The surveillance range was far less comprehensive than what the drones could do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke could only do it himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared with the drones, he could detect more with his personal abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Sharp Nose picked up a familiar scent, but it was very faint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It drifted over from an alley dozens of meters away, and were only specks of scent molecules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it wasn’t for the fact that Luke had a deep impression of the scent, he might have overlooked it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood up and bit into his burger as he strolled toward the source of the scent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That person wasn’t an enemy or a rookie. Luke wasn’t in a hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, he passed through an apartment building and entered an alley next door. He saw a small entrance in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes flickered. Wasn’t this D.C. Central Hospital?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Egg had “died” in the E.R. here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that was the case, it made sense for that person to appear here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering the hospital building, however, he dismissed this thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scent suggested that the person had only been here for 20 minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nick Fury had been “dead” for almost two hours. Why was this person here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Agents didn’t do meaningless things. Nick Fury was very important when he was alive, but if he had really become a corpse, it wasn’t necessarily worth it to come back here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke soon found the owner of the scent — the Black Widow, Natasha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person who grabbed her and pushed her into a corner was another acquaintance — Captain Steve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke was amused. Sure enough, things weren’t that simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t show his face. He simply listened to the conversation between the two people ten meters away with Elementary Sound Wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, the duo left together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke thought for a moment before he told Frank and Tony about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both parties simply replied, “Copy that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They only needed to know what was going on, and Luke didn’t need them to do anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke slowly followed Steve and Natasha, and only stopped when they put on disguises and stole a Chevrolet pickup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it was only the Level 2 clone that stopped following them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This strongest clone had to stay in D.C. in the event that something major happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Luke could only have his Level 1 clone follow the pickup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke and Steve had met many times, but they weren’t that close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he took the initiative to approach them, they would definitely be suspicious, and even more time would be wasted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, he had heard their conversation while tailing them earlier, and was clear on where they were going.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steve and Natasha’s target was Camp LeHigh in New Jersey, “Search our n?wno?el.?rg”which was only a little more than 200 kilometers from D.C. and which might lead to Hydra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, Luke could get his clone to act in the dark and earn experience and credit points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there really was an emergency in D.C., it would only take the clone a few minutes to fly back at full speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steve and Natasha reached the barracks in the evening, and opened the door to an underground base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke, who had arrived half an hour earlier, was carefully searching the base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This underground base used to belong to SHIELD, and had been abandoned for more than 20 years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a preliminary check earlier, it was true that nobody had been here for years, yet the lead which Natasha and Steve had was related to this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secondly, the power and ventilation in this underground base were fully functional, and there was a lot of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power supply was coming from a nearby farm, but for a detective like Luke, this was suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, when the police arrested suspects for growing weed at home, they would check the electric meter first most of the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Electricity was indispensable in modern life and work. Too much electricity being consumed would easily arouse suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was thanks to Tony’s arc reactor that Luke was able to power his research work and keep it secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was unlikely that this abandoned base had an arc reactor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To generate its own electricity, it would need its own power station as well as an ample power source (water, wind or coal). That was even harder to keep secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A drone silently watched Steve and Natasha find a hidden elevator, enter a password and descend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, in a computer room full of a bunch of ancient computers, the first thing that caught their attention was an eye-catching USB drive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared with other dusty old computers and storage equipment, this drive was clearly a product of recent years. It was also connected to an old computer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep in thought, Natasha took out a silver USB from her pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This USB was the reason why Nick Fury had been “killed” and why Steve was wanted by SHIELD.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Nick Fury “died,” he had given it to Steve and told him not to trust anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Steve returned to SHIELD, he had hidden the USB in a hospital vending machine for fear of Hydra discovering it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, it was the cunning Natasha who had picked it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Natasha wasn’t Hydra, so she helped Steve find the data point of the USB — this old computer room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, she plugged in the USB, and the old computers around her lit up and got to work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A notification popped up on an ancient monitor. “Activate system?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief hesitation, she typed “Yes” on the keyboard and pressed ‘Enter.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The computer whirred even faster, and the monitor glowed with a green light as it put together a blurry human face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ancient monitor could only display green on the black screen, so the face was hideous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He liked to fiddle with old things the most, but he had never played with an antique computer like this before. It looked quite interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the face directly called out Steven and Natalia’s names and ages, and revealed its own name — Arnim Zola.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been a scientist under the Red Skull in World War II, and a backbone of Hydra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Dr. Zola was actually Swiss, and had died of lung cancer in 1972.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the green ghost face claimed that it was Dr. Zola.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Dr. Zola died, his mind or whatever had been stored in the computers here, turning him into an “it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Underground, Steve and Natasha were both shocked. On the surface, Luke’s eyes were practically glowing green.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Zola revealed his identity, Luke immediately sent an emergency communication request to Tony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony immediately picked up. “Did something happen?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke simply sent him the video taken by the drone and said, “It seems there’s still a gap between Jarvis and a real A.I.?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1206,"2026-06-06T03:36:34.766Z",1,"novelbin.me","59fe81dcb89a20522a197d435f61753a874707383e1b7332535a00d1f8f51808","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-1639","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-1637",2233,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-detective-in-the-fictional-world-cover.jpg"]
