Infinite: Starting from Infiltrating Other Spaces

The feeling was faint, but it definitely existed.

"Don't come any closer—!"

The ear-mouse screamed and backed away, its face filled with panic and despair.

As Li Xia drew ever closer, this panic and despair gradually transformed into hysteria.

"You forced me to do this!"

The ear-mouse roared, raised its hand to its chest, and trembled violently.

"You forced me to this! I've already run all the way here, why won't you let me go?"

"Lord Chuan! I'll show you just how powerful I truly am!"

'Pfft'

The mouse's expression suddenly froze, his gaze desperately fixed downwards, and he made a 'uh-uh' sound in his throat.

He couldn't utter a single word as the gleaming spear blade pierced through his chin and emerged from the top of his head.

Li Xia drew his spear directly, and before the ear rat's corpse could fall, he made a light slash with his finger across its chest, and a sharp wound gushed out with blood.

Aowu beckoned with his finger, and a translucent test tube filled with a ruby-like liquid slowly flew over.

There was a flashing light outside the test tube, and a small device outside the test tube as well.

Li Xia glanced at it and realized that it must be a mechanism that automatically breaks the test tube and lets the liquid out when subjected to a violent impact.

Blood of the Gluttonous

[Description: Containing unpurified Taotie blood, when mixed with a human body, it will cause the user to transform into a beast and gain immense power, at the cost of losing their sanity and being unable to revert to human form.]

This is probably what makes me feel threatened. However, the threat is extremely faint, so faint that it's almost negligible.

So it's not anything special.

Li Xia looked at the three little ones and nodded slightly. The three little ones immediately understood and dispersed.

In an instant, screams filled the hall; these Hydra troops had committed countless dirty deeds.

Even killing him once wouldn't be enough to atone for his sins.

Amidst the screams, Li Xia continued walking forward, pulling out his somewhat retro-looking cell phone and dialing a number.

There was almost no waiting time; the call was answered almost as soon as it rang.

"It's all been cleaned up, and the Taotie blood has been recovered. What should we do with this stuff?"

"That thing is useless, let's just find a stove and burn it."

The voice on the other end of the phone showed no hesitation:

"After numerous experiments and demonstrations, we have found that even purified Taotie blood can only give a well-trained soldier the strength of a super soldier within 10 minutes, and it is not of much value."

However, this substance is very difficult to purify, and if it is not purified, it is highly polluting, which is why we store it with great care.

Only a fool like Ear Mouse would think that things kept under strict guard must be valuable, without considering that contaminants also need to be kept under strict guard.

"Well, I see."

"Director Zheng has approved a four-month long leave for you, saying it's the time off you've accumulated over the past two years. Have a pleasant vacation!"

Beep—beep—beep

Li Xia put down her phone. She could accumulate four months of compensatory leave... What kind of beast of burden had she been before?

"Boss, it's all done."

Awoo flew over, swaying its body in mid-air.

At this moment, the entire manor was littered with corpses, and blood flowed down the ground, slowly accumulating into pools of blood of varying sizes, emitting a nauseating stench.

"But why are we making such a big fuss?"

Xiao Long was puzzled. With their strength, they could break in, kill the ear mouse, take the items, and leave in less than a few seconds.

Even if all the Hydras in the entire manor were wiped out, they could be killed in an instant; there's no need for such a delay.

The manor's main hall now resembles a battlefield, littered with corpses, shell casings, rubble, craters, and countless bullet marks—a truly horrific sight.

The fact that the two corpses were embedded in the wall suggests that something very unusual had happened here.

It could have been resolved quietly, but it left such a large trace, as if it was deliberately trying to attract attention.

Wait, are you deliberately trying to attract attention?

You guessed it?

Li Xia nodded, her tone relaxed: "Instead of us actively seeking them out, we should let others come to us, so that we can take control of the situation."

He and the three little ones traveled leisurely towards New York, which is next to New Jersey.

As expected, the briefcase carried by the Hydra leader contained a large sum of cash; it's unclear why they all preferred cash transactions.

But it's unclear whether it was an oversight on the part of the Divine Spear Bureau, or whether they simply didn't care about such a small matter, but they didn't manage to get themselves any fake documents or anything like that.

Even with a large sum of cash on hand, staying in a high-end hotel can be quite troublesome.

Fortunately, this problem was solved not long after they arrived in New York, because they were stopped by someone before they even reached New York.

Li Xia saw several black Fords pull up in front of him, their dark gun barrels pointed at him.

Furthermore, some of them were carrying extremely futuristic weapons, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Phil Coulson.

A bald, middle-aged man stepped out of the lead Ford. His gaze fell on Li Xia's face, and then he gave Aowu, Heitan, and Xiaotian a very subtle look.

Department of Homeland Security —

"You're going with you, right?"

Li Xia interrupted the spellcasting abruptly, nodded under Coulson's surprised gaze, and walked right past him.

Swish!

This action seemed to trigger a sensitive nerve among those around him; all the guns were immediately turned around and locked onto him.

With your thumb on the trigger, gradually apply force, and at a single command, you will pull the trigger and fire fiercely.

Coulson reached out and pressed down on the muzzle of the gun raised by the person next to him, frowned as he watched Li Xia get into the car, shook his head, and said in a low voice:

"Someone come here, put him in electronic shackles, and take him back to the station."

“That thing is useless to me. I’m not a criminal, and I don’t want to wear shackles.”

Li Xia's voice floated out directly from inside the car:

"Why is S.H.I.E.L.D. so slow in its work?"

Coulson's expression finally changed. He made a few gestures without making a sound, and the people around him nodded and walked towards the car.

Several vehicles lined up and drove onto the highway, forming a standard protective formation, or an encirclement formation, as they drove along the highway into the depths of the desert.

The atmosphere inside the car was eerily quiet.

Li Xia originally wanted to chat with Agent Coulson, who has a significant role in the Marvel universe, but seeing the other party's furrowed brows, she gave up on the idea.

He then leaned back in his car seat, closed his eyes to rest, and pondered his next move.

Coulson was also sizing up Li Xia through the rearview mirror.

The other party is very mysterious; even S.H.I.E.L.D.'s global database couldn't find any data about them.

He seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

It was this unusual behavior that drew the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D., with Senior Agent Coulson personally taking charge.

What was initially thought to be a difficult arrest turned out to be surprisingly cooperative, and even more unexpectedly, the suspect immediately revealed their identity.

So who are they on the other side? Hydra?

But the people they killed in that manor were also Hydra, or was it... a split within Hydra?

And so, in the silence between the two sides, each with their own thoughts, the convoy gradually approached the S.H.I.E.L.D. branch base.

Coulson turned around and handed over a hood, hesitated for a moment, then picked up three more hoods:

"As per protocol, you must wear a hood; the place we're about to visit is top secret—"

Li Xia raised her hand, stopping Aowu from trying to complain:

"no problem."

The hood was clearly disposable and still carried the unique scent of the fabric. However, the darkness brought by the hood did not pose any problem for Li Xia or the three little ones.

The black convoy eventually drove into a hidden, unmarked entrance deep in the desert. The heavy alloy explosion-proof door slowly rose, revealing a dark and deep underground passage.

The vehicle drove in smoothly, and the gate behind it slammed shut, cutting off the last ray of sunlight and wind from the outside world, completely locking the entire space into the deep underground.

The surroundings fell into dead silence instantly, with only the noise of wheels rolling over the ground.

About half a minute later, the vehicle came to a steady stop, followed by a feeling of weightlessness, indicating that the vehicle was descending at an extremely high speed.

"It's about two hundred meters deep."

In the team chat, Aowu jokingly remarked:

"Even a trained ordinary person could reconstruct the route, right?"

"According to procedure, they should have brought him over after stunning him. Perhaps I was too cooperative, so S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't really do anything."

During their conversation, the car jolted slightly. Coulson reached out and grabbed Li Xia's arm, leading him forward.

When the hood was removed again, they were in a completely enclosed room.

The room is made of pure metal, with no windows or extra gaps. The four walls, the floor, and the ceiling are all made of thick, one-piece alloy panels.

The only things in the space besides a fixed, welded metal table were the chairs they were sitting on; the three little ones could only squat on the ground.

Li Xia's gaze swept around and landed on the right wall. Although it looked like a metal wall, he could clearly feel that the wall was thinner.

Furthermore, there was still a considerable amount of energy behind the wall. After breaking through the limits of his skill, his physical perception also underwent a qualitative leap.

He could sense even the slightest breathing sounds, the crisp tapping of fingertips on a keyboard, the soft hum of the instruments, and even the wary, guarded, and scrutinizing gaze.

"Now...you can tell me your identity, and what exactly happened at the New Jersey plantation."

A hoarse, low voice came from the monitor in the corner of the room.

"Don't even think about hiding it. We have the authority to deal with the crimes you committed. There were 42 people in the manor, all of whom died violent deaths."

Such a serious crime is enough to send you to the world's most secure prison for hundreds of years!

Li Xia stood up, walked to the wall, and flicked it lightly with her finger.

"Kara"

Amidst unsettling cracking sounds, fine cracks spread rapidly, and the one-way mirror, disguised as an alloy wall, shattered with a deafening roar.

Behind them were the SHIELD inspectors, their faces filled with astonishment, and a one-eyed black man with his hands behind his back, his expression unreadable.

"Nick Fury?"

Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., glanced discreetly at the shattered bulletproof glass with his remaining eye, while his fingers, hidden behind his back, quietly twirled a few times.

His top agents immediately understood what he meant: a state of emergency—highest alert.

"I am Nick Fury, who are you?"

The experienced Nick decided to stall for time, giving the emergency team time to react.

But the next sentence shattered all his guesses and plans.

"Alright, let's find a place to have a proper talk."

Li Xia waved his hand:

“I am the deputy director of the Divine Spear Bureau. You can call me Xia.”

Nick Fury finally looked bewildered.

What kind of situation?
