Chapter 255 Dismantling S.H.I.E.L.D. (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Professor X did not defend himself against Magneto's angry rebuke; his face remained filled with remorse.

He turned to look at the student who had fainted in Scott's arms, and sighed, "I thought this would help Jean get out of her trauma."

"But unexpectedly, it caused her to develop another personality."

"Another personality?"

Everyone present was stunned for a moment.

Professor X then explained what had happened to Jean when she was young.

To put it bluntly, it's the same old story.

After experiencing various unpleasant encounters, the professor brought young Jean back to the mutant school.

But he discovered that Qin had nightmares every night.

Each nightmare unleashes an unbelievable power that can directly interfere with matter and alter the original structure of the room.

Professor X immediately knew that this little girl possessed a power far exceeding his own.

He had tried to appease and persuade him.

But none of this could make Qin relax; she was resisting that force from the bottom of her heart, she was afraid.

As time went on, Qin's condition worsened and even began to affect other students.

Therefore, Professor X had to forcibly seal that power using his mental strength.

However, no one expected that the power would actually affect Qin and give rise to another, even darker and more negative personality.

Over the years, that negative personality, unable to escape the mental prison set up by Professor X, has been confined to the deepest part of Jean's heart.

There was no perception, no emotion, only loneliness and darkness.

This negative emotion grew so strong that Professor X became aware of it.

Professor X had also considered solutions.

In his mind, Qin's problem would not erupt for a long time, but strangely, she woke up at that critical moment just now and broke free from the mental prison he had set up.

Upon hearing Professor X's explanation, Magneto gave a dismissive snort.

He disapproved of Professor X's approach.

He's seriously ill.

The two were once best friends, inseparable, but Magneto thought Professor X was too weak and too so-called kind, so they parted ways.

"But why is this happening?"

Cyclops Scott looked puzzled: "Professor, Jean didn't show any abnormalities or signs before, so how come..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone present knew what he meant next.

Professor X shook his head, equally puzzled.

That shouldn't be happening at all.

Skye and Jessica, who had been listening silently, exchanged a glance. Skye then looked at Professor X and the other X-Men and asked a crucial question.

"Professor, are you sure that according to your calculations, she shouldn't be experiencing problems right now?"

"Yes, I'm sure of it."

Professor X was very certain.

He has always shown sufficient concern for his students, especially knowing that Qin had significant hidden dangers.

Over the years, after noticing the growing negative emotions within Qin, he paid close attention and sought solutions.

A mutant who is one of the most powerful telepaths in the world.

He was also confident enough to be certain that his judgment was correct.

Professor X's certainty made everyone present even more puzzled. Logan wanted to say something, but Storm Ororo grabbed him.

Skye ignored Logan's hesitant expression.

He pressed further, "Didn't she come into contact with anyone else before coming here?"

"No, Jean has been with us the whole time," Scott replied this time.

Skye nodded at this, then looked at the timid Nightcrawler Kurt.

He said in an unquestionable voice, "You have to come with us."

"Huh? Me?" Kurt pointed to himself, looking completely bewildered.

Top-floor office of the Trident Building in Washington, D.C.

The conference room door was pushed open.

Agent Coulson from S.H.I.E.L.D. walked over.

Beside him was Melinda, an agent codenamed Iron Rider.

In the conference room, Nick Fury was sitting in a chair in front of the conference table, watching the images being projected on the screen in front of him.

Of course, not news or social media.

Instead, it was footage recorded by the agents at the scene.

Upon seeing the two arrive, Nick Fury casually picked up the remote control and pressed a button, freezing the image.

"Chief."

"Chief."

"How is it?" Nick Fury asked.

"This is not good. Alexander is very stubborn. He has a special status, and we cannot interrogate or detain him for an extended period of time without authorization."

Colson was somewhat troubled.

Alexander is a Hydra agent, but he is also the Secretary-General of the World Security Council and the Minister of Defense. These identities prevent him from doing anything too outrageous to Alexander.

Otherwise, it would be easy to be held accountable by multiple parties.

This is no small matter.

Although S.H.I.E.L.D. is a powerful organization that directly connects with the White House Oval Office, Coulson cannot act recklessly before he has the authority to do so.

Nick Fury nodded; he understood the key point.

Not to mention Coulson, he himself was having some headaches.

As the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury has extremely high levels of confidentiality, even surpassing those of the FBI and CIA.

However, they are also limited by the Presidential Office, and their authority is not much higher.

To some extent, Nick Fury didn't want to reveal that Hydra still existed and couldn't tell the president.

Not to mention the departments themselves, he had no idea how many Hydra agents were in the upper echelons of the government.

Nick Fury's mission is to wipe out all the lurking Hydra agents in one fell swoop.

However, they could not directly reveal that Hydra still existed.

Because it concerns the S.H.I.E.L.D. department.

If the news were reported to the president, and it was discovered that Hydra was lurking within S.H.I.E.L.D., there would be only one conclusion.

Whether S.H.I.E.L.D. still exists is questionable.

It will most likely be subject to review and split up.

The annual funding and resource privileges granted to S.H.I.E.L.D. are far too great.

Large agencies like the FBI and CIA will all pounce and bite hard.

Nick Fury also wants to preserve the existence of S.H.I.E.L.D.

The blockade must be completely sealed off.

The search for and capture of the lurking Hydra must be conducted in secret.

But Alexander Pierce's official position was so important that if he didn't show up for an extended period, problems were bound to arise.

The biggest headache is that Pierce is a veteran agent who has undergone rigorous counter-interrogation training.

Let alone ordinary interrogation methods, even the truth serum that S.H.I.E.L.D. has developed at this stage would not be very effective against him.

"We don't have much time left. If he doesn't show up soon, some people inside will get restless."

Nick Fury's one eye flashed with a cold light, and an idea immediately formed in his mind.

He needs to find outside help.

"Keep an eye on Pierce. We absolutely cannot let him escape. Next, we need to take him to see someone."

"Yes, Chief."

I drank too much coffee and now I have insomnia. I'll probably wake up around 11 or 12 at night. I'll get up now and update 4,000 words first, set it to 7:00, and finish it in the early morning.
