Chapter 9 Happy Halloween Wishes to All
On the eve of Halloween, the streets of the country are filled with live performances, hallucinatory magic tricks on stage, realistic wandering corpses and ghosts, and various horror movie screenings.
Women are picking out Halloween props, and in order to celebrate Halloween, people wear masks, wear strange clothes, and dress up as all kinds of funny and exaggerated ghosts.
Ghost-faced jack-o-lanterns, white-webed black spiders, white-clothed ghosts, etc., some girls will also buy a pair of pumpkin or ghost skull earrings to wear.
Adults dress up children as little angels, little devils, and have them carry jack-o'-lanterns, wear strange costumes, go from house to house to ask for candy, and keep saying "trick- or -treat".
This night is the most "haunted" time of the year, and New York City holds a special parade for a group of "vampires, zombies, witches, Frankenstein" and others to show up for a lively carnival of people and ghosts.
Halloween ghost decorations are hung everywhere on busy streets, and many shops are busy stacking holiday gifts and clothes in their windows, attracting many passers-by to stop and watch.
On this day, the products of Mo Ming's Tomorrow Group were also sold out in various places.
At this time, in the country castle of Momin, Professor Phineas T. Houghton was preparing dinner.
That's right, Professor Houghton has officially joined Momin's team of experts and become a member of it.
A month earlier, his flame android had malfunctioned at another exhibition, and a thunderbolt had gone viral in the streets, nearly killing him, but it was Mo Ming who showed up and saved him.
With Mo Ming's help, Thomas treated him, and he didn't lose his head on his shoulder.
Unlike Thomas, who is more adept at drug modification of genes, Horton likes to use technology and external forces to influence genes and produce chemical changes.
The two of them sometimes fight over whose technology has greater and stronger prospects.
"Your genetic potion changes are weak, uncontrollable, and low in power."
"Your transformation is against human ethics and morality, even if you are powerful, you will only go to the road of crime!"
"That's better than yours, soldier!"
"My serum is much more useful than your inhumane experiments, useful to the world!"
The two of them often quarrel in the underground laboratory, and sometimes Mo Ming's ears are about to be deaf, and his head is big for a while.
After the frost fell, Colonel Phillips led his army to the Italian front, where the main force against the Nazis was very tense, and their Halloween was spent in the bleak night.
Although the soldiers are not allowed to participate, they will also temporarily break away from the tense atmosphere of the war and enjoy a moment of peace and pleasure.
On the night of Halloween, it is not only children who want to become demons, Joanna asked Mo Ming to accompany her to the masquerade ball, and he finally agreed.
These days, the two of them get along very sweetly, and they have officially started dating, and only the last layer of window paper remains.
"Hani, I still have something to do, why don't you follow first, okay! with you. ”
Seeing Joanna pouting, Mo Ming hurriedly changed her words.
After dinner, Horton drove Mo Ming and Joanna to the largest theater in New York, the liveliest place in the city.
There was also a pumpkin head hanging in front of the door, and a smiling poster of "Captain America" was pasted on it, and it was a coincidence that Rogers was there tonight to perform to raise funds.
Due to Halloween, when the two entered the lobby, the hall was full of guests, most of them adults and children, and the front row was sitting some political capitalists, noblewomen and rich people.
The two sat down to watch, and Rogers was performing stage.
Dressed in a blue-and-red angel suit, he knocked the devil-outfit "Hitler" to the ground with one punch, and jumped up and down to stop the conspiracy of the Nazis in the ghostly costume, and finally danced to his heart's content against the backdrop of the laughter of a group of "flower fairy" girls.
There were people in the crowd who kept applauding, but if you could tell by the voices, most of them were children and women, but the men had mocking and disdainful expressions on their faces.
Mo Ming looked at Rogers in the crowd, and despite the smile on his face, he could clearly feel the loneliness and discomfort in his heart, and as the stage lights dimmed, the show came to an end.
When the two of them came to the background, Rogers was using his pamphlet to draw a circus monkey trick, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for him, and spoke.
"Oh, Rogers, you shouldn't waste your power here, the Doctor's hard work shouldn't be spent on this."
Rogers looked up and looked at the seeker, who, despite not getting along with him, recognized the genius boy who came and went in the Phillips camp at will, had a good relationship with Howard, and even sometimes teased Carter.
He hated Mo Ming a little, because his situation was diametrically opposed to his, and more importantly, Carter, whom he loved in his heart, actually talked and laughed with him.
"What's the matter, Mr. Smith, and how did you get to the backstage, and what do the security guards do?"
Mo Ming doesn't know where he offended Rogers, but he needs Rogers to push the plot so that he can follow behind and fish in troubled waters.
"Rogers, do you know the circumstances of the latest war, the Battle of Bolzano?"
Rogers put down his pen and looked gloomy, "It's none of my business, my job now is to go to every state to sell the national debt." ”
"No, there's more you can do, you're the only serum."
"What can I do! A guinea pig in the lab? Or the circus monkeys, did you come to laugh at me on purpose? ”
Rogers shredded the sketchbook in his hand, and with angry flames in his eyes, he slowly walked towards Mo Ming.
"No, wait, Rogers, the One Hundred and Seven Infantry Regiment is fighting against Schmidt's troops in the city of Bolzano, you know what kind of people Schmidt is, they simply can't fight against it."
Hearing that something had happened to Bucky's troops, Rogers was stunned before hurrying over, "What? They met Schmidt! No, I'm going to save him. ”
Immediately, he searched around, took the helmet, shield and luggage for the performance, and planned to go immediately, but was stopped by Mo Ming.
"I have to go, why do you want to stop me?" Rogers glared.
"Rogers, let me help you, let's fight together."
He looked at Rogers, and the two stared at each other for more than a minute before Rogers handed the bag to Holden and turned to get into their car.
Mo Ming smiled, and in the car, Rogers looked out the window with a sideways face, ignoring no one.
After a night's rest at home, Momin and Rogers set out on their way to the front.
