I am directing big events in American comics

Chapter 132 The clown will take away all your happiness
Steve was hysterical, as if he was trying to find an outlet for his emotions.

Today was a bad day for him.

The scarecrow's poison of fear now represents hope.

As long as he proves that he was affected by the poisonous gas, everything can return to its original trajectory.

But he was destined to be disappointed.

Lorraine put Steve down and injected a cool magic power into his body, making him slowly calm down.

When Steve stopped being emotional and started thinking calmly, he also realized that he had just misunderstood.

The illusions in the fear gas are aimed at destroying his heart.

It won't help him calm down.

But if it's not an illusion, then what's going on with Peggy in front of her?

"let me introduce!"

Lorraine said, "This is Peggy Carter, Captain America from another world."

Steve opened his mouth, a little unable to understand the unfolding of the story.

another world?
Paige smiled the same smile that had appeared countless times in Steve's dreams.

"Hello Steve, nice to meet you."

"Hello……"

Steve pinched himself to make sure this wasn't a dream.

He kept his eyes on Peggy and refused to move away.

Peggy met Steve's eyes without timidity, and the two looked at each other just like they did 70 years ago.

"My background is a bit complicated. How about we sit down first and tell you slowly?"

"Okay...okay! No problem!"

Steve quickly asked Peggy and the others to sit down on the sofa and made tea for them.

Looking at Steve's clumsy and busy back, Paige smiled: "He is Steve, no different from the Steve I know."

When Steve served tea, Paige also talked about her origins.

It’s still the same thing I told Lorraine before.

Steve listened very carefully and even said 'Oh?' from time to time. ''ah! ''what's next? ' voice, cheering for Paige.

When Paige's story ended, Steve let out a deep sigh.

He couldn't even imagine the power of a war that could easily destroy a world.

"everything is over."

Steve said seriously, "I'm sorry for letting you mention these painful past events. Now that everything is a foregone conclusion, then live well with the hope of your friends!"

Paige was silent for a moment and nodded: "I will. As the only survivor of our world, I will live well with the hope of others."

She raised her head and met Steve's concerned eyes.

Two lonely souls inevitably start to get closer.

then……

"Hee hee, ha ha ha ha!"

Steve started laughing, he seemed really happy.

Peggy was a little overwhelmed by this sudden change. Did something funny happen?

She didn't want to think negatively about Steve's smile, and was more willing to worry about what had happened to Steve.

"Hahahahaha!"

Steve desperately tore at the corners of his mouth, took out a recently made small card from his pocket, and handed it to Paige tremblingly.

Paige took the card with a brief sentence written on it.

"Excuse me for laughing, I'm sick."

Turning over the card, there is another slightly longer sentence.

"This disease often makes me laugh out loud, but this does not reflect my mood. If you have been offended, I sincerely apologize to you!"

Lorraine came to Paige and also saw this card from Steve, and was filled with emotions.

Steve really has a kind heart. He is obviously a patient, but when he knew that his illness would affect others, he first made a card to apologize for his behavior.

Apologizing to others because he is sick is something Shabak cannot do anyway.

He would say someone else was sick and force others to laugh with him.

Paige's eyes showed distress. She wanted to help Steve, but she didn't know how.

After a long time, Steve's laughter stopped.

His whole body was soaked in cold sweat, and he gasped and said: "I'm sorry, I hope I didn't scare you just now. This disease was only diagnosed today, and I can't control it yet."

"It's okay Steve!"

Paige shook her head and said, "Take your time, as long as you have hope, I will face it with you!"

"Thank you!"

Steve smiled weakly. Although technically he and Peggy only met for the first time, they were already like old friends for more than 70 years.

They looked at each other again, and then it seemed as if they couldn't stop. No one was willing to look away in advance.

"Cough cough!"

Lorraine suddenly coughed and said, "We will slowly figure out a solution to Steve's illness. Tony Stark is already forming a medical team, and everything will be fine.

"Captain, should we make arrangements for Miss Paige now? She is new here and her basic necessities have not yet been settled."

Steve woke up like a dream: "Oh, yes! This is a very important matter, so we can't be careless!"

He sat in front of Peggy, touched his chin and said: "The food and clothing are okay, but the problem is housing. Peggy, I don't know what your world is like, but here, everything is very expensive. So far, I can only I can rent a small apartment to live in.”

Peggy blinked and said, "No matter how bad it is, it can't be worse than Glacier, right?"

"Hahaha, of course!"

Steve burst out laughing at this statement.

Paige and Lorraine's expressions suddenly changed.

Peter, who had been eating melon next to him, said tremblingly: "Is the captain sick again?"

"No! No!"

Steve quickly stopped laughing, "I was really laughing just now!"

He felt a little embarrassed.

The laughter during the attack was so similar to real laughter that he couldn't tell the difference even to himself.

It’s better to smile less in the future...

Paige's gentle hand touched Steve's back.

She said softly: "Laugh if you want to, don't have any worries, don't let this disease change you."

"thanks……"

Paige's comfort dispelled a lot of the haze in Steve's heart.

He was stunned for a moment, and then said with some embarrassment: "Well, let's continue the topic. It's not cheap if you want to rent a house in New York. The best way is to find a roommate to share it with."

Steve's calculations were crackling, and even Ancient One could hear them as far away as Kama Taj.

But Paige seemed not to understand and said, "But I can't find a roommate."

"Well, well, it just so happens that the lease term of my apartment is coming soon."

Steve said, "How about we share a better house?"

Paige said with a smile: "Okay!"

That's it.

Steve didn't know if today was a good day or a bad day, but at the end of the day, he wanted to laugh.

It will take time to rent a house, so Paige will stay in a hotel first and will look for a house with Steve tomorrow.

Just like an old married couple.

"everything will get better!"

Steve cheered himself up, "Life won't be bad forever!"

Steve was really not in a good mood today when he found out that he was sick and that it would also affect others.

But the appearance of Peggy gave him a new dawn in life.

He and Paige can start over in the 21st century.

They have many, many things to experience.

Steve couldn't help but look forward to tomorrow.

He finally believed that he could find his own belonging and happiness in this strange era.

happiness……

When he thought of this word, Steve's brain suddenly felt like electricity flashed through him, and the pain was unbearable.

He was weak and fell to the ground.

Steve covered his head, veins popped out, and cold sweat kept flowing. The severe pain made him want to hit the wall to death.

"what happened……"

Crazy laughter seemed to ring in Steve's ears.

"hahahahahahahahaha!"

The laughter continued for a long time and became louder and louder.

By the end, Steve couldn't tell whether others were laughing or whether he was laughing.

He lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, it was already bright.

He fell to the floor and slept all night.

Steve got up with difficulty and realized that his condition might not be as simple as he thought.

He took out his cell phone, but it was low on battery and turned off.

The moment I charged my phone and turned on the screen, countless missed calls popped up.Lorraine, Banner, Tony...

They all called him.

An ominous premonition suddenly arose in Steve's heart, and he quickly called Lorraine back.

"Hello, captain?"

The phone was connected, and Lorraine's tired voice was on the other side.

"Lorraine, I had a seizure last night and fainted. What happened? You guys called me so many times!"

Steve's tone was urgent and uneasy, and his inner anxiety was getting heavier and heavier.

Lorraine said in a low voice: "Captain, you have to be mentally prepared. The hotel where Peggy stayed last night suddenly caught fire."

Fire? !
Steve seemed to be numb, and a flash of fire flashed before his eyes.

It was a hotel fire.

Why, why did such a clear scene appear in my eyes, as if I was right there!
"Where's Paige! How is Paige!"

As soon as Steve asked this question, his heart was wrapped in endless fear.

He was afraid, afraid that the news he least wanted to hear would come out of Lorraine's mouth.

"Miss Paige was attacked last night, but don't worry, I rescued her and she is currently recuperating in the hospital."

Lorraine hesitated for a moment, and then said——

"She had her throat cut last night."

pat-

The phone fell to the ground, and Lorraine's voice kept coming.

"Hello? Hello! Captain, are you listening?"

Steve stood blankly, deaf to everything outside.

Like walking dead.

A tear slipped from the corner of his eye, hit the floor, and broke into a splash.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

……

When Steve rushed to the hospital and opened the door to the ward, he saw Paige sitting on the hospital bed with a bandage tied around her neck.

Paige's face was pale, but she still showed a smile and waved gently to Steve.

"Hi! Steve!"

"Peggy!"

Steve rushed to the hospital bed and asked with concern, "How do you feel now?"

His expression was anxious and full of self-blame.

Peggy touched Steve's face and said softly: "I'm fine now. Lorraine's method is amazing. My wounds have completely healed. You really don't have to worry."

Steve grabbed Paige's hand tightly.

"That's good, that's good!"

Lorraine came out of the door holding the medical records. When he saw Steve, he nodded: "Captain, you are here."

"Ah."

Steve lowered his head and replied in a low voice, as if he was a little afraid to face Lorraine.

Lorraine sat beside the hospital bed and asked Paige: "Miss Paige, do you really not remember who attacked you?"

Upon hearing this, Paige gave Steve a meaningful look.

"Yes, I don't remember."

Paige said, "I went to bed very early last night, and when I woke up, you had already sent me to the hospital. I didn't see the prisoner's face at all."

"All right!"

Lorraine sighed. He took out a photo. On a burned wall, a few blood-red words were still vaguely visible.

"These words are written on the wall of your hotel room."

Lorraine read out the sentence, "'This is a warning,' Miss Paige, don't you have any idea about this sentence?"

"What clue can I have? I just came to this world and I don't have any enemies."

Peggy held Steve's hand tightly and said to him gently, "Okay, don't be so sad, we have to go see the house today!"

"House? No!"

Steve suddenly raised his head, "You can't share a room with me, ahem, I mean, I suddenly realized that it's not convenient for us to live alone."

"That won't do!"

Paige's attitude suddenly became tougher, "You must share the apartment with me. If you feel that you have no status, then you can pursue me, or I can pursue you!"

She looked at Steve with a faint look and said softly: "I want to watch you carefully, and you also need my help."

Steve could say no more.

Peggy's eyes seemed to see all the secrets he was trying so hard to hide.

At this time, Lorraine suddenly said: "Captain, can you go outside with me? I have something to tell you."

"okay……"

Steve walked out silently, as if with something on his mind.

Lorraine also stood up, and before leaving, he handed a small bag of things to Peggy.

"If anything happens later, just take one pill of this and you can be saved as long as you don't die."

Peggy took the small bag, opened it, and saw that it was filled with golden beans.

Outside the ward, Steve waited in despair.

Lorraine walked out and spoke before Steve could speak.

"sorry."

"Ok?"

Steve was confused, why did Lorraine say sorry to him?
"I apologize for Paige."

Lorraine said, "I didn't protect her well and made you worry."

Steve suddenly realized, and he said in frustration: "This is not your fault, or, in other words, it is completely my own fault."

Lorraine shook his head and said: "Do you have any idea about that line of blood words? 'This is a warning'. What does the warning mean? Who is the murderer warning?"

Steve said casually: "I don't know."

"Ok."

Lorraine sighed, "Miss Paige may have been frightened last night and forgot everything. In fact, the hotel's surveillance camera captured the appearance of the murderer. Although the surveillance camera was destroyed in the fire, I asked Mr. Stark to repair it. .”

"what!?"

Steve's expression was extremely strange.

It seems to be happy, but it also seems to be worried.

After hesitating for a long time, Steve asked: "What does the murderer look like?"

"He put on a disguise and couldn't see his face clearly."

Lorraine took out her mobile phone and called up a video.

In the picture, a figure swaggered and danced strangely as he passed through the corridor.

The man was wearing an exaggerated clown suit and a clown mask on his face. The funny smile on the mask looked extremely captivating at this moment.

"clown……"

Steve closed his eyes in pain. He seemed to be back in the alley again and saw his thin self.

The pale face was covered with oil paint, forming a clown's smiling face.

"We searched all current criminal databases and could not find any criminals matching this figure."

Lorraine slowly explained, "His body is very tall and burly, which does not match the image of a clown, and the clothes are not his. There was a robbery not far from the hotel last night, and a clown The actor was stripped naked and fell on the roadside, and he didn't see the murderer's face clearly."

Steve suddenly asked: "Is that clown actor okay!?"

"The corner of his mouth was cut, but it probably wasn't the murderer." Lorraine explained, "The clown actor once encountered a slit woman, and it was the slit woman who cut his face."

Steve breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good!"

Lorraine nodded: "Actually, what made me most uneasy was the way he sneaked into the hotel quietly and slit Miss Paige's throat.

"You know, Miss Paige is a super soldier like you, and she has no power to fight back.

"This shows that the opponent's physical fitness is at least above that of a super soldier, or he has superpowers.

"There are many such people, but not too many. We will find the murderer soon!"

From beginning to end, Lorraine was analyzing and Steve was listening.

As a tactical expert, Steve was unable to come up with any ideas or suggestions at this time.

"Captain, you are probably feeling too heavy right now. It doesn't matter. Just adjust well."

Lorraine put the phone back into her pocket and said softly, "This murderer is more terrifying than we imagined. Miss Paige came from a parallel world, and the hotel was randomly chosen, but he actually came to the door. This must be taken seriously.

"We have reason to suspect that this so-called warning is actually directed at us, and Miss Paige has been implicated by us."

Steve nodded blankly: "I know, I will pay attention."

The conversation ends here.

Afterwards, Steve reluctantly made an appointment with Peggy to look for a house together tomorrow, and then returned to his home.

Steve felt relieved when he returned to this small apartment, as if all pretense had been removed.

He came to the closet, his hands shaking.

Then fling it open.

A bloody clown costume was hanging in the middle of the closet, and a clown mask was posted on the wall, with empty eyes staring at Steve.

Its funny smile seemed to be mocking Steve's incompetence.

In the room, a burst of laughter gradually came.

"Haha, hahahaha!"
