Chapter 402 Sitwell: Lainie Is Responsible for the Killing, I Am Complicated Haha

Noticing Leni's gaze towards him, Mestre did not dodge, but smiled calmly at the other party.

"What's wrong?"

Faced with Mestre's calmness, Leni stared at it for a moment without saying anything. Instead, she played the holographic screen again, but this time the speed was slower.

Feeling something was wrong in the atmosphere in the car, Simmons, who was driving, and Skye, who was covering his head and pretending to be ignorant, couldn't help but peek at the two of them through the rearview mirror.

They could also feel some differences in Mestre these days, especially the scene just now. Having witnessed it up close, they knew how wrong Mestre's skills were.

"When did it start?"

The video paused again, and Leni turned her attention to Mestre again, her eyes full of suspicion and scrutiny.

Mester sighed inwardly when he saw this, could he still hide it from this girl after all?

Seeing that the secret he wanted to hide had been seen through by Leni, Mester pondered for a moment and then planned to show off his cards directly.

"I……"

However, before she could finish her words, she heard Leni continue to ask:

"Is it because of the obelisk?"

"Why?"

Mester was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it was not his identity that had been exposed, but that Leni had misunderstood him, thinking that he had gained some kind of ability because of the obelisk?

Mestre was slandering in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He just gave an ambiguous answer:

"Ah, probably so..."

Hearing this, Leni rubbed her brows helplessly, turned off the holographic screen, and clicked on the video system, intending to record the next conversation.

"What about abilities? Have you acquired any abilities?"

Leni originally thought that only by fully activating the obelisk like Skye and absorbing all the energy of the Terrigen crystal inside would the Inhumans fully activate their superpowers.

After all, the phenomena produced by the two previous experiments were completely different results. Anyone else would think that Meister was not a stranger and did not use the abilities obtained by the Terrigen Crystal.

But now judging from Mester's various performances, it seems that Mester's experiment cannot be completely classified as a failure.

"Um...I'm not sure..."

Facing Leni's inquiry, Mestre, who realized the key point, simply borrowed the donkey from the slope and immediately pretended to be ignorant and said thoughtfully:

"I don't feel like there have been any big changes. Except that my mind seems to be clearer and I feel more relaxed when doing experiments. I don't seem to feel anything special. If I have to say it, it's just that..."

Meister did not deliberately fabricate any superpowers for herself. Although this would make her use magic more unscrupulously, it is not necessary...

"Is the ability recessive? Is it because the obelisk experiment failed that your ability was not activated better?"

Leni rubbed her chin in thought.

"So, the previous experiment Meister didn't completely fail?"

Finally understanding the meaning of their words, Skye stopped pretending to be transparent and turned around to look at Mestre carefully with burning eyes.

As the only person in that experiment, Skye was very happy to have someone who gained abilities through the mysterious obelisk like herself, and this person was also her best friend and best friend, which was even more joyful.

"Maybe. It's not a success, but it certainly can't be called a failure to a certain extent."

Leni pursed her lips. Looking through her memories, she was not completely sure of the correct way for the obelisk to activate superpowers. After all, in the original work, not everyone who touched the obelisk would be petrified into stone. There is a living example.

As for Meister, her situation is rather special. From the perspective of the experimental process, it is obvious that she did not maintain active vital signs like Skye after triggering the obelisk.

If the alchemy crystal hadn't been used in time, she might have turned into a statue of a beautiful woman.

But the problem seems to be here. Because of his own existence, Mestre, who was relieved of his petrified state with the help of the Great World Ceremony, seems to have gained some kind of physical improvement through this opportunity.

Judging from the current level, if we use game terms to evaluate it, Mest's four-dimensional attributes of strength, physical strength, spirit, and intelligence have all been blessed. Although the magnitude of the blessing is not as obvious as that of Skye, it is better than stability. Safe and comprehensive, with no side effects.

"In that case, Mestre also hopes to gain superpowers? By the way, don't you still have an obelisk on your hand? Can you give it to Mestre when we get back?"

With little stars twinkling in Skye's eyes, she looked at Mester and then at Leni, eager to get Leni to agree to her plan.

"Ah, by the way, there's Simmons!"

However, what Skye didn't expect was that after listening to her proposal, all three of them shook their heads in denial.

Simmons: "No, I don't plan to become a superpower! What's more, didn't Leni say, what this thing turns into is completely uncontrollable, and it may even turn into an ugly monster, not to mention the feeling of being petrified. I feel bad, but I don’t want to become an ugly person.”

Meester: "Simmons is right. I don't want to experience that suffocating feeling again. It's like being pressed against my chest by Thor with Thor's hammer. I can feel my chest with every breath." The abdomen is somewhat compressed.”

Laini: "Well, that's right. You are an exception. Among the many people I have seen who have touched the obelisk, only you have successfully unlocked the ability, but this ability is not a good thing for you at the moment. Your arm is an example."

Laini does not want Mester and Simmons to become the experimental subjects of the obelisk. As far as the Marvel world is concerned, there are many ways to obtain special abilities, and there is no need to focus entirely on the obelisk.

There will be plenty of opportunities to get in touch with other more stable and reliable methods in the future. Even if you don't use those things, just rely on first-hand technology, it is not completely without a place in this Marvel world.

"Let's do this. Simmons, you will give Mester a full-scale check after you go back, and focus on testing her various ability levels to see which areas have been improved compared to before."

Speaking of this, Lainie looked at Skye and narrowed her eyes slightly.

Skye immediately realized that he was about to face a disaster, and hurriedly sat back honestly and pretended to be a little transparent again.

"Hmph, and Skye, take her with you. When the results come out, don't notify others yet. I'll make a decision after I figure it out."

The fact that the obelisk can amplify the human body is not a big deal, but it's not a small deal either.

At this point in time, although Hydra has not planned to make any big noise, there are undercurrents under the calm surface of the lake. Skye is fine alone, but Lainie is afraid that after Mester's affairs are exposed, Hydra will come and she will be unable to take care of them. It will be troublesome.

Thinking of this, Lainie closed the holographic tablet in her hand, and then quickly deleted the conversation she had just recorded.

Hydra, these guys will eventually be a big worry for me!

Noticing Lainie's actions, Meister's eyes condensed, and he was also thinking about something in his heart.

"Laini seems to be on guard against something. If it's not me, then who could it be? Nick Fury? Or..."

...

Back at the SHIELD headquarters, Benjamin and his wife were taken to the weapons testing site by Lainie and Sitwell. As for Skye and the others, they followed Lainie's previous arrangement and went to the medical room with Lainie's authority, preparing to give Mester and Skye a more comprehensive physical examination there.

"Oh my God, this place is so big~"

As if Liu Laolao entered the Grand View Garden, Benjamin and his wife were shocked by the exaggerated space and grand decoration inside the SHIELD headquarters.

Especially after seeing those agents who were also wearing suits but greeted Lainie politely and smilingly, they were even more awed by Lainie's identity.

After all, they heard some of the agents use the title "Deputy Director" when they greeted each other!

What does this mean?

Does this mean that this famous female billionaire of Stark Company is not only a famous Avenger, but also the deputy director of this huge spy organization?

In this regard, Lainie did not explain, and Sitwell on the side did not say much. He was happy that Lainie could really become the deputy director of SHIELD. In this way, half of SHIELD would really belong to Hydra!

Sitwell: It's settled! Mr. Pierce is Hydra, Lainie is Hydra, and I am also Hydra. This wave is definitely settled! In the future, SHIELD might as well change its name to SHIELD, because they are all Hydra in secret anyway!
