Chapter 933: Chat and Regaining Consiousness

After organizing for SHIELD’s team to clean up the aftermath of the battle and gather any relevant information, Falcon left to report back to Captain America, who was his superior. Despite not having sustained any injuries in the battle, Falcon had used a lot of energy and needed to rest.

Boom!

Falcon climbed into the base vehicle at SHIELD headquarters and closed the door behind him. He then removed the damaged flying wings from his back, which had been caught by Ghost Rider’s hellfire during the battle. After taking off his equipment, Falcon grabbed a tablet and connected with SHIELD headquarters.

Dī Dī Drop~

After the tablet beeped to indicate that the communication connection had been established, Rogers’ profile picture appeared on the screen. 

Roger’s looked at Falcon through the video frame and asked, “Falcon, how’s it going over there?”

“Captain, the situation is somewhat unusual,” Falcon said, giving Rogers a serious look.

“Unusual? Why do you say that?” Rogers asked, pausing for a moment upon hearing Falcon’s response.

Rogers personally arranged for Falcon to be sent to Rochester as a backup for the mission, just in case the local police were unable to handle the situation. 

He had anticipated that Falcon might be able to resolve the matter on his own, or that Falcon might need additional support if the situation proved challenging. However, Rogers didn’t expect Falcon to describe the situation as unusual.

“We’ve analyzed the surveillance footage of Agent Edward returning to headquarters and confirmed that it’s real. I also just fought against the target and, based on what I saw, I’m pretty sure he’s not human,” Falcon said seriously as he looked at the confused expression on Rogers’s face on the tablet.

“Not human? Are you certain?” Rogers asked, his expression becoming serious upon hearing Falcon’s response.

They had recently suffered heavy losses while repelling an invasion by an extraterrestrial civilization, and now the Mirage Knight was missing and his fate was uncertain. If they were faced with another non-human incident now, it would be very difficult to handle.

While aliens can be explained through science and their weapons can be countered, non-human beings present a greater challenge. Conventional weapons may not be effective against them, and SHIELD has not yet begun studying supernatural events. 

It’s imperative that SHIELD establish an investigation department to handle supernatural occurrences.

“I wouldn’t be able to explain what I just experienced otherwise. My experience can’t account for the existence of the target. Captain, if you saw him with your own eyes, I’m confident you would come to the same conclusion,” Falcon replied in a serious tone, knowing that Rogers might still be skeptical.

“Alright, I trust you. Do you need any additional support? I can send Hawkeye or other Avengers to help you,” Rogers said, accepting Falcon’s words and inquiring about whether he needed further support.

“I don’t need it for now. During the battle, I noticed that the target seems to be avoiding fighting us and trying to escape. There are clearly a lot of things we don’t know about this incident,” Falcon said, shaking his head and declining Rogers’ offer of support. He then shared his thoughts on the situation.

“If you’re certain, then go ahead. I’m confident you can handle it,” Rogers said.

“Don’t worry, even if the opponent is non-human, I can still find their weaknesses,” Falcon replied.

Brush~

After discussing the situation briefly with SHIELD, Falcon ended the communication. He had declined Rogers’ offer of support because he didn’t want to divert too much of SHIELD’s core combat power for this matter. 

Furthermore, Falcon felt that there might be something hidden in the incident he encountered and he needed to investigate it carefully.

After losing contact with Rogers, Falcon began reviewing all the clues related to the incident. 

He hoped to find some clues that had previously been overlooked. While Falcon was sorting through the clues on his own, Mack, who had been rescued by the police from Johnny’s residence, was receiving the Recovery Serum in the intensive care unit.

Mack is Johnny’s manager and friend, so he was at Johnny’s house during the recent fight. The police recognized the importance of Mack and gave him the highest-end Recovery Serum, hoping to awaken him as quickly as possible and gather information from him.

SHIELD also provided a lot of assistance after learning that there were surviving witnesses, which helped Mack recover faster. In fact, although Mack’s injuries were serious, they were not fatal. 

The water monster’s attack was also meant to control and threaten Lin Rui, rather than kill him. When Blackheart left with the three of them, he threw Mack down first and didn’t harm him further, indicating that it was unnecessary.

Thanks to SHIELD’s high-end Recovery Serum, Mack quickly regained consciousness. As soon as he woke up, SHIELD immediately notified Falcon and began questioning Mack about Johnny and the mysterious man. However, Mack had been unconscious when Ghost Rider arrived and didn’t know what had happened to him. He did, however, witness the fight between Lin Rui and Blackheart.

“I’m telling the truth! That man is a devil! A real devil! His face can turn into a scary skull, and his eyes are full of black mist!” Mack emphasized to the police and SHIELD when asked about Blackheart, reiterating the image he had seen.

“We’re asking you about the guy who was on fire, but you keep talking about the guy with black mist. Are you intentionally misleading us because of your loyalty to Johnny?” Both the police and SHIELD were skeptical of Mack’s words.

The police and SHIELD had only encountered Johnny’s transformed Ghost Rider so far and had not seen Blackheart or the fallen angels who can control natural elements. Therefore, it was natural that not many people were willing to believe Mack’s terrifying descriptions of his experiences.

“I’m telling the truth! I really don’t know the guy with flames you’re talking about! But there really is a devil! He almost killed me! He can control the water and hide in the water!” Mack said anxiously while lying on his hospital bed.

The situation Mack encountered was so strange that there was no reason for him to lie for Johnny. He had almost lost his own life.

“I believe you!”
