A Magical Journey Starting at Hogwarts - Chapter 907
c907 The origin of S.H.I.E.L.D., the tree of omniscience that influenced human history
“Ah…”
Skye was at a loss for words and didn’t know what to say.
“Also, please recognize that I am your savior.
It’s best to be polite when talking to your savior.”
Skye rolled his eyes speechlessly, “What should we do now?”
“Wait for rescue.” Aaron turned over and rode on the motorcycle, then quickly changed into a set of casual clothes, “The Hydra spies inside SHIELD have been almost eliminated. You just need to hold on for a few hours and the rescue team will arrive.”
“What a good idea.” Mei said sarcastically, “There are no supplies, no equipment, no foothold, and even no direction.
We may be gone if a wave hits us, and when we floated up just now, it should be a group of sharks swimming by!”
“That’s right, we can’t be left here.” Fitz said hurriedly.
Aaron sighed, “My motorcycle can only carry two people. It will be very troublesome to bring you ashore one by one.”
“But you can take this cabin with you.” Simmons asked tentatively, “It should be okay, right?”
Aaron hesitated for a moment, took out a cable from the space ring and threw it over, “I still have to go to the Triskelion Building, and at most I can put you on the nearest shore.”
“No problem, but you have to take Skye to the headquarters.”
“Why?”
“About her parents.” Mei said seriously, “The file involves 084, and people with insufficient levels are not authorized to view it.
But now she has this opportunity, who knows if Hydra has handled the file?”
“Mei.” Skye looked at her gratefully and admitted that she was moved.
“Don’t be so quick to thank me. This is just an attempt. Fury may not agree.”
“It’s better than not even having a chance to try.”
“The rope is tied.” Fitz and Simmons said, “But you’d better drive slowly and close to the sea surface. In this way, even if we fall, we won’t be seriously injured.”
Aaron laughed and tied the other end of the rope to the tail of the motorcycle, dragging the cabin to fly low in the direction of the compass.
Fortunately, the load capacity was specially increased when the motorcycle was modified, otherwise it might not be able to be dragged.
……
S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, Triskelion Building.
The gunshots and explosions outside gradually calmed down, and Nick Fury and others in the top-floor office didn’t care at all, but focused on the projection screen.
As the progress bar finished loading, the slowly rotating S.H.I.E.L.D. badge appeared in the center of the screen.
Pictures were ejected one after another, and various secrets outside of human society covered the entire screen in the blink of an eye.
The four directors stared at the screen in a daze. Each picture seemed to describe something that was difficult to explain with common sense, constantly impacting and even subverting their worldview.
Especially some of the pictures that could be called natural disasters, which made them think of the invasion of the Chitauri, or even more serious than that.
“This… Ms. Peggy, is this true or false?” The female director asked in disbelief.
“Do you think the confidential information set by another A-level member of mine is false?”
“Can you explain it briefly?”
“Yes.” Peggy touched the screen lightly, and a picture was enlarged and played slowly.
In the picture, a middle-aged man stood on the beach and raised his left hand to the sky, and with his action, countless missiles fired at him all stopped in mid-air.
“Eric Lanshere, nicknamed Magneto, is a racist who believes that mutants should be higher than humans.
He can control magnetic fields and all metals. In other words, he can control any bullets, shells, missiles and even nuclear bombs fired at him.
And he has also recruited a group of like-minded mutants. Once the mutants and humans start a war, he can definitely raise an army with superpowers in a short time.
I would like to ask everyone, is the ‘nuclear peace’ that you are so proud of really useful to him?”
“I only know that he can control bullets, but I didn’t expect it to be so exaggerated.” The younger director said in a deep voice.
“Magneto rarely takes large-scale actions, so you don’t know much about him.” Peggy said, and then changed the subject, “Fortunately, Eric’s old friend Charles Xavier has different ideas from him.
Charles believes that humans and mutants can coexist peacefully, and even opened a mutant school to provide shelter for mutants.
Charles’ telepathic ability can control or even kill thousands of people in an instant. Out of fear of him, Eric will not make any big moves for a while.
And among humans, it is SHIELD that is responsible for negotiating with Charles. It is not an exaggeration to say that SHIELD maintains the fragile balance between humans and mutants.”
Nick Fury unconsciously straightened his chest, and so did Coulson.
SHIELD agents have been protecting the world, but not many people know about it, but today Ms. Peggy has vindicated them.
“These things are the military…”
“The military.” Before the female director finished speaking, she was interrupted by Peggy with disdain, “If SHIELD handles it, at least it can maintain the balance, but the military will only completely ignite the conflict.
Those generals are crazy about super soldiers. Many mutants have been captured by them for experiments. Do you know how much mess they left behind?
There are also some who are more outrageous and want to engage in genocide and completely eliminate mutants, but they have never thought that mutants are also normal humans before their ability genes are awakened. ”
The female director’s face turned blue and purple, and then Maynard tried to smooth things over, “We know the mutants well, but what about the others?”
Peggy switched to the next picture, which showed a group of blue-skinned aliens descending from the sky in a spaceship. Their weapons and individual combat capabilities far exceeded those of humans.
“What is this? An alien?”
“The Kree, they destroyed the planet of the advanced civilization Skrulls, and came to Earth to hunt down the Skrull remnants who hid here.” Peggy explained in an intriguing tone, “At that time, Nick, the agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Fury was involved in this matter. I don’t know how he solved it, and he refused to tell me. He only said that he had a secret weapon that drove away the Kree fleet. ”
After the words fell, everyone’s eyes fell on Nick Fury.
Nick Fury didn’t take it seriously and said confidently: “The secret weapon naturally has to wait until the critical moment to come out!”
“Don’t ask any more questions. This is Fury’s private matter and has nothing to do with S.H.I.E.L.D., and who doesn’t have some secrets?” Paige said and switched to the next picture very naturally.
This picture shows a circular altar, but the scene around the altar is very scary. The densely packed corpses form a strange giant pattern. The red blood floats out from the corpses, dispersing the clouds in the sky and turning the moon away. dyed red.
The throats of the four directors shook unconsciously, “What is this?”
“The vampires are the vampire sacrifices.
S.H.I.E.L.D. destroyed many of these altars, but it’s not certain if there are more. “Peggy pressed the screen with a heavy face, “Xenomorphs, monsters, etc. are considered normal, but this is the most outrageous. ”
The scene switched again, and a skeleton wearing leather clothes and covered in flames appeared in their sight.
“Although I don’t want to believe it, SHIELD’s investigation can confirm that this is the work of the devil.”
“This is a bit too much of a joke, Ms. Paige.
If there is a devil, then God…”
“Of course God also exists, but he has left this world.” Peggy said solemnly, “You also know Thor and Asgard, so you should be able to understand that myths are not just legends.
Fortunately, the power of the devil will not come to reality easily, otherwise it would not be able to cultivate agents. ”
The four directors looked at each other. They did not think that Ms. Paige would deceive them, but this kind of thing was really unbelievable.
Forget about the devil, it’s not an exaggeration to say that everyone screams and beats him, but God…
Fortunately, the old man is not here, otherwise those in power would still be having fun! Many of their fathers are believers in God.
“Ms. Paige, it’s not that I want to doubt you, but if these are true, then…why don’t we know?” the white-haired director asked.
“I also want to ask the same question.” The female director said, “Although we hold high positions, our understanding of the world is not as good as that of intelligence organizations like SHIELD.
But it’s not like we only know a little bit, or even know nothing at all! This is outrageous. ”
Paige nodded noncommittally, and then entered a string of passwords into the computer with her dry hands.
All the pictures on the projection screen disappeared, the SHIELD logo also disappeared, and then countless data filled the screen.
A few seconds later, a ten-meter-high tree shining with fantasy colors appeared on the screen. Each of its leaves exuded a warm luster. Just looking at it made people feel close to the truth. .
If Aaron were here, he would definitely recognize that this tree is very similar to the one in their family secret room, which is the relationship between ancestors and descendants.
“Thousands of years ago, a group of ancient people discovered this tree that exuded light in Egypt.
They didn’t know how the tree survived in the desert, but that didn’t stop them from seeing it as a miracle and a gift from the gods.
There is a stone tablet standing next to this tree. No one knows the runes on it, but everyone who sees it can understand its meaning. “Peggy looked at the four directors seriously, “The translated meaning is: I am leaving. I don’t know how much impact I have done on mankind in the future, but I still did it for the sake of the present. Man can be free and escape his so-called destiny.
This tree is my family symbol and the last gift I leave to the humans in this world. I hope that humans in the future can live easier.
In addition, my descendant will come to this world on the eve of the future storm. He is more talented than me and can change the fate of many people.
If you can, try to keep him for a while, but it’s best not to bore him or think badly of him.
This is advice and advice. ”
“Actually, S.H.I.E.L.D. was established after the tree was discovered, and its responsibility is to protect humans and prevent major threats.
Members of the past generations include great figures such as Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo, and Newton. It was not until the explosive development of human technology in the twentieth century that it evolved into the current S.H.I.E.L.D. ”
“It’s really a story full of fantasy.” The female director said with some doubt.
“I had the same idea as you at first, madam.” Nick Fury smiled self-deprecatingly, “But after a long period of research, we determined the efficacy of this tree.
Researchers call this tree the Tree of Omniscientity because the energy it releases can subtly fade human memories, except for those involved.
To put it bluntly, what most people don’t believe will gradually be forgotten by the few who are willing to believe it.
This is the main reason why what you just saw did not affect ordinary human life. This tree of omniscience has been affecting human history. ”
“Does this tree, no, the tree of omniscience, really exist?”
“It exists, but unfortunately we can’t tell you its location.
Once something happens to the Tree of Omniscient, the peace that we have worked so hard to maintain will be shattered in an instant, and the order will become chaotic. ”
The four directors looked at each other, speechless.
“This is the evidence you want.” Peggy said weakly and coughed twice. “Originally, the fewer people who know these things, the better, but now that SHIELD has such a big mess, on behalf of SHIELD and the Security Council Alexander Pierce who came into contact was even a Hydra undercover agent.
If these things are not explained clearly while I am alive, SHIELD may be in ruins after today. As for the consequences… you also know it. ”
Hearing this, the council members fell into a brief silence, and their mood became extremely complicated.
They have opinions about Nick Fury and even the entire S.H.I.E.L.D., which has the highest funding, the best technology, and elite personnel in all aspects.
But such a world-ranked military intelligence organization refuses to obey orders at critical moments. Even if their Security Council is the financial backer, Nick Fury will not give them too much face and repeatedly jumps over their bottom line. .
But now that the secrets of S.H.I.E.L.D. are known, Nick Fury, a black man with a black heart, seems to have been completely whitewashed, and everything he has done has been explained, but the Security Council has failed to provide sufficient financial support. It seems a little unreasonable.
“Ms. Paige, we completely understand what you mean.” The younger director forced out a smile and said, “The board of directors can provide higher support to SHIELD.”
“But we need to have a certain right to know.” The female director immediately added, and then looked at Nick Fury seriously, “At least you have to let us know where you spend the funds!”
“Madam, you are putting yourself in a bit of a dilemma. I’m afraid I can’t agree.” Nick Fury said a little aggrieved.
If consumption is transparent, how can he still be corrupt?
Although his corruption was also for SHIELD, otherwise where would there be so many secret bases?
“About the head office! Get us a percentage receipt for what we just saw.”
“That’s no problem.” Nick Fury also realized that the council wanted a step, and immediately changed his face and agreed.
It’s just a simple data sheet. Any accountant can make it beautifully, and it’s not up to him to decide how true it is.
