Chapter 212 Seeds of Doubt
Carol fell into Lin Feng's logic unconsciously. She was a little stubborn and said, "So what?"
Lin Feng smiled slightly, "Not very good. Although we Chinese have always emphasized that seeing is believing and hearing is false, sometimes your eyes can deceive you. The image of the Skrulls secretly invading the earth that you know of is probably provided to you by the aliens you contacted. Do you trust them so much?"
At this point Lin Feng paused and said: "Have you ever thought that if the information they provided was false, their purpose was just to get you to eradicate the Skrulls?"
Carol was stunned when she heard this, and doubts began to arise in her heart. Yes, why did she trust her captain so much?
Seeing this, Lin Feng struck while the iron was hot, "I believe you have your own judgment. Since you know the existence of the Skrulls, you naturally have a way to identify them. You can get close to them and see if their image is really as brutal as the invaders."
Carol was a little dissatisfied. "Great kindness seems fake, great evil seems loyal. Who knows if they are pretending?"
Lin Feng just smiled and asked, "Doesn't this sentence also apply to the aliens you come into contact with?"
Carol was stunned. After a long time, she left in a daze. Before leaving, she looked back at Lin Feng with a complicated expression and remained silent for a long time.
Lin Feng just smiled at her and even waved to see her off.
Carol never looked back.
She began to believe Lin Feng's words. As a person, you should have your own judgment, instead of blindly listening to the information given by others.
Lin Feng put his hands in his pockets, whistled briskly, and prepared to leave. He had successfully planted the seeds of doubt in Carol's heart. As long as time passed and the Kree people behaved differently, this seed would quietly take root and sprout, leading Carol to gradually shift his position.
The question of whether the Skrulls are invaders has not yet been determined, but the space jump technology provided by the Kree when Thanos invaded Blue Star is enough to show their attitude towards Blue Star. However, they instilled in Carol the idea that the Skrulls are invaders and beautified their image, which is very different from their actual behavior. As long as Carol no longer blindly trusts the Kree, she will sooner or later find the flaws, and the accumulation of flaws will deepen her suspicion and reveal more truth.
However, we cannot leave the Skrulls alone, and it will be necessary to mention this matter to Strange when the time comes.
When Lin Feng was thinking about the conflict between the Kree and the Skrulls, his cell phone rang suddenly. He glanced at the screen and saw that it was a call from Rogers. Although he was confused, he still answered the call.
"Professor Lin, Bucky is definitely not the murderer." Rogers' voice sounded a little anxious on the other end of the phone, which was very different from his usual calmness. "You told me that he was in Romania recently, and I have found his whereabouts. Since he was in Romania, how could he go to Vienna to carry out a terrorist attack in such a short time?"
Lin Feng quickly comforted him, "Rogers, don't worry, I understand you and I believe you. We all know that it wasn't Bucky who did it, but all the clues point to him. If you can find him, persuade him to surrender first, because the video alone cannot convict him, and more evidence is needed. When the United Nations investigates more evidence, they may find the real murderer."
Rogers was grateful and thanked him quickly: "Professor Lin, thank you for your trust. I will go find him right away. I will definitely persuade him to surrender first and will not let him escape. At the same time, his feud with Hydra should be resolved."
Hearing this, Lin Feng knew that Rogers not only wanted to clear Bucky of suspicion, but also hoped that Bucky could face his sins as the Winter Soldier and bid farewell to the Hydra organization. He was moved by Rogers' support for Bucky and asked, "Do you need help?"
Rogers paused and replied, "Professor, if possible, let Sam help me."
Lin Feng smiled and said, "Okay, I'll contact Sam right away. You have to be careful, not only to ensure Bucky's safety, but also to pay attention to your own safety."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Feng first contacted Sam and asked him to go to Romania to find Rogers, and then walked towards the ruins. At this time, the wounded and the dead had been almost cleared, the fire was under control, and only some finishing work remained.
Lin Feng understood what Rogers meant. He didn't want to take up too much of the Avengers' human resources. But he also knew that Bucky was a very important person, so he had to seek Sam's help.
Due to the influence of the Chinese God Religion and the anti-God movement, a huge crack has appeared in the trust of mankind in God. And the Avengers came into being in this context. It is like a newborn baby facing the adult world, and it is inevitable that it is stretched in terms of manpower.
Lin Feng no longer paid too much attention to the attitude of humans on Blue Star towards gods. After the battle with Thanos, his image has surpassed Blue Star, and he has fans in Asgard, the Dark Planet, and even the distant Xandar. Now, he is more concerned about the growth of the Avengers and the progress of mankind.
Thinking of Bucky, Lin Feng thought of Stark again. Bucky had secretly assassinated Stark's parents as a humanoid weapon of Hydra. Although he was not aware of it at the time, this could not erase the blood on his hands. Lin Feng felt it necessary to remind Stark and let him be mentally prepared. Otherwise, once this matter was mentioned by others, it would cause confrontation between Stark and Rogers, and the consequences would be disastrous.
He remembered that this matter would be revealed by a person from Sokovia, which would lead to a fight between Stark and Rogers, and their relationship would drop to the freezing point. But he could not remember who this person was, and it had been a long time, and he did not pay much attention to those little people. Therefore, he had been thinking about who wanted to destroy the relationship between the Avengers and what motives they had.
If I remember correctly, this person should also be the murderer of the Vienna Massacre. He disguised himself as Bucky and tried to frame him. After luring Bucky out, he used the information left by Hydra to hypnotize and control Bucky, triggering a new round of massacres.
Oh, Hydra! Thinking of this, Lin Feng quickly sent a message to Natasha. Natasha was an expert in intelligence work. He asked her to go to Cleveland to find a former Soviet man who was in hiding and drinking, because this person had a lot of key information and clues.
After contacting Natasha, Lin Feng did not stop because he knew that the person who was secretly acting next would assassinate a psychiatrist and try to pretend to be him to sneak into the trial scene to hypnotize Bucky.
After a moment of hesitation, Lin Feng decided not to use his divine power. He was afraid that if he used his divine power too much, he would gradually lose his humanity. Deep down, he was still a Chinese, which was why he regarded himself as the spokesperson of God. He wanted to keep his humanity and divinity separate.
After sighing, Lin Feng decided to go to Stark's research institute to tell him the fact.
Two men in baseball caps walked into the bar, ordered a drink each, and began talking in low voices at the bar.
Sam didn't turn his head, just looked around. "Rogers, do you think it's possible for us to bring him back without resorting to violence?"
Rogers sighed and lowered his voice, "I will do my best. Bucky has taken too many innocent lives as the Winter Soldier. I can't let him make any more mistakes."
Sam nodded, but still gave Rogers a heads-up. "You have to be aware that he is a super soldier as powerful as you. Once he gets out of control, the consequences will be disastrous. We don't know what means Hydra used to control him, but what is certain is that he has the potential risk of getting out of control."
Just as he finished speaking, another person appeared beside them, a woman, and she also ordered a glass of wine.
She also whispered, "After the live video was released, we received a large number of reports from various parties, but many of them are groundless speculations and have no practical value." She handed over a file bag, "Except this. My boss is in urgent need of a briefing, so this is all I can give you." Rogers did not turn around, but still expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Sharon."
Since the last incident, Rogers has distanced himself from Sharon intentionally or unintentionally, but after this terrorist attack, Sharon discovered Rogers' whereabouts and wanted to resolve the misunderstanding, so she tried every means to find him.
She is now a member of the United Nations Vienna special investigation team. After discovering Rogers' whereabouts, she thought the suspect might know Rogers, so she looked through the files and found the only person who might still be alive.
Sharon felt warm at heart when she heard Rogers' thanks, but she still didn't forget her business. She told Rogers seriously, "You have to hurry up. Our superiors have ordered that the target is too dangerous and can be killed immediately if he appears." After that, she left.
Rogers and Sam looked at each other, realized the seriousness of the situation, and immediately opened the information to check.
Lin Feng saw Stark. Although he was a little thinner, his mental state was obviously much better. It seemed that he had been eating properly and exercising regularly recently, and his life was pretty good.
Seeing Lin Feng coming, Stark stopped lifting weights and wiped his sweat. "What's the matter, Professor Lin Feng? Do you want to talk to me about something? We have already made a machine to detect the Kree, but it will take some time to counter it."
Lin Feng smiled, "I know. You and Dr. Senna should take a good rest for a few days. You both have lost a lot of weight."
Hearing Lin Feng's concern, Stark smiled and said, "Professor Lin, thank you for your concern. But the Kree are like a sword hanging over our heads. We will never have peace until we resolve the issue."
Lin Feng patted his shoulder and said, "Let it go for now. Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. Now Hashimoto Huanyue has infiltrated the Kree people. With the intelligence she provides, we can put the countermeasures on hold."
Stark heard this and said, "Okay, thank you Professor Lin for your concern. By the way, Professor Lin, what do you want to talk to me about this time?"
Lin Feng looked up at the ceiling, "Stark, do you remember what happened to your parents?"
Stark's eyes froze. Lin Feng asked about this matter as soon as he opened his mouth, which made him have a bad feeling in his heart.
Lin Feng handed him a file bag, "Don't open it yet. Do you know that Hydra has a method that can hypnotize people and turn them into ruthless killers?"
Stark shook his head. "I don't know about this. Professor, you should have discovered this yourself through the information left by Hydra. Professor, was the one who killed my parents a member of Hydra? Moreover, did he kill my parents after being hypnotized?"
Lin Feng nodded, "That's right. Now that you are mentally prepared, you can open this file bag. I hope that after you open it, you will not hold a grudge against anyone, and you will not hurt others because of prejudice. That's all I have to say. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me."
After saying that, Lin Feng left. He knew that Stark needed to be alone for the next period of time.
In Bucharest, Bucky was calculating his savings. He had been living frugally recently, and working two jobs, and finally saved enough money for a flight to China and to live there for a while.
He decided to reward himself.
After putting on a baseball cap, Bucky walked out of the house and went to the fruit stall to buy a lot of fruits.
While waiting for the bus on the roadside, Bucky felt thirsty as the bus didn't come for a long time. He saw a small shop across the road and walked over to buy a bottle of drink to quench his thirst.
The shop owner was chewing on a popsicle and reading the newspaper carelessly. He quickly glanced at the news in the newspaper, felt that it was too far away from his life, and threw the newspaper away.
But just as he threw down the newspaper, he felt that the news seemed very close to him. He looked at the man getting closer and closer, and was terrified, so he quickly fled the store.
Bucky felt incredible when he saw the panicking shop owner, but he also knew that if his identity had not been exposed, ordinary people would not be so terrified when seeing him.
He had been in disguise these days, and he never took off his cap, but he was still recognized? Was it the content of the newspaper that betrayed him?
Bucky walked over and picked up the newspaper, his face changed drastically after just one glance.
The newspapers not only revealed his identity, but also portrayed him as a monster in the eyes of the world.
"The United Nations is offering a large reward for the arrest of the suspect in the Vienna Massacre - Hydra killer James Buchanan Barnes."
Recently, he heard the tragic news of the Vienna Massacre from his co-workers while working. The scene was horrific and many lives were lost. That was all he knew.
However, the newspapers actually identified him as the murderer of the Vienna Massacre? He read the newspaper reports carefully and learned that the accident occurred in the building where the "Draft Sokovia Convention" was about to be signed, and many volunteers and advocates were killed. The introduction of this draft was aimed at reconciling the relationship between humans and gods.
Baki realized the seriousness of the situation. If the murderer's crime was true, he would not only offend the United Nations, but also anger the two camps of supporters and opponents of God. One bombing case made all the efforts go to waste. And the murderer actually wanted him to take the blame, so his situation was obviously precarious.
After careful consideration, Bucky quickly returned to his residence.
At Bucky's residence, Rogers had sneaked in quietly.
