As soon as he heard that MI6 and SHIELD were going to fight, the gray-haired police chief became anxious.

He ignored Dior and walked towards the second floor. He could hear the noise in the conference room two or three meters away. The police chief quickened his pace. One was the country's intelligence agency and the other was an international spy organization.

, if a fight really breaks out here and some international disputes arise, his career will be over.

The police chief walked to the door, took a few deep breaths to calm his rapid heartbeat, put a friendly smile on his face, opened the door and walked in.

As he entered, the talking and arguing in the room stopped.

In the conference room, separated by a table, two groups of people were clearly separated.

The person on the left wearing a dark suit and meticulously groomed hair is someone from MI6. Sitting at the front is Agent Daniel, who is leading the team this time.

He and Zhang Ming were acquaintances. They had worked together on the big boss incident, and they had intermittently contacted each other and exchanged a lot of information.

Corresponding to MI6, on the right are Coulson, Skye, and Zhang Ming, who do not belong to any organization and are considered observers.

The police chief cleared his throat: "Hello, I am the chief of the London Police Department. Regarding the omnic, we can discuss it slowly. There is no need to quarrel-"

"There is nothing to discuss." Agent Daniel of MI6 said: "Since the Avengers are involved, we are willing to give up 'Katherine' to SHIELD, but after all, it happened in the UK, and we hope to send a

The agents act together with SHIELD and have the right to know the subsequent series of intelligence."

"No, no, no." Coulson said with a sincere expression: "The omnic manufacturing company, the victims, and related persons are all in the UK. My colleagues from MI6 must join the mission."

"Huh?" The police chief was stunned for a moment. Why was it different from what he had thought before coming? Shouldn't the two groups of agents be quarreling over Catherine's research rights? How could they start to show humility to each other?

The director had just arrived and did not understand the previous situation. Zhang Ming sat there and listened for a long time, and he had already heard that there was a problem.

After SHIELD collapsed and was reorganized, it was severely short of manpower and was much weaker than before in terms of intelligence collection, so Coulson wanted to bring MI6 in and use their intelligence network to promote the investigation.

Of course, people from MI6 are interested in this case, but considering the scale of incidents that SHIELD has encountered in the past year, it is completely beyond their ability to bear. Blindly joining in will have an unimaginable impact on the organization, and in serious cases, even

may affect national security.

After all, S.H.I.E.L.D. is an international spy organization and does not need to answer to any single government. Unlike MI6, they are the eyes and ears of the United Kingdom. Once something goes wrong with them, it will affect the operation of the entire country.

Of course, they couldn't completely ignore the omnic murder incident. As Coulson said, this incident happened in the UK, so Daniel proposed to arrange for an agent to join the project team and feed back key intelligence in real time. As a deal,

He was willing to hand over Catherine, who was caught by the London police.

It was impossible for Coulson to agree that MI6 would only collect intelligence without any effort, so the two shrewd men started an endless argument with false smiles.

Zhang Ming is really not good at this kind of situations. When he was still in college (it seems a long time ago), he joined the student union with his roommate. Later, he chose to quit the student union because he couldn't stand the frequent meetings and reports.

Be a dormitory nerd.

Let's leave the negotiation matters to the experts, Zhang Ming thought, stood up, pretended not to see Skye's eyes asking for help, and quietly slipped out of the conference room.

As soon as I walked out, I saw Dio standing at the end of the corridor.

"Is the situation serious enough for you to come over?" Dio handed over a can of hot coffee.

"Why do you say that?" Zhang Ming took the coffee, opened it and took a sip. He stood by the window and looked at this ancient city.

"In my impression, you should be regarded as the trump card of the Avengers. Usually only the most serious things will make you take action... isn't it?" Dio asked.

"That's pretty much what you said." Zhang Ming said, "But this time it's different. I was just too idle and just wanted to find something to do. I heard that you were at the crime scene and witnessed the whole process? How did it feel?"

"I rushed over after hearing gunshots. When I arrived, Catherine's omnimachine was beaten to pieces, and then she jumped into the flames with the victim in her arms. As for the feeling you mentioned..."

Dio fell into memories, his eyelashes trembling slightly. After ten seconds, he continued:

"I felt strong emotions."

"She wanted to protect her master, no, her family, she wanted to protect him, and for this she did not hesitate to kill people or destroy herself."

"This emotion exceeds the limitations of chips and machinery. It is like an invisible but splendid fireworks. Anyone who sees it with their own eyes will never forget it."

Dior's words caused Zhang Ming to pause while drinking coffee. After a few seconds, he came back to his senses and asked, "Are you going to say it so exaggeratedly?"

"I'm not exaggerating at all." Dior said seriously.

Zhang Ming nodded noncommittally, and then they chatted about some things related to the case. After about ten minutes, the door of the conference room opened, and Colson and Daniel walked out hand in hand with a smile. It could be seen that both men were very interested.

Got a satisfactory answer.

Catherine was put on Coulson's special plane, and Fitz and Gemma, who had just finished their investigation, would arrive in a Quinjet to conduct a detailed study of the out-of-control omnimachine.

The special plane parked at the London Airport. After the MI6 people left, only Zhang Ming, Colson, and Skye were left on the plane. Skye, who had been silent, finally got a chance.

"Maybe things are not as bad as we thought." Skye looked excited, with a bit of expectation and joy.

"So far, the two known omnic killing incidents have one thing in common, that is, their starting point is 'goodness'. They awaken human emotions and commit crimes in order to protect the most important people. If we can

Give the omnics proper guidance and things will get better."

"What do you think?" Coulson did not immediately give Skye an answer and instead asked Zhang Ming for his opinion.

Zhang Ming said: "If they are just machines, then there is a mastermind behind the killings; if they really awaken emotions, then while there is 'goodness', there must also be 'evil'. And evil is always more hidden and more subtle than good.

It’s harder for us to detect and more dangerous.”

"But..." Skye wanted to refute, but couldn't think of words to refute.

Coulson sighed: "I mentioned before that May went to the Middle East, and she was also investigating omnic murders." He clicked on the electronic screen on the table, and a blurry video appeared.

The picture was dim and shaky, filled with gunshots, grenade explosions, as well as Arabic swear words and cries of pain.

"This is a local war that broke out in a small town in southern Syria. Due to political factors, this is a country living in war. Of course, politics is not what we need to study-" Colson pressed pause and pointed

A soldier holding a gun.

"Watch him."

The picture continued to play, and the soldier was quickly hit by a stray bullet and fell to the ground, with bright red blood flowing out. Just when Zhang Ming thought that a young life was about to disappear like this, the soldier suddenly stood up again.

Covering the wound on his abdomen, the blood miraculously stopped, and then he continued to fight as if he couldn't feel the pain.

"He is an omnic, an omnic soldier disguised as a human!"

In order to hide its identity, it also changed the blue bionic fluid to red. Zhang Ming's spine felt cold, and he quickly asked: "Did the omnic take the initiative to hide its identity, or is there a manipulator behind it?"

If it's the latter, then there's at most one super villain, but if it's the former...

That means that the forces belonging to the "evil" side have already begun to take action, secretly sneaking into human beings, and seizing political power through local wars.

Colson shook his head and said: "Not sure yet. This footage was taken by May 52 hours ago, and she is still investigating."

Zhang Ming and Skye looked at each other and saw deep worry in each other's eyes.

Before morning arrived, Fitz and Gemma, a pair of scientists, rushed back. Regardless of rest, they got off the Quinjet and immediately devoted themselves to the research on Catherine.

Fitz studied the mechanical and chip structure, Gemma analyzed the external bionic components, and Skye provided support at the software level. The three top experts in their respective fields finally found the reason after seven hours of busy work.

"That's it." Fitz pointed at the screen.

"What is this?" Zhang Ming asked. There was a long series of garbled characters on the screen, and I couldn't understand what it meant.

Skye explained: "This is what we found after analyzing the Catherine core chip code one by one. In fact, the problem is already obvious."

Coulson showed a look of realization.

Seeing that everyone understood, Zhang Ming raised his little hand: "Sorry, my understanding of computers is limited to Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V. Can you explain it in detail?"

"Programs that can be directly executed by the computer are represented in the form of binary coding inside the machine, that is, '0' and '1'. However, Catherine's coding also has these in addition to the two numbers '0,1'."

Skye nodded to Fitz.

Fitz operated on the computer, and the garbled code was shrunk and densely occupied the entire screen. At the same time, the garbled code was marked with hundreds of different colors.

"We conducted a vertical comparison of big data. Each color represents a language. This seemingly chaotic garbled code is actually a collection of all human languages ​​​​in the world. Someone wrote a paragraph in the language of all mankind and we read it.

Code I don’t understand”

"That's the key to Catherine's transformation from 'it' to 'she.'"
