Chapter 95 Nick Fury is a fake.
Three days later, in the laboratory.
Today is the day Frank goes to keep his appointment, and also the day Banner and Connors mass-produce the Dragon's Blood Potion.
This batch consists entirely of complete versions, totaling thirteen pieces.
Li En carefully packed the vials of medicine into a box and then put it into the spatial storage.
He had no intention of helping Frank, nor did he intend to go and watch the game.
Another guest is coming today.
He turned around and looked at the open door of the laboratory.
A man dressed in a black trench coat and wearing an eye patch stood behind the door.
Melinda and Natasha stood on either side of him.
The person who arrived was Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
He walked in expressionlessly, his gaze sweeping over the centrifuges and test tube racks that were running in the laboratory.
It paused on Connors for a moment, then passed over Banner, and finally landed on Lee.
He got straight to the point without even saying hello.
"What do you mean by calling S.H.I.E.L.D. a snake pit?"
Li En did not answer.
He walked to the side, his eyes scanning Nick Fury back and forth several times.
From head to toe, from the width of the shoulders to the center of gravity of the stance, and then to the distance and angle between the feet.
Then he walked up to Nick Fury, stood in front of him, and extended his right hand with his five fingers spread.
Seeing this, Nick Fury also raised his hand, about to shake it.
Just as their hands were about to touch, Li En flipped his fingers, and a scalpel appeared out of thin air between his fingers.
The blade sliced cleanly and swiftly across Nick Fury's palm.
"Fuck you!" Nick Fury immediately stepped back, covering the wound on his right palm with his left hand.
At the same time, Natasha and Melinda both drew their pistols.
However, neither of them pointed their guns at Lee Eun.
They stood in the doorway, guns lowered, aimed at Nick Fury.
Melinda's gaze went past the crosshairs and locked onto Nick Fury's face.
Nick Fury glanced down at the red blood seeping from between his fingers, then looked up at his two top agents and cursed.
"Fuck you! Are you trying to rebel?"
Melinda spoke coldly, her tone unwavering: "There must be a reason why Li En suddenly attacked you."
Natasha stared silently at Nick Fury, not uttering a word, her gun remaining perfectly still.
The instant Li En brandished the scalpel, their instinctive reaction was to point their guns at him.
But when they saw Lee Eun approaching with a scalpel and carefully examining the blood on the blade, they realized something was wrong.
You can see Li En as crazy, but you must never see him as stupid.
In front of two senior S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, he suddenly attacked the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. with a knife.
This behavior itself speaks volumes.
That's why the two of them lowered their guns and kept an eye on Nick Fury.
Li En carefully examined the bloodstains on the scalpel.
Its color is no different from that of a normal human, and its viscosity is also normal.
He turned and walked over to Banner and Connors, handing them the scalpel in a calm tone.
"Check it quickly."
Without asking any further questions, Connors took the scalpel, turned around, placed it under the microscope, and adjusted the focus.
Banner immediately went to the workbench next to him and began preparing reagents, intending to conduct further analysis on the blood sample.
Nick Fury's face darkened when he saw the two men's actions.
He yelled at Melinda and Natasha again, raising his voice several decibels.
"Fuck you! Didn't you see I was attacked? What are you doing?!"
As he began to curse, his lips trembled slightly, his eyes widened, and he moved his feet slightly, inching closer to the window.
Li En moved forward, walked to the window first, stood still, put his hands in his pockets, and blocked the entire window with his back.
"Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., don't worry, we'll have the results soon."
"9
His tone was exactly the same as when he handed over the scalpel, without any change in expression.
"If a blood test proves you're fine, as an apology for scratching your palm, I will answer your three questions in full."
"Any three questions will do."
Nick Fury turned his head and stared intently at Lee.
He shut his mouth, and the anger on his face slowly subsided.
After a moment, he spoke, his voice much lower than before.
How do you even know about something like this?
Upon hearing this, Melinda and Natasha simultaneously raised their guns and aimed them at his head.
Nick Fury raised his hands.
By this time, the scratches on his palm had completely healed.
The wound has closed, the skin is smooth, leaving only a faint red line that is fading at a visible rate.
Although Li En's cuts were shallow, it would be impossible for a normal human to heal in such a short time.
He still had his hands raised, and quickly added a sentence.
"Please don't get agitated. I'm Director Fury's double. Please allow me to make a phone call so that Director Fury can verify this."
""
He first lifted the hem of his black trench coat with his right hand, revealing the pocket on the lining, and showed it to the three people.
The movements were slow, and each finger joint was deliberately kept within sight.
Then he slowly reached in and pulled a cell phone out of his pocket, holding it between two fingers.
He unlocked the screen with one hand, pressed a pre-saved number, and dialed it.
After five or six busy signals, the call was finally connected.
"Chief Fury, my identity has been discovered."
He said this to the person on the other end of the phone, and then handed the phone towards Melinda.
Melinda took two steps forward, grabbed the phone, and held it to her ear.
"The bureau chief?"
"The person who went with you to see Li En was indeed my double, so don't worry."
Nick Fury's voice came through the receiver, with the same pace and tone that Melinda was familiar with.
"Hand the phone to Li En."
Melinda still frowned, but didn't say anything more.
She walked over to Li En and handed her the phone.
Li En took the phone, held it to her ear, but didn't speak.
Fury's voice rang out first.
"Li En, you should know better than anyone why I hid."
"Since you had my men tell you that S.H.I.E.L.D. is a snake's den, you should also know something about Hydra."
"Based on my investigation, it is currently very dangerous inside S.H.I.E.L.D., which is why I chose to go into hiding."
"Is there anything else you want to say?" Li En replied calmly. There was no background noise on the other end of the phone, as if the other person was talking to him from space.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
"I'm planning to form a team and would like to invite you to join."
"Not interested."
Lee hung up the phone and tossed it back at the fake Nick Fury.
The other person caught the phone with one hand and put it back into the inner pocket of their trench coat.
Lee En stopped looking at him and turned to look at Melinda and Natasha.
"I've said before, I only accept face-to-face conversations."
The two senior agents remained silent.
They stood at the laboratory door, guns still in their hands, their faces expressionless, but the slight twitching of their brows betrayed that they were not at peace.
They were recalling all the moments they had interacted with "Nick Fury" during this period.
Trying to distinguish which time was real and which time was a stand-in.
The fake Nick Fury spoke up during this lull, his tone now calm and composed, a stark contrast to his previous cursing and swearing demeanor.
You could even say they are very polite and use very proper language.
"I risked my life to be the bureau chief's double, can't I leave now?"
Li En glanced at the lab bench, where Banner and Connors were still doing blood analysis, and waved.
The fake Fury took two steps back toward the door, then turned and strode out.
Melinda and Natasha exchanged a glance, then simultaneously put away their guns and followed the fake Fury out of the lab.
About half an hour later, Banner dropped the last set of reagents into the sample well.
Connors straightened up from in front of the microscope, took off his glasses, and rubbed his temples.
The two exchanged a glance.
Banner tilted his chin toward Connors: "You tell him."
Connors nodded.
He didn't intend to show Li En the densely packed blood analysis data; she wouldn't understand it anyway.
He placed his hands on the edge of the lab table and stated his conclusion directly.
"Li En, that thing that just appeared wasn't from Earth."
He paused, as if organizing his thoughts, and then continued, "His cellular structure is completely different from that of humans—the composition of the cell membrane, the arrangement of chromosomes inside the cell nucleus, the metabolic pathways—"
"None of these match any of the known life forms on Earth."
"Although the color and viscosity of the blood look almost indistinguishable from human blood, that's a layer of camouflage."
"The kernel is a completely different set of underlying code."
Banner slid off the lab table, walked over to the two of them, and then added.
"This guy's cells have an extremely strong self-repairing ability."
"We observed that the samples remained active for a considerable period of time after leaving the living organism, and the repair mechanism did not shut down immediately."
"Unlike the Hulk's cells, which rely on protective cell division and ultra-fast cell division for repair, this guy's repair is more like—it's an inherent feature of his being. It's written into his genes."
He paused, then scratched the back of his head.
"To be honest, I'd really like to see a live one again."
Connors adjusted his glasses, a hint of barely perceptible emotion in his voice.
"I never imagined that the blood screenings you started when the school was first established could actually detect aliens."
Li En responded softly, her tone indifferent: "I was just taking precautions. All the blood test results for previous new employees were normal."
"Natasha, Melinda, and Damon are all fine; they just feel that doing this is better than doing nothing."
"I never imagined that the problem would be with the director of S.H.I.E.L.D."
Long before Umbrella School was built and Connors joined as a professor, Li En had already quietly arranged a process.
All personnel who come to the school for employment will have their blood samples drawn under the pretext of a pre-employment medical examination. These samples will then be submitted to Connors and Banner for biological analysis and archiving.
The reason is very simple.
In this world, you never know whether the person standing in front of you is actually human.
When he first met Nick Fury, he always felt that the other man's walking posture was a bit awkward.
To describe it, it has a body shape that is close to that of a human, but the way it shifts its center of gravity when walking is quite different.
It's difficult to express precisely in words.
However, the instinct for observation developed during combat training has always been resonating.
So he decided to take the opportunity to check on the bureau chief as well.
I never expected to actually win the lottery.
Banner turned around, picked up a test tube from the lab table, and held it up to the fluorescent light.
The tube wall was labeled with illegible handwriting; it was a code that Connors had just written down.
But just as he was swaying, the red blood turned bluish-green, which was its original color.
"This guy's cells are really interesting." Banner's voice was filled with pure curiosity and excitement.
"It is slower to repair than the Hulk, but it has the advantage of not requiring any external intervention."

"If we can figure out how its repair pathway bypasses telomere shortening, it will greatly help in upgrading the Dragon's Blood Agent."
Connors nodded quickly.
"That's right. There is a limit to the number of times human cells can divide. Telomeres shorten with each division, and when they reach their limit, the cell enters the senescent stage."
"Banner's unlimited division is due to a mutation, while the Dragon Blood Potion repairs cell division damage and still has a clear upper limit."
"But this guy's telomeres remain completely unchanged. It doesn't pay any price in terms of lifespan during the repair process, which is completely different from humans. It's very worthy of research."
Li En nodded.
"Until I get blood samples from vampires and werewolves, you guys can use this to study and see if you can upgrade the dragon blood potion to the next level."
"I'll go and upgrade Bright and all the newly recruited special forces members first."
"Now that aliens have really appeared, we need to become stronger faster."
He tucked the box under his arm and walked toward the lab door. He paused briefly beside the door frame and turned his head to the side.
"Protect the children in the school."
