Chapter 1059: Suspect, James Barnes in prison

The United Nations building was attacked by a bomb.

A bomb placed on a news vehicle destroyed the United Nations building in Vienna.

At least twelve people were killed and more than seventy were injured, including Wakanda's King T'Chaka.

Authorities released a video of the suspect, who they identified as former Howling Commandos member James Buchanan Barnes.

According to relevant intelligence, James Barnes has worked in the Sentinel Special Service for the past two years and has arrested many evil mutants who have committed crimes. However, during the United Nations meeting, he disappeared inexplicably...

Aaron almost couldn't help laughing out loud as he watched the enlarged image of James Barnes wearing a hood on the TV screen.

This is definitely not Barnes, someone is setting him up.

But this has nothing to do with him. As long as Barnes doesn't pray to his master, it means he has the ability to handle it, so there is no need to meddle in it.

On the contrary, if someone could find something for his family to do, he would be happy to see it happen.

Only when they realize the importance of strength will they work harder to digest the potion.

T'Challa sent his father to the nearest hospital, secretly arranged for a guard to guard him, and then returned to the scene of the crime in a menacing manner.

"Did you find out anything?" T'Challa asked.

"MI6 has been notified, and the micro-forensics team will be here soon." Natasha said hesitantly, "I'm sorry, but it may not be Barnes."

"T'Challa, the task force will decide who will capture Barnes."

"No need, Ms. Romanoff." T'Challa clenched his fists tightly. "I will kill him myself."

"You have to find him first." Aaron interrupted meaningfully, "But maybe it's not him! There are so many ways to change one's appearance these days.

Besides, with Barnes’s ability, if he didn’t want people to know, his face wouldn’t be captured by the surveillance camera at all.”

T'Challa frowned slightly, "You are a fortune teller, can you tell his location?"

"Yes, but I refuse." Aaron waved his hand and explained patiently, "The most important thing for me right now is to get Wanda to land safely. I won't get involved in other things if I can. It would be bad if it causes any unnecessary trouble."

T'Challa seemed to understand his concerns and nodded, "I understand. Wakanda will not trouble outsiders with this matter."

“Besides, no matter what the reason, Mr. Gaius, you saved my father and the King of Wakanda after all.

Wakanda will never forget this kindness. If you need anything in the future, you can always contact us."

"Don't worry, I will definitely not be polite when the time comes."

As soon as T'Challa turned to leave, Natasha's phone rang. She looked at the caller ID and her expression immediately became subtle, "Hello!"

"Are you okay?" Steve's voice came from the phone.

"It's OK, thank you for your concern, I'm lucky." Natasha hesitated for a moment and stood up and said, "I know how much you care about Barnes, really.

But stay home and don't come out.

You're only going to make the situation worse and make it harder for all of us, please."

"Are you saying you're going to arrest me?"

“No, but if you make a move, someone will catch you.

Before the UN incident comes to an end, as long as SHIELD has not officially accepted you, you cannot act freely. "

"If he's like this, Xiaona, then I should be the one to catch him."

"why?"

"Because I'm the last person to die from this." Steve said, "Is Aaron with you now? Please let him answer the phone."

"Tell him I'm not here."

"You'd better tell him yourself!"

Natasha put the phone directly to Aaron’s ear, and he rolled his eyes in annoyance, “Steve Rogers, I can guess what you want from me.

My answer is just two words: no. "

Steve paused, then said thoughtfully, "We all know that Bucky would never do such a terrorist attack. He, he has long since bid farewell to his identity as the Winter Soldier. There is no reason for him to do this.

But if we can’t find him, his suspicion will only grow.”

“I called the Sentinel Special Service. He was called away by a phone call some time ago and has not appeared since.

They thought Bucky was on some secret mission and didn't suspect anything.

I also asked Fury, but even SHIELD's intelligence system couldn't find him in a short time.

It's as if he has disappeared from the face of the earth. Only your compass can help you find him in the shortest possible time."

"I'm sorry, Steve, I understand how you feel, but please also understand my difficulties.

Now is a critical period for Wanda to retire smoothly. What I need most at this time is to keep a low profile and fade out of everyone's sight as much as possible."

"I don't need your help, but I need your compass."

"I'm sorry, no." Aaron said, hung up and threw the phone to Natasha.

"Is it really so inhumane?"

"It's not that I'm unkind, the question is how many people are watching you right now?

Especially Steve Rogers, he is definitely the focus of attention." Aaron said meaningfully, "Finding Barnes is not necessarily a good thing, because if he is found, it means that the task force has also found him.

Do you think Steve could take on a fully armed elite squad?

Yes, of course he could have done it, not to mention he had Falcon to help him, but the prerequisite was that this elite team was an enemy.

If they were not enemies, they would have surrendered once they were surrounded. At that time, the Gaius Compass would have been the spoils of the task force.

Do you think the Secretary of State will return it to its original owner?"

"Uh..." Natasha shook her head with a strange look on her face, "Probably not, no, definitely not.

Ross would regard the compass as the key to his promotion. Only with it could he accurately find anyone or anything he wanted to find.

As long as he controls the task force, his contributions will continue, but..."

"That's it." Aaron spread his hands, "For those who want to climb up, the value of Gaius Compass is self-evident.

But your future task force may live a happy life all year round, and as for the consequences of such extreme behavior... I don't think the Secretary of State should care."

"If you say so, Steve really can't find him.

But what if the Secretary of State finds him first?" Natasha asked worriedly, "Ross doesn't care whether Barnes is wrongly accused or not. If he doesn't surrender after being found, he could be shot on the spot."

"Then find out the truth about this explosion before the task force finds Barnes.

The problem is that half of the Avengers have joined the task force, two have retired, two are missing, and two have switched jobs...

Tsk tsk tsk! Those who joined the task force had no choice, those who retired could not show up, those who disappeared could not be taken care of, and as for those who changed jobs... I am afraid they could not move until they successfully changed jobs, otherwise they would inevitably end up in jail."

Natasha nodded solemnly, "I understand. I will try my best to convince them. As for Barnes... we can only find external help."

"It's good to understand. Reliable foreign aid is very important at this time..."

Before she could finish her words, Natasha walked away with her phone.

Aaron curled his lips as he looked at her back, and added silently: "Take S.H.I.E.L.D. for example. After all, Barnes' job in the Sentinel Service was arranged by Nick Fury."

......

An abandoned factory.

Water drops dripped from the ceiling, making a pitter-patter sound.

James Barnes opened his eyes dazedly, and then he found that his metal arm was pressed by a large machine, and his right arm and other parts of his body were tied with chains, making it difficult for him to move.

A long infusion tube was connected to his left hand, and transparent nutrient solution was infused into his body through the tube, preventing his weak body from collapsing.

In a trance, he recalled what happened before he fell into a coma, and a strange phone call interrupted his normal life.

Originally he thought it was a dead sales pitch and didn't want to pay any attention to it, but the unknown stranger actually said he wanted to talk to him about Stark, not Tony Stark, but his father Howard Stark.

He couldn't just pretend nothing happened, because after his memory was restored, he clearly remembered everyone he killed during his time as the Winter Soldier, including the Howards.

Originally, this would be a secret in his heart, accompanying him as he left this universe and then being taken to the grave forever.

But I didn't expect that there were still people who knew these secrets. Even after decades, they still wouldn't let me go.

At the agreed time, he went to a German-run coffee shop and ordered a cup of coffee during the extremely agonizing wait, but lost consciousness after just one sip.

"Are you awake?" A man with a stern face and a cold temperament was sitting on a chair, looking at him indifferently.

Bucky couldn't help but sneer when he heard the familiar voice, "You're the one who asked me out?"

"It's me. I made you a cup of coffee myself. How does it taste?"

"Not bad, but the aftereffect is a bit strong."

“I added some special stuff in it. You super soldiers are totally unreasonable. Ordinary medicine won’t have any effect.

But you are indeed unreasonable, waking up a little faster than I expected."

Bucky chuckled, "How long have I been asleep?"

The man did not answer directly, but pointed to the medicine bottles piled more than a meter high next to Barnes and said, "I'm sorry, in order to avoid any accidents, I can only take care of you as a vegetable."

"Hydra?"

“No, I have nothing to do with Hydra.

Let me introduce myself, my name is Zemo, and I am from Sokovia."

Bucky looked at the empty medicine bottle beside him, then at the restraints on his body, "What is your purpose?"

"A piece of information, information related to the Howards."

"Don't you know?"

"That's the problem. I only know that you killed them, but there is no corresponding record." Zemo said with some embarrassment, "I found the colonel who controlled you at the beginning, but he defended his self-esteem with death.

I had no choice but to use a slightly bloody method to get what I wanted."

"How did you find him?" Bucky asked in surprise, "I looked for him too, but..."

"You must not have looked hard enough, but it was not easy to find him. I spent a lot of time and resources." Zemo said, taking out a red notebook from his backpack, "Sorry, I may need you to recall some bad things."

“No.” Seeing the notebook, Bucky’s expression changed drastically, and there was a hint of fear in his voice.

"Don't be nervous. I just want to know something. I don't intend to ask you to kill anyone." Zemo said calmly, then opened the notebook and read out some irrelevant words in Russian, "Desire, Rust, Seventeen..."

"No, stop now."

"dawn."

"Stop." Barnes roared and his body began to struggle violently.

But the restraints imposed on him at this moment also played a role. The chains and large machinery were difficult to shake even for a super soldier like him.

By the way, he is also Sequence 7 in the Warrior Path, a Weapon Master.

However, this path will only undergo a qualitative change when it reaches Sequence 6, the Knight of Dawn. This means that apart from his extraordinary physical fitness, Buggy currently has no other special abilities.

Reliable Nutrient Solution spent a long period of time in a coma, and even the strongest physical fitness would be reduced to a shattered state. He is not much stronger than an ordinary person now.

"Stove, nine..."

“Ah!” Bucky roared in pain. The chains on his body rattled and sparks appeared on his left arm.

"Be kind, go home, one, van."

After saying the last word, Bucky stopped struggling and his pupils became numb.

"Soldier?" Zemo asked tentatively.

"Please give your orders."

"Mission report, December 1991, 12."

Bucky's pupils trembled slightly, and he reported the whole process of how he killed the Howards without changing his expression.

“Where are the corresponding records?”

"There is no corresponding record." Buggy was about to say this when he noticed a bloodthirsty red light in Zemo's pupils, and the word "devil" immediately emerged in his mind.

You can't lie, you absolutely can't get away with it.

Spiritual instinct gave Bucky this warning.

"It's recorded in the Siberian base. There's a videotape in the archives with a date on it."

"Siberian base." Zemo murmured, then suddenly thought of something and opened the red notebook, which recorded in detail the method of entering the base and the internal structure.

Unexpectedly, it was so easy to get it!

"Very good, soldier, your mission is accomplished." Zemo closed the notebook and stuffed it into his backpack. "Someone will come to find you soon, before you starve to death."

After saying that, Zemo put on his backpack and walked out of the factory.

It wasn't until Zemo was out of sight that Buggy calmed down and tried to break free again.

The iron chains rattled and the machine pressing on my left arm also made a harsh sound, but the actual effect was not even as good as before.

Another failed attempt made Buggy realize the reality. After a long sigh, he decided to ask his master for help. Now he had no other choice.

The Great God of Contract

Ancient and...

The hymn was less than halfway read when a dark shadow appeared on the ground.

When he looked up, Zemo, who had returned, was looking at him with amusement.

“You…” Bucky was about to say something when his vision went dark and he passed out.
