internet.
An information world, in this world, has almost everything that the real world has. Someone even said this.
If someone controls the Internet, then that person controls the entire world.
but...
This is clearly an exaggeration.
Putting aside other things, at the very least, the nuclear facilities of various countries are disconnected from the Internet.
but...
If someone can control the Internet, it may be an exaggeration to say that he is a god, but it may not be an exaggeration to say that he is omniscient and omnipotent.
Especially in this Marvel universe.
On this Internet, there are two different life forms.
One, Jarvis, Tony Stark's personal assistant, was developed and created by Tony Stark and ordered to serve as an old butler for many years.
There is one more.
That is Zora, who was once a scientist of Hydra, later participated in Project Paperclip and became a scientist of SHIELD, and then uploaded his consciousness to the Internet through a device.
If Jarvis is good, then Zora is bad.
And it's very, very bad.
actually...
Zora has had a very frustrating life these years. If you think about it carefully, when he had just uploaded his consciousness and turned himself into an electronic life, the Internet at that time was at most like a village. It would only take about ten minutes to walk from one end of the village to the other. At that time, Zora was a village bully.
Time passes.
After the Internet developed extremely rapidly in recent years, Zora finally felt that he could transform from a village bully to the so-called king of the world.
But he was wrong.
Zora had just come out of the village and before he could shout "I am the king of the world", he suddenly discovered that there was someone on the Internet who was no weaker than him and could even kill him.
That is Jarvis, developed and created by Tony Stark.
Let me put it this way.
Jarvis is a pure-blooded electronic life form, and although Zora is also an electronic life form, his inner consciousness is ultimately Zora's. In terms of electronic warfare, Zora estimated that he would die, completely die.
So Zora backed down and hid behind the Internet, helping the Hydra members who were parasitic on S.H.I.E.L.D. to thrive.
A few days ago.
Zora suddenly caught the name of Howard Stark appearing in the new data stream. Zora went to investigate and then found an uploaded video through the network cable.
You don't know until you see it. When Zora saw it, she was almost scared.
Although the assassination of Howard Stark had nothing to do with them, Bucky Barnes was their man. If they dragged Bucky Barnes into this, wouldn't they be exposed as well?
This scared Zora.
Same thing with Hydra.
This is not.
Hydra immediately dispatched its own special agent killers to the home of the person who uploaded the file before the New York Police Department. As a result, the guy was so stubborn that Hydra could not imagine it. No matter what method they used, the guy just said, "You have the wrong person. I have never interviewed anyone."
But the video cannot be faked, especially in front of Zola.
Immediately following.
Zora found a piece of information in the post office system. A courier was handed to Joe by the guy who uploaded the document, which led to the scene tonight.
Everything was going according to plan.
until...
The killer found a computer and inserted the USB drive into it. After Zora searched it, he discovered that this was a copied USB drive and the original USB drive was not the blue one.
What's more, what he got was a blank copy USB drive without any information on it. He was fooled by Joe.
at the moment?
The killer failed.
The USB drive was seized by the New York Police Department.
This is bad.
I had originally planned to disguise this as an escalated robbery, but in the end, I failed.
Zora quickly pressed the emergency assembly button.
New York Police Department.
"Cuff this guy's hands and feet and stuff a piece of cloth in his mouth to prevent him from committing suicide."
Lake, dressed in a suit and tie, returned to the New York Police Department with George and others around six o'clock. Lake said directly to Ryan, "Ryan, find a few officers you trust with your life and have them guard the place 24 hours a day."
Ryan looked at his boss, Beckett.
Beckett nodded.
This time it was Hydra that provoked him first.
Lake is afraid of trouble, but that doesn't mean he is afraid of things.
Grandma's legs.
Lake had originally thought that you guys can play your own games, and was planning to upgrade the case to robbery and close it. But what happened was that, although Hydra did not offend him, it directly hit his partner's house and almost killed him.
This is a blatant slap in the face.
If Joe had already joined Group 1 at this moment, even if he died, Lake would not be as angry as he is now.
But right now.
Joe is a member of his Group 3 and his partner. What Hydra did was completely ignoring him. It felt like he was powerless to do anything about the people who were beating him in front of him.
This time, I'm going to bring the Winter Soldier to justice, even if it means free money.
If Hydra dares to come, he will kill it.
Anyway, we have already confronted S.H.I.E.L.D., so what's the big deal about confronting another S.H.I.E.L.D.? We are just facing a complete S.H.I.E.L.D. anyway.
In the office.
Lake unplugged the network cable from his computer to prevent some parasite living on the Internet from using the cable to discuss on his computer.
Turn on your computer.
Connect a USB drive.
"...Mr. Ralph, do you remember the boy's name?"
"Know."
"I always remember, Bruce Ralph!"
"…"
Lake raised his eyebrows, wrote down the name of Bruce Ralph, pushed his chair and moved to Joe's desk.
Catch the eye.
Lake noticed a photo frame on Joe's desk.
Here's a picture of Jo with her husband, John.
Lake frowned.
After a while.
Lake came back to his senses, opened the police database and searched for this Bruce Ralph.
No?
Lake raised his eyebrows, but didn't take it seriously and directly opened the vehicle management office's system.
The police station's system is not normal. After all, not everyone can be recorded in the police station's system. Only those who have left fingerprints and been arrested can be found.
no way.
This is called a feature. After all, we must respect citizens' privacy.
But the vehicle management office is different.
The Federation is a country on wheels, with a vast territory and a sparse population. In the Federation, cars are not a luxury but a necessity. If you don't pursue anything else, you can buy one for a thousand US dollars.
only...
Lake frowned as he looked at the blank page that was retrieved.
That damn Zora got there first. Did he delete all the information about Bruce Ralph from all the databases?
Lake raised an eyebrow.
That's not right.
If Zora already has this information, then why did the killer go back?
besides...
If the killer came back, what did he take away the first time?
Just at this moment.
The phone on Lake's desk rang.
The big boss, Director Burt.
