Nick Fury rubbed his shiny black head with a headache and sighed, "No, recall Sharon Carter and suspend all actions against Lemu Etxeberria... raise his confidentiality level to... level three."
"Don't have direct contact with him or the people around him in the future. Just keep an eye on him from a distance."
"Yes."
After Hill left, the office became quiet.
Fury, sitting on the recliner, stared at the ceiling in a daze.
Of course he wanted to explore the secrets of Lei Mu and the race and civilization behind him, but the prerequisite was that he had to do so without causing the other party to be disgusted and vigilant.
Never provoke them unless necessary.
Lai Mu and his race have been paying attention to the Earth for at least thousands of years. Nothing has happened in these thousands of years, and the best way is to keep it as it is.
But it was not all in vain, at least two pieces of information were obtained.
One is the bad news. Recently, there are more and more uncontrolled undercurrents in SHIELD...
One is the good news. This alien really values feelings and cares about some humans on Earth...
This means that the possibility of the other party harming humans is greatly reduced.
Chapter 67. Howard's Box
Underground studio.
There are numerous different kinds of equipment arranged in an orderly manner, and in the center is a large workbench of 2*3 meters.
Lai Mu was standing in front of the stage fiddling with something.
A very delicate white bracelet, which looks the same as the one on his hand, or a couple's bracelet.
He planned to give this to Alice for self-defense.
It has positioning and communication functions, and can also emit infrasound waves in a targeted manner to paralyze people within 20 meters.
The infrasonic paralysis function is a technology found in the legacy left by Obadiah. After improvement, Lemu strengthened the power and added the sound wave directional capability.
Because the entire bracelet is an ultra-micro reactor, the standby time is more than 3,000 years. If necessary, it can be taken off and thrown away to act as a high-explosive grenade.
It took more than forty minutes, from design to assembly, to complete in one go.
Lai Mu looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.
Oh, but that’s not enough.
"Great Sage, please monitor Alice's condition at all times. If anything goes wrong with her, please notify me immediately."
'Oh. '
I always feel that this "oh" is a little reluctant. Is it an illusion?
"It's an illusion."
/——————
Early the next morning.
Lemu receives a message from Jarvis that Natasha and Nick Fury are visiting Stark Villa.
It seems that they are coming with boxes, and they are moving quite quickly...
When Lemu fell from the sky wearing the ghost armor, Natasha and Nick Fury were standing blankly outside the door of Stark Villa.
Natasha was a little surprised to see the demon armor, but she stood behind Nick Fury competently without saying a word.
She was wearing a black combat uniform today and holding a medium-sized safe in her hand. It was obvious that she was standing here as a bodyguard or follower.
"What's wrong, you two? Why don't you go in?"
Lai Mu walked out of the armor and waved his hand. The ghosts and gods automatically walked aside and stood quietly in the corner.
His attitude was cordial and friendly, and there was no sign of the one-eyed man who almost cursed at Fury over the phone yesterday.
Fury smiled and nodded, not looking embarrassed at all, "…out of respect, it is natural to be courteous when visiting someone."
Of course he wouldn't tell anyone else because he couldn't get in.
Since the last time Nick Fury broke into Stark's villa, Stark upgraded Jarvis and added Nick Fury to the blacklist.
This time, Fury wanted to use the same trick again and sneak in, but he found that his so-called masters could no longer deal with the upgraded Jarvis.
So I stood here alone for ten minutes.
"Okay, come with me."
Lai Mu waved his hand, not bothering to know why he was just standing there.
The group entered the villa and saw Tony Stark playing a game in the living room, a racing driving simulation.
He was sitting in a high-tech driving simulation game cabin, wearing a helmet, and looked like he was having a lot of fun.
The sound of the engine and tires rubbing against the road can be faintly heard in the helmet.
Lai Mu stepped forward and patted the iron shell of the game cabin, making a clanging sound. "Hey, there are guests coming, don't you know?"
Stark paused the game, took off his helmet, and shook his head. His neck felt a little sore after wearing the helmet for so long.
He glanced at the two people behind Lai Mu with contempt, "Of course I know. I don't want them to come in. Thieves and spies are not welcome here."
The thief refers to Nick Fury, and the spy refers to Natasha. Seeing the two of them together, Stark naturally guessed why Natasha had sneaked into Stark Industries before.
Nick Fury was a little dissatisfied, "Hey! How can you talk like that? We are here to save your life."
He took the box from Natasha, patted it, and sat down on the sofa with his legs crossed.
"You are going to die, don't you know it?"
Stark raised an eyebrow, "Of course I don't know... Who said I was going to die?"
Lai Mu smiled, "It seems that I said that... But that's not important. What's important is, what are you doing here?"
This slime asked the question even though he knew the answer. It was he who seduced others to send the box to him.
Fury looked at Stark and put the box on the table. "This is the box Howard left behind. Maybe your father can save your life."
"Oh, I've already saved him..."
Stark rolled his eyes and looked at Lei Mu strangely. This kid must have done something behind his back again.
"Okay, okay, leave the box here, and I won't see you off."
Lai Mu coughed and started to chase people away.
……
In front of the villa gate, Fury and Natasha looked at each other. Fury gave a fake smile for a second and shrugged helplessly.
As early as when he proposed the Avengers plan, Fury had already thought about it. He himself is a nanny. His responsibility is to provide logistics support for problem babies like Iron Man and solve various problems.
Isn't it normal to solve a problem and then be kicked out?
……
There was a line of English written on the box: 'Owner: Howard Stark'.
Stark sat on the sofa with his hand on the box. Before opening it, he glanced at Lei Mu and said, "What are you playing again?... Never mind. It doesn't matter."
Let him do whatever he wants. This guy has too many thoughts and Stark is too lazy to guess.
He opened the box and found a reactor design signed by Anthony Vanco and Howard Stark.
Anthony Vanco?
Stark didn't know him, and didn't really care.
There was also an old newspaper, two boxes of film, and some miscellaneous files, documents, and newspapers.
The most eye-catching thing is a thick notebook on the structural parameters of new elements.
Tony Stark took out the things one by one, flipped through the notebook, and a familiar photo fell out.
It was exactly the same photo that Stark had shown to Lemu before, a person who looked similar to Lemu, Howard and Howard's wife, and a Husky lying at the bottom.
The only difference is that in this photo, the word Tony is written crookedly above Erha's head, and the handwriting is unrecognizable.
"uh-huh?"
Stark tilted his neck hard, making a clicking sound. "Interesting."
Lai Mu stood by, his eyes scanning every object in the box, data streams flowing in his eyes.
However, the great sage did not find any new clues except the photos.
A bit disappointed.
Stark roughly flipped through the contents of Howard's notes, nodded in understanding, and sighed, "What is recorded here should be the same atomic structure as what you found in the city model. Their characteristics and parameters are almost exactly the same... The old man is really amazing."
It's a very uncomfortable feeling to have my deceased father step on something that I was most proud of.
Stark didn't know that Howard obtained the new atomic structure by studying the Cosmic Cube. He thought that his father had developed a new atom solely through his intelligence and knowledge.
Stark casually stuffed the tape into the projector and sneered, "Come and see. The old man left me something. I guess he still can't forget to teach me from a high position in there..."
Chapter 68. Monaco Grand Prix
In the video, Howard recorded the draft content of the opening introduction of the Stark Industries Exposition.
Howard stumbled through the recording several times, and each time he had to start over because of various mistakes.
Tony Stark smiled inwardly and felt a lot more at ease.
…It turns out that you are also a mortal, and there are things in the world that you cannot handle.
He saw the scene again, where little Tony Stark was touching the city model, which caused Howard's dissatisfaction, so he called someone to take him away.
Tony Stark raised his head and leaned back on the sofa, feeling a little unhappy.
In his impression since childhood, Howard is this kind of person. He never says he loves anyone, has a cold personality, and is very scheming.
"Tony..."
Suddenly, Howard in the video seemed to see Tony Stark in front of the video, and he shouted, as if they were having a conversation across the screen.
