, speaking casually, then turned to Heidi sitting beside him: "I think I told you that when I came back."

After Sharon looked at her, Heidi nodded: "Natik is the Inuit that Mike just mentioned."

Mike then asked again, "So what exactly happened in the Arctic? What is this corpse?"

Sharon snapped out of her daze and gave Mike another slight smile.

"Sorry, this is confidential."

"machine……"

Upon hearing this, Mike's expression stiffened slightly, then he chuckled softly: "So you come here to ask me about the Arctic, but then you don't tell me what's actually happening there?"

As Sharon gathered the photos from the coffee table, she listened to Mike's rant, thought for a moment, and nodded at him.

"Yes."

"I……"

Mike opened his mouth, looked at Sharon, then turned to look at Heidi again: "Heidi, you'll tell me, won't you?"

Before Heidi could speak, Heidi, who had already gotten up from the sofa, said in a serious tone, "You're not a security officer. If Heidi tells you about the Arctic, she'll be in trouble."

Mike scoffed at this.

"Expulsion?"

"hehe."

Sharon chuckled twice and glanced at Mike: "Believe me, if it's for Heidi, you'd better not ask."

That's all.

After packing her things, Sharon chatted with Heidi, who had just gotten up, for a couple of minutes before heading out the door.

after awhile.

After seeing Sharon out, Heidi returned to the house and closed the door. She then saw Mike getting up from the sofa and heading towards the stairs.

What are you doing upstairs?

"If I can't get food, can't I at least sleep?"

"Who said there's no food to eat?"

Heidi smiled as she looked at Mike, who had stopped on the stairs and turned around, and said, "I promised to treat you to Mexican food. Let's go. My reservation was for eight o'clock anyway, so now is the perfect time."

Upon hearing this, Mike smiled as he watched Heidi dangle her car keys in her hand. He then stopped going upstairs and walked towards Heidi, who was standing at the door, after descending the stairs.

the other side.

Sharon Carter drove away from Mike's house and, after crossing the Roosevelt Island Bridge, parked her vehicle steadily in the parking lot of the Roosevelt Island operations center.

However, the operations and maintenance center is just a facade, used to conceal its true purpose; the real structure is underground.

This is S.H.I.E.L.D.'s hub headquarters in New York City, a secondary base and the second largest facility of the entire agency. Its full name is the S.H.I.E.L.D. New York Operations Command Center.

Internal code name: "Center!"
