The Great Winter Soldier

Some people say that everyone has two lives.

The first time was the moment you were born.

The second time is when you know why you were born.

Darwin was lucky. He experienced these two lives. Although he stumbled, he did it.

It is said that everyone has three moments of death.

The first time is when your heart stops beating, meaning your body dies.

The second time is when people come to your funeral, meaning you are dead in society.

The third time is when you are forgotten by everyone, which means you are dead forever.

Darwin is also lucky. Perhaps, he will not be remembered by anyone in his hometown, and no one will pay attention to this unknown ordinary person. However, he is Nicole's first work. As a work that brings Nicole extremely complex emotions, perhaps he will not be easily forgotten by Nicole. In Nicole's long life, perhaps Darwin would not die easily.

In the deep mountains and old forests behind the villa, Xia Tian and his group were standing in front of a tombstone in black windbreakers. Such a simple funeral seemed particularly depressing.

Nicole was in a bad mood, and Xia Tian could feel it. During these 18 days, Darwin experienced a nightmare journey, so why not Nicole? , he couldn’t be clearer.

"I'm sorry." Nicole spoke softly, with a sad face. She didn't know if she was saying this to Darwin, to Xia Tian, ​​or to herself.

"At least he died on the road of chasing his dream. Compared to living a humiliating life, this is already good. His father will be proud of him." Xia Tian reached out and patted Nicole's shoulder.

Nicole didn't react at all. She still lowered her head slightly, looking down at the tombstone in front of her. The breeze was blowing her long hair, which was a little messy. Maybe it was the same as her mood at this time.

"Perhaps, his father did not want such a result, and even Darwin himself did not think of such a result." In the silence, with only the rustling of the leaves in the wind, Nicole suddenly spoke, "We are just doing it at the right time." Time spoke demagogic words, leading him to embark on a path that he would never choose."

Xia Tian's pupils shrank slightly. Until now, he still didn't know how much this incident had touched Nicole's heart. At this moment, he seemed to understand a little. This was the first time she had truly questioned herself, which was enough to show that That's a lot. The long 18 days, for Nicole, maybe every minute was full of hardships, which is why it is so unforgettable.

"He is different from me. I had already decided to commit suicide at that time. I had nothing to lose." Nicole put a strand of flying hair behind her ears and turned her head slightly to look at Xia Tian, ​​"But he is different. He Having decided to escape Harlem and start a new life, he will survive regardless of whether his new life takes him down the same old path. Perhaps his father, including Darwin himself, just wanted him to survive."

"Perhaps, not everyone is like us and wants this life to bloom brilliantly. They may be used to withering and everything that fate imposes on them. They just want to live a simple and humble life, and we But they cruelly changed their style and took away the last trace of their way of life." Nicole finally turned around and looked at Xia Tian with burning eyes.

Suddenly, for a moment, Xia Tian wanted to let Hydra's personality take over. Why should I ask myself why I want to complicate all this? It is a small thing, an ordinary person, who once could become a tool, now The guy who turned into a corpse, that's all.

Mike, who was cleaning the fallen leaves on the side, sighed heavily in his heart. Having worked in a mutant manufacturing factory for a long time, he had already expected such a result. In fact, it was unexpected that Nicole was successfully transformed into a mutant. Something Mike expected.

Looking at the tombstone in front of him, Mike remembered the black guy who went out to buy groceries with him more than half a month ago. Mike sighed and shook his head. The man and woman in front of them are really different from Ajax and Sand Angels who owned the mutant manufacturing factory back then.

Xia Tian looked at Nicole silently

Eyes, among the falling leaves, slowly walked out of the sight of the two people.

"If my belief is shaken, then what way should I use to survive in this world?" Xia Tian said softly, remembering what he once said to Nicole: Don't let anyone question you, no one has such a Qualifications, no one.

Although he was saying insincere words, Xia Tian's eyes were a little confused. In the final analysis, he was not the real Winter Soldier, not the complete Hydra elite. The fragmented beliefs had been growing up with him, so Xia Tian was in the end. He broke through the control of Hydra and escaped from that dim world. Deep down in his heart, he was just an ordinary child. His thoughts were influenced by various concepts imposed on his brain, and he was influenced by one thing after another. An unexpected incident disturbed my mind.

Am I really wrong?

Xia Tian held his own metal arm with his right hand, his eyes skipping over the mottled red five-star. The ordinary boy who had just emerged in his heart was slowly suppressed.

Everyone will have tragic experiences, this is life, this is the main theme of life.

But, I don't care about you.

So, you can't impress me.

Xia Tian clenched his fists and walked in this deep forest with yellowing autumn leaves. The sparse branches and the sweeping leaves blocked the radiant sun in the sky, allowing only a small amount of sunlight to shine on Xia Tian's back. superior.

In the evening, the quiet villa seems to be calling out to the quiet forest to see who is more silent.

Xia Tian, ​​who was lying on the bed, felt the door of the room being pulled open, and a figure walked in hesitantly, and finally came to his side.

"I'm sorry, I didn't want to be like this. His death disturbed my mind." Nicole said softly, and you could hear that she was a little depressed. "He just reminded me of the person I used to be. I thought about my other ending. I knew that I could willingly accept my other ending. I just thought that he might not be able to bear it, and he deserved a better outcome."

Xia Tian nodded and said nothing.

"Don't do this to me, Xia Tian." Nicole held the metal arm with both hands, holding it tightly, and her soft lips lightly pressed on the exquisite metal arm. Unfortunately, Xia Tian couldn't feel anything. Her voice could only be heard: "Give me some reaction, especially at a time like this."

Xia Tian finally made a move and hugged the woman's body to his right side. Compared to the coldness of his left arm, at least the flesh and blood of his right arm could give her more warmth.

"He is not a villain. He is different from those villains. He is a purely good person, just a little cowardly." After receiving Xia Tian's response, Nicole felt relieved a lot and hugged Xia Tian's arm and said softly.

Sure enough, no matter which world we are in, people are always more tolerant of the dead. In the world of summer, there are many movie stars and singers. After their death, many of their works have reached the level of becoming a god. To the point, of course, it must be admitted here that the quality of their work is very excellent. People will give these dead people more tolerance and praise, and will selectively ignore the mistakes they made and magnify their advantages infinitely.

Obviously, at this time, Nicole's attitude towards Darwin was much better and more tolerant.

"Compared to death, living is the problem you have to face." Xia Tian said softly. For Nicole, who has always killed without restraint, it was a bit unexpected for Xia Tian that the death of an ordinary person had such a big impact on her. expected.

Her unique experience and unique personality have made her unique. Having blood on her hands is not inconsistent with pity for life. It's just that in Xia Tian's heart, Nicole's positioning became clearer. She was not a pure villain, let alone a hero. Maybe the title "anti-hero" was more suitable for her.

Nicole raised her head slightly, looked into Xia Tian's eyes, and nodded silently for a long time.

After seeing Nicole's feedback, Xia Tian gently held Nicole in his arms, and deliberately ignored many things that happened today. Xia Tian knew what he really cared about. He had chosen to take this step and chose With Nicole in my arms, I must unswervingly fulfill my mission and responsibility.

For someone with a contradictory personality like Xia Tian, ​​having more responsibility for the family might not be a bad thing.
