Tony Stark simply flipped through it and found that there were about twenty to thirty people.
Their original Skrull appearance, their current human disguised identities, permanent locations, and so on.
All the necessary information was clearly marked.
"These are the Skrulls? They're really ugly."
Tony couldn't help but curl his lips, as venomous as ever, then glanced at Nick Fury, "Are they all here?"
"All the Skrulls I have are here," Nick Fury replied with a serious expression.
"This few people can't pull off a Secret Invasion."
Tony couldn't help but show a hint of sarcasm on his face, openly mocking Nick Fury.
It wasn't that Playboy was intentionally mocking Nick Fury; it was just that Nick Fury's handling of this matter was indeed a bit idiotic, full of flaws.
If it were an ordinary person, it would be fine, but Nick Fury, he's the Agent King after all!
You're someone who makes a living as an Agent, yet you were played like a monkey by the Skrulls under your command?
It's simply a joke.
"That's also why I'm sitting here."
Nick Fury, as if he hadn't noticed the meaning in Tony's words, his expression unchanged, put down the coffee in his hand.
"If you find anything, notify me immediately."
Standing up, he waved his hand at Tony, and Nick Fury left without looking back.
Playboy did the same.
About five minutes after Nick Fury left, he also got up and left.
He got into his luxury car and drove in another direction.
As if nothing had ever happened.
"Jarvis."
However, the first thing Playboy did upon returning to his luxurious Villa was to give Jarvis an order.
"Everyone on this list, I want you to conduct continuous 24-hour surveillance and tracking on them."
Swish!
Jarvis immediately scanned everyone on the data and then confirmed with Tony Stark.
"Sir, how long should they be monitored?"
"Until more Skrulls are found!"
"Understood!"
Jarvis naturally carried out Playboy's order with utmost loyalty.
In an instant, he connected to all networked cameras and recorders, and began to retrieve information.
He easily locked onto all the Skrulls on the list.
For Jarvis, who was far ahead of his time, this kind of thing was child's play and required no effort at all.
"It's been a long time since I contacted Dr. Zhao Helen. Should I find an opportunity to talk to her?"
After finishing his main tasks, Tony leaned back on his luxurious sofa in a lazy posture.
He fell into deep thought.
In fact, he had already asked Jarvis to retrieve some of Dr. Zhao Helen's current research findings.
Stark had also read some of the papers and research reports she had published.
Although the Regeneration Cradle had not yet been researched, not even the concept had been proposed.
But judging from her research directions, if extended, it's basically a sure thing.
So Playboy now has a 70% certainty that Dr. Zhao, who developed the Regeneration Cradle mentioned in the diary, is Dr. Zhao Helen!
Even with Tony Stark's arrogance, he had to admit that the Regeneration Cradle was indeed a groundbreaking achievement.
...
At the same moment.
Sanctuary II.
The spacious hall was so dim and cold, like a deep and lonely night sky.
It made people feel an inexplicable sense of oppression.
Of course, this was only for Earthlings.
But for a Universe Overlord like Thanos, he liked this kind of atmosphere.
Looking around, Thanos, sitting on the supreme throne at the highest position, was looking down at The Other, the Chitauri leader, who was kneeling before him.
That's right, this guy's name is that bizarre, just The Other.
He is a relatively obscure villain in the Marvel Universe.
Few people would know him by just his name.
Simply put, this guy was the one who communicated with Loki on behalf of Thanos and showed off in front of Loki.
He was also the poor guy who talked nonsense when Ronan the Accuser argued with Thanos and was killed by Ronan the Accuser with a mjolnir.
Although he didn't appear much and didn't seem to be highly valued by Thanos, being a dispensable extra under Thanos.
But in fact, in the interstellar, The Other is also a very powerful character.
Otherwise, how could he directly work for Thanos?
It's just that compared to Thanos' two daughters, Gamora and Nebula, and the famous Black Order, his reputation is less prominent.
"Master, Ronan the Accuser has agreed. He will use his power to find the Orb for you."
Although he didn't look up at Thanos, The Other could still feel the immense pressure from Thanos.
This made The Other's voice sound even more respectful.
"He made the right choice."
Thanos was not surprised by this and nodded indifferently.
Ronan the Accuser was a madman, and his rage towards Xandar had made him lose his mind, becoming a very obvious weakness that could be exploited.
For someone like Thanos, it was not difficult to use this to drag Ronan the Accuser into the water.
However, even so, Ronan the Accuser was not his man no matter what.
To ensure that the other party worked honestly for him and didn't play any tricks behind his back.
Thanos still made a decision.
Send Gamora and Nebula to Ronan the Accuser's side, on one hand to assist him, and on the other hand, as a form of supervision.
Thanos believed that Ronan the Accuser would agree.
After quickly sorting out these thoughts in his mind, Thanos found no problems, and he refocused his gaze on The Other.
He asked him another question.
"Besides the Orb, are there any other Infinity Stones' whereabouts?"
The Other, who was half-kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but show a look of discomfort.
How could legendary items like the Infinity Stones be so easy to find?
Even the intelligence on the Orb was obtained only after a great deal of effort.
And even then, it wasn't accurate intelligence, just some related clues.
As for the other Infinity Stones, there wasn't even a Shadow of them.
Oh, right, there's also the Tesseract on Earth!
But for some reason, his Master didn't seem too keen on the Tesseract.
Even though he had known for a long time that there was a high possibility that it was an Infinity Stone, he had never shown any intention of taking action.
Not only that, but he had always kept everyone secretly watching Earth and the Nine Realms.
While those thoughts flashed through his mind, The Other also began to answer Thanos' question in a deep voice, "Master, besides the Orb, there is only the Tesseract. We currently have no other information."
Thanos was not surprised by this either; how could something like the Infinity Stones be so easy to find?
They were existences containing the most powerful forces in the Universe!
"Is there any movement in the Nine Realms?"
After a moment of contemplation, Thanos once again looked down at The Other and asked.
In Thanos' view, Planet C53 was insignificant.
Even according to the civilization levels of various star systems in the interstellar, C53 was completely a low-level Planet.
Thanos didn't know how many Planets many times more advanced than C53 he had destroyed.
C53 was just a piece of trash.
But the crucial point was that C53 was Odin's territory!
That was a ruthless individual who dared to go to war with the Celestials with a single call to arms.
The key was that he fought the Celestials fiercely and still survived.
Thanos stated that he couldn't afford to provoke such a ruthless individual.
Although Odin was very old now, this aging referred to the aging of Odin's body, not his divine power.
As a God King, the older Odin got, the more terrifying his divine power became, but his aging body would restrict the Play of his divine power.
But that was under normal circumstances.
If Odin were enraged, and he fought despite the damage to his body, it would still be very, very easy for him to kill Thanos.
This was an important reason why Thanos had never dared to easily attack Earth.
Besides that.
Thanos learned that there seemed to be some dimension demon gods in the Universe who coveted C53 but had never succeeded.
In addition, about a decade or so ago, it was said that Ronan the Accuser had tried to destroy C53, but also failed.
Thanos didn't know if these things were all because of Odin, but it was clear that C53 was not as simple as it appeared on the surface, and the Water within it was unfathomable.
With all these factors combined, Thanos naturally dared not act rashly.
He would certainly not give up on the Tesseract, but he had to wait for the right moment.
"Just a while ago, a chaos erupted in Asgard."
"The Frost Giants invaded Asgard, attempting to kill Odin, but ultimately failed."
"Asgard was enraged, and their Second Prince almost destroyed Jotunheim."
"However, an accident occurred during this process, and Loki fell into the cosmic abyss."
The Other's voice rang out, providing Thanos with a basic overview of the situation.
Thanos' eyes on the throne immediately lit up!
An opportunity!
Wasn't this the opportunity he had been eagerly waiting for?
Loki was Odin's son, and this was truly a brilliant trump card.
The only thing that was somewhat worrying was that falling into the cosmic abyss was a very dangerous thing, and Loki was probably in dire straits.
However, no matter what, this only opportunity had to be tried, and Thanos had no intention of giving up just like that.
"Has Loki's body been found?"
Thanos immediately pressed on with his question.
The Other, who was half-kneeling on the ground, instantly stiffened, then nervously replied, "Sorry, Master, I thought this wasn't important information."
Swish!
Before he finished speaking, The Other immediately felt as if the air in the room had solidified.
He subconsciously and stealthily looked up at Thanos, and indeed saw Thanos staring at him with a dark face.
The Other shivered in fright and immediately pulled his head back.
"I'm sorry, Master, it was my oversight!"
The Other immediately admitted his mistake honestly, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.
"Whether it's important or not is for me to judge, not you!"
Thanos' low and cold voice drifted over, making The Other even more afraid to breathe.
"Yes, Master."
He just kept nodding.
"Go confirm this immediately!"
"Yes, Master!"
The Other dared not utter another word. After receiving the order from Thanos, he immediately devoted himself wholeheartedly to this matter.
He almost used all the power he could muster to search the entire Universe for Loki, or Loki's body.
Although The Other almost believed that Loki was dead and that his Master's actions were meaningless.
But who told him it was his Master's command?
The Other still dared not disobey in any way.
There was nothing he could do; Thanos' authority in his heart was simply too deeply ingrained.
...
Tony Stark and the diary holders naturally could not know about Thanos' "small actions" behind the scenes.
Since the last "cooperation" with Nick Fury, Tony had been using Jarvis to monitor the Skrulls and their movements.
In order to find other Skrulls hidden on Earth.
And when he did start looking, Tony Stark was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.
It was only a short half a year.
Tony actually discovered many Skrull gathering places all over the world, mainly in America, and also in the Great Bear Nation.
And these were large Skrull gathering places.
The smallest had thousands of people, and the largest could even reach tens of thousands.
According to Tony's simple estimation, the number of Skrulls currently hidden on Earth could actually reach hundreds of thousands!
This was truly shocking.
Playboy dared not delay for a moment and immediately met with Nick Fury.
He told Nick Fury about the shocking situation he had investigated.
"Hundreds of thousands?"
"Are you sure?"
Nick Fury's eyes almost popped out when he heard this; he simply couldn't believe his ears.
Over the past six months, with Jarvis's help, new Skrulls had been continuously found.
But according to the intelligence from Tony's side, there were only a few hundred people.
How did the number suddenly increase so many times?
It was simply like a joke.
"The last time we met, you gave me the latest list, which was only thirty-four people, and all the Skrulls combined didn't exceed five hundred."
"It's been less than two weeks, hasn't it? How did it become hundreds of thousands?"
Nick Fury expressed extreme shock and even some incomprehension.
Hundreds of thousands of people!
How many people were there in all of Manhattan?
Through the diary's spoilers, Nick Fury had long guessed that there should be quite a few Skrulls on Earth.
But he never imagined that there would be so many.
So many that it was terrifying!
The key was, how could so many Skrulls remain hidden?
Although Skrulls do have the ability to shapeshift and perfectly disguise themselves as anyone.
But no matter how perfect their disguise, it's still just a disguise!
Fake will never be real.
To perfectly disguise oneself as someone, a lot of preparatory work is needed beforehand, otherwise, flaws will easily show.
If only a small number of people are disguised, occasional flaws are naturally not a big deal, but what if it's hundreds of thousands of people?
It would be impossible to perfectly integrate into Earth without attracting any attention.
