Agent Hill stood aside, watching Jerome and the scientists boastfully discussing.
She silently noted everything being discussed, preparing to relay it to S.H.I.E.L.D.
“BOSS, the Photonic Blood Framework has been completed! Would you like to review it now?”
Just then, a figure burst into the lab, excitedly reporting to Jerome.
“The framework is complete? Let’s go take a look!”
Jerome immediately led the way to another area.
“Photonic Blood Framework, what is that…”
Agent Hill’s gaze flickered, and she quickly followed Jerome and the others.
The lab they left behind was now guarded only by a few custodians of the Ophion.
Down the corridor, a brand new lab appeared before Agent Hill.
But what shocked her even more were three armor frameworks submerged in a strange liquid!
“Inject the Photonic Blood!”
Once Jerome was in position, an older researcher immediately issued the command.
Several researchers operated various lab devices that sprang into action.
Zzzt! Different colored halos were immediately injected into the three submerged armor frameworks.
The three armor frameworks seemed to come to life, rapidly absorbing the surrounding liquid.
It was liquid metal, quickly solidifying around the frameworks and forming into three dazzling armor sets!
The first shimmered with red particles, the second with yellow, and the third with silver.
Each set of armor looked unique and full of technological sophistication.
“Armor successfully formed!”
Watching the three sets of Rider Armor stabilize, the researchers beamed joyfully.
This meant their bonuses were secured.
“Good job everyone! You’ve all worked hard!”
Jerome nodded in satisfaction and said:
“Let’s continue with the armor condensation experiments and fitting tests!”
“Roger that!”
As Jerome gave his orders, the experimental staff began to move.
Agent Hill watched in awe as the researchers operated, and the three sets of armor turned into liquid, along with the Photonic Blood, starting a continuous condensation process and finally being absorbed into a belt!
“The condensation experiment was very successful, and all three new Rider Armors were successfully integrated into the Rider Armor.”
The researchers happily reported the excellent news to Jerome.
“Very well, it’s getting late, and we have half an hour left until the end of the shift. Let’s continue the fitting experiments tomorrow.”
Jerome glanced at his watch.
Jerome Smart never advocates over time.
The lab personnel dispersed, and Agent Hill entered a private elevator with Jerome.
Agent Hill hadn’t yet recovered from what she had just seen.
This was her first time witnessing the production process of Rider Armor. It seemed simple, but the technology involved was immeasurable.
Does S.H.I.E.L.D. have this kind of technology?
Agent Hill thought pessimistically.
“What’s the matter? Were you scared by the Ophion?”
Jerome gently pinched Hill’s chin.
“Uh? A little.”
Knowing she had been distracted, Agent Hill immediately nodded.
Her complexion was slightly flushed, seemingly unaccustomed to Jerome’s recent intimate gesture.
“This is Jerome Smart’s responsibility. Ophion is too dangerous, so we must be prepared to protect against Ophion.
The three sets of Rider Armor we just saw are specifically made to combat Ophion.”
Jerome said with a light laugh.
“Then, is there a way to differentiate between humans and Ophion?”
Agent Hill remembered the task Coulson had given her and asked:
“If Ophion cannot be distinguished, doesn’t that mean everyone is suspect?”
“Of course, they can be distinguished. Ophions have a unique genetic marker, which we call the Ophion Factor. It can easily be identified through genetic observation.”
Jerome smiled.
“Understood! No wonder you ordered medical exams for everyone in the company the day before yesterday!”
Agent Hill immediately nodded.
“You know now. Not only that, but we will conduct a medical exam for our employees every quarter from now on.”
“Understood!”
Agent Hill listened intently, deciding to relay everything to Nick Fury and Coulson.
The two then returned to Jerome’s office.
“Welcome back!”
Happy to see them, Izz greeted the two warmly.
“I’ll go handle the paperwork now!”
Agent Hill was eager to meet with Coulson.
“Go ahead!”
Watching Agent Hill’s retreating figure, Jerome and Izz shared a smile.
“Let’s hope the folks at S.H.I.E.L.D. aren’t too frightened!”
Jerome’s face was full of a mischievous grin.
…
“Fury, this is the information Hill has relayed.”
In the director’s office at the S.H.I.E.L.D. Triskelion.
Coulson opened his smartwatch and played the recording of Agent Hill’s discussion.
“Three sets of new Rider Armor? A completely new series and Jerome Smart is this capable?”
Listening to Agent Hill’s report, Nick Fury looked astonished.
He had thought Rider 01 and Rider Balkan were Jerome Smart’s rarest equipment, but they had made three more armor sets.
“Tell Agent Hill, if possible, to send over the blueprints and data related to the Rider Armor.
Of course, don’t force it. Keep undercover for now, and don’t reveal your identity until necessary.”
After Fury finished speaking, he turned to Coulson:
“By the way, notify everyone tomorrow to start the medical exams! All agents must participate, no exceptions!”
“Understood!”
Coulson felt the gravity of the situation, hoping everything within S.H.I.E.L.D. was normal.
…
“This is the base of Ophion, huh? It looks quite imposing!”
Inside a building in Manhattan, New York.
Three figures walked into the building.
One was a muscular man.
Another was a man dressed in a plaid shirt, looking like an ordinary programmer.
And a young girl with delicate, cute features.
Their hearts were uneasy as they anxiously waited in the lobby.
“Hello! All three of you!”
Soon, a figure in a blue uniform appeared before them.
She looked innocent and harmless.
“Are you in charge here?”
Looking at the suddenly appearing girl, the three were a bit nervous.
The boldest of the trio, the muscular man, couldn’t help but speak up:
“We came here because of that business card, and we heard this place offers refuge to Ophions. Is that right?”
