The Great Winter Soldier

394 The Tenacious Hand

"Oh, this is really sad." Wanda stood quietly in front of a nurse. Her body was flowing with crimson energy, soaking in the nurse in front of her. And this nurse in a white coat, at this time He was sitting upright on the chair, with a dull expression, like a puppet.

"What's wrong?" Xia Tian looked at the nurse whose eyes were empty and unfocused, and asked with a frown.

"The Hand seems to be doing good things. They take in children wandering the streets. They give homeless people a warm home. They even build a school to provide these children with food, clothing, housing, transportation and basic education." Wanda said softly. He looked at Xia Tian with a complex expression. It seemed that the Hand Club was no different from the school founded by Xia Tian.

"Why do you say it seems to be doing good things?" Xia Tian asked.

"They have a strict hierarchy. As long as you are a Hand and someone who can come out, after identifying yourself, you can get any convenience. Even those things that are illegal and violate the regulations. For example, the nurse in front of me who belongs to the Hand , if you come to the hospital to seek some medicine, you will normally need to go through a lot of cumbersome procedures. But if you are a member of the Hand, she will help you unconditionally, even if it means risking her life. This is consistent with us. It is completely different for ordinary friends to help each other. They are proud of it and will never have any excuses. This is already equivalent to a sect. In their hearts, the Hand and the Society are the supreme existence that transcends everything." Wanda murmured softly.

Xia Tian and Nicole looked at each other, this was just an ordinary hospital. How many people in all walks of life belong to the Hand? If you can travel unimpeded in New York, you can imagine what achievements you can make.

The Hand Club has developed and grown like this under Xia Tian's eyes, which is really amazing.

"This model has a history of decades. Among them are lawyers, doctors, teachers, government officials, and business elites, spread across all walks of life in society. Summer, you should be glad that you are not You are the kind of person who follows the rules. Otherwise, it would be almost impossible for you to overthrow He Hui through legitimate means." Wanda sighed softly, "You will be obstructed by all walks of life, and they will hug you tightly. When we are in a group, we are both prosperous and prosperous.

"This method is so good. Why didn't we expect that the people we help, the people who come out of our hospitals, orphanages, and shelters, should also be from all walks of life in society," Nicole said. .

"It's useless. Helping and brainwashing are two different things. They may be grateful to you, but they rarely go to the extent of risking their lives to help you. In addition, to be precise, the members of the Hand are not helping each other. They are When helping other members of the Hand, the inner thought is actually to dedicate themselves to the organization of the Hand. These are two completely different concepts." Xia Tian grasped the key point, "Belief is too scary, Wanda , can you find where their base camp is? You just said there is a school."

"Okay, this is not a difficult thing for me, but what do you want to do to attack those ordinary people?" Wanda looked a little unbearable. Although this is a cult-like organization, crimes at the leadership level have nothing to do with this group of people. Maybe, well, there is a small connection, but these ordinary Hand members are just instilled with such thoughts and beliefs, depend on each other, and make a living based on this. Although the nurse in front of me had done many things that violated the rules, her crime was not worthy of death.

"You know, if you cut off the snake's head, the snake will die completely. I have no intention of cleaning up New York." Xia Tian said, "At least their drug trade around the world is not something Nicole can tolerate. "

Wanda closed her eyes. The gem in his arms exudes gleaming light. Half a minute later, Wanda opened her eyes and nodded gently to Xia Tian.

"Erase her memory of this period." Xia Tian said, stood up and walked out of the ward.

Wanda followed Xia Tian's wishes and erased the memory of the nurse. They didn't want to alert the enemy yet.

"Captain, you're back." Several people walked out of the back door of the hospital and saw Jessica, who had been waiting silently. The woman folded her arms and leaned against the wall.

"Have you found Iron Fist?" Xia Tian asked.

"No, not yet." Jessica's face looked a little strange and her eyes flickered.

"Jessica, you are not an excellent liar." Xia Tian frowned.

Jessica lowered her head slightly, feeling guilty and angry at the same time. These days, she had been feeling guilty and self-blaming. Her extremely high 95 points of loyalty kept her thinking like this in her heart. She shouldn't have deceived Xia Tian in the first place. She really couldn't bear Luke Cage's request, so she lied.

"Why?" Xia Tian sighed deeply and looked at Jessica in front of him quietly.

"Luke hopes you can come back. The more we know about the power of the Hand, the more powerless we feel. Through normal means, we can't stop these people at all." Jessica lowered her head, with a cute look of admitting her mistake, and talked with She was completely different from her usual unruly nature. Come to think of it, only Xia Tian could tame her. Even her boyfriend Luke Cage could only follow her lead.

In fact, according to her character, she would not behave like this. It is all because she is really guilty in her heart and regrets the deception she has done, or because of her extremely high digital loyalty. Surrendered invisibly.

"What have you deceived me about?" Xia Tian asked with a frown.

"Iron Fist, that is, Daniel, he came to our office on his own initiative." Jessica said, "The rest of what I said is true."

"You think if Iron Fist is here, I won't come back. I will leave this matter to you three to deal with" Xia Tian asked in a deep voice, looking at Jessica who was bowing her head in front of her.

"After all, the three of us are all superpowers, so maybe this kind of thing is not a big deal in your mind. Luke seems to value Iron Fist very much, and he also values ​​everything in New York. He doesn't want to watch this army disappear. It has continued to lurk, develop, and grow." Jessica pursed her lips and said, "Luke Cage said that only if you come back in person can the Hand be uprooted. Although the three of us have some superpowers, we don't have the same powers as you. Trait.”

"What kind of characteristics?" Xia Tian raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise.

Jessica glanced at Nicole covertly, and then looked at Xia Tian: "Ruthless, tough, and even a neat massacre."

"I thought you were superheroes." Xia Tian laughed dumbly.

"No, I'm just one of your spokespersons in Hell's Kitchen, a female alcoholic whose life was saved by you." Jessica snorted. She hasn't appeared in this posture for a long time. Since she left Xia Tian, ​​she established alone As a small group, she became more and more unruly and authoritarian, with a bad temper.

"Don't talk about yourself like that." Xia Tian sighed softly. His appearance and everything he did to New York and the world did affect the worldview of Jessica, Luke Cage and others.

As a superhero, Luke Cage realizes the importance of "grouping". Indeed, individual heroism is no longer appropriate for this world.

Xia Tian's stiff expression relaxed a little, and he said in a serious tone: "There will be no next time, Jesse."

"I promise." Jessica nodded, and 95's loyalty actually increased a little.

"Now, go back to your lawless appearance and don't embarrass yourself in front of my new team members." Xia Tian said, "Let's go, take me to see our Lord Iron Fist."

"Yeah." Jessica turned around and walked ahead, staying silent the whole way.

"I'm sorry for letting you see this scene. In fact, I am very good to my team members." Xia Tian smiled apologetically at Wanda.

"I'm sorry too. I just saw some of her memories. When you said you were cheating, I thought she betrayed you." Wanda's emotions seemed to be very complicated. She sighed softly and said with some emotion. , "You are qualified to treat her like this. She was like me. No, her experience was more miserable than mine and Pietro's. Everything you did should be followed by her for the rest of her life. You deserve her to treat you like this."

"I like this team even more. The more I know, the more I know that I am not with the wrong person." Wanda's eyes turned red. Maybe she saw the painful years when Jessica was imprisoned and played by the Purple Man. In such dark years when body and soul were wantonly played with, Wanda could not imagine what kind of broken body Jessica survived. Or maybe it was the appearance of Xia Tian that brought the only trouble to Jessica's life. of light.

Women, such emotional creatures, always shed their own tears in other people's stories.
