Chapter 800: Deep-sea Secret Talk, Secret Past
It was still the giant submarine that was stealthing in the deep ocean. The first moment she entered it, Mephisto made a happy and excited voice at the man sitting high on the console.
"Congratulations, Smith. I must congratulate you, the backhand you left decades ago, doesn't seem to be invalid yet. No, it should be said that it is very effective now. I guess no one in this world can think of you leaving this secret backhand on that guy. They will be shocked and may even pay a huge price for it. Congratulations, Shengli once again smiled at you."
"This is a matter of course, there is no need to congratulate me because of this."
After not seeing each other for a while, Smith Zhou's body became thinner and thinner. Even if he wanted to stand up, he had to rely on the support of the woman beside him to do so.
From a human perspective, his physical condition is really bad. But Mephisto was not worried about him at all. Because he knew very well that this condition was only superficial. If the human opposite was willing, he could immediately use his own alchemy methods to restore his body to health. Taking a step back ten thousand steps, even if this guy can't use his own means to recover his health, isn't he still himself? You must know that he is a devil. Using the devil's means to make a human have a healthy body is just a trivial matter.
With this thought, Mephisto showed a bright smile on his face. Then, he looked at the man in front of him who had planned everything secretly and said to him.
"I appreciate your ability very much, Smith. Your tone of course seems to be as if everything is in your hands. It seems that working with you will not fail at all. This really makes me, the old man, sincerely feel relieved!"
"Do you think someone can take everything into your hands?"
Faced with Mephisto's praise, Baron Einzberen, or Smith Zhou, shook his eyebrows and suddenly said something like this.
And for this question, Mephisto's answer is.
"Of course, I don't believe that anyone can do this. I have lived for millions of years and have seen countless lives. Even the most outstanding people at the moment will always make mistakes. It's just that compared with ordinary people, their mistakes are not obvious, and they can always be saved in time. But you, Smith. You gave me a great surprise because your plan will always succeed. In fact, I'm wondering whether you have ever really failed?"
"Faith? Of course there is. Just like in the Third Reich, if I had changed the idea of the idiot above at that time, maybe everything is completely different now. But unlike ordinary people, I have become accustomed to leaving enough backup in advance every time when failure comes, so that I can have the capital to make a comeback. This makes me always have other plans to change the situation in a direction that is beneficial to me."
"It's like you did to that Captain America." Smith interrupted Smith's feelings, and Mephisto was as excited as a gambler talking about the Black Jack he had just seen. "This is what you've done the most amazing thing I've done. I think it's not just me, but no one in the world can think of you having such a backup plan. In fact, I'm very curious about how you did it all."
"It's just that you don't want to think like this, it's no big deal. You know, almost everyone who knows the inside story at that time knows that Steve Rogers was buried there. Why are they so sure that they will be the first to find him? This is an ideological misunderstanding. Since there is this misunderstanding, it's really easy to use it to lay a trigger."
After saying a few words, Smith Zhou's face turned pale. He began to cough violently, as if such activities had emptied all the strength in his body.
This look made the woman around him immediately show a warning look at Mephisto. Seeing this look, Mephisto wisely did not continue the previous topic, but asked as simply as possible.
"Okay, this topic has come to an end. Then, the General of the Conquering Conquering the perfect plan. Tell me what you plan to do next?"
Smith, who sat back with the help of Alexia, took a long breath and continued to say after his breathing calmed down.
"Wait. When Steve and Stark Jr. start fighting and have no time to take care of each other, we will start the arrangements at those two key positions. This is what we agreed on before, isn't it?"
"Of course, of course. I open the door for you, and you give me enough soul. A very cost-effective deal." Nodded, a look of expectation appeared on Mephisto's face. "So, all your arrangements are in place, are you waiting for this last moment?"
"Yes, my decades-long layout has reached the final ending moment. And I will deliver this final work to you. Mr. Mephisto, I hope that at this critical time, you will not let me down!"
Speaking of his plan, Smith Zhou's eyes had become sharper. At the same time, the aura of being in high positions for a long time and being killed and robbed was also begun to appear on his body, which made the weight of his speech heavier.
However, for a devil, this momentum has no obvious effect, except to make him feel the importance of his work.
"Don't worry, Smith. I'm an honest and trustworthy devil. I have no reason to deceive you when signing a contract like this, right?"
Mephisto, who was leaning on a civilized stick, acted elegantly, as if he was really an honest and trustworthy old-school gentleman. However, this behavior could not deceive Smith. As a legendary smart man, he was always on guard against the devil in front of him.
"That's the best. Well, my body no longer allows me to continue communicating with you. Let's meet again when the plan is opened. Before that, I don't want to see you here again."
"Of course, of course. Just as you said, we will see you again after the plan begins!"
Nodding, Mephisto's body began to turn into a dark shadow. He was about to disappear into the huge submarine. But before leaving, he still said to Smith Zhou.
"But before leaving, I still want to give you a suggestion, Smith. Your body is really too weak now. I think you should consider treating your body. At least in this way, I don't have to worry about you suddenly dying while implementing the final plan. In that case, I will have a headache. Hahahaha."
Amidst the crazy laughter, Mephisto completely left here. At this time, Alexia, who had been supporting Smith Zhou, bit her lip and said to the people around her.
"I don't like this cunning devil. The breath on him always makes me feel disgusted."
"I don't like him either, but now we still need his help."
Holding the hand of the person beside her, Smith Zhou assured her.
"He will not be so arrogant for too long. Soon, when our plan is successful, it will be the end of his long life. And then, you will share with me the eternal life and everything in this world."
"I believe you, Smith. Just don't know why, I always have some concerns."
While shaking the hands of the people around him, Alexia replied to the leader of Hydra.
"You always have a backup plan. Even you said it yourself. You have maintained an undefeated record through this method. But this time, you pressed everything up. I'm very worried that if something unexpected happens to our plan, then we will really have nothing. And this situation in your body may not be impossible until you regroup. So, I think you should consider the devil's statement."
"It's useless, Alexia."
Shaking his head, Smith Zhou directly interrupted all Alexia's thoughts.
"You don't understand how big a problem has occurred in my soul after so many reincarnations. It's not that I don't want to reincarnate again, but that my alchemy can no longer support me to do it again. I can only press everything on this, which is also my only turning point. Moreover, I don't want to repeat everything I have in the past."
"Everyone in this world who knows me thinks I have been winning all the time, but they didn't expect how much I paid for this victory and how many failures I got. It's like the end of the empire, or the biggest mistake I've ever made."
Speaking of this, Smith glanced at the woman beside him. He understood that Alexia had already entrusted her whole body to him. So he was also not stingy with his biggest secret.
"Do you know? I had already done the plan we are doing once many years ago. And that time I got a huge failure. I summoned something amazing. This thing has left my half-life hard work in vain. If it weren't for that thing, my current body would still be healthy for fifty years, and I wouldn't need to make such a deal with a devil. It was just because of a small accident that everything became what I am today. This is the stain of my life. I absolutely do not allow such things to happen again, nor do I have the ability to make him happen again. This is my last gamble, do you understand?"
"I understand!" Alexia said hard as she held the palm of her hand tightly. "I will always be by your side, forever!"
"I trust you!"
After saying this, Smith closed his eyes tiredly.
