After sending the little boy away with a candy, Li Xiao opened the letter and read it.
I saw a time, date and the location of an address written in oil pen on it. There was no other information about the sender or the place where the letter was sent. Other than that, there was only a skull and squid body logo in the lower right corner of the envelope.
, showing a ferocious and strange feeling.
"Is this a letter from the Hydra organization?" Li Xiao couldn't help but mutter to himself.
In fact, since the last time he came to this Marvel plane, he has begun careful arrangements, including Hydra. When he returned this time, he originally planned to have time to meet the current Nine-Headed Snake.
However, the well-informed Hydra found him first, which saved him a lot of effort.
Li Xiao glanced at the address again and remembered it firmly in his heart.
...
The next day, after breakfast, Li Xiao selected a relatively low-key black Mercedes-Benz from the many sports cars in Tony's garage and drove out of the villa, avoiding all kinds of surveillance on the street, along the suburban roads,
Came to an abandoned park far away from the city.
This park covers an area of about ten acres, and you can vaguely see the lively scene of the past. However, at this time, the park is overgrown with weeds, vines are growing wantonly, and the facilities are completely damaged. It has become desolate, sparsely populated, and far away.
There were only a few wild dogs eating in the garbage.
Li Xiao stepped into the park, and finally found a familiar yet unfamiliar figure pacing back and forth under a big tree with withered leaves.
This is a middle-aged man about forty years old. He wears an eyepatch on his right eye. The suddenly bulging eye on the left looks a bit sinister. He is dressed in black clothes. His whole body shows an aura of having been in a high position for a long time. But his
His face was covered with sores, his eyes were puffy, and he had an indescribable weird feeling inside.
Hearing the gradual footsteps, the middle-aged man turned his head and met Li Xiao's eyes. His shoulders couldn't help but trembled heavily. After the pride faded, his face looked excited and ready to cry!
"Are you... Sitrik?" Li Xiao said a little unsurely.
When he heard Li Xiao's voice, Old Sitrik burst into tears and said respectfully with a trembling voice: "It's me, the second boss. It's rare that you still recognize me. How have you lived these past few decades?"
Although Sitrik was the leader of Hydra in the past, Li Xiao was the one he really relied on, and he had accumulated so much power that even after so many years, Sitrik still remained the same when he saw Li Xiao.
It's respectful.
Li Xiao nodded lightly, then frowned slightly and said, "Why did you become like this?"
It stands to reason that after more than seventy years, Baron Sitric should have become old and decrepit, but looking at his face at this time, he is still middle-aged, but the sores all over his face are a bit disgraceful.
"This... the second boss doesn't know anything." Sitrik sighed heavily and began to describe what happened in the past few decades.
It turns out that more than seventy years ago, the Red Skull died at the hands of Bucky, and Li Xiao left the sky. The remaining Sitrik was a little helpless. In order to stabilize the morale of the army and strengthen the will of Hydra, he
He made the same choice as the Red Skull, injecting an inferior version of the super serum originally invented by Dr. Erkins to enhance his strength and establish his authority in Hydra.
However, as Dr. Erkins said, after the injection of this super serum, the good things are better and the bad things are worse. Although this serum can delay the aging of Sitrik and greatly increase his strength, the sequelae will soon occur.
Trek's face began to fester and spread, and finally the entire face was covered with sores, becoming neither human nor ghost, ferocious and terrifying.
At this time, Sitrik has inherited the will of Red Skull Schmidt. Under his takeover, Hydra's ambition to rule the world has once again rekindled, and it has slowly gone underground, launching a worldwide war.
The series of sabotage activities has now become a thorn in SHIELD's side and a mortal enemy.
...
Li Xiao sighed quietly as he listened to Sitrik's narration, full of emotion.
I still remember how powerful the Hydra that possessed the Cosmic Cube was, and even gave people the aura of dominating the world.
But seventy years have passed by so quickly, it seems like a lifetime ago, and things have changed and people are different now. Although Li Xiao is like a traveler who keeps traveling around the world, he will always feel uncomfortable after staying in one place for a long time.
What aroused his feelings was that the changes and vicissitudes of the sea over the past few decades also made him feel more sad and emotional. Time is indeed fleeting.
After a while of greetings, the two of them had their own thoughts, and the atmosphere fell into silence for a while. After a short silence, Li Xiao retracted his thoughts, raised his eyelids, and glanced at Sitrik lightly, only to find that his eyes flickered.
, hesitantly, as if he wanted to speak but hesitated.
"Your appointment with me this time should be more than just catching up on old times, right?"
Seeing Li Xiao speak, Sitric finally plucked up the courage and said: "What puzzles me is why the second leader is so close to Iron Man Tony now that he is back. You know, the brothers of Hydra
, but we all hope that you can come back and realize our desire to rule the world with us..."
Hearing this, Li Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly.
The news that he and Tony were on good terms spread like wildfire through media reports. Obviously, Hydra already knew this. This time Sitric asked him out. It was obvious that it was not as simple as reminiscing about old times, but wanted to
We need to test his current position.
Li Xiao's narrowed eyes flashed with a fierce light. This scene made Sitrik's eyelids jump. His expression was full of vigilance. He clenched his fists slightly and slowly stepped back until Li Xiao raised the corner of his mouth.
When a faint smile appeared, he let out a long breath.
Li Xiao put his hands behind his back, looked far away, and said calmly: "Sitrik, you understand, in fact, if you want to rule the world, you don't just squat in a corner and shout a few "Long Live Hydra" vigorously.
It can be done.”
"I don't quite understand what you said, and I would like to ask the second boss to explain." Sitrik was a little confused.
Li Xiao turned around, nodded his head with his index finger and said: "It is far more effective to confront the enemy head-on than to disintegrate the enemy from within. Use your brain, I believe you can understand what I am saying."
Sitrik's eyes suddenly shrank, and then he showed a surprised smile, and said excitedly: "I knew that you, the second leader, would never betray Hydra. As expected, you are very foresighted, and I am extremely impressed...
"
Li Xiao waved his hand, stopping Sitrik's flattery, and asked a topic that interested him instead.
"Sitrik, let me ask you something, where is the Cosmic Cube now?"
