Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 594

Merlin is a wizard. He has dabbled in a lot of magic knowledge. He knows that in some ancient magic traditions, there are some mysterious theories that dreamland is also a world.

Just like certain theories of occult magic that Miss Zatanna learned.

They believe that dreams are a buffer between the present world and the mysterious world, supported by every consciousness that exists in the present world, like an unobservable, grotesque but real existence supported by countless pillars world.

Dreamland is the place where spirit and life meet. It has its own laws just like the present world. Although it is difficult to understand, dreams are like living things, rolling and growing in an unimaginable and indescribable environment.

It is a phantom entrusted to the present world, and it is a field that every life can explore freely.

Of course, Merlin is a practical wizard, and he doesn't believe in such groundless claims, but he also admits that dreams are indeed not as simple as ordinary people think.

A soul deeply immersed in a dream is difficult to wake up, just like the soul in front of him.

Steve Rogers, a hero of the last era, a symbol of hope and courage in the hearts of the people, a soul lingering in the phantom of the past, a soul unwilling to wake up.

"I remember that I entered his spiritual world more than a year ago."

Merlin stood in the monitoring room, looked at the picture in front of him, and said:

"According to your idea, I tried to wake him up, but the flow of time in the dream world and the real world is different, I thought he would wake up earlier."

"Actually, it's not too late."

With his hands behind his back, Fury said to Merlin:

"After he wakes up, he has enough time to get familiar with this world that has become unfamiliar to him. If the captain is still willing to fight and become the enemy of Hydra, then maybe he can catch up with the next fighting."

"Oh?"

Merlin savored the meaning of Fury's words, and he said to Chief Braised Egg:

"You mean, your tracking of those traditional Hydras has already begun?"

"Ah."

Fury nodded, he seemed unwilling to say too much in this place, he briefly said to Merlin:

"Some clues have been found."

"That would be great."

Merlin moved his fingers and said softly:

"It's been a long time since we 'communicated' with those old friends, and I'm really looking forward to it."

"They're not the most important."

Fury said:

"They are just a transition. Maybe we can find some information from them about our real 'adversary', those poisonous snakes hidden under the deep water. They are the most important."

"Yes."

Merlin nodded:

"It's really hard to feel at ease without chopping off the last heads of these snakes. Thinking of our shadows mixed with other things, thinking of those eyes watching our every move in the dark, tsk tsk... .It really makes people feel uncomfortable all over."

"We'll find them."

Fury narrowed his eyes, and he said something firmly, Merlin also nodded in cooperation, and he said:

"Yes, we'll kill them."

These two guys are like playing a double reed, you say a word, and Agent Hill in the control room is a little confused.

despite years of work.Agent Hill has been identified as a completely trustworthy "person of his own", but Agent Hill has not been too involved in matters related to Hydra within SHIELD.

After all, she is just an ordinary person, and knowing too much is not a good thing for her.

This wasn't a deliberate concealment, but just a kind of careful care and protection for Hill by Fury and Merlin.

"He's awake!"

After a while, Agent Hill pointed to the monitor and said to Fury and Merlin:

"Look, he opened his eyes."

"Oh, that's nice."

Fury said playfully:

"The next step is the second stage... Next, just look at my Steve, how long it will take to get out of the 'maze' we set up for him."

"Your maze sucks."

Merlin snorted disdainfully. He took out a piece of money from his pocket, put it on the table, and said to Fury:

"I guess our Captain America can find the breaking point in 10 minutes."

"Hehe, you underestimate me, Merlin."

Fury also took out a banknote from his pocket and pressed it on Merlin's banknote. He said confidently:

"Everything in that house was built to 1944 specifications, and Agent Dugan arranged it himself, plus Steve's just awakened memory fault, I bet he needs at least 30 minutes to realize that something is wrong, Even an hour!"

"Then I'll come too."

Agent Hill leaned back on the chair, seeing the two officers having so much fun, she also took out a banknote from her wallet and put it on the table. She looked at the monitor and said:

"I think the captain only needs 5 minutes to see through this puzzle."

Agent Hill said:

"When I was a child, I grew up watching the cartoons of Captain Hero stories. I would like to believe in the superheroes in my childhood..."

"Ok."

Merlin took out the golden pocket watch and put it in his hand. He glanced at Ferry and Hill, and then at Steve Rogers who sat up from the bed with a dazed face on the monitor in front of him. He said:

"Then, let's start the timer."

------------

In the lower ward of Pegasus Base, Steve Rogers slowly opened his eyes after taking a long breath.

He saw the white, simple ceiling, and the army green electric fan that was slowly rotating on the ceiling. On the window above his head, the white window screen was blown by the wind outside the window. The sound of a car came.

Steve sat up from the bed, he flexed his shoulders, and a familiar force moved through his body. It was the power from the super soldier serum. After injecting the serum made by Dr. Erskine a few years ago, he From a skinny kid from Brooklyn to a real muscle man, a best soldier, a true hero.

He turned his head and glanced at the calendar beside the table, um, it was the style he remembered, on the hanging picture of the calendar, there was a poster of War Victory Day.

Today...is June 1945, 6.

The nacui surrendered, Hitler died, the war was over, they won.

A smile appeared on Steve's face, and he looked around. This is his house in Brooklyn, with familiar cabinets, familiar desks, and the airplane model that he assembled himself.

Those books that I like to read are still placed on the bookshelf as I remember.

There is nothing precious in this house, but after a long coma, seeing these familiar objects always makes people feel relaxed.

His memory still stays at the moment when he drove an out-of-control spaceship and crashed into a snow-white arctic glacier. Now it seems that they found him and brought him back to his hometown.

And at this moment, an irresistible impulse burst out from Steve's heart.

Bird Watching Club, Saturday night at [-]pm, see you there...

Yes.

He, he still owed Peggy a dance.

Peggy was still waiting for him.

Thinking of this, Steve stood up abruptly and was about to walk out of the ward.

But the next moment, his eyes fell on the noisy radio at hand, it seemed to be a live broadcast of a baseball game, it seemed to be a Dodgers game, and the game seemed to be very anxious.

Steve listened for a few seconds, his expression changed, and there was a hint of sadness and anger in his eyes.

"boom"

The door of the ward was pushed open, and a young nurse in a white dress and a nurse cap walked into the ward with a tray and some medicines. When she saw Steve, she was very surprised. She said:

"Ah, Captain, are you awake?"

"Well, I'm awake."

Steve looked away from the radio, and he glanced back at the open window, and outside the window was the view of New York from his memory, so vivid, it was almost the same as the scene in his memory.

"Sit down, captain, I want to inform Ms. Peggy and Mr. Howard, they will be very happy."

The little nurse seemed to be one of Captain America's fans in China. She was very excited and turned around to leave.But it was stopped by Steve.

"Hi, little girl."

Steve said:

"What time is it now?"

"Now?"

The little nurse glanced at the clock hanging on the wall in a daze, and said:

"It's 17:[-] p.m., Mr. Steve."

"No no no."

Steve rubbed his forehead with his hand and said:

"I mean, what year is it now?"

"The year 1945."

The little nurse said to Steve Rogers as a matter of course:

"Last month, we won the war, and everyone said it was because of your noble risk, the last counterattack that destroyed the nacui, and you..."

"No, not me."

Steve interrupted the little nurse, pointing to the TV in front of him, he said:

"The Dodgers game... what a shame, the game... I was there, watching it with Bucky. It was May 1941, if I remember correctly."

The little nurse's expression changed, and she took a few steps back, as if she was going to call someone.But the next moment, Steve stood up quickly, dragged the little nurse behind him, and then turned and closed the door.

"boom"

The door closed behind him, and in front of him was a metal passage leading to the front. The silver-gray metal looked full of technology, and there was no one in the long tunnel in front of him.

"Snapped"

The captain knew he had been fooled.

This made him feel angry, he clenched his fists tightly, and amidst the sound of intertwined bones, he strode forward with a sullen face, just like he did on the battlefield.

He didn't know who directed all of this, but he swore to punch that bastard twice in the face.

---------------

"Tsk tsk, 3 minutes and 27 seconds."

Merlin looked at the pocket watch in his hand. He looked at the gloomy Fury beside him with a teasing face. He reached out and picked up the three banknotes, put them in Hill's hand, and said to Fury:

"Falling short of success, Fury, it seems that you are really old. I don't think you would make such detailed mistakes when you were young."

"To shut up."

Fury was in a bad mood. He watched the scene in front of him on the monitor, where Steve Rogers rushed out of the room and was punching the agents who were trying to appease him in the passage.

Steve is worthy of being the first super soldier in history, and even the most elite guards of the Pegasus base are vulnerable to his fists.

"Go stop him and let him let go of those innocent agents."

Fury said to Merlin:

"Keep him quiet and we'll have a good talk."

"Let me explain first."

Merlin walked out of the monitoring room and said to Fury:

"I'm only responsible for stopping Steve, if he insists on hitting you, then I don't care."

Fury remained silent with a gloomy face. When Merlin walked out of the room, Fury said again:

"Take it easy!"

Merlin shook his head, he just smiled and didn't speak.

Honestly, it's not often that Fury messes up a thing, which is actually kind of fun.

But this scene is not Fury's bad taste. The reason why he made such an arrangement is entirely because of the suggestions of the psychologists of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Merlin told Fury before that Steve's spirit was already very weak after decades of persistence, so Fury deliberately arranged an environment that would make Steve feel comfortable, so as to avoid reality from affecting his spirit. stimulation.

Not everyone can act peacefully knowing that they have been sleeping for decades and that all their friends and relatives have aged in time.

Facing a veteran who has been buried in dust, step by step to let him understand the current world can avoid the possible mental breakdown of Steve to the greatest extent.

But... how to put it.

Fury's arrangement is really perfect. He used holographic projections to simulate New York in 1945, and even made great efforts to find a lot of furniture that Steve used back then, but as Merlin said, a small mistake, completely All this was ruined.

"Go away!"

Angry Steve punched the black-clothed agent in the chest who was trying to stop him. He didn't use all his strength, but the super-soldier's super strength still knocked the well-trained agent to the ground.

Steve still had reason, he did not end the life of this agent, but broke free from their shackles and obstacles, and rushed all the way to the deepest part of the steel base.

The moment he climbed over a fence and jumped onto a certain platform, Steve stopped in his tracks. In front of his eyes, in front of the platform leading to the deep part of the base, was a man in a black windbreaker with broken hair and With black gloves and a blood-red cane, a man with a cold breath stood in front of his eyes.

"Hi Steve, I'm your waker..."

Merlin raised his head and greeted the super soldier who was still a little dazed in front of him. He waved his hand, and the agents who were chasing Steve quickly retreated and disappeared into the passage.

He pushed his glasses, and in this square with only two people, he said softly:

"Still remember me?"
