A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

Naturally, the priority is to welcome Commander Maria Hill, who has traveled from afar, and to finalize the matters we have just discussed.

After Maria Hill shook hands with Luke, she paused slightly as she looked at the cooperation agreement Luke handed her.

"What's this."

"A cooperation agreement, obviously."

“I know this is a cooperation agreement.”

Hill raised an eyebrow, looked at Luke, and frowned, saying, "But is it really necessary to sign this?"

Lu Ke said seriously, "Signing this agreement is for everyone's benefit. In case of a breach of contract in the future, we will have an explanation."

Hill opened his mouth but stopped speaking, instead looking at the cooperation agreement in his hand, which was clearly printed recently and was still warm.

The cooperation agreement consists of three parts.

The first document explains why we are collaborating.

In order to hunt down "Cobra," the mastermind behind this "cloning crisis," the FBI's Los Santos field office and S.H.I.E.L.D. reached a cooperation agreement to share intelligence and exchange information.

The second part is about the benefits of cooperation.

The credit is 50/50, and the blame is 50/50.

Of course.

The Hive Base here belongs to Luke, and Dr. Zola the Omnic belongs to S.H.I.E.L.D. Neither party shall keep any written record of these two rewards, and they shall not be disclosed to any third party.

The final, third part addresses what to do if the cooperation breaks down.

In a word.

The party that causes the breakdown of cooperation has the right to pursue all the losses that the other party is entitled to and deserves.

The amount was not specified; it was to be discussed in person.

Ok.

Very formal.

Maria Hill glanced at it, confirming that it was an agreement that didn't seem to have any traps, and looked up at Luke: "Can I show this to my lawyer?"

Luke smiled and said, "Whatever, as long as you can make sure your lawyer doesn't leak the contents of the agreement."

Maria Hill smiled.

"Is it absolutely necessary to sign?"

"I like a sense of ritual."

Hill smiled, then asked Natasha for a pen, quickly signed his name, and handed one copy of the agreement to Natasha, then another to Luke. After that, his expression turned serious as he looked at Luke: "The agreement is signed, so can you tell me who Wu Xinmo is now?"

Luke handed the cooperation agreement to Jack, who was standing to the side, and then smiled at Hill: "Of course."

In a conference room of a temporary underground Hive base that had been cleaned up.

After Luke and Hill arrived and sat down, Luke drank bourbon with Hill while talking about the relationship between the Witchheart Demon, Whitehorn, and the Eye.

Natasha and Jack were also listening in.

soon.

As Luke narrates, a massive conspiracy spanning the real world and the world of the dead is revealed to Hill and Natasha.

The prince of the Hell Dimension, Wu Xinmo, plans to rebel against himself and become the ruler of the Hell Dimension.

Meanwhile, Cobra, founded by Daniel Whitehorn, who is rumored to have ties to Hydra, is also attempting to overthrow the order ruled by the five superpowers and become the master of the real world.

Thus, the Witchheart Demon and Whitehorn hit it off immediately, finding common ground in their wicked nature.

pity……

Because of Luke's involvement, the story that followed was one that Hill and Natasha had already heard before.

Luke has a henchman named Debbie, whose teacher is Cypher. Luke met Cypher, turned Zola, who was with Cobra at the time, to join him, then found Whitehead, killed Whitehead, and so on, and that's how the current situation came about.

Done.

Lu Ke swirled the nearly empty wine glass in his hand: "Perfect, I've finished this drink and I've finished talking. Ask me anything you want to ask."

Hill immediately asked, puzzled, "Why didn't you mention the matter of the Heart Demon before?"

Luke shrugged: "Like I said, I'm the FBI, you're S.H.I.E.L.D. Why should I give you credit for my work?"

This is a universally applicable answer.

As long as Alexander Pierce cooperates, Luke will give the same answer to anyone who asks, and there will be no problem with it.

Even if Quantico were to hold someone accountable, Alexander Pierce would have a way of handling it.

after all……

Luke has yellow skin, while Alexander Pierce has a true Onsa skin color.

Moreover, it's said that this guy's grandfather went too far.

Lu Ke thought to himself.

Hill had actually anticipated Luke's answer when she asked the question, so after hearing it, she didn't dwell on it too much and immediately changed the subject, asking the next question: "How did the war in Hell affect us?"

Luke laughed, and without hiding anything, he told Maria Hill directly how the Witchheart Demon planned to use the Netherstones of Hell to collect souls, and then use these Netherstones to create his own Netherworld and wage war against Hell.

Maria Hill listened with trepidation.

Natasha, who was standing nearby, was also amazed by what she heard.

Although S.H.I.E.L.D. has experience dealing with superhuman beings, the identities of the superhumans they have dealt with and the matters they have handled are still relatively unknown.

Regardless of his status or the importance of the matter, the level of what Luke was telling was absolutely unique and unparalleled.

After Luke finished speaking, he looked at Hill and Natasha, who were once again deep in thought, and chose not to disturb them. Instead, he picked up a bourbon from the side and poured himself another drink.

Natasha was the first to recover: "So, the reason why all the residents of Stoneville became clones was because Dr. White sacrificed them to this witch demon?"

Luke looked at Jack: "Is there a room with a six-pointed star pattern that connects to hell?"

Jack nodded: "We also found a wooden crate in a room next to the incinerator, but it was empty."

Luke nodded thoughtfully and looked at Hill: "It seems we're too late. The soul of Stoneville has probably already been sacrificed to the Witchheart Demon."

Hill frowned: "Aside from the difference in their souls, are these clones any other different from natural humans?"

Lu Ke raised an eyebrow.

"What's the meaning."

"If this matter is exposed, it will cause a huge mess."

"I know."

"What if it's not exposed?"

Hill looked up directly at Luke: "The entire town of Stoneville has been cloned, and Kahn City will probably suffer the same fate. After all, this base is located below Kahn City. We're not talking about a few hundred or a few thousand clones here, but tens of thousands."

Luke stroked his chin: "Commander Hill means to keep this a secret?"

Hill shook his head: "No, this is for the sake of the bigger picture. Those who need to know should definitely know. This is a very important matter. Neither you nor I can bear the burden of this."

Luke nodded.

Hill's words make the meaning quite clear.

Who is the person who should know?

Anyway, it wasn't those federal citizens outside who think they have the right to vote and can influence the selection of temporary workers.

Again.

People tend to show that they care a lot about what they lack.

The federal government is constantly chanting the slogan of democracy.

The same is true.

Luke was actually indifferent to Hill's suggestion.

The Hive Base does indeed have a six-pointed star magic circle that can communicate with Hell, and the souls of the citizens of Stoneville and Cain City have indeed been harvested by Dr. White.

He wasn't lying about that.

The best way to tell a lie without being detected is to make it seven parts truth and three parts falsehood.

In Luke's account, the Witchheart is real, Whitehorn is real, and Dr. White is real; Luke simply excluded Hydra and replaced it with Cobra.

"also."

With this in mind, Lu Ke met Hill's gaze, thought for a moment, and nodded, saying, "I suggest reporting this matter directly to the Council of the Five Overlords."

Hill laughed and said, "I thought the same thing on the way here, and I even made a phone call to Director Alexander Pierce about it."

talking.

Hill took out his phone from his pocket and dialed the number directly.

soon.

The call is connected.

Alexander Pierce's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hill."

“Director Pierce”.

Maria Hill placed her phone on the table, glanced at Luke, and then said into the phone, "Director Dane has agreed to our proposal. This matter can be reported directly to the Council of the Five Overlords."

Alexander Pierce hummed in agreement: “I know. I just came out of the white building. Before the report, the president wants to hear your briefing first. Perfect timing. You can tell Luke to fly over together.”

Maria Hill responded and then hung up the phone, looking at Luke.

Lu Ke stroked his chin.

"To see the President?"

"Correct."
