Chapter 226-228

A few minutes later, Jerry was already sitting on the chair that Lin Rui had arranged for him, and several of the League of Defenders were standing in front of him to looking at him. After such a period of observation, Lin Rui can almost be sure that this guy in front of him should indeed be just a single man and not someone from any secret force and Daredevil’s judgment is the same.

“So, are you one of my fans?” Deadpool asked happily, staring at Jerry.

Although Wade also hit a lot of gangsters under the name of Deadpool during this time, the video that saved the cat was also included in the news of the life section, but so far no one has set up a Deadpool’s personal fan website for him. So, seeing this guy calling himself League of Defender fan, Wade was still very happy.

“Uh … this … this …” Hearing Deadpool in front of him, Jerry didn’t know how to answer.

In fact, Jerry mostly admires Mirage Knight and Spiderman. It is not wrong to say that he is half of Daredevil’s fans. But he couldn’t say the same for Deadpool and Jack. After all, Jack hasn’t involved himself in many things and Deadpool just joined the League of Defender. Sky’s Eye hasn’t noticed that this guy who looks a little funny is worthy of his admiration.

“That’s right! I’m Mr. Deadpool’s fan!” However, after noticing Wade’s seemingly inadvertent hand on his waist gun, Jerry quickly and surely answered. If he didn’t agree, he was worried that Deadpool would pull out his gun.

“Deadpool, don’t scare him.” Wade’s small gesture obviously didn’t escape Lin Rui’s eyes and he said with a smile and stepped forward at the same time.

“So, do you really want to join us?” Lin Rui asked seriously before coming to Jerry.

“Yes! I want to join you! I want to join the League of Defender! I know what you guys do is dangerous, but I’m not afraid. And, I belong to the technical staff, and I should be very good in the logistics department too.” Hearing Lin Rui, Sky’s Eye answered seriously. At the same time, he also knows where his strengths are. He doesn’t want to fight with those powerful guys outside with Mirage Knight or Spiderman. He wants to live his life.

“Are you really aware of the dangers of what we do? Maybe you found some dark sides on the Internet that were not exposed to the real world, but that might just be the tip of the iceberg.” Staring at Jerry’s eyes, Lin Rui asked again. Although Lin Rui does feel that a technician is needed in the team, especially in computer networking, he also needs a guy who is trustworthy and will not shrink back from any situation.

“I understand that I don’t know a lot of things even if my hacking skills are high, but I really want to do something for this world, as you guys are doing!” Jerry was already prepared before contacting Mirage Knight. He doesn’t just want to be a hacker hidden under the Internet all his life. He has to use his ability to do something really valuable. Thinking back then, he was also a teenager with a heroic dream!

Hearing Jerry’s answer, Lin Rui’s face did not change, but he was already satisfied. The guy with the nickname Sky’s Eye is able to break the defense of J.A.R.V.I.S. And he has enough willpower.

“What do you think?” Although Lin Rui was satisfied with Jerry, he asked a few people around him.

“I have no opinion.” Jack took the lead.

“I think he’s okay. Our team really lacks logistics staff.” Although Daredevil has now joined SHIELD, he is still a member of the League of Defender team.

In the future, maybe Daredevil will be the only member of both the Avengers Alliance and the League of Defender. Moreover, with Lin Rui, the development of the League of Defender may not be worse than that of the Avengers. After all, there are currently no Iron Man, Thor, and Hulk in the Avengers and they only have Captain America.

Hearing Jack and Daredevil’s words, Jerry, who was sitting nervously, unconsciously revealed his joy. Two people in the League of Defender have agreed to let him join, so the chances of him being accepted are very high.

“I don’t care, but in order to get my vote, you must create a personal fan website for Deadpool, and it must be better than the one Spiderman has!” It was Wade’s turn, and he watched the nervous Jerry before proposing his requirements.

“No problem! I will definitely make a fan website for Mr. Deadpool!” After hearing Deadpool’s words, Jerry quickly agreed. Although Wade’s requirements are better than Spiderman fans’ website, Jerry is willing to spend time and not fail. However, in the end, how many fans Wade will have is beyond his control.

“Well, I agree with him.” With Jerry’s assurance, Wade then showed his attitude.

“Well, then there is only Spiderman left. However, everyone here has expressed their suggestions. So, I now announce that the League of Defender will accept Sky’s Eye as a trainee, and after a period of inspection, he will become a full-time member.” His teammates have already stated their position, and Lin Rui finally concluded and announced the results. Even if Peter disagrees later, they are here four to one, and Jerry has no problem joining the Guardians. Also, Lin Rui doesn’t think Peter would disagree.

“Yeah!” Jerry cheered when he heard Mirage Knight’s final announcement. Although he is still a trainee now, he is confident that these Vigilante will recognize himself, he is a talented hacker!

“Well, now that we have accepted you, then there are still some things to be figured out. First of all, please tell us how did you find us.” Looking at the excited Jerry, Lin Rui waved and asked.

“Oh, this one. In fact, it was just luck. I followed a photo posted by a member of the Spiderman fan website …” Hearing Lin Rui’s words, Jerry explained how he found them.

A few minutes later, Lin Rui and the others around him look strange. On the one hand, they learned that it was Peter who exposed himself because of the photos he took. On the other hand, Jerry briefly introduced his abilities in these minutes, which showed Lin Rui and others what a powerful hacker can do. For example, Jerry surprised Lin Rui and his friends by simply hacking into the internal system of an Internet company in New York using the base computer.

“So, you made this yourself?” Lin Rui, who had seen Jerry’s ability, was playing with a headset-style technology product at the moment, and then asked curiously.

Daredevil and Jack also have such a thing in their hands. This headset is a gift prepared by Jerry for this meeting and joining the League of Defender.

“Yes, it took me two months to complete the system in the headset. Although the appearance of the headset is a bit rough, after all, I am playing with a computer and have the average hands-on ability. However, I can guarantee that you will like it.” Jerry also had a headset in his hand, and answered Lin Rui seriously after hearing what he said.

“Can it really have such powerful functions as you just said?” Jack asked with a small headset flipped in his hand.

Just now Jerry introduced the function of this gift when he took them out, but it’s the function that made Lin Rui and others unbelievable. According to Jerry, a system he personally compiled can penetrate the entire New York city network, not only viewing the online information of countless people but it could also hack into New York police and private surveillance systems to access the camera feeds. Taking this a step further, Jerry can even use this system to intercept the call of the target person, which is pretty shocking.

The earpiece equipment Jerry made is a set of contacts that can be used by the team to communicate with each other and make the system communicate with each other. At present, the function of this equipment is still a little single, with only one earpiece and an interlocutor. However, Jerry can add more technologies in the future.

“Yes, and it will be even more powerful in the future.” Again, Jerry answered seriously.

“However, there are still some places in New York where my system cannot penetrate. For example, Stark Industries’ Advanced Intelligent JARVIS, that level of intelligence can already detect my system and perform corresponding defense.” However, this time Jerry again added a sentence. Although he is a genius, there is more than one genius in this world.

“I thought you could really invade all networks, that would have been really scary.” Hearing what Jerry added later, Lin Rui finally believed him. However, even then the system is powerful enough. Accepting Jerry’s joining their team has been a wise decision, and Lin Rui was already very convinced at this time.

Despite Lin Rui’s advance warning of the Hydra organization and Fury’s full fight plans, SHIELD has been dealt a heavy blow and its existence has also been exposed to the outside world. It took SHIELD and the World Security Directors a while to get the situation under their control, and now, more than a week later, Fury can finally relax a bit.

At this time, in the Director’s office at SHIELD’s headquarters, Fury was seriously watching a video on the computer screen in front of him. The video footage was shaking, but the picture displayed was very clear. There are two people in the picture, standing in the corner is the Winter Soldier in a black jacket and a mask, and the person standing in front of the Winter Soldier is Mirage Knight. Fury was watching a surveillance video of the battle between Lin Rui and Bucky that happened more than a week ago and he couldn’t understand what he had found.

Da Da ~

While Fury was watching the surveillance video intently, Captain Rogers came over from behind him. Fury apparently knows that he was behind him and said hello without turning his head. “Come and see, it seems that our mysterious Mirage Knight was hiding something from us.”

“Isn’t that normal? There are so many things you haven’t told me either.” Coming up behind Fury, Steve said in a subtle response as he knew that Fury keeps everything close to himself. But Fury can’t help it, he is the Director of SHIELD and the fewer people know about some things that he had seen, the better.

Hearing Steve’s calm tone, Fury’s heart jumped. Fury does have many things to hide from Rogers, but those are not important and Rogers will say something if he minds it. However, regarding the Winter Soldier in the surveillance video, Fury does not know if Captain Rogers has seen it before.

Fury actually knew about Winter Soldier, which Hydra had kept for 60 years from SHIELD’s internal data that was decrypted. So, in addition to Lin Rui knowing that the Winter Soldier in the surveillance video is Bucky, Fury has already guessed who he is. Fury asked Steve to watch this surveillance video together with him this time to make him prepare mentally, after all, Bucky is Steve’s best friend. If Steve finds out later in the battle, it may cause unnecessary accidental losses.

“So, I want to tell you one thing today. But, first of all, don’t get too excited or angry when you see what’s coming next.” Steve looked at him carefully as Fury continued.

“Hmm? What’s the matter?” Steve asked in surprise as he heard Fury’s words. Hydra has been exposed, what else was Fury hiding?

“See it for yourself.” As Fury reached for the screen in front of him, he stepped aside.

Captain Rogers followed Fury’s hand and looked at the screen. There was a picture of Mirage Knight and Winter Soldier facing each other more than a week ago. In Steve’s sight, the injured Hydra soldier was repelled by Mirage Knight, but Mirage Knight did not continue the attack him and stood still. Steve’s judgment about what Mirage Knight should be talking to the soldier was something that puzzled him.

From the perspective of this monitor, only Mirage Knight’s back can be photographed and the camera is just facing Winter Soldier’s front area. Just when Captain Rogers wondered what Mirage Knight was talking to this Hydra soldier, Winter Soldier’s face who had already risen up from the ground appeared on the monitor, this time there was no mask. So, when Steve saw Bucky’s familiar face, he felt as if he got hit by a train. He stared at the person in the surveillance video while his heart was beating rapidly and the memories of his best friend quickly surged up.

“Bucky?!” Steve’s voice trembled as he stared at Bucky in the video.

Noting the reaction from Captain Rogers next to him, Fury didn’t bother him at this time and he let Steve calm himself down first.

After seeing Bucky’s face, Steve stared at the surveillance video more carefully. He reached out and clicked on the screen a few times to zoom in on the screen.

In the surveillance video, Mirage Knight appears to want to speak to Bucky, but Bucky does not answer and plans to continue attacking Mirage Knight. But just as he was about to attack, he stopped. In the video, Steve notices that Mirage Knight seems to have shouted something him as he can see the back of his body shaking.

After Mirage Knight shouted something, Bucky’s mood seemed to change. He held his head in his hands and began to talk nonsense. Then he calmed down. The surveillance video is in high-definition, and Fury has already had some analytics read Bucky’s lips and that words had already put on screen as subtitles.

“Steve? Who is he? Who am I?!” That’s what Bucky said when he calmed down. When he saw the short words on the screen, Steve’s heart was racing violently and he already had a bad feeling in his heart.

However, he almost cried out when he saw the next scene in the video because Bucky rushed towards Mirage Knight once again and just when Steve thought that Mirage Knight was going to kill Bucky, there was a huge explosion outside the wall where Bucky was standing. The location he was standing collapsed and soot and flying debris covered the area.

“Bucky!” Steve couldn’t help worrying about Bucky, though he knew it happened a week ago.

There seemed to be a black shadow rushing out of the smoke and dust, and then the light flashed again before the surveillance, and then the black shadow rushing out was blown back again at a faster speed, and then the shadow finally wobbly on the wall behind it. It was Mirage Knight who had rushed out. Seeing this scene, Captain Rogers was very confused. He didn’t know why Mirage Knight did it but he had obviously seen that Mirage Knight didn’t want Bucky to die.

At the end of the video, Mirage Knight broke free from the wall and walked to the corner of the collapsed wall and looked down before leaving. When the figure of Mirage Knight disappeared from the surveillance, the entire video was over, and it returned to the original picture again.

After the video, Steve reached out and swiped across the screen quickly, and finally freeze the entire video at the moment Bucky showed his face. Maximizing the video, Steve determined that the Hydra’s assassin was Bucky. The owner of that face and he goes back to their childhood and he would not forget it.

“Later, I sent someone to find him, but I didn’t find anything. He should not have died, but escaped.” After Rogers at his side finally watched the video, Fury’s words passed slowly.

“When did you know?” Steve asked in a low tone without looking away from the screen.

“It’s been a while, but I haven’t been sure that it was him.” Faced with Captain Rogers’s question, Fury answered truthfully.

Boom!

With Fury’s reply, Steve punched the base of the monitor in front of him, making a dent in the solid base. Steve is obviously furious that Fury knew about Bucky and didn’t tell him. Bucky Barnes, his brother in all but blood who was in the army with him and who died while fighting against Hydra, and now he find that 66 years later, his best friend was still alive.

Glancing at the dent made by Steve, Fury’s eyes flickered. This seemed to be a bit different from what he had expected. He had underestimated the relationship between Steve and Bucky.

“Where is he now?” Steve asked while taking his fist back.

“After last week’s war, we have been searching for Hydra’s bases around the world. One after another, Hydra’s hidden team has been eliminated, but he has not been found. As the Winter Soldier programmed and trained by Hydra, he is no longer the person he used to be. “After answering Steve’s words first, Fury added another sentence. He didn’t want Captain Rogers to affect Hydra’s annihilation plan because of his personal feelings.

“I’m well aware of it!” Steve replied coldly and he had already sent this surveillance video to his terminal.

Call!

Then Steve didn’t plan to listen to what Fury was saying afterward and quickly left Director’s office after turning around. Fury could only silently sigh as he watched Steve’s departure, hoping that he was not wrong today. However, even if he doesn’t tell Steve this information today, he will find out this information for himself in the future, and things will probably get worse.

New York, Empire State High School, a new week has begun but Lin Rui is not in a good mood. Yesterday, the joy of a top hacker joining them had disappeared because he didn’t see Peter in the morning and Lin Rui couldn’t even contact Peter now.

In the eyes of the surrounding classmates, the triangular circle formed by Lin Rui, Harry, and Peter last semester is now divided. Lin Rui and Peter, who were together last week, were alone now. Students around them are wondering what had happened to their golden triangle. After all, Lin Rui is still famous in New York Empire State High School for his talent or family background.

And while Lin Rui was sitting in his seat thinking about what happened to Peter, Tom, who had previously moved to the last row of the classroom, was watching him silently from behind him.

Since Lin Rui became Mirage Knight and founded the League of Defender, he has really neglected his good friend from childhood. Because now, Lin Rui’s life is not something that any ordinary person would understand, he got lucky with Peter and Harry as one of them is Spiderman and the other may become a little Green Goblin and he would be able to get along with them more casually.

Of course, the alienation between Tom and Lin Rui has his own reasons. It seemed that Lin Rui and Peter had a closer relationship, and Tom, who couldn’t fit in, consciously distanced himself from Lin Rui. However, Tom has been keeping a close eye on his good friend since then.

Perhaps without Lin Rui knowing it, Tom already knew a lot of things he didn’t expect. Speaking of which, Tom is one of the few fans who joined the Mirage Knight fans website from the beginning.

Buzz ~

Just as Lin Rui sat in a daze on his seat, his cell phone vibrated. Since knowing that Sky Eye ’s hacking skills are superb, Lin Rui has asked him to modify his Mirage Knight’s phone so that others won’t be able to track it. In this way, Lin Rui can carry the phone belonging to Mirage Knight with him in normal times.

Glancing at the screen of the shaking phone, Lin Rui was a little surprised by the name displayed on it but he quickly recovered and put his phone back into his pocket without answering. School will be over soon, so he would just call back and it will be fine.

Bell ~

Soon after the school bell rang, Lin Rui quickly packed his schoolbag and left the classroom. He will go to Peter’s house today as Peter has been out of touch for several days. After thinking about Peter’s strange behavior recently, Lin Rui feels it necessary to meet him now.

Tom blinked after watching Lin Rui leave quickly and then left the school carrying his schoolbag. Seeing the way he left, he was not going home.

On the way to Peter’s house, Lin Rui had taken out Mirage Knight’s cell phone and then dialed out the previous call. If the other person is okay then he wouldn’t call him, but he doesn’t know what’s wrong with him now as he should be busy right now.

“Hey, Mirage Knight, hello!” The call was soon connected, and a deep voice of Captain Rogers came from the other end of the phone.

“Hello, Captain Rogers. I am surprised that you had the time to call me, shouldn’t you be busy with SHIELD?” Lin Rui asked faintly when he heard Captain Rogers’s voice.

Just yesterday, Lin Rui also saw an interview with Captain Rogers on TV. Now Steve has become an American super idol, and his fame has surpassed Vigalanties of New York like Spiderman and Mirage Knight by many times.

“Mirage Knight, are you free right now? I have something that I need to talk to you about.” Steve asked earnestly without noticing the ridicule in Lin Rui’s tone.

“Is it now? I am not free for the time being, but I would be free this evening.” Although Rui had some doubts about what Steve was looking for, he still answered truthfully.

“In the evening? Good, I’ll contact you again at that time. By the way, are you in New York now?” Captain Rogers seemed regretful to hear Mirage Knight’s answer but then he asked again.

“Yeah, I’m in New York.” It seemed that Lin Rui had heard a little anxiety in Captain Rogers’s words, and his tone became more serious.

Did something happen? But shouldn’t SHIELD be dealing with the remnant of Hydra at this time? The completion of my mainline quest is also slowly rising. Captain Rogers didn’t say anything about what he wanted with Lin Rui, but Lin Rui had already made several guesses.

Speaking of which, Lin Rui only reminded Fury of Hydra at the beginning and he did not contribute much to the war that happened some time ago, but SHIELD’s attack on Hydra has also counted as Lin Rui’s mission and the mainline quest has been slowly reaching its completion rate, even if he doesn’t know how the calculation is being done? But this is also a good thing for Lin Rui and he won’t bother with this.

“Then I’ll come to you in New York in the evening.” After making an appointment with Lin Rui, Captain Rogers hangs up the phone, never telling Lin Rui what he wants to see him for.

“What’s the matter?” Lin Rui, who also hung up the phone, thought silently.

Lin Rui would not know that Captain Rogers is coming here to see him because he saw Bucky and his confrontation in the fight. After watching the surveillance video, Steve felt that Mirage Knight should have known the identity of the Winter Soldier, but he never told him anything. Moreover, from the monitoring point of view, Lin Rui apparently held back his strength on Bucky from the very beginning. Later, when Bucky fell from the corner of the wall collapsed by the missile, Lin Rui obviously intended to rescue him but was he was unfortunately left behind as a second missile hit him.

So, now Steve, who has a lot of grievances against Fury, doesn’t want to go to Fury to ask about Bucky and he is instead going to Lin Rui to learn about Bucky. This mysterious Vigilante should have the information Steve wants to know.

…

“Hello Aunt Mei, is Peter home?” Soon, Lin Rui came to Peter’s house, and it was Aunt Mei who was at home that opened the door to Lin Rui.

“Oh, Jackson! Didn’t Peter go to school?” Aunt Mei, who let Jackson into the living room, asked Lin Rui a little strangely. Peter had already gone to school in the morning.

“Uh … No, Peter was at school. But I had an appointment with him to do an after-school assignment, but he ran away first, so I came here.” Lin Rui knew that Peter was skipping class when he heard Aunt Mei’s words, so in order not to make Aunt Mei worry, Lin Rui lied to her.

“Ohh, Peter hasn’t returned home yet, maybe he went to go to someplace. He had been going out a lot in these two days and I don’t know what is going on with him. No matter what I say, I can’t seem to get through to him these days ” Aunt Mei said helplessly when she heard Lin Rui’s words. It seemed that she could see that Peter had changed recently, but she could only blame teen ageness for this. After all, Peter is not an ordinary boy. He is a genius.

“Ohh, Don’t worry Aunt May, I will look for him and talk to him.” Since Peter is not at home, Lin Rui doesn’t plan to stay here anymore, and he plans to leaves.

“Well, Jackson, you are always welcomed here.” After walking Lin Rui to the door, Mei said with a smile.

“I Know.” Lin Rui had quickly left Peter’s house after saying that.

Walking on the side of the road, Lin Rui’s shadow was stretched by the setting sun and the dark feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.

“Peter, where the hell are you?”
