Chapter 226

Jasper Sitwell, Director of Intelligence.

In the mirror dimension, Lockhart looked at the bald agent wearing glasses in front of him. To be precise, he focused on the badge hanging on the agent's chest, his eyes full of inquiry.

If he remembered correctly, this guy seemed to be from Hydra, and his status was not low.

The reason why Lockhart was impressed by him was that, like Nick Fury, he had a bald head and wore glasses, making him very recognizable.

Well, the most important thing is that according to the original plot, he surrendered the fastest.

After being caught by Steve, he revealed a lot of information about Hydra with just a simple threat.

After meeting Agent Sitwell, Lockhart basically followed him to identify the target, watching him communicate with some intelligence personnel, talk to each other, and receive some documents.

Soon, Sitwell finished what he was doing, turned around, and returned to his office.

Click!

With the sound of the door closing, Lockhart watched as Sitwell walked to his desk, turned on the computer, and began to organize the information.

Seeing this, Lockhart was not in a hurry. He raised his head and glanced at the information compiled by the other party, his eyes focusing.

"Tracing the origins of nine missiles over New York"

After a quick scan, Lockhart noticed that the military was mentioned throughout the article.

This made Lockhart a little confused. Why were they involved with the military?

Immediately, he stopped thinking about it. The person was right in front of him. If he interrogated him carefully, wouldn't he find out?

At this moment, Sitwell was quickly looking at the document in front of him. It was the missile information that the intelligence agency had just obtained from the military.

He needed to sort it out and hand it over to his boss, Phil Coulson.

Just as he was opening the computer document and preparing to enter relevant information...

Suddenly...

Click! Click! Click!

The sound of a mirror breaking echoed in his ears, and the next moment, it suddenly disappeared.

Sitwell felt that he had been too tired recently and was experiencing hallucinations.

However, when he looked down at the document, he was shocked to find that, for some reason, the text on the document was flipped, as if he were seeing it in a mirror.

Immediately afterward, Sitwell noticed a dark shadow appear in front of him and quickly raised his head to look.

"Wizard Professor!" Sitwell exclaimed, subconsciously reading the other person's code name in S.H.I.E.L.D., and then quickly corrected himself: "Professor Lockhart."

Looking around uneasily, he asked, "Professor Lockhart, do you have any business with S.H.I.E.L.D.? Do you need me to contact Chief Coulson?"

Lockhart looked at the bald agent Sitwell in front of him, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.

The moment he saw him, Lockhart used a simplified version of Legilimency to see the other person's first reaction.

He originally expected fear. After all, the mission target was coming to his door. How could he relax?

But he never expected that the other party's emotion was pure shock, mixed with a hint of uneasiness.

It was nothing like Hydra, which had been targeting him with missiles.

This aroused Lockhart's curiosity. It was true that the other party was Hydra. Could it be that Sitwell didn't know what was happening?

Thoughts flashed through Lockhart's mind as he looked at Sitwell. He didn't want to waste any time.

He stretched out his wand and pointed it at Sitwell.

At this moment, Sitwell saw Professor Lockhart in front of him, feeling confused and uneasy.

Relying on the instincts from his training, he secretly took out the pistol from his waist.

However...

Boom!

Lockhart waved his wand, and in an instant, Sitwell felt a huge force slip through his hand. The pistol flew directly into the distance.

Immediately afterward, he soared into the air, and his limbs seemed to be bound, unable to move at all.

"Professor Lockhart, calm down, please calm down."

"I don't mean any harm. My boss Coulson has a good relationship with you. Remember, I am his subordinate. Coulson and I have always had a good relationship."

After realizing he was being controlled, Sitwell began to panic and spoke quickly, fearing that the wizard professor in front of him would start to torture or even kill him.

Watching Sitwell's performance, Lockhart frowned.

Something was wrong. Was the other party not an agent of Hydra, or had the plot changed?

His thoughts racing, Lockhart controlled Sitwell to float in front of him, watching as he continued to shout, and then slightly turned his wand.

The next moment, Sitwell's mouth was tightly closed, and no sound came out.

However, his eyes still revealed panic and uneasiness.

"Agent Sitwell, you should know that someone is bombarding me with missiles." Lockhart stared closely into Sitwell's eyes and said slowly, guiding his thoughts.

"According to my investigation, the other party is from Hydra."

When Lockhart mentioned Hydra, Sitwell's eyes flashed with confusion, which then turned into shock.

At the same time, Lockhart quickly chanted, "Legilimens!"

In an instant, Lockhart's eyes flickered, and his mental energy followed his gaze into Sitwell's mind.

He began to recall the memory that had just surfaced and followed the clues related to Hydra to dig deeper.

At this moment, Sitwell suddenly felt as if a stick had entered his mind, constantly messing with his brain.

Then a large number of memories emerged. He seemed to see the report with Chief Coulson, the conversations with his colleagues, and memories of traveling to other places.

As time passed, Sitwell felt more and more pain, as if his mind was being hollowed out.

Soon, Sitwell gasped for air as he finally emerged from the extremely uncomfortable, suffocating sensation.

As for Lockhart, looking at Sitwell in front of him, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, Hydra actually had such means.

After exploring the other party's memory, it was as if no information related to Hydra was found, as if the other party was not a Hydra agent at all.

But at the same time, he discovered large gaps in Sitwell's memory.

There was no doubt that this was Hydra's hidden method.

If he guessed correctly, it should be the hypnosis that Hydra was known for using.

In the original plot, Hydra was good at using hypnosis to control a large number of people.

Now, all of Sitwell's memories of Hydra were hidden through hypnosis, making him appear as a pure S.H.I.E.L.D. agent both internally and externally.

It seems that in some aspects, technology is not weaker than magic and even has its own unique features.

With these thoughts in mind, Lockhart recalled the information he had obtained from the agents' minds on the plane, and a sneer appeared on his face.

It seemed that the other party was well-prepared.

They were even prepared to be caught, coming up with a corresponding response plan based on his methods.

If he hadn't known the original plot, he might have been deceived by them.

Looking at it now, the location of the underground base that was previously obtained from the agents' minds on the plane might be a trap.

But...

They can escape for a while, but they can't escape forever.

Looking at Sitwell, who was still panting in front of him, Lockhart raised the corners of his mouth and stretched out his wand.

With a gentle tap between Sitwell's eyebrows, a golden dragon magic mark quietly appeared on his forehead, glowing with golden light.

As time passed, the golden dragon's magic mark began to slowly fade.

And Sitwell's expression began to gradually change, from fear, anxiety, and confusion to expressionless, and then to enthusiasm.

Soon, the golden dragon magic brand disappeared, and Sitwell stood up.

Looking at Lockhart with eyes full of enthusiasm, he said respectfully, "Master, Sitwell is willing to do anything for you."
