Marvel: Saint Seiya Starting with the Reality Stone.

Heidi looked up at Mike, a hint of helplessness in her expression: "You know I can't tell you this, it's confidential. If you hadn't happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, you wouldn't know my real job until now."

She didn't know what was happening in the Arctic at first. It wasn't until the day her cast was removed and the commander told her there was an emergency and she needed to go back that she learned about the situation in the Arctic.

Mike laughed and said, "I'm just curious. How about this, you tell me some things that aren't confidential, okay? That way, I can satisfy my curiosity without you violating the confidentiality agreement."

Heidi glanced at Mike speechlessly, but did not refuse.

She put down her phone, looked up, and pretended to think.

after awhile.

Heidi then turned her gaze back to Mike: "The case is closed."

Mike raised an eyebrow.

"It's settled?"

"Hmm, it's now classified as 0-8-4."

What is this?

"unknown."

Heidi explained, "You've probably heard of the first thing marked 0-8-4, which refers to an item or person of unknown origin."

Mike blinked, his eyes brimming with curiosity.

Heidi smiled slightly.

“雷神索尔的锤子，那一次的代号就是0-8-4来着，之后所有未知的东西都会被标注为0-8-4！”

"..."

29. A comet from the constellation Phoenix!

"This Arctic incident is a 0-8-4 incident."

"unknown."

"Because when the Arctic incident occurred, for some reason, the Aegis satellites encountered varying degrees of interference and did not leave any image records."

"In fact, the photo of you taken by the Aegis satellite was the only lead the Arctic Incident Task Force had."

"But you just happened to be there."

"so……"

Heidi revealed as much information as possible about the Arctic incident that was not classified.

After all, she didn't tell Mike who the body was, nor did she tell him who the action team in charge of the Arctic incident was.

Because even she didn't know about the latter.

Heidi only knew that a special operations team had taken over the Arctic incident. If this special operations team hadn't chosen to temporarily close the case, and if she hadn't been the team leader of the intelligence analysis group at the New Shield Operations Command Center, she wouldn't even know whether the case had been closed or not.

Of course.

"It's also possible that the commander deliberately told me that."

"deliberately?"

“You’re my brother, the commander definitely knows I’d care about this incident.”

Heidi said this, then shrugged, and then, as if she had thought of something, looked at Mike: "Didn't you hear or see anything strange when you were in the Arctic?"

Upon hearing this, Mike looked at Heidi and his expression once again became thoughtful.

after awhile.

His eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at Heidi: "If there's anything wrong, it's Natik's igloo."

Heidi raised an eyebrow.

"Igloo?"

"Ah."

Mike nodded: "It must have been about four days before I came back. That night, Natik and I slept in the igloo because I wanted to see the aurora. The next morning, Natik and I went hunting and then went back to town. But when we went back to the igloo the next day, we found that it had been destroyed."

Heidi's expression also seemed thoughtful.

Is there anything else?

"It's gone."

After Mike finished speaking, he nodded without hesitation: "The igloo wasn't worth much. I helped Natik pack it up and then we went back to town together. After a few days of sea fishing, I came back."

Everything he said was true.

It simply omits some insignificant events that occurred during insignificant periods of time.

"Will you report this to your commander?"

"what?"

Heidi snapped out of her daze and looked at Mike.

Mike shrugged: "Just remembered this."

Heidi thought for a moment, then shook her head.

"never mind."

"why?"

"Because telling you so many things that don't involve confidentiality is itself a violation of the confidentiality agreement."

Heidi rolled her eyes at Mike, annoyed. "You too, you were having a perfectly good trip to London, why did you suddenly decide to go to the Arctic?"

Mike looked at Heidi's glaring eyes and wisely chose to raise his hand.

"I'm sorry, it was my fault."

"It's good to know."

Seeing that Mike wasn't giving her a chance to get angry, Heidi could only glare at him again before warning, "Don't tell anyone else about our conversation, you hear me?"

Mike raised his hand and swore he wouldn't.

really.

About a week later, after Mike finished speaking with Natick again, it was confirmed that the Arctic incident was completely over.

Whether it's for S.H.I.E.L.D. or for Hydra.

S.H.I.E.L.D. found no valuable clues in the Arctic, only the mark left by Thor's Bifrost and Malekith's corpse.

They may not know Malekith, but they are familiar with Thor's rainbow bridge.

So from S.H.I.E.L.D.'s perspective, what happened in the Arctic was that Thor fought that alien in the Arctic, and after it was over, Thor took the Rainbow Bridge back, while the alien's body was left in the Arctic.

This is the most reasonable speculation.

Because Thor isn't currently on Earth.

In the original storyline, Thor stayed on Earth and lived with Jane Foster because he faced Malekith together with her.

But because of Mike's marriage, Thor never met Jane Foster from beginning to end.

Of course, Thor is not currently on Earth.

As for the image of Mike captured by the Aegis satellite, it can only be said that it was just a simple coincidence.

However, since all the current reasoning is speculation, S.H.I.E.L.D. has temporarily closed the case with the code name 0-8-4.

Perhaps S.H.I.E.L.D. will only have the chance to find out what really happened in the Arctic when Thor returns to Earth.

Of course, even if S.H.I.E.L.D. found out, Mike wouldn't care.

Just as he said before.

He acknowledges that S.H.I.E.L.D. has evidence.

He has no evidence, so why should he satisfy S.H.I.E.L.D.'s curiosity?

After the call with Natick ended, Mike put the matter out of his mind.

Because he had more important things to do than satisfy S.H.I.E.L.D.'s curiosity.

As time went by, the phoenix phantom imprinted by the ether particles in his microcosm began to take shape. Before long, the phoenix phantom would be completely imprinted.

The moment the phoenix phantom is imprinted on his microcosm will be the moment he merges with the Phoenix constellation in the real universe.

and so--

These days, besides helping his neighbors organize their tax filings, Mike spends his time searching for information about the Mojave Desert online.

Because he planned to go to this place to complete the final step.

reason?

Mike had checked the information and found that a comet from the constellation Phoenix would pass over Earth on the 5th of next month.

On that day, standing in the Mojave Desert, was the closest I ever got to this comet from the constellation Phoenix.

The focus is not on this comet that flew past Earth.

The key point is that this comet that flew past Earth came from the constellation Phoenix.

At that moment, as the comet flew past Earth, the final stroke of imprinting the phoenix's silhouette in the Mojave Desert would ensure that Phoenix received its signal.

There is another reason.

Because Michael did not obtain the constellation's recognition through the orthodox process, but instead used unorthodox methods to act first and ask for permission later, the knowledge that the second Saint Seiya gained from obtaining the constellation's recognition became completely useless.

He didn't know what would happen the moment his cosmos merged with Phoenix, or what if Phoenix didn't approve of his forceful approach.

Therefore, to avoid unnecessary trouble, and in order to truly become a Zodiac Saint, it is absolutely necessary to leave New York City on the 5th of next month to complete this final step in the Mojave Desert.

one more time.

Mike isn't afraid of trouble, but he also doesn't like to create trouble for himself.

Why make a fortune in public when you can do it quietly?
