Then the camera switched again, this time to inside the elevator, where a group of people were standing.
It was none other than Jasper Sitwell, Crossbones Rumlow, and several other Secret Service agents.
Just as Hawkeye Barton guessed, it was the standard setup for S.H.I.E.L.D. to move important items: a commander plus a rapid response team.
“Captain, have you noticed?” Tony Stark discovered something very interesting. “The people in the elevator are the same group that attacked you in the elevator last time! This is really interesting.”
In the "killing" of Nick Fury, Captain America was beaten up by a group of people in the elevator of the Tri-Wing Building.
Those people are precisely the group of people currently inside Stark Tower!
This is such a coincidence, it's unbelievable.
"Really, Captain?" Black Widow couldn't help but glance at Captain America, sighing slightly, "It really does feel like destiny."
Captain America simply stared at the big screen and didn't say anything.
"The evidence has been taken into custody. We'll go find Dr. Lister right away!" Sitwell's voice rang out. He was on the phone with someone in the elevator. "No, unsurprisingly, Minister."
Minister!
These four words caused everyone present to subtly change their expressions.
Given Jasper Sitwell's background, this minister is very likely Alexander Pierce.
Then a basic judgment emerges: Sitwell is now officially an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., and he should be responsible for Nick Fury, not Pierce!
Is Nick Fury dead, or is Pierce also a Hydra agent?
With this question in mind, everyone continued to watch how things unfolded.
With a clang, just as Sitwell hung up the phone, the elevator doors suddenly opened, and Captain America appeared in everyone's sight.
Sitwell and his group visibly changed their expressions slightly.
Clearly, they had no idea Captain America would appear and were caught off guard.
"Captain, I thought you went to coordinate the search and rescue operation," Sitwell asked Captain America tentatively.
"The plan has changed!"
Captain America responded calmly, seemingly oblivious to the strange atmosphere, and strode into the elevator.
"Hey Captain!" Crossbones Rumlow greeted Captain America in a very professional manner.
“Rumlow!” Captain America replied calmly.
Immediately, the elevator fell silent, and the atmosphere visibly began to turn sour.
Some of the rapid reaction force agents even secretly placed their hands on their sidearms, seemingly ready to take action against Captain America at any moment.
This scene is exactly the same as the one where Captain America was "beaten up" in the Tri-Wing Building.
It's practically a reenactment of the scene.
"Does anyone want to leave before we make a move?"
Tony Stark even subconsciously thought that Captain America was about to blurt out that line.
This time, however, Captain America didn't show off like that.
He took in all the subtle movements of everyone present and calmly said, "I just received a call from the minister. I'm in charge of the scepter matter."
"Sir, I don't understand." Sitwell wasn't stupid; he immediately looked at Captain America with suspicion.
“We’ve received word that someone might try to steal it!” Captain America explained to Sitwell.
"I'm sorry, Captain, we can't hand over the scepter to you," Crossbones said to Captain America with a serious expression.
“I need to call the chief!” Sitwell pulled out his phone and was about to make a call to verify.
“It’s alright, trust me,” Captain America said meaningfully, then leaned close to Sitwell and said, “Hail Hydra!”
Sitwell's face immediately showed surprise, clearly not expecting that Captain America would also be a Hydra agent.
Crossbones Rumlow was also slightly taken aback, then revealed a sly smile, as if he was excited to find that Captain America was in his team.
Clang!
The elevator doors then opened.
Captain America came out carrying a large suitcase.
Clearly, what was inside the box was the so-called "scepter".
Clang!
The elevator doors closed again, and Captain America couldn't help but smile.
The image freezes on Captain America's smiling face.
"Captain, I didn't know you could use tactics too. I have to say, that really surprised me," Black Widow said with a smile, glancing at Captain America.
Captain America has always been portrayed as brave, righteous, fearless, and willing to sacrifice himself—all things that are noble, glorious, and righteous.
His sudden "deception of Hydra" truly shattered everyone's usual perception of him.
However, that video just now can be said to have dispelled the doubts that Captain America had previously faced.
Anyone who isn't blind or mentally challenged can see at a glance that Captain America's "Hail Hydra" was merely a ploy to trick Sitwell into handing over the scepter, nothing more.
"There are two issues we need to focus on right now," Captain America said, not responding to Black Widow's teasing, but instead giving a serious summary.
"The minister that Sitwell contacted is most likely Alexander Pierce, right?"
Although he used the word "right?", Captain America's tone was actually quite certain.
Since participating in the quiz and collaborating with Nick Fury, Captain America has gained a considerable understanding of S.H.I.E.L.D., including its personnel structure.
There is no ministerial-level position within S.H.I.E.L.D.
The only ones who can be called ministers are the ministers of the World Security Council.
Of course, the World Security Council does not have just one minister, but there is only one minister stationed at S.H.I.E.L.D. to coordinate between S.H.I.E.L.D. and the World Security Council.
Alexander Pierce.
Therefore, it is obvious that the person Sitwell contacted must be Pierce.
“It’s hard to accept… but if Sitwell is also Hydra, then Pierce is very likely to be Hydra as well,” Hawkeye Barton couldn’t help but say from the side.
"According to S.H.I.E.L.D. procedures, Sitwell should be responsible to the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and it is not in accordance with procedures for him to contact the Secretary directly."
"However, there may be some special circumstances, so Sitwell is directly communicating with the minister, which I can accept."
“But we all saw it: Sitwell reported to Pierce in private, but in front of the captain, he said he was going to call the chief.”
Why?
"This shows that this matter should have been the responsibility of the bureau chief, not the minister! That's why he called the bureau chief in front of the captain, an outsider."
“That sounds very reasonable!” Thor nodded in agreement. “And the fact that your S.H.I.E.L.D. has been infiltrated to this extent means that there must be Hydra agents at the highest levels, very high-ranking ones.”
Black Widow and Captain America remained silent. Based on the content shown in this video, Pierce is indeed highly suspicious.
“Besides Pierce’s problem, there’s another thing we need to pay attention to: the scepter,” Captain America said again.
"That thing is something that Hydra, Stark and I are all fighting over. Whatever it is, it must be something very important."
"We cannot let Hydra get it."
Everyone naturally agrees with this point.
Hydra is an evil organization, similar in nature to Nazi Germany, and is a public enemy.
Everyone has the right to kill him.
What Hydra wants to obtain, it is something that must be stopped without hesitation.
"It's a pity that the scepter was kept in a box the whole time, and we never knew what kind of scepter it was."
Dr. Banner said with some regret.
Scepters are a general term for a type of item, specifically a "walking stick" used by ancient emperors to symbolize royal and imperial power.
If you only know the name "scepter" but not any other related information, there is no way to conduct any analysis.
"So what we need to be careful about is an antique?" Hawkeye Barton shrugged.
"Or rather, it's a weapon," Thor added.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that everyone's gazes were a little strange.
"What's wrong? Isn't a scepter a weapon here? Loki uses a scepter, and maybe some wizards on Earth use them too," Thor asked, glancing at everyone.
“That makes sense!” Captain America nodded after a moment of thought. “After experiencing so much and learning so much, we really can’t think about things with the old ways of thinking anymore.”

[Friendly reminder: Those who answer correctly will be rewarded with the Dot-Line Magic Eye skill;]
Those who answer incorrectly will have one attribute of their own deducted randomly, including but not limited to knowledge, experience, skills, possessions, etc.
After the new question appeared, everyone temporarily stopped discussing and turned their attention back to the big screen.
The person featured in this question is someone that everyone finds quite interesting.
"The Scarlet Witch, the witch who appeared in the Civil War, Wanda Maximoff, a powerful sorceress."
Black Widow spoke first, and then briefly introduced Dr. Banner and Hawkeye Barton to each other.
"So magicians really exist. I always thought they were just things in movies and novels." Hawkeye Barton couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
“Barton, you need to open your eyes and see this world again,” Tony Stark said sternly to Hawkeye Barton.
"By the way, Stark, have you found anything out about Scarlet Witch?"
Then, Black Widow couldn't help but turn to Tony Stark and ask him a question.
During the previous round of questions, Black Widow not only used her Sharingan to copy Scarlet Witch's appearance, but they also learned Scarlet Witch's name.
