Chapter 72: Darkness Out of the Cage

S.H.I.E.L.D., the Secret Service station.

Ryan was wearing shorts, the curtains were wide open, and the sun was pouring freely.

Behind him, Rumlow lay on the sofa with his eyes closed, sweat on his forehead, and his body twitched slightly.

The two fangs under the lip grow rapidly.

Moment.

"I ...... I feel very different! ”

An exhilarating voice came from behind Ryan.

"Hmm."

Rumlow walked up to the sun, and he opened his hands and faced out the window, moving his fingers as carefully as if he could touch the sun.

Turning his head, he looked at the glass on the side, opened his mouth slightly, and his two fangs were exposed.

Reaching out and pressing it, it was certain that it was not a hallucination.

"It's incredible!" He looked at Ryan with a blank look, "That's why you're so powerful?" ”

Ryan squinted, and his golden eyes were indifferent.

Rumlow's heart suddenly sank, and he bowed his head slightly.

"Fury won't stop investigating Hydra, what do you guys think?" Ryan asked.

Rumlow immediately replied, "Mr. Pierce has already begun to work on cutting the hands and feet of the Insight Project, and when this part is complete, we will remain silent, if we just look at it, he will not find anything." ”

"You're confident, but aren't you underestimating him?"

"Do you have any suggestions?"

"I don't know Hydra and can't give advice, but be cautious and tell Pierce that he can cut off his tail to survive if necessary, and if he can really find out about someone of your level one day, it's okay to kick him out early. Also, there's something you need to do. ”

Hearing this, Rumlow immediately nodded: "Please command." ”

"To find an arms dealer named Ulysses Crowe, to track down vibranium, to find its provenance, I need a specific location."

"Understood!" Rumlow turned to leave.

Ryan added: "Blood is food, people are not, don't be greedy." ”

Rumlow looked back at Ryan's back, and his eyes suddenly became a little complicated: "I'll remember." ”

After Rumlow leaves, Ryan calls Zemo.

"The Red Room will be handed over to Red for the time being, you can come and meet your old accomplices."

"Okay, I'll come over that afternoon. By the way, Sharon took a leave of absence. ”

"Sharon?"

She said her aunt didn't seem to be doing well, so she had to go back to England to visit. You know for sure who her aunt is. ”

Peggy Carter.

A close comrade-in-arms of Steve Rogers and Howard Stark, and the founder of the patriarch of the predecessor of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Although she has long since retired, her status in S.H.I.E.L.D. is still detached.

She's dying.

If memory serves, she will die in June 2016, which means that she has only the last six years to live.

But Steve Rogers is still frozen at the moment, and he won't be able to come back to life until next year.

So at this moment, is she willing to continue to live for the sake of the previous agreement?

Thinking of this, Ryan shook his head.

Whether she wants it or not is her business, and whether she does it or not is my business.

In the afternoon, Zemo arrives, and Ryan introduces him to Pierce.

Zemo is a man of Hydra, but his leader is Baron Wolfgang von Straker, and due to family life and other reasons, he is currently only a marginal figure of Hydra.

Straker and Pierce definitely knew each other, but it was two different teams, so he didn't know Zemo.

Through Ryan's introduction, the conversation between the two was very pleasant.

After dinner, Zemo returns to the station with Ryan, and tomorrow morning, he will officially participate, review, and sort out everything that the Serpent Shield has on Ryan's behalf.

On the way, Zemo asked the doubts in his heart.

"Sir, why are you still letting Pierce control Hydra?"

"Because he's been doing a good job." Ryan explained slowly, "Natasha knows about the Red Room, but not about Hydra, and if she learns about Hydra, she will definitely report it to Fury, which is one of them." The second point is that Hydra is much more than that, Straker's, Malik's, Viper's...... Maintaining its independence and integrity is more conducive to future development. ”

Zemo was amazed at the sheer size of the Hydra, some of the names and branches that he didn't even know himself, and at the same time, he was also surprised by Ryan's intelligence.

Later, Ryan added, "The things and problems you deal with will become more and more dangerous. ”

Ze Mo smiled when he heard this: "It's okay, even if I die, you can save me, right?" ”

Ryan had already offered to convert him, but he refused.

The reason, of course, is family.

He hoped that he would still be able to live with his family for a long time as a normal human being.

When asked to convert his family, Zemo refused.

He was indeed very principled, and he deeply understood and lived the truth that "the meaning of life is not about length".

"If you don't even have a body left, then I can't save anything." Ryan reminded.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful." Zemo said freely, "Maybe in the future, when one of my family members is about to die, I will change my mind." In fact, I can't imagine losing any of them. ”

"Yes, my previous words are valid at any time."

"I know you're a special person. Ambition, but not for identity, status, and power, not to resist killing, but not always to kill to solve problems. ”

Ryan smiled, "What kind of person am I in your eyes?" ”

Zemo shook his head and smiled, "It's not clear yet, I'll have to take another look." But it's reassuring to work with you, and at least I know I don't have any worries. For people like me, who are not good at strength and use their brains more to deal with problems, they must find someone with both strength and wisdom as a background. It's like the ancient Chinese strategists, what do you think? ”

"Makes sense."

At night, Ryan was bathed in moonlight as always.

City, dark alley.

The slippery floor smelled of chaos and pungent smell.

A tall, delicate figure emerges from the shadows.

The dim street lamps were shining, and it was still dark under the hood, and she held a black stone in her left hand and a leather bag in her right hand, and the smell of blood was faintly coming from the bag.

As she took a step, the black stone in her hand glowed red.

For a moment, when the red light was bright, she suddenly stopped.

Leaning over to open the purse, she reached into it with both hands, and soon she pulled it out...... A bloody black goat's head.

Take a step back and place the sheep's head at your feet.

The hard ground suddenly rippled like water waves, and wisps of dark aura from the ground quickly converged, lifting the sheep's head from the ground and condensing itself into an inky black goat's body.

Suddenly, the goat's closed eyes suddenly opened, and his eyes were filled with a terrifying darkness.

It glanced at the woman, then leaped up and swept away like the wind.

But in less than a minute, it was back.

The mouth was dripping with blood, but the body had returned to normal.

It stood where its head had just been placed, staring at the woman motionlessly, its eyes dark and hollow, terrifying and terrifying.

The woman turned and continued to the next place.

The goat bowed its head and dived into the ground as a black gas.

In the process, she placed different parts of the body that were still bloodstained on the various creatures in different places.

And everywhere she went, the city was surrounded.

As she stepped into more places, more and more black shadows seemed to accumulate in the elongated shadows behind her, and they tried to break away from the figures one after another, but there seemed to be a tough barrier at the edge of the shadows, so that they kept returning in vain.

However, the night was long.

It seems that it is only a matter of time before they get out of trouble.
