Chapter 7 The Priceless Deal
Rumlow did find The Mimic, or the Mime knew Rumlow was coming for him.He was waiting in the box, and as soon as Rumlow pushed the door in, he heard a cold sarcasm from a familiar voice——
"I'm the last person you should come looking for."
Rumlow didn't respond, and turned around to close the door.When I turned around again, I saw three glasses of wine on the table.Two of the glasses were half-drunk, and the other had just been filled by the imitation master. It seemed that it was indeed for the students.
Rumlow scanned the private room vigilantly, but did not find the third person present. He frowned and cast suspicious eyes on the man who put on the iconic cloak and skull mask—"Is it convenient to talk? I need Your help."
There is no need for too many pleasantries between the master and the apprentice, they are very clear about each other's value.So the imitation master also gave a very straightforward answer-"It's convenient, but I don't want to talk about it, because I won't help you."
Rumlow laughed. He strode forward, took the full glass of wine from the master, and drank it down for the shock before and the courage now.He slapped the empty cup on the table and smiled hoarsely, "Tell me, what do you want me to exchange this time."
He knows the master of imitation.It doesn't matter if the imitator shakes his head and refuses, as long as he shakes his head, it means that the price is not right.Rumlow only needs to keep increasing the price, and he will always wait until the other party nods.
The master of imitation does not value money as much as outsiders understand, and the amount of money he values is not enough for a mere rumlo.But the good thing is that he still attaches great importance to many experiments, and Rumlow can always treat himself as a volunteer in exchange for corresponding rewards.
They have been like this since the beginning of their master-student relationship, and it seems that they will continue to be like this.Although every time something is asked for from Rumlow, the apprentice almost loses half his life, but it doesn't matter, Rumlow will always survive, and if he survives, he will heal.
Unfortunately, this time, things were not as expected by Rumlow.I saw that the imitation master didn't even think about it, and rejected him again without hesitation—"No, I won't do this matter, no matter what you offer in exchange, I don't intend to get involved in the relationship between you and Captain Hydra." between the grievances."
Rumlow was curious, and looked at the other party more cautiously, prying cautiously—"...so you know what I want you to do?"
The imitation master crossed his hands, looked at Rumlow for a while, and replied, "Steve Rogers changed from Captain America to Captain Hydra. This news can't be overstated in the headlines of the week. Let me say yours The secrecy measures are also very bad, the sooner your changes are known, the sooner the enemy will find out how to deal with them."
The imitation masters are right, although they have not disclosed it to the outside world, but no one seems to deliberately keep the fact that Steve has turned from light to darkness.
Coupled with Steve's high-profile actions and violent actions within the organization, although no one said it clearly, all forces must have heard the wind, and anyone with a little sensitivity can realize the difference.
"It's not my concern, all I care about is—"
"Only the Winter Soldier," interrupted the Master Mimic, "you want to get him out, like every time in the past, and let your self-righteous personal heroism run wild on that poor soldier, but you're dead Sometimes I feel that I have done one or two things worthy of myself.”
The corner of Rumlow's mouth twitched.
Compared to Captain America's depravity, his affection for the Winter Soldier is well known.This is indeed a terrible thing, but now that he has been forced to make it public, he is willing to bear the consequences that follow.
It's a pity—"People are all the same, you have people who are willing to go all out, and so do your general team and your Hydra captain."
That's Tony Dak.
"He's already dead." Rumlow replied, then thought for a while, and said again—"I've seen the corpse, it's kept in the frozen sealed room of our organization, I've seen it with my own eyes."
This cannot be false.
Steve Rogers didn't trust many people. Although he made things difficult for Rumlow, he also knew that Rumlow was a rare and trustworthy person.
That's why he has to force Rumlow to submit no matter what means he uses, because Crossbones is the rarest of the rabble, and there is still a ray of self-principle.
Even if this principle is different from most people's.
So Steve didn't mind that Rumlow knew about the dead body, and it seemed normal.Thinking about it differently, if the Winter Soldier becomes like that one day, Rumlow will naturally steal the corpse and put it where he can see it, and then——
"Then, find a way to make him open his eyes." The imitation master said lightly, but these words shocked Rumlow like a blow to the head.
After a pause, Rumlow figured out what the imitator said, and asked eagerly—"...What do you mean?"
But there was no need to imitate the master's answer, Rumlow immediately thought clearly.Who is the master of imitation? He is a ghost who can resurrect the dead.This is not whether he has the ability to bring the dead back to life, but that he can make people look exactly the same as before.On a certain level, the souls brought back were exactly the same.
"...Time and space channel." Rumlow asked and answered himself, and blurted out.After finishing speaking, I couldn't help shivering, thought for a moment, and added my guess—"You can...you can do this, you can open different planes."
The master of imitation still didn't respond, his eyes lowered and fell on one of the half-drinked cups, then took a sip from the other, smacking his lips, and continued to listen to Rumlow talking to himself.
Yes, the imitator can do it.
But even as a disciple of the master, Rumlow believed that it was just a rumor.
He once asked about the truth of imitating the master, but the master himself just prevaricated him-"I just know where to open it and how to open it. I have no interest in opening that thing. The chaos caused by opening up each other's worlds is immeasurable. I have A friend opened it once, so I..."
so what?Rumlow didn't know.
Because the master shut up at this point, and then Rumlow asked again, and the imitation master pretended to be crazy and denied—"Did I say that I have a friend? How can I have such a capable friend? I want this friend." I have long since become the great devil who rules the world."
So Rumlow stopped asking.
After all, he is not interested in the intersection of different planes. He is just a mercenary. It is great to live a life in his own world. Those science and technology that consume brain cells are of no use to him.
But obviously, it works well for the current Steve Rogers.
Because he wanted to bring back Tony Duck, the iron man who had been killed and had no breath or heartbeat at this point in time.
"Accept fate, Brock." The imitation master put down the cup, his eyes met with his apprentice, and his tone was sincere—"This is how you and the Winter Soldier went. You didn't end well. You should have understood from the beginning."
Understand, but do not accept.The sincerity made Rumlow sting.
"...Help me, after bringing the Winter Soldier out, I will do everything by myself. We don't need to make a deal with Rogers, and you don't need to help him do anything..." Rumlow's eyes were red, and his words seemed to be pleading Seems like a threat - "You have to help me, you owe me... I have paid so much for your work before, you owe me!"
The imitation master really owes him that.The master has used the crossbones many times, and the crossbones have not killed the killer after that.Perhaps this is some level of forgiveness, but alas, the imitator does not appreciate it.
"I owe you something, but I'm not going to pay it back."
The master imitator laughed, and his laughter was so hideous that Rumlow wanted to shoot his head off—"I'll help you, Captain Hydra will definitely use all the power of Hydra to hunt me down. He The determination to save Stark is greater than your determination to save the Winter Soldier. But I'm sorry, not only him, but even I don't know what will be brought from that world, and I don't want me to be the sinner. "
"...Do you think he won't arrest you and force you to do this if you reject me?!" Rumlow growled and punched the table.The cup bounced, but no wine spilled.
"Yes," the master imitator replied flatly, "but not today, because he didn't bring enough people today, and he couldn't catch me. So you will still come to me, but you won't be able to find me again."
Over Rumlow's shoulder, the Mimic master glanced at the door.Rumlow felt a chill all over his body, and quickly turned around and rushed to open the door.
There was no one outside the door, but the cold door panel was brushed lightly with a hand, and there was a piece of warmth from the human body.
Rumlow's chicken skin fell all over the floor.He was so frightened that a cold sweat broke out on his back.
He hasn't felt anyone following him since he left the tavern, but there is no doubt that those eyes have been around him from the beginning to the end.And all of this confirms what Steve said before he left - don't let the cock leave your body, or you will be very dangerous, very, very dangerous.
The danger isn't that he's been tracked here, but that he's trying to evade Steve's scrutiny and sneak a meeting with the impersonator.
The dangerous thing is not that he went to the mercenary field unarmed and alone, but that his disobedience to the order to rescue the Winter Soldier from under the opponent's nose has subverted the loyalty brought by the mission of killing Bartok and Rollins.
He had failed in his mission, and the moment he realized that the other party had figured out his route and heard him and the impersonator fully, completely failed.
Killing Bartok and Rollins is indeed not the end of the mission, but his mission cannot be successfully completed.
He should ask for help again, he should try harder, imitating the master is his last straw, even if the other party is not even kind enough to remind him that walls have ears in advance, he can still lower his self-esteem and try again.
But sorry, the moment he turned his head, the imitator disappeared.
Rumlow only witnessed a dizzy white light, and then he was the only one left in the private room.
Before leaving, the imitation master still gave him the last advice, the tone was still sincere, so sincere that it seemed that one could see behind the skull mask, showing an almost apologetic expression——
"Stop trying to get help, Brock, because nothing you find after that will be help."
— neither will help.
Rumlow quietly looked at the place where the white light disappeared, and a dark complementary color appeared in front of his eyes.He stood there in a daze for a while, still not understanding the meaning of this sentence.
There were three glasses quietly placed on the table, two of which had already been drunk, and one of which was only half full of fermented rice.He still didn't know where the third person in the room was, but now he was sure that that person also disappeared together.
He suddenly lost the strength to walk and fell limply on the sofa.
He has no way to go back, no way to face what the Winter Soldier is about to endure.But he couldn't leave either, because the world had kidnapped him.
