Chapter 054: If You Don't Say It, You'll Die

Have you ever seen a dead body — well, be kind — who can still speak with a big grin after being stabbed in the heart and bleeding for at least half an hour?

Also, the corpse's eyes are still closed!

Hearing Rhaegar's voice, Skye reacted and pounced on him as soon as possible. Coulson hurriedly stopped her, and at the same time beckoned Simmons, who was closest to Rhaeggar's 'corpse', to step back. He waited until everyone had retreated to what he thought was a safe distance before he spoke.

"Who are you? What did you do to Rhaeggar's corpse?! ”

No wonder Coulson thinks so, after all, Rhaegar is in a weird state right now.

When he was stabbed through the heart by the death knell before, Rhaegar really thought he was going to die. It was true that he had the ability to leave this body and survive temporarily, but at that time he was not mentally prepared to give up his body, let alone be mentally prepared to be pierced in the heart. Don't forget, when he has full control of that body, he will feel the pain in his body. And most importantly, it was the first time he had faced such a situation, the moment this body died 'again', he felt a sense of emptiness and hunger again, and it was stronger than ever, even stronger than ever!

So, he, in his 'soul' form, fainted.

However, this accident also gave him a chance. Rather than waiting for the future to be unable to cover up and expose new special features again and again and cause distrust among his teammates, it is better to simply disclose what he can do and his ability in front of his teammates.

Not...... Part of the ability.

"Okay, that's a bit unbelievable, but ...... Hey Fitz, do you remember when you got revenge on your carrot after it went to tease tetanus, it peed on your bed? And you told me not to tell anyone about your laundry! Simmons, don't think I don't know you secretly picked up a few hairs of tetanus to do the test! Ward, you haven't been able to find out who put chili water on your razor, and I'm telling you now, it's Coulson's prank! And Skye ......"

At this, Rhaeggar's tone softened, and he said very warmly, "Thank you, Skye, for your voice that woke me up. And your tears, it really breaks my heart......" At this point, his tone changed again, this time in a slightly mischievous and teasing tone: "Well, as you know, my heart is really broken. ”

Leaving aside the joke in the last sentence, and the sensationalism in the penultimate paragraph, or the sensationalism just to foreshadow the joke, in short, Rhaegar did tell stories that were closely related to his teammates and not known to outsiders. So......

"How is this possible!"

"If you're really Rhaeggar, how are you still alive when your heart is broken?"

"Whoever you are, you probably somehow read Rhaegar's memories?"

It's not unbelievable, it's unbelievable.

"You can notice that when my voice sounded, even though my eyes were closed, my vocal cords were still vibrating, and I was still inside this body that was about to collapse." Rhaegar thought for a moment and said. "I'll do my best to cooperate with you, no matter what verification you need, or lock me up. But until then...... If you don't deal with it quickly, my body is really going to collapse. Once my body breaks down, then Regamalik will never come back. ”

Here Rhaegar uses the long-lost name 'Regamalik'. Coulson: They thought it was him inadvertently saying his name, but it was actually a way for Rhaegar to separate himself from the identity that the body represented. He wasn't lying, and once this body collapsed, he could no longer appear as Regamalik as he is now. And with the recovery efficiency he attached to this body, it would not allow this body to recover from an injury of this magnitude from a heart piercing. If it drags on any further, the rest of the body will die due to the loss of blood supply. At that time, he will have to find a new corpse or body to 'live in'.

Of course, even if he wants to win the trust of Skye and Coulson, he will not say this last point. The ability to change bodies to live is too terrifying and unsettling. And now, what he 'openly and honestly' says to his teammates is:

"I didn't say it before, because I was afraid of being reported by you, or ostracized, or even put on the laboratory bench as a guinea pig. But after these two months of getting along, I know you're not that kind of person. Moreover, the existence of the special operations team was originally due to the fact that some high-level executives believed that Hydra's approach to superpowers should be changed. So, I'm now choosing to keep what I'm hiding from you - yes, I'm a superpower. ”

As she said this, Rhaegar was undergoing emergency surgery from Fitz and Simmons. He delayed the death of his body with his 'soul' body, but in order to recover, someone had to repair the punctured wound in his heart. This kind of thing seems to have never happened before in the history of medicine, and Fitz and Simmons remain skeptical of this method without knowing Rhaeggar's abilities. If it weren't for Rhaegar insisting, they wouldn't have 'wasted' that time.

Oh, that's what they say. In fact, they are still very concerned about Rhaegar's safety, and they are very nervous at this time!

Listening to Rhaegar's words, Ward, who had been silent, suddenly interjected coldly: "You have one less reason: you have no choice now, and if you don't say it, you will die." ”

Rhaegar looked thoughtfully at Ward. Honestly, he was sure that he would be able to convince the rest of the team to regain their trust and let them help keep the secret, the difference was just how long it would take. But Ward ...... Ward in his previous life was a villain, and all the way from an elite agent to an elite villain to a villain boss and finally became the parasite of the super boss, even if Ward changed his mentor in this world, no longer John Garrett's 'adopted son' but became a disciple of Victoria Hand, a woman who was loyal to S.H.I.E.L.D. in her previous life, Rhaegar is still not sure that he is a good person. So for Rhaegar Ward, Ward was the biggest risk under his decision to disclose some of his abilities. But as Ward said, he had no other choice.

On the other hand, after the incident between May and Bus, Rhaegar had planned to have a relatively open conversation with Coulson after all the things in Gotham and tell some of his secrets. Now it's just a matter of changing the target of disclosure from Coulson to the entire squad.

"You're right, if you don't say it, you'll die, I have no other choice. But believe me, I've tried to say it several times, but I just didn't find the right time. I didn't expect it to be ...... now" At this point, Rhaegar shook his head. Under the emergency treatment of Fitz and Simmons, the wound in his heart has been stitched up and is no longer bleeding. He also regained a bit of 'strength' and was able to control the movement of his entire head instead of only his vocal cords, as before. At this time, he showed a ashamed and serious expression. "I never thought it would be bad for you. I'm sorry for the previous concealment. I would like to say, and perhaps you have noticed, that I have been trying to fit in with you, but I have never found my place. But trust me, you've given me a sense of belonging that I've never felt like I've ever belonged, and I'm willing to play whatever role you need for it! ”

Except for the part about his own abilities, Rhaegar was sincere in these words.
