Chapter 54: A Hero's Tribute

How famous is Captain America in this country?

As it turns out, as the number one war hero who is heavily promoted by the government, no one can predict how much prestige Captain America will have.

From the study of history in textbooks, to the propaganda of memorials in various places, coupled with the transformation from weak to strong, and then to heroic sacrifice, it can be called a standard heroic legend.

These seventy years of peace have allowed Captain America's prestige to truly reach its peak.

Thus, a huge wave that spread across the country began.

First, many veterans who were still alive came forward, put in wheelchairs or even lying on hospital beds and were carried to the streets.

And then more ex-servicemen were inspired by them.

Then there are the teachers, the students......

More and more people poured into the streets, waving signs and standing in front of the government, shouting loudly, sitting silently, and even singing the national anthem.

A website called "Give Us Back the Heroes" was set up and spread to the world in a short period of time, with countless people finding all kinds of historical pictures, photo albums, materials, and spontaneously promoting the hero's deeds, and more and more people participated, even not limited to those who had learned about Captain America.

The reason is simple, heroes are such a desirable existence.

Is Tony Stark a hero?

In the eyes of many people, he is now just a billionaire looking for fun.

And in those bloody histories, like the light of hope, Captain America, who ignited the hope in the hearts of countless people in despair with courage, strength, and sacrifice, is the representative of heroes.

He died for us once, and now it's our turn to do something for him. 】

This sentence was placed in the most prominent position on the website and pushed more and more people to stand up.

"I wish the captain could see that."

Coulson stared at the light screen, his eyes flashing with unspeakable emotion.

"The ...... he'll see"

Shen He rubbed his eyes a little sleepily.

Now that the sky has darkened, he has been dealing with things on the Internet for almost the whole day, because Jarvis is not invincible, so more often he can only push in the dark without leaving a trace.

"Mr. Shen." Coulson shouted, but suddenly paused, as if hesitating to say something.

"Just say whatever you want."

"That's it......" Coulson took a deep breath, "I don't know what Hydra has been lurking in us for so long, and what it has done with the help of our hands, perhaps, S.H.I.E.L.D. is really a villain organization, but many colleagues around me, many people, firmly believe that we are protecting people and protecting the world, and many people have sacrificed for it, so ......"

"So, their efforts shouldn't be erased, right?" Shen He took Coulson's words, sighed, and did not continue.

This is actually a proposition that is not difficult to answer.

Someone who wants to help others does something that hurts them.

Thinking from the perspective of materialist philosophy, the nature of the bad things that are done does not change because of the difference in the mind.

"I'm sorry, Coulson." Shen He finally shook his head slightly, "I have learned about some of the things you have done, not to mention anything else, the CH315 drug that was used on your dead agents, do you think that is the right thing to do?" With the good desire to save people, they were pulled back from the abyss of death, but they were subjected to unbearable pain. ”

“...... This should be classified at the highest level......" Coulson had a cold sweat on his forehead.

He had been involved in the experiment, where six dead agents were selected as experimenters, and they were rescued, only to have to endure unbearable torture and finally have their memories altered.

He always thought that he was doing the right thing, because those who should have died could live a happy life as ordinary people, although they have forgotten all the truths of the past.

"I don't agree with that." Shen He stared at Coulson's eyes, "You also know very well that their own will would rather die, how would you feel if someone inflicted such 'kindness' on you one day?" In my opinion, if a bad thing is done, it is done, because it is good to be forgiven, and that is what God does. ”

"Shen He!" The two ceremonies on the side suddenly shouted at him lightly.

"Huh?"

Shen He turned his head and looked at the two ceremonies in puzzlement.

Then he found Joan of Arc sitting next to him, and he didn't know when he began to lower his head and put his hands clasped on his legs.

Oops...... Completely forgot about the Lady Saint, whose hands were covered in blood.

"Joan of Arc, that ......" Shen He leaned in front of Joan of Arc with some sneering, "Joan of Arc is completely different, you see, you are a saint who has achieved great feats, even Steve can't compare with you, besides, can the blood on the battlefield be called evil?" That's an honor wow. ”

"Master."

Joan of Arc suddenly held Shen He's hand lightly, as if there was a hint of helplessness.

"I'm not a saint, and the lord is right, whether it's with good intentions or not, bad things are done, even if I was burned at the stake in the end, I didn't regret those things."

She didn't think of herself just now, but only of Gilles, who was so mad that she killed more than 300 children because of her own death, and that sin, like herself, could not be forgiven in any way.

"But Joan of Arc...... How can I say it......" When Shen He suddenly found that he was also short of words, he could only look at Joan of Arc's beautiful eyes in the end, "In my heart, you are undoubtedly my holy daughter, I am not referring to the Joan of Arc in history, but the Joan of Arc who appeared in front of me." ”

"This ...... This one....... Thank you, Master. ”

Joan of Arc's face turned red, and she saw something in Shen He's eyes that she couldn't understand.

"There's nothing to thank you for." Shen He breathed a sigh of relief, "Not to mention my ......"

Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped, because he didn't know how to explain it, and he couldn't say that when you were still a paper man, I liked the plot character that was created.

And what kind of emotion can the love for the characters in the plot be, Shen He himself doesn't quite understand.

But Joan of Arc clearly misunderstood something, her face was flushed, her palms were clutching the corners of her clothes, and she was very nervous.

"Alright, Coulson, we're going to start the next step." Shen He couldn't think of how to explain, so he simply sat back in his place, "The hero and the audience have already entered, and our villain has to come out quickly, I want you to invite a few of your colleagues, and then take Lelouch to meet them." ”
