The famous detective in the comic world

Chapter 354 What Aria Wants
"Oh~" Aria took the money and immediately became happy: "Can I save it?"

"Of course, it's just pocket money...you asked me after you took it all." Annihilation Walker took out a map and observed it: "Go, keep a low profile. Be sure to pay attention to safety and don't cause trouble. The S.H.I.E.L.D. At this."

"Yeah." The life-binding hunter nodded seriously.

"Oh, and. Although I have said it many times, I still have to remind you again." She was about to open the door of the RV when Annihilation Walker raised his head and glanced at her, reminding in a low voice: "It may also be the SHIELD I know, but I don’t want to mess with us, so I’m spying on it… For this reason, we have to pay extra attention to whether there are any suspicious devices or people near our house.”

"Yeah." The life-binding hunter nodded seriously: "I know. If there are any, kill them."

"Hmm. Try to ask something before you kill. Go ahead."

When they first hid here, they chose a very secluded wild area.

No one lived in the neighborhood at all, and the nearest people were in a motel three miles away.

It's sort of a small highway living area.

There are also fast food restaurants, shops, etc.There are also vending machines that sell all sorts of things - including the fortnightly comic magazine that Aria likes.

Aria is basically going to take a walk there.

There are limited staff in the living area, and they figured it out when they first arrived.

Although there is often a flow of people in this place, almost all of them just stay for a while and then leave.

A night or two at most, usually not too long.

So if there is an outsider who always lives here and does not leave, he may be a SHIELD agent who was sent to monitor because he discovered the trace of the two.

...The so-called surveillance does not necessarily have to be very close.

Even if it's three miles away, it's good to have surveillance equipment.

The focus is still on placing people in as close an area as possible to facilitate movement.

At this moment, Aria opened the car door and was about to leave.

However, Annihilation Walker suddenly remembered something, stopped her again, and gave her another ten dollars.

"Huh? Master, is this...?"

"I haven't bought the new issue of comics yet."

"Uh-huh!"

"Then take it and buy it, and keep the rest of the money."

"Hey hey... thank you master~" Aria hugged him with a happy face: "Master really cares about me~"

"...Okay, don't be smug." Annihilation Walker rubbed her head and smiled wryly: "Let's go. Do you know where home is?"

"Of course I know! I'm not a road idiot."

Aria exited the car door in high spirits.

She pulled the hood down a little more.

She has not been masked.

Not because of fear of being recognized.

It's because, since she hasn't lived a normal life, she doesn't have a real identity to protect.

Then it doesn't matter what it looks like to be seen.

Anyway, because of S.H.I.E.L.D., he couldn't appear in lively public places at will.

Just cover your face with the kind of hood that can be pulled down very low.Basically, it will not be seen in full appearance.

It was because of meeting Aria that Annihilation Walker's thoughts changed, and he developed extreme hatred for S.H.I.E.L.D.

He originally thought that the degeneration of S.H.I.E.L.D. was actually only due to the influence of the government and Hydra.

...It was later discovered that this organization had never been clean.

Aerea is the proof they didn't have time to destroy.

She is the victim of SHIELD's secret anti-human experiments.

"..." Annihilation Walker sighed.

He slightly opened the curtains and looked at Aria's thin figure going away, feeling a pang of bitterness.

Let her play by herself, just hoping to let both of them have some time to be alone.

He couldn't show weakness when Arya was around.

It is my responsibility to create a society where she can live in peace...but can I do it?
… Annihilate the old order, and then try to lead a new society?

The Avengers can't do it, can we really do better...?
Annihilation Walker felt more and more tired.

He has always put on a tough attitude, as if there is nothing to fear.

However, it is very tiring to go on like this.

He's trying to be the hero she can rely on anyway.

But he is not a god after all.

There is a limit to the power of mortals.

He thought many times whether to give up revenge and hide in a distant place.

No one can find them there.

It could be a remote village, a small town...

Maybe building a cabin in the wilderness.

Then live in silence like this until Aria's body collapses.

But this kind of ending, he couldn't be reconciled at all.

He wanted revenge, for himself, and for Aria.

Without watching the S.H.I.E.L.D. come to an end, Annihilation Walker is completely unable to let go of the hatred in his heart.

And...he still needs to find a way to keep Aerea alive.

S.H.I.E.L.D.'s experiments greatly drained the lifespan of the Lifebound Hunter.

Although she appears to be perfectly healthy at the moment, after a while, she will start to have seizures slowly.

Then, not more than five years later, Aerea would die.

He felt that someone in S.H.I.E.L.D. knew how to do it.

He just needs to find out.

...But what if the solution doesn't exist?

Then can't I just find a way to give her the happiest life in these few years?
If so, shouldn't I take her to revenge... Take her to live a good life and realize her dream in the remaining time, okay?
... her dream.

dream……

... I have asked her many times if she has any dreams.

In the end, her dream was not to take revenge on S.H.I.E.L.D., but to live happily with me.

So, she thought she had achieved her dream.

So is my hatred of S.H.I.E.L.D. wishful thinking?Compared with revenge, does she wish to live in seclusion somewhere with me, and then...

……

Annihilation Walker felt the pressure on his back like a mountain, unable to breathe.

He didn't tell Arya the truth, fearing that it would make her sad and not be able to go through each day with peace of mind.

Time is running out, but I still can't find any breakthrough...

... There is no one who is really willing to help me with what I have to do.

People like Bourbon and Stark just tell me to calm down, calm down...then tell me there's nothing they can do about Aria's situation, they have to get the raw data...

...fucking, raw data.

Where does the raw data come from?
Not only S.H.I.E.L.D. has them!
But they also want me to take care of the overall situation, not to conflict with S.H.I.E.L.D., but to negotiate slowly...

...Bullshit negotiations.

They just didn't want to give it, and then lied that they had researched it a long time ago. Aria is an experimental product with a short validity period, and the expiration date is fixed... They call living people like machines!

...but what if they were telling the truth?

There is just no way to save her...then what should I do?
