Chapter 798 A long letter is hard to buy a drunk
Looking at the time displayed on the data, several people believed Susan's guess. This is definitely not a coincidence, because it is almost impossible for the world to have a coincidence that is accurate to milliseconds. If this happens, then there must be a very deep relationship between them.
But what kind of connection will there be? And why does such connections appear? It is difficult for them to get answers for a while. The complex situation makes them unable to start even if they want to explore. And it is difficult for Zhou Yi to provide them with any limited help.
Therefore, they could only put the core of the problem on the shadow. At the same time, they began to find ways to find the answers they wanted from those who have been exposed to the shadow. This link is not easy, especially because they have to take into account Zhou Yi's current physical condition. However, no matter what, they have begun to investigate and from all aspects.
Just as they began to investigate these things secretly, the Avengers who had temporarily settled in the Iron City suddenly discovered something very bad for them. That is, the guy named Winter Soldier is gone.
This discovery surprised them at the beginning because they thought it was Tony who secretly kidnapped the Winter Soldier. But soon, the captain discovered that this was an impossible thing. Not to mention how many outsiders would have the ability to penetrate in the city where this mutant accounted for the majority, just because of the ability of the Winter Soldier, it would be impossible to be taken away quietly.
So it must be something else! But what would happen? It was difficult for him to judge for a while. And just as he began to ponder about it and was worried about the safety of his friends, a mutant child ran to him and handed him a letter.
For modern people who are already accustomed to email, writing letters is already a long time. But for captains born in the last century, writing letters is the most normal thing. And it was very popular to pass letters through children on the street to pass letters. So in an instant, he understood who sent the letter and what kind of thought the owner of the letter was.
However, with the idea of luck, he opened the letter. As soon as he opened the letter, he immediately saw the flower-like handwriting that his old friend had learned when he was young and familiar with.
"Steve, when you see this letter, believe I've left the mutant's shelter and come to the city controlled by Stark. I know you'll stop me, so I didn't say hello to you. I'm sorry, but this is something I have to do."
"Since I regained myself, I have been suffering. Steve, you won't understand how many terrible things I have done and how many innocent lives I have killed over the years. I know, you will comfort me and tell me that this is Hydra's mistake. They brainwashed me and made me commit these crimes. But even you can't deny that I am the executioner. I am indeed full of blood in my hands."
"It turns out that I can't dream. But when I regained myself, I began to dream about those who were killed by me every night. I don't know them, but they come to haunt my soul and want to drag me into the abyss hell. This terrible feeling made me wake up almost every night."
"But I still insist, because you are by my side. My friend, you will not understand what you mean to me. At this time, only you can give me confidence and last courage. I thought we could continue to fight side by side like this, knowing that I used all my efforts to wash away the blood in my hands and repay all my sins. But it turned out that all this was just my naive delusion."
"Stark's affairs are just an inducement, not the most important factor. I do regret that I killed the Howards, but I don't have much impression of the things at that time, so I actually have limited guilt about them. What really makes me feel guilty were the ordinary people on Los Angeles TV. At that time, I had actually begun to gradually become self-aware, but I still habitually accepted the orders from Hydra. It was the gun I fired, and I killed those innocent men, women and children. That kind of sin is unforgivable. Even if we weave a good excuse or a good reason for ourselves, it is completely unforgivable."
"Forgive me, my friend. I really don't want to drag you down any longer. I'm really tired. The painful torture has pushed me to the brink of collapse. I, a sinful guy, shouldn't drag my best friend into the abyss anymore. So forgive me, I made the choice I should make the most."
"If you receive this letter, please promise me, Steve, don't come to me, and don't think about saving me. Let me be judged and watch me pay my sins quietly. You are the hero of this world, and I believe you can return this world that has begun to become chaotic to peace. Just like you did more than seventy years ago. You belong to this world, not me alone. So, promise me, Steve, don't do anything! Promise me, Steve, do what you should do the most. Unfortunately, I will not be by your side in the days to come and continue to fight side by side with you. But believe me, even if I fall into the darkest corner of hell, I will look at you with my eyes and watch you become the brightest star in human history. Your most loyal friend, James Buchanan Bucky Barnes."
A long letter almost made the captain lose the strength to stand. He covered his mouth with his hands with difficulty, and finally did not make any other sounds from somewhere. Looking at his performance, the rest of the Avengers immediately became worried.
"Captain, you have nothing to do?"
"Sorry, guys." He barely suppressed the violent fluctuations in his heart, and the captain showed a calm look. "No need to find Bucky, he went where he wanted to go. I think we should respect his determination."
Not many of them were idiots, so soon everyone understood what he meant. This made them immediately lose their minds. At the same time, they began to worry about the captain.
"Captain, don't be too sad. Since this is what Barnes himself means, then we need to respect him. If you want to be more open, everything will be fine."
He patted the captain on the shoulder and someone comforted him like this. And the captain just smiled reluctantly.
"Thank you, everyone, thank you for your support during this period. But I think I need to be alone now. So please, can you give me some space?"
After he said this, the Avengers who respected him very much naturally had no other objections. So soon, they walked away quietly, leaving a separate space for the captain. After thinking alone for a long time, the captain finally sighed with deep melancholy.
He chose to follow what Bucky said in his heart and watched him walk towards the end of his life. But despite his decision, his heart could not be smooth.
This is the second person who left him, and may also be the last one. This is an era that is very strange to him. Bucky and Pephi are the only existences in this era that can make him feel peaceful. But now, after Pephi has left one step ahead, even Bucky is leaving him. This makes his heart full of pain and despair, sadness and confusion.
This is the pain of a lost person in a wrong era. This pain makes him want to drink alcohol, numb himself through alcohol, and forget all of this. However, after drinking all the wine in the room, he can't feel drunk.
He was very sober, sobering pain. This pain made him continue to pursue temporary indulgence and numbness, and to pursue the moment of relief of forgetting all troubles and sorrows. So he came to the bar in this city alone, and swallowed the strong wine glasses like drinking water.
This way of drinking scared many people, and it also gave him a rare purity. However, soon the captain realized a problem, that is, he was a guy who could not get drunk. The super soldier serum changed his life and also gave him the ability to be immune to alcohol by just watching the blood circulation. He was never drunk and could always stay awake. This made him feel pain.
After the bartender at the bar refused to add wine to him again, he shook his alcoholic clothes, intending to leave here with this pain and continue to carry out his mission in his original appearance. At this moment, he walked alone to him.
This was a sophisticated gentleman with a civilized stick. He sat straight to the captain, then showed a meaningful smile and said to the captain.
"Young man, would you like to sit down and chat with me?"
"Sorry, sir. I don't know you, and I don't mean to chat with you."
For the strange behavior of this kind of person, the captain subconsciously became alert and refused bluntly.
But this sophisticated gentleman seemed to have not heard the captain's rejection, but continued to say to him with a smile.
"I can feel your confusion, young man. I can feel the pain in your heart. From your eyes, I can see that you are a person with strong will and beliefs. If such a person has this kind of mood, then what you have to encounter must be very sad. Am I right?"
"It has nothing to do with you, sir!"
"Well, I'm too troubled. But since you're here, you're definitely going to want to get drunk. Ordinary wine cannot shake the will of people like you. What you need is that kind of good wine, the kind that can make people forget their sorrows if you drink it. And I happened to save a special bottle of good wine here. Are you interested in having a glass? Young people."
A kind smile appeared on the gentleman's face. But the smile in the captain's eyes was extremely gloomy. He seemed to see a devil tempting him. But soon, he gave up this idea and brought himself back to reality. Then, he immediately asked the gentleman.
