winter rose

"Then you can finish it."

After speaking, Paar threw himself back on the bed.

The pain on the neck is still the same, and the reddish color tends to deepen.

"Damn Blake..."

The spoon fell into the empty tin can, and the soldier who had finished eating the plums looked at her.

"What did he do?"

After thinking about it, he added another sentence in a very firm tone.

"He strangled you."

Pal's expression was a little strange.

"It's none of your business. Don't ask nonsense if it's none of your business."

It seems to have touched some secret thoughts that are not easy to announce to the public.

The Winter Soldier didn't speak, and the sound of throwing the tin can into the trash can was very loud, quite a bit like declaring "I'm angry".

Parr thought it was probably an illusion.

"Come with me to the cafeteria later. It is said that there is delicious veal today."

There was still no verbal response, but this time it was a spoon that was thrown into the trash can.

There was a whoosh, like throwing a dart.

Now Pal felt something was wrong.

She got up and got out of bed, took back her gun belt from his arms and tied it back on her body, brushed the safety gun between her fingers, feeling a little settled in her heart.

Being thrown against the wall and falling off and vomiting blood was a bad feeling, and she really didn't want to do it again.

"you……"

Her eyes looked up and down the Winter Soldier.

"Has Victor checked you for any mental instability? Soldier, don't lie to your commander."

"Sir, Dr. Romanov says everything is fine."

Her brows raised slightly.

"Then... Victor dared not tell you that he was mentally unstable for fear of being beaten."

By the way, there was also his resolute closing the door to see off the guests. Although it was perfectly normal, his dead face definitely showed abnormal worry and tension.As long as the Winter Soldier gets excited and starts beating people, then all speculations are reasonable.

"Okay, that's it."

Paar, who had finally relaxed, became tense again.

"Calm down, follow me, the two of us go to the medical room to see Victor. Don't worry, I won't find a bunch of spies with guns standing around to block the eyes. Just the two of us, uh, and Victor , just three people to do the inspection again. Then we can come back to have some snacks after the inspection, and go to the cafeteria to get today's fresh and tender veal steak."

She took a step closer slowly.

"Soldier, do you think... okay?"

He stared at her with an inexplicable emotion in his faint eyes.

Pal couldn't read it, nor was he in the mood to read it.

The Winter Soldier didn't say yes or no, he didn't even nod.This gave her a bit of a headache, but she couldn't control that much, Paar was heartbroken, grabbed his sleeve, pushed open the door and left.

The pace is firm and the speed is fast.

The Winter Soldier was behind her when she got on the elevator, and a group of agents rushed in after the door closed not far away, looking very anxious.

After pressing the floors, the agents who filed in filed almost squeezed Paal into broken biscuits.

"Good afternoon, Doctor Lancaster."

She nodded in response.

The narrow air around her made her unnatural. As the highest administrative commander after Ristrac stepped down from the branch, she suddenly realized that she had not established some prestige like Jasper.

Otherwise they would never squeeze themselves like this.

Thinking about it, my surroundings suddenly relaxed a little.

She turned her head subconsciously, but saw a group of secret service teams crowded together and shivering.

And their gazes seemed to glance towards the Winter Soldier.

Oh...then I, the Chief Executive, am not as good as the Winter Soldier?

Pal thought and thought, and it seemed so.

Forget it.

When the elevator reached the fourth floor, the team of agents on mission went out much faster than when they came in.

As the last agent stepped through the elevator doors, Paal gave him a flimsy glance.It's a familiar face.

The elevator continues to go up.

On the seventh floor, Pal continued to gallop all the way, tugging at his sleeves.When he was about to reach the corner of Victor's office door, Paar collided with the same hurried visitor from the opposite side.

The footsteps did not stop, and the two fell colorfully like hops splashed when clinking glasses.

Paal was faster, and when he looked up, he realized that the one who bumped into him was the undead Ian Black, and he was on top of him.

"What a coincidence."

He tilted his head and smiled.

"Doctor Lancaster, are you all right?"

Before Pal could react, a big hand suddenly hugged him by the waist——

In fact, it should be more accurate to pull it up.

In short, Pal is now standing firmly next to the Winter Soldier. Whether it is in terms of height, appearance or aura, the Winter Soldier is more like a superior.

She suddenly felt that this feeling was good.

"Sir."

The Winter Soldier's voice interrupted her daze.

"You said Ian Black choked you."

Pal tilted his head, "Huh?"

"I didn't tell you."

"Then he did strangle you."

The Winter Soldier said flatly.

Realizing that he had been tricked, Pal laughed angrily, but the smile disappeared without a trace the moment the Winter Soldier punched.

The Winter Soldier's metal left arm struck quickly, leaving him no chance to react.Ian was sent flying with a swish by the punch, and landed on the ground with a slap.

Pal felt that this scene was familiar, and he also felt a faint backache.

The well-trained humanoid weapon continued his attack mode, and he walked quickly to Ian who had almost lost the ability to resist.Only then did Paar call out slowly as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"Did I give any orders! Soldier, what are you doing?"

This question is too unlevel, she thought.

But the Winter Soldier froze for a moment, then turned sideways to answer.

"For you."

So, the person who was stunned became Paar.

Just in this long, cold corridor that few people pass by.Paar looked at the Winter Soldier who turned around not far away, and suddenly felt a great sense of absurdity in his heart.

She stared at him, the flamboyant blame and schadenfreude smile of the previous second mixed with the current shock, making her seem more ridiculous than the absurdity in her heart.

But who would have thought.

Who will know.

No one in this world has ever broken any rules for me, and one day this person appeared, but it was...

The soldier in front of him was wearing Hydra's standard combat uniform, and the modified metal left arm was stained with the blood of many people.

But it is a killing machine in the eyes of others.

But... what about him.

She felt that she must have not understood what he meant, after all, after all, he was the Winter Soldier, a Winter Soldier with no brain.

So she put away the redundant expression on her face and said it again.

"What are you doing."

"For you, sir."

He also seemed to feel that he hadn't made it clear, so he added another sentence.

"Ian Black wants to kill you, and it's my job to put—"

"Mission? Who gave the order."

she asked again.

The Winter Soldier couldn't fathom her emotions, so he said.

"nobody."

"Since no one has given this order, why did you do it?"

He stopped talking.

He lowered his blue eyes gloomyly, and an indescribable anger was brewing in his chest.

I didn't do anything wrong.

Parr blinked.

Of course you did nothing wrong.

"Because I'm the officer, right?"

He frowned, a little annoyed.

"I don't know, sir."

"oh, I see."

Pal was still good-natured and lifeless.She just walked between the Winter Soldier and Ian with a smile, and paused for a while.

Then, she squatted down suddenly and lifted Ian's chin, which was bloody at the corner of his mouth.

"Do you think I really dare not solve this matter clearly?"

He wanted to step back, but Paar pinched his chin tightly.Ian swallowed bloody spit and squeezed a word through his teeth.

"Jasper won't—"

"So he is the one who did this."

Pal turned his body sideways, and Ian's eyes fell on the Winter Soldier.

In an instant, panic swept over.

He struggled to stand up, but the punch almost took away all his fighting strength.

"no, you can not--"

"No, Corporal Black. I can. Because I'm the highest-ranking commander here, and I'm the Winter Soldier's immediate superior."

As she spoke, she stood up, leaving enough room for the Winter Soldier behind her.

"Soldier."

He looked up at her.

"You just did a good job, but the job is not done."

Paar smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"No one dares to stop you this time."

Viktor Romanov's laboratory.

Pal sat at his desk humming as Dead Face rummaged through the Winter Soldier's report card.

The Winter Soldier was breathing heavily, blood dripping from his metal knuckles.

"He is your brother's most important person and his confidant."

The dead face was finally pulled out from the stacked folders and thrown into Paar's arms.

She raised her hand to take it, and flipped through it roughly.

"The half-dead man at the door, there is no medical equipment in the base that he should use."

The dead man gave her a blank look and stopped talking.

"Victor."

He gave a glance to signal that he was listening.

"There is a page missing in the information, you know."

His eyes paused for a moment, and the changes were insignificant.

"do not know."

"Is it."

Paar got up and walked to him, with deep anger in his tone.

"I thought you were going to say 'are you blind, the data is not lost'. But yes, that's what you would say to Dr. Lancaster, not to your boss. "

"What nonsense are you talking about—"

"You gave the report to Black, didn't you? Don't try to hide it from me, Victor. You saw it when you opened the door just now, don't you still miss the time when you and Black were waiting to die in the laboratory? If you're not willing to be honest with me—" She glanced at the Winter Soldier.

"—Soldier doesn't mind helping you recall."

"Also, you'll tell Ian later. Like him, I don't like other people touching my things. So, if he thinks about going past me to give the general some news, don't forget that I'm the base right now Chief Executive. To kill him is only a matter of words. Of course, if he thinks that is not enough, Jasper will definitely not help him."
