He was wary of aliens.
Ma Xiu restrained his footsteps and walked along the passage.
Through sound and breath, he can easily find paths that ordinary people cannot find.
And Helsing's basement is just such a place.
Not far behind him, the Blade Warrior was doing the same thing.
The difference is that Blade doesn't follow Hellboy's aura, nor does he follow Matthew's figure.
He followed the fear that kept coming from his body step by step, in order to find the source of his fear.
The feeling of having his blood uncontrolled made him very uncomfortable. Those vampires who made him uncomfortable had become fly ash under the knife. This time he planned to defeat his fear in the usual way.
…
"Miss, I think our cooperation with SHIELD is a bit abrupt, at least not suitable for this time period."
Walter was stating his views in Integra's office. This old and powerful man could clearly tell that Steve and his party would not stay in their room obediently.
This is not a special function, but the life experience of an old man.
Steve and his team put a lot of pressure on him. Even though he was a veteran warrior who had experienced hundreds of battles, he couldn't deny that his condition was declining rapidly.
At this time, he adjusted his gloves and was ready for battle at any time.
In order to fight better, Walter had to spend some time adjusting his condition in advance.
After all, he is no longer what he used to be. Some less "intense" battles can make him feel the moans of his body being overwhelmed, and the feeling of weakness coming from his lumbar spine is full of traces of time.
"Walter, I know very well how SHIELD operates, but what do they want from us? There is only one existence here that will attract their attention, and that is Accardo."
Integra's spectacle lenses were reflecting light, and this heroic woman remained calm and composed.
Integra, the descendant of Van Helsing, will always be a brave warrior.
She has never learned to make a complete compromise, and SHIELD can only get the result of using each other with her.
S.H.I.E.L.D. is very large. Even if the Helsing Agency is a semi-official organization in the United Kingdom, it does not have the energy to confront S.H.I.E.L.D.
This cooperation is actually her limited "compromise". This "compromise" is her further retreat for the sake of Hexin.
Nick Fury successfully persuaded Integra with the exchange of high-tech products and intelligence, allowing Helsing to try to provide SHIELD with the mysterious side of help.
This is also the result Accardo defaults to.
What Integra sought was a higher political status, and a mere semi-official status could not satisfy this extremely powerful woman.
"Maybe we can't just compromise?"
On Walter's fingers, you can see the patterns formed by the silk threads reflecting the metallic light, which are similar to patterns like the tumbleweed ropes that children played with when they were young, except that the patterns in his hands are more complicated.
"Accardo will give them a moderate lesson, Walter. I remember you said, 'Graceful aging is a British romance.' Sometimes old people are not suitable for public appearances."
Integula put a cut cigar in his mouth, and Walter naturally helped Integula light the cigar.
"Do you need me to deal with any subsequent trouble?"
Walter took back the match in his hand before speaking.
He never does two things at the same time, it's all about style.
"I think Accardo will handle it. I just need to ask you to inform Silas and let her stay in her room quietly. I don't want people from SHIELD to turn their target on her."
The smoke in Integra's mouth completed a cycle as he spoke these words, and the aroma of cigars filled the room.
"So do the Vatican need further negotiations? They haven't given us an explanation yet about Alexander Anderson."
Walter took a step back obediently and lowered his head.
The special silk thread between the fingers also disappeared.
"No, SHIELD will help us complete the negotiations."
A strange light flashed on the lenses of Integra's glasses.
SHIELD wants to use Helsing, and Helsing wants to use SHIELD.
In terms of official power, no matter what organization it is, it must give SHIELD some face. After all, the authority of this organization is too great.
All major countries want to get involved here, and the Vatican urgently needs this political power.
As one of the top forces on the mysterious side, the church's political power is so weak that it's almost ridiculous.
Political status depends on national strength, and the Vatican's national strength can be described as weak.
"As you wish, miss."
Walter replied without raising his head.
For him, "butler" is his first identity, and Walter, the God of Death, is already old.
