Natasha stroked her chin and thought for a moment before saying, "You mean this might actually be a trick?"
Schiller sat down, tapped the table with his fingers and said, "We can infer their identities through the means they took. First of all, they definitely don't know the existence of the Earth Magic Defense Network."
Natasha suddenly realized. She said, "Yes, if those monsters are really what they appear in the video, then the Sanctuary of the Holy of Holies must know about it. Although it is called the Earth Magic Defense Network, the energy level of this network is already enough to radiate the entire solar system. If there really are monsters living in the sun, why would Stephen run to Alpha Centauri so happily?"
"Don't forget the Ancient One and Asgard. They have traveled to the solar system more than once. If there really is such a monster, even if the Ancient One didn't drag it out of the sun and chop it alive, there would be no need for Loki and Thor to hide it from us."
"After all, the Central Courtyard is also an important territory of theirs. All the so-called monsters here are actually citizens of the Nine Kingdoms and are completely under surveillance. If someone sneaks in without permission, those reckless people will not tolerate anyone riding on their heads and shitting on them."
Natasha nodded, agreeing deeply. She said, "Then there are only two possibilities. Either the status of this monster is higher than that of all beings traveling to and from the Earth system..."
"It also has to include Eternity and Death, because they have watched this place more than once. Even if Death doesn't say it, Eternity will definitely remind me. He doesn't want this monster to destroy the earth one day and I will cause trouble for him again."
"That's totally out of the question," Natasha said. "If there really is such a powerful monster in the sun, it wouldn't do anything like this once it comes out."
"Then there is only one possibility left." Schiller straightened up and leaned back in his chair. "This monster doesn't actually exist, but someone wants us to think that a monster exists, and they used a little trick to do this."
"Illusion?" Natasha frowned. She looked down at the device on her wrist and said, "But I didn't find any residual magic energy near the photovoltaic integrated device. The instrument made by SHIELD is quite reliable. If there is any, it will definitely be discovered."
"That means it's not magic." Schiller twisted his fingers gently and said, "Maybe it's because magic is developing so rapidly that it has become so common that ordinary agents can also perform tests. That's why your thoughts always revolve around this. Whenever you encounter something impossible, you turn to the almighty magic to explain it."
Natasha frowned and thought for a while. She also felt that her thinking was a bit limited. She said, "Indeed, there are some ways to achieve this effect even if it does not involve magic at all. But I don't understand. If you want to destroy the space station, just destroy the space station. Why do you have to create a monster?"
"Anyway, they have already used some means to make Oaks socially dead, and the only possible eyewitness can't say anything, so there is no need for them to keep the camera images. Wouldn't the blame be completely put on Oaks and have nothing to do with them? Wouldn't this also achieve their goal of being a hero?"
"This kind of thinking is not wrong, it's just that you have misjudged human nature."
"what?"
"greedy."
"What the fuck is this???!" Nick's roar was so loud that it hurt Coulson's eardrums. The tall black man suddenly jumped out from behind the table, and his momentum was like a tiger waiting to devour its prey.
"How could such monsters appear around the Earth?! Go and call Stephen back to me immediately. I want to ask him what Kamar-Taj and the Sanctuary of the Holy of Holies are for!!!"
Coulson sighed in his heart. Thinking of Natasha's explanation, he had to bite the bullet and said, "Boss, you have to calm down. Natasha said that this monster is unlikely to be real. Otherwise, Kamar-Taj will be the most urgent. Don't you know how extreme those wizards are?"
Nick calmed down a little and sighed. He knew that what Coulson said made sense. In terms of extreme degree, no one could compare with Ancient One and Kamar-Taj led by Strange. If they had known that there was a monster so close to the earth that could threaten the equipment near the earth at any time, they would definitely rush into the sun without stopping and pull this guy out and tear him into pieces.
And if the monster is so powerful that the mages can't find it, then Nick would be in vain if he calls people back now, so he has to think about it carefully.
The only problem is that this video is a blatant slap in the face of S.H.I.E.L.D. The responsibility of S.H.I.E.L.D. is to deal with supernatural events that ordinary people cannot handle and to prevent those monsters and demons from threatening the lives of ordinary people.
Now, not only is there a threat, but a big one too. The appearance of this monster and the disaster it caused overlap so much with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s responsibilities that Nick feels like this is a conspiracy by some people against S.H.I.E.L.D.'s director.
Of course Nick thought of Schiller first, but after thinking about it he felt that it was impossible. There was no other reason, it was just that the conspiracy was a bit too simple. So far there was only one main line. Even if you count Peter and Gwen whose situations are unknown, there are only two. Even if you count the turkey competition on Centauri, there are only three lines at most.
Although three lines cannot be said to be a small number, but if you think about it carefully, in fact, only the space station line is a little bit crisis. It is not the kind of crisis that has no solution at all. As long as Nick is ruthless, he can transport all the people on it with his own reserves. It's just that the space station may not be able to be saved.
If we could get the wizards involved and have them show their power in front of others, it would not be impossible for everyone to fly up and lift the space station down. Moreover, as long as we could pull back one of the turkeys from Centaurus, the crisis would be easily resolved.
There are too many solutions and they are a bit too simple. If Nick hadn't insisted on letting ordinary people practice crisis prevention and response, the story would have ended happily three minutes after the space station disaster.
It is unlikely that Schiller would give such a simple question. In the past, the seemingly simple routes to pass the level he set up actually only had one solution after much calculation. Moreover, this solution looked simple, but it was actually very difficult to achieve. Even if it was achieved, it might be a trap. You might even know it was a trap when you set out, but you still had to jump into it.
But Nick looked at the space station incident from left to right and couldn't see where the only solution was.
I can only say that this incident is very consistent with SHIELD itself. The description of having loopholes is not very accurate. Looking around, there are only loopholes.
But just like SHIELD, it is full of loopholes and there are no loopholes at all. Because it is full of loopholes, I don’t know where to start.
Nick and Schiller's thoughts were in sync. He felt that the mastermind behind this conspiracy should not be very high-level. If he had known about the existence of Kamar-Taj and Schiller, he would not have been able to set up such a stupid conspiracy. Even if he knew something about Nick, a semi-public figure, he would not be as unprepared as he is now.
In this case, using these extra-dimensional means to attack him seems to be a bit of an honor to him. Don't you want to play the hero game? Then let's see who is the real hero.
Nick took a deep breath, waved his hand and said, "Go to the conference room. I have something to discuss with leaders of various countries."
Coulson went to make arrangements immediately. Actually, to call for a car was all he did. Now the leaders of various countries were basically gathered in the conference hall of the United Nations, they were just arguing in batches.
After the rescue plan was finalized, the scientific researchers basically went back to their respective homes to work, leaving only a few core figures here to keep an eye on the overall situation. Now it is the politicians who are arguing, and the topic of the argument is the same old thing. Anyway, they just have to blame this incident on one country.
When Nick went in, he saw the five permanent members of the UN Security Council having just passed the buck and were working together to figure out who to put the blame on. Looking at the Indian representative who was still grinning and unaware, Nick snorted in his heart.
Howard immediately rushed over to him and said, "Thank God you're here. Let me go back to the hotel. I don't want to stay here any longer."
Nick also knew that he couldn't stand these lengthy political confrontations, and his butt must be sore from sitting for so long. But he couldn't go back yet. After all, Tony Stark was not there, and he, Howard Stark, was an important figure supporting the United States. In order to let the person who should take the blame take the blame, he had to sit for a while.
Nick searched for Zheng Xian, director of the S.H.I.E. Bureau, in the crowd, but couldn't find him after searching for a long time. He learned from Howard that a group of people from the S.H.I.E. Bureau had already gone to prepare for sea rescue. However, he still found a familiar Chinese face in the crowd.
"Xu, why are you here?" Nick found Xu Shangqi and called him over. Xu Shangqi also looked helpless. He said, "Director Zheng didn't call me when he left..."
"You fell asleep again?" Nick exposed him mercilessly, and then said: "You should change your habit of falling asleep in meetings. If Coulson was like you, I would have demoted him to level 7 by now."
"Well, boss, I'm currently level 7. After you demoted me last time, you forgot to upgrade me back to level 8..."
"Shut up, Xu, and tell me about the rescue plan in China..."
Nick is actually not interested in China's rescue plan, but he has to find someone to communicate with the Chinese side. At least he has to let Zheng Xian know that SHIELD has basically grasped the level and movements of the people who are causing trouble. Once something goes wrong, they are not completely passive, and can even be said to be taking the initiative. Therefore, they must not panic and must remain calm.
Xu Shangqi did not let Nick down. As soon as Nick left, he told Zheng Xian everything that Nick had told him. Facts proved that Nick's vigilance in preventing accidents before they happen was worthy of the title of the king of agents. The accident happened less than ten minutes after Zheng Xian received the letter.
At first, a video was uploaded on Tiktok, a very popular video app recently. The video was very short, only about thirty seconds, and the content was about the terrible monster that came from the sun and attacked Oaks.
However, the angle of this video is different from the video Natasha had seen before. The previous video was shot from a side perspective, showing half of Oaks' side body, which was more like a narrative and introductory perspective. Although the monster's posture is still amazing, there is no sense of immersion.
But this time the video is more like a first-person perspective, as if the camera was worn on Oaks, capturing the frontal angle of the monster's attack. When the monster pounced on him, even Nick, who was watching the video, was startled, which shows its oppressive power.
After watching the video, Nick seemed to have thought of something. He immediately turned to Coulson and said, "Go, call Eddie Brock over."
