On the screen.
"Hill!"
Nick Fury murmured, watching Hill. He watched, helpless, as Agent Hill completely evaporated before his eyes.
There was no way to stop it.
Not just Agent Hill, but some of the onlookers also suffered the same fate, turning to ash.
"Get out of the way!"
After a moment of shock, Nick Fury suddenly remembered something. He shoved the pedestrians aside, quickly went to the back seat, and took out a device that looked like an old pager.
But before he could do anything, Nick Fury's hand also turned to dust.
"Oh, no!" Nick Fury shook his head repeatedly, unable to help but curse, "Motherf…"
But before he could finish, his head also turned to dust. The second half of "fucker" naturally vanished, never to be uttered.
The explanation for this question ended with Nick Fury's heartfelt call to his mother before his death, and the image froze.
However, everyone's mood couldn't calm down for a moment. Although this video wasn't very long, the information it conveyed was extremely important.
The information was simply explosive.
And it was all very important information.
"Motherfucker, he didn't even get to say 'fucker,' so that's how it was! That's the truth behind Nick Fury calling out to his mother before he died!"
Thor glanced at Nick Fury with a speechless expression, thinking this was utterly ridiculous.
They had all been seriously analyzing it, believing the answer had to be someone who loved their mother, someone incredibly filial, and so on…
And the truth was this!
Coulson seemed to have been played by Nick Fury!
"Alright, let's get back to the question," Nick Fury coughed, feeling everyone staring at him strangely, and steered the conversation back on track.
"This question has revealed some very important information, which we need to analyze carefully," Nick Fury said to everyone, his face serious.
"Nick Fury, you died once before, but now, you've died again," Captain America was the first to speak, pointing out the crucial point.
"A person can't die twice!" Iron Man chimed in matter-of-factly, "So there's only one answer: Nick Fury didn't actually die last time."
In this video clip, Nick Fury was reduced to ashes, completely and utterly dead.
In the original scenario where Captain America was captured, Nick Fury's death was only conveyed through conversations between Captain America, Pierce, and others.
The video didn't show Nick Fury's death process.
So, comparing the two, it was certain that Nick Fury hadn't actually died that time.
Nick Fury's expression softened a bit. That's more like it. How could a legend like him, the great Nick Fury, be taken down by some measly assassination?
That would be an insult to his reputation! Was he really that easy to kill?
The power displayed here, something that was clearly supernatural, was more befitting of his status. "Indeed, I likely used some tricks and faked my death," Nick Fury admitted with a nod, confirming his theory.
It was obvious.
At that time, not only Captain America, but everyone, including Alexander Pierce, believed he was dead.
As the head of S.H.I.E.L.D., if Pierce was certain that Nick Fury was dead, it must have been the result of confirmation.
After their confirmation, they were convinced that Nick Fury, who wasn't actually dead, was dead. There was only one possibility: Nick Fury was faking his death.
"Nick Fury, you're the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Even you had to resort to faking your death. Whoever is pulling the strings behind the scenes, their power is terrifying," Captain America said to Nick Fury with a serious expression.
Nick Fury agreed completely.
"Sir, so you 'died' once in the future? Is this the future you hinted at during the quiz with Captain and Stark?"
Black Widow spoke up from the side, asking softly.
"Nick Fury, didn't you tell Natasha and the others who were answering the questions?" Captain America glanced at Nick Fury with some dissatisfaction.
To Captain America, the future predicted by the quiz system was incredibly important. It was a matter of the world's survival, even the fate of the universe.
Such crucial intelligence naturally deserved to be shared among the participants. Captain America himself had done just that.
However, it seemed that Nick Fury, that sneaky bastard, was keeping his quiz information to himself.
"Director, Captain is right. I want you to be as open with me about the information from the quiz system as I am with you," Black Widow said sternly to Nick Fury.
When Nick Fury assigned her tasks like investigating a certain secret base, Black Widow had already suspected that he had obtained some information from the quiz system.
So she had taken appropriate action.
She had been waiting for Nick Fury to tell her, but the Director, that bald-headed hero, had no intention of doing so. He only gave her orders, never sharing any information.
"Fine!" Nick Fury didn't press the issue, nodding instead. "Romanoff, Coulson, I'll share the intelligence we got from the last quiz with you later."
"Agent, how about we find a place to have a drink? I can tell you everything slowly. What do you say?"
Iron Man, even at a time like this, couldn't resist flirting with Black Widow. He truly was the playboy who'd slept with all the magazine cover girls.
Captain America couldn't help but frown slightly. He really didn't like Stark's lack of seriousness during such a critical moment.
"Alright, let's get back to the question!" Captain America said sternly to everyone, mainly to Iron Man.
Following that, Captain America began to share his conclusions.
"At the very least, we can determine the approximate timing of this question. It happened after Nick Fury was assassinated by a mysterious force and had to fake his death."
This was also obvious. If Nick Fury had turned to ash, how could he fake his death?
Undoubtedly, turning to ash came after the fake death.
"The mastermind used a supernatural method to turn many people into ash out of thin air. Coupled with the 'unidentified object appearing in Wakanda,' what can you all connect?"
Iron Man looked seriously at everyone present.
