Chapter 798: A Long Letter Is Hard to Buy and Get Drunk
Looking at the time shown on the data, several people believed Susan's guess. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info This is definitely not a coincidence, because it is almost impossible in the world to have coincidences that are accurate to the millisecond. If this is the case, then there must be a very deep relationship between them.
But what kind of connection will there be? And why is there such a connection? It was difficult for them to get an answer for a while. The complex situation makes it difficult for them to start even if they want to explore. And it is difficult for Zhou Yi to provide them with any limited help.
So, they can only put the core of the problem in that shadow. At the same time, they began to find ways to find the answers they wanted from those who had been exposed to the shadows. This link is not easy, especially since they have to take into account Zhou Yi's current physical state. But, in any case, they have already begun to investigate, in all aspects.
And just as they began to secretly investigate these things, the Avengers, who had temporarily settled in Steel City, suddenly discovered something that was very bad for them. That's the Winter Soldier, this guy is gone.
This discovery surprised them at first. Because they thought it was Tony who had done the trick and quietly kidnapped the Winter Soldier. But soon, the captain found out that this was an impossible thing. Not to mention how many outsiders in this city where mutants make up the majority have the ability to infiltrate, it is impossible for the Winter Soldier to be taken away so quietly with the skills of the Winter Soldier.
So it must be something else! But what could it be? But it was difficult for him to judge for a while. And just when he began to think about it, and worried about the safety of his friend. A mutant child ran up to him and handed him a letter.
For modern people, who are already accustomed to e-mail, writing letters is already a distant thing. But for captains born in the last century, writing letters is the most normal thing. It was also very popular to pass on letters to children on the street at that time. So in an instant, he understood who had sent the letter, and what the owner of the letter had in mind.
However, with the thought of chance, he opened the letter. As soon as he opened the letter, he immediately saw the flowery handwriting that his old friend had cultivated in his youth, and which he was familiar with.
"Steve, when you read this letter. I believe I've left the mutant shelter and made my way to a city under Stark's control. I knew you were going to stop me, so I didn't say hello to you. I'm sorry, but it's something I have to do. β
"Ever since I found myself again, I've been tormented inside. Steve, you won't understand how many horrible things I've done and how many innocent lives I've killed over the years. I know that you will comfort me and tell me that it is all Hydra's fault, that they brainwashed me into committing these crimes. But even you can't deny that I'm the executioner. Mine is indeed full of blood on my hands. β
"I don't dream. But when I found myself, I started dreaming about the people I had killed every night. I don't know them, but they come to haunt my soul and want to drag me into the abyss and hell. And this terrible feeling makes me can't help but wake up almost every night. β
"But I'm still holding on because you're by my side. You won't understand what you mean to me, my friend. At such times, only you can give me confidence and last courage. I thought we could continue to fight side by side like this, knowing that I had washed the blood from my hands with all my efforts and paid for all my sins. But it turned out that all this was nothing more than my naΓ―ve delusion. β
"The Stark thing is just a trigger, not the most important factor. I do regret that I killed the Howards, but I don't really remember much about what happened at that time, so I have a limit to how guilty they are. What really makes me feel guilty is the ordinary people at Los Angeles TV. At that time, I had actually begun to gradually become self-conscious, but I still habitually accepted the orders from Hydra. It was I who shot it, I killed the innocent men, women and children. That kind of sin is unforgivable, and even if we weave up a good excuse for ourselves, no matter how good the reason, it is completely unforgivable. β
"Forgive me, my friend. I really don't want to drag you down any longer. I'm really tired too. The painful torment had driven me to the brink of collapse, and I really shouldn't have dragged my best friend into the abyss anymore. So forgive me, I made the choice I should have made the most. β
"If you receive this letter, then please promise me, Steve. Don't come to me, and don't try to save me. Let me be judged, and watch quietly as I pay for the sins of my body. You are the hero of this world, and I believe you can bring peace to a world that has begun to become chaotic. It's like you did more than seventy years ago. You belong to this world, not to me alone. So, promise me, Steve. Don't do anything! Promise me, Steve, to do what you should do best. I regret that I will not be able to be by your side for the rest of the day, and I will continue to fight with you. But believe me, even in the darkest corners of hell, I will look at you with my eyes and watch you become the brightest star in human history, your most loyal friend, James Buchanan, Bucky Barnes. β
A long letter, but it made the captain almost lose the strength to stand. He covered his mouth with his hand with difficulty, and finally did not make any other sound from nowhere. And looking at his performance, the rest of the Avengers immediately became worried.
"Captain, are you all right?"
"Sorry, guys." Barely suppressing the violent fluctuations in his heart, the captain showed a calm look. "No need to go to Bucky, he went where he wanted to go. I think we should respect his decision. β
Few of the people present were stupid, so soon, everyone understood what he meant. This immediately made them feel uneasy. At the same time, they began to worry about the captain.
"Captain, don't be too upset. Since this is what Barnes himself meant, then we need to respect him. If you want to open a little, everything will be fine. β
He patted the captain on the shoulder, and someone comforted him like this. And in this regard, the captain only showed a reluctant smile.
"Thank you, guys, for your support during this time. But I think I need to be alone right now. So please, give me a little space, okay? β
When he said this, the Avengers, who respected him very much, naturally had no other objections. So soon, they quietly walked away, leaving a separate space for the captain. And after thinking alone for a long time, the captain finally let out a long sigh with deep melancholy.
He chose to follow what Bucky said in his heart and watched him go to the end of his life. But despite his decision, his heart could not be cleared.
This is the second person who left him, the most important person. And it could also be the last. This is a very strange time for him, and Bucky and Peggy are the only beings in this era who can make him feel at peace. But now, after Peggy had already left one step earlier, even Bucky was leaving him. This filled his heart with pain and despair, sadness and confusion.
This is the agony of a lost man in a wrong time. The pain made him want to drink so much that he would be numb to it and forget about it. However, after drinking all the wine in the room, he could not feel drunk at all.
He was sober, sober in pain. And this pain made him continue to pursue the indulgence and numbness of the moment, the moment of liberation that forgot all his troubles and sorrows. So he went to the city's bar alone, swallowing the liquor glass after glass, as if it were water.
This way of drinking frightened many people, and it also gave him a rare purity. Soon, though, the captain realized that he was a guy who wasn't drunk. The Super Soldier Serum changed his life and gave him the ability to immulate alcohol just by looking at the blood circulation. He was never drunk, he was always able to stay awake. And it made him feel pain.
After the bartender at the bar refused to refill his drink, he shook off his drunken clothes, intending to leave the place with this pain and continue his mission in his original form. And at this moment, a man walked up to him.
This is a gentleman who is well-mannered and carries a staff of civilization. He sat down directly next to the captain, and then said to the captain with a meaningful smile.
"Young man, would you like to sit down and talk to me?"
"I'm sorry, sir. I don't know you, and I have no intention of talking to you. β
For this kind of strange behavior, the captain subconsciously became wary and bluntly refused.
But the gentleman, as if he had not heard the captain's refusal, continued to speak to him with a smile.
"I can feel your confusion, young man. I can feel the pain in your heart. I can see from your eyes that you are a person with a very strong will and faith, and such a person will have this kind of mood, then what happened to you must be very sad, am I right? β
"It's none of your business, sir!"
"Well, it's me who has a lot of trouble. However, since you're here, you're definitely looking to get drunk. Ordinary wine can't shake the will of someone like you. What you need is that kind of good wine, that kind of wine that can make people forget their sorrows when you actually drink it. And I happened to have a special bottle of good wine here. Interested in having a drink? Youngster. β
A kind smile appeared on the gentleman's face. But in the captain's eyes, the smile was unusually gloomy, as if he had seen a devil tempting him. But soon, he dispelled that idea and brought himself back to reality. Then, at once, he asked the gentleman.
"Who the hell are you, and what is your purpose in approaching me?" To be continued.
