It was another afternoon, and the weather was clear, with only a few thin clouds in the distance reflecting the brilliant glow of the setting sun.

, still standing on the hill where someone once stood and staring into the distance, quietly watching the goshawk in the sky cross the clouds. She's been like this for a few days, dedicating herself to her work, but she can't help but stand here for a while when she's free.

Fortunately, time is the best medicine, and the initial feeling of chest tightness that is almost breathless, although it still exists, has faded a little.

Maybe it will eventually dissipate completely, but the female agent knows that her life has been deeply engraved by that person.

There was a sound of soft footsteps nearby, and a small soldier hesitantly walked up to her.

"Miss Carter." Steve called out to her, and the female agent blinked before turning her head.

At this time, she regained her sharp and cold eyes. Under such an indifferent gaze, Steve's comforting words suddenly stuck in his throat and could no longer be spoken.

"Is there something wrong?" Carter asked lightly, this time to disturb, if it was someone else, she would not pay attention, but naturally be a little polite to that person's friend.

"I just want to say, don't be too upset." Steve said to Ai. "If Eric is still around, I don't think he wants to see you sad......"

"Thank you." After a polite response, Carter turned his head back and looked back into the distance.

She wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone right now.

In fact, after the initial shock, she read the notice a dozen times over and over again, and it did not mention the exact evidence of Eric's death. Later, she also made some acquaintances with Colonel Phillips, and apart from the battle report, she only found the military badge of his new supervisor, the intelligence officer of the 6th Army, McTagoth, and there was no corpse or any other direct proof. Although the battle was very fierce, it was surrounded by the superior forces of the enemy. The convoy was almost completely wiped out, the ships they were on were extremely badly damaged, the upper deck was hit by shells, the flames burned almost the entire ship, and the navy search and rescue personnel did not live on it - but even if this qiē was true, it did not mean that the guy who could fight the class soldiers was really dead.

Maybe he was just unlucky to fall into the sea, or was captured by the Germans.

Carter thought so, although he knew that he might not be as optimistic as he thought, but it was always a hope.

What made her even more flustered was when Eric was drafted into the army. A series of texts signed before boarding a ship in New York. As is common practice in the military, soldiers usually set the beneficiary of the insurance as themselves or their family, and there is also a notarized will, which also sets the name of the heir to the estate as her.

For Eric, it was just a matter of getting his hands dirty, and his initial idea was to get what he wanted, find a way to go back seventy years and leave. There weren't many people he knew in this world, and neither Steve nor Bucky needed them. Of course, the only thing left is Peggy, who has a close relationship with him, so he leaves all the things on his body for her, hoping that she will not have to worry about money for at least the rest of her life - but in Peggy's opinion, this is a different meaning.

Multitude. The female agent just thought quietly, immersed in her own world. Steve, who was next to him, could only hang his head helplessly and slowly walked down the hill.

When he returned to the ground and looked back again. Suddenly I felt like I had lost something important.

At this moment, an older man walked up to him and gently patted the young man's thin shoulder.

She just couldn't accept it for a while. It's good to be in the past. Dr. Erskine looked at Carter and shook his head as he led Steve to the corner of the playground.

"Do you think Eric is really dead?" On the way, the doctor asked casually.

"I don't know, maybe not." Steve replied confused, unable to tell what it was like.

"I think so too." The doctor is a person who has come over, and you can guess his mood. "Eric has a lot of secrets, and he's not as innocent as you think."

"I know, how can you just pick up a genius casually." Steve sighed. "Still, while I'm sure I've never met him, I always felt like we were familiar."

"Maybe you have something in common, and hopefully he's not like the other person I know." The doctor sighed and slowly told the young man his story.

"I'm from Augsburg, Bavaria, my nation was very difficult after the European war, and then Hitler came to power, marching all day, a lot of heavy rallies, flags flying, and then he heard about me and my research, and that man was ambitious, and he was as interested in magic and German mythology as Hitler. Hitler inspired his followers with his fantasies, which for Schmidt was not a fantasy, he believed that it was real, he believed that there were great forces in the world waiting for the acquisition of higher human beings, and he wanted to become higher human beings through guò my real yàn. ”

"Did he succeed?" Looking at the doctor, who was immersed in memories, Steve couldn't help but ask.

"Yes." Waking up from the memory, the doctor nodded. "But there are side effects, and it strengthens not only the human body, but also the personality."

"That means ......," the little man guessed hesitantly.

"Good people are better, bad people are worse." The doctor admits it freely. "That's why you are chosen, more valuable than muscles, is character, and I believe you are a good person."

At this moment, the young man felt that a heavy burden had never been felt on his weak shoulders.

By this time they had reached a remote corner, and the Doctor sat down on a nearby bench.

"There are many phenomena in this world that we do not understand, and we have tried to explain them with logic and scientific knowledge, and we have achieved great results, but the more we know, the more phenomena that are difficult to understand, and in order to get close to them, we must first build a platform on the ground, and then build a tower. But this is not high enough, the truth can still only be looked upon, so it is necessary to lay a more solid foundation, build more towers to unite them, and build higher layer by layer. ”

However, the foundation was limited in its capacity, so the higher it went, the narrower the top, and finally the people appeared, and they built a pyramid. At this time, it no longer matters whether the original purpose has been achieved or not, and what the truth is, because under the weight of the class, the structure below has long been out of breath, and whatever is gained at the top, it belongs only to a very small number of people, not to the whole of humanity. ”

"Isn't that what society is like?" From this perspective, it suddenly seemed that the free country was not much different from the historical state.

"Yes, the Emperor, the Yuan, the Emperor, the Sultan, they are all on top. Constitutionalism brought a glimmer of light to society, but it was only a decentralization of power to the aristocracy, and the representative system was a system that could reflect the will of the people, but the government itself was full of deception and compromise, and once someone understood its mystery, the elite class could control it like the aristocracy of the past, but under a different name. Perhaps your friend Eric is right when he says that my potion will create a superior nation, but in an instant it will also reduce others to the lower class. ”

"Eric?" Steve read the name suspiciously, one his friend and the other his guide, but he never knew the two had crossed paths.

"Yes, we've talked a lot." The doctor replied lightly. "He's a wise man, and hopefully he won't become another Schmidt."

Hearing the hint in Erskine's words, Steve's body shook violently.

The doctor ignored him and continued.

"I was born into a family of doctors, and at a very young age I saw the miserable lives of patients, and everyone, no matter how strong they were when they were young, there will always be a day when they are old and a day when they are sick. At that time, I thought about why mankind should suffer such a fate, and if Jehovah really loves mankind, it should not have brought such cruel punishment, whether we are born with original sin or are we being played with by the Supreme Being. I couldn't find the answer, so I had to use my own methods to save humanity. I've spent my whole life studying the evolution of the human body, and now that it's about to succeed, I suddenly get a little scared, I wonder if I'm one of those people who built a pyramid that thought it could make a huge difference to humanity, but in fact it only benefited a very small number of people. ”

"But it can help us end the war, and I think what you've done is valuable, Doctor." Steve tried to comfort him.

Erskine smiled, no objection or nod.

Now that he has seen through it, all politicians will not be much different.

If Schmidt had been willing, he would not have been able to reextract the serum from his own blood and inject it into the Nazis in large quantities to help Germany achieve victory. But he didn't, just sent a few people as if he were dealing with it, and it was still only a matter of time before Germany failed. In the same way, the same is probably true for the top of the allies, one part of the rebirth plan is a class soldier, and the other part is somewhat similar to Eric's ability, their existence is far beyond the need to win the war, and it is foreseeable that they will not be mainly used for ordinary soldiers in the future, and serving the high-ranking people is the ultimate purpose of their existence.

The thought that he might have created a stubborn ruling class with his own hands made the doctor shudder.

In the end, he could only tell the young man in front of him.

"Whatever happens in the future, you have to promise me." The doctor looked at Steve closely. "Be yourself, not a level warrior, but a good person."

Looking at the solemn doctor,. (To be continued!)
