Sitwell didn't dare to leave anything out, recounting everything from when he joined Hydra to his most recent mission.
This included the Hydra agents he had contact with, as well as all the Hydra members under his management, all of which he meticulously recorded on paper.
Natasha took notes as she listened, but her gaze suddenly sharpened when he mentioned a certain mission.
Although she realized the importance of the mission, she still planned to wait until Sitwell had finished recounting everything before starting to ask questions.
Behind the two-way mirror, Nick Fury's eyes also grew sharp when he heard about this mission.
He raised his hand and touched the earpiece in his ear, then said to Natasha, who was on the same channel: "You should have noticed the mission he just mentioned. Ask him in detail after he's finished speaking."
Hearing Nick Fury's voice in her earpiece, Natasha in the interrogation room nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
Finally, Sitwell finished recounting all the missions he had undertaken and the names of all the Hydra agents he knew.
Long-winded explanations always made Sitwell feel a bit parched, but even so, he didn't dare ask for anything.
He was afraid that if he said he wanted some water, the black-suited agents behind him would immediately rush forward and shove him back into that big water tank.
Calculating the likelihood of such a thing happening, Sitwell decided to shut up and avoid taking such risky actions.
Natasha also pondered for a moment after listening to Sitwell's account, before asking, "You just said you received a mission right after the Battle of New York, and it was Strucker who gave it to you."
"Tell me the details of this mission, without leaving out any specifics."
It turned out that, on the surface, Sitwell was a Hydra agent from Pierce's faction, but he actually belonged to Strucker's faction. Moreover, he was sent to infiltrate Pierce's Hydra - Sokovia branch as an agent.
After hearing Natasha's instructions, Sitwell hurriedly recounted the details of his mission after the Battle of New York.
"I also received the mission notification that day. Sokovia gave me a S.H.I.E.L.D. box and told me to swap it with the box containing Loki's Scepter after the battle."
"Although I didn't see what was in the box, since it was exchanged for Loki's Scepter, I think it should also contain a scepter, only it should be a replica."
"After I was done, I handed it over to the other personnel who were coordinating with me, and then I didn't know what happened afterwards."
After listening to Sitwell's account, Natasha and Nick Fury fell silent at the same time.
If it was as Sitwell said, then after the battle ended, the fake Loki's Scepter should have been the one finally handed over to Thor.
The fake one was taken away by Thor, so where did the real one go? Was it transported to Sokovia? So much time had passed, what had Strucker done with it?
Various questions swirled in their minds. Natasha instructed the black-clad agents to keep an eye on Sitwell and then walked out of the interrogation room.
Outside the door, Nick Fury was also waiting for her.
"Is this good news or bad news?" Natasha looked at Nick Fury and said with some helplessness.
It could be considered good news, since so much time has passed, and who knows what Strucker has been doing with the Scepter.
But it could also be bad news. Now that they've discovered this, it would be a much more serious problem if they had remained in the dark.
Nick Fury understood Natasha's meaning. He frowned and pondered for a moment before saying in a low voice, "We need to find the Captain, and the other Avengers. The Scepter has been missing for so long, we can't be sure how serious the situation is."
"We need to find the Scepter's location quickly and retrieve it. We can't let it remain with Hydra any longer."
Natasha nodded in agreement, then asked Nick Fury, "What about Ghost? Should we inform him?"
After hearing Natasha's question, Nick Fury also thought for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I'll go find Ghost and explain the situation to him. You go and gather Rogers and Tony Stark."
"Remember to emphasize the seriousness of the problem. Don't let them take it lightly, especially Tony Stark."
Natasha nodded after hearing Nick Fury's arrangements, and then immediately went out to take action.
"Damn Hydra, they're so cunning. How did they pull this off?" Nick Fury was filled with frustration; he really couldn't understand how Hydra had done it.
The battle hadn't even ended, and they already knew the Avengers would win.
And in such a short amount of time, they had swapped out Loki's Scepter. The speed was unbelievable.
Nick Fury frowned, unable to figure it out. Thinking it over, the only thing he could think of was that the spies within S.H.I.E.L.D. had leaked the information long ago.
It was estimated that Hydra had been eyeing Loki's Scepter since Loki first appeared. Only then could they have created a replica of the scepter in such a short time, and then carried out the swap.
This was the only reasonable explanation for this switch, but even this explanation still had one unclear point: how exactly did Hydra make this replica?
You have to know that Loki's Scepter had energy fluctuations similar to the Tesseract. S.H.I.E.L.D. had been researching this energy for decades without much success. How did Hydra manage to replicate this energy fluctuation?
Nick Fury thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a reasonable answer. In the end, he could only shake his head as if giving up, then took out the communicator Meng Ran had given him and started contacting him.
Although the two had known each other for several years, and had dealt with each other so many times, he was still completely in the dark about Ghost's whereabouts, knowing nothing at all.
Every time he wanted to contact Ghost, he could only do so through the communicator he'd provided earlier.
Nick Fury looked at the communicator after sending the message, then pulled out something from his pocket that looked like an old pager.
Although this pager looked old, it was also a specially modified device, and one of Nick Fury's trump cards.
"Why do these people all like to mess with this stuff? Can't figure it out."
Nick Fury was thinking to himself, then shook his head gently and put the old pager and Ghost's communicator back into his pocket.
