In just one hour, the news that Captain America Steve Rogers had betrayed the organization spread throughout the Tri-Wing Building.
Most people find this unbelievable. With the charisma and character Rogers usually displays, it would be difficult for SHIELD agents to be completely convinced even if Pierce personally issued the order.
But no matter what, S.H.I.E.L.D. is always a spy agency with orders and prohibitions. Under Pierce's strong suppression, S.H.I.E.L.D. sent a large number of direct subordinates who were secretly loyal to Hydra and began to capture the "defected" Captain America and Black Widow.
.
Lu Xiao knew very well that the most important data was recorded in the USB flash drive that Fury gave to Rogers. Sooner or later, they would discover the truth behind SHIELD's glory.
The news of Captain America's defection has been tightly blocked by SHIELD. Except for members within SHIELD, no one knows that Captain Rogers, who has been shaped as a spiritual symbol of the United States, has been labeled as a wanted criminal.
Of course, Falcon Sam Wilson has not yet obtained this information.
Wilson's life is still regular. He goes out jogging with Lu Xiao every morning, and goes to the Department of Veterans Services during working hours to provide mental comfort to veterans suffering from traumatic response syndrome...referred to as verbal therapy.
Thanks to the mystic's extremely convenient teleportation technique and the use of meditation to greatly shorten his sleep time, Lu Xiao's "colorful" nightlife did not affect his daily morning jogging with Sam, and therefore did not attract Sam's attention.
any doubt.
For a person who wakes up energetically at five o'clock in the morning every day, it is impossible for a normal person to suspect that he sneaks out to do anything at night.
Rogers and Natasha were still being hunted by SHIELD. Considering their relationship with other members of the Avengers, Pierce carefully cut off all communication channels between them and Stark.
Once Rogers and Romanoff pick up the phone or computer and try to contact Tony, they will step into the trap prepared by Pierce, and SHIELD will immediately locate their location and cut off their contact.
Black Widow, who is experienced in counter-investigation, did not give Pierce this chance, but no matter how they planned to act next, it was absolutely impossible for the two of them to achieve their goal alone.
Rogers and Romanoff need credible people who are not of special concern to SHIELD to help them obtain intelligence, help them hide their identities, and provide a safe place to stay.
One morning, Lu Xiao and Sam returned from a morning run. The two bachelors were joking with each other and dining together at Sam's house. At this time, someone suddenly knocked on the glass of Sam's window.
Two men and women in shabby clothes stood outside the window. They looked like they had just returned from a battlefield filled with smoke, their bodies covered with tiny wounds and stains blackened by fireworks.
The handsome man at the head looked at the confused Sam with hopeful and pleading eyes, hoping to get help from the retired airborne soldier.
"Uh~"
Sam looked back with some embarrassment at Lu Xiao, who was holding the jam bread in his mouth. His intuition told him that what happened next was probably not suitable for Lu Xiao, an "ordinary citizen", to hear.
Facing Sam's troubled gaze, Lu Xiao shrugged nonchalantly: "Let them in, Captain America Steve Rogers, Black Widow Natasha Romanoff, the news about your defection has been reported in recent days.
There’s been a lot of buzz on the dark web.”
"oh?"
Black Widow, who had just climbed in through the window with Rogers, showed a meaningful smile on her face, and asked in a sexy and slightly hoarse voice: "So, you are a hacker?"
"That's right."
Lu Xiao patted the crumbs on his hand: "My identity is not important, at least I am on your side now."
"S.H.I.E.L.D. secretly hides a lot of things. This has long been agreed upon on the dark web. I also want to know what exactly they are hiding. They actually did not hesitate to kill two members of the Avengers to cover up the truth."
Lu Xiao's own programming skills can only be considered basic, but he can't stand it without the help of Aletheia.
Aletheia, who exists in the form of electronic ideology, can sneak into any open network to collect intelligence without any hindrance. If SHIELD's internal network did not exist independently, Aletheia would have already hacked into their system and forged it for Lu Xiao.
Got my ID.
So strictly speaking, there is no problem for Lu Xiao to package herself as a super hacker. Rogers and Nomanov are not likely to know the existence of Aletheia anyway.
Moreover, the information Lu Xiao told the two of them was true. There is no airtight wall in the world. Some hackers who had been paying attention to SHIELD's movements had indeed discovered the anomaly in the Tri-Wing Building.
Deliberately revealed by some internal employees, the dark web has been filled with discussions about the defection of Captain America and Black Widow in recent days.
Captain America has a relatively old-fashioned character. When he woke up after being frozen for many years, his understanding of new things like the Internet was relatively one-sided.
"Citizen, what we are going to talk about next is not suitable for your participation. You should still..."
"etc."
Black Widow stopped Rogers' persuasion. She looked at Lu Xiao with interest and asked, "I want to know what information you obtained from the dark web and where is the source of this information?"
Having been working as an agent for many years, Black Widow is very clear about SHIELD's intelligence control. If such important information is not disclosed deliberately by insiders, it will be impossible to spread it to the outside network.
"Hold on."
Lu Xiao opened the high-performance laptop on the table and pretended to type quickly on the keyboard.
With Aletheia's help, a chat box and secret picture information quickly popped up on the laptop screen.
Turning the computer over and placing it in front of Rogers and Romanoff, Lu Xiao said with a half-smile: "Although there are different opinions on the source of the intelligence, some highly skilled hackers have dug up the source - internal employees of SHIELD."
"The kill order issued by SHIELD's top brass was not approved by all members of the agency. I speculate that they wanted to use this method to escalate the situation. Sooner or later, the guy in New York will get relevant information."
"Given Iron Man's egotistical character, once he learned that his comrades were inexplicably issued a wanted order...this matter would completely cause a stir."
Although S.H.I.E.L.D. has been riddled with holes by Hydra, this does not mean that all agents in S.H.I.E.L.D. are members of Hydra.
Some agents were keenly aware that there was something fishy behind this matter. Forced by the hush-hush order issued by the top management, they could only act secretly in this roundabout way to save the country.
Black Widow and Captain America know Iron Man's character very well, and they also know SHIELD's methods very clearly.
The intelligence leaked on the dark web should not be confirmed for the time being. The cyber trolls under SHIELD will guide this incident in the direction of rumors. It should be difficult for Tony to obtain precise information in a short time.
Black Widow looked at the information on the computer and pondered for a moment: "We can't place all our hopes on that unreliable guy Tony. Maybe he is still busy making humans with Pepper..."
"Hey~"
Rogers raised his hands helplessly: "Let's get down to business and save the jokes for later, okay?"
The other three people present looked at each other. Sam smiled and shook his head and complained: "Captain, has anyone ever said that you are too rigid?"
Lu Xiao also spread his hands and joked: "When the atmosphere is too heavy, it's not a bad idea to speak a little porn to relieve the pressure."
"Cough~"
Natasha suppressed her laughter and coughed lightly. Rogers' reaction like an innocent virgin made the three people present laugh.
"Okay, handsome hacker guy."
Natasha raised her eyebrows coquettishly and winked at Lu Xiao: "I need you to continue to provide us with information. It is best to locate the source of intelligence within SHIELD. Can you do that?"
Although he knew that Black Widow was an ace female agent who used her beauty to complete tasks, Lu Xiaochuo was still "shocked" by her without any help.
'Yao Shou! This woman's charm is like magic.'
Using meditation to quickly collect his mind, Lu Xiao's eyes were in a daze for a moment before regaining their clarity.
"Okay, I'll join. For an ordinary person like me, such an interesting thing may never happen twice in my life."
Black Widow didn't react on the surface. She just smiled and shook hands with Lu Xiao, thanked him for his help and welcomed him to join the team, but her eyes flickered slightly.
'Such a strong willpower, is this person really just a nerd hacker?'
