A blue projection appeared before their eyes.
It was a very ordinary photo. However, the environment seemed to be inside a secret base.
Rhoddy, who was the colonel of the Defense Department, was responsible for investigating the explosion case. Thus, he immediately recognized it and said in surprise, "This is the military base that was blown up by the Ten Ring Gang!"
"Kid, take a closer look at this photo. Tony, what can you find?" Natasha ignored Rhoddy and hinted at Tony.
"This is..."
Tony narrowed his eyes and checked carefully. Suddenly, he saw a blurry image of hollow in the photo. His expression changed slightly. "You won't tell me that it was hollow who caused the explosion, right?"
"Yes, and there are similar figures at the other places of the explosion." Natasha sighed. As she swiped the photos on the tablet, a projection flashed past.
All the photos, without exception.
In the seconds before the explosion, there was a huge and blurry image of hollow. From his appearance, he looked like a monster.
Hollow.
Tony was silent and looked serious.
Natasha was not in a hurry to urge him. She continued to tell him the clues about the explosion. "After the explosion, we detected a large amount of remnant spirit particles. However, we were unable to determine if they belonged to the same one."
"Wait."
At that moment, Rhoddy, who had a dumbfounded expression on his face, could not help but ask, "What exactly is that 'hollow' you two are talking about?"
Natasha looked at Tony. Seeing that he did not seem to have any intention of hiding anything, she roughly explained, "You can interpret it as a type of demon that has fallen after a human dies. It is just that ordinary humans are unable to see them."
"A demon that has fallen after a human dies?" Rhoddy opened his mouth wide. He even felt that he had heard wrongly and confirmed it again. "Today is not April Fool's Day. Are you sure you are not joking with me?"
If he did not know that this charming woman in front of him was actually S. H. I. E. L. D.'s senior agent, he would have already laughed out loud.
What era was this?
There were actually people who believed in the so-called souls, or even demons.
"I'm not joking with you."
Natasha rolled her eyes and rolled her eyes at him. "There are some things that you can't know at your level, so it's best not to ask anymore. Otherwise, you know the confidentiality regulations yourself."
"..."
Rhoddy suddenly felt that it was a little ridiculous.
He was a dignified colonel of the Ministry of Defense, the personal bodyguard of the president, and a war machine pilot. Yet, he was actually called 'not enough' by others!
However, this also proved that the Nine Explosion Case caused by the Ten Ring Gang and Mandarin was far from as simple as it seemed on the surface. There seemed to be even deeper secrets behind it.
Tony was inexplicably a little agitated. He scratched his messy hair and said, "If it involves hollow, you can look for Frank and Rogers. Why do you have to come to me?"
"That's what we planned." Natasha sighed helplessly and said, "But unfortunately, Rogers went to deal with another thing. Frank can't be contacted, so only you are left."
"Isn't there still..?" Tony originally wanted to say his name, but after looking at Rhoddy who was beside him, he felt that it was better not to say too much, lest his friend be dragged into this.
"Do you think we dare to go?" Natasha rolled her eyes at him.
This was also true.
The chaos caused by the space gem last time had attracted the attack of the four major teams, death god. It had almost destroyed the entire New York City. S. H. I. E. L. D. was now afraid to avoid it. How could he dare to ask Lod for help?
Tony's mouth twitched and he said irritably, "Can I refuse?"
"The director said, if Tony refuses, then tell him this." Natasha imitated Fury's tone and said, "I helped you block a lot of trouble for the last incident at Huaqi Bank. Although the favor is not very big, it should not be a problem to ask you for a favor, right?"
"..."
The moment these words came out, it undoubtedly poked Tony's weak spot. He did not like owing others favors.
If not for the incident at Huaqi Bank last time, and if not for the fact that Fury had blocked the news and withstood the higher-ups' interrogation and investigation, who knew how much trouble he would have caused here.
Moreover, from another perspective, Fury had indeed kept his promise and did not reveal anything about the Weeping Angel. Otherwise, with the abilities of those higher-ups in the US, who knew what kind of disaster would happen.
The favor he owed the soy egg had to be returned.
Moreover, from a certain point of view, from the moment hollow appeared, this matter was not just a simple terrorist attack.
A criminal organization that planned a terrorist attack could actually manipulate hollow to attack at will. The purpose was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface. That group of people should have a deeper level of conspiracy. If he did not figure out the reason behind it, his conscience would not go over.
Tony finally sighed and nodded. "Tell Fury that I agree."
"Thank you, Tony." Natasha breathed a sigh of relief. She took out a USB flash drive and put it on the table. "This is the information of the Nine Explosion Case and the information that S. H. I. E. L. D. has collected about Reishi. I hope that I can help you find out the truth as soon as possible."
The task had been completed. Natasha turned around and left without hesitation.
Tony picked up the USB and put it in his pocket. He got up and was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something. He turned around to look at the confused Rhoddy and said, "I plan to go out for a while. You can go back first. I won't be sending you off."
"..." Rhoddy.
What a bastard who had lost his sense of sex. He even refused to go, but when he saw the beauty begging him, he immediately disarmed himself. He even boasted in front of the president and said that he had a good relationship with this bastard.
...
...
...
Stark's seaside private house, underground parking garage.
Among the many limited edition luxury cars, Tony randomly picked one and sat on it. As the sexy engine roared, the entire sports car was like a fierce wild horse that was released from its reins. In an instant, it turned into a red lightning bolt and rushed out.
Along the ring-shaped road by the sea, a sports car drove into the city along with the roar.
Not long after, the sports car stopped in front of Queens. In front of an old-fashioned wooden house, there were three big words "Quiet Spirit Pavilion."
Tony came down from the sports car and walked to the door. He thought about it and pulled the doorbell. When the familiar voice of the man came from inside, he took a deep breath, pushed open the wooden door and walked in.
"Dear Lod, long time no see!" Tony's face was full of smiles as he warmly greeted.
"We only met a week ago."
Lod was lying comfortably on the sofa, crossing his legs and holding a newspaper. He sneered, "Alright, stop being so hypocritical with me. With your personality, you definitely wouldn't come to find me. Tell me, why are you looking for me?"
"There is indeed a small matter that I want your help with." Tony was indeed a capitalist. His skin was thick enough to be comparable to a city wall. After seeing that he was exposed, he did not hide it anymore. "Recently, I need to investigate an explosion case related to hollow. It might use death god's power."
Lod put the newspaper aside and looked at him. "Are you going to ask me to help?"
"It has nothing to do with this."
Tony shook his head and said, "I just want to ask you, is there any way for me to completely hide my spiritual energy fluctuations when I don't use death god's power?"
Lod thought about it and said, "There are two ways."
Tony was overjoyed and could not wait to ask: "What way?"
"The first way, the Onmitsukidō of 2nd Division, has a way to not leak out the perfect aura." Lod said here, said: "But it's a pity that I don't know this method, unless you find them to learn it yourself."
"Uh.. I think it's still okay. What about the second method?" Tony shrank his neck. He couldn't avoid it in time. How could he go to the 2nd Division? Unless he wanted to die.
"gigai."
Lod revealed a meaningful smile. "I just happened to have a new batch of goods here. It is very comfortable to wear. Most importantly, this special gigai can completely erase the fluctuations of Reishi. Even the captain will find it hard to find."
Tony's eyes lit up. "That's right, this is it. I want it!"
"Ten million."
Lod smiled like a profiteer. He rubbed his hands together and said, "May I ask if you want to swipe your card... or cash?"
"So cheap?"
Tony raised his eyebrows and threw out a check. "Fifty million, you don't have to look for the rest!"
