CHAPTER 227 NICK’S CONFESSION (1/2)
Despite Lin Rui’s advance warning of the Hydra organization and Fury’s full fight plans, SHIELD has been dealt a heavy blow and its existence has also been exposed to the outside world. It took SHIELD and the World Security Directors a while to get the situation under their control, and now, more than a week later, Fury can finally relax a bit.
At this time, in the Director’s office at SHIELD’s headquarters, Fury was seriously watching a video on the computer screen in front of him. The video footage was shaking, but the picture displayed was very clear. There are two people in the picture, standing in the corner is the Winter Soldier in a black jacket and a mask, and the person standing in front of the Winter Soldier is Mirage Knight. Fury was watching a surveillance video of the battle between Lin Rui and Bucky that happened more than a week ago and he couldn’t understand what he had found.
Da Da ~
While Fury was watching the surveillance video intently, Captain Rogers came over from behind him. Fury apparently knows that he was behind him and said hello without turning his head. “Come and see, it seems that our mysterious Mirage Knight was hiding something from us.”
“Isn’t that normal? There are so many things you haven’t told me either.” Coming up behind Fury, Steve said in a subtle response as he knew that Fury keeps everything close to himself. But Fury can’t help it, he is the Director of SHIELD and the fewer people know about some things that he had seen, the better.
Hearing Steve’s calm tone, Fury’s heart jumped. Fury does have many things to hide from Rogers, but those are not important and Rogers will say something if he minds it. However, regarding the Winter Soldier in the surveillance video, Fury does not know if Captain Rogers has seen it before.
Fury actually knew about Winter Soldier, which Hydra had kept for 60 years from SHIELD’s internal data that was decrypted. So, in addition to Lin Rui knowing that the Winter Soldier in the surveillance video is Bucky, Fury has already guessed who he is. Fury asked Steve to watch this surveillance video together with him this time to make him prepare mentally, after all, Bucky is Steve’s best friend. If Steve finds out later in the battle, it may cause unnecessary accidental losses.
“So, I want to tell you one thing today. But, first of all, don’t get too excited or angry when you see what’s coming next.” Steve looked at him carefully as Fury continued.
“Hmm? What’s the matter?” Steve asked in surprise as he heard Fury’s words. Hydra has been exposed, what else was Fury hiding?
“See it for yourself.” As Fury reached for the screen in front of him, he stepped aside.
Captain Rogers followed Fury’s hand and looked at the screen. There was a picture of Mirage Knight and Winter Soldier facing each other more than a week ago. In Steve’s sight, the injured Hydra soldier was repelled by Mirage Knight, but Mirage Knight did not continue the attack him and stood still. Steve’s judgment about what Mirage Knight should be talking to the soldier was something that puzzled him.
From the perspective of this monitor, only Mirage Knight’s back can be photographed and the camera is just facing Winter Soldier’s front area. Just when Captain Rogers wondered what Mirage Knight was talking to this Hydra soldier, Winter Soldier’s face who had already risen up from the ground appeared on the monitor, this time there was no mask. So, when Steve saw Bucky’s familiar face, he felt as if he got hit by a train. He stared at the person in the surveillance video while his heart was beating rapidly and the memories of his best friend quickly surged up.
“Bucky?!” Steve’s voice trembled as he stared at Bucky in the video.
Noting the reaction from Captain Rogers next to him, Fury didn’t bother him at this time and he let Steve calm himself down first.
After seeing Bucky’s face, Steve stared at the surveillance video more carefully. He reached out and clicked on the screen a few times to zoom in on the screen.
In the surveillance video, Mirage Knight appears to want to speak to Bucky, but Bucky does not answer and plans to continue attacking Mirage Knight. But just as he was about to attack, he stopped. In the video, Steve notices that Mirage Knight seems to have shouted something him as he can see the back of his body shaking.
After Mirage Knight shouted something, Bucky’s mood seemed to change. He held his head in his hands and began to talk nonsense. Then he calmed down. The surveillance video is in high-definition, and Fury has already had some analytics read Bucky’s lips and that words had already put on screen as subtitles.
