Chapter 1784 EP1786. Pretending not to know

For Nick Fury, the chaos caused by Hydra is far from being cleaned up, and a lot of energy still needs to be invested in it.

But for Shi Xiaolei, the matter has come to an end since he finished Simachimo and rescued Athena Asamiya and Artemis who were ambushed.

Yes, although he later took the initiative to disclose the news, told Nick Fury the information about Alexander Pierce and Dr. Zola, and personally accompanied them to the abandoned camp, and participated in the removal of Dr. Zola. In the task, but for Shi Xiaolei himself, these are actually not 'business'.

Have the best results. On the contrary, if there is no following, Shi Xiaolei will not take it to heart.

After all... No matter how outrageous the follow-up development is, it is unlikely that Shi Xiaolei and his family will be involved again. Therefore, he didn't need to pay special attention to these matters, and put himself in the position of the person concerned and kept busy.

When he received a call from Nick Fury, Shi Xiaolei was accompanying Stark to the construction site to inspect and accept the 'second phase construction project of the large bathhouse' that had just been completed two days ago.

"It's free." Looking up at Stark who was communicating with the engineer not far ahead, Shi Xiaolei responded casually: "Ask me for news? What's the matter?"

"James Buchanan Barnes, have you heard of the name?" After a pause, Nick Fury added: "The captain calls him Bucky, and they have a very good relationship. There is a deeper and stronger friendship between the two.”

"Sergeant Bucky? Of course." Shi Xiaolei raised his eyebrows: "I have been to the museum established to commemorate the captain, and saw some exhibits related to Sergeant Bucky there. What's wrong? What do you do? Will you suddenly mention him?"

In fact, when Nick Fury mentioned the name Bucky, Shi Xiaolei had already guessed what was going on.

After all, he is a time traveler and has seen the entire series of original movies.

Not only did he know everything about Bucky's existence, but also how he fell into the clutches of Hydra and was brainwashed and transformed into a Winter Soldier. Shi Xiaolei also knew everything about it.

As for why he didn't answer Nick Fury in every detail, but lied and said that he wrote down Bucky's name when he visited the US team memorial, and asked the sentence "what's the matter" in turn, pretending to be A completely ignorant attitude...

Not because of anything else, but precisely because Shi Xiaolei, as a time traveler, knows more inside information than others.

You know, after being transformed into the Winter Soldier by Hydra, Bucky would often be sent out to perform missions, and there were dozens or even hundreds of murders committed by him.

Although those murders were not Baki's original intention, and the people he killed had nothing to do with Shi Xiaolei, so it wouldn't affect Shi Xiaolei's perception and evaluation of him, but there is one thing, Shi Xiaolei can't do anything about it The kind that was completely ignored.

That's right, it's the matter of 'he killed Stark's parents with his own hands'.

When he was an ordinary audience before the time-travel, Shi Xiaolei regretted this incident more than once, and felt that the scriptwriter's design of the plot was somewhat excessive.

And after coming to this world and becoming friends with Stark, Shi Xiaolei's taboo about this matter in his heart unknowingly increased several times.

Knowing that it was Bucky who killed Howard and Maria, and also knowing that Hydra instigated this incident, Bucky should not bear all the responsibilities. On this matter alone, Shi Xiaolei's views are different from those of Captain America. Exactly the same, it can be said that there is no difference. But as Stark's relatives and friends, and also a best friend who has nothing to say, Shi Xiaolei can't stay out of the matter and look at Bucky's murder with an absolutely objective perspective.

After all, Shi Xiaolei himself is a person who helps his relatives and does not help his relatives. He also has a protective side in his character, and it is quite serious.

To put it more bluntly, as Stark's friend, although he doesn't hate Bucky like Stark, he can't be like Captain America, and thinks that Bucky is innocent in his heart . In Shi Xiaolei's heart, he still somewhat resisted Bucky, unable to accept his existence with a normal heart.

Three points are objective and seven points are subjective. There is a bit of sympathy in the disgust, but it is actually quite contradictory to say how Shi Xiaolei feels about Bucky.

And with Shi Xiaolei's character of being extremely afraid of trouble, this feeling of being unable to do anything is exactly what he dislikes the most.

Therefore, thinking that more things are worse than less things, Shi Xiaolei simply put Bucky's existence behind him, neither mentioned it to the US team, nor told Stark.

This is why you pretend to be ignorant now.

Firstly, it is because if he gives the response of "already known" now, it is tantamount to slapping himself and admitting that he has concealed something before.

Secondly... If Stark gets news in the future that Bucky personally killed his parents, then Shi Xiaolei will take the position of 'not reporting what he knows'.

If you think about it with your toes, you know that if things develop like that, the friendship between the two will definitely be affected.

The consequences are serious, if you don't get away with it...

Thinking of this, Shi Xiaolei subconsciously exploded his acting skills, neither the tone of his response nor the rhythm of his words showed any flaws.

"Well..." If it was a face-to-face conversation, maybe Nick Fury could see some flaws. Fortunately, it's a phone call now, and Nick Fury can only listen to the voice, but can't see Shi Xiaolei's expression.

Smacking for a moment, feeling that Shi Xiaolei didn't seem to be fooling himself, Nick Fury continued: "This is what happened. When leading the team to clean up the terrorists sent by Hydra, the captain found that someone in the enemy team was His old friend, Sergeant Bucky..."

"Huh?" Just pretend to be the end~lightnovelpub.net~ Shi Xiaolei interrupted Nick Fury's narration on purpose, pretending to be extremely surprised and said: "Wait, let me take a look. You said the captain recognized it." Sergeant Bucky, and recognized him in battle? No way, Sergeant Bucky was born in the same era as the captain... Well, if I remember correctly, the captain was born in 1918, and Sergeant Bucky was born in 1918. One year older, born in 1917."

"Based on this, Sergeant Bucky is now in his 80s or 90s. I mean...even if we can reunite with the captain, it shouldn't be on the battlefield? Could it be that he, like the captain, has been there for so many years?" It’s not old at all? No, the public information displayed in the memorial hall clearly states that ‘only the captain passed the experiment’, and it doesn’t mention that Sergeant Bucky has also undergone body modification.”

Hearing Shi Xiaolei's words, Nick Fury felt more and more that he really didn't know about Sergeant Bucky's information.

"It wasn't Dr. Erskine's handwriting. I estimate that there are nine out of ten that Hydra has done something to him. What, about whether Sergeant Bucky's body has been modified, wait until he is caught Let's confirm later. What I want to ask is, is there any way for you to find out his whereabouts?"

"Well…"
