S.H.I.E.L.D.,Rat Prison.
The Rat is a very old prison in S.H.I.E.L.D.. After the end of World War II, Strategic Scientific Reserve, the predecessor of S.H.I.E.L.D., used it to imprison most of the HYDRA members.
Red Skull's later HYDRA leader Wei Knull Reinhardt, later Daniel·Whitehall, was imprisoned here.
It was not until 1989 that Alexander Pierce, then a member of Security Council, released him on the grounds that "he was just an ordinary researcher in the country, and it was not his fault that he chose the side of the war."
Since then it has been suspended from use.
But now, this long-dormant prison has reopened!
It's just that S.H.I.E.L.D. used it to imprison HYDRA members, but now HYDRA uses it to imprison S.H.I.E.L.D. members...
Richard, accompanied by Thomas, came to Holding Room of Rat Prison.
Walking along the long corridor, under the dim light, the surrounding buildings look very old.
The red brick walls are not painted, and the door of Holding Room is also a very old-fashioned large iron door...
Thomas led the way diligently. "Boss, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s former director Nick Fury is currently being held in Room 521 at the end of the front..."
Richard nodded in response, while looking left and right at the people in Holding Room.
As he walked, his steps suddenly stopped.
"Agent Coulson, we meet again~"
Phil Coulson walked to the door of Holding Room at some unknown time and looked at Richard outside Holding Room through a square gap the size of his head.
"Richard, I didn't expect to meet here again..."
"What I didn't expect is that you are actually a HYDRA..."
Richard did not refute, he is indeed HYDRA now, and he is still the biggest HYDRA...
He pointed at Holding Room's door and ordered, "Thomas, help Agent Coulson open the door~"
Thomas responded quickly, "Yes, boss!"
He immediately took a large bunch of keys from his belt.
"313...313... Found!"
'Squeak~'
Holding Room's door opens.
Phil Coulson stood there, but made no move.
Richard saw this and couldn't help but smile and joke, "Why... are you afraid it's a trap?"
Phil Coulson smiled bitterly and shook his head, "No, I have seen your strength. If you want to kill me, you can do it with just a finger."
He straightened out his somewhat wrinkled black suit before stepping out of Holding Room.
At this time, the voice of Melinda May suddenly came from Room 314 opposite Room 313.
"Coulson, be careful of fraud!"
Coulson looked at Melinda through the square gap. He smiled gently and said, "Don't worry, Mei, Richard is different..."
Melinda replied coldly, "HYDRA is not worthy of trust!"
In Room 316 next to her, Sharon Carter also said, "Melinda is right, Agent Coulson! HYDRA is not worthy of trust!"
When Richard saw this, he couldn't help but sigh, "The prejudices of people's minds are like a big mountain..."
He continued to walk forward, but after taking two steps, he suddenly stopped again and pointed at the doorway of Room 315: "Thomas, open the door~"
"Okay, boss!" Thomas didn't ask why, he took out a bunch of keys, quickly found the key, and opened Holding Room's door.
A young girl ran out quickly, knelt on one knee in front of Richard, and said with great respect, "Crimson Nun Guard Yvette·Oliveira, I have met the Lord!"
Richard stretched out his hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Yvette, get up."
Yvette responded respectfully, "Yes, Lord!"
Phil Coulson stared at this scene dumbfounded and shouted, "Yvette, you, you..."
Melinda May of Room 314 and Sharon Carter of Room 316 also said in unbelief, "Yvette?!"
Yvette nodded apologetically to the three of them and silently retreated behind Richard.
Phil Coulson smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect you to be HYDRA..."
Yvette bit his lip and replied in a low voice, "I'm sorry for lying to you, Agent Coulson, but I am not HYDRA~"
Phil Coulson was stunned when he heard this, then he waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter... HYDRA or other special agent organizations, there is no difference..."
"This S.H.I.E.L.D.... I don't know when it was penetrated. It's already full of holes!"
Richard suddenly said in front, "Agent Coulson, what kind of people do you think HYDRA is?"
Phil Coulson replied without hesitation, "A group of lunatics! A group of terrorists who endanger the stability of the world!"
"Really..." Richard chuckled, and suddenly asked, "What about Dr. Lilith Frick, Dr. Albert Powell, Agent Jolie Garfield, Agent Boss Chandler Chandler..."
"These people have made outstanding contributions to the world, and their names are engraved on the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy's 'Monument of Valor'..."
Phil Coulson's face instantly turned pale, and he trembled in disbelief. "It's difficult, is it possible that Dr. Lilith and Agent Boss Chandler are all... all HYDRA?!"
"Alas~" Richard sighed lightly, and he turned to Thomas and nodded.
Thomas immediately puffed up his chest and said loudly and proudly, "That's right! They are all members of HYDRA!"
As soon as these words came out, fierce rebuttals and curses immediately came from the surrounding Holding Room.
"Fuck Fuck! You're lying!"
"Asshole, how dare you slander Dr. Abel's reputation!"
"Let me out, bastard! I'm going to blow your head off!"
Thomas responded directly and loudly, "I didn't lie! They are all HYDRA, but they also sacrificed their precious lives in order to maintain the peace of this world and fight against evil!
"Fake Squid, boy, you are lying!" An angry shout came from Holding Room not far ahead, "Lilith did not hesitate to test the medicine with his own body in order to develop Felt Flu Virus's special medicine..."
"She paid the price of her life to develop the special medicine. How dare you slander her as HYDRA! I will kill you! I will definitely kill you!!!"
Thomas glanced at Holding Room who heard the voice, and suddenly said, "It turns out to be Commander Victor·Sanchez. You, who are respected as 'Iron Hand', are in the eyes of countless people a tough guy who would rather break than bend!"
"But few people know that... when you face Lilith Frick, you are just a silent and cowardly admirer..."
"Fake! You, how do you know!" Victor Sanchez immediately asked angrily.
Thomas's nose felt sour, and two lines of sad tears fell from the corners of his eyes. "Because this is what sister Lilith told me personally!"
"Lilith... Sister?!" Victor Sanchez was confused.
Thomas said sentimentally, "Sister Lilith's grandfather and my grandfather were close friends... They were both members of HYDRA..."
"Sister Lilith inherited the tradition of her ancestors and became a HYDRA..."
"But what happened to HYDRA? Does it mean HYDRA is a bad guy?! Do you deserve to be considered a terrorist by you?!"
He suddenly stiffened his neck and said angrily:
"The Phil special virus drug developed by sister Lilith has saved thousands of children!"
"Aunt Qiaoli jumped into the sea holding a bomb in order to save hundreds of civilians!"
"And Uncle Boss Chandler... Uncle Abel..."
"HYDRA, like you, has made countless sacrifices for this world!"
"But why?! Why can you, a bunch of bastards who look down on others, stand on the moral high ground and judge us arbitrarily?!!!"
Faced with Thomas's almost roaring question, the scene was completely silent...
All the imprisoned S.H.I.E.L.D. members fell silent...
