Homeland Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency, referred to as S.H.I.E.L.D., in the aircraft carrier briefing room of the space carrier.
Colson was in front of the curved conference table, and around him were scattered large and small blue projections.
"Boy, let's watch some weather news first."
Coulson zoomed in on one of the projections, and then a news video was played.
"In the early morning, the observatory observed abnormal lightning strikes near Manhattan. Experts said it was caused by the influence of bottom cold air pressure."
"And this cold air will continue to advance, and clouds, fog and rain are about to come..."
The date showed just a short time ago, a very ordinary New York weather forecast.
"So, what does this mean?"
"It's cold, please put on more clothes?"
Natasha Romanoff, the famous legendary female agent, was sitting at one of the curved conference tables.
She gave up her original investigation mission and was summoned back urgently.
She thought something big had happened, but it turned out to be an expired weather forecast?
"If that's the case, you can definitely call me. I thought there would be something more important."
"Nothing is more important than this. Someone has brought thunder from the sky!"
Coulson didn't mean to be joking at all. He pressed the button in his hand, and the blue projection in front of him switched and played a video.
First, there was a video from a high-altitude perspective. It was drizzling in the early morning, and there were no pedestrians on the slightly dim street. A dazzling flash appeared in the air, and then thunder struck out of thin air.
Then the scene changed and the perspective changed to a wide perspective of the street. Eastern Taoist priests and Japanese witches appeared in the video.
"What's this?"
"The latest promotional video for the Eastern Exorcist movie?"
Clint Barton, he knocked on the table, a little confused.
"Unfortunately, this is not a movie promotion video."
"This is a video that the technical department staff pulled down from the dark web six minutes after the Hell's Kitchen lightning incident."
"The original video was too blurry, this is the clear image after restoration."
Colson explained simply.
"So what you mean is..."
"A Taoist priest attracted thunder and then fought with a witch."
"But shouldn't they be in the same group?"
Barton can't be said to know much about the mysterious Eastern culture, but as an excellent agent, he still understands these basic knowledge.
Taoist priests and witches are both representatives of exorcism, which means the same thing as exorcists, priests, and priests.
So, the exorcist and the priest are fighting?
What kind of modern fantasy plot is this?
Barton pressed his temples. He suddenly couldn't understand the world.
"The specific reason is not known yet."
Colson shook his head. The investigation time was too short and it would not be easy to obtain video data.
More internal information needs to be discovered later.
"Is it possible that some kind of technology can do it?"
Natasha said at this time.
Although the Taoist priest in the video uses a long knife to draw thunder, this is reasonable from the perspective of Eastern mysticism.
But as an excellent materialist, Natasha did not believe in any deceptive mysticism.
She has also studied Norse mythology. Why, Thor, the God of Thunder, is also true?
"The technical department staff also raised this point, saying that the long knife in the priest's hand may be a special lightning-inducing device."
Coulson spread his hands. He had actually considered black technology, but their director didn't seem to think so.
"Based on the current situation, let's start the investigation from the direction of occultism."
Nick Fury, who was observing, had a dark face and didn't explain much. He just set the pace with one sentence.
"Well, then there are no definite clues?"
Natasha looked at the two documents in her hand, both of which were analysis reports on the video just now.
It's said to be useful, but it's really not that big.
"The exact news is that this miko lady first appeared in our sights because of him."
"The fearless man of Hell's Kitchen, Daredevil!"
Coulson said as the blue projection in front of him showed a picture of Daredevil.
"Why?"
Natasha was slightly startled. Does this matter have anything to do with Matt?
She knew Daredevil's true identity. Because of some tasks, she and Matt had an intersection for a period of time.
To be honest, they can be considered friends.
"Natasha called you back this time because she wanted you to see your old friends."
"Daredevil probably knows a lot about the problems in Hell's Kitchen."
Nick Fury turned his head and looked at Natasha.
Before he figured out where the Taoist priest and the witch came from, he didn't want to use too radical methods.
Let Natasha go, starting with Daredevil, you can get the information very well.
"okay, I get it."
Natasha didn't say anything more and nodded in understanding.
"what about me?"
Barton asked, pointing to his nose.
He and Natasha were recalled at the same time, and since Natasha was going to Hell's Kitchen, he must also have a mission.
"I'll have to ask Agent Patton to come with me."
“I’m going to get in touch with this guy!”
Coulson gave a wry smile.
"At the end of the video, a black Jeep broke into the scene."
"This is no coincidence. According to surveillance on urban roads, the destination of this car is very clear, and it is heading towards the neighborhood where the conflict occurred."
"According to the tracking of the license plate number, the owner of this car is named Zhao Li!"
As Colson said, a blue projection flashed in front of him, and a man's detailed information appeared.
"Zhao Li!"
"Age: Thirty years old."
"Date of birth: August 21, 1978."
"Leo, blood type B, height 1.78 meters, weight 65 kilograms."
"All the documents are fine, and his personal information is also complete."
"It is worth noting that he has considerable assets to his name."
There was a trace of hesitation on Colson's face.
"Any questions?"
Barton asked at this time.
"The origin of his assets is unknown?"
"No, on the contrary, the source of his assets is very normal. Normal is a bit too much."
Colson's tone increased and he continued.
"A month ago, Mr. Tom, a shareholder of a dairy factory, who had no wife or children, died during an operation in the hospital due to gastrointestinal disease. Before his death, he left a gift agreement, and the beneficiary was Li Zhao!"
"Two weeks ago, Mr. Aldrich, the director of an entertainment company, passed away. His wife died three years ago, and she is also childless."
"Before his death, he left a will and also donated his property to Zhao officials."
"Four days ago..."
"Do you suspect that he used some special means to murder these people and seize their property?"
Natasha knocked on the table and said at this time.
"Currently, these people all died accidentally or due to illness. The hospital and police station also have relevant records. It cannot be seen that they were abnormal deaths, but..."
Coulson didn't say much, but just thinking about this kind of thing felt wrong.
"Then would it be dangerous to contact him so rashly?"
Barton said to Nick Fury at this time.
"That's why I asked you to come back. You and Coulson should act together and make tentative contact."
Nick Fury also knows the dangers.
But who knows, among the information that can be found now, the only one with the most complete information is this official Zhao.
As a possible breakthrough, I should try it even if it is dangerous.
"That's how things are for the time being."
Nick Fury began to make concluding remarks.
"Colson and Barton team up, and Natasha moves freely, trying to confirm their purpose, origin, and risk assessment in the shortest possible time."
"etc……"
In the middle of Nick Fury's words, an emergency call came in. He reached out and pressed his headset, and then he froze.
The three Coulsons didn't know what happened, but they could clearly see that Nick Fury's already dark face was really gloomy at this moment.
After a while, Nick Fury hung up the call and was silent for a moment before speaking.
