Hulk Cannot Be Suppressed

"Stark, don't say it's an organization; even a single person, as long as they exist, will leave traces."

"And as long as they leave traces, even the slightest bit, it's impossible to hide it from the eyes and ears of S.H.I.E.L.D."

"Stark, do you believe that if we wanted to, we could even find out the exact age when you stopped wetting the bed?"

Nick Fury wasn't kidding. With S.H.I.E.L.D.'s current level and resources, the entire world has no secrets in front of this massive organization.

"And after all these years, we haven't found any traces related to HYDRA. This is enough to prove that HYDRA was long destroyed and no longer exists."

Nick Fury said with a firm, unquestionable tone, exuding confidence.

"If HYDRA really could completely shield itself from S.H.I.E.L.D.'s ears and eyes, there's only one possibility: S.H.I.E.L.D. has already been controlled by HYDRA!"

But clearly, this absurd and ridiculous statement was impossible.

"I was just saying it casually." Iron Man didn't insist, as he was just speaking offhand.

"Then there's only one last option left." Iron Man then looked at option D, "The Hulk? That doctor who turns into a big guy when he gets angry?"

"Stark, it seems that not only S.H.I.E.L.D. has been infiltrated by you." Nick Fury couldn't help but glance at Iron Man.

The Hulk was the unintended product of military serum experiments, and the related documents and intelligence were highly classified.

Except for the people involved back then, no one else could possibly know.

And those people had been properly handled, all keeping silent. After several years, the Hulk became even less known.

But Iron Man seemed to talk about the Hulk as if it was nothing, which made one wonder what exactly he had done.

"Don't worry about these trivial details, let's continue." Iron Man waved his hand dismissively, "That big guy really becomes terrifying when he goes berserk. He's practically a monster!"

"Although I don't want to admit it, with my current armor, I really can't do anything to him!"

"He would dismantle your armor in three minutes and then step on you to death." Black Widow added seriously.

"That's a bit harsh, Agent, as long as you give me enough time, I'll definitely develop anti-Hulk armor. At that point, even that big guy won't be a match for me." Iron Man said confidently.

"But the key issue is, you haven't developed it yet." Black Widow ruthlessly punctured Iron Man's confidence.

She then turned to Nick Fury and said, "Sir, if it's the Hulk, the military won't help. The Avengers will have to handle it."

"So, up to now, we've only eliminated one of the options, C?" Iron Man spread his hands in a casual manner.

"No, I think we can eliminate D as well." Nick Fury thought for a few seconds before offering a different opinion.

"Option D talks about suppressing the Hulk, not dealing with the crisis caused by the Hulk."

There's a significant difference between the two.

Suppressing means using force, violent repression.

This is applicable to ordinary "super-powered individuals," but completely ineffective against the Hulk.

"And that big guy cannot be suppressed!"

"Because the angrier he gets, the stronger he becomes! Trying to suppress him will only make him more enraged, worsening the situation!"

"If the Hulk truly loses control, I may indeed send the Avengers to handle this tricky issue, but I will absolutely not give the order to suppress him with force."

Nick Fury said after a moment of contemplation.

"So there are only two options left, Nick Fury. This question concerns you, so you make the final choice." Iron Man said to Nick Fury.

Black Widow didn't speak, just silently stared at Nick Fury, waiting for his answer.

After a moment of thought, Nick Fury made his choice: "I choose A, to confront the Chitauri invading New York."

For Nick Fury, option B was completely unfeasible, while option A had some details that matched the previous footage.

It provided some supporting evidence for the previous footage.

Under these circumstances, Nick Fury would naturally choose A.

In fact, not only Nick Fury, but even Iron Man and Black Widow would also make the same choice as Nick Fury.

[Incorrect Answer!]

But then, the system's notification sound rang out.

This surprised everyone present.

Clearly, the Avengers made their public debut in the battle of New York, but this wasn't even their first mission?

Could it be that the Avengers had carried out other secret operations that were never made public?

Considering S.H.I.E.L.D. is an intelligence agency, this possibility does exist.

[Nick Fury will have one year of his life erased as punishment. Immediate execution!]

With this announcement from the system, Nick Fury suddenly felt a wave of emptiness, as if something important had been taken from him.

His face immediately turned pale.

"Sir, are you alright?" Black Widow hurried over and supported Nick Fury, "Your face doesn't look good."

"I'm fine." Nick Fury shook his head.

Although there was no way to verify the system's claim of erasing a year from his life, Nick Fury didn't doubt it.

By now, Nick Fury had no doubts about the answering system.

Given the vital intelligence provided by the system, Nick Fury felt that losing a year of his life was worth it.

"Sir, let me answer next." After thinking for a moment, Black Widow said to Nick Fury.

It would be too cruel to let Nick Fury face two punishments in a row, so Black Widow stepped forward to share the burden.

Nick Fury nodded and didn't say much.

"I choose B, to find the Cosmic Cube that was stolen." After a moment's hesitation, Black Widow made her decision.

Option C was definitely ruled out, and option D had logical inconsistencies, so it was also eliminated.

Although option B couldn't be analyzed, in this situation, there was no choice but to gamble on B.

The fortunate thing was...

[Correct Answer!]
