Chapter 271. Foundation (Part1)

"Zizi~"

"Mr. Borsalino, you should know that the characteristics of those entity has shown us that they aren't so easy to destroy. Especially the Flying Dutchman, as an anomaly with a well-known reputation."

After a few seconds, a calm voice came from the device.

"Is that so?"

Upon hearing that, Borsalino made a surprised expression, scratching his head and saying, "I think I do have an impression of you mentioning that."

"This is the most basic knowledge regarding the entities and items we contain. As an A-level combat personnel of the Foundation, Mr. Borsalino, how could you forget?" The voice in the device continued relentlessly.

"Sorry." Faced with the questioning from the communication device, Borsalino subconsciously made a worried expression. He glanced at the SHILED agents surrounding him, and his eyes suddenly flashed under the sunglasses. He improvised, "Oh, Bucciarati, there's a sudden attack here. I don't have time to talk. We'll talk after I solve everything here."

'You're lying!'

'We obviously didn't do anything!'

On the other side, Nick Fury watched as Borsalino, who was pretending to be in combat with the communication device in his hand with a cold expression on his face.

"I shouldn't have contacted Bucciarati earlier."

After cutting off the call, Borsalino patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, muttering to himself.

Fury frowned and watched Borsalino, who had been ignoring SHIELD and talking to himself since just now. Rather than being displeased for being ignored, the Director of SHIELD was more concerned about what Borsalino had talked about. From the conversation, it was clear that the other party knew more about the Flying Dutchman than SHIELD did, and moreover, 'What the Foundation?!'

As the leader of SHIELD, Fury was keenly aware of the significance of 'the Foundation' mentioned in the conversation.

On one side, Nick Fury and a group of SHIELD agents surrounded Borsalino and fell into a brief silence.

On the other side, Tony carried Banner, who had turned back into himself, back to the harbor.

.....

"Thank you."

Banner said so, turning around to thank Tony once he had regained his footing.

"Don't mention it, Doc." Controlling the armor's descent at the harbor, Tony opened the mask on his helmet, revealing his trademark mustache face. He couldn't help but joke, "By the way, Doctor, your transformation seems to be quite hard on your clothes."

"I know," Banner could only respond with a bitter smile, "But sometimes the transformation is not up to me."

In fact, Banner was fortunate to even retained his pants after transforming, at least he wasn't completely naked.

Shaking his head, Banner shifted the conversation from the Hulk back to the battle against the [Flying Dutchman], "By the way, how did the battle go? Did we defeat Davy Jones?"

"Defeated, yes, but we weren't the ones to defeat Davy Jones."

An odd smile appeared on Tony's face in the face of Banner's question, looking behind him at Borsalino, surrounded by S.H.I.E.L.D.

"What do you mean?"

Banner didn't have much memory when he was the Hulk. He glanced back at the tall, thin man in the striped suit behind him, with a slightly puzzled expression, "Who's he?"

"The man who defeated Davy Jones."

Returning to the harbor one step behind Tony and the others, Steve looked at the confrontation scene before him and answered in a deep voice.

"Sir."

Gasping for breath, Natasha approached Fury and looked at the burning [Flying Dutchman] on the sea and reported with a frown, "It was a bit of a surprise, but the [Flying Dutchman] problem was resolved without incident."

"That's not necessarily the case, Agent Romanoff."

If he had heard Natasha's report before, Fury might have thought so too. However, after listening to the contents of Borsalino's conversation, a hint of doubt was in Fury's mind.

As soon as Fury's words fell, the flames that were still burning on the [Flying Dutchman] immediately started to diminish, and in a few seconds, the flames that were raging on the ship's hull disappeared. Immediately afterwards, the scorched and blackened hull was instantly restored to its original state.

"Borsalino, Avengers! We will meet again!"

Not only did the damaged [Flying Dutchman] repair itself, but even the previously deceased Davy Jones had resurrected once again.

Davy Jones stood at the bow of the ship, one hand holding onto his pirate hat, his hoarse voice reaching the ears of the people at the harbor, rippling through the sea surface.

In the next second, a thick fog appeared over the sea, instantly concealing the [Flying Dutchman]'s trail.

"Resurrection trait?"

"Another troublesome containment entity."

Looking at the newly restored [Flying Dutchman], Borsalino's face revealed an obviously helpless expression, "If I had known, I wouldn't have taken this mission."

Retracting his gaze from the empty sea surface, Fury looked at the troubled Borsalino and asked in a deep voice, "Now, can you tell us what all of this is about, Mr. Borsalino, from the SCP Foundation? What is this Flying Dutchman that suddenly appeared in Upper New York Bay, and what is this containment entity that you were talking about?"

Just now, Fury learned the identity of the man across from him through Natasha's report. However, this result made Fury even more uneasy.

"Curiosity killed the cat, as they say."

Turning his head to meet Fury's iconic eyepatch, Borsalino lazily responded.

"I'm more interested in the truth behind the containment."

"The truth?" Borsalino sneered and wore a contemptuous expression, "Sometimes, ignorance is bliss. Are you sure you can handle the damage and danger that the truth brings?"

"Perhaps we have long been in danger, and the Battle of New York is the most vivid example."

The impact of the New York battle was far-reaching and indirectly changed the world's perception of superhuman powers.

"..."

Seemingly convinced by Fury's words, Borsalino shrugged his shoulders and turned his head to look at the Avengers again, "Well, since you've already fought aliens, you'll eventually find out about containment in your own way. So, I might as well tell you now."
