Chapter 45. You know too much!
Walking further in from the hall, you can see three portraits hanging in the corridor. They are the three founders of S.H.I.E.L.D.
The one in the middle is Howard Stark, who looks very young and full of vigor. The one on the right is a wavy-haired, heroic woman, Peggy Carter, the woman that Captain America has always been thinking about. The one on the left is a slightly... Lei Mu glanced at him and looked away without stopping.
There is an office further down the corridor.
Lai Mu looked around. If he remembered correctly, one of the storage racks here could be pushed open and there was an elevator behind it.
Sure enough, on the left.
He went down the elevator and found a hidden room below.
The lights here automatically lit up with his arrival...as if someone was controlling them.
There are many old computers in the room. It's actually quite amazing that someone can upload himself into these antiques and live on.
As Lai Mu walked to the center of the room while looking around, the computers in the room that were all off suddenly started flashing with snowflakes and turned on automatically, with countless flashing indicator lights.
A middle-aged male's electronic voice sounded at the same time.
"Welcome, Sky Knight. It's been a long time since I've had visitors here, and guests like you are even rarer."
A picture of a dwarf wearing glasses and rolling his eyes appeared on one of the screens.
Arnim Zola.
After World War II, S.H.I.E.L.D. had a Paperclip Project to recruit German scientists to work for it, and it was at this time that Zora was recruited into S.H.I.E.L.D.
It was also at this time that S.H.I.E.L.D. began to slowly transform into SHIELD.
Lai Mu was a little surprised, "You know me?"
"Of course, you are the famous Avengers, the main person who planned to repel the aliens, and the hero who won an interstellar war for mankind... Although no one knows your true identity so far, I guess..."
Before he could finish his words, a pale green laser suddenly burst out in the air, crossing all the computer equipment in the room from left to right.
Avada Kedavra!
Lai Mu sighed, turned and left.
"you know too much!"
He got on the elevator and left quietly.
The only things left in the room were various devices that were flashing sparks and gradually catching fire.
Zora died with his eyes open... and I haven't said anything yet!
"Oh right, Sophie. Detect the data escape and make sure that so-and-so is completely dead."
'Yes, I understand.'
Before leaving, Lai Mu wanted to leave a nuclear bomb as a gift for the camp as per custom, but considering that the place still had some commemorative value, he gave up in the end.
On the way back, while flying in the air.
Lemu was just thinking that Nick Fury should have almost finished his work when a communication request popped up on the inner screen of the Ghost Armor, from S.H.I.E.L.D.
As soon as the call was connected, I heard Nick Fury's excited and angry voice, "Jarvis!"
Lai Mu was a little confused...
What's going on? What's going on with Jarvis? Did he eat your rice?
On the other side, Nick Fury's roar continued, "Fuck you! What the hell do you want to do!"
"You have taken control of all SHIELD's satellites and networks! Now the entire SHIELD is managed by Jarvis!"
"Are you planning to turn the entire SHIELD into your and Stark's personal property? Fuck!"
Ignoring Nick Fury's accusation, Lemu nodded nonchalantly, speaking calmly and slowly, "So this is what you are talking about?"
"That's not my fault... You have to know that a certain SHIELD director was so wise and powerful that he corrupted the entire SHIELD into a snake den. As a consultant to SHIELD, I must shoulder my responsibilities, so I asked Jarvis to assist you in your work."
"You're welcome. This is what I should do."
If he hadn't said it, Nick Fury would have almost forgotten that this guy was a SHIELD consultant hired by him personally.
But even as a consultant! Is this your responsibility? !
Lai Mu's voice continued.
"…If you must thank someone, then go thank Tony. Although I have the authority of Jarvis, he is actually Tony's personal butler."
"Fuck..."
Lai Mu pressed the mute button—the spell was interrupted!
"By the way, I found a soldier controlled by Hydra in the Hydra base in Siberia. He is an old comrade of Captain America. Please send someone to pick him up later."
"Okay, that's it, bye."
/——————
Malibu, California, United States.
Back at his villa, the ghost armor carried Lai Mu down from the sky and landed on the rooftop.
Winter Soldier Barnes was lying on the floor of the rooftop, unconscious and in a coma.
He was launched to Malibu by a rocket, and then was caught by the battle angel robot left in the villa by Lei Mu and dropped here.
Lai Mu stepped out of the armor.
He looked at Barnes in front of him, thought for a moment, raised one hand and placed it above his forehead, and bits of starlight fell from his hand.
Judging from the information found in the Hydra base, they brainwashed the Winter Soldier mainly from two aspects.
One is to use drugs and electrical stimulation to damage specific parts of the brain, causing the Winter Soldier to lose his memory.
The other is to instill the Winter Soldier with the instinct to obey orders through physical torture.
This kind of amnesia caused by brain trauma is relatively easy for Lai Mu to deal with.
Even if you leave it alone, the brain has a chance to repair the injured area by itself, thereby actively restoring memory. To speed up the process, using some methods to promote brain recovery should also work.
Over the years, Lai Mu has accumulated quite a few restorative skills in his skill list, including several that can be used on others.
He carefully avoided the dark circles on Barnes' face and injected energy into Barnes' brain.
The lost memory is easy to deal with, but the psychological trauma Barnes suffered and the implanted instinct to obey orders can only be diluted by time or psychological treatment.
After treatment, the Winter Soldier remained in a coma.
Lai Mu took out a bottle of mineral water from the dimensional space, unscrewed the lid and poured it on his face.
Stimulated by the cold water, the Winter Soldier opened his eyes confusedly, but he still seemed unfocused.
"One, two, three, look here... How do you feel? Have you recovered your memory?"
Lemu held up a finger and waved it in front of him, but the Winter Soldier didn't even bother to look at it.
It’s over! I’m not going to be stupid!
Lai Mu clenched his hand hard, and the remaining half bottle of mineral water splashed all over Barnes' face.
Winter Soldier Barnes shuddered, and finally some color appeared in his eyes.
He looked up at the blue-haired guy in front of him, then looked at the ghost armor behind him, and nodded silently.
"I'm fine... I remember you. You were the one who brought me out of the base?"
Lai Mu breathed a sigh of relief and handed over a towel.
"It's okay."
Otherwise, Captain America will come after me and kill me.
Chapter 46. Winter Soldier Barnes
"You can call me Barnes."
Lai Mu nodded, "I know."
It looks like the memory has indeed been restored.
"Stay here and don't move... Someone will come to take you to see your old friend, Steve Rogers."
Steve Rogers?
Barnes was very excited when he heard his good friend's name.
He didn't even bother wiping his face or taking the towel, and he got up from the ground in an instant, "He's still alive? Steve is still alive!"
"Of course, you are alive, let alone him."
Lai Mu turned around and was about to leave, but then stopped as if he thought of something.
He looked at Barnes with a strange look in his eyes, which made him, a strong man nearly two meters tall, feel uncomfortable.
That kind of look is like looking at a lab mouse.
Barnes asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay... there is something wrong. If, I mean if."
Lemu walked around Barnes and said, "If there is such a possibility, your memory can be restored to the time before you were transformed into the Winter Soldier. All the pain and bad memories you have endured over the years will disappear."
"Your arm can be restored to normal as well... would you like that?"
As he spoke, Lei Mu glanced at Barnes's mechanical hand.
The hand has a red five-pointed star on the shoulder, which was made in the former Soviet Union. After so many years, it has not rusted at all, looks very flexible, and has excellent quality... It has a certain collection value.
The Winter Soldier subconsciously shifted his gaze along with Lei Mu's steps. After listening to him, he lowered his head silently and stared at the ground, as if he was thinking and weighing seriously.
The clouds on the horizon change unpredictably in the sea breeze, sometimes gathering into a ball, sometimes breaking into small pieces, ethereal, violent and fast. Under the clouds, the waves constantly wash over the reefs, bringing about a cycle of never-ending erosion.
