"Mr. Pivot, I have no ill intentions."
The voice was soft and charming, with just the right amount of respect.
But the door didn't open. What she was waiting for was a wave of Psychic Power crossing the door and invading her mind.
The woman's body suddenly stiffened.
The prepared rhetoric, the client behind it, and the training she had received were all forcibly pulled out. She didn't even have time to organize her thoughts, and the memory was already spread out page by page, allowing the person in the room to view it.
In the suite, Lucian leaned on the bed and touched his nose.
"Hydra?"
As soon as S.H.I.E.L.D. finished Battle of New York, the internal Hydra came to the door. It seems that this group of people is not only well-informed, but also moves much faster than Nick Fury.
The woman outside the door came from a private consulting company, and her resume was very clean. There were several layers of connections behind the company, and she was finally connected to an organization whose name she didn't even know.
Unfortunately, identity can be forged, but memory cannot.
The task she received was simple.
Get close to Pivot, test your needs, and establish long-term contact.
For this purpose, the other party prepared three chips.
A large amount of funds from untraceable sources, a special serum said to be able to strengthen the human body, and herself.
Beauty seduces, plus money, plus strength.
A very standard solicitation package.
"What rubbish serum."
Lucian saw the information about the serum from her memory and immediately lost interest.
Compared with the Super Soldier Serum used by Captain America, this thing secretly improved by Hydra has more flaws. Not only is the upper limit of enhancement limited, but it also has a high probability of causing physical distortion and mental problems.
To recruit him with something like this?
Loki had to praise him for his courage when he saw it.
As for the woman outside the door, she is indeed very beautiful. Her figure, appearance and conversation have been specially selected. Unfortunately, Lucian is not interested in this kind of woman who comes to the door with a clear purpose.
However, Hydra's intelligence channels all over the world are barely useful.
Eternals has been hidden in human society for thousands of years. Some people have left clear traces, while others have completely disappeared from the crowd. It is not difficult to find Kingo by searching online alone, but it is not so easy to find all the others.
Hydra has been operating for many years, infiltrating governments, military and intelligence agencies of various countries, and has an astonishing amount of secret files in its hands.
It's perfect for finding people.
Outside the door, cold sweat broke out on the woman's forehead.
She wanted to raise her hand to knock on the door, but found that she could not move her arms at all. Her consciousness was very clear, but her body no longer seemed to belong to her.
No one in the mission briefing had ever told her that the other party could control his mind through the door.
The information was so wrong.
Just when she was about to struggle, Lucian's voice sounded directly in her mind.
"Go back and tell your people that I am not interested in funds, serum, or you."
The woman's eyelids twitched and she tried to maintain her composure.
A scene was directly burned into the woman's mind.
They were several different faces, both male and female, with clear features as if they were standing in front of her. Kingo, Sersi, Druig, Ikaris, Gilgamesh, and several Eternals members whose faces Lucian still remembers, were all inside.
Since Hydra took the initiative to deliver it to your door, let them look for it together.
As for whether the other party will find out that these people have special identities, that doesn't matter.
If Hydra really dares to take action, he will only test Eternals's ability for him.
"Help me find these people."
The voice of Lucian sounded again.
"Find them and I can help Hydra with something."
The moment the words Hydra appeared, the woman's breath stopped for a beat.
She really didn't know the real client, but the organization had taught her how to deal with emergencies during training. The more times like this, the less she could admit anything.
"Sir, I only represent Adamantium Consulting. I have never heard of the Hydra you are talking about."
"Have you heard of it? Go back and ask your superiors."
Lucian is not surprised by her harsh words.
Hydra If any peripheral personnel knew the entire organization, it would have been uprooted long ago. How could it have been able to hide in S.H.I.E.L.D. and develop for decades.
However, he was not interested in checking up the layers.
"Take my words back as they are."
"I found it, and I will fulfill my promise."
"If you can't find it, don't blame me for coming to find you personally."
When the ultimatum fell, the terror Mental Power that enveloped her disappeared without a trace in an instant, as if it had never appeared.
The woman bit the tip of her tongue, and the pain restored some of her chaotic thoughts.
"Yes, sir."
"I will convey your request in full."
She held onto the wall, took a few breaths, and without saying any more probing words, turned around and walked quickly to the elevator.
The mission has failed.
No, it should be said that the two sides were not on the same level from the beginning.
She thought she was here to negotiate, but the door was never opened from beginning to end. The other party only read her memory through the door and knew everything she needed to know.
Even Hydra was directly clicked.
The elevator door closed and the woman immediately took out her cell phone.
"There has been a major change in the mission."
The other end of the phone asked, "He refused?"
"No, he made a condition."
Woman wipes sweat from her forehead.
"Also, immediately connect me to the person in charge."
In the room, Lucian has taken back Psychic Power.
It's just a small thing.
Hydra wants to win over him, and he just needs Hydra's intelligence network. Both sides get what they need, so there is no need to clear out all the people now.
What's more, it's just a one-time promise.
It's up to him to decide how to help.
Lucian raised his hand and flipped it, and Mind Stone Scepter appeared in his palm.
The blue gem exudes soft light, and spiritual energy flows slowly along the body of the staff.
Controlling a few ordinary people, amplifying their inner negative emotions, and then releasing energy attacks will not truly unleash the power of Mind Stone.
The blue shell outside the gem is more like a layer of restriction.
The real Mind Stone is inside.
However, it is not easy to take it out.
Infinity Stones's power far exceeds the limit that ordinary life can bear. Lucian is not prepared to touch it with bare hands.
Lucian closed his eyes, Mental Power carefully explored it, and began to try to explore the majestic power originating from the universe Essence.
Two hours later, the woman's report finally appeared on the desktop of Alexander·Pierce after being forwarded several times.
Several experts sat in front of the computer and reconstructed the portrait based on the images left in her mind.
Print the first photo.
Then came the second and third pictures.
Pierce picked up the photo and his eyes stayed on Kingo's face.
"Pivot didn't see her?"
The subordinate replied in a low voice, "No. From the beginning to the end, the door was not opened."
"Then how are the looks of these people transmitted?"
"Appeared directly in her mind. The technical department checked and she did not lie or take hallucinogenic drugs."
Pierce put down the photo. It is extremely maneuverable, can survive in outer space, and is destructive enough to destroy an alien fleet. Now Mental Intrusion is added.
Their understanding of Pivot is probably less than one tenth.
The most troublesome thing is that the other party knows Hydra.
But Pivot did not reveal it, nor did he kill the person who came to his door. Instead, he proposed a deal.
That's enough.
At least he is not the kind of superhero who is full of justice. As long as he is willing to negotiate terms, cooperation is possible.
"Send the photo."
Pierce raised his head.
"Call all available channels. Check facial recognition, entry and exit records, old files, and intelligence databases of various countries."
The subordinate took the photo.
"Once found, do I need to arrest him?"
"If he wants to find someone, we will help him find someone. Let's see if he will keep his promise after finding someone."
Inside New York Sanctum, Ancient One, dressed in yellow monk robes, slowly stopped using Time Stone.
The overlapping images disappeared one after another.
She looked in the direction of the hotel, raised her hands and closed Eye of Agamotto.
"That's all, let him be."
