Pepper had been waiting outside the interrogation room. When Kai came out, Pepper immediately went to greet him. →
Before she could speak, Kai said first, "Maybe he needs to be quiet. You can go in later."
After saying that, Kai stepped out of the way. Kai actually couldn't understand Tony's mood. In his previous life, due to some reasons, he was born late and had children late. By the time he returned to work after serving in the army, his parents had already reached old age and had died.
In fact, Kai has always believed that comforting people is a very hypocritical manifestation. The most hypocritical sentence is "I know how you feel" followed by a bunch of life philosophies, but is that true? No! Everyone’s life experience is different, and the people and things they encounter are different. How can it be possible to truly understand other people’s joys, sorrows, and joys?
Maybe when you are sad, others will say something to comfort you, but most of the time, it is just polite. People are always independent individuals, so Kai doesn't like the comfort of others. If he really encounters something sad, he prefers to be alone.
Of course, not everyone is like him.
…
When it was time to get off work in the evening, Teresa suddenly stopped Kai and asked him to come to her office. After get off work, there is no one around, and the female boss asks you to come to her office. Moreover, the female boss is pretty good-looking and has a great figure. Would you say no?
Of course not!
Just out of politeness.
But Teresa’s office is not as lonely as some people expect.
A familiar bald man was already waiting there.
"Agent Phil, you guys talk first, I have something to do." Teresa disappeared very consciously, leaving only a lonely man.
"Tsk... It seems that Tony's incident has something to do with your SHIELD." Those things were all nonsense. The moment Kai saw Phil, he understood that this guy was definitely targeting Tony. That's what happened.
Phil was stunned for a moment, not expecting the other party to be so keen. But when I think about it, it seems normal. Kai knows his identity, and he also knows that they will not appear in front of Kai for a trivial matter. Kai is just a policeman, even if he is very good as a policeman.
It's the same as that sentence
‘You will become the overlord among beggars’ ‘What is the overlord among beggars? ’ ‘Still a beggar. ’
So there are only a few reasons why a SHIELD agent should come to find Kai personally. One is that SHIELD discovered the true identities of Diana and Kathleen. But it shouldn't be the case. When the two of them were active, not to mention SHIELD, even the founder of SHIELD was still in a cellular state. They were only active for a short time, and no matter how powerful SHIELD was, it would be impossible to find them.
Second, it is to discover the truth that Kai is Hannibal.
That's even more impossible, because if that were the case, Phil wouldn't be here alone.
Then the only thing that can attract SHIELD is the murder of Tony's parents.
"It seems you know something?" Phil didn't say yes or no.
But his attitude revealed a lot.
"Is it really you?" Kai was a little surprised. He didn't remember that SHIELD was still doing this kind of thing.
Phil understood what Kai meant.
He smiled bitterly and said, "What are you thinking about? Howard Stark is one of the founders of SHIELD and one of the main reasons why SHIELD can develop to what it is today. How can we do such a thing."
Phil is absolutely right.
The creation of SHIELD was inseparable from three people, one of whom was Captain America.
SHIELD was originally created to follow the spirit of Captain America. The captain’s widow, Agent Carter, is the best embodiment of the captain’s spirit.
The second person is Agent Carter. In an era when women were generally discriminated against, this woman integrated and created the prototype of S.H.I.E.L.D. with abilities that surpassed those of most men. It can be said that the organizational structure of S.H.I.E.L.D. was completely based on This woman's handiwork.
The third person is Howard Stark.
SHIELD's technological advantages and operational funds come from this man. Without him, S.H.I.E.L.D. would never have been created.
So SHIELD couldn't kill him no matter what the reason was.
"But there are some secrets involved. It's very complicated. It's so complicated that I don't even know it. I can only tell you that our SHIELD doesn't have any ill intentions toward Tony or Howard. It's just that the things in it are too complicated. We don’t want the truth about this to come out.”
"So you covered up the truth?" Kai asked.
"Yes, that's right. But our..."
Kai interrupted immediately without waiting for him to explain: "This has nothing to do with me. I just accepted Tony's commission. I'm not interested in what is mixed with it."
Phil opened his mouth and found that he seemed to be superfluous.
"Are you curious why I'm not curious?"
This was a bit convoluted, but Phil still understood it.
He nodded.
"Because it's clear that there's something wrong with it! What's so complicated? To put it bluntly, things in the world can be so complicated, it's nothing more than that. Even if it's very complicated, is it difficult to tell Tony the truth? Don't tell me what's best for him. Tony was How old is he? Seventeen or eighteen? Are you still afraid that he will grow crooked and become a world-destroying demon? The only reason why you refuse to tell him is that it will cause harm to him. Your interests!”
Phil opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but found that this seemed to be the case. But they also have reasons why they have to do this. It's just hard to tell Kai.
"Since it's clear that there's something wrong with it, why should I get involved?"
After speaking, Kai planned to leave.
Recently, Kai has become increasingly dissatisfied with SHIELD as an institution.
This group of people keep saying that they are protecting world peace and protecting people from various strange events.
But there are at least thousands of people in Los Angeles who have been turned into blood bags by vampires. Don’t they know at all?
What's even more ridiculous is that they clearly knew about the existence of vampires, but they never did anything to them, and even watched these monsters thrive. What is this? Raped?
Anyway, SHIELD gave Kai a very bad feeling, at least they couldn't be a justice organization.
Seeing Kai about to leave, Phil immediately stood up and called Kai.
"etc!"
Kai turned his head and looked at him: "Do you want to know what I found?"
"That's right..."
"I can tell you that I don't know anything except that his parents were murdered. I have to say that what you did was really clean. At least I didn't find any flaws."
…
Is this really the case?
Of course not!
Kai discovered something interesting. It's just that he hasn't said it yet, or he's not sure yet.
But it doesn't matter, he is not alone, he has an all-powerful butler.
"Master, according to your instructions, Wayne Group has begun arranging the reconstruction and aftermath of the cutting-edge laboratory." When Kai returned home, Ah Fu was waiting at home. He even found time to make Kay a side of General Tso's Chicken in the kitchen.
He remembered that Kai loved Chinese food.
But... General Tso's chicken... what the hell is that?
Anyway, Kai refused to admit that it was Chinese food, sweet and sour fried chicken. (This dish has nothing to do with General Zuo)
"Yeah." Kai hummed casually, and then took out Tony's smart watch. "I remember Kingsman has a scientific and technological research institute, right?"
"Of course! We are the best. In every aspect!" Ah Fu was very proud of this. He even compared SHIELD: "Although our research funds are not as large as SHIELD, our scientific research strength is definitely stronger than theirs. SHIELD's science department has an allocation of more than 8 billion every year, but they still If they are resting on their laurels, I suspect that all the 8 billion in funding has been eaten up by their scientific researchers.”
SHIELD's science department is a joke.
Anyway, Kingsman’s internal evaluation of their science department is not high.
The most typical example is the aerospace carrier. Is adding propellers to an aircraft carrier considered a technological breakthrough?
Even in Kingsman's internal evaluation, this thing has no practical significance at all. With such a big target, the enemy would only allow such a large aircraft carrier to float to their own country unless they are completely blind. And it only takes a wave of missiles to shoot him down. Their anti-aircraft firepower is simply terrible, after all, the layout is there.
Perhaps its biggest function is to hit the earth from the sky, simulating a comet hitting the earth.
In response to Ah Fu's boasting, Kai just smiled and said nothing. After all, he was British. The British still think that they are a world power and an important ally of the United States, but in fact... the Americans only regard him as their little brother.
"Take this, I need to highly sharpen your video files, especially this clip. I hope Kingsman can help me restore the image above."
Kai opened his watch and a screen popped up.
The picture is of a corner mirror at an intersection, with a face reflected on the convex mirror. The picture is only a short frame, and the picture quality is blurry, making it difficult to see anything clearly. If you don't look carefully, you won't even notice a human face on it.
Ah Fu held the watch and didn't ask Kai why he did this. Because it's not necessary.
It was another thing that gave Ah Fu some ideas.
"This watch..."
"Tony Stark's stuff. It is said that there is only one piece like this at the moment."
"Then can I let Merlin study this thing?"
Merlin is an internal code name for Kingsman. It is different from the Kingsman agents who are codenamed by the Knights of the Round Table. Merlin is Kingsman's supervisor in charge of logistics and technological research and development, and is also responsible for maintaining the Holy Grail.
As for why a character so important in folklore and the Arthurian myth became a minor character in Kingsman.
That also comes down to Kai.
Back then, when he was telling Afoko the true story of King Arthur's legend, Kai accidentally revealed Merlin's background. Anyway, in Kai's view, Merlin was just a troubled young man, not very proficient in magic, but good at causing trouble.
This has also led to Kingsman not paying much attention to the codename 'Merlin' internally.
"I think our Kingsman agents need to update their watches." For plagiarizing Tony's intellectual property rights, Afu didn't feel the slightest guilt.
"No problem, help me modify this thing by the way. It looks so naughty."
Kay didn't like Tony's ostentatious aesthetic.
"clear!"
"By the way, has Kelly told you?"
"Yes, I have informed Merlin about Miss Kelly's combat uniforms. I believe there will be results soon." Ah Fu didn't say anything, that is, Kelly and the others not only made a lot of requests, but also made them by the way. Another combat uniform.
"That's fine."
…
Meanwhile in Greenland's permanent glaciers.
This is a forbidden zone for life. Even Arctic foxes and polar bears will not come here. But now, it is very lively here. Countless planes have completely blocked this piece of ice field, and all kinds of tents are everywhere on the glacier.
Some excavators are performing dangerous operations on a glacier.
In addition to the severe cold, the most dangerous environment on the glacier is the elusive cracks. As the glacier moves, the cracks in the glacier are always moving. The glacier that may be solid today will form a hole the next day.
In short, excavating in this situation is completely seeking death.
But everyone here turned a blind eye. Instead, many people looked at the operation of the excavation equipment with excitement.
"Found it!!!"
Suddenly there was a shout from the excavation equipment.
Immediately, many people who were wrapped more like dumplings rushed out of the tent and ran to the center of the excavation site.
Among them was Nick Fury, the current director of S.H.I.E.L.D., who had been elusive.
Soon Nick Fury arrived at the scene.
A group of technical personnel in snow protective clothing were lowered by a crane under the big hole they dug.
Under the excavated glacier, there is a triangular aircraft, which is very large. It is all black, and one of its wings is completely broken. Its nose is deeply embedded in the glacier. But strangely, the cockpit of this peculiar aircraft constantly emits a faint blue light.
Seeing that faint blue, Nick Fury's eternal black face showed a hint of surprise and desire.
But the next moment, he didn't expect to encounter a bigger surprise!
"We found the captain!!!"
Everyone seemed to be still at that moment, but the next second everyone started cheering.
"Check the captain immediately!"
Nick Fury also showed an ugly smile.
"The results of Captain America's Steve Rogers' physical examination showed that his blood, although thickened, was not frozen. Blood tests showed that because his liver processes glycogen storage, there is a lot of glucose in the blood, which reduces the freezing temperature of the blood and eventually creates a "cryoprotectant". This process is similar to hibernation in some animals, which metabolize glycogen in the liver and circulate a large amount of glycogen in the body to reduce the osmotic contraction of cells and stop freezing. However, this has never been seen in humans."
In fact, it is because Captain America's body contains a lot of glucose, which can act as an antifreeze, so the blood is not completely frozen.
"You just need to tell me whether the captain is dead or alive!" Nick Fury didn't want to listen to his subordinates' popular science at all now, he just needed an answer.
"Yes, the captain is still alive!"
Nick laughed.
"But if we don't do it properly, he will die at any time!" As a result, his subordinates began to pour cold water again. This guy's road is narrow.
"Then what do we need to do?"
"We need to bring Captain back to the United States, conduct a comprehensive inspection and evaluation, and then come up with the most reasonable thawing method. Otherwise, I think it is safer for Captain to stay in the ice." The scientific and technological personnel are particularly straightforward, which makes Nick Fury a little unhappy.
"Is it true that as long as we find a way to thaw him, Captain will come back."
"In theory."
"In theory?"
"That's right, because before, no frozen human has ever been alive after thawing. Captain is a special case, and I can't guarantee the success rate."
