Beauty Man: Infinite Possession

Chapter 288 Missing
"Aunt Peggy, this is the report related to the captain during this period..."

In the room, Sharon Carter, the niece who is also a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, handed over the information in her hand to the gray-haired woman in front of her.

"Thank you, Sharon."

On the bed, Agent Carter, who used to be nimble but is now very old, stretched out his wrinkled palms to take the documents handed by Sharon. Her eyes swept over the familiar face on the documents, and a trace of A look of tenderness.Tremblingly flipping through the documents in his hands, looking at the contents, Agent Carter had a faint smile on his face, with an expression of nostalgia and reminiscence.

She never thought that 70 years later, she would still be able to wait for the news of Steve's resurrection.

Although, the news came a little too late and a little too long ago.

Looking at the aunt in front of her who was caught in memories, Sharon Carter hesitated before she couldn't help saying: "Aunt Peggy, why don't you want to see the captain, you should know that the captain has been looking for you..."

Sharon Carter is no stranger to the relationship between her aunt and Captain America.

In fact, it was precisely because she was influenced by the deeds of Peggy Carter and Captain America in World War II that she chose the same life as her aunt when she grew up and became an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Sometimes, maybe not meeting is the right decision."

Facing his niece's question, Agent Carter took off the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, and shook his head lightly in a gesture of refusal.

The long years have worn away the former Agent Carter who dared to love and hate, and now she is just a dying old woman, without the courage to meet Steve again.Because she was worried that if she met Steve, the young and beautiful Peggy Carter in his heart would no longer exist, replaced by this old woman with gray hair and wrinkled face.

She dared not and would not do it.

If so, she would rather that Steve's impression of herself would stay forever 70 years ago, in that war-torn but unforgettable era.

"Cough cough~"

As he said that, Agent Carter on the bed suddenly started coughing, and Sharon Carter hurried forward and started to pat her on the back. On the bedside table, there were piles of black and white photos of Agent Carter's youthful appearance. It is a variety of medicines in bottles and jars.

The 70 years have taken away her youth, leaving only an old and fragile body.

……

"Then, Aunt Peggy, you have to take good care of yourself."

As an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., Sharon Carter doesn't have enough time, especially since the Avengers just ended a battle not long ago, and S.H.I.E.L.D. is needed for the follow-up finishing work.

"Ah."

Lying on the bed, perhaps because of the medicine he had just taken, Agent Carter was obviously sleepy.

Looking at her aunt who closed her eyes on the bed, Sharon Carter gently closed the door.

After Sharon Carter left, Agent Carter slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the closed door, and then turned his head to look at the information about Steve on the bedside.

"I didn't expect that Agent Carter, who used to be so heroic, has become like this now."

At this moment, a strange and magnetic voice suddenly sounded in the room.

"I just don't know, how would Steve feel if he saw this scene?"

[From Peggy Carter's fame...]

The sudden voice in the room and the content of the other party's words made Agent Carter's face show a look of astonishment. She struggled to prop up her body from the bed, looked in the direction of the voice, and asked sharply: "Who are you?!"

"An old friend I haven't seen in a long time."

Following this answer, a blond, fair-skinned, handsome and inhuman man walked out from the corner of the room.

Dio's eyes swept across Agent Carter on the bed, and a faint smile appeared on his strange face: "I just don't know whether you were surprised by my appearance, or..."

[From Peggy Carter's fame...]

"you are?"

Looking at the man who appeared in front of his eyes, Agent Carter's memory seemed to be pulled back to the past in an instant. The scene where he and Steve met for the first time included the figure of the other party.

"Dior!"

The long memory came back to life, and Agent Carter couldn't help but blurted out, calling out the opponent's name.

"You are not dead!"

In Steve's report, Dio finally died in the flames of the battle with him. However, Dio who appeared in front of him clearly told Agent Carter that Dio was not dead.

"Yeah, I'm not dead." Hearing Agent Carter's words, Dio couldn't help raising his eyebrows, sat down on the chair in front of her, and showed his sharp teeth with a monster smile on his face: " Are you disappointed about this, Carter." While speaking, Dio changed his sitting posture, leaning his body slightly forward to reveal his still young and handsome face: "Actually, I am not dead. , Even my appearance has never changed or aged, the long years can't take away a single bit of my life, but you, Peggy Carter, have aged into such a decayed appearance over the years."

As he spoke, Dio glanced across Peggy Carter's face, and undisguised pity flashed in his eyes.

"At least, I didn't become a monster like you."

Obviously, even after 70 years, Agent Carter still hasn't forgotten what Dior did.

"vampire."

"What is a monster? It seems that even after so long, your thoughts are still as rotten as before, Carter. For me, everything in this world has its meaning. If there is a god in this world If so, then there is only one purpose for him to create humans, and that is to exist as food for vampires, pigs eat grass, humans eat pigs, and I eat humans, and humans are the real masters of all things.”

"What a twisted mind, Dio."

Faced with Dior's shocking remarks, Agent Carter obviously couldn't agree.

"Distorted, maybe what I said is the truth."

Dio didn't care about that at all.

He slowly stood up from the chair and looked at the aging Peggy Carter lying on the bed.

"It's so ugly, Carter. Your current appearance is the best proof. Human beings are too fragile. Even without any pain, time will easily take away your strength. Now you, trapped in this In your ugly body, even without my hands, the pain will easily take you away."

"Are you willing to die so ugly?"

Strolling to the bedside, Dio looked directly at Agent Carter, his words full of bewitching.

"As long as you are willing, I will give you eternal life so that you can regain your youthful appearance."

While talking, Dio took out a pale and weird mask from behind him.

"Stone ghost face."

Looking at the mask in Dior's hand, Agent Carter couldn't help but muttered something.

Agent Carter is no stranger to this mask. It can even be said that this mask is the beginning of everything, and the key to Dior's final choice to become a vampire.

Her eyes stayed on the stone ghost face in Dior's hand for a long time before Agent Carter withdrew her gaze. She closed her eyes gently, and replied weakly but firmly: "I would rather die so ugly than die like this." Live as a monster like you."

clap clap-

Facing Agent Carter's categorical refusal, Dio didn't seem to be angry on his face, but raised his hands and applauded him gently.

"It's really touching. I admit, Carter, I want to see you. Even if you look ugly, you are still the same you. I have to admit..."

In front of him, he said a few words to Carter with a smile.

However, in the next instant, the expression on Dior's face changed suddenly, and the smile on his face also became nasty: "But, why should I listen to you?"

As he said that, before Carter could react, Dio grabbed the stone ghost mask in his hand and suddenly covered the opponent's face.

"I'm looking forward to what kind of expression Steve will have when he learns that you have become a vampire, hahahaha..."

[From Peggy Carter's fame...]

……

"You mean, Peggy Carter is missing?"

S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, Tri-Wing Building.

Nick Fury heard the news from Agent Hill, a look of astonishment flashed in his only intact one eye.

"Agent, are you sure this message is correct."

"Sure, sir." In the face of the doubts expressed by Nick Fury, Agent Hill assured him without hesitation: "I have verified with Agent Sharon Carter that she had seen Peggy during the daytime. Carter, but at night, if you look at the room, there is no trace of the other party."

Hearing the series of assurances from Agent Hill, Nick Fury also believed the news given by the other party.

However, after confirming the authenticity of the news, the expression on Nick Fury's face did not relax at all, but became a little more dignified.

"Can you tell me how an old woman in her 90s disappeared from her room?"

Peggy Carter is not only the former lover of Captain America, but also one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D. Therefore, for this senior who has had a profound influence on S.H.I.E.L.D., both Nick Fury and Agent Hill are quite attention.

"I don't know, sir."

In fact, Nick Fury's question was also the question that Agent Hill had flashed in his heart when he knew the news.

"In fact, I have arranged for special agents to investigate all the people around Peggy Carter's residence, but none of them saw Peggy Carter coming out of her room." As a gray-haired old woman In a sense, Peggy Carter is also a very conspicuous target, but the strange thing is that no one who lives nearby has found any trace of the other party.

Even the camera on the side of the road did not find any pictures of Peggy Carter walking by.

"I suspect that there is a weirdness in it, and the possibility of contained objects is not even ruled out."

In doubt, Agent Hill put forward his own guess.

Containment has been one of the most concerned targets within S.H.I.E.L.D. recently. With the emergence of the SCP Foundation and the containment effect frequently shown by containment expert Long, especially the Avengers have fought in person before The existence of the [Dog Charm] and [Dragon Charm] contained objects, which greatly increased Nick Fury's attention to the contained objects.

Even, when he learned that the containment effect of the [Dog Charm] that appeared in the previous battle of the Avengers was actually able to produce undead magic, even the determined Nick Fury was slightly shaken at this moment.After all, this is an immortal body. Even if Natasha learned about the side effects of the containment, it still couldn't erase Nick Fury's desire for this spell.

If you can get this [Dog Charm], for S.H.I.E.L.D., it is undoubtedly a powerful weapon that is not weaker than Loki's Scepter. With the end of the New York War, Thor took away the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, and now God Only the magic scepter used by Loki was left in the shield.

It's a pity that although Nick Fury's idea is good, it's a pity that the spell was contained by Long, a containment expert from the Foundation, so it shouldn't have been contacted by Nick Fury at all.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

Turning his thoughts back and forth, facing Agent Hill's inference, Nick Fury nodded his head lightly.

Indeed, if it was the power of the contents, it would indeed be able to make Peggy Carter disappear in her room without anyone noticing.

During this period of time, at the request of Nick Fury, S.H.I.E.L.D. has also collected some items with special abilities.

Most of these are the products of experimental accidents or mutations. In the past, Nick Fury might only use them as experimental scientific products.However, since he learned about the concept of containment, Nick Fury looked at these objects again, and always thought that these were also a kind of containment, containment made by humans.

"Whether it's the effect of the containment or any other reason, we must get Peggy Carter back."

After thinking for a while, Nick Fury gave an order to Agent Hill again.

Due to emotion and reason, they all had to take action for the founder of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Even, in the depths of Nick Fury's heart, it is actually very clear that the possibility of being able to find the other party is almost slim.

"As ordered, sir."

He nodded and agreed without hesitation, and then Agent Hill showed a look of hesitation on his face, and asked the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. in front of his stomach, "Well, sir, about the news about Peggy Carter's disappearance, Do we need to tell the captain?"

"..."

Facing Agent Hill's inquiry, Nick Fury was silent for a moment before replying in a deep voice.

"unnecessary."
