American Comics: BOSS Invasion

Qi Shan woke up from his sleep, a sense of panic from an unknown source almost overwhelming his mind.

Fortunately, in the next instant, these negative emotions from nowhere were directly transformed into golden energy and absorbed.

Qi Shan calmed down, pondering with some doubt.

What… is going on?

The clock hands overlapped at twelve o'clock, and smoky letters appeared before his eyes.

[There are twenty-four days until the next boss invasion.]

Then the smoky letters dissipated.

Qi Shan frowned slightly.

After the last Ant King invasion, the interval was extended to a month. Qi Shan was quite happy, finally able to live a peaceful life.

Unexpectedly, something else has come up now.

Gao Furen's entry into the parallel universe must have triggered something, but so far, Qi Shan has not discovered anything unusual.

Forget it, deal with soldiers when they come, and block with earth when water comes.

Just then, Qi Shan's phone rang.

He was slightly stunned.

Qi Shan's phone is not an ordinary mass-produced item, but a product manufactured by Dr. Kurotsuchi Mayuri and modified by Nemu Kurotsuchi. Although it doesn't have many functions, it can use spiritual particle signals to penetrate the main world and Soul Society.

It's a bit like the principle of the World of the Living monitors in the Twelfth Division, the Technology Development Bureau.

He answered the phone, and Rukia's voice came from inside.

"Archbishop, S.H.I.E.L.D. is in trouble!"

Qi Shan narrowed his eyes: "Hydra?"

"Yes, they have surfaced!"

"I know! Follow Coulson closely, and don't hold back when it's time to fight!"

"Yes!"

Hanging up the phone, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Qi Shan's mouth.

It seems that his plan can also begin.

At the hospital, Natasha, Hill, and Captain America stood before the hospital bed, where Nick Fury's body lay.

Unexpectedly, he was attacked there again.

This time, a bullet pierced his chest, and Nick Fury only had time to leave a sentence before losing consciousness.

Captain America quickly rushed him to the hospital.

During the rescue process, the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. was alarmed.

After all, this was the supreme commander, the head of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Unfortunately, after several hours of surgery, it was still declared a failure.

It was this reason that led to the opening scene.

Natasha closed her eyes, tears silently falling.

She turned and walked out of the ward. Captain America quickly followed, not noticing Hill's consistently indifferent and calm expression as she stood aside.

"Natasha?"

"Why would Fury run to your house?" Natasha suddenly turned her head, her eyes filled with questioning.

Captain America was somewhat at a loss, shaking his head and saying, "I don't know either."

Just as he was about to explain further, a commando suddenly walked over and said, "Captain, the agency wants you to return!"

"Okay, just a moment!"

"The agency wants you to return immediately!"

The commando's tone was very firm, completely different from before. Captain America glanced at him, vaguely guessing something.

He looked at Natasha and said, "I'll talk to you later!"

He turned and left, the commandos immediately following, two in front, two behind, and one on each side, appearing like a VIP protection formation, but in reality, it had the feeling of escorting a prisoner.

Captain America was ninety-five years old this year. For most of his remembered time, he had spent it on the battlefield. He knew what these actions represented.

Captain America remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he became vigilant.

Recalling Fury's last words, telling him not to trust anyone, he was certain that there was a problem within the agency.

At the same time, Natasha received a call.

At S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, in the Director's office, the five permanent members of the World Security Council simultaneously appeared on the virtual screen.

The device was activated so suddenly that it startled Director Pierce, who had been standing by the window, enjoying the outside scenery.

"Hey, everyone! It's nice to see you, even though today isn't a scheduled meeting day!"

Pierce appeared natural and witty.

But those who truly understood him would notice that the gaze hidden behind his glasses had become sharp.

"Pierce, you don't have to pretend. The Council already knows about Nick Fury's matter!" The director from the Asian region said unceremoniously.

Pierce said, "Oh, then rest assured, S.H.I.E.L.D. will handle this matter properly. Whoever killed him, S.H.I.E.L.D. will definitely not let him go…"

"We're sorry, but that's not what we meant!"

A white female director said expressionlessly, "The Council has already investigated and found out that the previous yacht kidnapping incident was orchestrated by Nick Fury himself. He wanted to use despicable means to delay Project Insight. We have reason to suspect that he had other purposes."

Another director said, "It may be a bit inappropriate to say this, but the Council feels very fortunate about Nick Fury's death. After all, with a King of Spies of his caliber, it's hard to imagine what the consequences would be if he had different ideas!"

Pierce said angrily, "Nick was my friend. He fought for world security his entire life. You shouldn't treat him like this!"

"He is indeed worthy of respect, but as members of the Council, we need to be responsible for the safety of the entire world. I'm sorry, Pierce, the Council has decided that Project Insight must be restarted immediately! Regarding the key algorithms, we need you to resolve them. Any problems?"

Pierce said, "Are you forcing me to resign?"

"There's nothing to argue about, Pierce. Everything is for the greater good!" The directors emphasized forcefully.

Seeing their firm attitude, Pierce reluctantly agreed.

In reality, he was infinitely excited. Hydra's dream of controlling the world was about to be realized.

They had been lurking since World War II, growing stronger in the shadows, gradually eroding S.H.I.E.L.D., growing within it. Now, they were finally about to break out of their shell and step into the world of light.

How could he not be excited?

However, having been in a high position for many years, he had long cultivated a demeanor that did not reveal his emotions.

The emotions he showed were all what he wanted to show. The true thoughts in his heart had never been exposed.

"From the current situation, the previous T.A.H.I.T.I. proposal needs to be re-discussed."

"Looks like it, indeed!"

"Then…"

"Let's pass it, but only give limited support, requiring them to assist S.H.I.E.L.D. to ensure the smooth implementation of Project Insight!"

Pierce sensed something was wrong: "Wait, what are you talking about?"

One of the directors revealed a strange smile: "T.A.H.I.T.I.!"
