A crossover movie viewing experience, kicking off Marvel's Endgame.

"Pfft, this old man really has a big heart."

Watching the old man's performance on the screen, Ye Shouguang couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed. He really didn't know if the old man was faking it or if he was genuinely carefree. If he really was carefree, Ye Shouguang could only say that the old man was still the old man, having seen it all before.

"Heh-hmm~ Hah, hmm~!"

[On a S.H.I.E.L.D. hospital bed, Hawkeye Shirou's hands are tightly handcuffed. He has just woken up and is somewhat dazed.]

Although Shirou Emiya was supposedly jolted awake, the lingering effects of Loki's Mind Control Scepter still made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Shirou Emiya, you'll be alright."

At this moment, Hawkeye Shirou's forehead was covered in a fine layer of sweat, and the veins in his arms were bulging from the exertion.

"Really? Are you so sure?"

[Emiya Shirou, the Hawkeye, also took a long time to reply.]

"We can't let our guard down; we have to get him out of here."

[Shirou Emiya, the Hawkeye, leaned against the pillows and murmured.]

"This won't be easy; we have to take it slowly."

[Black Widow Vermouth poured herself a glass of water and said.]

"You don't know, do you know what it feels like to have your will taken away and be manipulated at will?"

[Shirou Emiya, the Hawkeye, tilted his head and spoke to Vermouth, the Black Widow.]

"We'll pull you out and put someone else in."

Do you know what it feels like to be dismantled?

"I don't know, maybe there's someone else who feels the same way you do."

Black Widow Vermouth felt that Dr. Ishigami Senku probably felt the same way to some extent as Hawkeye.

"By the way, how did I recover?"

"[Hawkeye Shirou asked.]"

"Cognitive re-correction, colloquially known as a head-knocking exercise."

[Black Widow Vermouth stated that S.H.I.E.L.D. does possess equipment capable of detecting and neutralizing mind control, but it's not on the aircraft carrier; it's located at the S.H.I.E.L.D. base on the ground. Furthermore, there wasn't time to send Hawkeye Shirou there.]

[Black Widow Vermouth also began to untie Hawkeye Shirou.]

Hawkeye stared into Black Widow Vermouth's eyes and spoke.

"Vermouth, how many special forces have I killed...?"

[Shirou Emiya, the Hawkeye, also wanted to ask the question that troubled him the most, but before he could even ask it, he was cut off by Vermouth, the Black Widow.]

"Don't torture yourself, Shirou. It's Loki who's doing the evil, not you. It's that monster, it's magic, it's an enemy we've never even heard of."

[Black Widow Vermouth knows what kind of person Hawkeye Shirou Emiya is. She imagines he'd be heartbroken for a long time if he knew. Vermouth thinks if Hawkeye truly grieves for the fallen agents, he should channel his pain into power and unleash it on Loki.]

"Loki, did he escape?"

267: Rogers: I'll let you take the lead for now, King.

[Shirou Hawkeye asked in a deep voice, "If Loki were still alive, I would go see Loki, that bastard who controlled me, even though I haven't fully recovered."]

"They ran away."

[Shirou Emiya, the Hawkeye, wasn't surprised by Black Widow Vermouth's answer, after all]

"Do you know where Loki went?"

[Vermouth inquired, after all, Hawkeye Shirou was once controlled by Loki, so he might know something.]

"Sigh, it's not my place to meddle, so I didn't ask."

[Shirou Mihawk replied that Loki might have foreseen this when he was being controlled, which is why he didn't tell Shirou Mihawk where he would go.]

"But I know Loki will act again soon, today."

[Shirou Emiya, the Hawkeye, slowly sat up straight, then picked up the water Vermouth had poured for him and drank it.]

"We need to stop Loki."

"Really? Who, us?"

[Hawkeye Shirou Emiya listened to Black Widow Vermouth's use of the word "us" with some curiosity. What did she mean by "us"? Even while under her control, Shirou hadn't seen any other Avengers, or rather, he didn't even know about the Avengers.]

"I don't know, maybe it's one of the survivors."

Black Widow Vermouth also kept everyone in suspense, not directly telling Hawkeye Shirou about the Avengers.

"Well, if I could shoot Loki through the eye socket with an arrow, maybe I could get a good night's sleep."

"That's more like you."

"But you don't seem like yourself. You're a spy, not a soldier. Why would you think of charging into battle? What did Loki do to you, or did he say something to you?"

[Shirou Emiya's perceptive abilities aren't limited to combat; he can also perceive many things in everyday life.]

"Nothing much, it's just... I was swayed by Loki. Loki is right, I owe a lot of blood debts."

"Could I borrow your notes to take a look?"

L spoke to Light Yagami, who then handed over his notebook. L looked at Light Yagami's notebook, which contained the page Light Yagami had just written down.

The original Avengers: Iron Man (Zhuge Cong), War Machine (Hachiman Hikigaya), Black Widow (Vermouth), Hawkeye (Shirou Emiya), Hulk (Senku Ishigami), Thor, and Captain Steve Rogers.

"This is just my guess, because there are still a few candidates, and I'm still thinking about it."

Light Yagami spoke up, mentioning several other candidates: Tsukasa Shishio, Zhuge Cong's bodyguard; Sasori, the only member of the Iron Alliance; Agent Twilight; and Agent Joel. However, due to certain factors, Light Yagami did not rashly add them.

L then roughly flipped through Light Yagami's notebook. There wasn't much in the notebook, since it was a new notebook and the previous one had already been filled with Light Yagami's notes.

"Hmm, the records are quite good. In some aspects, they are a little better and more detailed than those of the Light Curtain Organization."

L commented on Light Yagami's notes, while Gordon, standing nearby, could only feel helpless inwardly upon hearing L's words. However, he was also curious as to why L would praise him so much, so he leaned over and took a few glances at Light Yagami's notes. Gordon then said that it was true; if Light Yagami joined the Light Curtain Organization's intelligence gathering department, he would definitely be very helpful.

"What do you think will be Loki's fate in the end? Will the Chitauri army be able to descend upon Earth?"

L said to Light Yagami.

"I think Loki's fate will be to be taken back to Asgard by Thor, as for the Chitauri army..."

"I think it would be too difficult for Earth's armed forces to contend with an alien army. I estimate that in the end it will be the Avengers and Loki fighting, but of course I can't say for sure what that will be like."

Light Yagami shared his thoughts. In his view, an army with the appearance of the Chitauri was already fighting on an alien planet, so dealing with a civilization on Earth that couldn't even build warships that could leave Earth should be a piece of cake.

It's just that they might not use anti-planetary weapons even if they have them, because they're worried that Loki wants to become king on Earth.

Is he married?

Captain Rogers found Zhuge Cong, who was standing somewhere in a daze, before Hachiman Kikka.

"He's married, to his high school classmate, and they have a daughter who's probably in middle school."

[Zhuge Cong replied.]

"I'm so sorry."

"He seems like a very nice person."

[Captain Rogers said after hearing Zhuge Cong's words.]

"Hmph, Nishikata is a complete idiot."

[Zhuge Cong said with grief and indignation, "In Zhuge Cong's eyes, Xi Pian is just an ordinary person. He doesn't have superhuman physical abilities to be fearless of death, nor does he have powerful armor to protect him. Why did he insist on challenging Loki?"]

"Why do I say that? Just because he has faith?"

"No, because Nishikata went to confront Loki alone."

"He was just being dutiful; that's not being stupid."

"That's called overestimating oneself. Nishikata should have waited for reinforcements; he should have..."

[Zhuge Cong was at a loss for words. Regarding Nishikata's death, Zhuge Cong blamed himself for not being able to quickly deal with the genju and then help Nishikata.]

"Sometimes there's just no other way, Cong."

"It's like I'm obeying an order."

At this moment, Hachiman Hikigaya also came over and spoke to Zhuge Cong, understanding Zhuge Cong's current feelings.

"But what orders did Nishikata have to go and fight Loki with that cumbersome, crappy weapon that takes forever to charge?"

[As Zhuge Cong spoke, Rogers, looking at Zhuge Cong's expression, suddenly seemed to realize something and said...]

Is this the first time you've lost a comrade?

"We are not soldiers."

[After saying this, Zhuge Cong felt a pang of regret. This wasn't the first time he'd lost a comrade, which was why he wanted to protect those he cared about and not lose them again. The pain of loss was suffocating.]

"I will not obey King's orders."

"Similarly, I won't obey him either. He should bear some responsibility for Loki's crimes, but we need to put that aside for now. Right now, we need to deal with the external enemy."
