Chapter 2 - Obelisk

==========

"Who are you? I don't know any Whitehall, you found the wrong person." Wearing big frame glasses, wearing a neat suit, and a successful person.

Although Sitwell was doing administrative work, he was an agent at any rate, and he was full of vigilance, so he rejected Daisy without thinking.

It was just as Daisy expected, and she said as if memorizing information: "In 1945, after Dr. Whitehall was arrested in Austria, the obelisk he had studied for a lifetime fell into the hands of S.H.I.E.L.D., and now the Dr. needs you to use the authority to take out the obelisk from the secret warehouse of SHIELD."

Inside the obelisk is the Terrigan crystal, but it needs to be opened in a special place. Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D., who don't know the truth, have studied it for fifty years and have gained nothing. Now this thing is completely shelved.

"Obelisk?" Sitwell doesn't know this thing, but he has confirmed the identity of the other party. The other party is a member of Hydra. Even if the estimation is wrong, at least he is still in contact with Whitehall.

"Dr. Whitehall will owe you a favor, I will contact you later, Hail Hydra!"

After saying that Daisy hung up the phone and quickly cleared the all traces on the network.

Sitwell hurriedly stood at attention with reflex, and gently replied 'Hail Hydra' to the phone. After speaking, he found that the other party had hung up.

As a middle-level cadre of Indian descent who can be both S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra at the same time, the bald brother does not lack vision and wisdom.

Among the loyal Hydra personnel who were arrested and took poison, he was considered a rare alternative.

He was threatened by Captain America once in the original time and space. If asked, he will tell you everything he knows. His integrity value is frighteningly low...

Different from the high-level Hydra who wants to conquer the world, different from the middle-level people who are dissatisfied with the political status of the agents, and the bottom-level people who have been fooled and brainwashed, he is greedy for life and fear of death and has serious speculative psychology. This is Daisy's analysis, taking into account all the intelligence.

Hydra's internal factions are mixed. Sitwell is Alexander Pierce, a direct line of the former S.H.I.E.L.D. Director, and they belong to different factions from the Whitehall mentioned by Daisy.

As a pawn under the big boss, he must have a sense of crisis, especially since his identity is not visible. As a smart person, he will not change the door, but one more way out is still very important to him.

In the next few days, Daisy has been secretly observing and tracking his cell phone signals, and roughly delineated a range of operations. Through clues on the Internet, she judged that the bald brother was indeed searching for the obelisk.

As for whether to inform his boss, the former director Pierce, Daisy thinks there is a 70% chance that he will not.

The bosses exchanged phone calls to finally solve the problem, and the favor became the boss's and then had nothing to do with him. It is a stupid thing no matter how you look at it.

 As a not-very-competent double agent, the bald brother is also ambitious. 

Daisy's roommate, the black girl Angela felt that she had been weird recently, and today she seemed to have seen something, so she ran out quickly.

Three minutes ago, Daisy observed Sitwell's cell phone signal leaving a certain shielded area. She felt, um, a woman's intuition that the other party had gained something.

Avoided the roommate, made a cover-up, and dialed the other party's phone.

"You move very quickly, Agent Sitwell." She first complimented the other party.

She couldn't see the live broadcast this time, but she could hear the other party's pride in his tone. The bald brother was a little proud and said: "The reading and transfer of the Obelisk requires level 10 permissions."

Daisy sneered, if it wasn't for Level 10 authority, I would still look for you? The other party had already acquiesced to her identity as Hydra. This was just asking for credit.

Raise her tone twice, Hydra does not pay attention to being gentle, courteous, and frugal, and being soft will easily arouse suspicion.

"This task is not difficult. There are hundreds of unknown things with no purpose. It won't be difficult for you to borrow Minister Pierce's authority!"

Suddenly hearing the name Pierce from her mouth, Sitwell confirmed her identity more and more, maybe she was a quasi-high-level, and his tone suddenly became a little flattering.

"Yes, sir, how can I give you the Obelisk? Would I have the honor to meet Dr. Whitehall?"

"Hehe" Daisy let out a murky laugh through the voice changer, and she changed her from his official name to..

"Jasper Sitwell, do you really want to see Dr. Whitehall?"

To deepen the impression of the other party, she continued: "You have checked the history of the obelisk. Do you know what happened to the people who touched the obelisk? How many researchers of SHIELD turned into stone because of this?"

After a while, she asked back: "Are you sure you are going to see Dr. Whitehall with the obelisk now? You know, after being detained for so many years, the doctor's mood has not been stable..."

Her words were cryptic, leaving a lot of blank space for the other side to fill in himself.

Brother Bald immediately thought of the scene where Whitehall would try to make him pick up the obelisk by himself, and treat his subordinates as his tool. This is the consistent policy of Hydra, which is not new at all.

So many people tried to pick up this unknown piece of metal and without exception, they turned into stone. Sitwell didn't think he would be an accident that could survive.

Between his own life and glory and wealth, he automatically chose his life.

At the same time, the brain made up that the guy on the phone would take away his credit in this matter, and would not even mention himself in front of Whitehall in the end.

Insidious enough, Cunning enough, this guy is indeed a Hydra.

Thinking that he had seen the other person's plan clearly, and his tone became less respectful. "The credit is all yours. What can I gain from this incident?"

"Safety guarantee, steady improvement, and a way out at critical moments, you don't think that there is only Minister Pierce in SHIELD? You should know that SHIELD is an important asset of Hydra."

Anyway, Daisy remembers that the bald brother can live for several years, so she just wrote blank checks.

She continued to encourage: "We can mobilize some resources to help you get promoted, so you can walk safely on two legs."

The bald brother, who was greedy for life, feared death and loved vanity, finally accepts the statement.

The phone quickly hung up, Daisy asked the other party to put the things in the trash can she designated, and hired a homeless man to take the things after the other party left.

In an alley, Daisy wore a hood and stunned the homeless man with a taser. She quickly glanced at the rectangular metal box with the cover number S.S.R.084.

It was unknown whether there was a tracker on the box. She put on gloves and pried open the box.

Inside the box is a polygonal metal obelisk over 30 centimeters high, which looks a bit like a Hercules cup from a distance.

Being pressed for time, she didn't have time to take a closer look, so she grabbed the obelisk with pliers and put it in her backpack. Then she ran into a chemical plant with the box and threw the metal box into a sulfuric acid pool.

No matter how magical the agents are, they can't find this box.

As for the obelisk, don't worry about it. This piece of technological equipment inherited from the Kree has a seamless appearance. It can disable electronic devices and turn the intelligent life of non-foreign descent into stone. With the current level of tech on Earth, they can't install a tracker.

Under the cover of the night, Daisy cleared the nearby cameras that captured her, then stopped a taxi and left the scene.
