"Have you met them?" Zemo asked. "Your brothers."

"No." Hela said, "I only know of their existence from the Asgardians, the prince of the Frost Giants and the son of Odin, the usurper of my throne."

"Do they know you exist?"

"No one knows of my existence." Hella said, "They all forgot about the former conqueror who laid the rich foundation for them."

"Odin did it?"

"Odin did it." Hela said, her tone filled with uncontrollable anger, so Zemo stopped bringing up the subject.

After a while, it was Hela who started to question: "Those people—they are not your comrades in arms, they are not your slaves, they are your tools."

"They were trained to be tools," Zemo said, "and they were willing."

"So you care about them, like you care about sharp weapons." Hella said, "I'm starting to like you."

Zemo wanted to refute Hela, because he subconsciously felt that this was wrong, but there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.He unfreezes Hydra's weapons in order to use them, and he even knows that the period of use will not be long-term, because sooner or later they will be out of control, and the password will no longer work.And then he quickly realized that this feeling of wrongness came from the resistance of the human part of him. Even if the Winter Soldier is Hydra, they are human, and they have a past-but Zemo has read their profiles, and none of them People are coerced, which means they volunteer to be killers, trained, for HYDRA's so-called goals, and it's these so-called goals that caused the deaths of Zemo's family.His humanity about the Winter Soldier is lost in this moment.

They soon arrived at the prison where the hydra was held. It was a castle in the ancient Sokovian kingdom. They were led into the cold stone wall. They saw the shaved head of the nine-headed snake behind the glass. Snake, he must have had a hard time in prison, Zemo could easily see the bruises and wounds on his face.

"You once participated in an operation in the border forest between Galvia and Sokovia, on December [-]th last year, but the operation failed." Zemo told him.

"Yes," said the man, "it failed, and the superior was furious about it."

He seemed to be very cooperative with the questioning, and Zemo believed that he had suffered a lot here to become so obedient-John Knight was surprisingly consistent with him in his attitude towards Hydra.

"Why did you fail?" Zemo asked. "Sokovia's stragglers are no match for Hydra."

"We found the team escorting the box." The man said, "One of them slipped away with the box, someone shot him, but he ran away, and when we found him, he was dead, The box was on the floor, but the contents were gone."

"Do you know what's in the box?" Zemo asked.

"I don't know at all." The man said, "I'm just a thug of Hydra. I will go wherever they point."

"So the box is there, but the contents of the box are not, and there was only one person who slipped away at that time." Zemo said.

"Yes, alone." The man said.

"How long had the escapee been dead when you went?" Zemo asked.

"More than ten minutes." The man said, "It's still fresh."

Zemo stood up and said to the man sent by John outside the door to help him: "Henry, can you find all the gathering places near the place where the mission was performed?"

"No problem, Colonel." Henry nodded.

"What did you find?" Hella asked, she seemed very bored by this.

"Nothing." Zemo said, "I can only guess that the contents of the box can't disappear out of thin air, they can only be taken away. He didn't find any traces of rescue nearby, which means that if someone took the universe Rubik's Cube is unlikely to be someone from the Sokovia military, we can only rule out possible people near the forest."

Hela didn't answer him, so he assumed that she already knew and ignored the goddess.

That night Henry gave him the map and the information about the buildings. He lived in a villa under the name of the Knight family. Hella was exploring with her magic anywhere other than Sokovia. Traces of the Rubik's Cube.Zemo, on the other hand, excluded some buildings and planned to ask the people in the remaining settlements tomorrow.

There are many villages near the forest, and there are some forest guards' huts. There is a military railway running through the center of the forest to the capital of Galvia. Since John Knight took office, the railway is often used to transport arms and Things like daily necessities.

When he took people to inquire one by one, he also had some clues.

One of them is a small village on the edge of the forest, where people often go into the forest to hunt, but it was midnight when Hydra performed its mission, and no one dared to go outside at that time.

The second one is an orphanage on the edge of the forest. This orphanage was only established in recent years. It was previously managed by the old Sokovia government. It is said that this villa used to be the property of a couple of mutants, but after their war After his death, the property was confiscated.When Zemo entered the villa with a group of people in military uniform, the dean seemed very nervous to greet him, and glanced many times at the Isis mask that covered half of Zemo's face.

After Zemo explained his intentions, he said that the children in the orphanage had a curfew. At the time Zemo said, both the teacher and the children were already asleep.Then, he seemed to be reminded by that date, and suddenly realized what he remembered.

"I remember," said the dean, "that something happened that night, maybe it wasn't that night—we found out only the next day that a child had escaped."

"A kid escaped?" Zemo frowned.

"Yes, that child was put on leave because of conflicts with the rest of the children, and we put him in confinement." The dean said, "Early the next morning, when we went to see him in the confinement room, we found that he had already passed away. Missing, the exhaust fan was taken apart by him."

Zemo asked the dean to take him to the confinement room. He saw that the direction of the vent was facing the dense forest. He frowned and asked, "What's the child's name?"

"That child's name is Hannibal, officer," said the chief, "Hannibal Lecter."
