Chapter 223: The air conditioner filter exploded
"Can I trust you?"
Steve's words stunned Oakes for a moment, and then thought for a moment.
"You...... Gone on a mission? ”
It's early January, but the weather is good.
Steve is not wearing a combat uniform now, but a shield in civilian clothes.
"Yes, I was on a S.H.I.E.L.D. mission last night......
But this task allowed me to discover that I ...... I don't know who to trust. ”
Steve put his shield on the couch, sat down on it, and pulled out a small notebook:
"During this time, I watched "I Love Lucy", "The Moon Landing", "The Berlin Wall: Build and Tear Down",
I learned about Steve Jobs of Apple, learned disco, tried Thai food, watched "Star Trek" and "Rocky", "Rocky 2", and listened to the songs of the band Nirvana.
But before I could pay attention to the original soundtrack of "Black Hand", this guy I just met introduced to me yesterday. ”
He put the notebook away and sighed:
"I've tried my best to adapt to the world, and the work of Rendekai and Carter's company have made me feel like I'm able to adapt to my current life......
But as it turned out, it still didn't work, and the missing seventy years were not so easy to make up. ”
"Oh?"
Oakes had a rough idea of what was going on.
It seems that Coulson's ability to catch up with this year's Spring Festival annual meeting is really a problem.
"Then when you have this question, why is it not Ms. Carter, but me?"
Oakes stood up with a smile and poured two cups of coffee himself, one in front of Steve and one for himself, and sat down on the couch opposite Steve.
"And looking at you like this, I'm afraid you didn't go straight to Brooklyn on a motorcycle from Washington in one go?"
"Uh...... That's right. ”
Steve took a sip of his coffee cup, and the mellow coffee made him feel better, at least he could barely laugh:
"Peggy is someone I absolutely trust and she's helped me so much these days.
But I don't want her to worry about it anymore, it's good for her health.
So she still thinks I'm on a mission.
I don't believe in S.H.I.E.L.D., I don't believe in Fury, and even Tony and Banner have an unreliable side, but you're the only one ......"
Steve put down his coffee cup and looked at Oaks earnestly with his blue pupils:
"Although you are sometimes reluctant when it is time to do it, among the people I know, if you are not trustworthy, then I really have no one else to trust."
"Well, the high evaluation makes me a little scared."
Oakes put down his coffee cup and spread his hands:
"You are the 'righteous man of God' Captain America, is it recognized by you like this, does it mean that I am a good person?"
"Oakes, you are committed to protecting and restoring the human environment, and you have been awakening the will of the people in a public welfare way......
You've been doing what you think is right. ”
There was even a hint of ...... in Steve's eyes Envy:
"I've been trying to do the right thing, but now I can't figure out what's right.
I used to think that I could devote myself to the task, to carry out orders, to serve the country......
But that's no longer the case. ”
"Because the world has changed."
Oakes raised an eyebrow:
"People change, not to mention the country, the world.
Seventy years can be described as earth-shattering......
There is a saying in the East, called 'the world is declining, the people's hearts are not ancient', and the progress and changes of the times will inevitably lead to more and more complex people's hearts.
Limited freedom and unlimited thought create an incomparable conflict. ”
His junior leaned back on the sofa and changed into a comfortable position:
"About whether I can trust ...... I think you already had an answer the moment you stepped into here.
So what is the problem that you have suddenly started thinking like a philosopher? ”
“…… I now understand what you said to me. ”
Steve was silent for a moment, and finally regained his usual hearty smile:
"A lot of the time the agents don't look at the surface."
"Well, you said that your eyes are not something that ordinary people can hide."
The two laughed together.
After a few moments, Steve took a deep breath and told Oakes about his mission, as well as ......
"Project Insight, that's what Nick Fury told me at the end."
Steve subconsciously glanced at his feet, he came directly from the portal of the small rainforest, and naturally knew very well that this was a super mothership under his feet.
"It's not as big as you, but those three Motherships of Insight are armed to the teeth."
Steve folded his arms and snorted coldly:
"Point a gun at the whole world, in the name of protection...... S.H.I.E.L.D. is no longer the organization that Peggy and Howard founded. ”
Oakes sat upright, listened to Steve's story, and now nodded slowly:
"Seventy years ago, everyone had the common enemy of NC, and the so-called unity of mind was the direction of the times.
The establishment of S.H.I.E.L.D. naturally inherited this trend.
But now, with no external threat, the rulers are looking inward...... This is also a question that often arises in the course of historical evolution.
Lock on to DNA and kill criminal-prone targets early?
Heh, Nick Fury told me before that we need to improve our threat analysis technology so that we can find the signs of a threat before it appears, so that we can quickly respond to it or make emergency responses.
I originally thought that he would set up a special reaction force similar to the Avengers, or establish emergency protection measures, but I didn't expect it to be such a brain-dead method. ”
"Did he mention it to you before?"
Steve was struck by Oakes' words:
"He said the last time he believed in people, the price was the loss of an eye."
"Now we all know he's, he's just a cheap hand, the person in question...... Cat, it's still with me. ”
Oakes made a leash movement:
"The last time I brought back Scol and Harty, he told me that he came as soon as you left."
Steve remembered the experience of being licked by Hattie and couldn't help grinning -
If you have a chance to get a dog in the future.
"The laws of no country will condemn a person who has a criminal mind but does not act on it, let alone kills him."
Oakes shook his head:
"You're right, Steve.
While Fury says it's for terrorists, it's up to whoever controls Project Insight to have the final say on who can be 'defined' as a terrorist.
This is another form of terrorism – I wonder if you have heard the 'unfounded' story of the ancient country of the East? ”
Oakes explained the meaning of the word to Steve, and the other party was already in awe, and nodded slowly:
"I see......"
But suddenly, he saw Oakes's expression instantly become serious.
"What's wrong?"
"Nick Fury is in trouble...... I sent him the air conditioner filter to blow up. ”
Steve: "??? ”
