Chapter 944: S.H.I.E.L.D. Information
Although the Hoverboard is enough to carry Lin Rui and Bucky, and the speed is also very fast but Lin Rui decides to leave the Hoverboard behind because it was not produced by him and may contain a tracking device from OsCorp. He wants to continue his journey without the risk of being located and has other things he needs to take care of. And, Lin Rui has something to leave behind.
“I’ve been meaning to ask you something for some time now, Jackson,” Bucky finally spoke, unable to contain himself any longer upon hearing Lin Rui’s response.
“What?”
“Have you already recovered your memory?”
Lin Rui: “…”
After walking slowly on the side of the road for another half an hour, two people finally flagged down a self-driving jeep on this stretch of intercity highway. They smoothly got on the ride and headed toward an unknown city.
…
And when Lin Rui and Bucky decided to travel to the next city, Johnny and Roxanne were not yet back in Rochester. Before returning to Rochester, Johnny had to go to the cemetery to meet with Carter Slade, the previous generation’s Ghost Rider.
As someone who has lived for over 200 years, Carter Slade could offer valuable insights and guidance for Johnny’s future as the Ghost Rider.
In Rochester, Johnny and Roxanne have gone missing and Mack has provided some clues. The police and SHIELD have compiled several potential suspects based on Mack’s description, but they have been unable to find any matches for the depiction of Blackheart, a devil-like figure.
However, SHIELD’s Falcon has taken a particular interest in the description of another young man, even though the local police system in Rochester has not shown any response to this description.
Falcon sat in the temporary office belonging to SHIELD, staring intently at the computer screen in front of him. On the screen was a portrait of a young man that had been drawn based on Mack’s description. Mack’s memory was not very accurate and the description had some discrepancies, so the image produced by the system was likely different from the real person. However, Falcon felt a sense of familiarity with the image.
“Who the hell is this guy? Why does it feels like I’ve seen him before?” Falcon thought to himself as he continued to gaze at the portrait.
Dī Dī Drops!
As Falcon was deep in thought, his tablet beeped to alert him to an incoming video call. He quickly grabbed the tablet and accepted the call.
“Captain…” As soon as Falcon accepted the video call invitation, Rogers’ face appeared on the tablet. Falcon was surprised to see a small smile on Rogers’ face, something he hadn’t seen since the Siberia incident.
“Captain, what’s going on?” Falcon asked, trying to hide the doubts in his mind.
“Yes, we’ve received some new information about the case you’re currently working on,” Rogers replied to Falcon’s question.
“What kind of information do you have?” Falcon asked, intrigued. “I’ve been investigating this case thoroughly and haven’t found anything so far. And the information that Mack provided seems hard to believe. I’m very interested in hearing what you have to say.”
“Regarding this Johnny character, if he returns, you should stop investigating him and inform the local police that this incident has been classified as an A-level incident within our organization,” Rogers said seriously in response to Falcon’s inquiry.
“An A-level incident? Is he that important? Could it be…” Falcon said in surprise upon hearing Rogers’ response.
An A-level incident is second only to an S-level incident within SHIELD in terms of the threat it poses to the safety of the entire earth. Based on what Falcon has investigated so far, it seems that this guy who got angry wouldn’t be enough to warrant an A-level incident. However, if what Mack said is true, then perhaps an A-level incident is still underestimating the situation.
“We can discuss the specific details when you return. For now, let’s just leave the matter of Johnny be and don’t worry about him whether he comes back or not. However, I do have another mission for you,” Rogers said, not elaborating further in the video.
“What is the mission?” Falcon asked, still puzzled but more interested in the next mission.
“It’s the young man described by the eyewitness. I hope you will do your best to find him,” Rogers said.
“Understood. I’ll do my best to locate him,” Falcon replied.
…
As Johnny drove Roxanne back to Rochester and made his way through the city and to his house, he was relieved to find that no police cars were stopping him. However, he couldn’t shake the feeling that someone was watching him.
Da Da Da ~
As Johnny and Roxanne arrived at his house and stood in front of the ruins, they heard footsteps behind them. Johnny turned to see Police Captain Dolan and Special Agent Edward approaching them. There were just the two of them, with no other special police or anyone else with them.
“Hello, Johnny, and Miss Roxanne,” Captain Dolan said as he approached, giving them a friendly smile.
“Hello, Captain Dolan. We can explain what happened here,” Roxanne said as she stepped forward with a worried expression on her face.
“Well, what we need now is an explanation. Should we go to the police station first or the hospital first? Your manager is still lying in the hospital, but he’s doing okay,” Captain Dolan said in a discussing tone upon hearing Roxanne’s words.
“Uh…are you sure? You weren’t…?” Roxanne looked a little uncomfortable at Captain Dolan’s attitude.
“That was before, and now we know some things. So, you can go to the police station to give a statement later,” Captain Dolan said quickly, waving his hand at the dumbfounded Roxanne.
“Johnny, what’s going on?” Roxanne asked, walking up to Johnny and looking confused.
“Let’s go see Mack first. As for going to the police station, we’ll definitely cooperate,” Johnny said after sizing up Captain Dolan and Special Agent Edward a few times.
“Okay,” Captain Dolan said, smiling even more brightly upon hearing Johnny’s answer.
Following Captain Dolan, Johnny and Roxanne went to the city hospital to see Mack, who was still bedridden. Mack was overjoyed to see them both back safe and sound. He asked about the “devil,” but Roxanne brushed it off.
Anyway, in the matter of Blackheart and Ghost Rider, as long as the police do not investigate further will be classified as flame special effects and the illusion of passers-by.
