"Has there ever been a blacksmith here?" Nicole asked, sitting in the passenger seat.

"No, at least I haven't heard of it in Hell's Kitchen. I can ask my men...well, I can use my connections to investigate and see if there is this person in other areas of New York City. If he is still on a large scale, If you deal in drugs, you should have some reputation." Wesley said a little apologetically, "Sorry, madam, after you made it clear that I couldn't touch the drug trade, I never paid attention to it."

"Yeah." Nicole said casually, ignoring that Wesley was driving. She stretched out her left hand to tilt the rearview mirror in her direction, and saw two silent men in the back seat.

The movements of the two people were surprisingly consistent. They were both holding their chins with one hand and leaning on the car window frame with their arms, silently looking out the window, secretly lost in thought.

Nicole couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw the two people making exactly the same movements. She raised a charming arc at the corner of her mouth and said, "Summer."

"Well" Xia Tian came back to his senses. There was light rain in the sky, and it fell bit by bit on the car window. Through the window covered with raindrops, you could see the blurry neon flashing outside, especially with the raindrops beating on the car window. The sound on the car window and the scene made him feel very comfortable.

"We are discussing the blacksmith, what do you think?" Nicole asked.

After the words fell, the punisher on the right also turned his head, as if he wanted to hear what Xia Tian had to say.

Of course Xia Tian has high opinions, and they are truly insightful. After all, Xia Tian is a person outside the "box". He knows everything, but his memory is a little blurry.

Nicole and others used clues to find the blacksmith and determine his identity.

Xia Tian was just the opposite. He was the first to confirm the blacksmith's identity, and then he was trying hard to find some excuse to convince everyone that he was the blacksmith.

"It has been several years since your family's tragedy, but you said that you only learned the news a year and a half ago and started planning everything." Xia Tian started to speak, and quickly added, "I know that is what National secrets, I don’t plan to discuss this too much, I mean, who do you think would hide such information from you?”

The Punisher frowned, thought for a while, and said, "No one."

"The person who assigned you to the mission, the person who assigned you to travel around, the person who has been disappearing and unable to communicate with the outside world, the person who made you isolate yourself from the world as much as possible, delay time, and find a remedy." Xia Tian said casually, "Who is it? You are asked to go on missions again and again, or you are assigned the most difficult, most time-consuming, even the most dangerous, and most likely to lead to your death. Who is the person who gave you the order?"

The Punisher was stunned for a moment, turned his head, and looked at Xia Tian with a sinister look: "That is my boss, but he is also my comrade-in-arms. If you have really been a soldier, you should know what a comrade-in-arms is."

"This is just a reasonable suspicion. If he is really your good leader and good comrade-in-arms, maybe he will tell you as soon as he receives the news of your family tragedy, instead of letting you continue to be kept in the dark. , continue to go through life and death, and I don’t know when and where I will die in the hail of bullets." Xia Tian shrugged his shoulders, and in one sentence, the punisher was speechless.

Wesley habitually looked at the rearview mirror, wanting to see the faces of the two of them, but found that the rearview mirror had been occupied by Nicole, and the adjusted angle was not ideal.

"This is my man. As long as you ask him, he will give you the answer." Nicole admired softly.

"You have such a big reaction, which just proves that there is such a person who has been pulling your attention, giving you the most difficult tasks, trying to make you die cleanly at a certain moment." Xia Tian never said anything. Looking at the face of the Punisher, he just turned his head again and looked at the car window blurred by raindrops, looking at the bright night view of New York City.

The Punisher clenched his fists and his body was shaking slightly. It could be seen that he was trying his best to endure it.

"Frank, what's his name?" Nicole turned her head and looked at the Punisher who bowed his head silently and said, "We can go visit him. Wouldn't it be better if we could eliminate that person's suspicion? You already have it in your mind now." A seed has been planted, and one day it will take root and sprout.”

"I'm not the kind of coward who would run away." The Punisher said solemnly.

"Tell me, what's his name?" Nicole smiled, a hint of admiration flashed in her beautiful eyes. This is the player who truly fits her team.

She has followed Xia Tian around for ten years, and this is the first time she has met someone who has almost the same values ​​as hers. Winter Soldier Zoya and Winter Soldier Victor are just robots in a certain sense. They will carry out Nicole's orders without hesitation, but their true hearts are not that.

Thinking this way, they just had their souls taken over by Nicole.

But this Punisher was different. As soon as he appeared on the scene, Nicole was completely amazed.

Brave, fearless, ruthless, paranoid, and full of faith and persistence.

Old school tough guy style, full of street style, one person can destroy a city, one person is an army

Nicole found someone who could be directly used as a subordinate without any training. This joy was difficult for others to understand. In this world, it is really difficult to find someone who has the same style as her own.

"The rest is my business," the Punisher said coldly, refusing to answer Nicole's question.

"My man gave you ideas, but now you are burning bridges," Nicole asked with a joking smile.

"I will visit that person personally. I will go alone." The punisher lowered his head, closed his eyes, and sat in the back seat with his arms crossed, saying no more words.

"Summer" Nicole looked at the punisher quite speechlessly, then turned to look at Xia Tian, ​​gesturing for the man to say something.

"Let him go. Some styles cannot be forced. It is already our honor to let him sit in this car." Xia Tian snorted coldly, "This is a lone wolf, and he may break away from the wolf pack at any time. You can't compare him to normal people like Darwin."

To Wesley's expectation, Xia Tian's obviously mocking words did not arouse the Punisher's disgust.

"I thought he had become our teammate." Nicole was obviously wrong and said dissatisfied.

"Who knows, maybe he has regarded us as teammates, but he just doesn't want to admit it." Xia Tian finally turned his head, looked at Nicole, gave the woman a comforting look, and said, "It's just that this teammate won't always be with us. You know, this is not his style. All we have to do is give him a warm place so that when he comes back from wandering occasionally, he can come in and drink hot tea."

"Boy, you think you know me very well." The punisher suddenly opened his eyes, raised his head, and turned slightly sideways to look at Xia Tian, ​​with a hint of ridicule on his face.

"Almost." Xia Tian said softly.

"I appreciate your confidence and arrogance." The Punisher sneered and snorted.

"You are not a person who can stop. Your long military career has made you accustomed to a life with goals. Maybe your family can save you, but obviously, now you have lost your home, so you are hopeless. You will never get out of your career, never." Xia Tian said softly, seeming to avoid Nicole's burning eyes, and looked at the rain-soaked blurry car window again.

The blurry colored neon reflected in Xia Tian's eyes, glowing a little: "You always need a goal, you need the other side. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles you go through, you finally succeed in rowing a raft across the fast river, but But you find that the joy is only for a short moment, and then you will feel confused, and you will start to look for the next goal. Even when you can't find the next goal, you will strengthen the raft again, and then move towards where you came from. Row back to the other side, you are this kind of person, a person who doesn't bother to find a place to live, a person who never stops, a person who is always tired of running."

"That's good. It makes you a perfect soldier and an excellent subordinate. But...when you find out that your immediate superior is the culprit, you will be indifferent to any of my requests. You will Swear not to obey anyone's orders anymore. You will only follow your inner decision and become the master of your own body and mind." Xia Tian sighed and murmured softly, "I can imagine what it will be like when you meet your boss. You must have Prepare mentally for the world to collapse.”

"You seem to know him really well," Nicole asked softly, her eyes flickering slightly. Beside him, the Punisher had been silent for a long time, and his silence was a bit scary.

"A little speculation." Xia Tian responded.

"No, I'm not referring to your speculation about his future, I'm referring to your description of him as a person. In the previous paragraph, you talked about career, goals, and rafts." Nicole suddenly turned the co-pilot's hand The seat slid back, and he leaned forward, holding Xia Tian's face with one hand, and looked directly into his eyes, "He didn't refute, it seems you are right."

"Well, I just..."

"Why are you avoiding my sight?" Nicole asked softly, interrupting Xia Tian's defense.

"Sit back." Xia Tian opened Nicole's palm with one hand and ordered with a frown.

Nicole saw Xia Tian's face become serious and sat back obediently, but a happy smile appeared on her face.

It looks like she figured it out.

Maybe Xia Tian is describing himself. The Punisher's family is ruined, he no longer has a place to stay, he no longer has a heart to rely on, and he can no longer find a real place to stay. If Nicole had never appeared in Xia Tian's life, if she were eliminated from his life, then Xia Tian could only be another "punisher".

A man who was constantly repairing his raft and running back and forth in the river to the other side.
