The pickup truck drove smoothly and entered the city smoothly.
Fortunately, the traffic rules are the same as they were a few decades ago, so even an old antique like the Red Skull will not have any problems in this regard.
There is no doubt that the best place to get information is in a bar. There is a mixture of good and bad, all kinds of gangs, underground black markets, fugitives... there are all kinds of people.
The Red Skull first took a few laps around the city to get a clear idea of the city's terrain, write down the addresses of bars he could go to, and wait until dark before taking action.
There are too many things in the city now that he doesn't understand, but those are all details. He is more concerned about the macro-level social system. Technological progress will bring many new things, but the nature of society will not change.
However, the city seemed inconsistent with all the sociological theories he had in mind. What surprised him most was that there were no slums in the city.
This is something incredible!
If there is a society, there must be classes.
Where there is class, there must be wealth differentiation.
If there is wealth differentiation, there must be a group of poor people.
Throughout the ages, in all dynasties, the poor have occupied the mainstream of society.
The brighter the city, the more dark sides it hides.
The most obvious manifestation is that the poor are forced to gather in a corner of the city and live in old residential areas that are dilapidated, dirty, backward, crowded... These old residential areas have their own names. They may be called slums, shantytowns, or urban villages, but no matter what they are called, their essence will not change. They are a place for the oppressed people at the bottom to survive.
But Red Skull walked around the city several times, but he didn't find such a place.
Not only are there no slums, there are not even a few luxury houses.
Normally, the most prosperous areas of the city will inevitably have several landmark residential buildings. In order to show their status, rich people are very willing to buy the large flat floors at high prices. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and overlooking the bustling city, they can have a panoramic view of the mountains and small mountains, and at the same time, they can also get a unique and high-level sense of accomplishment.
But the buildings in this city are all made from the same mold, with the same height and appearance, and there is absolutely no sense of beauty. He even suspected that the rooms inside might be of standard size, exactly the same.
In such a shabby place, even if he wanted to find a gangster, he wouldn't know where to look.
After circling the street several times, Red Skull discovered that the police resources here seemed to be very weak. He actually didn't see a single police car or patrolling policeman. Of course, this may have something to do with the fact that everyone in the city is very law-abiding. He didn't find anyone doing anything illegal, not even violating traffic rules.
People in the whole city seem to be very high-quality, courteous to each other, don't argue or quarrel, and do things in a good manner. For example, they don't smoke in public places, don't spit everywhere, and take the initiative to sort garbage...except every time they have a conversation, everything Everyone holds an "Integrity Instrument" pointing away from the other person. This is simply a place like a paradise.
However, Red Skull never thought that Yin Tian Garden existed in this world. The more abnormal this city is, the more convinced he is that there must be a darkness hidden beneath this city that is far deeper than other cities. And what he, the Red Skull, is best at is digging into the dark side, and then he can achieve his goals with a gentle push from behind.
He wanted to find a secluded hotel to settle down first, but found that no hotel dared to accept him without legal documents. Even if he offered more money, the other party would not accept it and had to let him go to the government affairs hall to apply for a temporary residence permit first.
If the Red Skull had had his previous temper, he would have killed this man and occupied his hotel, but now he was very unfamiliar with this world and did not dare to act randomly, so he had to leave in anger.
Finally at night, the Red Skull drove to the selected bar, opened the door and walked in. The harsh music rang in his ears, giving him a familiar feeling. He stood at the door and looked around first, only to see that this place was not much different from the bar he remembered back then.
There were drunken drunkards everywhere, and all kinds of rude laughter and yelling filled the bar. If there is the biggest difference, it should be that there seems to be no women here wearing heavy make-up and doing business in the flesh.
But he wasn't here to find a woman, so he didn't care about it. He strode to the bar and took a photo of the largest denomination of the money he had snatched from the old white man he had killed on the bar.
"Have a glass of whiskey!"
The bartender was a short, fat man with a beard. When he saw Kang's guests, he immediately beamed. He reached out to put Franklin away, took out a wine glass from under the bar, poured the wine, added ice cubes, and handed it over.
"I haven't seen you before. Did you come from another island?"
Red Skull lowered his head slightly to prevent his face from scaring the other person, "This is my first time here. Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"
The bearded man shrugged and said in an aria-like tone: "Under the watchful eye of His Majesty the Great Emperor, you just need to live sincerely. Just abide by the laws and be the person the new world needs. Don't cheat, Don't commit crimes... As long as you are a good person in a moral sense, His Majesty the Emperor will bless you!"
"..." As soon as the Red Skull saw his appearance, he knew that the unknown Emperor had surveillance methods, such as the military police that had been assassinated back then. It's just that he doesn't have enough information to determine how to circumvent the surveillance.
He glanced around furtively, but none of the nearby customers paid attention. Then he pretended to be an addict and asked in a low voice: "Do you know where I can get the 'goods'? I'm better at stopping myself." It’s been a long time.”
The bearded man's expression changed, and he took out an integrity meter from under the bar, pointed it at the Red Skull, and asked in a cold voice: "Are you a rebel?"
"Of course not!" I am Hydra, not a rebel. Red Skull felt happy, as expected, the object of opposition will never perish.
Seeing the green light turn on, the bearded man breathed a sigh of relief and quietly released the alarm button under the bar. But he still did not let go of Chengxinyi, but continued to ask: "Are you opposed to His Majesty the Emperor's rule?"
"How could it be? It's too late for me to envy you!" If the person sitting on the emperor's throne was me, it would be truly perfect!
The Red Skull is also very good at playing word games, even self-hypnosis, and has long found ways to deal with the Integrity Meter. He believed that even if he walked in front of the emperor, he would be able to deceive him. Scientific instruments are always just tools. If this new world empire is capable of this, then it won't take much effort to subvert this place.
Feeling the feeling of envy transmitted by the Red Skull through the Integrity Meter, Big Beard was convinced that the other party was telling the truth, so he put the Integrity Meter away again.
"Hurry up and go to a drug rehab center to get rid of your addiction. There is no such thing in the entire empire. Once all drug dealers are caught, they will be killed immediately without trial."
"Wouldn't there be a lot of injustice?" Red Skull pretended to be surprised.
"How is that possible?" The bearded man picked up the washed wine glass, wiped it carefully with a clean dry cloth, glanced at him, and said in surprise: "Who dares to make an unjust, false, and wrong case? Will they die? What if someone If you are suspicious, you can file a complaint with the supervisory department, and you only need to ask a few questions. No one can deceive the integrity instrument, and no one can escape the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor."
"That's right." Red Skull lowered his head and took a sip of wine to hide the expression on his face.
How wonderful it is to be governed by man!
There are so many holes to exploit!
"Without the drug business, life will be difficult for the gangsters." Red Skull continued to talk.
The bearded man put down the glass he was wiping and looked at the Red Skull strangely, "Are there any gangs over there? All the gangs here are dead."
"Well...the original gangsters are all dead, but recently some Italians have emerged." Red Skull knew that he had said the wrong thing again, so he hurriedly prevaricated.
"Then how did they escape the monitoring of the magnetic field warriors?" The bearded man also became interested, leaned over and asked in a low voice.
Magnetic field warrior?
Got another new term, it seems that this is the Gestapo of the New World Empire.
"Their leader is a magnetic field warrior." Red Skull looked around in a conspiratorial manner, and then moved closer, touching his head with his bearded ear. According to his own understanding, he whispered a reason for the black and white collusion.
"Why do the magnetic field warriors form a gang? They are already the highest governors everywhere!" The bearded man didn't understand this at all.
"Who knows, I'm just an ordinary person, how can I know what the magnetic field warriors think." Red Skull stopped talking for fear of making mistakes if he said too much.
The bearded man was dubious, "Isn't it possible that he is not afraid that someone will complain to the palace?"
"Maybe he is a confidant of His Majesty the Emperor! Who can say for sure about this kind of thing." Red Skull hurriedly put the topic aside and changed the topic: "I also want to be a magnetic field warrior, but I don't know what to do at all. Just do it.”
The words of the Red Skull obviously also touched the bearded man. He threw away the work on his hands and sighed: "It's not just you, everyone wants to become a magnetic field warrior, but there are really too few people who can awaken the superpower of controlling magnetic fields. ”
The bearded man also poured a glass of wine, drank it down in one gulp, and said gloomily: "It is said that before the establishment of the New World Empire, everyone in New York could learn to master the rotation of the magnetic field. Unfortunately, no one cherished it. Now America has been shattered. Now, the original martial arts school has become a legend."
America is shattered?
Red Skull trembled in his heart and became highly alert.
What weapon was used? Even a continent can be broken into pieces.
If he mastered this, wouldn't he have the opportunity to challenge other countries in the world?
Could it be another Infinity Stone?
When he thought of the infinite benefits hidden in this, he couldn't help but feel warm.
In the following time, he spent all the money he robbed on the road with Big Beard, and also extracted a lot of valuable information from him.
When the bar was playing, he swayed out of the bar looking drunk, got in the car, and drove away.
Although this place is the original United States, which surprised Red Skull, but since even the continent is broken, the demise of a country is completely trivial. As for the current country that has actually returned to a monarchy, Red Skull doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.
As a supporter of the revolution back then, the Red Skull actually supported the dictatorship.
Especially the current emperor of the empire actually discovered the mysterious power that the Yuan Dynasty had never found back then, and created a group of magnetic field warriors. This made the Red Skull even more interested.
No one knows the importance of force better than the Hydras!
If there had been a group of magnetic field warriors like this under the head of state, the outcome of World War II would have definitely been rewritten.
Red Skull made up his mind to get himself a group of magnetic field warriors first.
As for the method... As long as you are a human being, you must have weaknesses. If you are calculating mentally but not intentionally, there are always more methods than difficulties.
As a Hydra, what he is best at is pulling people into trouble and infiltrating them secretly.
However, he still underestimated the spiritual awareness of the people of the New World Empire. Before he could start planning, the magnetic field warriors came to his door.
Since there was no hotel to stay in, he had to drive the car into the park and find a secluded place to park near the river, planning to spend the night. Anyway, he is a soul body now and can stay awake. But as soon as the car stopped, a figure fell from the sky and slapped the front of the car.
"Are you the one who was inquiring about information at Old John's tavern?" The magnetic field warrior stared at him coldly with squinting eyes. "He is wearing a cloak, hiding his head and tail. He doesn't look like a good guy at first glance. Get out of the car and put on the cloak. Pick it off, follow me back and explain the problem honestly, otherwise, I can kill you now!"
Damn old guy, he took the money on the front foot and sold himself on the back foot. Sooner or later, he will look good!
Red Skull cursed in his heart, but his body obediently opened the door and got out of the car.
He now knows how powerful the magnetic field warrior is and can kill people legally, so of course he doesn't dare to contradict him face to face. Moreover, he was very confident that he could deceive the so-called integrity meter, and he was not afraid to follow the magnetic field warriors to the police station for interrogation.
However, the magnetic field warrior's nose twitched slightly, and he walked to the back of the car in a few steps. He opened the trunk and saw the body of the old white man inside that the Red Skull had not yet processed.
The Red Skull was startled, and with a wave of his hand, he covered the magnetic field warrior with his cloak, then jumped back and plunged into the river on the side. He originally chose this place near the river for the convenience of escape. Who knew, this would be taken advantage of right away.
The magnetic field warrior sneered and shook his cloak into powder with a raised hand. Then he stretched out his hand and sucked the Red Skull back and strangled the Red Skull's neck.
"Haha, you tried to run away when you encountered the magnetic field warrior. You killed someone. It's a crime..." The man suddenly stopped mid-sentence, looked at Red Skull's face intently for a few seconds, and then asked hesitantly: "Red Skull?"
The Red Skull was about to activate the Space Stone when he suddenly heard the other party asking a question. He hesitated and nodded: "Yes, I am the Red Skull, and I am back!"
The magnetic field warrior's eyes wandered for a long time, and finally he gritted his teeth and whispered: "Long live Hydra!"
Now it was Red Skull's turn to be surprised, but he reacted quickly and immediately stretched out his hand to salute, "Long live Hydra!"
