Originally, I thought that Bucky would not see anyone alive or dead, but I didn't expect that Bucky in the photo had a broken hand, but half of his face was covered by an oxygen mask.

Dead people don't need oxygen, that's ......

"Your good friend James Barnes is still alive. A cold female voice came, her voice so ethereal and mysterious, as if it came from the misty Bering Strait on the far other side of the whistle.

"What!?" Steve snapped to his feet, and Peggy, who was beside him, was shocked.

"Friend, who are you? How do you know about James?" Peggy's eyes shot in all directions, only to find that she couldn't find the other person's location.

"Bucky, Bucky, he's really not dead?" Steve clenched his fists.

A bright light suddenly lit up in the ruins, a black and white projector that had been set up in advance. The picture projected onto the wall was not clear, and it was incomplete because the wall had been mutilated by the bombing.

This does not prevent the two members of the American team from judging the authenticity of this silent video.

It was a snow-capped mountain near Bucky's cliff. Steve will always recognize the terrain there.

In the picture, Bucky is fished out of the water by something like a trawl. One of his arms was limp and unusually bent in several places, probably useless.

Rescued by a group of people wearing white cotton jackets with their faces covered, it can be clearly seen that Bucky coughed a few times and spit out a large mouthful of turbid water, but he still fell into a coma.

Steve's face was full of surprise.

Peggy didn't let her guard down: "That time in Italy, it's you, too." Thank you for your cooperation, please...... We're allies, aren't we? Are you from MI6? or are you ......."

"Friend, let's just sort it out!" replied the ethereal female voice, but there was a kind of impersonal indifference. This makes Peggy feel bad.

"Soviets?" Peggy said tentatively.

"My official identity is top secret. ”

No denial, no affirmation, Peggy had a gut instinct - she guessed right.

"Anyway, thank you for saving my brother. Steve stepped forward, "Since we're allies, when can we get Bucky back?" ”

Peggy hurriedly said, "If it's medical bills or whatever, the federal government will be happy to pay for it." ”

At this point in time, except for Lao Mei, the big dog, several other allies are poor.

Britain was able to pay directly with gold or something in the early stage of World War II, but later it could only be used by various sellers. Charles de Gaulle in France was almost a single commander, except for those divisions, there was simply no one without money. The Soviet Union was not much better, if it were not for the support of American aircraft and artillery, relying on Maozi's weak chicken production capacity, it would almost not be able to drive tanks without a counteroffensive.

The mysterious woman didn't answer directly: "I'm sorry, Bucky's business is no longer up to me." Even informing Bucky of his life and death, I was already officially in serious violation. ”

Peggy sensitively grasps the loopholes in her words, or the gaps that the other party deliberately shows.

Official?

That mysterious man doesn't seem to have a good impression of the Soviet government!

Peggy hurriedly said, "Thank you for informing us in your private capacity. ”

"Don't be grateful. There's only so much I can do. ”

"Wait!" Steve froze, "What the hell is wrong with Bucky? Who the hell are you? Are you helping me?"

Captain America is really not good at chatting with women, and it is easy to kill the words when chatting.

Peggy grabbed Steve and gave him a hard look, indicating that she should speak. Steve was silent.

"Miss Mystery, we still thank you for informing us. If so, can you reveal more information so that we can rest assured. ”

"Yes. The other party was unexpectedly crisp: "We are from [Ravenhold Manor] and are the partners of the Silver Hand. ”

Steve's eyes widened.

All the things of the past immediately came to his mind. When he was the most discouraged and unwilling, and he couldn't even go to the front line as cannon fodder as a soldier, it was Mr. Mei who gave him new hope outside the recruiting office.

That's the Paladin's legacy!

Becoming a super soldier doesn't mean he's invincible.

Damn it or will die.

In the successive battles against the Hydra factory, he faced a hail of bullets many times. A vibranium shield with a diameter of 61 centimeters could not give him the most perfect protection. In the face of flying rubble and all kinds of violent explosions, Howard's protective suit for him was not enough. At best, that thing can only protect against daggers.

What really left him unscathed, in addition to his own agility, was the Holy Light.

In the face of the explosion, he directly opened the [Holy Shield Technique].

That's right, it's commonly known as 'invincible'!

His will was transformed into divine energy, forming a protective shield that enveloped his entire body. Theoretically, as long as his will wasn't crushed, and his mental energy was strong enough, nothing would hurt him in that short 11-second effective time.

Of course, there is also the premise that those things will not be too much higher than his [Holy Shield Technique].

At this moment, in Steve's heart, the one who can be compared to Mr. Mei and the [Silver Hand] brought by Mr. Mei must be his own people.

Steve gently pressed the back of Peggy's hand, and Peggy instantly understood what he meant.

"Well, lady, I believe you. Then please tell me, Buckyta...... Is it really safe?"

"You'll see each other one day, that's all I can say. The ethereal voice said, "I've been around too long, so be it." ”

With that, the female voice disappeared into thin air. Over there, the projector that was projecting suddenly emitted a puff of black smoke and burst into flames, apparently some kind of self-destructing program.

The other party is gone, and Peggy's curiosity is about to explode. When she returned to a safe place guarded by many soldiers, Peggy immediately found a safe room and 'interrogated' Steve: "Well, this is the first time you've heard of Ravenhold Manor. Can you tell me about the Silver Hand? I've never heard of this organization. ”

"I ...... I can't elaborate on what the Silver Hand is. But I can show you. With that, Steve took out a dagger and slashed it across his arm. On the spot, a three-centimeter-long wound appeared that cut through the skin and reached the muscle layer.

It hurts to see Peggy's heartache.

"Holy Light Technique!" Steve said softly, and then a soft golden glow glowed from his right hand.

When the golden light of its kind came into contact with the wound, Peggy was stunned, and the bloody wound began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just ten seconds, the cut skin was already intact. If it weren't for the bloodstains, Peggy would have thought it was a hallucination.

"This ...... It's ......"

"The power of the Light!"
