Chapter 88 - 86
In the office of the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., a knock on the door interrupted Nick Fury, who was buried in paperwork. Without looking up, he continued processing the documents and said casually, "Come in."
As the door opened, a tall woman in a Kevlar uniform walked in. She had a sharp, attractive face and a cold demeanor.
The female agent approached Fury's desk, placing a file within his reach. "Sir, there's news from Agent Fisher," she reported.
"Hmm? How's the investigation going?" Fury immediately stopped his work, raised his head, and began flipping through the file.
"It's not going well. One of the key leads has completely dried up, making the investigation difficult. Agent Fisher has requested assistance from the Science Department."
"Blurred tire marks, two cars vanishing into thin air?" Fury read through the report, his face emotionless. After setting the document down, he tapped his pen on the desk absentmindedly, deep in thought.
"This is getting interesting. Seems like we're dealing with things beyond our usual scope."
Various possibilities flashed through his mind. However, based on the existing clues, there wasn't enough to form a solid analysis. The only thing he could confirm was that the large-scale destructive power observed had no smoke or explosive reaction, indicating it wasn't caused by modern synthetic materials or conventional munitions.
Fisher had applied to involve the Department of Science and Technology because he suspected that the energy reaction wasn't of human origin.
