Chapter 1784 EP1786. Pretend to be ignorant

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

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

Yes, although he later took the initiative to reveal the news, told Nick Fury the relevant information about Alexander Pierce and Dr. Zora, and personally accompanied them to an abandoned camp and participated in the task of clearing Dr. Zora, but for Shi Xiaolei himself, these are not actually "business".

It's best to have a result. On the contrary, if there is no follow-up, Shi Xiaolei will not take it to heart.

After all... no matter how outrageous the subsequent development is, it is unlikely to involve Shi Xiaolei and his family again. Therefore, he doesn't need to pay special attention to these things and put himself in the position of the person involved and keep busy.

When he received the call from Nick Fury, Shi Xiaolei was accompanying Stark to the construction site to inspect the "Second Phase Construction Project of the Large Bathhouse" which had just been completed two days ago.

"I guess I'm free." Looking up at Stark who was communicating with an engineer not far ahead, Shi Xiaolei responded casually: "Are you looking for information from me? What's the matter?"

"Have you heard of the name James Buchanan Barnes?" After a pause, Nick Fury added: "The captain calls him Bucky. They have a very good relationship, which is deeper and stronger than the friendship between you and Stark."

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

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

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

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

As for why he didn't answer Nick Fury in detail, but lied that he had written down Bucky's name when he visited the Captain America Memorial Hall, and asked "what happened" in return, pretending to be completely ignorant...

It's not because of anything else, but because Shi Xiaolei, as a time traveler, knows more about the inside story than others.

You know, after being transformed into the Winter Soldier by Hydra, Bucky was often sent out to perform missions, and he personally committed at least dozens or hundreds of murders.

Although those murders were not Bucky's original intention, and the people he killed had nothing to do with Shi Xiaolei, so it would not affect Shi Xiaolei's feelings and evaluation of him, but there was one thing that Shi Xiaolei could not completely ignore no matter what.

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

When he was still an ordinary audience before crossing, Shi Xiaolei regretted this incident more than once, and felt that the screenwriter was a bit too much when designing the plot.

After coming to this world and becoming friends with Stark, Shi Xiaolei's taboo about this matter has increased several times unconsciously.

Knowing that it was Bucky who killed Howard and Maria, and knowing that this matter was instigated by Hydra, Bucky should not bear all the responsibility. In this regard, Shi Xiaolei's view is actually exactly the same as Captain America's, and it can be said that there is no difference. But as a relative and friend of Stark, and a close friend who can talk about everything, Shi Xiaolei cannot stay out of it and look at this killing by Bucky with an absolutely objective perspective.

After all, Shi Xiaolei himself is a person who helps relatives and not the truth, and there is also a side of protecting shortcomings in his character, and it is quite serious.

To put it more bluntly, as a good friend of Stark, although he does not hate Bucky as much as Stark, he cannot do the same as Captain America, who thinks Bucky is innocent from the bottom of his heart. In Shi Xiaolei's heart, he still has some resistance to Bucky, and he can't accept his existence with a normal heart.

Three parts objective, seven parts subjective. There is a bit of sympathy in the disgust. If you insist on saying how Shi Xiaolei feels about Bucky, it is actually quite contradictory.

And with Shi Xiaolei's extreme fear of trouble, this feeling of not knowing where to start is exactly what he hates the most.

So, thinking that it is better to have less trouble than more, Shi Xiaolei simply put Bucky's existence behind his mind, neither mentioned it to Captain America nor told Stark.

The reason why he pretended to be unaware now is here.

First, if he gave a response of "already knew it" now, it would be like slapping himself in the face and admitting that he had concealed something before.

Secondly...if Stark learns the news in the future and knows that it was Bucky who killed his parents, then Shi Xiaolei will be in a position of "knowing but not reporting".

It's easy to figure out that if things develop like that, the friendship between the two will definitely be affected.

The consequences are quite serious, if they can't get away with it...

Thinking of this, Shi Xiaolei's acting skills burst out unconsciously, whether it's the tone of his response or the rhythm of his words, there is no flaw at all.

"Well..." If it were a face-to-face conversation, maybe Nick Fury could see some flaws. Fortunately, the contact was by phone. Nick Fury could only hear the voice and could not see Shi Xiaolei's expression.

After smacking for a moment, he felt that Shi Xiaolei was not fooling him. Nick Fury continued: "This is what happened. When leading the team to clean up the terrorists sent by Hydra, the captain discovered that someone in the enemy team was His former friend Sergeant Bucky..."

"Huh?" Pretending to the end, Shi Xiaolei deliberately interrupted Nick Fury's story, pretending to be extremely surprised and said: "Wait, let me figure it out. You said that the captain recognized Sergeant Bucky, and Or did you recognize him during the battle? No, 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 is one year older than him. , should have been born in 1917.”

"After all, Sergeant Bucky is now in his eighties or nineties. What I mean is...even if he could meet the captain again, it shouldn't be on the battlefield? Could it be that he is just like the captain, so You haven’t aged at all after all these years? No, the public information displayed in the memorial clearly states that ‘only the captain passed the experiment’, and there is no mention that Sergeant Bucky has also undergone human body modification.”

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

"It's not Dr. Erskine's handiwork. I estimate that in all likelihood, Hydra did some tricks on him. So, as for whether Sergeant Bucky's body has been modified, we will wait until we catch him. Let’s confirm later. What I want to ask is, is there any way you can find out where he is?”

"Well……"
