Framing and Slandering

"Richard Parker, a biologist, works for the Osborn Group," Wei Xiuming said very seriously. "His research topic is reptiles, using their biological characteristics to integrate into the human body to achieve the goal of curing human diseases. I have obtained some experimental data, and the bodily fluids of specially cultivated organisms have the ability to turn humans into superhumans, but later there will be gene conflicts, and the user will mutate into a monster fused with that specific organism... Does this description sound very familiar to you?"

"I know this technology because in my era, it has already been deciphered by scientists, and it is no longer a patent exclusive to Shuka. To solve the Xenomorph problem, I replicated this technology using the technology of this era, and even used the technology that created me."

"However, Richard Parker, with his own team, has achieved this epoch-making technology. According to his data, it is already close to maturity, but for some reason, he has always claimed to be researching it. It's like the mass-energy equivalence equation, E=mc², which any modern elementary school student can write, but in Einstein's era, it required a unique way of thinking and a large amount of complex and rigorous calculation to derive."

The new era that began after the end of the Cold War saw a change in the way wars were fought. Information was ranked first in importance in military operations. With mastery of information, even a small country could sink the fleet of a superpower in some harbor.

Even the G.I. Joe, who were depicted as omnipotent in America's movies, could fight mutated creatures and beat up alien visitors, flying through the sky and diving into the sea—but in reality, without the information provided by satellites and overwhelming artillery support, they might not even be able to defeat the border guards of a small country.

Wei Xiuming possessed information that made it impossible for others to discern truth from falsehood. In some aspects, he held the right to interpret information, so people could only listen to what he said.

Nick Fury thought for a moment and finally said, "I will handle this matter."

Richard Parker was not only a biologist but also a part-time S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. It was Nick Fury who recruited him into S.H.I.E.L.D. Richard's spouse, Mary Parker, was also a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, and the two even met because of a S.H.I.E.L.D. mission.

A while ago, after having a child, Richard, who had long since stopped his agent activities, took the initiative to contact Nick Fury regarding this matter concerning Wei Xiuming.

Although S.H.I.E.L.D. had informants, the Osborn Group's security was very tight. Wei Xiuming's human experimentation was unknown to the outside world except for the researchers and test subjects directly involved. However, Richard, relying on his agent experience, discovered clues from traces, especially after Wei Xiuming took his experimental data.

Richard knew firsthand how powerful his research project was. If it were misused, he would be a sinner. To prevent this possibility, he was willing to destroy his own life's work.

Logically, Nick Fury should have acted as an intermediary to introduce the two parties, verifying their identities to dispel any misunderstandings. However, this king of agents, with his suspicious nature, did not do so.

The Parkers would leave Osborn Industries with their research data and start a new life under new identities, continuing their research under S.H.I.E.L.D.'s protective surveillance, or embark on a new project.

Wei Xiuming looked at the bald man and pondered before continuing to deceive him: "If you really take any measures against them, remember not to use lethal means. Doctor Death, who was mainly responsible for Shuka's human modification project, was not originally part of Shuka. He was a biologist who, due to the accidental death of a loved one, shifted from human modification to urgent research on resurrecting the dead. The leader of Shuka provided him with sufficient funding and test subjects to retain this talent."

"Do you remember what I said before? Just like the Terminator movie series, ruined by feminism and political correctness, perhaps it is because I, who saved humanity, came from my era to this era, that I distorted the timeline, leading humanity to its demise."

Nick Fury fell silent. Regarding time travel, no one other than Wei Xiuming had the right to speak, and Wei Xiuming would inadvertently leak certain information.

Just as Chinese people use idioms in their daily lives to express their thoughts, some words that seem insignificant are actually excerpts from ancient texts passed down for thousands of years. They are concise and represent the cultural heritage of ancient civilizations.

In Nick Fury's understanding, things that Wei Xiuming, "from the future," took for granted actually held great significance for this era. Some of his seemingly casual remarks contained a lot of information.

For example, he had already confirmed that Coulson would be the next director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and would live to retirement without dying in office.

More than a decade ago, inspired by Captain Marvel Carol Danvers, he formulated the Avengers initiative, which was successfully executed in the future, with the Avengers actively working for the future of humanity.

"Besides Shuka, how is the investigation into the other threats I mentioned to you? Vampires, Mages, highly mature artificial intelligence... etc. Please notify me immediately if you find any trace of them. The corresponding Knight System needs to be developed in advance to be perfected," Wei Xiuming continued. "The technology related to the Knight System in my era is already mature, but recreating it in this era is equivalent to starting a new project."

"Develop the corresponding Knight System?" Nick Fury asked with some confusion. "Are there different plans for the Knight System?"

Nick Fury had already learned about the Knight System experiments, which was one of the reasons for his meeting with Wei Xiuming. To be honest, the capabilities of the Knight System were beyond his expectations. It was like people in the steam age could not imagine how they would land on the moon, but it was a miraculous fact.

If he hadn't seen aliens and spaceships more than a decade ago, and someone who could repel an entire fleet single-handedly, the emotional fluctuations hidden beneath Nick Fury's expressionless face would have been even more intense.

But the wearer of the Knight System, the military pilot Sonon, was just an ordinary person. He hadn't injected serum, nor had he gained superpowers from the explosion of a high-energy engine. He simply put on a suit of armor and obtained miraculous power—a power born by chance and unrepeatable could be called a miracle, but a power that could be mass-produced and scaled was what Nick Fury valued.

Even though Sonon was later rushed to the hospital due to his body being overloaded, it was insignificant compared to his achievements.

Wei Xiuming nodded and said, "Yes, the Knight System will also appear in the near future of this era, but to avoid unnecessary trouble, I have concealed its true name and codename."

"Its developer was a person with extremely high talent and vast resources. Initially, the Knight System was a purely mechanical product, balanced in all aspects, with no shortcomings or outstanding advantages. Later, when facing various enemies, it was often maliciously targeted. He then collected data on various enemies and upgraded or redeveloped the Knight System specifically for them individually or as a race—but due to the lag in information and the one-sidedness of the data, the Knight Systems developed were usually destroyed by the targeted enemies. By the time the Knight System was truly perfected, the disasters caused by the targeted enemies had usually been resolved, and the finished product could only be stored in the basement as a collection."
