Chapter 367: New and Good (Part 2)

Dealing with Hydra from the top is indeed effective, but similarly, if you choose the hard mode to start, you must be prepared for the enemy to be very difficult to deal with.

This group of smugglers are not in vain. Their vigilance is extremely high. If there is any sign of trouble, the entire channel will immediately become silent, and people and evidence will disappear together.

What's more, before disappearing, he did not forget to give Stark a little stumbling block. In the past few days, the shares of Stark Group have fallen a lot. Pepper is under great pressure, and Stark's own public opinion has become Worse still, Obadiah has to wipe his ass.

Although the technology is very advanced, the enemy level is higher. If they fight head-on, Stark can still deal with them, but these people do not confront Stark at all, and immediately flee when they hear the slightest movement.

As a result, Stark fell into the dilemma of catching mice. If he wanted to catch the mice, he would have to dig out the mouse nests himself, but wouldn't that just fall into Steve's routine again?

In short, whether it is to destroy the stronghold from the bottom or target the leader from the top, both methods have their own flaws. Stark is also aware of this. As Banner said before, I am afraid that only by joining forces can we fundamentally solve the problem. these questions.

Therefore, although Stark reluctantly put on a bad face in the end, he and Steve still sat down at a table. With the mediation of Peter and Matt, the two of them were finally able to calm down. Sit down and talk.

In fact, in the original comics, Iron Man and Captain America had a honeymoon period, which showed that the two of them got along very well in some aspects. Therefore, during this conversation, both of them felt a little awkward.

They instinctively didn't want to follow each other's words, but their thoughts followed each other's direction uncontrollably. The more the two chatted, the smoother they became, and their thoughts became more and more unified. Then at a certain point in time, they suddenly reacted and were stunned.

Peter didn't understand what they were doing, but Matt sighed and shook his head.

Finally, Stark pinched his nose and said: "Okay, if it is to deal with Hydra, I can temporarily cooperate with you, but on strategic issues, you must listen to me..."

Steve also nodded and said: "I will not interfere with your judgment, but I also have my own ideas. If we don't agree, then vote..."

In the end, both of them accepted this statement, but Steve was a little strange. He asked: "You didn't ask us to join your Alliance of Light, but you planned to join the Avengers? This doesn't look like you. Stark."

Stark showed a speechless expression and said, "Join the Alliance of Radiance? You really don't have a correct understanding of your own moral level..."

"On the contrary, I am the most confident in my own moral level. Don't you know the origin of Captain America? Bad people are worse, and good people are better."

"That's exactly what I'm talking about. I am a moral model in the Alliance of Radiance and have raised the overall average level. Without me and Charles, their moral bottom line would have been raised."

"Speaking of this, I was just going to ask, what do you think of the mysterious man codenamed 'Doctor'?"

"What do you think? He's just a hidden Hydra agent... Wait, what do you mean by asking? You are suspicious of one of us..."

Seeing that Stark was about to retort, Steve spoke first: "But this is not unfounded. All our actions are confidential, and the locations we raided are absolutely impossible to be known to others, but every time we enter a Everyone at the base evacuated, and they just left, don’t you think it’s strange?”

"That means there is a traitor among you. What does it have to do with the people of the Radiance Alliance? We don't know your plan either."

"But you have Professor Charles Xaviers among you."

Stark said helplessly: "If Professor Charles were Hydra, who do you think would be alive now?"

"But we don't rule out the possibility that Professor

Just when Stark was about to explain the facts to him, he heard Jarvis say: "Warning! Abnormal movement has been detected on the spacecraft parked at the edge of the solar system!"

"Spaceship? What's going on?"

"The monitoring equipment discovered abnormal life fluctuations near spacecraft No. 19. The energy readings detected were too high! Didi! The monitoring equipment was affected by a mysterious force and has stopped working."

"Someone is trying to steal the spaceship?" Steve asked, "Who is it? They also destroyed your monitoring equipment. Are they trying to steal the spaceship?"

Stark stretched out a hand and made a calming gesture. He asked Jarvis: "Can you detect what energy destroyed the surveillance equipment?"

"It's unclear and cannot be analyzed, but it is speculated to be magical energy."

"Magic..." Stark muttered, and he said: "Strange???"

After saying that, he instinctively looked at Steve, and they both said in unison: "Doctor!"

A few minutes later, in Arkham Sanitarium, Schiller looked at Strange across from him with a serious face and said to him: "You're in trouble."

Strange's eyes widened and he said: "Impossible, I turned on the invisibility magic the whole time, and I also used my stance to cover the spaceship..."

"But Peter just called me and said that Jarvis raised the alarm. It should be your magical energy that affected the monitoring equipment that Stark left around the spacecraft."

"Damn, I even bypassed those monitors. Maybe it was the monitor on the right side of the deck that alerted me. I didn't pay attention when I walked over..."

Strange said helplessly: "What should I do? Stark will definitely cause trouble for me, and maybe he will also take back the previous spaceship for an excuse, that stingy guy..."

"Haven't you already become the Supreme Mage? Then go back to Karma Taj to retreat for a while. Is it possible that he can still chase Karma Taj? As long as he can't find you, he can't take back the spaceship justifiably. ”

"That's right. It just so happens that Loki is left with the work in the Holy of Holies. I can still take a few days off. I've long wanted to go on vacation..."

After saying that, Strange left as if being chased by a dog. Obviously, he was still afraid that Stark would cause trouble for him. After all, he was the one who was in the wrong.

So, during the next Radiant Alliance meeting, looking at the seat vacated by Strange, Stark narrowed his eyes suspiciously and asked, "Where is Stephen?"

"He went back to Karma Taj to retreat. He must have been practicing magic recently and gained something occasionally." Schiller repeated Strange's original words to Stark, and Stark snorted. : "A magic apprentice, how dare you say that you have some income?"

After the meeting, several members of the Avengers gathered together again, now joined by Stark, sitting opposite Steve, and he said: "But I still don't believe Strange is Hydra. You know, he is the Supreme Mage. Do you think there is any reason why these two identities are connected? "

"Hydra is like this. You may not know them well enough." Steve sighed and said, "They will disguise themselves as all kinds of people, ranging from politicians and congressmen to drivers and vendors. You will never Know which one of them is Hydra in disguise."

"Furthermore, according to my experience, highly educated people are the hardest-hit areas of Hydra. Where do you think so many of Hydra's researchers come from?"

"The Supreme Mage is a Hydra?" Peter said in disbelief: "This is too ridiculous. It's almost like saying, Captain, you are a Hydra..."

Steve was not in a joking mood. He said calmly: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. I mean, the possibility that I am Hydra cannot be ruled out. If one day you find out, there are various signs that this kind of thing is true." If it appears, you must launch an investigation and never let down your guard.”

Peter's facial features wrinkled together. The fact that Captain America was Hydra made him feel a little tongue-tied even if he said it.

Steve said seriously: "What I said is true. In addition to cultivating agents and spies, Hydra is also good at replicating technology. Everyone present has the possibility of being replaced. Perhaps, the real Supreme Mage is not Hydra, but none of us can guarantee whether the person we saw is the real Supreme Mage."

Seeing Stark's slightly changed expression, Steve continued: "This is their plan to make humans distrust each other and eventually cause war."

"Of course, we can't pin unwarranted charges on one person. Everything still needs to be investigated." Steve changed the subject and said: "At least, now I can accept the investigation with a clear conscience. Since it was me who proposed it, Yes, I am willing to accept the investigation together with Doctor Strange. If there is no problem, it is better. If there is a problem, at least we can ensure that the mages are not affected by evil. "

"Um...did you overlook a problem?" Peter scratched his head and said, "It seems that there is more than one doctor around us, Dr. Stephen. Isn't Dr. Schiller also a psychiatrist?"

Stark and Steve looked at each other, and Steve reached out and patted Peter on the shoulder and said, "I don't remember if I mentioned to you the biggest characteristics of Hydra members..."

"What is that?" Peter asked a little confused.

"diligent."

Stark also turned to Peter and said: "You can't expect someone who goes to bed at 9 o'clock in the evening to join Hydra. He will be screened out in the first round of interviews."

Steve's voice drew Peter back again, and he said: "Think about the agents you met in SHIELD, do you think this job can be completed by a person who has a regular schedule and goes to bed early and gets up early? "

Peter opened his mouth and said, "It seems true..."

"Peter, agents and spies, even high-level leaders, need to work day and night, work hard, and spend a lot of effort to build their intelligence network and stronghold. Anyone who does not work hard cannot become a lurker. This Work is much busier than you think..."

"More importantly, they must keep in touch with multiple forces at all times. Once their channel goes silent, they will be as leaderless as they are now."

Peter thought back to the days when he lived in Schiller's original psychology clinic, and he said: "If you put it that way, Dr. Schiller should be the most unlikely person here. His life is too regular."

"And he doesn't like answering the phone. He gets angry if he takes more than three calls a day, including takeaway calls."

"He also hates going to bed late, and he hates being woken up even more. If he finds out that I haven't gone to bed before ten o'clock, I will be in trouble."

"Besides, he really hates people who only half-talk." Peter thought for a moment and added: "...and rats."
