Chapter 214 Extraneous problems
Ultron simply shook his head, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Wanda. But I am a pure robot, and human food is just beautiful to me. Vision has human cells and biological tissues, so he can eat it and should like it."
Vision agreed, "I think Miss Wanda's craftsmanship must be very good."
Wanda smiled and said, "You haven't eaten it yet, how do you know if it's good?"
Ultron looked at Vision. Since he appeared again, he no longer used the title "Donor", which meant that he was no longer the holder of the Ninth-Rank Moral Golden Lotus who was detached from the world, but a mimic who began to possess human moral emotions.
This is what he hopes for, and this is what Lin Feng hopes for. Vision represents the most reliable direction of human development.
Since he couldn't eat, Ultron left the kitchen.
On the streets of Berlin, Germany, police cars flooded in like a tide, forcing the road to be temporarily closed. Pedestrians could only wait patiently. They knew that the police had a heavy responsibility, especially when facing the elusive gods and sudden alien threats. The prisoner in the car was a real super soldier who had caused a tragedy in Vienna not long ago. If it weren't for such police deployment, the safety of the people would be difficult to guarantee. At this moment, no one was willing to gamble with their lives.
Sam glanced curiously at T'Challa in the front seat and asked half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Why, do you have a special liking for cats?"
Rogers felt that Sam's words were inappropriate and quickly stopped him, saying, "Sam, don't do that."
However, Sam was a little unhappy. He came to Bucharest not only to respond to Rogers' request, but also to follow Lin Feng's mission. Lin Feng once told him that the Winter Soldier had no time to commit crimes and had reformed. He intended to let Bucky join the Avengers.
The appearance of Black Panther not only disrupted his and Rogers' plan to rescue Bucky, but also put Bucky in jail. He was inevitably annoyed and said to Rogers: "Rogers, don't you think it's strange for a person to dress like a black cat?"
Rogers did not answer. He was more curious about the material of T'Challa's clothes, so he asked, "Are your clothes made of vibranium?"
T'Challa ignored Sam's provocation from the back seat. When he heard Rogers' question, he turned around and answered irrelevantly: "Black Panther, who has been protecting Wakanda for generations, is a natural warrior. This warrior's mantle has been passed down from generation to generation."
His voice suddenly became icy cold. "Now, because your friend killed my father, I have to inherit the throne. Now, I want to ask you, you are both a warrior and a king, how can you protect your friend? How long can you protect him? The people of Wakanda can spend their entire lives to avenge their former king. What about you? Can you protect your friend for the rest of your life?"
Rogers was speechless for a moment. He could sense the strong hostility and firm determination in T'Challa's cold tone, and knew that he was deeply prejudiced. Even if he explained that Bucky did not have the time to commit the crime, he could not produce evidence, and he was not sure about T'Challa's attitude towards Lin Feng and the gods. If he was not careful, it would only backfire. In desperation, Rogers had to turn to the window.
Police cars drove into the United Nations Berlin branch one after another, and there were people waiting to pick up Rogers and Sam.
Rogers turned his head and took a look. Bucky in the prison van had a complicated expression, looking relieved but also confused. Black Panther, who was following closely behind him, also turned his head and took a look to confirm Bucky's location.
The surrounding police officers and soldiers were strictly disciplined and carried out the handover and security work in an orderly manner, making it seem difficult to take action.
Rogers was relieved to see that Bucky had no intention of running away. He turned around and walked towards a man who looked like a superior. "Hello, sir, what are you going to do with him?"
"Logically, you should do the same as him. First conduct a psychological assessment, then extradite him, and finally confirm the charges and execute the sentence." The officer looked at Rogers unkindly.
Sharon explained, "This is Mr. Everett Ross, the deputy commander of the task force."
Rogers didn't care about his identity. He was more concerned about Bucky, so he asked, "What about his defense lawyer?"
"Lawyer? How ridiculous." Ross sneered and did not answer. He turned around and ordered, "Lock up all their equipment and keep it properly. There may be something gifted by God. You must treat it with caution and don't blaspheme it." Then he looked at Rogers and said, "I respect Lin Feng, the leader of your Avengers. I know he can help you get back the gift from God. Don't worry, I will give you a receipt. This is just a temporary withholding. When the incident is over, you will get your things back."
Rogers could tell from his words that the nature of Bucky's arrest was so bad that he didn't even hire a defense lawyer. Of course, no one dared to defend the Hydra killer. It seemed that the most urgent task was to clear Bucky of suspicion, otherwise everything would be in vain.
However, does he still have a chance? Is it too late? Bucky has been arrested and a psychological evaluation is about to begin. How much time does he have?
Rogers had mixed feelings. He turned around again and looked at Bucky worriedly.
Bucky looked at Rogers, wanting to say something but stopping himself, and finally smiled.
Rogers looked at Bucky's smiling face and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Near the power station, a truck loaded with large mail drove towards the residence of the power station maintenance worker.
A bespectacled psychiatrist entered the United Nations Berlin office under the protection of staff. He was Doctor Laika, and his mission was to conduct a psychological assessment of the Winter Soldier.
In a corner where no one was paying attention, a barely perceptible sneer flashed across Dr. Leica's lips.
Ross was slightly shorter than the others, but he walked confidently in front and led the way. The three people following him were an elite soldier from the special forces, a veteran who had experienced World War II and had been frozen for more than 70 years, and a natural warrior. They were all burly, making him look even smaller. However, he had a strong aura, not timid at all, and full of confidence. He first said to T'Challa, "We will arrange an office for you, please stay away from the cell area."
T'Challa sneered and responded, "I'm not going anywhere." There were a large number of special forces in this United Nations office building. Even if he hated Bucky to the core, he really had no chance to take action at this moment, not to mention that his equipment was temporarily detained.
At this time, Natasha came towards him. She looked at Rogers first and said, "You shouldn't be so impulsive."
Rogers smiled calmly and responded: "At least I know he is still alive, that's enough."
Natasha was a little helpless, then turned to Sam and asked, "What's going on? The professor sent you here to help, not to cause trouble?" Sam smiled bitterly and responded, "Plans can never keep up with changes. Forget it, I was wrong about this, but don't worry too much. Our equipment is still being detained. By the way, Mr. Ross, I don't want to see anyone messing around with our equipment later."
Ross ignored Sam's teasing and turned around, walking towards his office.
Natasha led them directly to the room in front of them. Before the door was fully opened, a voice of a person talking on the phone came from inside.
"Romania is not protected by the convention, but we will do our best to help the Romanian people. This incident did not cause major casualties or property damage. Colonel Rhodes and Ms. Hashimoto are assisting in handling it."
Lin Feng looked up while talking on the phone. The moment he opened the door, he noticed Natasha and others outside the door, so he gestured for them to find a place to sit down and wait for him to finish.
The operation in Bucharest was hasty but highly effective. The United Nations successfully captured Baki, the prime suspect in the Vienna massacre, and no one was seriously injured, only some minor injuries.
However, during the pursuit, some unexpected property damage was caused due to the strafing of armed helicopters.
Considering that these losses were caused by the arrest of Bucky, Lin Feng took the initiative to assume the liability for compensation.
According to the draft of the Sokovia Convention, Lin Feng will be personally responsible for the full compensation for the property losses caused by the gods' inadequate protection. Although the Avengers were involved in this incident, he still resolutely took the compensation.
Even without using divine power, Lin Feng's funds were enough to compensate. The patents on the research of gods had already brought him a lot of income, and even without the injection of Stark's funds, his income was enough to support the daily operation of the Avengers.
Lin Feng was still on the phone with the other party. "No, no, sir, there will be no more conflicts. Even if the other party provokes me first, I will let Rhodes and Ms. Hashimoto exercise restraint and prevent them from clashing with others. Accountability? Of course I will hold them accountable, but this is an internal matter of our Avengers. It seems that you have no right to interfere?"
After hanging up the phone, Rogers heard the word "accountability" and asked in confusion: "Accountability?"
Lin Feng sighed and explained, "Before in Vienna, some anti-God people pointed their spearheads at us, the Avengers, and tried to attack Hashimoto Huanyue and Natasha, which almost caused a violent conflict. In addition, this time you helped Bucky escape from the police, which was of a serious nature. The . Minister of National Martial Arts wants to sue you. He also wants us, the Avengers, to pay attention to our words and deeds. We are related to the gods, but we are completely different. We are supposed to be a tool for maintaining peace, not an organization that conflicts with humans."
Rogers sat down and asked, "The Minister of National Martial Arts of the United States? Could he be..."
Lin Feng knew what he wanted to say and shook his head. "No, Natasha had contact with him, and the detection equipment did not alarm, which means he is not a Kree. We don't know whether he agrees with the US government, but what is certain is that he has not been bewitched, he just wants to hold us accountable. However, he wants to intervene in the accountability within our Avengers, which I cannot agree with. I will not let political elements intervene in the Avengers, and I will not let the Avengers become a political tool."
Rogers was relieved and breathed a sigh of relief. Natasha and Sam looked at each other, not knowing what the two were talking about. Bucky was about to be tried, and Rogers and Sam were suspected of being accomplices. Why were the two not worried at all?
Sure enough, Lin Feng asked Rogers, "Aren't you worried?"
Rogers shook his head. "Now that things have come to this, there's no point in worrying. Since it's already been done, regret and worry are futile. Instead of worrying here, I'd better think about how to help Bucky clear his suspicion. I just feel a little sorry for Sam now. I shouldn't have involved him."
Sam felt warmed when he heard this, and felt that his efforts were worth it. He didn't think he had done anything wrong.
Lin Feng smiled and patted his shoulder. "There will be a chance. But for now, just look at Bucky's psychological evaluation honestly and don't make any more trouble."
Rogers sat down quietly, and Sam and Natasha also remained silent.
The "opportunity" mentioned by Lin Feng not only means that they can help Rogers clear Bucky's suspicion, but also means that they have the opportunity to expose the real murderer. Although he forgot who tried to provoke disputes within the Avengers, he clearly remembered that the person would disguise himself as a psychologist and conduct a psychological assessment for Bucky under the commission of the United Nations, thus waiting for an opportunity to provoke new violent incidents.
Rogers looked at the three people beside him and asked directly: "Professor, does Stark know about this?"
Lin Feng did not turn his head, his eyes were still fixed on the big screen, "He already knows, I have already told him."
Rogers looked around and didn't see Stark. He couldn't help wondering, "Why isn't he here?"
Lin Feng finally turned around and said, "Rogers, if you were here, how would you explain it to him? Are you going to tell him that Bucky is just a controlled killing tool? I'm afraid your conscience will be uneasy, and I don't know if Bucky can accept it. Stark is in a low mood now, and he may not be able to bear this blow. Then, will I just watch you kill each other?"
Rogers was speechless. Indeed, he really hadn't figured out how to explain it to Stark at this moment.
Natasha on the side caught the key information, "Professor, Stark has been in a low mood recently, what happened?"
Lin Feng handed the phone to the three of them. "Breaking news, Stark Clean Energy in the United States suffered a terrorist attack, and the head of the security department, Happy, was seriously injured and hospitalized!"
Rogers stared at the phone screen with concern. They all knew Happy. He was Stark's good friend and a responsible security director, but he was seriously injured in a terrorist attack. Stark must be in a terrible mood at the moment. No wonder Professor Lin Feng said he was depressed.
Indeed, no matter who it was, they would be depressed after learning the truth about the death of their parents and the serious injury of their friends. If they saw Rogers at this time, they might directly attack him in anger.
Lin Feng handed each of them a glass of water. "As far as I know, Stark has developed severe anxiety due to the recent attacks and his concerns about the Kree. Pepper even called the Avengers to complain about Stark's recent work status and mental state. Let's not cause him any more trouble, Rogers. You are the one who caused this. Find the real culprit yourself."
