Chapter 328: S.H.I.E.L.D. intervenes (seeking a monthly ticket of 5600 words)
Kai led people into the safe room again. Here, Mills had been uneasy. When he saw Kai and the others, he immediately rushed towards them as if they were seeing a savior. But Kai just nodded to him and walked in.
A house with a locked door.
Mills was shocked when he saw this, thinking it was some bad news.
"We successfully rescued the hostages, but the murderer escaped." William said quickly.
Mills breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was a pity that the murderer was not caught, saving an innocent person was considered good news. But soon, Mills' mood became depressed. Although he saved the female model, but
But it also proves one thing from the side.
Those were the targets chosen by the murderer, who were all participants in the case that year.
This made Mills feel breathless, because he felt that he had created this monster, or at least he had attracted this monster to Chicago. Although it is a bit far-fetched to think this way, Mills has a strong sense of responsibility.
Men always like to carry many things on their shoulders consciously.
He would think that if he had not been so impulsive and dealt with the problem calmly, maybe Victor would not have been able to escape trial. If so, the boy would not have committed suicide due to psychological reasons.
No one else could understand or comfort Mills' pain. Only Tracey held her husband to make him feel better.
…
"Hey, Agent Phil? It's me, Kai."
Kai locked himself in the room not because he was angry because he couldn't catch the murderer as others thought, so he was left alone. He just needed a private space to seek help.
"Officer Kai?" Phil was a little surprised when he heard Kai's call. He didn't expect that Kai would call him at this time. "Are you okay?"
"You said last time that all supernatural phenomena are your responsibility?" Kai asked directly.
"Um...yes. SHIELD is indeed responsible for this aspect." Phil didn't understand why Kai asked this at first, but he soon realized that Kai was not the kind of person who would communicate with him on the phone.
People, or in other words, there is no friendship between them at all! "Could it be..."
"Yes, I'm in Chicago now..."
"Chicago again?" Filch asked. After all, it hadn't been long since the last time Solomon caused trouble in Chicago. Mutants are not rats. They are everywhere. In fact, the number of mutants has always been very small. It is also because the number is too small that
As a result, the public has always believed that mutants are legends. However, Phil did not suspect that Kai was lying to him, because it made no sense.
"Then what kind of opponent did you encounter this time?"
The frequency of contact between Kai and SHIELD is really high. Within a year, he actually came into contact with SHIELD three times.
"A perverted murderer has already killed three people. When he was about to kill the fourth, I caught him. But the problem is that he ran away right under my nose..." Kai paused and then continued:
"After being shot in the front with my Desert Eagle, I jumped from the fifth floor and ran away..."
Although the Desert Eagle is famous, no army in the world has actually installed this gun because of three problems. First, it is too heavy. An empty Desert Eagle gun with a caliber of 11.43mm weighs 2kg.
, a warrior himself has to carry extremely heavy other equipment, so the Desert Eagle is still too heavy.
Second, the recoil is too strong. If the operator is not strong enough, the recoil can break the operator's arm. Due to the excessive recoil, the Desert Eagle's hit rate is quite impressive.
Third, it has a complex structure, low reliability, and cannot adapt to complex and harsh battlefield environments.
But one thing cannot be denied, that is, the Desert Eagle is one of the most powerful pistols in the world. Even if a big elephant is shot head-on by the Desert Eagle, it will be stunned. You must know that the Desert Eagle was originally designed
, is used for hunting large prey.
Now there is a person who was shot in the front by a Desert Eagle and was able to escape by jumping out of the fifth floor window. This is definitely a mutant who didn't escape!
But Phil didn't expect that Kai would have something to add.
"Also, when I saw his face, his whole face was shaking at a high speed, so fast that I couldn't see his face clearly."
"Okay, I understand. I will rush over right away." Phil said decisively.
"Agent Phil..." Just when Phil was about to hang up the phone, Kai suddenly said: "I need you to do me a favor."
Phil didn't expect Kai to make conditions with him at this time. To be honest, SHIELD is not a good department. They are not even people-friendly officials. They are not responsible to the people at all. They are only responsible to the World Security Council.
, they don’t need to maintain a people-friendly image at all, so most people who negotiate terms with them are simply overthinking.
But Phil is a good guy, in every sense of the word. So he decided to listen to what Kai's request was. If it wasn't too much, it wasn't unreasonable. After all, he had always been interested in Kai and wanted to win him over.
Enter S.H.I.E.L.D.
"you say."
"The thing is like this..."
Kai told Phil the whole story and then made his request. "I'm not interested in how you deal with this pervert, but I hope you can help me find Mary before catching that bastard."
Ya, other than that, I don’t have any requirements.”
Phil was silent for a while.
His silence was not because Kaiti's request was too much. On the contrary, Kai's request was too in line with universal values. However, there was a slight problem in the actual operation.
"I can agree to help. But... the process will be a little illegal, I don't know if you can accept it."
SHIELD has very high authority in the United States, but authority is inherently limited. How can an intelligence agency like SHIELD really abide by those rules and regulations? All good intelligence agencies are not very good.
Follow the rules, such as the FBI. In the Hoover era, the FBI was not a pure police agency. On the contrary, it was more like a uniformed guard monitoring the country. It was completely normal to secretly collect intelligence in violation of regulations.
Legend has it that Hoover was able to wield power over the entire United States because he used the FBI to master a large amount of dirty information about politicians, allowing the FBI's power to expand infinitely and become the largest bureaucracy in the U.S. government.
So if you want to find Maria as quickly as possible, you must use some extraordinary means.
"What do you think?"
The army that Kai served in before was not a righteous force. They also handled a lot of dirty work. Kai didn't have much moral obsession with this aspect. He was never a stickler for procedural justice. What he pursued was the justice of results!
"That's no problem. I'll be in Chicago soon."
…
After confirming that SHIELD would come, Kai immediately found William and told him that the current situation had exceeded the limit they could handle. He had contacted the FBI to take over the case!
Both the mature William and the young and energetic Mills reacted fiercely to Kay's act of always overstepping his authority.
As a police officer, no one is willing to hand over the case in their hands for no reason. That means they are incompetent! But in fact, they are getting closer to the murderer's true identity step by step! Kai's approach is tantamount to picking peaches.
usurp the fruits of their work.
"I'm doing it for your own good." Kai said calmly: "William, you have seen with your own eyes how that guy escaped! Do you think ordinary people can do it? He is an extremely dangerous and crazy guy. I am so
I don’t mean to look down on you, in fact, you have done a good job. But now, this case has exceeded the scope of what you can handle... so giving up is the best choice!"
Kai Ke didn’t think that a group of ordinary police officers could handle that guy! Professional matters should be left to professionals.
Although Kai has given the best explanation for his behavior, the problem is that William and Mills are still not ready to give up. Especially William, who was originally planning to retire in a few days, but the persistence in his bones still prevented him from giving up.
Fafa turns a blind eye to the case in his hands. Maybe he is really disappointed with the city and the career he has done. But he is a policeman! A real policeman, as long as he is still in this position for one day,
He can't give up his original intention!
"If you have any dissatisfaction, you can complain to your superiors, but now... I think all arguments are meaningless!"
After speaking, Kai pushed the two people away and asked the special police officers guarding the safe room to keep an eye on the two people and not let them get out.
Strangely enough, the special police officers obviously had no affiliation with Kai, but they did not resist Kai's orders at all. Perhaps it was because Kai had just led them to regain their face.
…
S.H.I.E.L.D. was very fast. An hour after Kai called, the Chicago police received a call from the top of the FBI. During the phone call, the FBI officially informed the Chicago police that the case was officially taken over by the FBI Special Investigation Team.
Naturally, the Chicago police refused. But it was useless, because the mayor of Chicago had already spoken personally. However, the FBI still showed goodwill, and they were willing to issue consultations on the case to the outside world in the name of joint handling of the case.
Of course, all this is just a gimmick. In fact, the FBI just once again became the scapegoat, and SHIELD was really involved in the investigation. This is also a common trick used by SHIELD to appear in front of the public, using the FBI's criminal law enforcement powers.
Who says the FBI has great power?
Soon Kai met with Phil, and this time he brought a whole team of SHIELD field agents. These people are elites selected from various law enforcement agencies and forces. More importantly, they specialize in dealing with all kinds of strange things.
**Special forces have rich experience and are definitely more reliable than ordinary police.
"You should already know the basics of the matter." From the fact that they can freely use the name of the FBI to persuade the Chicago police, Kai can know that these guys are much more powerful than he imagined. In this case, as the case progresses, Fei
You don't know that.
"Of course! We can start investigating now!"
With that said, Phil took Kai to a private building. When they walked into the upper floor of the building, they discovered that there was a whole other world here. The top floor of the building was already occupied by various equipment and computers. When Kai walked in, inside
There are already a lot of people busy here and there.
A conference room in the building was covered with various screens, all of which were surveillance pictures. Kai couldn't tell where it was, and he wasn't very familiar with Chicago.
Kai was very interested in these powerful-looking equipment, but the staff who operated the equipment disliked Kai and wouldn't let him touch them at all.
"These are a set of surveillance equipment invented by our SHIELD science department at a cost of billions of dollars. However, due to some reasons, they could not be circulated." Phil did not explain anything more and just took it over in one sentence.
."Okay, we can start looking for people."
"Here?" Kai was surprised.
"That's right!" Phil said very proudly. "This is the 'Skynet system' invented by our SHIELD. It can connect to any device with a camera. At the same time, this system can connect to anyone's computer through sonar equipment.
Mobile phones monitor everyone’s movements. If we want, we can see what everyone in Chicago is doing through their mobile phones!”
Phil's introduction made Kai's eyes widen. Although Kai was not a scientific idiot, why did this thing sound so fantasy? Also, although Kai was an old antique in his previous life, he had watched The Terminator anyway, right?
Is it really okay to call this system Skynet? Why does Kai always think that in the next second this system will control nuclear bomb launchers across the United States, and then the world will be destroyed and machines will rise?
While Phil was talking, he was also quietly paying attention to Kai's expression. He wanted to see how Kai would react. It turned out that Kai was just surprised, and then a little weird, but not indignant. After this technology was formed,
It has received a lot of criticism. Even within SHIELD, there are many people who oppose this technology. After all, this thing is too buggy. If we really wait for this thing to be completed, the whole world will not be able to escape SHIELD's spy.
.
This equipment itself is an infringement of citizens' personal privacy rights. It is illegal from a legal point of view and unjust from a moral point of view, because no one wants to have a pair of eyes staring at them all the time, regardless of what they are doing behind the eyes.
Why do people do this? This behavior itself will not be accepted by normal people. If someone uses this equipment to do bad things, it will pose a great threat to society.
It was also because of this that this system was only a semi-finished product and had never been tested once. It just so happened that during this period, Phil received an order from his superiors to experiment and evaluate the practical capabilities and usability prospects of this system.
As for moral and legal issues, they are currently outside the scope of SHIELD's consideration.
This thing hasn't taken shape yet, so it's too early to think about it so much.
In fact, Kai is really afraid of this thing, but Kai also believes that he is definitely not the only one who is afraid of this thing. If the sky is falling, there will be someone taller to hold it up, but he is in a hurry to find something to use? SHIELD doesn't listen.
his.
Relatively speaking, those upper-class people, political bigwigs, and business tycoons care more about this stuff. It is really more important than privacy. The privacy of ordinary people is not as valuable as those of bigwigs! Those upper-class people have more shit under their butts than ordinary people.
Yes, they are the pioneers who insist that personal privacy is inviolable.
So Kai believes that even if he doesn't say anything, those big guys will still force SHIELD to give up this research.
But before that, its most important function was to help him find Maria!
"Why are you looking at me? Since it is so powerful, you should start quickly!"
Phil was speechless. He had thought a lot about Kai's reaction after seeing this system, but there was no such thing. He was actually indifferent to it. Because in his heart, Phil was also extremely opposed to this technology. He was very opposed to this technology.
This experiment was not supported, but the director asked him to preside over the experiment, so he came. He also planned to write Kai's reaction into the report, so that the director could see how an ordinary person would react to it.
Use this to tell the director what kind of situation they will face once this technology is announced.
Unfortunately, Kai didn't care at all.
"All right."
Phil calmed down and gestured to his subordinates.
Then Maria's photo appeared on the main screen in the center, and then dozens or hundreds of other screens began to flash. Countless pictures flashed quickly through those screens, making people dizzy.
Suddenly, an index on the device began to rise rapidly, and other indexes also slowly increased.
"What happened? Found it?"
Kai saw that most of those indices were calculation speed, number of screenings, and some hardware indices, but Kai didn't know what they represented when combined.
"No...there must be something wrong." Phil frowned, feeling a little bad.
"Oh...is it serious?"
"It shouldn't be serious. It also happened during the previous debugging..." Phil just finished his words.
All the creative equipment in the room suddenly clicked and went out...and then a burning smell and thick smoke came from the computer room next door.
"Uh...this has happened before?"
Phil's face became ugly! Even if Phil was not a technical expert, he knew that this experiment was over! It was smoking, and he was still experimenting!
"By the way, is this thing really only worth a few billion dollars? Or does your department use this trick to defraud funds?"
Kai asked a lot, and then Phil's face became even more ugly.
But he couldn't get angry at Kai yet. He could only look at the technicians, hoping that they could give a reasonable explanation.
The technicians next to me were very calm. To them, isn't it common sense that experiments fail? As for spending money... How can anyone engage in scientific research without spending money?
"There is so much information that needs to be processed and filtered. You can't imagine how much information a person will generate in a day, and we have to sift through all the languages, texts and images that are useful to us in that vast sea of information. This
This kind of calculation has exceeded the load of our host. And because the information collection equipment has not met expectations, a lot of information has not been collected. We need new information collection equipment. If it still cannot meet expectations, then this part needs to be re-
designed."
In a word, that is money!
Looking at it this way, the smell of money fraud becomes even stronger.
"I'm not responsible for this. Maybe you can make a good report after you go back! But now! You have to tell me! Has this piece of shit played any role at all?!!"
Phil didn't know much about other things, but he knew that even though the equipment on site didn't seem like a big deal, in fact, these equipment alone cost hundreds of millions of dollars! It only took a few seconds for them to be turned on and everything was over.
If nothing useful is obtained, SHIELD will really suffer a huge loss!
"This... we won't know until the system is restarted."
"How long will that take!!!"
"Half an hour!"
So half an hour later, Kai got a photo. It was an enlarged photo, and it showed a silhouette of Maria appearing in the corner of the photo. It seemed that someone was taking pictures with a mobile phone, and accidentally took the photo of Maria.
Got in.
"When and where was this photo taken?"
The time was three o'clock in the afternoon three days ago. As for the location... I'm sorry, before the host burned down, only this information was left. If we want to get more detailed information, we can change the host and continue the experiment!" The technician
Seems eager to try.
At this time, Phil asked in a hesitant voice: "How much does a new host cost?"
"It's not expensive. It only costs 97 million U.S. dollars, which is only 100 million when rounded off!"
When Phil heard this, he turned around and left without hesitation. He already had photos, so he still needed to spend 100 million?
All you need is image recognition and search software. Don’t talk about SHIELD, you can find it directly in Silicon Valley!
