Chapter 398: Suddenly Looking Back
The next day, Comrade Pierce, as the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., was buried in a grand manner, and this goods also became another beneficiary of Daisy's reforms, and his body enjoyed the treatment of a lieutenant general, for which the Ministry of Defense sent a deputy minister to preside over the ceremony.
God knows what O'Heiko and the Pentagon thought, vaguely blurred the time of Pierce's death, thinking that this guy was the highest-ranking general who died in the Battle of New York, and they worked hard to plan, and in one day they arranged a ceremony similar to a state funeral.
A farewell ceremony was held at the Houses of Parliament.
The funeral was arranged at the Washington Cathedral, and many high-ranking agents were present, including Coulson, who was busy rebuilding the school every day, and Hawkeye, who was semi-retired, and Black Widow came to the scene to see off the former director.
The pastor recounted Pierce's life in a melodious tone, saying on behalf of God that the goods were doing well in heaven, and then the pastor motioned for someone to come up and say a few words.
The boiled egg shook his head slightly, he was eloquent, but he rarely made long speeches in public, and he basically never participated in the funeral, this time it was a special case. He touched Daisy with his elbow, meaning you go.
Daisy can only walk up to the front desk and complete the ritual.
She looked around the scene first, there were agents, members of Congress, generals from the Department of Defense, and there were a few relatives of Pierce, but they were very weak, and if they hadn't heard that there was a large pension, they might not have been willing to come.
"Alexander. Director Pierce is our elder, a kind elder, a wise guide. ”
"Because of some despicable means, the enemy bewitched his mind, and we have to leave this strict master with a sad heart, this is not the shame of Director Pierce, it is ours! The enemy has trampled on our dignity! Daisy raised her fist to signal that she was angry.
At this time, the voice of the White Queen came from her head: "I'm laughing to death, are you talking about this Pierce, haha......"
As a special advisor to S.H.I.E.L.D., THE White Queen also arrived at the scene today, and wore a rare black dress.
“...... Less nonsense! She scolded the White Queen in her mind, pretending to cough, signaling that she was a little excited, but she was actually reorganizing the language.
"There is always something left behind for us to learn, what did Director Pierce teach us? It is progress, the spirit of moving forward, and learning, and the tenacity of a 60-year-old man who is still teaching himself about computers and studying algorithms. ”
"S.H.I.E.L.D. went through World War II, went through the Cold War and got to where it is today, and Director Pierce has a lot of credit for keeping the world at peace, and now this burden is handed over to us."
Is sending the Winter Soldier to assassinate JFK a maintenance of world peace? Daisy can't say it either......
"I see uncertainty in your eyes, and you don't know if what you're doing now makes sense. When the green-skinned monster outside was beating the enemy like a sandbag, and when the strong man in the red cloak with a silver hammer flew through the skies of New York, I also asked myself, does what S.H.I.E.L.D. is doing now still meaningful? ”
The agents below are all well-trained, they don't applaud desperately when they hear a few words of chicken soup like ordinary citizens, and Daisy's language is not so provocative, but many people still show an interested look, they want to hear Daisy's answer.
"I think it makes sense, people need to see a group, they need to see ordinary people like them fighting on the front lines, seeing people working, trying to make this world a better place, I'm friends with a lot of superheroes, we respect each other, but I still have to say that S.H.I.E.L.D. is indispensable, it's the bond between superheroes and humanity."
"Ordinary people are not a burden, they are the source of our strength to protect the world."
The funeral ended quickly, and Daisy kept an eye on Pierce's coffin until the other party was buried, and the frequency did not change. She quickly leaves the scene, and there is a prisoner and Pierce's aftermath to be dealt with.
"What do you think? Did we really make the right decision? "Hawkeye and Black Widow have now become a different kind of S.H.I.E.L.D., and many agents just nod their heads when they see them now, and Hawkeye wants to ask for the opinion of their companions.
Black Widow didn't respond to him, hurriedly left a word to talk about later, and she rushed into the crowd.
In a split second, in the crowd outside the church, she saw a familiar figure, which was why she left her eagle eye behind.
An acquaintance, a very familiar person, a person who should have been dead for many years reappeared, her vigilance and desire to explore were mobilized, how could she have the idea of being eagle-eyed at this time.
Quickly shuttling through the crowd and the building, Black Widow found that the steps used by this suspicious character, the blocking techniques, and the anti-detection methods were exactly the same as hers, which allowed Black Widow to confirm the identity of the other party.
It was Black Widow's instructor when she was training in the Red House of the Soviet Union, perhaps the only man she ever loved in the world, and they didn't know each other's names, only the numbers of the two when they were in the Red House.
Teacher No. 01 and student No. 1445.
Black Widow did not do well in training, she had no strengths other than beauty, and the illustrious surname of Romanoff caused her to be treated injustices countless times.
Fighting, infiltrating, killing, poisoning, she is not as good as others, she was a kind and caring girl at that time, but unfortunately everything has changed.
Now she is the strongest spy in the world, and no one can escape her tracking, not even her former teacher.
While turning a street corner, an alarm sounded in my mind.
Her face did not change, as if she had expected it, this scene seemed to have been rehearsed countless times, she bowed her head and bent over, drew her gun, and at the same time her body flew sideways forward, several movements in one go.
With a "boom", the silver-white mechanical arm smashed into the corner of the wall where she was about to appear, and seeing that her blow missed, the Winter Soldier no longer hesitated, and rolled to the side, dodging the Black Widow's shot.
The Winter Soldier threw a dagger and knocked Black Widow's pistol flying, before sprinting again.
The familiar figure didn't show any mercy to Black Widow's men, she flew up, used Jiu-Jitsu legs to wrap her arms around the Winter Soldier's neck, and then straddled her waist hard, trying to knock her opponent down.
After exerting two forces in a row, the Winter Soldier's feet seemed to take root on the ground, and he did not fall. She knew that it was bad, and her unfavorable tricks were offset by the Winter Soldier's powerful back strength, and the Black Widow's situation was very dangerous, so she could only clench her fists with both hands and slam the Winter Soldier's head in an attempt to stun the opponent.
Once, twice, and by the third time, the Winter Soldier regained his balance, and he let Black Widow hang on his body like a violent bear crashing into the wall in front of him, and the moment Black Widow breathed, the manipulator grabbed her neck.
"You can at least recognize me, right?" Black Widow didn't wait for the other party to exert force, and hurriedly spoke.
The Winter Soldier looked at the familiar and unfamiliar face of the Black Widow, his mind froze for a moment, and before he knew it, his fingers loosened and he took two steps back.
