"I wonder how that girl from the finance department is doing, Laura..." After kicking someone off the building, Natasha Romanoff acted as if nothing had happened and started meddling in Steve Rogers' love life.
But it seemed she wasn't a very competent matchmaker as she could only remember half of the girl's name—Laura something.
"Lillian, the one with the lip ring, right?" Steve Rogers did remember the girl.
"Yes, she's adorable," Natasha Romanoff said.
"Yeah, but she has quite an extreme taste," Steve Rogers commented.
"Ah!!!"
With a long scream, Jasper Sitwell was thrown up again, not by himself, but by Falcon Sam Wilson, who flew up to the rooftop.
"Zola's algorithm is a program used to select the targets for insight," this time, without waiting for questioning, Jasper Sitwell voluntarily spilled the information, still shaken from his recent fall.
"What targets?" Steve Rogers asked.
"You, a host in Cairo, the Deputy Minister of Defense, a high school graduate in Edwarda City, Bruce Banner, Doctor Strange, anyone who poses a threat to Hydra," Jasper Sitwell said, "whether in the present or the future."
"Future?" Steve Rogers asked, "How can they know that?"
"How could they not know?" Jasper Sitwell laughed, "The 21st century is a digital book, and Zola taught Hydra how to read it. Your bank records, medical history, voting patterns, emails, phone calls, even college test scores... Zola's algorithm evaluates people's pasts and predicts their futures."
"And then what?" Steve Rogers asked.
"Oh my God, Pierce will kill me," Jasper Sitwell didn't want to say.
"And then what!" Steve Rogers took a step forward and asked again.
"And then the Insight Helicarriers will eliminate the people on the list, all at once, several million at a time," Jasper Sitwell said slowly.
The screen went dark, and the video ended there.
"Eliminate potential Hydra enemies in advance, several million at a time," Bruce Banner couldn't help but say, "What a crazy plan."
"One time, several million, who knows how many times Hydra plans to do this?" Tony Stark said, "Although we don't know the exact number, listening to what that bald guy said, it's definitely not just once."
"No wonder Alexander Pierce wanted to kill Nick Fury and Captain," Thor said, "Their conspiracy is enormous."
"But we can rest assured. Now that we know about Project Insight, they won't be able to execute it," Steve Rogers said, "Zola's algorithm is the key to Project Insight. We already know that Zola is at the location where S.H.I.E.L.D. was founded. After we get out of here, we'll take care of Zola once and for all, so he won't be able to write the algorithm."
"Will this not alert the enemy?" Bruce Banner expressed some concerns.
"Zola is not the Winter Soldier. He's not that important to Hydra. Didn't you see in the video how Hydra killed him just to kill me?" Steve Rogers said, "We'll find a plausible reason, and besides, Zola was recruited by S.H.I.E.L.D. through the Project Paperclip. It won't be suspicious for S.H.I.E.L.D. to dispose of their own recruited scientist."
"No, Captain, I think we should keep Zola alive for now," Tony Stark thought for a moment and said, "We don't know how many Hydra agents are in S.H.I.E.L.D. A plan like Project Insight, which involves slaughtering millions of people, cannot be accomplished by just one or two individuals. It definitely requires a large number of personnel. Let Nick Fury keep a close eye on Project Insight, and we should be able to uncover many snakes."
"The two key elements of Project Insight are Zola's algorithm and the Insight Helicarriers," Bruce Banner said, "As long as we keep a close eye on these two points, Hydra won't be able to pull off anything."
"Captain, you can rest assured. I'll have J.A.R.V.I.S. keep a close eye on Zola," Tony Stark added, "I'll make sure he won't be able to write that algorithm."
"Alright, let's keep Zola for now," Steve Rogers said.
"Just now, that bald guy mentioned a few people while explaining the algorithm," Thor spoke up.
"That's right, he mentioned Doctor Strange," Tony Stark said, "This person has appeared multiple times in the options before. We speculate that he's a powerful magician. Nick Fury and I have been looking for him, but we can't find him. There are many people named Stephen Strange, but none of them are magic users."
From this, we can probably infer the approximate time when Project Insight will happen. It shouldn't be happening anytime soon," Bruce Banner said, "In the video, the bald guy knew Doctor Strange, and both you and Romanoff didn't show any surprise when he mentioned Doctor Strange. It's evident that you two already know him. But now, we can't find this person. This means that Project Insight will happen after Doctor Strange's appearance."
"Stark, you said you've been unable to find Doctor Strange?" Steve Rogers asked.
"Yes, everyone with that name is just an ordinary person, nothing special," Tony Stark replied.
"Could it be that he's still just an ordinary person, like you were before the desert incident, and hasn't learned magic yet?" Steve Rogers provided an idea.
"Just like Stark, he was just a playboy before the events in the desert," Bruce Banner said.
"I've also considered that possibility," Tony Stark said, "But if that's the case, we won't be able to find him at all. There are too many people named Stephen Strange, and this name is the only clue we have about Doctor Strange."
[This round of questioning is over, prepare to return.]
After Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, and Thor disappeared from the questioning space, Li Cheng couldn't help but stretch.
"I wonder what rewards I'll get this time. Even Captain America can fly now. If my reward is too bad, I'll be disappointed," Li Cheng said, filled with anticipation.
[Questioning completed, rewards are given.]
[Host gains Nightcrawler Kurt Wagner's teleportation ability.]
[Host gains Cyclops Scott Summers' ability to emit shockwaves from the eyes.]
"Teleportation + Eye-emitted shockwaves, these two abilities complement each other well," Li Cheng expressed satisfaction with this reward.
......
Still in that retro room, Steve Rogers and Nick Fury were having a conversation.
"Captain, based on the pattern of people being pulled into the questioning space, I think you might be pulled in as well."
"Me?"
"Yes, Captain."
"I've just been there."
"Just been there?" Nick Fury was slightly surprised, but not overly so. "Captain, who else was part of this round of questioning?"
"It was me, Tony Stark, Thor, and Bruce Banner," Steve Rogers said.
"All Avengers, huh?" Nick Fury then asked, "Captain, was there any important information in this questioning session?"
"Other than Ultron and Loki, we encountered another incredibly powerful enemy, Thanos," Steve Rogers briefly described the three giants' battle against Thanos.
"Motherf--ker," Nick Fury immediately turned into Nick F--kerman, "Why does Earth keep attracting enemies? Why are there so many of them?"
"But there's good news too. We'll have some powerful allies," Steve Rogers briefly mentioned Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, and Vision.
"That pair of siblings is not in the United States; that's troublesome," Nick Fury frowned slightly, "Searching for people overseas can be done by S.H.I.E.L.D., but it's hard to hide from the eyes of Hydra within S.H.I.E.L.D. Those siblings have special abilities and great strength. I don't want Hydra to know about them."
"At least we know that the siblings are in a specific country on Earth," Steve Rogers said, "The real challenge is Vision; he doesn't seem like an Earthling at all. I guess we'll have to search for him in space."
"Space?" Mentioning space, Nick Fury couldn't help but think of Carol Danvers, the woman who he still considered the most powerful among all the formidable individuals he had encountered after the questioning space arrived. Thor, Loki, Scarlet Witch, and even the supposedly terrifying Thanos were all formidable, but in Nick Fury's mind, Carol Danvers, also known as Captain Marvel, was still the most powerful.
"Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, and Vision are not easy to find, but right now, there's someone who should be relatively easy to locate," Steve Rogers said, "In the video, that person is a retired soldier with a pair of metal wings, capable of flying."
"A soldier?" Nick Fury finally felt somewhat relieved, "It's good to finally have someone easy to find. Captain, Stark recorded a video too, right?"
"Yes," Steve Rogers said.
Nick Fury immediately contacted Tony Stark, and not just him, but also Clint Barton and Natasha Romanoff, who were far away in India.
Originally, Nick Fury didn't plan to call Bruce Banner so soon, but since Bruce Banner had already been to the questioning space and now had the Clear-Minded Bracelet, it was time.
After all, Loki's invasion of New York wasn't too long ago.
Two days later, in an inconspicuous apartment in New York, a group of people held a secret meeting.
The attendees included Nick F--kerman, Captain America Steve Rogers, Iron Man Tony Stark, Hulk Bruce Banner, Hawkeye Clint Barton, Black Widow Natasha Romanoff, Phil Coulson, and Falcon Sam Wilson, whom Nick Fury had invited.
"Captain?" When Sam Wilson saw Steve Rogers, he was completely stunned, "You're still alive?"
"When I woke up, I was just as shocked as you are," Steve Rogers smiled, feeling a good impression of his future staunch supporter.
"Captain, it's really great to see you alive," Sam Wilson also smiled, "You're my idol."
"I hope that after talking to me for ten minutes, you won't think I'm crazy," Steve Rogers said.
"Captain, is there anything crazier than you standing in front of me and talking?" Sam Wilson asked.
"Wilson, believe me, what I'm about to tell you is even crazier than me standing in front of you," Steve Rogers said to Sam Wilson, "Before that, let me ask you a few questions."
"What questions?"
"Do you believe someone can die and come back to life 70 years later?"
"I didn't believe it before, but Captain, you're standing in front of me now."
"Do you believe there are gods in this world?"
"Captain, isn't that god standing in front of me?"
"I mean real gods, gods from myths and legends."
"Just as you said, Captain, that's just myths."
"Do you believe in extraterrestrial life?"
"Captain, is this a test or..."
"Do you believe someone can predict the future?"
"Captain, if you have a task for me, just tell me. I won't refuse, but right now, I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you're trying to express."
"Wilson, what I want to tell you is that all of the above questions are true," Steve Rogers said seriously, "Gods and extraterrestrial life exist, and one day they will come to Earth. And people who can predict the future are real too. Otherwise, do you think I'd be standing here talking to you? Before this, like you, everyone thought I was dead, but it was that person who can predict the future who revealed that I was not."
"Captain..." Sam Wilson opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
It seemed like Captain America wasn't joking, but what he said was too absurd, right?
"Don't force yourself to believe. I know what I'm saying is too unbelievable for you," Steve Rogers patted Sam Wilson's shoulder, "In fact, I don't expect you to believe right away. I just wanted to tell you in advance so that if one day you get pulled into the questioning space too, you won't be completely confused."
"Questioning space?"
"That's where you can predict the future. You'll know once you get in," Steve Rogers didn't say much more, "Alright, now let's move on to our discussion. You can choose not to believe or treat it as a story, but absolutely do not leak even a single word, understand?"
"I won't."
"Stark, go ahead," Steve Rogers said to Tony Stark.
"Sure," Tony Stark started to play the video he recorded in the questioning space. Not only from this time, but all the videos recorded before were played again.
Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson sat together, with Steve acting as the explainer, watching the video and quietly explaining it to Sam.
