When Coulson arrived at the location with nine field agents behind him, Kurohane had just completed his 11th interrogation cycle on Fury. The interrogation work was proceeding 'very smoothly'; Fury hadn't even managed to utter a single curse word. Kurohane had also successfully collected 10 Justice Points from him. Just as he was about to claim the fourth reward, the system seemed to detect a 'disturbance' and stopped giving Justice Points after Kurohane 'interrupted' Fury's cursing for the 11th time.
Right on time, Coulson arrived. It was time to get to work! However, the people Coulson brought this time... Kurohane recognized them all. They were all Hydra moles!
Kurohane: (Eyes narrowed, incredulous expression) (＝ω＝.)
All I can say is, S.H.I.E.L.D. really lives up to its name! Where are the good guys here?! Kurohane thought furiously.
"Coulson, first take a look at the alien corpse inside that Land Rover. I shot and killed it. Right after I eliminated this alien, our Director Fury appeared, swearing rudely. He was also shot by me, but the clothes he's wearing seem to be alien technology, with excellent bulletproof capabilities. So, all I could do was handcuff him and hang him here," Kurohane went straight to the point, telling his version. Coulson directed the Hydra agents to inspect the Land Rover, and sure enough, they found the Skrull corpse with a gaping hole in its head, clear evidence of Kurohane's 'work'. Coulson then holstered his weapon and approached Kurohane, looking at the unconscious Fury. For a moment, he didn't know what to do!
"Uh, did you... get anything out of him?" Coulson asked hesitantly.
"Nothing came out. He immediately started swearing as soon as he woke up. Coulson, you know me, I really can't stand such insults! So, I chose to use a noose to shut him up! Moreover, I suspect Fury has undergone alien modification. How could an ordinary person, not even a trained agent, survive 11 instances of near suffocation! But this guy could endure it and even had the energy to swear. Look, I'll wake him up!" Kurohane drew his pistol and shot Fury in the thigh. Although his pants were bulletproof, the impact force of the bullet was still effective. The intense pain woke Fury up. Only this time he didn't open his mouth to curse. Kurohane's 'training' method was indeed very effective! He had already silenced the King of Agents!
When Director Fury saw Coulson, he was so emotional that tears almost welled up in his eyes! At that moment, he only wished he could shoot dead the subordinate he had personally promoted. Kurohane was truly heartless and depraved! Such a vicious person was actually sent to him by Coulson! If Coulson hadn't been shot, how could he justify the torture he had endured today?! Calming his emotions, Fury once again exuded the aura of a superior.
"Coulson, is this the 'good' subordinate you found for me?!" Fury growled.
"Nick, in the name of S.H.I.E.L.D., I'm arresting you on suspicion of colluding with aliens and attempting to attack Earth! You have the right to remain silent, but anything you say will be used as evidence in court!" Coulson also put on a cold face. He knew about the Skrull problem, but because Kurohane, this hothead, had caught him in the act, he had no choice but to go along with it! Otherwise, his fate might be the same as Fury's!
"Are you crazy too?! Coulson! I'm innocent! That lunatic Kurohane... Arggh!" Fury immediately understood Coulson's meaning. He didn't know if he could tell Kurohane about the Skrulls, and with so many field agents present, he could only cooperate with Coulson's charade! As a result, in the middle of his sentence, Kurohane tightened the noose again, cutting off his words!
"An alien corpse that looks just like you is inside the car. You know what that means? That alien can turn into you, they can also turn into me, or even the President! Our S.H.I.E.L.D. was originally formed to deal with these special incidents. As the Director, not only did you not handle it, but you also colluded with this alien! And you still say you're innocent?! If I didn't need information about these aliens, I would have killed you right now!" Kurohane pulled the rope on one side and slapped Fury hard with the back of his hand on the other. His brow was deeply furrowed, his chest heaving rapidly, looking extremely angry and furious. "TALK! Where are those damned alien invaders?!"
Kurohane fully displayed his 'talent' for labeling people. Initially they were just unknown aliens, now they had completely become 'alien invaders'. The Skrulls were indeed coming for the Secret Invasion, so Kurohane was already eyeing this walking 'money bag' of Justice Points and could also 'trick' Fury along the way. Plus, preventing an alien invasion, how many Justice Points could he get! To hear Fury's answer, Kurohane slightly loosened the rope, allowing Fury to take two deep breaths.
"Motherf... Arggh!"
"Swear again, and I'll break your finger!" Fury's old habits returned, but Kurohane quickly pulled the rope back, an external yellow card! Seeing Fury's eyes roll back, Kurohane loosened the rope a little more. After coughing violently once more, Fury finally calmed down. After sorting through his thoughts, he stared sharply at Kurohane and said:
"What exactly do you want? The Skrulls are S.H.I.E.L.D.'s biggest secret, a classified matter that can only be accessed with Level 10 clearance. They came to Earth decades ago. They are peaceful aliens on Earth, and you! Kurohane! You just killed an alien agent of our S.H.I.E.L.D.! You bastard... Aaaaargh!"
CRACK!
Fury's left pinky finger made a sharp clicking sound and contorted in Kurohane's hand. It was bent at an unnatural angle; clearly broken!
"I told you, if you swear again, I'll break your finger! If you don't believe me, you can keep swearing. I want to see how foul your mouth is!" Kurohane was extremely calm at this moment. Just a Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., compared to the countless Skrulls, he was nothing! If you're not ruthless, you can't survive! Now was the time for him and Fury to see who was more ruthless!
"Kurohane, could it be that we've misunderstood Director Nick Fury?" Coulson realized at that moment that the situation was developing strangely. Why did Kurohane seem like he had become the villain? Initially it was just acting, but Kurohane didn't know! Breaking the Director's finger just because of a sentence, this action was too realistic!
"Coulson, you actually believe the words of a traitor instead of the facts you see?" Kurohane's eyes were full of 'disbelief', and he acted very convincingly. Even the Hydra colleagues behind Coulson watched with great interest. They hadn't expected to get such 'big news' from this field mission. It would have been great if they had a bottle of beer right now!
Kurohane tightened the noose, making Fury's eyes roll back again, then pointed his pistol at Coulson. "Since you believe this damned traitor, I have nothing more to say. Squat down and put your hands on your head!"
