A person is writing a diary in an American comic book, and Iron Man collapses at the beginning.

Chapter 76 The New Diary Holder: Nick Fury

Zhou Cheng was naturally unaware that Nick Fury had "invaded" Tony Stark's mansion.

Although he knew this plot from the movie.

But no matter what, it's impossible to guess when this happened, right?

After all, this scene is just an Easter egg in the movie "Iron Man".

Many people don't even know that.

He himself was also targeted by Nick Fury, and was even listed by Nick Fury as a candidate for the Avengers.

Zhou Cheng had even less chance of knowing.

Lately, aside from regretting his past mistakes, he has been keeping an eye on major events and characters within the Marvel universe.

This will help determine the extent of the deviation between the trajectory of this world and the 199999 universe.

This is very important to Zhou Cheng, as it directly relates to whether his precognitive abilities can still be used.

If the deviation is small, everything is fine. But if the deviation is really too big, Zhou Cheng really has to think carefully about what to do.

Fortunately, apart from Obadiah's early capture and Tony Stark's declaration that he had become the Destroyer, nothing else changed much.

Just yesterday, the Stark Industries also released an official statement announcing the restart of the Stark Industries Expo.

This aligns with the trajectory Zhou Cheng had in mind.

The opening ceremony of the Stark Industries Expo, isn't that the opening scene of the second Iron Man movie?

According to the plot.

After the Stark Industries Expo began, classic scenes such as "The Hearing," "The Racetrack Battle with Whiplash," "The Palladium Poisoning Death Crisis," and "The Iron Man Armor Mass Battle" took place.

I wonder if it will all play out as I remember?

These questions await Zhou Cheng's verification one by one.

However, before that, Zhou Cheng was caught off guard by something else.

Squeak!

As usual, Zhou Cheng returned home without a care in the world after having eaten at a restaurant.

But as soon as he opened the door, before he had even walked through the entryway, he couldn't help but freeze for a moment.

What's going on?

There's actually an extra person in my house?

Zhou Cheng, who had only changed his slippers halfway, immediately looked up.

I looked toward the arrogant figure sitting on my sofa.

I almost blurted out "Holy shit!"

Nick Fury, the master of braised eggs!

What the hell!

Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., actually showed up at his own home?

What kind of crazy plot twist is this?

Given Nick Fury's special status, the fact that he personally came to our door could not possibly be a trivial matter!

Zhou Cheng immediately became alert.

At the same time, my brain started working quickly, trying to sort out a line of thought, and soon came up with a reasonable guess.

Could it be because I displayed extraordinary power?

This was the only reasonable possibility Zhou Cheng could think of.

However, if that was the case, Zhou Cheng felt a little more at ease.

Black braised eggs are already quite polite, since they came uninvited.

That shouldn't be such a terrible outcome.

"Who are you?"

"Why are you in my house?"

Quickly banishing those thoughts, Zhou Cheng deliberately adopted a wary and indifferent tone, staring at the braised egg and demanding an answer in a deep voice.

On the surface, he was an unemployed man who had been fired from his job, and even seemed hopeless in the eyes of his neighbors.

"Because you haven't worked for more than half a year, and you're doing nothing every day."

"But who would have thought that such an unassuming fellow would possess another astonishing identity?"

Nick Fury spoke these words in a profound and enigmatic tone as he stood up from Zhou Cheng's sofa.

His braised egg-shaped head reflected light under the slanted illumination, giving him a Saitama-like appearance.

Hearing Nick Fury's boastful act in front of him, Zhou Cheng became even more certain of what was going on.

It seems my guess was right; Lu Dan did indeed come for my extraordinary identity.

The implication couldn't be clearer.

"A truly surprising identity"—that undoubtedly refers to Satan's identity.

Zhou Cheng was only surprised when he first saw Nick Fury, but now he was used to it.

No matter what, that's S.H.I.E.L.D.!

They're not just freeloaders.

However, despite having a clear idea in his mind, Zhou Cheng still didn't directly admit it.

He simply stared sharply at the black-clad man: "Just say what you have to say, don't waste each other's time."

"You don't really think that just because you're wearing a mask and flying around in the sky, nobody will know who you are, do you?"

"Mr. Satan?"

Nick Fury indeed stopped beating around the bush and directly exposed Zhou Cheng's identity.

"Now that you know who I am, you still dare to barge in front of me?"

Zhou Cheng deliberately gave Nick Fury a cold smile.

You know what, it really made Nick Fury on the other side feel a sense of sharpness.

An indescribable sense of oppression.

After all, Zhou Cheng is no ordinary person now. With his many skills and abilities, he is already very strong at this stage.

"Yes, that's right, I know you're Satan, but I did it anyway."

"Because I know you far more, and more deeply, than you think."

"You're not the type to easily take action against others, so even if I expose you, you won't do anything to me."

"You're not a bad person."

"And that is why I came before you."

Nick Fury spoke confidently and eloquently to Zhou Cheng.

This made Zhou Cheng chuckle to himself.

Does the braised egg think it has seen through itself?

Little did he know, he was the one who had been seen through!

However, Zhou Cheng did not intend to expose Lu Dan's blunder. He simply remained silent for a moment, as if the other party had hit the nail on the head.

Then he continued, "You still haven't told me who you are, and why you've come."

"Mr. Satan, I am Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D."

Having laid the groundwork, Nick Fury stopped keeping him in suspense and revealed the purpose of his visit: "I've come to talk to you about the Avengers."

Zhou Cheng: "..."

Black Lu Egg actually wants to join the Avengers himself?

Even though he had already guessed it, Zhou Cheng was still somewhat surprised to hear the answer directly from Lu Dan.

After all, the Avengers are an extremely important group in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

All the major events and the course of the story revolve around the Avengers.

To put it bluntly, Marvel's story is the story of the Avengers!

The Avengers are the absolute protagonists of the Marvel Universe!

But a key issue is that not everyone wants to be the protagonist.

Especially Zhou Cheng, who is a time traveler.

Knowing the Marvel series plot, having the advantage of foresight, and having a cheat code.

He must be out of his mind to become an Avenger.

Zhou Cheng made his decision almost without hesitation.

No braised eggs!

Of course.

Although he already had a plan in mind, in order not to give himself away, Zhou Cheng still followed up with another question, "S.H.I.E.L.D.? What kind of organization is that? And what is the Avengers?"

Simply put, S.H.I.E.L.D. is an agency employed by the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council to handle extraordinary events that ordinary agencies cannot handle.

"And the Avengers I plan to establish is a special operations team specifically designed to handle these kinds of extraordinary crises..."

Nick Fury then proceeded to explain the relevant issues to Zhou Cheng in detail.

He also brought out the same trick he used to fool Tony Stark.

What? Satan has become part of a larger universe. This world is not what ordinary people see it to be. There are many extraordinary crises, extraordinary people, and so on.

In short, he rambled on and on, but for the average person, it was actually quite convincing.

Unfortunately, for Zhou Cheng, a time traveler, his state of mind remained completely unaffected.

"Thank you for thinking so highly of me, but I refuse."

Zhou Cheng gave a very clear answer: "I am a mercenary. I don't do things without profit. Every action I take requires money."

"If S.H.I.E.L.D. wants to hire me to handle anything, I can certainly consider it."

"But joining the Avengers or something, let's forget about it."

"Mr. Satan, I don't need your answer right now. You can take your time to think about it."

Seeing Zhou Cheng's resolute attitude, Nick Fury did not press the matter further.

After saying that to Zhou Cheng, he strode away with an arrogant and leisurely air.

It was as if this wasn't Zhou Cheng's home, but rather the home of the legendary braised egg swordsman.

"Damn it, we've been targeted by braised egg vendors!"

After Lu Dan's figure completely disappeared from the living room, Zhou Cheng plopped down on the sofa, frowning in exasperation.

The next thing is obvious.

Even if he explicitly refuses to be an avenger, his life will probably never be peaceful again.

They'll probably be under S.H.I.E.L.D. surveillance all the time, right?

This kind of thing is just infuriating to think about.

But how should I put it?

In a world like Marvel, unless you're just an ordinary person, there's nothing special about you.

Otherwise, they would definitely not be able to hide it from S.H.I.E.L.D.'s eyes.

As for Zhou Cheng, who has so many cheat codes, it's impossible for him to choose to live a life of hiding away just because S.H.I.E.L.D. is paying attention to him, right?

How frustrating must that be?

This is obviously impossible.

So when I think about it this way, it seems like it's really unavoidable that I'm being targeted by S.H.I.E.L.D.

"That's enough!"

Zhou Cheng shook his head and quickly came to terms with it.

So what if we're being targeted? We can just pretend S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't exist.

Anyway, I never intended to be some kind of world-destroying villain.

Aside from keeping an eye on you, S.H.I.E.L.D. won't do anything else concrete.

Just ignore it!

As for Nick Fury's suggestion to become an Avenger, there's no doubt that Zhou Cheng would never agree to it.

There is no doubt that this stance remains unwavering.

However, it is also an undeniable fact that he has a lot of complaints he wants to vomit.

Zhou Cheng subconsciously pulled out his diary again.

He poured out all the pent-up frustrations he had been holding in his throat onto his diary.

……

"Sir, how did things go?"

I went downstairs and got into the car.

As Agent Hill fastened his seatbelt, he casually asked Nick Fury a question.

"Everything is under control."

Nick Fury, with a single, unwavering gaze, uttered these words in an incredibly profound tone.

It's not really braised eggs showing off.

Before actually engaging in negotiations with that Satan, Lu Dan certainly wasn't certain he would succeed, was he?

"So what's next?"

Hill didn't ask any further questions about his boss's pretentious answer; he simply started the car quickly.

"Back to headquarters."

"knew!"

Chu Chu Chu!

The black "secret agent vehicle" started moving immediately.

They quickly disappeared into the bustling traffic.

After returning to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters and seeing Agent Hill off, Nick Fury went straight to his office.

Only then did Nick Fury rub his temples.

What a bad start!

Both the highly individualistic Tony Stark and the outspoken mercenary Satan have given us a very pessimistic response.

Bruce Banner, who hides abroad to practice yoga, is also a headache.

When the other party isn't angry, they're basically useless and can't help much, but when they get angry, they might make things worse!

It seems this plan needs to be carefully considered.

Ok?

What's going on?

As Nick Fury was sorting through these things in his mind, he suddenly froze for a moment.

His gaze was immediately drawn to a black diary placed on his desk.

Where did this diary come from?

Nick Fury clearly remembered that there was no such thing on his desk.

Considering this was the office of Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., he didn't think it was one of his subordinates who had accidentally left it on his desk.

After all, no one else could get into this office except him!

Surely it's not like someone secretly broke in while Nick Fury was away and stole this diary onto his desk, right?

Obviously, this is simply impossible.

So, where did this diary come from?

After a moment's thought, Nick Fury still couldn't figure it out.

So, without wasting any more brain cells, he started pulling up the surveillance footage.

I plan to investigate further to find out exactly what happened.

However, to the surprise of the braised eggs...

He carefully reviewed the surveillance footage from when he left until now, and everything seemed normal!

No one has ever come in.

Moreover, the surveillance footage was normal, with no signs of tampering.

So here's the problem.

The surveillance footage showed that no one had ever entered his office. Did the diary grow wings and fly in on its own?

Wait!

Before he could figure out what was going on, Nick Fury discovered another, even more suspicious place.

The diary was not shown at all in the surveillance footage!

The surveillance footage showed that his desk was completely empty, with nothing on it!
