Chapter 61: S.H.I.E.L.D. Action

"Director, Gotham has discovered a suspected superpower."

There is a trident-like building complex in New York, called the Triskelion Building, which is the headquarters of the Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency.

That is the legendary SHIELD.

On this day, Maria Hill, deputy director of SHIELD, walked into the director's office with a document.

When he opened the door, he saw a figure wearing a black windbreaker and a shiny black egg head across the desk.

And the air conditioner was turned on loudly...

"Tell me the details, Hill."

Nick Fury turned around and sat in front of the desk, revealing his face with an eye mask, and he was serious.

Hill put the document on the table and explained it seriously.

"Recently, a thief who calls himself Kaito Kidd has been active in Gotham. He is good at using gorgeous magic tricks and disguises to steal. The stolen gems are either returned to the original owner or donated."

"A thief? We don't need to care about such trivial matters. Let's get to the point. We don't have time to waste."

Agent Hill nodded, and she put her hand on a certain position on the desk, and a circle suddenly lit up with Hill's palm as the center.

The lights in the director's office automatically dimmed a little.

Then, a series of fine light green lights shot down from the ceiling, sweeping over the top of the documents.

Then, a holographic image screen appeared in front of the two.

The picture played on the screen was the duel between Kaito Kidd and Batman a few days ago!

In fact, the scene of the fight between Maggieson and Batman was not filmed by anyone. After all, the helicopter of the TV station was far away from the observation tower, and the viewing angle was very poor. Only a few pictures were clear.

However, these pictures, plus the statements of many eyewitnesses at the time, were enough for SHIELD's supercomputer to simulate the scene at that time. In terms of intelligence, SHIELD's supercomputer is indeed not as smart as Jarvis, but it is not far behind.

Under Hill's fast forward, the picture just stopped at the moment when Kaito Kidd summoned the fire wall and then the red light flashed and disappeared.

"Director, the current consensus of the CIA and the FBI is that the sudden appearance of the fire wall is some unknown chemical reaction, and the red light can be achieved by flash bombs... but I don't think things are that simple."

Hill was talking about Kaito Kidd, but Fury's eyes always stayed on Batman.

"Bruce, he actually went out..."

If you want to find a person with the most secrets on earth, he must be Nick Fury. There are very few things in the world that he doesn't know, and obviously the fact that Batman is Bruce Wayne is not one of them.

Similarly, he is very clear about the events eight years ago. Although the storm only affected Gotham, the madness and terror of that person even made Fury, who is known as the king of agents, feel lingering fear.

He once thought that Bruce would be depressed for life after losing Rachel, but he didn't expect Batman to come back today.

"If he is willing to join the Avengers..."

"Director, I think the ability that Kaito Kidd showed at the end is likely to be his superpower."

Agent Hill didn't know what his director was thinking, and continued to express his judgment.

"We should conduct a risk assessment, but..."

Hearing this, Fury came back to his senses instantly. He used a drug to strengthen his brain, so he heard everything Hill said just now, including the action against Kaito Kidd.

"Well, let Coulson contact this thief."

Fury said quite naturally.

"Uh... Director, Coulson was sent to New Mexico by you not long ago."

Hill reminded.

"...Then let Ward go."

Fury was silent for 0.3 seconds, and then said the next candidate.

"Agent Ward just happened to be off on a mission recently, so he's a good candidate. But Director, we don't know the true identity of Kaito Kidd yet."

Agent Hill felt a little ashamed. This was the first time she couldn't find someone.

SHIELD has the most advanced and comprehensive surveillance system and database in the world. They can control any surveillance camera on the earth, including satellites, at any time. Theoretically, no one in the world can hide their whereabouts from SHIELD.

However, when Hill tried to find out the true identity of Kaito Kidd through Gotham's surveillance system and satellites.

She failed.

It's not because the surveillance didn't capture Kaito Kidd.

On the contrary, it captured too many.

From Kidd's first crime, his movements could be tracked from being disguised as Sheriff Aaron to being stopped by Catwoman and all of them were dug out by Hill.

But then, Kidd's series of actions stunned Hill.

Sometimes he would deliberately appear in the surveillance camera, and then he would change from a civilian to another civilian many times, and then suddenly rush into the blind spot of the surveillance. Even so, with the experience of an agent, Hill could guess Kidd's movements.

However, Kidd often likes to get into the crowd and change clothes again at this time. She actually found more than a hundred people who looked like Kidd at the same time and place.

In the end, she lost the suspect inexplicably.

All the faces of Kaito Kidd that appeared in front of the monitor were collected by Hill. After comparing them one by one, she found that these people really existed in the world, and they were basically Gotham residents.

A small number of them were world-famous stars.

In short, none of them was his original appearance.

After listening to Hill's explanation, Fury's face was gloomy, although outsiders could not see it.

He immediately realized the real threat of Kaito Kidd.

If Kaito Kidd's unscientific disguise technology is applied to spy invasions, it will cause great damage to any country.

No country can stop this person's infiltration, and even a president of a country is difficult to detect when he is replaced by him.

In comparison, the superpowers that seem like magic seem insignificant.

Fury, who believes that he wants to maintain world peace, naturally cannot let such a person be free outside. Kaito Kidd must be under the control of SHIELD!

At the very least, a way to crack that disguise ability must be found.

"Hill! From now on, Kaito Kidd will be listed as a level 7 file of SHIELD, and his next action will be monitored at any time!"

"Yes, Director."

"Is there any news from Coulson?"

After a while, Fury suddenly asked.

"He said that the hammer that fell from the sky seemed to have some unknown magnetic field, and its mass was very large. No matter what method was used, the hammer could not be moved."

Agent Hill replied.

"By the way, he also mentioned that a man broke into the test base last night. This man tried to pull up the hammer but failed, and he also claimed to be... Thor."
