Merlin was a wizard who had dabbled in a lot of magical knowledge, and he knew that in some ancient magical traditions, there were mysterious theories that dreams were also worlds.

Like some of the theories of occult magic that Miss Zatanna had studied.

They believe that dreams are a buffer between the present world and the mystical world, supported by every consciousness that exists in the present world, like an unobservable, bizarre, but real world held up by countless pillars.

Dreams are the place where the spirit and life meet, it has its own laws like the present world, and although it is difficult to understand, dreams are like living creatures, tumbling and growing in unimaginable and indescribable environments.

It is an illusion placed on the present world, a realm that every living being can explore freely.

Of course, Merlin is a practical wizard, and he doesn't believe in such unfounded claims, but he also admits that dreams are not as simple as the average person knows.

It is very difficult for a soul that is deeply immersed in a dream to be awakened, such as the soul in front of him.

Steve. Rogers, a hero of the last era, a symbol of hope and courage in the hearts of the people, a soul wandering in the phantoms of the past, a soul unwilling to wake up.

"I remember that I had entered his spiritual world more than a year ago."

Merlin stood in the monitoring room, looking at the scene in front of him, and said:

"According to your thoughts, I tried to wake him up, but the dream world is different from the real world, and I thought he would wake up a little earlier."

"Actually, it's not too late."

Fury put his hands behind his back and said to Merlin:

"When he wakes up, he has plenty of time to familiarize himself with the world that has become alien to him, and if the captain is still willing to fight, and is willing to be an enemy of Hydra, then maybe he will be able to catch up with the next battle."

"Oh?"

Merlin savored the meaning of Fury's words, and he said to the director of the boiled egg:

"You're saying you've got an eyebrow about the traditionalist hydra?"

"Hmm."

Fury nodded, and as if he didn't want to say much about this place, he said briefly to Merlin:

"I've found some clues."

"That's great."

Merlin moved his fingers, and he whispered:

"It's been a long time since we've 'talked' with those old friends, and I'm really looking forward to it."

"They're not the most important."

Fury Says:

"They're just a transition, maybe we can find some information from them about our real 'opponents', the vipers hiding under the deep waters, they are the most important."

"yes."

Merlin nodded:

"It's really hard to be reassuring not to cut off the last head of these snakes. The thought of other things mixed in our shadows, the thought of those eyes watching our every move in the dark, tsk... It really makes people feel uncomfortable all over the body. ”

"We'll find them."

Fury narrowed his eyes, he said in a firm tone, Merlin also nodded cooperatively, he said:

"Yes, we'll kill them."

These two guys are like playing double reeds, you and I say one sentence, and the Hill agent in the control room is a little confused.

Despite years of work. Agent Hill has been identified as a "man of his own" who can be trusted with all that is within S.H.I.E.L.D., and about Hydra, Agent Hill is not too much involved.

She's just an ordinary person after all, and knowing too much isn't a good thing for her.

It's not a deliberate cover-up, it's just a cautious care and protection of Hill by Fury and Merlin.

"He's awake!"

After a few moments, Agent Hill pointed to the monitor and said to Fury and Merlin:

"Look, he's got his eyes open."

"Oh, that's good."

Fury said in a playful tone:

"Then comes the second phase... Next, let's take a look at my Steve, how long it will take to get out of the 'maze' we set for him. ”

"Your maze sucks."

Merlin snorted disdainfully, took a piece of money from his pocket, put it on the table, and said to Fury:

"I guess our Captain America will find the breaking point in 10 minutes."

"Hehe, underestimate me, Merlin."

Fury also took out a note from his pocket, pressed it against Merlin's note, and said confidently:

"Everything in that house was made to 1944 specifications, all laid out by Agent Dugan himself, and with the memory gap that Steve had just woken up, I bet it would take him at least 30 minutes to realize that something was wrong, if not an hour!"

"Then I'll do it too."

Agent Hill leaned back in her chair, seeing the two chiefs having such a good time, she also took out a note from her purse and put it on the table, she looked at the monitor, and she said:

"I think it only takes five minutes for the captain to see through the puzzle."

Agent Hill said:

"I grew up watching comics about Captain Hero's stories, and I want to believe in the superheroes I had as a child..."

"Okay."

Merlin took out the golden pocket watch and put it in his hand, he glanced at Fury and Ciel, and then at Steve, who sat up from the bed with a blank look on the monitor in front of him. Rogers, he said:

"Then, let's start the timer."

————————————

In the lower ward of the base of Pagasos, Steve. Rogers slowly opened his eyes after a long breath.

He saw the white, simple ceiling, and the army green electric fan that was slowly spinning on the ceiling, and on the window above his head, the white curtain was constantly shaking by the wind outside the window, and the sound of cars could be heard outside the window.

Steve sat up from the bed, he moved his shoulders, the familiar power moving in his body, it was the power of the super soldier serum, after being injected with the serum made by Dr. Erskine a few years ago, he had gone from being a skinny boy from Brooklyn to a real devil muscleman, a best soldier, a real hero.

He turned his head to look at the calendar on the side of the table, well, it was the style he remembered, and on the hanging picture of the calendar, there was also a poster of the day of victory in the war.

Today... It was June 17, 1945.

Nacui surrendered, Hitler died, the war was over, they won.

A smile appeared on Steve's face, and he looked around at his house in Brooklyn, with the familiar cabinets, the familiar desk, and the model airplane he had assembled.

The books I like to read are still on the shelves as I remember.

There is nothing precious in this house, but the sight of these familiar objects after a long coma always relaxes the spirit.

His memories are still stuck in the moment when he drove a runaway spaceship into a snow-white Arctic glacier, and now it seems that they have found themselves and brought themselves back home.

And at this moment, an irrepressible impulse burst out of Steve's heart.

Bird Club, Saturday night at 8 p.m., see you there...

Oh, yes.

He, he still owes Peggy a dance.

Peggy was still waiting for him.

Thinking of this, Steve stood up abruptly and was about to walk out of the room.

But the next moment, his eyes fell on the noisy radio at hand, which seemed to be a live broadcast of a baseball game, what seemed to be a Dodgers game, and the game seemed to be anxious.

Steve listened for a few seconds, his expression changed, and there was a hint of gloom and anger in his eyes.

"Bang"

The ward door was pushed open, and a young nurse in a white dress and a nurse's hat walked into the ward with a tray and some medicines, and when she saw Steve, she was surprised, she said:

"Ah, Captain, are you awake?"

"Well, I'm awake."

Steve looked away from the radio, and he looked back at the open window, where he remembered the view of New York, which was so vivid that it was exactly the same as the scenery he remembered.

"Sit down, Captain, and I'm going to inform Ms. Peggy and Mr. Howard that they will be very pleased."

The little nurse seemed to be one of Captain America's biggest fans in her home country, and she was so excited that she turned around and was about to leave. But he was stopped by Steve.

"Hey, little girl."

Steve Says:

"What time is it?"

"Now?"

The little nurse glanced at the clock hanging on the wall with some blankness, and said:

"It's 3:17 p.m., Mr. Steve."

"No, no, no."

Steve reached out and rubbed his forehead, and he said:

"I mean, how many years now?"

"In 1945."

Little Nurse rightfully to Steve. Rogers Says:

"Last month, we won the war, and everyone said it was because of your noble risk, that you destroyed Nacui's last counterattack, and that it was you..."

"No, it's not me."

Steve interrupted the little nurse by pointing to the TV in front of him, and said:

"The Dodgers' game... It's a shame that this game... I was there at the time, watching it with Bucky. If I'm not mistaken, it should have been May 1941. ”

The little nurse's expression changed for a moment, and she took a few steps back, as if intending to call someone. But the next moment, Steve got up quickly, dragged the little nurse behind him, and then turned and closed the door.

"Bang"

The door closed behind him, and in front of him was a metal passage leading to the front, the silver-gray metal looked full of technology, and in the long tunnel in front of him, there was no one.

"Smack"

The captain knew he had been fooled.

It sent a hint of anger to him, and he clenched his fists, and at the sound of bones clashing, he kept his face calm and strode forward, just as he had on the battlefield.

He didn't know who directed it all, but he vowed to punch the bastard twice in the face.

———————————————

"Tsk, 3 minutes and 27 seconds."

Merlin looked at the pocket watch in his hand, he looked at Fury with a gloomy face next to him with a mocking face, he reached out and picked up the three bills, put them in Hill's hand, and then said to Fury:

"It's a failure, Fury, it seems that you are really old, I don't think you would have made such a mistake in detail when you were young."

"Shut up."

Fury was in a bad mood as he looked at the surveillance in front of him, Steve. Rogers rushed out of the room, slamming the agents in the hallway trying to pacify him.

Steve is the first super soldier in history, and the most elite guards at Pagassos Base are vulnerable to his fists.

"Go stop him and let him go and let those innocent agents go."

Fury said to Merlin:

"Calm him down, and then we'll have a good talk."

"I'll explain first."

Merlin walked outside the monitoring room and said to Fury:

"I'm only responsible for stopping Steve, and if he has to beat you up, then I don't care."

Fury grimaced and did not speak, and as Merlin walked out of the room, Fury said:

"Tap!"

Merlin shook his head, he just smiled and didn't speak.

To be honest, it's really not much to see Fury mess up a thing, which is actually quite interesting.

However, this scene is not Fury's bad taste, and the reason why he made such an arrangement was entirely because of the advice of the psychologists of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Merlin had previously told Fury that Steve's spirit was already weak after decades of perseverance, so Fury had deliberately arranged an environment where Steve would feel comfortable in order to avoid the mental stimulation of reality.

Not everyone knows that they have slept for decades, and all their friends and relatives have grown old in time, and they can behave peacefully.

Facing a veteran who has been sealed in time, let him understand the current world step by step, which can avoid Steve's possible mental breakdown to the greatest extent.

But... How to say it.

Fury's arrangement was really perfect, he used holographic projections to simulate New York in 1945, and even went to great lengths to find a lot of furniture that Steve used back then, but as Merlin said, a small mistake completely buried it all.

"Get out of here!"

Enraged, Steve punched the black-clad agent in the chest who was trying to stop him in front of him, and didn't use all his strength, but the super strength of the super soldier still knocked the well-trained agent to the ground.

Steve still had his senses, and instead of ending the agent's life, he broke free from their restraints and obstacles, and rushed all the way to the deepest part of the steel base.

The moment he climbed over a fence and jumped onto a certain platform, Steve stopped, and in front of him, in front of the platform's passage to the depths of the base, a man in a black trench coat, with broken hair, black gloves, and a blood-red cane, was standing in front of him.

"Hi Steve, I'm your wake-upper..."

Merlin looked up and greeted the still dazed super soldier in front of him, and with a wave of his hand, the agents chasing Steve quickly retreated and disappeared into the passage.

He pushed his glasses, and in the square, where there were only two people, he whispered:

"Remember me?"
