At this moment, in the Star of David base, Meng Ran and Liu Xiu were in the lab, fiddling with methods to remove the chip.
After two days of research, they had already determined a clear direction. As long as they continued along this path, they should soon have corresponding results.
Meng Ran also believed that the technology to remove the chip would be conquered by them soon.
Just as the two were engrossed in their research in the lab, Xiao Bai's voice suddenly came from the overhead speaker.
"Sir, Nick Fury has sent you a message, wanting to meet with you."
"Hmm? What's going on? Shouldn't he be busy clearing out Hydra and spies right now?"
Hearing Xiao Bai's voice, Meng Ran also looked up and took off his lab glasses.
"There should be some kind of emergency," Liu Xiu said to Meng Ran, also taking off his glasses.
Meng Ran nodded at the words, then frowned and said, "It should be an emergency. Otherwise, given Nick Fury's personality, he wouldn't come looking for me so easily."
"I hope it's not too much trouble."
Meng Ran put his glasses on the table, and as he spoke, he put away the half-finished experiment.
After finishing, he turned to Liu Xiu and instructed, "Xiu'er, I'll go see what's going on first. You continue the experiment. I feel like it should be close to success now."
Liu Xiu nodded at his instructions, then made an OK gesture and said, "Don't worry, maybe I'll have succeeded by the time you get back."
Meng Ran smiled when he heard this, "Then I'll be looking forward to it."
After saying that, he walked out of the lab, and as he listened to Xiao Bai report the place Nick Fury had agreed on, he walked towards the base gate.
"The agreed place is still that Abandoned Hydroelectric Station where he was recovering last time. Looks like I have to fly the plane." Meng Ran said softly, looking at the location marked by Xiao Bai.
After saying goodbye to Gwen and the others, he went to the hangar and flew the plane towards the agreed-upon Abandoned Hydroelectric Station.
At this moment, outside the Abandoned Hydroelectric Station, Nick Fury was standing on a dilapidated base station, watching the sun slowly sink below the horizon.
"Did something happen that you suddenly needed me?" The Evil Ghost's hoarse voice suddenly sounded from behind Nick Fury.
Nick Fury was already used to this situation.
He slowly turned around and looked at the Evil Ghost in front of him, saying in a low voice, "There is indeed some bad news."
"Do you remember Loki's Scepter?"
Hearing Nick Fury's question, Meng Ran quickly replied, "Of course I remember. Didn't Thor take it back to Asgard?"
Meng Ran immediately realized after saying this. If the Scepter was still in Asgard, why would Nick Fury ask him such a question?
Thinking about this, he asked Nick Fury in a low voice, "You mean Loki's Scepter is gone? Is it no longer in Asgard?"
"Could it be that Loki has gotten the scepter again and wants to launch another attack on Earth?"
"If that's the case, I don't mind really turning him to ashes, after all, I've already made an agreement with Thor before."
Meng Ran told Nick Fury about the possibilities he could think of.
Nick Fury was also a little puzzled when he heard Meng Ran's words, "Why did you think of Loki? According to what I got from Thor, hasn't Loki already been killed by the Dark Elves?"
Hearing Nick Fury's question, Meng Ran suddenly realized the loophole in his words just now.
He had been doing experiments until his mind was a little numb. He had only been thinking about the scepter just now, completely forgetting that Nick Fury and the others didn't know Loki had faked his death.
"Oh, sorry, forgive me. I've been doing an experiment these days, and I've been doing it without rest until just now, so my mind might not be very clear."
Meng Ran knew he'd misspoke, but he remained calm and gave himself a suitable explanation.
Nick Fury didn't seem to doubt Meng Ran's explanation. He knew the Evil Ghost had been focusing on finding ways to deal with monsters.
He also figured the Evil Ghost's harvest this time had been quite rich, and he'd been busy dealing with the monster situation, so his memory was indeed a bit muddled.
"So, what's the situation now? What's the bad news you mentioned?" Meng Ran changed the subject appropriately and started asking about the main reason Nick Fury was here.
Hearing Meng Ran's question, Nick Fury frowned and said in a low voice, "Yesterday, during the interrogation of a Hydra agent, we accidentally learned something."
"It turns out that right after the Battle of New York, Hydra had already swapped Loki's Scepter with a replica."
"So, what Thor took away in the end wasn't the real Loki's Scepter, but just a replica that didn't have much use."
Meng Ran was stunned when he heard this news from Nick Fury.
He never expected that the scepter Thor had taken away after the Battle of New York was fake.
At the time, he had said he would have Thor take Loki's Scepter back to Asgard for safekeeping, just in case.
He originally thought that this would prevent the events in Sokovia, but he didn't expect that even this wouldn't change the fact that Hydra had used the scepter.
"Hoo~"
Meng Ran took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then asked Nick Fury, "Do you know how they did it?"
After hearing his question, Nick Fury also organized his thoughts and then voiced his guess.
"Regarding the production of the scepter, I estimate they started planning when Loki first appeared, so they could swap in a replica as soon as the battle ended."
"But I still haven't figured out how they replicated the gem on the scepter."
Meng Ran fell into thought after hearing Nick Fury's guess.
Indeed, as he said, it wasn't difficult to replicate the scepter; it just took some time. The real challenge lay in replicating the gem on it.
Nick Fury and the others might not know, but Meng Ran knew clearly that the gem on the scepter was actually the Mind Stone.
The reason it didn't emit a yellow glow was because the Mind Stone was encased in a shell made of the Space Stone.
Space Stone.
Meng Ran pondered to himself, rapidly searching his memories.
