A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

It seems that while Jack was imprisoned in the Hive, he suddenly gained an ability that was not a mutant ability, which appeared to allow him to control his clones.

And right now, the image that appears in the video looks remarkably like a photo of Jack a few years older.

This seems to make sense.

The person in the photo is Jack, but a clone of Jack.

As for what Melinda just said, all the clones in the Hive Base have been destroyed.

"Ah."

"Mei, do you remember when they destroyed it, they said they found two empty cloning chambers with liquid inside, but no clones?"

"remember."

Melinda thought about the information that the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents sent back last month: "According to the investigation, one of the sentences was that the clone in the cloning chamber should be Jack's clone. As for the other one, it seems... it's yours."

Natasha said, "What did Cipher say?"

Melinda recalled, "Sefer reviewed the monitoring logs of the two cloning chambers and confirmed that the two clones suffered irreversible damage during the cultivation process and were therefore discarded."

Natasha then asked, "Isn't it just that these two clones are missing?"

Melinda nodded firmly: "That's right. When we burned it, we carefully checked the quantity and the number of cloning chambers."

Natasha gave a cold laugh: "I understand."

What could possibly be unclear about this?

The answer is already obvious.

The only clones that disappeared were hers and Jack's. Then, Natasha's mind was filled with the conversation between Jack and her when they came out of the Hive.

That was outside the Hive, when Luke was confronting his new Texas lover, Heather, while she and Jack stood far away.

"I know what you're trying to say. I've already given the order: destroy them all. You'd better not try to sneak out a few."

"Destroy them all, that's such a waste."

"..."

Natasha pictured Jack, who looked disappointed but also seemed to have some ulterior motives after hearing those words, and couldn't help but let out another cold laugh.

obviously.

Even after her warning, Jack still chose to play a very novel game.

Good guy.

You really have no idea how I got the nickname "Black Widow".

You must be crazy.

Jack Allen.

Natasha took a deep breath.

"Commander, location."

"You want to go there?"

Hill immediately guessed Natasha's plan.

Natasha nodded immediately.

Hill refused outright.

"No."

"why?"

"Because now is not the time."

Hill said calmly, "If it really is Jack, then it only proves that I was right. Luke and the others really did have time to keep it from us. So, before we figure out what's going on, we must remain professional."

In a word.

Luke is unaware that his underling Jack has been exposed, so SHIELD can stay in the shadows and follow him to see what Luke is up to.

Hill believed that Luke would never send his most loyal henchman to Texas in this way without a reason.

Then the problem is coming.

What exactly is happening in Texas?

and also……

Who is the Asian man next to Jack in Texas?

Luke clone?

It should be impossible.

Hill thought of the cloning records he had accessed at the Hive base, which showed that Luke's DNA had been used to try to create clones.

However, not a single clone was ever formed. To put it simply, almost every one of them died in the womb.

It seems that everyone's clones can be cloned, except for Luke's, which is being prevented by an unknown force.

But if that Asian person wasn't Luke, then who could it be?

After Hill repeatedly warned Natasha not to act on her own, she hung up the video call, crossed her hands and rested them on her chin, her eyes darting around.

The most important thing.

If the one in Texas is indeed Jack, then, judging from this incident, Hill is increasingly convinced that Luke's trip to Eastern Europe, which has just been concluded as a "trip," is about to be put in serious doubt once again.

Hill snapped out of his reverie, opened the notebook in front of him, closed the situation report he was about to write, and reopened the summary of Luke's Eastern European trip compiled by the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.

Sokovia, Croatia, Albania...

None of this is a problem.

These places all have one thing in common: they are poor. But at the same time, it is undeniable that these countries have very beautiful natural scenery.

Both Rachel's and Lorna's social media accounts demonstrate this.

The only stop was Poland.

Hill carefully reviewed Luke and the others' itinerary in Poland, then seemed to remember something and glanced at Rachel and Lorna's social media accounts.

Rachel and Lorna's trip to Poland, while featuring beautiful scenery, seemed a bit rushed compared to their previous trips in terms of the sophistication of their photography.

No, we still need to see what's in that forest on the outskirts of Poznan.

Hill raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, and picked up the phone beside him.

"Ah!"

"..."

High in the sky, Luke, who was having a video call with Cipher, suddenly sneezed and rubbed his nose.

Seeing this, Cipher smiled and said, "Oh, who's thinking about you?"

Luke shrugged: "There are plenty of people who have their eyes on me."

Cipher rolled his eyes at Luke: "Is this because you messed with some woman of unknown nature when you were in Eastern Europe, and she's blaming you for leaving without saying goodbye?"

Lu Ke chuckled and said, "I never do the kind of thing that involves starting something and then abandoning it. I'm not that kind of person."

Cipher thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "That's true, I agree. You didn't start something and then abandon it; you just get bored with it."

Luke sensed the resentment in Cipher's words, and his lips twitched involuntarily.

"Where did this saying come from, that you're always looking for something new and getting tired of the old?"

"Heather Miller, the Texas girl you hooked up with two months ago."

"What's up with her."

"Didn't you promise to go see her in a few days?"

"..."

Lu Ke raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly: "Are you spying on me?"

Cipher rolled his eyes again: "I deal with the FBI or the military every day, and I also have to help monitor the clones in Stoneville and Kahn. I don't have time to monitor you. My daughter told me that. A daughter monitoring her father doesn't count as surveillance, right?"

Lu Ke suddenly realized.

"Alice?"

"Correct."

Cipher shrugged: "Obviously, you didn't say you wouldn't let your daughter spy on you, and your daughter sees that I miss you, so..."

Alice from Dimension Z is currently studying with Hela, but there is another Alice who has replaced Zola and become the intelligent hub of the Hive Base.

And that Alice in the red dress was created by Zola with all her might. It can be said that what Zola can do, Alice can also do.

Of course, at most, its processing speed isn't as terrifying as Zola's.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ke couldn't help but shake his head: "Alright, I do need to go to Texas in a few days."

The day before yesterday, when he was flying to Poland with Lorna and Rachel, he did receive a call from Heather Miller en route.

Heather seemed to be preoccupied with something on the phone, besides the fact that she had discovered Luke's true identity.

As Luke said.

Women are easy to coax, especially after Luke sensed that Heather had something on her mind, he immediately said that he would go to see Heather as soon as he finished what he was doing.

Of course.

None of this matters.

The trip to Texas was already in his plans, and the Heather incident gave him a plausible excuse and reason to go there.

Cipher simply shrugged.

"Look, they're fickle and easily bored."

"How can this be called being fickle and tired of the old?"

"You clearly promised to come find me as soon as you finished your business."

"……All right."
