[Comprehensive] pragmatic theory of coquetry

The roar of the Softail commander stopped abruptly when he reached the building.

Lily got out of the car, took off her helmet, fiddled with the ends of her wind-blown hair, and entered the building with the Winter Soldier.

Even though they were walking side by side, she didn't look at him, and he didn't look at her, they were alienated in a tacit understanding, with no expression on their faces.

When the person at the front desk heard the footsteps, he looked up and was stunned.After all, he didn't say anything, and silently retracted his gaze, pretending that he didn't see anything.

Several people who looked like staff came out of the elevator and ran into these two people head-on. They were calmer than the front desk, but after a glance, they continued the conversation just now as if nothing happened.

The Winter Soldier's indifferent eyes rested on where their hands were concealed by the papers.

The two entered the elevator and stood on the left and the right. Lily could only feel the damp musty smell from the clothes she had been wearing all night. She lowered her head and put the sleeves under her nose to sniff, then she remained silent. Moved two steps to the side of the ground, away from the Winter Soldier.

The elevator went up more slowly than usual.

Maybe it's a good thing.

After reaching the floor, when the two closed doors were opened again, there were eyes full of eyes behind the door, pointing directly at the muzzle of the black hole coming.

The two people who were pointed at by the gun remained motionless, as if they had expected it. Seeing the brown-haired middle-aged man slowly walking out from behind the agent, his face was extremely calm.

The meaning in Pierce's eyes is unpredictable, but it seems that an invisible big hand crushed the Winter Soldier's face, and put it on Lily's head again.

She met his gaze without hesitation.

Such a gloomy atmosphere lasted for quite a while, and everyone present did not move, and it was like entering a frozen silent movie for a while.

Just as Lily was standing in the same position with sore feet, trying to move quietly while others were not paying attention, Pierce finally was willing to raise his precious hand high, and made a gesture of disarming, so that everyone around would be able to take it as soon as they pulled the trigger. The firearms of these two people were temporarily laid off.

"I need an explanation," he said.

Having said that, Pierce turned around and left without giving Lily any time to explain. The surrounding agents rushed up and handcuffed Lily and the Winter Soldier who did not resist.

The Winter Soldier's fighting power is so strong, the handcuffs are naturally tighter, and the fingers are thick and thin, and it takes a lot of effort to saw them open with a saw.

The Winter Soldier was stripped of all the weapons on his body, pushed forward a few steps, and suddenly raised his eyes, the dark green coldness made people startled, and the hand on his back unconsciously withdrew .

"Take them in." Rumlow, who was watching from the side, said.

The pupil of the Winter Soldier moved to the left.

Lily, who was walking slowly on his left, was twisting her wrist to adjust the handcuffs, and calmly said to the agent squeezing her: "I can walk by myself."

He narrowed his eyes, and his military boots took longer steps.

The two were locked in the same room with a barrier in the middle, which didn't hinder seeing each other or talking, and the treatment was unexpectedly good.

Lily sat cross-legged in the corner and played with her fingers, enjoying herself without the slightest sense of being a prisoner.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and when I looked up, it was Andre and some people in white coats walking in.

Andre naturally saw Lily too.

He never asked her out for dinner that day, asked her if she was in the mood for a boyfriend, looked at the Winter Soldier standing against the wall, and felt the hairs on his back. .

"I'll check you up." It took me a long time to hold back the words.

The Winter Soldier was silent.

Andre still had to bite the bullet and take out all kinds of equipment, and stood beside him to work with a few people checking the bionic electronic arm, not daring to vent his breath.

Lily's eyes have been following them since they came in. At this moment, she rested her chin on her hands and watched silently. Seeing that Andre drew another tube of blood from the Winter Soldier's arm, her slender eyebrows frowned imperceptibly.

The inspection was only a matter of a moment. After confirming that there were no problems in all parts, Andre was finally able to wipe off the thin sweat that had been densely covered on his forehead, and left the room with the others with oil on the soles of his feet.

There was silence again.

Being so close, and there was no one else around, Lily never said a word to the Winter Soldier.

There was no clock, and I didn't know how much time had passed. When I was drowsy, Pierce's figure appeared at the door again.

He held a handful of black HKP7 in his hand, and aimed at Lily as soon as he came in.

Rumlow followed behind him, with a communicator on his left ear and a gun in his hand, which was naturally aimed at the Winter Soldier.

"I remember you were supposed to rescue Sandy Thompson yesterday."

Pierce looked at Lily, but the person he was questioning was the Winter Soldier. His tone was calm, without any anger: "But you disappeared before the helicopter took off."

The Winter Soldier looked at him with unwavering eyes and did not speak.

"Action report." Pierce said again.

This time, he got an answer right away.

The low, slightly hoarse voice said, "Hunt for Tom Adrian."

"Who gave the order?"

Pierce narrowed his eyes and repeated word by word: "Who gave the order, soldier?"

The Winter Soldier shook his big hands that were cuffed tightly, and said after a while: "No."

Pierce's eyes became sharper, his face turned to Lily, and he said to Lily who had stood up with a sullen face: "Tom Adrian secretly told that mysterious man in Gotham to betray Hydra...to take you, want to What information do you want?"

Lily said, "I don't know."

Seeing that Pierce's face became a little ugly, she added at the right time: "The soldier arrived in time...he didn't have time to express his intention."

"What about the mysterious man?"

"He was there too. He was wearing a hood so he couldn't see his face. Both of them should still be in Gotham City."

Pierce slowly retracted his gun.The body of the gun tapped his palm lightly, up and down, which seemed to be the rhythm of his thinking.

He picked out one sentence from Lily's words just now and chewed on it: "The soldiers arrived in time. Lily Geers had an accident, and where did you get the news so quickly?"

The Winter Soldier said, "Tom Adrian was still in the mansion."

When he said this, Pierce understood: "He told you. He was sure you would go. Why?"

The other end stopped talking.

Lily didn't speak either.

Silence is not the best way to answer questions, but silence at this time is undoubtedly better than any sophistry, and it makes something obvious.

Rumlow looked slightly surprised, looking at Lily, then at the Winter Soldier.

After a while, Pierce suddenly pulled the corners of his lips and let out a smile. The smile didn't reach his eyes, but his mouth relaxed a little: "Let them go in half an hour. If there is a next time..."

Rumlow thought that he would punish him, or at least wash the Winter Soldier's brains. Who would have expected that there would be only such a light sentence. Although he didn't understand or agree with him, he didn't say anything and nodded in acceptance.

Pierce raised his wrist to look at the time on the watch, as if he had lost the patience to ask questions, he slowly turned and left the room.

Lily was also a little surprised, she turned to look at the Winter Soldier, met his eyes, pursed her lips, and said nothing.

After half an hour, he was finally freed from the shackles on his hands, and when he moved his wrist, it felt a little numb.

Rumlow watched the agent remove the handcuffs from the Winter Soldier, and walked forward and said, "Come with me."

I don't know what to do with him.

Lili had no choice but to go out by herself. The agent with a strange face waiting outside saw her and came forward and said, "I'll take you back."

In the past, this sentence came out of Tom's mouth.

Walking a few steps outside, he saw that the reference room he was in had been replaced by a group of people, and all the things inside were being shaken out for careful inspection.

It's probably useless to check. A shrewd person like him has been able to lurk in Hydra for such a long time, so why would he still leave clues waiting for someone to find out.Lily thought to herself.

She suddenly remembered something, and asked the agent who deliberately walked half an arm's distance from her: "Where's Sandy Thompson?"

The man spoke in a business-like manner: "It has been rescued safely." This is not even going to talk about the process.

"Why didn't I see her?"

"She has an injury on her body, she will not be used for the time being, and she will recuperate on her own."

He probably thought she was talking too much, or she was unwilling to talk too much for other reasons. Lily asked later, but all she got was silence with her mouth tightly shut.

She was also sensible, shrugged, and shut her mouth obediently.

Around the corner is the elevator.

But before the person approached, he heard a man's voice first.

Andre wondered if he didn't know that Lily and the Winter Soldier were released by Pierce so quickly. He was talking to a female agent, forgetting himself for a while, and then his voice became louder: "Of course I have eyes to see, the last time the soldiers came back, there was actually something wrong. , She really had an affair with him, I really didn't expect..."

"Didn't think of anything?"

Before the next words could be spoken, they were overtaken by a voice interrupted halfway.

Andre's body froze, and when he turned around and saw Lily's face full of interest, his first reaction was to stretch his neck to see if the god of death was following her. After a long time since the Winter Soldier came out, he breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hands. :"nothing."

The female agent who spoke to him had already walked away.

Seeing that the agent who was going to take her home didn't urge her, Lili asked again: "Last time you said you wanted to invite me to dinner, so I'm free now."

This sentence even killed the doctor Andre who had suppressed the words that came to his lips. He shook his head desperately, fearing that his neck would roll off his neck before he could take a bite of the meal, and said embarrassingly: "Just kidding, just kidding."

The author has something to say: The last chapter needs to be changed.

It is updated every night, and the daily update ends at the end of the month.

So be it.
