Although the base was built very vast, the living space for Shen He and the servants was not too big.
Even their rooms were basically adjacent.
So when Shen He came to the reception room, Violet and Ryougi Shiki and other permanent servants were all here. There
was also Captain America Steve Rogers.
"Steve, it seems that you have adapted well."
Shen He brought three cups of milk and some cakes and walked over and sat on the sofa opposite Coulson and Steve.
"You said that there is not much time for me to adapt, Shen." Steve Rogers stopped talking with Coulson and turned to look at Shen He, "You seem to have done something very excessive to Coulson and others last night." "This is a war for us
, so it doesn't matter whether it is excessive or not."
Shen He handed the milk to Jeanne and Ryougi Shiki, and cut a piece of strawberry cake for Violet, and seemed to have no desire to talk at all.
"Mr. Shen." Coulson could only take the initiative to speak, "Director Fury sent me here to see if you need any help. In fact, although the public opinion outside seems to be more serious, there are demonstrations everywhere, but this is just a small matter for SHIELD."
"Yes, a small matter."
Shen He nodded as if he had expected it.
"Although I am not a person who advocates free will, I also know that since the terrorist attack, the term "national security" has been used here as a signboard for all restrictions on personal freedom. People compromised, and in this kind of thing, as long as you compromise for the first time, you will be more likely to give in the second time."
He looked at the time on his mobile phone, "Jarvis, the official press conference should have started, open the virtual light screen."
"Okay, sir."
Jarvis's voice came as expected, and a virtual light screen was opened in the middle of the reception room.
Just as Shen He said, it was the official press conference live broadcast for this alien incident that swept the world.
"No comment." The spokesperson said this phrase firmly. "The occurrence of this incident has seriously threatened national security. Our confidential information has been leaked and spread. Our soldiers are exposed to the enemy's sight. Anyone who adds fuel to the flames is only helping our enemies. They want us to fall into chaos. We have begun to investigate the mastermind behind this incident..."
"Is what he said true?" Shen He looked at Coulson, "Have you started investigating?"
"Yes, Mr. Shen." Coulson nodded. "
Who are you investigating?"
"They call themselves the Rising Tide Organization. It is difficult to investigate because they are all masters among hackers." Coulson paused, then emphasized a little, "But we are also masters, so just before I came here, we had found clues and were preparing to arrest them."
It seems that not all of these hackers are for freedom of information. Some of them are also for personal gain.
Tracking the whereabouts of certain money is much easier than tracking the address of an elite hacker.
"Jarvis, how is the lady I asked you to pay attention to now?" Shen He asked.
"She's still safe, sir."
"Okay..." Shen He murmured, and his eyes suddenly shifted to Captain America, "Steve, what do you think about this?"
"What?" Steve was slightly stunned.
"You should have read the information about the Asgardians and S.H.I.E.L.D." Shen He seemed to be just asking casually, "Do you think it is right to restrict personal freedom on the grounds of 'national security'?"
"..." Steve was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head, "I don't know."
"Is that so?" Shen He was a little disappointed.
Captain America also experienced the same problem in the original book, but at that time he stood up without hesitation as an opponent.
"What about you, Shen." Steve suddenly asked, "What do you think?"
"Me?" Shen He didn't seem to think that he would be asked back. He thought carefully for a while, and finally shrugged, "We have different definitions and understandings of the word freedom. I only value things that I value, and these things will change with my life experience. So in the face of your situation, I can only make a choice based on my own interests and position." If
this kind of thing really needs to be distinguished between right and wrong, it will never end.
In the final analysis, Shen He's belief is only in people, not in things.
"Okay, Steve, everyone has their own ideas that they think are correct, and we often find that in the end we can only use fists to solve problems." Shen He stood up and stretched, "If you are ready, I need you to fight."
"...If it is to fight to protect the people, I think I am ready at any time." Steve Rogers also stood up.
Since waking up, or since the test in virtual reality, Steve has been wandering between confusion and determination. What is firm is the belief of fighting for the people, and what is confused is who can represent the people.
But no matter what, Captain America never hesitates before the war begins.
"Then, everything begins."
Shen He sat down again, and his mind connected to Lelouch in his own world.
Fortunately, the plot of Lelouch's world is now in a peaceful daily period, and he has time to come and help here.
So it was just a blink of an eye, and the tall and thin young man suddenly appeared among the crowd.
"Let me introduce you. This is Lelouch. Steve, there doesn't seem to be time to explain too much right now, but the things he is responsible for are separate from yours. Just listen to my arrangements. Lelouch, everything has already started on my side." Shen He briefly introduced the situation.
"Leave it to me." Lelouch nodded.
His initial strategic plan had been significantly modified by Shen He, but he was also clear about the specific modifications.
Steve didn't say anything, but just nodded as well. He needed to find the answers he needed in further battles.
"Mr. Shen, can I stay here?" Coulson asked after Steve and Lelouch left.
"Of course." Shen He nodded, "I still need your inside information..."
At the same time, Skye on the other side was also watching the official press conference, which made her very, very angry.
Because what she did did not threaten national security at all, she just wanted the truth, why was she accused of this!
