Hydra.
In fact, Lockhart had already thought of it when he met S.H.I.E.L.D.
After all, the current S.H.I.E.L.D. can actually be said to be part of Hydra. It would be strange if Lockhart knew this but didn't take it to heart.
However, he actually didn't interfere too much with Hydra and just wanted to let nature take its own course. Because of some things, Hydra needs to stay.
For example, in the destruction of S.H.I.E.L.D. like the movie he watched, he planned to plunder S.H.I.E.L.D. of its treasure.
As for the so-called treasure, apart from some information and resources, the most important thing is the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents themselves.
Every S.H.I.E.L.D. agent has been carefully trained by S.H.I.E.L.D. Their minds, experience, and abilities cannot be said to be top-notch, but they are basically above average. Moreover, they have all experienced bloody baptism, undergone rigorous training, have strong execution capabilities, and are definitely not saints. The most important thing is that there are a lot of them.
Whether it's the Harry Potter world or the Marvel world, he needs people like this to do things. For example, keep an eye on some people, search for some resources, deal with the Muggle government, or cooperate with wizards to do some things.
Lockhart has even begun to plan how to give ordinary people certain extraordinary abilities. When the time comes, he can use them for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and it will definitely play a big role in some small battles. It would be better if some S.H.I.E.L.D. agents have good mental talents. Natural combatants are ideal.
Therefore, in Lockhart's eyes, S.H.I.E.L.D. is actually a piece of delicious cake.
Obviously, under the watchful eye of the Ancient One, he could not take action directly, otherwise he would be directly regarded as a threat.
Lockhart maintains a good business relationship with S.H.I.E.L.D. Isn't this just a foreshadowing for the future? He never did anything for free, including giving gifts, and his purpose was always clear.
However, Hydra's actions already made him a little dissatisfied. The helicopter pursuit was a bit too much, and the opponent even used missiles, a large number of missiles, to bombard them.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Lockhart made a decision in his heart.
S.H.I.E.L.D. Building, Director's Office.
Nick Fury sat at his desk, looking at the man and woman in front of him with an indifferent expression.
"Hill, tell me, there were a total of 9 missiles over New York City and we only received the information after the incident was over. What do your regulatory agencies do?"
Nick Fury sat on a chair, looked at his deputy Maria Hill, and asked in a dissatisfied tone.
"Director." After hearing Nick Fury's question, Hill was slightly silent. After a moment, she slowly said: "You are right. This is indeed a negligence of the regulatory department. Someone in the bureau deliberately blocked the information. I have arranged for someone to investigate."
After hearing this, Nick Fury was still a little dissatisfied: "Three days, you must give me a satisfactory result after three days."
"Okay, Director." Hill was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly. The three days were a bit tense.
In order to ensure accuracy, people from the regulatory department must check it, which takes a lot of time. If other departments want to check, it will also take a lot of time. When she thought of this, Hill's anger welled up in her heart. She was in charge of the supervision department, but such a big mistake was made. This was a slap in the face.
After Nick Fury saw that Hill's matter was done, he asked Coulson next to him.
"Coulson, you are responsible for Professor Wizard's affairs. Now tell me the information you have."
"Okay, Director." Coulson nodded and began to say: "According to the analysis of the intelligence department, these nine missiles originated from the military. One of them exploded on the Atlantic coast. There are no clues about the other eight missiles."
"What is certain is that Professor Wizard has the ability to transfer space on a large scale."
"Tell me, has the intelligence department already made a plan for the wizard professor to infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D.? And after this incident, how do you predict the wizard professor will react?"
After hearing the director's question, Coulson paused and then slowly said: "Director, because S.H.I.E.L.D. currently does not have an effective means of confining space, the current solution is to use cameras, heat detectors, and other equipment. If there is an abnormality, an alarm will be issued immediately, allowing us to respond to the infiltrating enemies in time. This is the current plan."
At this point, Coulson saw Nick Fury nodding slightly before continuing: "As for the wizard professor's reaction. Based on the personality characteristics prediction we made, the other party will obviously retaliate. However," Coulson paused slightly and continued, "According to previous information analysis, Professor Wizard has the ability to influence people's minds and memories. So, Professor Wizard is very likely to get the other party's information and take action directly."
Hearing this, Nick Fury nodded secretly, thought for a while, and said directly: "Coulson, please contact the Wizard and try to cooperate with him to explore the roots of this organization."
S.H.I.E.L.D. Building, Mirror Dimension.
At this moment, Lockhart is walking in the mirror dimension. The surrounding environment is the headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D.
The mirror dimension is a reflection of reality. Whatever exists in reality can generally be reproduced in the mirror dimension as long as it does not involve too many extraordinary factors. Generally speaking, there is no one inside the mirror dimension, only objects. But for a Sorcerer who has delved deeply into the magic of the mirror dimension, they can peer into everything in reality through the mirror dimension.
As for Lockhart, since he knows that S.H.I.E.L.D. is the headquarters of Hydra, he shouldn't put too much thought into it, and it would be best to solve it directly from the source. Of course, he knew that S.H.I.E.L.D., as an agent headquarters, must have a very strict monitoring mechanism. So just in case, he specifically chose the mirror dimension instead of being invisible.
Now Lockhart is on the 8th floor of the Building, based on the information he just obtained from the minds of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. Here is information from the intelligence department. Lockhart believed that the intelligence department, as the core of S.H.I.E.L.D., would be of great concern to Hydra. Maybe, the key figures of Hydra can be found here.
Lockhart looked around, watching a large number of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents constantly sorting out the information in their hands, making phone calls, constantly communicating, and recording, etc.
Suddenly, Lockhart's eyes narrowed and he saw a relatively familiar bald agent.
