Chapter 56: Steve Awakens
Looking at the spell in front of him, he did not make too many comments on its effect. Just by using some common items, he was able to construct such a self-circulating and self-sustaining barrier. This alone was not something that an ordinary magician could do.

"It has nothing to do with strength. It's a manifestation of knowledge."

Daddy said in his unique old man's tone: "It is much more difficult to stimulate the powerful power unique to the most common items, guide and utilize it than to extract magic power from magic ore. I just didn't expect that this kind of technique would appear in Hell's Kitchen. Why didn't Daddy notice it before?"

He was wearing a white shirt with a yellow vest, dark blue pants, brown leather shoes, and a pair of small round-framed glasses. As the old man spoke, he stroked his chin:

"The sanctuaries where mages practice often have their own marks. Dad didn't even notice it before. I'll come and visit when I have some free time. Jackie Chan, help Dad prepare the tea!"

"Isn't it inappropriate to serve tea?"

Hearing this, Jackie Chan stared at the Wild Hunt Knights outside the barrier for a while, and after confirming that they could not get in in a short time, he also said: "I sent it to Sheriff Black before, but his drawer was full of tea cakes. Not to mention drinking them, they didn't even know how to preserve them. A lot of tea cakes piled together, the taste is mixed."

"Don't question what Dad said!" Jackie Chan was hit on the head with a slap. His father said angrily, "You can't tell the reason from the technique. Can't you look at the sign next to it? The sign is in Chinese. Is it for foreigners to see?"

Hiss, the sign is in Chinese?
Ron was stunned for a moment, then he looked up and realized why the mental hospital had no business... There was not even anyone who came to ask if there were any discounts in the hall.

Thinking in his mind, Ron also walked towards the barrier.

Seeing Ron and his group, Jackie Chan shouted, "Hey! You guys over there! Be careful, these guys are dangerous!"

As he spoke, Jackie Chan also looked at his father.

"Dad, can you let me out? Otherwise these people might show up..."

"Don't bother Dad!" Jackie Chan was slapped on the head again. Dad just squinted at Ron and said after a moment:

"The master of this place has returned. Although his aura is different from the aura of this technique, he is in a dominant position... The master of this place is an oriental person just as my father said. Don't question what my father said in the future!"

As the old man spoke, the green light slowly dissipated. But before the besieging Wild Hunt Knights could come to their senses, Geralt and Ciri, who were already prepared, rushed forward. The long sword forged from Uru metal still had the sharp power to cut gold and jade even without the power of runes activated. With just two chops, several Wild Hunt Knights were dead on the spot.

However, before their bodies fell to the ground, Mingnu, who was well prepared, opened the Infinite City in advance to complete the cleansing.

Seeing the knights in front of him suddenly shattered and then suddenly disappeared, Jackie Chan was also slightly stunned, but he didn't take it seriously - because Mingnu's speed was too fast, so Jackie Chan only saw some afterimages. This made Jackie Chan subconsciously connect the Wild Hunt with the ninjas in the Shadow Corps, and those ninjas would turn into afterimages and dissipate once they died.

Ron walked forward with a smile and greeted him, "Haha, long time no see, Dad. How's the antique shop business going recently?"

"Well……"

Hearing this, the old man touched his chin, looked at Ron's face and thought for a moment, but he felt that something in his mind seemed to be blocking his memories. However, he was a powerful wizard after all, and after realizing this obstacle, the old man's dantian emitted a hazy green light that flowed into his mind, dispelling the fog in these memories.

Then, the old man clapped his hands and said, "Oh! It's Ron! Long time no see. By the way, I didn't know you were a magician... Where did you learn it? It looks different from Eastern magic."

"Hi, an isolated island overseas called Yharnam, a small Western school, with only three or five people in each generation. Up to now, I am the only one in this world anyway."

"I see. I am a disciple of Master Afeng and I practice Qi magic. We can discuss this more when we have time."

"It's easy to talk about."

They shook hands with each other. As they were both from the same hometown, they were not on guard. However, Ron's empty left sleeve surprised his father a little, but seeing that Ron didn't care, he didn't ask too many questions.

Then, Ron also asked;

"Speaking of which, what do you think of this barrier I set up, Dad? It's pretty good, right?"

"Very good, a perfect use of the positive influence of the collective subconscious on the medium in occultism. However, there is still a drawback."

"What shortcomings?"

“It doesn’t work for Asians.”

"Oh, that's true. Do you have any suggestions?"

"There are some old sleepers and tracks from the Pacific Railroad in Dad's antique shop, but if we use these as materials, it might make the people trapped in the barrier fall into anger and irrational emotions." As he said this, there was a hint of temptation in Dad's eyes.

"Mixian, pay attention to Mixian. Stop talking, stop testing me, or the system will start scolding you." Ron refused.

The Pacific Railway was selected by many magazines and media as one of the seven industrial wonders of the world since the Industrial Revolution. It witnessed the development of Canada. However, behind the completion of the construction seven years ahead of schedule, every kilometer of track was stained with the blood and tears of Chinese workers, and every sleeper was a tombstone of a Chinese worker.

"As for racial knights, I mainly use a double standard."

"Haha, that's good. A mage with a bottom line is a good mage. This is what my father and master said."

As he spoke, the old man also glanced up at the sky, and then asked, "Speaking of which, what's going on in the sky? Do you have any clues?"

"No, I'm also confused and have no idea what happened."

Hearing this, the old man sighed with some regret: "Is that so, then Dad will leave first, and we will discuss magic again later."

"Okay, take care~"

Seeing this, Jackie Chan on the side also said embarrassedly: "Uh... well, I broke some of the mop and bench here, is that okay?"

"It's okay, just a small problem."

As he spoke, Ron also asked with interest: "Speaking of which, now that you have met Sheriff Black, have you ever heard of spells?"

"Talisman? Do you know about talismans too?!" Upon hearing this, Jackie Chan also became serious: "Excuse me, can you tell me where you heard about it? This is very important to me. There is a group of bad guys who are collecting the twelve talismans and want to rule the world!"

"Don't worry, they will never rule."

Apart from anything else, the tiger talisman placed by Ancient One alone is something they will never be able to snatch from him in their lifetime.

The Holy Lord in his prime was very powerful, literally a hexagon with no blind spots, and he could release all his strength, physical strength, and mental energy to the maximum.

However, without all the talismans, the crucial tiger talisman that ensures the yin and yang balance of the twelve talismans is still missing. Even if the Holy Lord obtains the other eleven talismans, he cannot exert their full power. It is even possible that the conflict between the powers will weaken his combat power...

In this situation, the War Damaged Saint used his head to fight against the Full-bodied Ancient One.

Hearing this, although he didn't know why Ron was so sure, through Ron's reaction, Jackie Chan subconsciously thought that Ron should be a friend who stood on the side of the guardian spell, so he smiled and said:

"That's right, their ambition will never come true! Let's not talk about it now, I have something else to do, I will come back to visit you later~"

As he spoke, Jackie Chan turned around and followed his father, walking farther and farther away in the snowy night in New York in midsummer.

Watching the two leave, Ron did not try to persuade them to stay, but just took a deep look at the many overlapping and interconnected worlds in the sky.

Just like when Tony saw those worlds, the first thing he thought of was to go to the other side to find out what was going on. Similarly, the people on the other side more or less thought the same.

Although the barrier between the worlds still exists for a short time, as the celestial spheres converge, and as the rules and concepts of these universes merge into the trash can universe, it won't be long before this barrier disappears. And at that time, it will be the true beginning of the catastrophic celestial phenomenon of the celestial spheres convergence.

Back in the hospital, Ron also toured his gains.

Mission Name: Wild Hunt Invasion
Mission objective: thwart Eredin's plot and defeat the Wild Hunt's army.

Task status: Completed.

Task evaluation: A.

Mission reward: system coins × 60.

Optional Reward: Demon Hunter World Limited Time Shop.

After taking a look at the task interface, Ron clicked to receive it, and then clicked to deny the limited-time store in the Demon Hunter World. There are many mysteries in the Demon Hunter World, but unfortunately, most of these mysteries have little to do with Ron, and even have little reference value. At this stage, Ron hopes to complete the collection of the remaining three umbilical cords as soon as possible.

Opening the system mall, Ron's system coins have reached a huge amount of 122.

In addition to the wealth he had saved before, Matt had also done a lot of things during this period, which invisibly brought more possibilities to the world, and for which he was rewarded with system coins.

Although it doesn't seem like much, the purchasing power of system coins is very strong. At the same time, the store will occasionally refresh some precious, rare, but limited-time items. For example, Ron's store refreshed the second umbilical cord some time ago, and the price was 80 system coins.

At that time, because of the lack of money, he could only choose to fix the store slot to prevent it from being refreshed. For this, Ron had to pay a high locking fee of three system coins per week.

Now that he had money in hand, Ron immediately paid the full amount.

Then Ron bought some things that would be used in battle, recharged the small thunder, and repaired the wear of the Black Sky Eye, so that he could use it next time. When everything was over, the small purse that had accumulated a little more after this period of time suddenly became thinner, from the original 122 to 32.

Besides that, it’s about the arms…

Because of the over-stimulation of the Dark Eye, Ron's left arm was deformed due to the spiritual vision going out of control. In order to prevent the deformation from expanding, Ron cut it off with a clean knife.

And now, the severed left hand has not grown back yet. Although Mi Niang's rice has a strong healing effect, the large amount of rice produced will also deplete Mi Niang's own vitality.

If it was any other time, Ron could just slowly grow his arms back. Anyway, for Ron now, those he could beat could be easily defeated without using his hands. For those he couldn't beat, even having two hands would be useless.

However, the current base world is a little special. Because of the intersection of the celestial spheres, Ron is not sure when the barrier between the worlds will disappear. In order to prevent accidents, it is better to recover from these injuries as soon as possible.

Thinking in his mind, Ron also took out a delicate, elegant bell that radiated a hazy holy light and looked precise, light and sacred - a hymn bell.

As mentioned before, this is a special hunting tool made by the "Chorus" of the Medical Church. Its prototype is a ritual item that originated from the higher-ups, whose sound can cross dimensions and communicate with unknown beings.

After imitation, although the sound of the hymn bell cannot penetrate the dimension, within the coverage of the bell, the life potential of the hunters will be fully stimulated and supplemented by the effect of the bell.

Just as the bell rang softly, Ron soon felt an itching in his left arm. Then, the wound on his shoulder began to grow strands of granulation tissue at a speed visible to the naked eye, entwining with each other.

These tangled granulations grew slowly and solidly. Although it was a little uncomfortable, for any hunter, this level of discomfort could be said to be like a spring breeze.

In fact, Ron has a faster way to recover, such as when his arm was deformed, he could simply free his body and let it recover on its own.

But this is the same reason why Ron still chooses to fight as a hunter... Even if Ron can perform these things without mastering the principles, the uncertainty in the process will greatly reduce their power.

Ten birds in the forest are not as good as one bird in hand. At least, an enemy of Eredin's level was not enough for Ron to ignore the unknown costs and choose to fight to the death.

The effect of the bell was also localized. As Ron's arm grew slowly and steadily, Steve Rogers, who was lying in the ice that had melted more than half, heard the bell in Ron's hand and his eyelids trembled a few times.

A moment later, accompanied by the belated anal lifting exercise of the same type as the Eternal God, Steve took a deep breath and then climbed up from the operating table nimbly.

He raised his head and looked at Ron, holding his butt, his eyes full of fear.

Feeling Steve's horrified and slightly angry eyes, Ron's face darkened and he couldn't help but clench his fists - what does your look mean? Do you think I did something wrong? !

Noticing that Ron's eyes looked a little unfriendly, and confirming that he was still wearing the combat uniform he remembered, Steve quickly realized that he was overthinking.

Thinking about it, Steve coughed lightly and said awkwardly: "Sorry, I... I just woke up. May I ask where is this place? I remember that I crashed?"

Although decades have passed since the crash, for Steve, his memory still remains at the moment before the crash.

The long sleep did not make Steve feel uncomfortable. In fact, because of the hymn bell, Steve felt that he was in very good condition. He did not even feel the fatigue that should have come from a long sleep.

"Did you save me?"

"That's about right. But even if I'm not here, someone else will come to rescue you in no time. But we can't say this for sure. After all, anything can happen in this garbage can universe."

As he spoke, Ron also put away the hymn bell:
"But you don't have to thank me. Come to think of it, I'm also curious about your physique."

Ron said:

"Generally speaking, water is heavier than ice in the same volume because water molecules are arranged in a disordered manner and have a tight structure. After freezing, the structure becomes loose, causing the volume of ice to expand. The same is true for the cell fluid in the human body. Once frozen, the cell fluid will expand and become harder. Even if there is no external force to destroy it, the frozen cell fluid will pierce the cell membrane as soon as it is frozen. It is precisely because of this that it is unrealistic to extend a person's life by freezing. Because at the moment of freezing, all the cells inside the human body have been destroyed by the frozen cell fluid, and even if it is thawed, all you get is a pool of rotten meat."

"Even if it is a super soldier enhancement, it should only enhance various physiological abilities and cannot affect the laws of physics. In order to prevent some unexpected errors and to ensure that you can move around in a healthy manner, are you interested in letting me draw a tube of blood?"

"of course can."

Steve Rogers nodded. This also made Ron curious:

"Aren't you worried that I might create a new super soldier serum from your blood?"

"No, if the Super Soldier Serum could be revealed through blood analysis, then the Allied victory might not be so difficult." Steve said, "But neither blood nor any other body fluids can reveal the effect of the Super Soldier Serum."

After a pause, Steve said, "From your appearance, it seems that I have been unconscious for a long time?"

"It's a bit long."

"How is the war going now? Did the Allies win when I was unconscious? What about Hydra? We must eradicate them completely, otherwise the threat will not disappear!"

"That's a good suggestion, but it has been more than 70 years since the end of World War II. The past in your memory is outdated in this era. Instead of looking back at the past, why don't we look to the future?"

"What?!" Hearing this, Steve's face showed a look of disbelief. He subconsciously stood up, and after realizing his own gaffe, Steve's face showed a hint of apology, and then he returned to his seat hesitantly. After a moment of silence, he looked at Ron with a bitter look and said:

"This...maybe it will take me some time to accept all this."

"Of course. In fact, I have already contacted your future supervisor and they will pick you up tomorrow."

As he spoke, Ron picked up an empty blood collection bottle and came to Steve's side. He raised his chin, and Steve raised his arm in cooperation. Then Ron stabbed Steve's thigh with a needle.

Steve snorted when he was caught off guard, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he said, "It's indeed faster to draw blood from the thigh."

As for the future boss that Ron mentioned...it must be a government researcher, right? After all, Stephen often dealt with them during World War II.

Watching Ron finish collecting blood, Steve stretched his body, then asked curiously: "I have been sleeping for so many years, can you chat with me?"

"What do you want to talk about?"

"This world." Stephen looked at Ron in front of him expectantly and said softly:

"So many years have passed since I fell into a coma. Judging from your tone, the Nazis and Hydra seem to have disappeared into history. Has the world become a better place after the war? How is the Soviet Union? They made huge sacrifices in the war. And so is Britain and the United States... Yes, how is the United States now? People must be living in a free and happy society, right? Everyone can learn the knowledge they want to learn according to their own interests and hobbies, and can spend more time enjoying the influence of literature and art."

"It's really touching to think about it." Steve couldn't help but chuckled and said:
"At that time, we were still fighting for freedom, but now you should be living in a world of freedom and peace. You have beautifully developed our beautiful blue planet, colonized the moon, landed on Mars, and are constantly moving towards the universe..."

After hearing what Steve said, Ron opened his mouth, then spread his hands with a helpless look on his face.

"No, Captain, I just came here to have some fun. There's no need to do this."

I came here to have fun, and you came to stab me...

"...What? Is there something wrong?" Seeing Ron's expression, Steve said puzzledly: "Just say it directly, I can bear it. With the precedents of the Nazis and Hydra, even if it is worse, the world now should be much better than before, right?"

"Then I can only say that humans cannot learn any lessons from history~"

Ron shook his head. He wanted to take Steve outside to see what Hell's Kitchen looked like, so that he could see the world with his own eyes. But considering that New York was in an unprecedented cold snap due to the arrival of the Wild Hunt, Ron had to give up the idea.

"The bookshelf outside has modern history, which covers the development of the world after the end of World War II. The rest will be discussed in the morning."
