The Great Winter Soldier

It seems that Matt used his unique radar sense to obtain a lot of information. From this point of view, he is not a "pajama baby" who joined the social security police on a whim, but a well-prepared young hero. .

"You misjudged me, and I'm sorry." Nicole closed her eyes, raised her hand fiercely, and removed one of Matt's shoulders. After ensuring that he had temporarily lost the ability to fight back, she picked up Matt's body. , resisting on the shoulders.

Jessica covered her forehead with one hand. Everything that happened tonight was so "wonderful" that it was beyond what she could bear in her heart.

"You are soldiers, soldiers belonging to this country, or a group of mercenaries?" Matt hung his arms, seeming to have anticipated what Nicole was about to do, and asked hurriedly, even holding back the pain. .

"Send him to the hospital." Xia Tian waved his hand and said to Jessica by the way, "You should go too, don't stay here."

"Everyone is dead, why am I still alive?" Matt was held up by Nicole on his shoulders, and he raised his head hard and "looked" in the direction of Xia Tian, ​​"Why are you sending me to the hospital? I blocked your way, you Not a soft-hearted person.”

Yes, I'm not the kind of soft-hearted person. You're right, why don't I kill you?

Xia Tian finally looked at Matt, lowered his head and smiled helplessly. You don't know anything. Maybe this necklace and this special pendant around my neck have experienced and witnessed more things than you.

Knowing that things are irreversible, Matt is still making his last effort. As long as there is still a glimmer of hope, he will never give up.

In addition to admiration for Matt's attitude, Xia Tian felt more pleased. His only friend since childhood is still firmly walking on the path of "hero". Unfortunately, he can never become a brother in the same trench with him. The fundamental conflict between the two people's values ​​made Xia Tian can only look at Matt from afar.

Matt heard the strange frequency of Xia Tian's heart beating. Although the flaw was very small, he still heard it. His efforts finally paid off. At the last moment, the silent and cold man finally faced himself. Matt didn't know it was him. Which sentence caught Xia Tian's attention, he only knew that he should continue to persist.

Seeing Xia Tian's action, Nicole temporarily gave up her plan to move instantaneously, carried Matt's body, and stayed in place quietly.

"So, soldier, this is just an ordinary mission for you, right?" Matt lowered his head and said with a bitter smile, "Everything happened here."

"Apart from them, how many more deaths are you prepared to cause?" Matt tilted his head slightly, listening carefully to Xia Tian's heartbeat, "I bet you have done this task many times, maybe 10 times, 20 times, 100 times. This is your profession. career, right?”

Matt did not get a response from Xia Tian, ​​but he felt the arms wrapped around his waist tighten slightly. Matt knew that he had hit the mark on the characteristics of this team: "How long have you been living like this for a year or two? Or...lifetime"

"I can feel from Ms. Summer that you have never rested...never stopped at this pace." Matt's trembling voice gradually returned to calm, and his body suddenly became light and slipped from Nicole's shoulders. When he came down, Nicole grabbed his collar with one hand.

"This is the fifth year of your career... no, um... the second year, or the third year, right?" Matt listened to Nicole's heartbeat, feeling Nicole's Breathing, he typed out the most authentic answer in an extremely extreme way. Although Matt knew that the leader of this team was the silent man in the distance, he also knew that the woman in front of him with some strange emotions was the real breakthrough. Although Matt didn't know why she was full of complicated emotions towards him, Just like the last time they met in the orphanage, Matt was confused, "You know, some people die unnecessarily. You can stop, Ms. Summer, leave here, leave this life, don't let people die anymore." I will die because of you.”

"Leave here and leave this life." Nicole slowly helped Matt sit next to the pillar, looked back at Xia Tian, ​​reached out and gently rubbed Matt's dark woolen hood, "Can you do it and leave here? Leave this life behind you”

"Ha..." Matt leaned his back against the pillar, lowered his head, with a hint of bitterness in his smile, "You know, there is a special characteristic of Hell's Kitchen, only a few people are locals.

, and those locals, they don’t want to leave here, and they can’t leave here. They feel that Hell’s Kitchen has become a part of their blood. "

"It seems you know this." Matt still hung his arms, with the back of his head leaning against the pillar, and turned his head to "look" at Xia Tian in the distance whose heartbeat frequency was slightly strange again, "Until one day, something happened They were forced to leave here, they had to leave here, maybe they saw a wider world, saw more faces, and experienced more stories..."

Matt's body trembled slightly, his face gradually became serious, he tilted his head slightly, listening carefully to every move of the man in the distance. Apparently, he realized something: "But there is always something that makes them trapped here, tightly. It entangles them so that they can only come back here, unable to go further or escape further."

Matt took a deep breath and asked in a shaky voice: "You are from New York, right?"

summer:"......"

"You're from New York." Matt repeated, this time in an affirmative tone.

"Once." Xia Tian looked at Matt from a distance, lowered his head, pursed his lips, and whispered.

"Your home is in Hell's Kitchen, right?"

"Once." Xia Tian's voice was still very low, but it was clearly transmitted into Matt's ears.

"Oh, my God." The back of Matt's head hit the pillar gently, and his breathing gradually became faster, "Nicole Summer, Ms. Summer, Summer, Summer..."

"Haha, I thought you were just an ordinary couple who came to the orphanage to adopt a child, old friends." Matt's smile made people feel a little sad and helpless, "Ms. Laura is living a good life now, she will always be like that Kind and enthusiastic.”

Matt raised his head and sighed: "Most of our original playmates have found a good home. Some of them have left here, and some have been living in various corners of Hell's Kitchen. Every Christmas, there will be Some people returned to St. Agnes, but Laura always felt that something was missing. I know that she had been looking forward to seeing you. She wanted to know whether you were doing well and whether you were still taking care of your parents. Troubled by whether the people around you will treat you kindly, how tall you have grown, whether you are in school or already working, or she just wants to know if you are still alive..."

"Hell..." Nicole turned her head and no longer looked directly at Matt's dark hood. She really couldn't stand this kind of reunion, but Matt's ordinary whisper made her eyes slightly dim. red.

Xia Tian was silent for a long time, and nodded gently: "Thank you, Mrs. Laura, for me."

"Don't do this to our family, don't do this to yourself, don't let her down like this." Matt said tremblingly, his hoarse voice drifting over the corpses on the ground, echoing softly in this river of blood. In the martial arts hall, the name was called out for the first time in many years, "Xia Tian, ​​don't do this."

Xia Tian turned around and pulled out the samurai sword from Ji Gangxin's body. Although the wound was not fatal, Ji Gangxin's will was already blurred and he had lost too much blood.

Matt leaned against the pillar and tried to stand up, but Nicole held down his shoulder with a hand. No matter what kind of touch Nicole experienced in her heart, there was one thing she could not shake, and that was the body that would always block Xia Tian. forward.

"His evil deeds are not the reason for you to become a good person. Don't use his evil deeds to justify your actions." Matt was pressed on the pillar, knowing that he could not break through, his voice was a little hoarse, "Please think about it carefully, now The situation is, you don’t want to kill him, but you have to pick up the knife. Or you don’t need to kill him at all, but you want to pick up the knife.”

While Matt was waiting full of expectations, while Jessica was at a loss, and under Nicole's silent gaze, Xia Tian took a samurai sword and stabbed straight into Ji Gangxin's heart.

"No summer, summer," Matt roared angrily, jumped his legs, but was pushed back to the post by Nicole again.

"Perhaps our biggest mistake was that we had an intersection, Matt." Xia Tian turned around and walked out, "I just feel honored that there is only one thing in common between you and me, your belief and my mission: Hell’s Kitchen.”

after all,

You are the Night Stalker. I'm the Winter Soldier. To be continued.
