chapter 26

"Officer, I'm afraid it's not."

"According to our satellite detection, it's a person."

"And it's not Tony Stark at all, nor is it his kind of Iron Man armor."

"It's a person flying in mid-air."

Hill handed over the satellite photo again.

It was a blurry figure.

Although very blurry, it could be seen that this was indeed a human wearing casual clothes.

"Motherf**ker!"

"Is this still a human?"

Nick Fury couldn't help but swear. He really couldn't imagine how humans could reach this speed!

With a human body, such high-speed flight would have turned into a pile of minced meat long ago, but this guy was still fine.

Can humans really be so powerful? Could it be those mutants?

Various thoughts flashed through Nick Fury's mind, but he finally suppressed them in his heart.

"Recently, there are more and more strange things!"

"The laboratory also sent bad news, I have to go and see it tonight."

"Another superhuman has popped up here, what's wrong with this world?"

Facing his most trusted subordinate, Nick Fury couldn't help but express his thoughts.

Hill could only remain silent. She was just an agent—how would she know?

Nick Fury also knew that complaining was useless, and he wasn't that kind of person either.

It's just that there have been so many strange occurrences recently, and even he feels a little pressure.

"Temporarily archive it, codename Superman."

"Send a squad to investigate."

"Before we determine the danger of this guy,"

"We don't have too much power to waste on these things."

"We have more important things to deal with. Tonight, you come with me to the energy base. There's a situation there."

Nick Fury hurriedly instructed.

Hill nodded, picked up the file, and turned to leave.

When Hill left, Nick Fury's office fell into a gray silence.

Nick Fury sighed.

The whole person was hidden in the darkness, not revealing any trace at all.

Chapter 23: Fishing Again! Krypton Tombstone?

[Seeking flowers and evaluation tickets!]

Robert didn't know that his stroll in the sky had caused a huge psychological shadow on S.H.I.E.L.D.

At this moment, he had already moved into Charles' villa.

Professor Charles looked like a poor old man. But in fact, he was very rich.

This high-end villa in Manhattan was nearly 400 square meters, with a swimming pool in the yard.

Robert truly enjoyed the luxurious life of capitalism. It was like sugar-coated bullets—beautiful on the outside but dangerous beneath.

Robert was almost immersed in it.

Fortunately, his self-control was strong. After delaying for a day, he walked out of the villa and picked up his fishing rod again.

He grabbed his fishing gear and strolled directly to Central Park.

The United States is sparsely populated, and the city's greening is impressive. Central Park, being large, naturally had many artificial lakes and rivers.

There were also a lot of people fishing here.

Fishing in the United States can be quite troublesome. Not only do you need a certificate, but you also have to follow rules about where and when you can fish.

Especially in big cities like New York, there are many regulations.

Most people avoid these areas even when they want to fish.

Precisely because of this, the people who do fish here are usually not ordinary folks. In other words, they don't care about the rules.

Robert was one of those people.

Relying on his phone to determine the location, he set up his gear and started preparing the bait for the fish.

Although this nest might not be helpful for the things the System refreshed, the sense of ritual was what mattered the most to him.

After going through the motions, Robert took out his fishing rod and cast it into the water.

[Ding!]

[Sign-in successful, you have received extraordinary fish bait.]

[Extraordinary Fish Bait: Fish bait with magical properties that increase the chances of catching rare items.]

"Um?"

"Good stuff."

Robert's eyes lit up.

Even though it was a fish pond refreshed by the System, the probability of catching something valuable was never 100%.

Now that he was at the Mutant Academy, he had the most air support, and this kind of bait could be very useful.

He eagerly replaced the ordinary bait with the extraordinary fish bait, having high hopes for it.

Although it didn't look unusual at first glance, the System's description implied that it would be special.

With the bait set, Robert threw the line out and began to wait.

It wasn't long before he felt movement in his fishing rod.

"Is it really that effective?"

Robert's eyes lit up again.

He hadn't expected that this so-called extraordinary fish bait would be so powerful, and he'd already caught something so quickly. "But the reaction isn't very strong."

"Could it be a lower-level catch?"

Robert frowned.

From his experience, the stronger the resistance underwater, the better the prize, and the higher the item's level.

This time, he felt that the resistance wasn't strong.

This made Robert suspicious about the level of the catch.

"Come on!"

Since the underwater resistance wasn't strong, Robert had no intention of playing a game of patience. He used all his strength.

Faced with his overwhelming power, the fish didn't last long and was quickly pulled out of the water.

"It's purple?"

"I didn't expect that."

Robert's eyes lit up with surprise.

Feeling the power within, he thought it was only going to be a blue item, but it turned out to be purple. Not bad at all.

With a wave of his hand, the purple swimming fish landed in his palm and then transformed into a beam of light that disappeared into his body.

[Krypton Tombstone]

[Krypton Tombstone: When a civilization is on the verge of destruction, the instinct of intelligent beings is to preserve their knowledge and heritage. The insightful people of Krypton stored the civilization and knowledge of their people in a spaceship and launched it into the universe.]

"It turned out to be this kind of thing."
