Chapter 336 Nick Fury's Doubt
Ancient swordsmen, including the current Colleen Wen, all believed that it was the effect of swordsmanship. In fact, focusing on any one thing can restore mental power.
It's just that swordsmanship is more obvious as a killing skill.
In a harsh environment, eliminating distracting thoughts and focusing on something can indeed enhance willpower and temper the spirit.
The human spirit is a treasure trove. Qiao Ke practiced with great concentration for a few days. He did not practice the invincible swordsmanship, but his spirit and will became more refined and condensed, and he was able to calm down. Without the impetuousness before, it was indeed a big step forward.
The range of teleportation has become larger, the sensory detection has become more accurate, and the "Qi" of Shangqi has been assimilated, which gives Qiao Ke a vague ability to release internal force in close combat.
The application of this mental power is as sharp as a sword, and it is very helpful to him to launch sharp sword moves.
And this kind of skill can be improved through practice. In the face of the endless mind reading and mind control superpowers in this world, he finally has a stronger defense, no longer relying solely on the instinct of the optical brain singularity.
"You can master the essence in just one week. It seems that I teach well!" Colleen Wenwen has been with Qiao Ke for a long time, and she is very familiar with her, and she also shows some girlish qualities.
Qiao Ke took Sif to eat other people's food and drink other people's food every day, and also learned her swordsmanship, so everything acquiesced.
"I opened the swordsmanship dojo to strengthen my body, and I pay attention to the cultivation of martial arts," Colleen Wen said.
Qiao Ke and Colleen Wen spent a particularly long time together this time, and it can be said that they deliberately cultivated a relationship between the two.
In the Washington headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D., Hitwell has been restless recently, and Alexander Pierce has been secretly plotting, planning and preparing for decades of insight plans, and finally he is about to finally show his plans and reach the implementation level facing the real world.
This plan is based on the Zora algorithm, using three aerospace aircraft carriers, connecting satellites for global nuclear strikes, destroying all individuals that threaten Hydra, controlling SHIELD, controlling the US government, completing a gorgeous transformation, and making Hydra the most powerful super organization in the world.
Everything seemed to be perfect at first, but Hitterwell knew that there were loopholes in the plan, which increased the risk of possible exposure.
Hitwell also had no choice but to act according to Alexander Pierce's plan. If he won, he would be the hero of Hydra.
SHIELD Trident Building, the highest command center in the name of SHIELD.
Since the relationship between Nick Fury and the Security Council has become more and more fraught, he has rarely been here.
Although the place where he really should stay is his office in the Trident building.
But in fact, Nick Fury would rather stay on the aerospace carrier, or even the central base, than stay here, so that the nominal director's office has lost its original meaning.
So, after going on for a while, the office has a new owner.
And his current master is what Nick Fury is looking for.
Alexander Pierce, one of the most powerful directors of the World Security Council, is also the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Now I am sitting in this office, doing my daily work.
Nick Fury's sudden intrusion obviously interrupted his ongoing work, and he first glanced sullenly at who broke in without even knocking on the door.
And when he saw that the person who came in was actually Nick Fury, there was just a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Nick, why did you come here?" As a former comrade-in-arms, Pierce greeted him with an intimate title of peers.
Nick Fury sat directly opposite Alexander Pierce, looked at his old friend across a desk, and said to him: "If I remember correctly, this should be my office. What? Am I not even eligible to come back here now?"
"Of course not!" With a gentle smile, Pierce lifted two cups from the table.
He poured a cup of hot coffee from the coffee machine on the side and put it in front of Nick Fury: "I just didn't think about it. If you want to come back, I can move back. Believe me, it won't take much time!"
"Forget it, I don't want to stay in such a dangerous place." Nick Fury replied by squinting his eyes slightly, letting his eyes sweep back and forth from Pierce calmly.
Hearing what he said, Pierce was obviously taken aback.
The expression on his face became surprised. Obviously, he didn't quite understand why Nick Fury would say that.
"Nick, did you make a mistake? This is the headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D., one of the most fortified places in the world, even the Pentagon's defense measures may not be comparable to this place. If this is considered a dangerous place, how can there be a safe place?"
"You think it's safe here because you don't know what I found. Indeed, the equipment here is the most advanced and the personnel are the most elite. But no matter how advanced the equipment or personnel are, they cannot guarantee absolute safety here, especially..."
Having said that, Nick Fury suddenly stopped.
However, Pierce became dissatisfied with his method of being stuck in the middle and suddenly unable to go up, which was appetizing.
"Especially what, you can tell me clearly. Nick, you must know the importance of this place. For S.H.I.E.L.D., this is one of the places where no mistakes are allowed."
Pierce said seriously: "If there is a problem here, then there will be a problem in the White House not far away. Therefore, if you find something, you'd better say it clearly, instead of tantalizing people like you are now. This is not something that can tantalize people's appetite."
Seeing Pierce's performance, Nick Fury fell silent.
He just sat there, staring at Pierce without blinking.
It wasn't until the expression on his face became stiff that he said to Alexander Pierce, "You want to know what I found, Pierce?"
"Don't keep it up, Nick Fury, this is not a trivial matter. If you find something, it's best to say it now, before everything happens, before we can remedy it." Pierce, who was repeatedly aroused by Nick Fury, began to increase his volume.
He didn't want to play this kind of game with Nick Fury, so it made him very unhappy, and naturally, his tone became harsh.
