At that moment, Captain Rogers and his team heard a man running and shouting behind them. Captain Rogers guessed that the man was probably the doctor from the secret base.

"She'll want to see him first."

[Dusk spoke.]

[Back in the car, Agent Twilight had already told Captain Rogers and his three companions that Chief King wasn't actually dead. He had faked his death in the hospital, but he hadn't told anyone, not even his personal agents, Agent Twilight and Agent Joel.]

That's why Agents Twilight and Joel reacted so strongly when they learned about Director King; it wasn't an act at all.

When Captain Rogers and Black Widow Vermouth learned that Director King was alive, they were somewhat incredulous, especially Black Widow Vermouth, who initially doubted whether she had misheard when Agent Twilight told her that Director King was still alive.

[The Twilight Agent led Captain Rogers and his three companions to a room, opened the door, and lifted the curtain. Black Widow, Vermouth, and the others could see through the glass that Commissioner King was resting in a hospital bed on the other side.]

"They've finally arrived."

[Chief King, noticing the commotion, opened his eyes and looked at Captain Rogers and the others, his breathing somewhat weak.]

"I knew it. How could you, as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., just disappear so easily?"

Saitama looked at King, who had reappeared on the screen, and said that every time he played a fighting game with King, he would be brutally defeated by King, and he would curse King in his heart, saying, "Why doesn't this old fighting bastard who bullies newbies just die?"

However, Saitama only thought about it; he would never actually think about killing King. He was in a Schrödinger's cat-like state of death.

Just like when people insult each other online, they often exchange insults about each other's family members. However, the family members being insulted are actually in a Schrödinger's cat state: they exist when the insults are being exchanged, but they don't exist when the insults stop.

King looked at the light screen where he had been "resurrected" and was thinking that he hadn't expected himself to be such a cunning person. After all, if the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. were to just die so easily, it would make him look bad, and all the prestige he had built up as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. would be gone.

"I have a question: were the doctors in the operating room at the time Mr. King's men?"

"Or is it that Mr. King actually had some kind of drug or equipment that could temporarily put himself into a state of suspended animation, since Mr. King showed no vital signs on the equipment in the operating room at the time."

"That's what Genos said from the side."

"It should be the latter; the former is unlikely."

Saitama stroked his chin and said, "Speaking of which, I feel like I'm losing a lot of hair lately. This reminds me of when I was predicted by Bleach Sato Kazuma to become the Cosmic Super Ryuko, I was already bald. Does that mean I'm undergoing a transformation?"

However, Saitama was also a little reluctant to part with his thick, beautiful hair.

"Are you alright?"

Captain Rogers looked at the weakened King lying on the hospital bed and asked, "Thank goodness he didn't die."

"Spinal cord injury, fractured sternum."

"Clavicle shattered, liver perforated."

"And on top of that, this awful headache."

[In the hospital room, King told Captain Rogers and the others about his symptoms, asking Captain Rogers if he was alright. Hearing King's words, Vermouth, the Black Widow who was tending to her gunshot wound, suddenly felt that her injury wasn't so serious.]

"There's also lung atrophy."

The doctor who treated Vermouth's gunshot wound noticed that Chief King had overlooked a thoughtful addition.

[King: There's really no need for such a thoughtful addition.]

"Yes, that's important, but everything else is great."

After King finished speaking about Captain Rogers, he realized he had asked a somewhat awkward question.

"But they performed open surgery on you, and your heart stopped beating."

[Black Widow Vermouth looked at King and said, "I clearly saw King die back then, so why is it like this now?"]

"Have you heard of tetrodotoxin B? It can lower your pulse to below one minute."

"This was invented by Senku Ishigami to control pressure."

"Of course, Senku Ishigami later discovered that this thing was as useless to him as Wahaha (a popular Chinese beverage), but we discovered a new use for it."

[Captain Rogers, standing to the side, said with a puzzled expression.]

"Why keep it a secret? Why won't you tell us?"

Captain Rogers felt he could easily tell them, especially since he and Black Widow Vermouth almost had a falling out when Cheng Dang learned of King's death.

374: Memories of Bucky the Winter Soldier

"Chief King's decision not to tell you isn't because he doesn't trust you."

"It was to make those who intended to assassinate Chief King believe that the assassination attempt on Chief King had succeeded."

[The Twilight Agent spoke up from the side.]

"so hot!"

"This man is so handsome and attractive no matter how you look at him, and he looks even more mature and charming in the future."

"Oh, my heart!"

Becky Blackbell's eyes nearly turned into dangerous hearts as she looked at the Twilight Agent on the screen.

Anya Fogg, who overheard Becky Blackbell's inner monologue, had a look of utter disbelief on her face.

Although Anya Fogg had known for a long time that her best friend wanted to be her father, Anya Fogg was still completely bewildered and resistant every time she heard it.

After seeing the light screen, Anya Fogg also classified herself as a mutant. Moreover, Anya Fogg even wondered if Professor X, Hayato Otosaka, might be her long-lost brother, since the two had such similar mutant abilities.

"A dead person cannot die again."

[King, lying on the hospital bed, said this, though he only meant to fool Captain Rogers and the others. After all, who said the dead can only die once? They can just be resurrected and killed again. He specifically mentioned a certain resurrected Western agent.]

"Besides, I don't know who else I can trust."

Meanwhile, at a secret base, Bucky Barnes, the Winter Soldier, was also maintaining his metal arm. After each mission, a comprehensive check-up was required.

Meanwhile, the Hydra member performing maintenance on Bucky's metal arm failed to notice the difference in Bucky's expression compared to when he usually finished a mission. In a sense, the maintenance worker had neglected his duty.

At this moment, Bucky, the Winter Soldier, is truly brainstorming after seeing Captain Rogers.

"Sergeant Barnes."

Bucky's mind suddenly flashed back to Arnin Zola when he was still human, followed by a train speeding across a high bridge in the snow-covered landscape, and someone who seemed very important to him.

"Bucky, no!"

The guy on the train yelled at me, and I fell off the train.

"The modification process has begun."

"You will become Hydra's new weapon."

[Then came a voice, and Bucky felt himself being dragged along the ground, his blood trailing behind him. Images of experimental modifications flashed through Bucky's mind.]

"Freeze him."

[Then, after the experiment ended, Bucky killed both experimenters.]

[Arnin Zola injected a sedative into Bucky, then gave instructions to those around him.]

The sudden mental jolt caused Bucky to erupt in anger, punching the guy who was maintaining his metal arm and sending him flying. Hearing the commotion, the guards immediately pointed their guns at Bucky. It's clear that Hydra never trusted Bucky.

[And Bucky's unusual behavior naturally reached Hikaru Shinomiya.]

"Hey."

Shinomiya Yan'an looked at his eldest son, Shinomiya Huangguang, appearing on the screen and sighed helplessly.

The Shinomiya family can be said to have three sons, none of whom are good people. The eldest son, Shinomiya Hikari, is a member of the Hydra organization and is plotting to rule the world.

Although the second son has not officially appeared yet, judging from the previous revelations by Deadpool's Kazuma Sato, it can be inferred that his second son, Shinomiya Soryu, is the main villain in "Venom: Let There Be Carnage".

The third son, Shinomiya Un'yō, is a villain in "Iron Man 2" and has been sent to prison by Zhuge Cong. Shinomiya Yan'an doesn't care what happens to him afterward, and besides, the Shinomiya family will cease to exist in the future.

Now, all Shinomiya Kanan can do is hope that nothing bad happens to his eldest daughter, Shinomiya Kaguya.

"Sir, Winter Soldier... Winter Soldier's condition is unstable; he's very emotionally unstable."

[Several guards opened the door and spoke as they did so, while Shinomiya Hikaru, accompanied by Crossbones Sugo Nobuyuki, entered the room where Bucky Barnes was maintaining his metal arm. Inside, Bucky was being held at gunpoint by dozens of guns; if anything happened to him, he would face the same fate Captain Rogers faced.]

As soon as Shinomiya Kōmitsu entered, he took off his glasses, spread his hands, and the men put down their guns, awaiting his orders.

"Mission report."

[Shinomiya Hikari spoke to Bucky Barnes, his tone as if issuing a pre-written program to a computer, but the command, which usually worked perfectly, was now behaving erratically.]

Bucky, the Winter Soldier, sat there in a daze, seemingly oblivious to Shinomiya's words. Clearly, seeing Captain Rogers had also greatly impacted him.

"Begin the mission report."

Seeing that Bucky, the Winter Soldier, showed no reaction whatsoever, Shinomiya Hikaru's tone turned icy cold.

But Bucky, the Winter Soldier, still had that blank, dazed look on his face.

[Shinomiya Hikaru walked up to Bucky Barnes, bent down to look at him, and then suddenly slapped him across the face.]

"Snap."

The sound of the slap was exceptionally loud. Bucky, the Winter Soldier, seemed to be jolted awake from his mental trance by the slap from Shinomiya Hikaru. He frowned slightly and spoke.

"Who was that person on the bridge at the time?"

[The image of that person calling him "Buggy" flashed through Bucky's mind. As for Shinji Matou, the Falcon, who kicked him afterward, sorry, Bucky didn't care.]

[Meanwhile, Shinomiya Hikaru inwardly sneered upon hearing Bucky's question.]
