"Hehehehehahaha."
"You still think your S.H.I.E.L.D. is so great, huh? I'll just wait and see how your organization gets completely wiped out by your undercover agents."
Gin took a sip of his drink and said happily, "Purgeing out undercover agents has already annoyed me a lot, so I'm naturally very happy to see that even the organization that destroyed him, S.H.I.E.L.D., has quite a few undercover agents. I wish that all but a few people in S.H.I.E.L.D. were undercover agents."
--------
"Oh, King, you've finally figured it out! You've discovered there's a mole in S.H.I.E.L.D."
Saitama looked at King on the screen and said, "If you hadn't seen what happened before, you might have thought that Director King was just making excuses to cover up his mistakes. But if you had seen what happened before, you would know that everyone in this mission except for Captain Rogers, Black Widow Vermouth, and Vermouth's apprentice Gylvia was a member of Hydra. Moreover, there are Hydra members even in S.H.I.E.L.D.."
So from an outsider's perspective, King's actions weren't actually that bad, and were even quite good. The only concern was that Koichi Fujito, the sixth brother, might use his high position to obtain the information backed up by Black Widow Vermouth.
"You don't understand me."
King wasn't bothered by Captain Rogers' sarcastic remark.
"I will share, because I'm a really good person."
[Then Captain Rogers followed King into an elevator he had never been to before.]
[In the Insight Project at Shipyard, Rogers noticed a sign like this inside the elevator.]
"Captain Rogers does not have access to Project Insight."
[After Captain Rogers entered the elevator, the elevator's recognition system issued a warning.]
"Authorization exceeding the proper authority, Chief King, confirmed."
The elevator alarm stopped after King was detected.
[King and Rogers leaned against the glass wall of the elevator. Perhaps sensing the strange silence in the elevator, Captain Rogers spoke first.]
"The elevators used to play music."
"Yes, my grandfather used to be an elevator operator. The building he worked in was pretty good, and he earned quite a bit of tips. Every time he came home, I would see a lot of loose change in his bag, including some large denomination bills."
"He used to greet people, and they would respond. But then things gradually changed. People stopped greeting him as often, and he started keeping a closer eye on his bag."
Captain Rogers nodded in agreement with King's words.
"Was your grandfather ever robbed?"
"Just rob him. There will always be thugs and gangsters causing him trouble."
"So what did your grandfather do?"
King paused briefly before turning to look at Rogers and speaking.
"Of course I showed it to them. There was a lot of loose change and a loaded handgun inside."
Rogers also realized that King was subtly educating him.
"My grandfather likes other people, but he doesn't really trust them."
Meanwhile, the elevator had descended deep underground, and Rogers could see what the underground of S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters looked like.
The underground space beneath S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters is even larger than the surface area. Various lights illuminate the area, eliminating any sense of darkness typical of underground environments. What attracted Captain Rogers most were the massive, fully-fledged warships and aircraft carriers. Rogers also spotted many of the aircraft they had flown during their fight against the Chitauri, which appeared to be far more advanced.
[And the aircraft carrier also had a large number of these aircraft parked on it; Rogers knew exactly how powerful this aircraft was.]
326: Yuu Otosaka: This thing feels like it's designed specifically for mutants.
[Captain Rogers, looking out from the elevator at the spectacular sight outside, saw an aircraft carrier deck almost entirely filled with this model of plane. Rogers had no idea what S.H.I.E.L.D. was planning.]
[Furthermore, did S.H.I.E.L.D. produce so many weapons in such a short period of time, even before the Chitauri invasion of Earth? If they were indeed produced before the Chitauri invasion, why didn't King deploy them? Deploying these weapons would have reduced losses and might even have prevented Zhuge Cong from risking his life to withstand a nuclear attack.]
"This is Project Insight."
After King led Rogers off the elevator, he began introducing the surroundings to Captain Rogers as they walked. Rogers carefully observed everything around him. As for his earlier doubts, Captain Rogers wasn't one to ignore the situation, and he planned to question King about it later when they got back.
"A helicopter carrier three generations ahead of its time is connected to a positioning satellite."
"The satellites launched by Lemuria will never need to land again once they're up in space; the new engines will allow them to continue suborbital flight."
"Was this designed by Zhuge Cong?"
[Captain Rogers inquired, noting that among the people Rogers knew, only Zhuge Cong possessed such intelligence and talent.]
"Zhuge Cong looked at the old turbocharged engine and then gave us some suggestions."
"Did you see these?"
King led Rogers to the bottom of the aircraft carrier and pointed to the massive cannons on it, saying...
"These long-range precision-targeting weapons have enough firepower per minute to easily eliminate a thousand enemies. Terrorists don't even need to show their faces; satellites can read the target's DNA, allowing for real-time precision strikes."
“Locate the DNA”.
"I guess this thing is also used to deal with those unruly mutants."
After hearing King mention the DNA location, Light Yagami gave a meaningful smile and said that the specific manifestation of mutants is their mutant abilities, and the origin of mutant abilities is mutant genes. Therefore, in Light Yagami's mind, this weapon is more inclined to be used by S.H.I.E.L.D. to deal with mutants, as well as targets whose genes are obvious after physical mutation, such as the Hulk Senku Ishigami, Spider-Man Shinnosuke Nohara, and Dr. Lizard Kohei Imamura.
Of course, this same thing is also quite useful in dealing with alien invasions, since aliens' DNA is different from humans', making them easy to identify.
"We can nip many threats in the bud."
"I feel like we're the kind of threat that Nick Fury, Director King, is talking about."
Yuu Otosaka looked at King on the screen and said, "After all, judging from my performance on the screen, I am definitely a high-threat figure, not to mention my previous extreme attempt to change the world's population. Moreover, the Brotherhood under my command is positioned as villains and anti-human beings, which is undoubtedly the threat that King mentioned. In addition, this weapon can lock DNA, which is simply designed to deal with mutants."
"Shouldn't it be those who do bad things who should be punished?"
Rogers spoke to King, who responded with a calm rebuttal.
"We can't wait until others do bad things before we stop them."
"Who are we?"
"After the Chitauri invasion, I convinced the World Security Council that we needed quantum-level sophisticated threat analysis, and this time we're far ahead of the curve."
"Pointing a gun at everyone, is that what you call protection?"
Rogers was unhappy with King's idea, feeling that this approach was akin to falsely accusing someone and then directly punishing them.
"I've read the Strategic Scientific Corps' documents. Even the greatest generation, you've done some shady things."
"Yes, we compromised."

"Sometimes I can't sleep because of this, but what were we doing it for back then, and what are you doing it for now? What I see now isn't for the good of the people, but a threat and fear towards them."
[When Rogers heard King recount events from his era, including the fact that the super-soldier serum he possessed was, to some extent, one of those factors, King listened to Rogers' rebuttal with his hands in his pockets. He would have found it strange if Rogers hadn't countered.]
"S.H.I.E.L.D. has accepted the world as it is, instead of changing it according to their own wishes. Isn't it a bit too late for you to start this plan now, Captain?"
"So don't get your hopes up too high."
After speaking, Rogers turned and left, taking the elevator and then riding his motorcycle away from S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters. Although King and his team had awakened him from his slumber within the ice seal, it didn't mean he would unconditionally support any orders from King or S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Although Captain Rogers' awakening from his long slumber may seem like a lucky thing to others, it may not be so good for Captain Rogers himself. He does not belong to this era and there are many things he is unfamiliar with. His acquaintances are no longer around or are all elderly people. He does not like the organization he belongs to, and sometimes the missions make him feel annoyed."
"Sometimes my boss does things and says things that make me feel annoyed."
"Captain Rogers must have a natural sense of disconnect from this era and a lack of belonging."
As Fumino Furuhashi watched Captain Rogers ride away from S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters on his motorcycle, a hint of frustration and displeasure on his face, she thought, "If I could put myself in Captain Rogers' shoes and let him feel what he's going through."
Awakening after decades of slumber, she finds that the era no longer belongs to her, and everything has changed beyond recognition. Just thinking about Fumino Furuhashi is unbearable; it's too painful.
Captain Rogers arrived at the museum on his motorcycle, a war museum displaying old weapons and the life stories of heroes, with Captain Rogers himself being the most prominent figure among them.
[With Captain Rogers' grand entrance during the fight against the Chitauri, these war museums prominently displayed his posters and icons.]
"Welcome back, Captain."
[Captain Rogers saw this animated poster as soon as he entered the war museum.]
327: Light Yagami: It's strange why there isn't one.
"A legend of our time, a hero of the world."
"Captain Rogers' story is a story of honor, courage, and sacrifice."
Rogers, wearing a baseball cap and keeping his head down to avoid being seen, was mingling in the crowd listening to the guide's explanation of his story. He found this somewhat surprising, like someone attending his own funeral.
Captain Rogers suddenly noticed a little boy wearing a T-shirt with his shield printed on it. Seeing the boy staring blankly at him, Rogers smiled, put a finger to his lips, and shushed the boy. The boy nodded blankly, also staring at Captain Rogers. This encounter with Captain Rogers would likely leave the little boy incredibly excited when he got home.
"The precious footage you are seeing before you is a record of your beloved hero, Captain Rogers, during the war."
"Having been tempered by war, Captain Rogers and his teammates, the Howling Commandos, rose through the ranks."
"So, what kind of disgusting idea did Koichi Fujito have to create the Howling Assault Team?"
When Miyamoto Rei looked at the poster of Captain Rogers and his Howling Commando on the light screen, she also thought of the Howling Commando created by Fujito Koichi. As someone who had been disgusted by Fujito Koichi, Miyamoto Rei had no good feelings towards him at all. Fortunately, that scumbag Fujito Koichi was no longer disgusting her at school.
Rei Miyamoto also felt that Koichi Fujito's creation of the Howling Assault Team was just a fantasy of rising to a high position. In Rei Miyamoto's opinion, Koichi Fujito was simply indulging in wishful thinking.
"As Captain Rogers' childhood best friend, Bucky Barnes and Steve Rogers were inseparable, both in school and on the battlefield."
"Barnes was the only hero to fall in the Howling Commandos."
