Chapter 197: Page 197

[Outside the hospital, Black Widow Vermouth anxiously drove to the hospital alone in the middle of the night. According to the location sent by Captain Rogers, Black Widow Vermouth ran directly to the room where Captain Rogers was. As for her apprentice, Baigui Jivia, because she didn't live with her and Rogers told her not to make it public, and it was late, Black Widow Vermouth didn't bring her here.]

[As soon as Black Widow Vermouth entered the ward, she saw Captain Rogers, who looked very serious, and through the glass inside the room, she could see King who was undergoing surgery in the opposite room.]

“Will he make it?”

[Black Widow Vermouth said.]

【"I have no idea."】

[“What does a killer look like?”]

[Black Widow Vermouth asked. ]

[“Fast, strong, and has a metal arm.”]

【At this time, Agents Twilight and Yor also came in and looked at King. Twilight clenched his fists. If he could have arrived faster, perhaps his superior King would not have been seriously injured and dying in the operating room. Although he successfully invited the best surgeon here, Twilight was still very worried.】

[“Ballistic analysis?”]

[“Three bullets, no rifling, completely unrecognizable.”]

[Agent Twilight heard Black Widow Vermouth ask.]

“He’s dying.”

[Black Widow Vermouth noticed King in the operating room and said.]

【“The ambulance is coming soon.”】

【“Nurse, pull the sheet open.”】

[“Blood pressure has dropped. Electric shock is needed.”]

【“Charge to 100 joules.”】

[At this time, the operating room saw that King's life was rapidly declining, and they began to rush to rescue him. ]

【“King, you can’t die.”】

[Black Widow Vermouth murmured as she looked at King who was lying unconscious on the operating table.]

【“Stand back. Three, two, one.”】

【At this time, electric shocks also began in the operating room. 】

“Is there a pulse?”

【But King still has no pulse. 】

【"No."】

[“Charge to 200 joules.”]

[The doctor in charge of the electric shock also increased the intensity of the shock.]

【“Three, two, one, start.”】

[“Injecting adrenaline, is there a pulse?”]

【"No."】

Hoshino Aiku and Ai Hai looked at King who was rescuing a patient in the operating room inside the light curtain and recalled when she was a doctor performing surgery. However, she was a gynecologist and her main responsibility was to welcome the arrival of new life. At this time, the doctor on the light curtain was responsible for snatching life from the hands of death.

【“King, you can’t do this. You can’t die.”】

[Vermouth looked at King in the light curtain. As someone who worked for others and had worked in two organizations, Vermouth felt like an actor when she was in the winery. She was an actor from the moment she woke up to the moment she closed her eyes and even in her dreams, and she needed to play her role well all the time.]

[After being spotted by Hawkeye Shirou Emiya and recruited by King as an agent of ., Vermouth was given a new name, Black Widow, and she also felt that her life was much better than before. 】

[Captain Rogers also walked out of the room.]

[“What time is it now?”]

[“One point and three points.”]

[Twilight looked at his watch and said.]

【At this time, King's death was completely declared in the operating room. 】

[“Time of death: 1:03 .”]

[Agent Twilight also held his wife Agent Yoel's shoulder and walked out of the room, unable to bear to look at Director King lying on the operating table, who had already left them.]

"No, King, you were assassinated just like that?"

Saitama said with some disbelief. As the director of ., Saitama supposedly thought that even if King died, it would happen in a very important situation, such as the invasion of the Chitauri. Moreover, his death would have a very significant effect, such as the death of Agent Nishikata strengthening the unity of the Avengers.

Now he is told that King was directly assassinated by the enemy.

"I am just an ordinary person, with only flesh and blood."

"Since the enemy is assassinating me and sending such a force, it will be difficult for me to escape even if I want to."

King said this very calmly, as if the person lying on the operating table on the screen was not him but a completely unrelated person.

"Mr. King is so open-minded and has already put life and death aside. I guess he has been prepared for this day since he took the position of Director of SHIELD. I really admire him."

Genos on the side said as he looked at King who had a calm expression.

[Rogers looked at the USB flash drive in his hand. This was something King gave him before he passed out. I guess those guys came for this thing.]

338: . version of the Hongmen Banquet

[Captain Rogers clenched his fist and held the USB firmly in his palm. As something King had given him before his death, Captain Rogers was determined not to let those guys get it, and he would also catch all the murderers who killed King and bring them to justice.]

[Inside the hospital morgue, King's body was temporarily stored here. Black Widow Vermouth looked at King lying on the cold bed and had completely left them. A crystal tear flowed through her eyes. In the room, Rogers put his hands in his pockets and kept playing with the USB flash drive. Captain Rogers wanted to ask Black Widow Vermouth about the USB flash drive and what content she copied from the launch ship, and why it brought King to his death.]

[At this time, Agent Twilight also walked in. Although Twilight was also in a low mood, he still pulled himself together and leaned against the wall like Rogers did and spoke to Captain Rogers.]

[“We need to take Director King’s body away.”]

[Rogers naturally knew that he couldn't just leave King's body in the hospital. If the people who dared to assassinate King knew that King's body was left in the hospital, they would definitely come to the hospital to steal King's body. Captain Rogers felt that it would be much better to bring King's body back to . for storage than to leave it in the hospital.]

[Captain Rogers walked over and said to Black Widow Vermouth.]

【“Vermouth.”】

[Black Widow Vermouth did not respond to Captain Rogers' words, but patted King's face as if saying her final goodbye, and then turned around and walked out of the morgue.]

"Um......"

"It's unimaginable."

Conan Edogawa looked at Vermouth on the light curtain and couldn't imagine that this woman could be so depressed. Although this woman was very good at disguising and acting, from the light curtain, it seemed that the Black Widow Vermouth's sadness over the death of Director King did not seem to be acted out, but a true expression of her feelings.

------

"Huh, this woman."

Gin looked at the sad Vermouth on the light screen, and thought that if the boss of their winery died, Vermouth would not only not cry, but it would be considered good that she didn't open the champagne.

【“Vermouth.”】

[Captain Rogers was also afraid that Black Widow Vermouth would do something irrational out of grief, so he chased after her.]

[“Why did King go to your house?”]

[Black Widow Vermouth, who was stopped by Captain Rogers, also turned around and questioned Captain Rogers. ]

【"I don't know either."】

[Captain Rogers originally wanted to tell Black Widow Vermouth that King was being hunted, but he thought of the USB flash drive King handed to him before his death and King's words to him not to trust anyone, so he did not tell Black Widow Vermouth the truth. ]

【"I don't know either."】

[“Captain, they asked you to return to .”]

【At this time, Crossbones Nobuyuki came over from behind and said to Captain Rogers. 】

【“Okay, wait a moment.”】

[After Rogers finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to continue talking to Black Widow Vermouth, but then he heard Crossbones Nobuyuki's urging. ]

[“They asked you to go back immediately.”]

【Crossbones Sugo Nobuyuki was not dismissed by Rogers but spoke with a slightly stronger tone.】

【"OK."】

[Rogers looked back at Crossbones and nodded solemnly, and then Crossbones turned and left.]

[“You’re really bad at lying.”]

[Black Widow Vermouth looked at Captain Rogers and said that she could tell at a glance that Captain Rogers' answer to her was false. After she finished speaking, Black Widow Vermouth turned around and left.]

[“The Howling Commandos escort Captain Rogers back to .”]

[Captain Rogers also heard the voice of Crossbones Nobuyuki behind him. He seemed to be concerned about Captain Rogers to prevent him from being assassinated by the enemy like King. But in fact, Captain Rogers also saw that there was something wrong with Crossbones Nobuyuki. Rather than escorting him back to ., it was more like escorting him to .]

"The Hongmen Banquet."

"Should we start clearing out King's direct lineage within ."

Light Yagami looked at the light curtain and saw that the Howling Commandos under Shido Koichi were escorting Captain Rogers back to . and said that it was obvious that the extent of Hydra's infiltration into . might be beyond Light Yagami's imagination. Light Yagami felt that he had underestimated Hydra's infiltration into .

Moreover, the Fourth Palace Yellow Light Yagami Light also felt that there must be something wrong with the other party, and the so-called Insight Plan Yagami Light did not seem to be the prevention and targeting of criminals as King told Captain Rogers at the beginning.

Light Yagami feels more like a weapon used by the Hydra organization to deal with anyone who stands in their way.

"If Rogers can survive this Hongmen Feast, he should seek help from others. After all, he is outnumbered."

Gordon said that if Captain Rogers were to deal with the entire Hydra organization alone, Gordon felt it was a bit unrealistic.

"We will certainly look for someone, but as for how many people we will look for and who we will look for, I don't know what Captain Rogers will think. After all, there is also the influence of King's words about not trusting others easily, which should make Rogers more or less suspicious."

"The Avengers should be trustworthy."

"But getting here and making contact is a problem."

L's words also made Gordon speechless. It was indeed as L said, Captain Rogers should now have more or less felt King's situation at that time.

[“Let’s go.”]

[Captain Rogers knew that he couldn't dodge, so he walked towards Crossbones Nobuyuki. Since he couldn't dodge, Captain Rogers planned to face him head-on and crush him.]

[“Okay, Howling Commandos, let’s go.”]

[What no one noticed was that the USB drive was no longer on Rogers. Knowing that going to SHIELD might be risky, Captain Rogers hid the USB drive in a corner of the hospital.]

[“Anyway, you’ve done your best.”]

"Thank you, sir."

[Inside the SHIELD headquarters, Sigong Huang Guang praised a female secretary in front of him, and the female secretary also smiled with joy. ]

339: Sato Kazuma: This inexplicable sense of déjà vu

【“Captain Rogers.”】

[The female secretary who was full of joy just now turned around after noticing the arrival of Captain Rogers. The smile on her face was like a group of 50-dollar good brothers who were just passing by and were ambushed by the poisonous baneling buried underground. In an instant, a large group of good brothers disappeared. ]

[The secretary's change also made Rogers feel a little strange, as if the secretary was hostile to him. And most importantly, Captain Rogers recognized that the secretary was the nurse opposite him. It seemed that she was indeed a spy planted by his side. I guess what she said about King sending her was also false. ]

[“Captain, I am Sigong Huangguang.”]

[“Sir, it’s an honor to meet you.”]

[Sigong Huangguang shook hands with Captain Rogers in a harmless and approachable manner. Captain Rogers had a vague feeling that there was something fishy going on but he was not sure, especially because of Sigong Huangguang's high status.]

[“I should be the one who feels honored. Captain, come in.”]

[Sigong Huangguang said very modestly, and then took Captain Rogers into his office.]

[“This photo was taken five years after King and I met. At that time, I was not working here yet. I was a congressman in another place and was surrounded by terrorists. The guards there helped me escape, but the terrorists took the hostages away. King was the head of . in the local area at that time.”]

[Sigong Huangguang looked at Captain Rogers holding a photo of himself and King and pretended that he and King had a very good relationship, and spoke in a tone of regret as if he was recalling the past.]

"He came up with a plan to raid through the sewers, and I said no, we'll negotiate."

[“As it turned out, the terrorists refused to negotiate with us, so we ordered a kill-on-sight attack. They searched the basement, and what did they find? It was empty.”]

"King never took my direct orders. He always took the initiative to order missions, rescuing dozens of government officials and my daughter."

[Sigong Huangguang said, Captain Rogers listened to Sigong Huangguang's words and felt that it was indeed describing King. ]
