Chapter 542: A Ghost Named

It is well known that since the Cold War era, America's "Red Allergy" has been incurable. If you want to pull someone down from their position, the fastest way is to frame them for being a communist.

And the Red Allergy has a precursor symptom, which is the "See Everyone as Red Syndrome," belonging to the "Paranoid Spectrum" and "Grass-and-Trees-as-Soldiers Syndrome."

In modern times, this symptom had lessened significantly and was almost cured because the root cause of the illness was gone. But as the shadow of the root cause once again shrouded this planet, the old illness, unhealed for years, had recurred.

"Sir, I think this is really a bit outrageous. Regardless of anything else, we can't search Captain America's personal belongings, right?"

A young agent followed behind his superior, while his superior walked through the corridor with an expressionless face. He said, "Don't ask why, just execute the order."

"It's not just Captain America; all members of the Avengers organization must undergo secret investigation."

"But didn't we already vote to conduct global cooperation? Why do we still need to conduct internal secret investigations?"

"That so-called Superhuman Registration Act didn't succeed. The congressmen have no way to understand the information of these superheroes, so they can only investigate themselves. Thank their desire for control, wanting to master everything. This is our job."

Turning a corner, the superior pointed to a door nearby and said to the young agent behind him, "Go there, get your equipment, and set off with your team leader."

After the young agent nodded and left, the superior shook his head helplessly, sighed, and said, "If it weren't for the damn S. H. I. E. L. D. pulling away most of our manpower, we wouldn't let such inexperienced rookies go out on field missions."

After speaking, he strode toward the floor below. After entering an office, he greeted the figure sitting in the seat and said, "Marc, good afternoon. Do you not have any field missions today?"

"Hmm, there is one, but I don't quite understand. I'm going to protect Stark. Why is that?"

The superior walked to Marc's side, put his arm around his shoulder, and said, "I thought only rookies would ask such questions. Remember our principle?"

Marc sighed and said, "Don't ask why, just ask how to do it... Alright, I'll go now. But seriously, how much longer until I can resign? My mental state is getting worse and worse."

Marc pressed his hand against the side of his head and said, "Just a moment ago, I fainted for a while. After waking up, I still didn't know what happened. Can't I take medical retirement?"

The superior comforted him again, then watched him leave the room with his equipment. After he left, the smile on the superior's face faded. He took out his communicator and said to the other side, "He's gone. Go search his belongings. Don't leave any traces; he's still useful."

On the other side, in Stark Tower, Stark looked at the arriving Marc team and also felt very confused.

He looked Marc up and down and said, "Aren't you that Khonshu believer who went crazy with Schiller that day? Don't tell me you're responsible for the security of this exhibition."

"That's right, it's me." Marc wasn't very patient either. For someone who wanted to retire, all work before retirement was just going through the motions.

Moreover, he felt this was really absurd. Why did he have to come to protect Iron Man? What protection did Iron Man need?

But Marc opened his mouth, and it turned into another question: "Why do you want to hold a technology exhibition now?"

Stark scoffed and said, "Someone, in order to retaliate against me, said he only knew how to screw in lightbulbs, and then caused a whole bunch of trouble, even changing the pattern of the Earth and making them unite."

"Before, the Solar System Construction Project hadn't made much progress. He could be considered to have done me a favor, but Stark never owes anyone a favor."

"Now, showing off some advanced technology will help boost the confidence of the newly formed coalition. At the same time, I will use these technologies as rewards. Whoever contributes the most takes them away, regardless of country, regardless of stance..."

Stark crossed his arms and said, "Although our goals are consistent, I must prove that only Stark is the backbone of human civilization. Every Stark, in every era, is."

"Alright, I'll take people to the exhibition site for a tour to eliminate potential hidden dangers. Before the products enter, they must also be handed over to me for inspection to ensure there are no parts that could pose public safety hazards..."

Marc recited the contents of the agent security manual, and Stark listened with extreme impatience.

But Marc was even more impatient. He was supposed to be retiring, yet he had taken on such a thankless and difficult job. Sure enough, his superior just didn't like him and was deliberately making things difficult for him.

After arguing with Stark for a long time, Marc was incredibly irritable. He could only say, "I'm going to the restroom. We'll confirm the specific details when I get back."

Walking into the restroom, Marc finally couldn't hold it in anymore. He shook his head vigorously and turned on the faucet, wanting to wash his face with cold water to clear his head. But the moment he looked up at the mirror, a ferocious expression flashed across his face.

That was a cold and cruel gaze that didn't belong to him. Marc leaned against the edge of the sink and groaned, "No... don't, don't let him come out... help me..."

Khonshu didn't respond. Marc leaned against the sink, buried his face in the basin, and retched. After he looked up and straightened his waist, what appeared in the mirror was Jake's expressionless face.

Stark was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the scenery outside.

He wasn't patient enough to deal with this group of agents either, but he knew this wasn't the right time to fall out. The opportunity Schiller created was seamless. Whether human civilization could condense and embark on a path of prosperity depended on this one push. It wasn't the time to cause trouble.

Soon, a figure appeared behind him. Stark didn't react at all before the giant cross-shaped light formed by crossed dual blades struck toward him.

"Bang!"

The floor-to-ceiling window at the top of Stark Tower shattered in response, and the armor flew out. Chasing behind him was the bandage-wrapped Moon Knight killer.

"Marc!

What are you doing?! Are you crazy?!

" Stark roared.

But Marc ignored him completely. He just kept using the dual blades to create huge blade lights. Even though it was daytime, the strange light effect belonging to Khonshu could be seen throughout New York.

Soon, the news of Marc and Iron Man's battle spread to all major departments, and no one knew what had happened.

But soon, information completely beyond their expectations followed one after another.

"Hey, sir, there's bad news. We did find something related to the Soviet Union in Marc's personal belongings. It should be a Soviet medal, but I don't recognize what specific medal it is."

Marc's superior held the phone, frowned, and said, "I knew it... He was so anxious to resign, it must be because he was afraid we would find out his secret!"

He took a deep breath and said, "Don't act rashly for now. In this sensitive period, an arrest warrant might not be approved. Put the things back in their original place; I'll report to the Council first."

After hanging up the phone, he dialed again. The person answering the phone was a congressman in the conference room.

Hearing the situation reported by the superior, the congressman frowned deeply and said, "I remember you said last time that this agent named Marc disappeared with Schiller for a long time?"

"That's right, and the special abilities they displayed before have similarities. Perhaps they are both products of Soviet experiments..."

The congressman sighed and said, "Don't move him for now, so as not to stimulate Schiller. Further investigation is still needed." ===== CHAPTER 543 =====
