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

Chapter 81? What? A civil war among heroes? The Avengers split up?

It's a real shame that after finally forming a true team, internal strife broke out so soon.

A group of Avengers were fighting fiercely at a German airport.

Although no one actually killed anyone, it's an undeniable fact that the Avengers began to split from that point onward.

[Many Avengers were even arrested by the authorities and imprisoned in a secret underwater prison, which is truly heartbreaking.]

civil war?

Split?

What's going on here?

Nick Fury's brow furrowed slightly.

He had initially thought everything was on track after seeing the spoilers in his diary that the Avengers had formed a real team after the Battle of New York.

As a result, Satan quickly launched a counterattack, giving Nick Fury a rapid turn of events.

The Avengers, who were on the right track, suddenly found themselves engulfed in civil war?

You have to understand that these Avengers are all superheroes who have mastered extraordinary powers!

Even a casual release of that power can cause enormous destruction.

The result was a chaotic fight at the German airport.

Is this some kind of free-for-all between a bunch of superhumans?

Nick Fury felt a headache coming on just thinking about it; the scene was a complete mess, a total disaster.

But what exactly is the reason?

None of the Avengers are bad people, much less extremists.

What exactly happened that prevented them from resolving the issue in a more moderate way, forcing them to resort to such extreme measures?

Although Nick Fury is unclear about the specifics of the battle, the fact that several heroes were arrested shows that it was a very serious matter.

This is also a significant weakening and loss for the Avengers.

Of course, the Avengers haven't been successfully created yet, but Nick Fury is already officially pushing for it.

Therefore, he naturally wanted to prevent the civil war from happening in advance.

So everything comes back to a very crucial question.

What sparked this civil war?

Nick Fury instinctively turned his gaze to the diary, hoping to find further answers within it.

It's just a pity.

The diary entries ended there; there were no further updates.

Nick Fury then turned his attention away and began to ponder.

What Lu Dan was pondering was not the weighty information revealed in the diary.

He was pondering what attitude he should take towards this diary.

On the one hand, Nick Fury is highly skeptical of the identity of the "time traveler who knows the future" created by Satan and does not believe it.

On the other hand, the other party did indeed accurately "predict" many things.

His own journey in founding the Avengers, his "dealings" with the Skrulls, the list of the Avengers plan, and so on.

These are things that Nick Fury cannot ignore.

The reason why a final decision has not yet been made is that Nick Fury needs more evidence and more facts to support his claim.

Anyway, Natasha is already on her way, isn't she?

Moreover, according to Coulson's intelligence, Natasha also had a very high chance of obtaining this mysterious diary, just like him.

We'll meet with Natasha later to discuss the details.

Braised eggs can determine how you should treat your diary.

Clang!

Not long after, there was a knock on the door of Ludan's office.

He glanced at the surveillance camera with his one eye and saw that the newcomer was indeed his loyal subordinate, Natasha Romanov.

Without further ado, Lu Dan let the other party in.

Diary!

It's that diary!

The moment Black Widow entered, Lu Dan was immediately struck by the diary she was holding, which was exactly the same as the one in front of him.

"A diary!"

At the same time, Black Widow reacted in exactly the same way as Nick Fury.

His gaze was immediately drawn to the diary on Lu Dan's desk.

it is true!

His own superior, indeed, also received this magical diary.

Black Widow felt a surge of excitement.

Heaven have mercy.

The feeling of knowing many secrets but being unable to tell anyone, and having to keep them to yourself is truly awful.

After such a long time, Black Widow has finally found a "companion".

"You do have this too, I don't know whether to call it weird or magical diary."

Nick Fury nodded, then a look of surprise crossed his face.

He just uttered the word "diary," and was no longer held back by that inexplicable force!

Is it because they both own diaries?

"And obviously, you can see it too!"

As those thoughts flashed through his mind, Nick Fury casually picked up his diary.

Sure enough, Black Widow's gaze followed the diary across from them.

"Yes, sir. Just as you can see the diary in my hand, I can also see the diary in your hand."

"And... I can now tell you about the existence of the diary in front of you, sir."

Black Widow strode up to Nick Fury's desk.

Then, to my surprise, I discovered that the diary, which was previously unspeakable, could suddenly be spoken of.

"OK!"

Nick Fury nodded. "In that case, let's see what the differences are between these two diaries!"

The two of them then placed the two diaries side by side and began to carefully compare and study them.

Hurala!

The office became quiet for a moment, with only the occasional sound of pages turning.

"Sir, it appears that our two diaries are exactly the same."

A moment later, Black Widow spoke seriously to Nick Fury.

Nick Fury didn't say much about it, but after the comparison he had just made, he had indeed found that to be true.

The two diaries were not much different.

Both the style of the diaries and the contents recorded on them were exactly the same.

"Natasha, you got the diary much earlier than I did. Tell me your conclusions."

Nick Fury then looked at Black Widow with his one eye and gave her this order.

"Yes, sir!"

"I obtained this diary about half a year ago. I believe you are well aware of how the diary suddenly appeared, so I will skip this part."

"I believe that's not what you want to hear from me, sir. What you really want is my opinion on the diary, right?"

"You ask for my conclusion? My conclusion is that I think it's reasonable to assume the information recorded in the diary is true."

Black Widow is very meticulous, using phrases like "I think" in her descriptions.

Because she believed that her superiors would certainly have doubts about the authenticity of the diary.

After listening to Black Widow's report, Nick Fury remained outwardly calm, but his heart stirred with emotion.

The fact that an agent of Natasha's caliber could trust her speaks volumes.

The reason why Natasha trusted him to this extent is not hard to guess; there is only one explanation.

"It seems that everything 'predicted' in the diary over the past six months has come true?"

Nick Fury made this judgment with great certainty.

"Yes, sir."

"When I got the diary, Tony Stark was still that arrogant, conceited playboy."

"Back then, the diary said that Tony Stark would be kidnapped, trapped in a cave to build Iron Man armor, and that Obadiah was the mastermind, and that Stark would shut down the weapons manufacturing department."

"You know what happened next, sir; everything came true."

"It's not just about Stark; in fact, everything recorded here, everything I know and have access to, has come true."

Have they all come true?

Nick Fury's expression began to turn very serious.

If that's the case, then his attitude towards this diary really needs to be adjusted accordingly.

While we cannot directly trust all the information mentioned above, we must still analyze it as a very important source of intelligence.

If necessary, corresponding arrangements should be made.

"If that's the case... Natasha."

Quickly putting aside those thoughts, Nick Fury asked Black Widow another question, "Do you really believe that S.H.I.E.L.D. has been infiltrated by Hydra agents? To the extent described in the diary?"

Nick Fury still considers this spoiler utterly ridiculous.

"Yes, sir. Although it is shocking and logically absurd, and although I have some doubts, if you had to choose between 'believing' and 'not believing,' I would choose to believe."

Black Widow gave this answer without much hesitation.

"This isn't like you, Natasha."

Nick Fury's voice then became somewhat meaningful.

Black Widow didn't say much, but instead took out some relevant documents and placed them in front of Nick Fury.

"The diary said that the Red House still existed, and I wondered at the time if that information was wrong."

"Although Tony's kidnapping came true, the diary can't be entirely accurate, right? Could there be errors too?"

"Because I did spend a lot of time investigating the Red House, but I couldn't find any clues."

Until two months ago.

"That's right, I found it. Although it's just some clues, it's true. The Red House still exists."

Nick Fury picked up the documents Black Widow had placed in front of him, flipped through them, and his expression became increasingly serious.

Black Widow is right.

Although the evidence wasn't conclusive, it was sufficient to prove the existence of the Red House.

"So, if the Red House, which has been declared non-existent, still exists, then why can't the Hydra, which has also been declared non-existent, still exist?"

"And logically speaking, such a possibility does exist. Sir, you haven't forgotten Project Paperclip, have you?"

Project Paperclip!

Nick Fury's heart skipped a beat.

As the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., how could he not know about this plan?

After Hydra was destroyed, not all Hydra personnel were disposed of.

Many of the scientists and researchers were directly recruited by S.H.I.E.L.D.

The most representative example is Animzola.

After that guy was recruited into S.H.I.E.L.D., he even held a high position and studied the Tesseract with Howard Stark!

Although they are researchers, which is different from special agents and spies, this is indeed a loophole and a breakthrough.

Of course.

This plan doesn't prove anything.

There is also no evidence that the existence of those scientists allowed Hydra to continue.

But now that there is such a loophole and breakthrough, who can guarantee that there aren't others?

"Although the level of infiltration recorded in the diary is somewhat absurd, I think it's because we lacked some crucial intelligence."

"As for what that crucial information is, it seems we can only wait for the diary to be updated."

Nick Fury, on the other side, remained silent for a moment, offering no comment.

What Black Widow said is certainly a possibility, and Nick Fury cannot deny it.

Moreover, considering the fact that almost everything recorded in the diary has come true.

Nick Fury could only assume that the shocking fact that "there are more Hydra agents in S.H.I.E.L.D. than the main agents" was true.

And accordingly, make the necessary deployments and arrangements.

The reason for saying "almost" is that there are some things in Japan that have not been verified, and some even contradict the facts.

For example, Obadiah Stane's premature arrest.

For example, Tony Stark's "Call Me Destroyer".

This is clearly inconsistent with the records in the diary, and even Satan expressed great doubt about it.

Nick Fury also posed this very pointed question to Black Widow.

"Sir, I have two guesses."

"First, as Zhou Cheng said, this universe may not be the 199999 universe, but a highly similar one."

Therefore, some things may deviate from their intended course.

"Secondly, Tony Stark, just like us, is also a holder of the diary."

"He learned about Stan's affairs through the diary, which is why he was able to find evidence of Stan's crimes so quickly and send him to prison."

"Considering Stark's personality, it's not too hard to understand why he wanted to play a humorous game with the owner of the diary."

Black Widow immediately offered her own reasoning.

Nick Fury neither confirmed nor denied the first inference.

Thinking about things that are impossible to verify is a waste of time and energy.

But the second inference immediately made Nick Fury sense something.

Lu Dan couldn't help but recall the time he went to find Tony Stark.

Back then, the Playboy was incredibly arrogant and cool, completely dominating Ludan from beginning to end, demonstrating a wide range of interests that even Ludan found astonishing.

But wouldn't it be more reasonable if the other person's interests all came from their diary?

After all, it is indeed a bit strange for a playboy to be interested in things like S.H.I.E.L.D., aliens, and superheroes.

Thank you to reader 08a for another generous donation! Also, in the previous chapter, Captain America's age was listed as 100 years old instead of 200 years old—a basic error, I'm so embarrassed. It has now been corrected.
