Chapter 1846 EP1847. Talos

After contacting Nick Fury, there was no unnecessary nonsense.

Holding up his mobile phone, pointing the camera at the screen suspended in mid-air, and playing the short video recorded by Betty Ross from the beginning, Shi Xiaolei asked straight to the point: "Fury, do you have anything to say?"

"..." Watching the video being played quietly, until General Ross appeared in the screen as the prototype of the Skrull, Nick Fury on the other end of the phone smiled bitterly, shook his head, and spoke. Response: "Well, it seems we can't hide it. Let's meet wherever you are."

"As you can see, this is the top floor of Stark Tower." As he answered, Shi Xiaolei scanned the surrounding area with his camera.

"OK, I understand, give me half an hour."

I wanted to say, 'I can open a portal to pick you up,' but suddenly I thought that the other party might not be at the SHIELD headquarters, but in a secret base whose location cannot be exposed...

Swallowing back the words that came to his mouth, Shi Xiaolei smiled faintly: "Okay, we'll wait for you here in half an hour."

"See you later."

"See you later."

After ending the call, he put his phone back in his pocket and looked at Betty Ross. Shi Xiaolei's expression was more relaxed than before.

"If nothing else, the matter should not be as serious as we thought before. I mean...if your father really passed away, and it was still the responsibility of the Skrulls, from his position, he would definitely not behave like this. dull."

"I hope it's the same as what you said." Hearing Shi Xiaolei say this, Betty Ross also relaxed a little.

However, as the daughter of General Ross, she still felt a little uneasy at this time and did not dare to relax completely.

Fortunately, Bruce Banner is also there, and there is also wine provided by Stark, which can help calm Betty Ross's mood.

Time passed by minute by minute.

While passing the time chatting, they waited for the arrival of Nick Fury.

More than twenty minutes and less than half an hour later, the sound of engines was heard in the sky, and a Quinjet fighter jet appeared outside the top floor of the Stark Building.

The platform connected to the hall through an open-air walkway could only hold up Stark's steel armor at best. It is simply not something it can withstand if it is replaced by a Quinjet fighter that weighs more than ten times more than the armor.

The area is also a bit smaller, making it difficult to stop a Quinjet.

Therefore, Nick Fury did not let the plane land, but kept it suspended while jumping directly to the platform from the hatch at the back.

Seeing the scene of Nick Fury's arrival through the glass, the four people waiting indoors all stood up from the sofa.

at this time.

"Sir." Ultron's voice rang: "There's something wrong. According to my scan and comparison with the records in the database, the one who's coming now doesn't seem to completely match."

He didn't expect Ultron to speak out at this time, and Stark was somewhat surprised.

And after hearing what Ultron said...

Not only Stark, but also Shi Xiaolei showed surprised eyes.

Looking at each other, Shi Xiaolei nodded slightly, and reminded Bruce Banner and Betty Ross, who were still confused: "Stay alert, this guy coming here may not be Fury."

"Huh? Oh, okay."

As soon as he finished speaking, Nick Fury had already passed through the automatic door and entered the room.

"I'm not late, am I? Good afternoon, gentlemen, and Ms. Ross."

No matter the body shape or appearance, or the tone and demeanor when greeting him, they all looked very natural, without any flaws.

However, with Ultron's reminder just now, everyone took it seriously and were not fooled by the person in front of them.

Taking a step forward, Shi Xiaolei took the initiative to pick up the conversation: "A few minutes earlier than the agreed time, you came on time. Sit down and chat, Fury... No, maybe I should call you Talos?"

Since accepting Carol Danvers's suggestion and temporarily settling on Earth, the group of Skrulls headed by Talos has formed a cooperative relationship with Nick Fury.

To put it simply, it is to use the special abilities of one's own family to provide support for Nick Fury, complete some of the work and tasks assigned by him, in exchange for the care of Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D.

Sometimes he will take on the appearance of someone else to obtain the information Nick Fury needs.

Sometimes, they will turn into key figures, such as witnesses, to help stage a drama of a golden cicada escaping from its shell or secretly plotting against Chen Cang.

If some important person suddenly disappears or dies, the Skrulls will take on his appearance and step in for a while to help stabilize the situation and alleviate the chaos until the storm subsides.

Although they are not very good at fighting, and their role in frontal combat is not even as good as that of a low-level agent, but with their own racial abilities, the Skrulls have actually solved many problems for Nick Fury, and they have made a real contribution. Made many contributions.

Especially Talos as the leader.

On the one hand, it is because Nick Fury got to know him when he was a low-level agent, and together they helped Carol Danvers find herself again, and finally won the victory against the Kree. On the other hand, it is also because the life and death of the Skrulls are in the hands of Nick Fury. As the leader, Talos must consider his tribe and family, and he does not dare to play tricks with Nick Fury, let alone betray him. Covenant... In short, from Nick Fury's perspective, Talos is a very useful and trustworthy helper.

Therefore, Nick Fury arranged a very special task for Talos - when he was in need, Talos would transform into him and do something on his behalf.

The existence of a substitute, or a shadow warrior, can only come in handy when no one knows about it. If everyone knows it's fake, it won't work.

In order to better play the role of the Skrulls and to ensure their safety, Nick Fury did not reveal any information to others at all. In the entire S.H.I.E.L.D., he is the only one who knows about the existence of Skrulls.

Yes, even Coulson and others, whom Nick Fury trusts most, have never heard about the Skrulls.

Talos has done it more than once by appearing in front of Coulson and others in the form of Nick Fury and giving them orders on Nick Fury’s behalf.

No one has ever been able to spot the flaw, let alone call out his real name directly to his face. From Talos's point of view, he has long been used to "pretending to be Nick Fury and not being seen through".

And now...

Shi Xiaolei actually called out Talos' real name.

"..." After a moment of silence without saying a word, 'Nick Fury' smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Although I had already guessed that this scene might happen on the way here, at this moment, I really heard When you called my name, I still felt a little...well, this feeling is so strange, I don't know how to describe it."

"I just tried to shout." Shi Xiaolei shrugged, smiled and stretched out his right hand: "Nice to meet you, Talos."

"Me too." After shaking hands with Shi Xiaolei, Talos returned to his original appearance.
