At the headquarters of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Tricurve Wing, Pierce is pretending to reason with the elders of the council.

Gideon Malik resigns over the previous nuclear bombing of New York.

The vacant seat was replaced by Nick Fury with Pierce.

I don't know how he is feeling now.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury was brutally murdered, and any normal person would consider him a martyr, not a traitor."

The actor Pierce was expressionless, his eyes behind his glasses were full of anger, and he paced subconsciously.

The other council members who participated in the meeting with holograms immediately retorted:

"He hired mercenaries to hijack his own ship, isn't that a traitor?"

"Nick Fury used your relationship to force the Council to delay the Insight program, which he knew would expose his illegal activities, at best he lied to you, at worst..."

"Are you telling me to take the blame and resign?"

The dirty water that Pierce poured on Nick Fury had its effect as expected, making him sneer in his heart, and there was a bit of anger in his tone:

"I have a pen and paper on hand now!"

"We'll discuss that matter later!"

Another council member interjected coldly, making Pierce akimbo and adding another fire:

"Do you really talk about it?"

"We've discussed it, Mr. Minister!"

Another board member deliberately highlighted Pierce's position:

"The council has made a decision to restart the Insight program immediately!"

Something went wrong with Director S.H.I.E.L.D., well he's dead now.

But your minister is obviously in tune with your good subordinate and good heir!

You still want to apply for martyrdom for a shameful traitor who has been under our noses for so long and cost us the loss of a respectable old friend? !

If he, Nick Fury, can be a martyr, what are we who he has played around with?

Are you an idiot?

No matter how idiots we are, we know that your Pierce support for Nick Fury is a betrayal!

Nick Fury is to blame, but next, once the Insight Project goes live, what your Pierce did will be fully exposed to our eyes!

S.H.I.E.L.D. has stolen so much power, you two guys are here, and we have never been able to really check and balance.

And now, one is dead, and your Pierce's day is not long!

So, he added:

"If you want to lose your temper, do it now."

"loose the temper……"

Pierce looked deeply at the four "colleagues" on the council and smiled:

"How come, I'm waiting for the insight plan to go live to see the faces of the people who want to kick me out of the car."

...

New Jersey, the birthplace of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the former training base of Captain America Steve Rogers.

Now it has been abandoned and empty, but as the place where the legend was born, its main structure has remained intact.

It was already dark, and it took a little effort to find the start-up basement of S.H.I.E.L.D. Oaks took out the USB flash drive and plugged it into the docking station on the console in front of him, which was obviously out of tune with the surrounding era.

Beside him, there are also two soul projections - the images of Steve and Natasha.

After obtaining the balance of life and death inheritance, this is the first time that Oaks really uses the soul-like spells in it.

Soul Illusion is very similar to Loki's illusion, and it can create a fake and real avatar, but it is not as exaggerated as Loki's separation.

It took Oaks a lot of thought to make the two soul projections so that they could be observed normally by optical cameras and could speak.

After all, soul-like spells were originally aimed at living bodies. Fortunately, some small spells that Frigg had taught him helped him a lot.

With the sound of mechanical rotation, the entire computer room seemed to come alive, and the dense tapes began to rotate with various strange rhythms.

On the console in front of Oaks, a bunch of big pimple head monitors began to glow, and the old-fashioned cameras above also swayed up and down, indicating that they had entered the state of use.

A line of green letters "System Initialization?" popped up on the largest display, accompanied by a burst of old-fashioned electronic synth sounds.

After Oaks entered "yes", he turned into a cheetah and entered stealth.

The tape hummed for a moment, and the camera above the monitor wobbled, pointing at "Steve" and "Natasha."

"Steve Rogers, born 1918..."

"Natalia Arianovna Romanova, born 1984."

Although Zola wondered why the images of these two people looked strange, he didn't care too much.

After all, the clarity of his old camera is really touching,

"I may not be the guy the captain held in jail in 1945, but I'm still me."

The screen on the side shows the information of Dr. Zola, and Oaks manipulated two soul projections to perform a whole drama for the doctor incarnated as AI.

"He reminded me of Tony's AI, which should be Jarvis."

"Natasha" "looked" at the tapes that were running out of sync:

"These things... look weird."

"Artificial intelligence...hehehe, look around here, you're standing in my brain.

My body is terminally ill and there is no cure, but my mind is kept in this 200,000 foot database! "

Although Zola's tone maintained the cadence of the machine voice, Oakes could still hear his pride:

"I'm in better spirits now than ever!"

"Well, I don't know how you did such crazy things back in those days, but things might be a lot easier now."

"Steve" shrugged:

"Try to explain as much as possible, 'we' are very patient."

"Then it couldn't be better..."

In order to delay time, Zola didn't care whether he wanted to delay time or not, so Zola explained in a big way that Oaks controlled the soul illusion to make some timely reactions.

"I thought you were going to punch you, Captain Rogers."

After talking about a lot of dry goods~lightnovelpub.net~ Zola finally felt a little strange about the attitude of the two in front of him:

"It seems that the experience after waking up has made you somewhat calmer."

"Dr. Zola, you are indeed... an epoch-making genius."

"Steve" ignored him, as if shocked by Zola's news.

"Natasha" stroked her hair and shook her head regretfully:

"It's a pity that your vision is limited to this small planet, and you have been wasting decades in this pile of electronic waste."

"The current level of technology requires only a small chip to carry all your consciousness and provide you with crushing computing power.

Hydra trapped you, an old senior who worked so hard to serve the organization, in such a dilapidated house, is it because your current thinking mode will not take the initiative to think about 'improving the living environment', or..."

"I'm afraid you're too smart for them to control?"
