"you……"

Natasha wanted to refute Russell, but when she really wanted to speak, she didn't know what to say.

Seeing the unwilling expression on Natasha's delicate and fair face, Russell released the right hand that was holding Natasha's chin and scratched her face.

"Don't always look like a deep hatred. Over time, wrinkles are easy to appear."

Russell said with a serious look.

If it weren't for Russell's opponent, Natasha would like to let Russell experience what a man hurts the most.

Natasha didn't speak, twisted her neck and shook off Russell's right hand.

"Okay, let's talk about business while Diana hasn't come back yet!"

After speaking, Russell sat down on the chair and motioned for Natasha to sit down too.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Natasha sat down on the only remaining empty chair.

"How did your brainwashing effect disappear?"

Russell asked directly.

Although he has some guesses now, Natasha is not in a state of brainwashing now.

In order to avoid leaking information about the Mind Stone, he pretended to know nothing.

After hearing his question, Natasha frowned and thought for a few seconds.

Afterwards, he said slowly, "When I stopped those three aliens, I was hit by their weapons, and then the brainwashing effect on me disappeared."

"Be clear, what weapon was hit, and the three aliens were all armed."

Russell continued to ask.

Although she no longer needs to obey Russell's words, for some reason, after hearing Russell's not serious tone, Natasha still has the urge to answer honestly.

After taking a deep breath for a few seconds, she continued: "I was hit by that scepter that looked like a scythe with a blue gem on it."

"To be precise, it was hit by the energy beam released by the gem."

Natasha finally told the truth.

Mind Stone Scepter!

Although General Dead Blade and others have weapons, and General Dead Blade's weapon looks somewhat similar to a sickle.

But obviously, the scepter Natasha was talking about was the scepter inlaid with the Mind Gem.

"After the brainwashing effect wore off, did you ever think about telling Nick Fury that you were brainwashed?"

Although he and Natasha have done some things that made everyone happy before, Russell is very clear that the close relationship between himself and Natasha is based on the premise of brainwashing.

If there is no brainwashing, Natasha's attitude towards him will not be much better, and maybe she will secretly plan a way to kill him.

"Of course I thought about it, but as you said, S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't have the strength to deal with you."

"Even if I tell Fury the truth, what he can do is very limited, and it will make S.H.I.E.L.D. and Zhenglian completely hostile."

Natasha said quickly.

"Looks like you're thinking about Nick Fury."

"But there is one thing I don't understand. Even if S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't have the strength to deal with me now, you can continue to pretend to be brainwashed and secretly collect information from Zhenglian."

"This level of camouflage shouldn't be difficult for you."

Russell continued to ask.

"It's not difficult for me to continue pretending to be brainwashed, but you should know exactly who you are."

"If I continue to pretend to be brainwashed and get along in private, you know what you will do to me."

After speaking, Natasha gave Russell a white look.

Although Natasha was a little euphemistic, Russell knew what she meant.

Aren't you just worried about continuing to play flying chess with me?

But then again, Natasha, who is already a top female spy, shouldn't mind this kind of thing.

Selling beauty to obtain information is a time-tested method for female spies, and it is also an extremely reliable method.

Natasha was born in a red house, so she shouldn't particularly reject this kind of thing.

However, this is also uncertain. The former Natasha may not mind using this method to obtain information, but she is no longer an agent of the Red House, but a more above-mentioned agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.

"I didn't expect that the famous Black Widow would give up the great opportunity to collect intelligence for this reason. It seems that Fury has indeed changed a lot for you."

Russell said with a smile.

Although he doesn't like Nick Fury as a black man very much, he will not deny one thing, that is, Nick Fury does have an indescribable charisma.

The agents of SHIELD will obey him. In addition to being the director of SHIELD, it is also related to his excellent personal charisma.

Otherwise, top agents like Natasha and Patton would not be able to work for him sincerely.

Anyone who can become a top agent is not stupid, or in other words, it is impossible for a fool to become an agent, let alone a top agent.

"Everyone can change!"

Natasha seemed to recall something, a trace of loneliness flashed on her face, and she said silently.

"But there is one thing I don't understand. Even if you don't want to use those methods to collect information, you don't want to tell Nick Fury about it. After the brainwashing effect is lifted, you don't need to talk to me about it, right? "

Although he has a successful career, and still has the appearance and charm of Azu, Russell is very clear that he is not the kind of person who can convince everyone by charm alone.

After the brainwashing effect was lifted, Natasha didn't need to tell him these things, just ignore him directly.

"Normally, I really don't need to talk to you about this, but after the brainwashing effect disappeared, I found some problems."

Natasha said slowly.

"what is the problem?"

Russell asked curiously.

"You are a Hydra person, and there are Hydra people in S.H.I.E.L.D."

Natasha looked at Russell very seriously, observing all his expressions.

After seeing Natasha's current expression, Russell raised his eyebrows and praised Natasha's ability to observe and associate slightly.

The brainwashing effect on Natasha disappeared the night before.

It has been less than 48 hours from the time when the three generals of the dead blade scrambled for the cube of the universe.

And in less than 48 hours, Natasha discovered a secret that Nick Fury has yet to discover.

Although Natasha has some information that Nick Fury does not know.

For example, she knew that it was Russell who led the team to attack the Norwegian base and snatched the symbiote dragon Grendel.

But it is still not a simple matter to be able to determine who has Hydra in S.H.I.E.L.D. in less than two days.

"Agent Romanov, everything must be evidence."

"Although you are pretty and have a good figure, if you don't have any evidence, just point out that I am a Hydra, and I will reserve the right to sue you for defaming me."

Russell said with a smile.

"Okay, you know whether you are from Hydra or not."

Natasha rolled her eyes at Russell and said quickly.

Although it is only a habitual action, it has to be said that the white eyes of beautiful women still give people a feeling of amorous feelings.

At least Russell is a little bit stimulated now, and the picture of himself checking Natasha's learning results at the Zhenglian headquarters can't help but emerge in his mind.

Although he didn't speak now, as an experienced female spy, Natasha could see what he was thinking at a glance.

So, he snorted disdainfully in a nasal voice, and gave him another roll of eyes.

"Looking at the way you are now, there should be no substantive evidence at hand."

"Tell me, why do you think I'm from Hydra, and there are people from Hydra in S.H.I.E.L.D."

Leaving the unhealthy images in his mind behind, Russell asked Natasha.

Natasha didn't answer him the first time, thinking silently for more than ten seconds.

According to common sense, Natasha has absolutely no need to tell Russell what she found.

But after some serious thought, she decided to reveal a little bit of her findings to Russell.

"Although most of the Zaku armors with actual combat capabilities have been sold to the military, I have investigated the procurement records of the octopus monster unmanned factory."

"The amount of raw materials purchased by the factory far exceeds the amount sold to the military."

"Although you also sold some Zaku armors without a combat system as toys to some billionaires who have a lot of money and nowhere to spend, the raw materials purchased are still far beyond the standard."

Having said that, Natasha paused and glanced at Russell.

Then, he continued: "With the technical level of the Octopus Monster Industry, it is impossible to have such a large loss of materials, so there is only one reasonable explanation, that is, the Octopus Monster Industry has always been doing behind-the-scenes deals."

"You not only sold the Zaku armor to the military, you also sold the Zaku armor to some dangerous organizations."

"After confirming this, I went to check the bureau's investigation report on the wreckage of the battle armors, and found that the modification technology used in those battle armors was no worse than some military giants on the market."

When Natasha said this, Russell suddenly interrupted her.

"The technology leak of the armor is not a particularly strange thing."

"In addition to the octopus monster industry, the technology may also have been passed down from the military."

However, as long as technology products are sold to others, it is difficult to achieve complete technical secrecy.

As long as there are enough scientific researchers, even if there is no way to completely reverse all the technologies, they can still imitate them.

Unless the manufacture of the product involves some unknown special process or secret, it is not difficult to imitate.

As a simple example, if Tony's Mark series steel armor falls into the hands of Hammer Industries.

In addition to the small ark reactor, other technologies of the armor, Hammer Industries can achieve a certain degree of recovery.

"It is indeed possible that the technical information of the Zaku armor was leaked from the military."

"However, on the wreckage of the armor, the engineers in the bureau found something very interesting."

"The titanium alloy used in the battle armor and the iron alloy purchased by the Octopus Monster Industry are produced in the same batch."

"The armor that attacks the Norwegian base is the Zaku armor of Octopus Industry."

Natasha said with great certainty.

"Even so, at most, you can testify that I made a behind-the-scenes deal. You can't prove that I'm a Hydra person, and you can't prove that there are Hydra people in S.H.I.E.L.D."

Russell said calmly.

"You are right. Only these words are indeed far from enough. However, you have left an obvious flaw."

"What flaw?"

"You shouldn't brainwash me, let alone brainwash me at Zhenglian headquarters."

Natasha's explanation was fairly straightforward, but hearing this, Russell couldn't understand it.

Seeing his puzzled expression, Natasha showed a satisfied smile and continued to explain: "The brainwashing technique you used on me is unique to Hydra."

"I saw this brainwashing technique with my own eyes when I was still working in the Red House."

Does this work?

Russell did not expect that the flaw would actually come out of this place.

But then again, it's impossible for him to know this kind of thing in advance.

"Even so, you can at most prove that I am a Hydra person, and you can't prove that there is a Hydra person in S.H.I.E.L.D."

Russell continued to ask.

"Yes, this is the only word that can only mean that you are from Hydra."

"However, you shouldn't have too much contact with Bakshi. Bakshi has more flaws than you."

"Bakshi secretly contacted a lot of SHIELD agents, and more coincidentally, Bakshi secretly contacted SHIELD agents just after Pierce disappeared."

"You have the exclusive brainwashing technology of Hydra. Bakshi secretly contacted the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. after Pierce disappeared, and Bakshi is suspected to be your subordinate."

"Putting this information together, it's not hard to come to a conclusion."

"There are not only Hydra people in S.H.I.E.L.D., and their level is not low."

Natasha said calmly.

"Excellent guess, but you should know that guess is not proof."

Russell said with a smile.

"Yes, these are indeed guesses, but your current performance just proves that my guess is correct."

Natasha said with great certainty.

Looking at Natasha's expression now~lightnovelpub.net~ Russell shook his head helplessly.

"In less than two days, you have checked so many things. I really don't know whether to say that you are efficient, or whether the rest of the SHIELD team is too incompetent."

"I do have some cooperation with Hydra, and Hydra has indeed placed spies in S.H.I.E.L.D., and the level of spies is the same as you imagined."

"Since you have said so much, then I might as well reveal a few news to you."

"Pierce is also a member of Hydra, and he is also one of the leaders of Hydra. The Hydra undercover in S.H.I.E.L.D. are all his subordinates."

"Also, Hydra has more undercover agents in S.H.I.E.L.D. than you might think."

Although he will become the only leader of Hydra in the future, Russell does not mind telling Natasha the news.

He's not Pierce and has no idea of ​​world domination.

More importantly, he didn't particularly care about the power S.H.I.E.L.D. had.
