I am directing big events in American comics

Chapter 189 Steve’s strength improvement plan

Shadow Lorraine: "You said you would grant any wish I have."

Lorraine looked at the line of words on the parchment and suddenly didn't know how to write next.

According to Banner's situation, the emergence of personality is due to some lack and regret of the main personality.

Shadow Lorraine has become like this, and he also has an unshirkable responsibility.

Lorraine: "I didn't expect you to be so in love."

Shadow Lorraine: "Don't worry about this, I want to see her!"

As for that, Lorraine thought for a moment, the contact between Mrs. Stacey and the Shadow Council was only once.

Is this guy still obsessed with me till now?

He didn't know the Shadow Speaker's mental journey, but he always felt it was very dark.

Lorraine: "It's okay to meet me, but you have to help me first."

Shadow Lorraine was silent for a long time. He didn't know if Lorraine was drawing a cake for him, but there was no way to confirm.

Lorraine continued: "The most important thing for us right now is trust."

After a long time, the Shadow Speaker finally wrote new words.

"How to help?"

Lorraine: "I'll tell you later."

That's it, stop writing.

"Wait a moment!"

At the moment Lorraine was about to close the parchment, the Shadow Chancellor hurriedly wrote the last sentence.

"Will you finally get rid of me too?"

Lorraine's eyes flashed, and in the end he only wrote three words.

"don’t worry."

……

Steve came to SHIELD after a long absence and met Agent Hill.

"You mean, there's been no news from Director Fury for almost half a month?"

He asked in surprise, "Then didn't you try to contact him?"

"Actually, this situation is quite common."

Agent Hill smiled and said, "As the king of agents, the Director is always seen and heard, and it is normal for him to disappear for several months occasionally, so don't worry.

"And he was called over by the president last time. He should have been assigned a secret mission."

Is that right?

Steve was still a little worried.

He doesn't have a deep relationship with Nick Fury, but he is a key figure in the future.

According to Future's memory, he suddenly returned after being missing for a while, and his whole person became strange.

You have to figure out what happened in the middle.

"Okay, since that's the case, I won't ask any more questions."

Steve said, "I want to see Bucky today, I wonder if that's okay?"

Agent Hill said helplessly: "Captain, you can't always come to see him every two days and tell him some past stories. He himself is very resistant to this."

"But he is my brother, and I can't watch him continue to be like this!"

Steve frowned and said, "SHIELD won't even allow this, right?"

"In fact, it's not that we don't allow it, it's Mr. Barnes who made an application himself, hoping to reduce the number of your visits."

After a moment of hesitation, Agent Hill told the truth, "He said you violated his human rights and that he was going crazy from torture."

Steve walked out of Agent Hill's office dejectedly.

Now that Fury is gone, Hill is the executive deputy director, in charge of internal and external affairs of S.H.I.E.L.D.

She said she couldn't see him, so Steve really couldn't see Bucky through normal channels.

And Bucky's reaction also made him sad.

"team leader?"

A familiar voice rang in his ear.

Looking back, it's Clint Barton, Hawkeye.

"Clint?" Steve asked curiously, "You didn't go out on the field today?"

"I just finished handing over a task and am going to take two days off."

Clint smiled and said, "Captain, why do you have time to come to SHIELD today? Is it Bucky's business?"

Steve nodded.

"Then you've had a hard time. SHIELD conducted a psychological evaluation on Bucky. Decades of brainwashing have had some irreversible effects on him."

Clint sighed, "If you want to save him, I'm afraid you will have to expend energy and effort that is unimaginable to ordinary people."

"I know, and I'm mentally prepared."

Steve shook his head, wondering why he didn't know Bucky's current situation.

But it is absolutely impossible for me to give up on him.

"Then captain, you go ahead and get busy. I'm packing my things to prepare for my vacation."

Hawkeye is in a happy mood and ready to leave.

Looking at Clint's back, Steve suddenly thought of something.

In the future, Clint is one of his best comrades.

But he is also the comrade who gives him the most headaches.

He seems to have a super power. As long as he thinks about his wife and children before the war and says something like "I will go home after this war", he will definitely survive.

Instead, there will be a comrade beside him who will sacrifice for him.

Steve was sure that Clint didn't mean it.

And he didn't even know that he had such a trait, so he was determined to die every time he went to the battlefield.

However, his Flag is too effective.

This was simply a curse, so in the later stages, no one even wanted to team up with Hawkeye, and he could only be allowed to perform tasks alone.

As a result, this guy continued to meet new partners during the mission.

Then repeat the above process.

[Disaster Star], this is what others call him.

Now that everything can be done again, should I help him?

Moreover, Hawkeye's abilities are similar to his own.

"Clint!"

Steve suddenly stopped Hawkeye.

Clint looked back blankly, wondering what happened to the captain.

"How about we go get some coffee?"

Steve said, "I have something I want to talk to you about."

……

The coffee shop near the downstairs of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Steve and Hawkeye sat across from each other.

After hearing what the captain said, Clint's expression remained tense.

"Captain, you know what you are talking about, right?"

Clint lowered his voice and said, "This is no longer your era, this kind of thing is illegal now!"

"What kind of law is it against?"

Steve felt a little confused, "Is archaeological exploration illegal now?"

"What kind of archaeological expedition? You still think this is the colonial era!"

Clint said angrily, "Now this kind of behavior is collectively called tomb robbing and smuggling cultural relics!"

Just now, Steve proposed a bold idea to him.

About how to improve your strength.

His original words were: "Since I need the personality of a god, and you need to collect mythical beasts, why don't we act together and take the initiative to find some ancient ruins and conduct archaeological expeditions, so that we don't have to trouble Lorraine all the time."

I have to say that his direction is feasible.

But in this day and age, some things can no longer be done.

Eagle Eye had to explain to him that if they wanted to find the relics of the existence of gods, they would definitely have to go to those ancient countries to search for them. But now, those ancient countries, due to the painful memories left over from history, value these cultural relics.

"Especially since we are still members of the Eternal Parliament. If we are not careful, it will cause a diplomatic incident, but it will damage the image of the Eternal Parliament." Hawkeye turned to this old man who was born in the [-]s and learned about the world today. rules.

"Captain, logically speaking, you should be very familiar with this era. Why do you still have such strange ideas? Where did you learn it?"

Steve said truthfully: ""Raiders of the Lost Ark," "Tomb Raider," "Uncharted"..."

"Stop it!"

Eagle Eye finally understood, "In short, the archaeological expedition is impossible. There is still some fun in joint excavation!"

"Joint excavation?"

Steve asked curiously, "Is there any explanation for this?"

"Nothing to say."

Clint sighed, "If you want to jointly explore, you have to have money, people, and technology. Which of these three things do we have?"

nothing...

If they really follow what Hawkeye said, they will accomplish nothing unless they ask Tony or Lorraine for help.

But Steve had already told Clint in advance that this was a matter between the two of them and not to bother anyone else.

Things seemed to have reached an impasse and the plan was doomed to fail.

In fact, according to future memories, it is not difficult for Steve to get some money.

But he didn't want to alert others and reveal that he knew about the future.

It seems to have to think of another way.

In fact, his idea of ​​exploring ancient ruins is indeed good, at least Hawkeye is attracted by it.

"Captain, actually there is no need for you to be so disappointed."

Hawkeye suddenly said, "I know there is a way for us to get enough funds."

"any solution?"

Steve asked, "We have already spoken beforehand, not to go to Lorraine or Tony!"

Hawkeye paused for a moment and said, "Captain, have you heard of the name Eric Killmonger?"

"Kermango..."

Steve was stunned. Was Hawkeye sure he was saying a person's name and not a nickname?

Killmonger, written as Killmonger, literally translates as murder dealer, murder dealer.

Eric Killmonger, which can be translated as ‘Eric Killmonger’, has a strong medieval fantasy style.

With such a strange last name, Steve promised that if he ever saw it, he would never forget it.

Clint further explained: "Eric Killmonger was the name he changed, and I learned his identity during a mission.

"His real name is Ni Jadaka, and he is from Wakanda. His father is the younger brother of T'Chaka, the current king of Wakanda, and he is a thief of cultural relics."

"and many more!"

Steve suddenly reacted, "You're not talking about the leopard, are you?"

The Golden Leopard, a famous international thief, traveled between major museums and stole many precious cultural relics.

Steve often saw him on the news.

"it's him!"

Hawkeye smiled and said, "I remember he had a pretty good bounty on him, right?"

Clint's plan was simple.

As an international bounty criminal, Golden Leopard carries a bounty on his back, which is enough to form an archaeological team.

But Steve, who knew the true face of Wakanda, naturally thought deeper.

He realized that this was a great opportunity to establish a connection with Wakanda.

In Hawkeye's impression, Wakanda is just a small, backward African country, so the leopard's bounty is more important than his identity.

But Steve didn't think so.

Compared to Wakanda, Leopard himself is worthless.

If they can get Wakanda's support, they can explore the traces of gods all over the world!

"Then let's target Killmonger first."

Catching Killmonger is a piece of cake for Steve and Hawkeye now.

"Then let's meet again tonight."

Steve stood up and said calmly, "At that time, I will bring Killmonger."

……

The British Museum.

A black man dressed in hip-hop style and with dreadlocks was standing in front of a cultural relic platform, quietly admiring it.

This is a mask from Africa. It is made with rough craftsmanship and stained with old bloodstains. It is a sacrificial vessel of primitive African religion.

"Good afternoon, how can I help you?"

A formally dressed blond woman came to the black man with a cup of coffee.

Killmonger glanced at the commentator and said with a smile: "I just came to see these antiques. I heard that you are an expert?"

The woman said confidently: "You can say that."

"Then please introduce it to me."

Killmonger pointed to the mask and said, "Where did this come from?"

The blond woman took a sip of coffee and explained: "The Bobo Ashanti tribe is now Ghana, in the [-]th century."

After hearing this explanation, Killmonger suddenly shook his head and said, "It would be wrong to open your mouth."

"what?"

The blond woman was stunned for a moment, then forced a smile and said, "Sir, the origin of this cultural relic is clear and traceable. It has been kept in the museum."

"You are right that the British took this mask from Ghana in the [-]th century."

Killmonger turned around and said, "But its real history is older than you think, and its origin is Wakanda."

He looked at the mask with fascination.

Especially the forehead of the mask is inlaid with a special decoration, like a charm.

The blond woman was holding coffee and still standing next to Killmonger, a little at a loss.

The black man was so confident in his judgment that it seemed like she was really wrong.

Killmonger waved his hand casually, with a hint of apology in his tone: "Please don't pay attention to what I just said, I want to take it away today anyway."

what?

The blond woman frowned and reminded, "These are not for sale."

"How did your ancestors obtain these exhibits? Did they buy them with money?"

Killmonger sneered, "The origins of these things are not clean to begin with. What qualifications do you have to keep them?"

The blonde finally realized something was wrong.

This person is probably not a serious tourist.

"Sir, I'm afraid I have to ask you to leave..."

"Shh!"

Killmonger put a finger to his mouth, making a silent gesture.

“There are cameras everywhere here, you know exactly how I got in, and you can’t find anything unusual.

"But can you figure out what you drank?"

After the words fell, the blond woman suddenly felt difficulty breathing.

The coffee cup in her hand fell to the ground, and the woman fell down weakly, holding her throat with both hands.

"Help! Someone here needs help!"

Killmonger suddenly shouted, "This lady seems to have a physical problem, can anyone help?"

Everyone's attention was drawn here, and the security personnel were rushing here.

Only Killmonger smiled and looked at the mask in the display case.

His eyes fell on the amulet.

But just when he was about to take action, a hand suddenly pressed his shoulder.

"If you don't want to die, don't do anything."
