There must be something wrong.

When Lizzie witnessed Howard's death for the first time, her heart was overwhelmed and she was about to be torn apart; but when she experienced this scene for the second, third, and fourth times, she felt that she was already numb. Even tears could not flow from the dry eye sockets.

In total, she went back in time a dozen times to mark the node.None of them worked.

It is still such a narrow path, it is still the roaring locomotives and cars, and it is still Howard's unstoppable eyes.

It's not that she hasn't tried other methods: she just pestered Bucky and begged him at first, but it didn't work for him; so she fought against her brother in order to save Howard's life. A bloody hole was pulled out, and the Winter Soldier almost took out half of her right arm bone.

Although the wound healed quickly, frustration and panic followed.

The more she protects Howard and Maria, the more furious the Winter Soldier becomes.There are weapons hidden all over his body, and he himself is a sharp blade.If the knife is broken, he still has a gun; if the gun is out of bullets, he still has a fist...

Going back in time twelve times left twelve irreversible wounds on her arm.Fortunately, the time markers didn't land inadvertently. They cut the skin of her arm with precise position and force evenly, but made her look like she had encountered a serial murderer on Eighth Avenue.

It didn't hurt very much, and Lizzie studied them as if she were observing a new birthmark on a child's bottom.After experiencing twelve failures, she was indeed a bit exhausted, but thanks to the "blessing" of Hydra, her ability to resist blows became very strong, and the more difficult she was, the more she could withstand despair.

Yes, there must be something wrong.

Lizzie Barnes knows James Barnes, and she knows The Winter Soldier.Countless nights when the north wind howled, they hugged each other to keep warm, and Bucky's iron arm was connected to the nerves, exuding a rigid heat.But for a person, half the tube of blood is hot.

It's not that Lizzie is confident, but Bucky still kills the killer even though she obstructs him in every possible way. This fact is unreasonable in her eyes.

—Perhaps she could go back in time a little further.

She made up her mind and rotated the Eye of Agamotto by a few tenths of a turn.With the spell gushing out of her mouth, a huge cocoon of light appeared in front of her.

As soon as the finger touched it, the light cocoon seemed to be cut by a sword.She stepped into the aperture.

……

No.13 time backtracking.

She put her feet on the ground and stood still, shaking her head.Feeling fine, no nausea.

But the surrounding environment was too bad, so bad that she couldn't restrain the nausea from her stomach when she took a look at it——

This is the Hydra branch base.

It's no different from all secret training bases: dark corridors, iron cages and freezers that can't be seen to the side.

The human voice not far away is the only source of sound in this cold place.

Following the faint voice, she groped towards the brightly lit central cabin.

That's where the Winter Soldier thaws out.

She took a quick look inside—a look that led her to see her brother Bucky.He looked like he had just come out of the freezer, his upper body was shirtless, and his delicate muscles were chilling.

She was late, he had already undergone a total brainwashing, and now he was the soldier who asked the commander to kill him.

His voice was emotionless: "Soldiers obey orders."

Lizzie's fingers closed little by little, and she couldn't help clenching into a fist.

The one standing in front of him was Vachely, a senior soldier from the Soviet Union.Lizzie remembered that after he was promoted by the headquarters, Pierce won the takeover rights of several bases from him. That was after 2001.

Now the Soviet soldier smiled indiscernibly, and closed the red handbook full of brainwashing words in his hand.

"Soldier, stand by."

"We will arrange numbers 03 and 04 to practice fighting with you later to maintain our strength."

Numbers 03 and 04 were both experimental samples injected with Hydra enhancer. Their serum concentration was very high, but the experiment was not considered a success. They were just big guys with empty muscles.Lizzie's number is 00, just because she, like the Winter Soldier, is a successful case of the fusion of precious super soldier serum and human beings.

The Soviet soldier's walkie-talkie vibrated, and the message was received in time.He paused as he was about to step out of the open space of the center cabin, with a smile on his face.

"We're on a mission."

Bucky stared at him coldly, unmoved.

Vachery acted nonchalantly, and even snapped his fingers leisurely: "01 and 02 are outside, 03 and 04 are injured—"

He counted from the first finger to the seventh, and then back again, and then stopped a little happily, as if he had lifted a heavy burden:

"Ha, luckily we still have 00."

When the number "00" came out, Lizzie's pupils constricted.Bucky's dark green eyes flashed from the eyes that hadn't deviated from them just now.

His eyelashes drooped and his voice was hoarse.

"What mission."

He knows number 00 is his sister.He asked this sentence completely out of uncontrollable instinct.

A nerve in his blank brain, which had undergone brainwashing just now, was touched, like a small wooden stick stirred in the deep sea, stirring up his remaining self-consciousness.

Vacheri recounted slowly: "Mission target: Howard Stark, mission content: rob us of the S.H.I.E.L.D. super soldier serum. Remarks: No survivors will be left at the target site."

They need to rely on the technology of S.H.I.E.L.D. to make more perfect experiments.If successful, they will be the main force of the new death squad.

When Lizzie heard Howard's name, she fell into an ice cave at that moment.

Vaseli's eyes sparkled: "Why, are you interested?"

Everyone sees the Winter Soldier as a programmed machine, but Vacheri sees it differently.

He could see the faint gleam of personal will in the Winter Soldier's heart.

At the beginning, the blood link between him and Lizzie Barnes was left without choosing to wash it away. This method has advantages and disadvantages: the disadvantage is that the program of this "machine" is sometimes destroyed by a small family virus. Chaos, which means it takes more effort to control him.

But the good thing is——

You see, what an interesting blood connection, it gave him a surprise.

As soon as Howard's name came out, the Winter Soldier felt something.But that was only a brief tenth of a second, and this emotional ups and downs were quickly suppressed under the ruthless ocean.

But Vacheri's eyes are so vicious, he caught this pause, and then flashed his poisonous snake-like eyes with regret:

"Well, well, we don't have so much time for you to hesitate." He patted the dust on the red manual, "If you are willing, it will be the best candidate for the task; if you don't have this plan, number 00 is also a Good choice."

Bucky stared at him with inorganic pupils.

His voice was low, and he didn't give himself a chance to repent:

"Don't look for her. I'll take it."

……

Lizzie couldn't tell how she felt right now.

She didn't seem to have the urge to cry, but there was still a very strange emotion in her chest, which overwhelmed all her senses. If she had to give this emotion a name, it would probably be——

despair.

However, this "despair" was suppressed by her abrupt use of psychological control.It was not easy, and she felt a puddle of blood flowing out of the place where she suppressed her feelings, ready to spurt out at any time.

In the thirteen time regressions, 370 minutes, 2 seconds, she was an insect on high alert, having escaped countless insecticide attacks, but at this moment, she was easily caught by the spider web corner.

She was crushed by Bucky's words.

A voice deep inside was saying, louder and louder:

It turned out to be because of you.You are the source of the whole tragedy.

Her emotions were blocked by strong psychological cues, and her tears were contained in a tightly sealed jar, so she couldn't mobilize them.Now she felt that the whole person was empty, only dazed.

A variety of images flashed in front of her eyes: one moment was at the base, she hugged the newly brainwashed Winter Soldier, and kissed him on the forehead; I protect you."

The last scene is fixed on Christmas Eve in the Avengers Building.Bucky stood up under everyone's complicated gaze, and silently took off the apron tied around his waist.

The same rope hanging from the ceiling that had choked Bucky fell again, and it was now around Lizzie's neck, making it hard for her to breathe.

Her own brother, the Brooklyn youth who had once happily pirouetted and flirted with girls, had grown into a sheltering tree before she knew it.

He took two vital lives for her, and never slept well since.Every time he dreams back at midnight, every bloody face is torturing his recovered conscience.

How innocent is this young man!After he became Hydra's humanoid weapon, the remaining family affection in his heart made him suffer, making him instinctively raise his fist to protect his sister.

The blood bond made him keenly feel: she can't kill the mission target.And the name "Howard" was like a needle that pricked him, making him instinctively connect this name with Lizzie.He couldn't remember how close they were, and the reality didn't allow him to think too much, so he roughly cut off this option that would embarrass her.

However, the most ridiculous thing is that the Winter Soldier was brainwashed to become the Winter Soldier, but he didn't know that his sister was not.

Number 00 has her own little secret that has never been discovered by anyone. Her mutant ability comes from her powerful mind.

Lizzie wanted to rush over, hug this young man who had just made a wrong decision, and yell to tell him——

Don't do this!No need to do this!Your sister is powerful, she has never been controlled by Hydra!

She can refuse!Decline this mission...

……

Suddenly, a burst of coldness swept over her.

Can she really say no?

As a sober and conscientious individual, once the order is given, she will definitely not be able to deliver it successfully; however, when the task fails, let alone whether her ability will be exposed, Hydra will never spare her.

Bucky sees this more clearly than she does.

She thought of his hoarse voice saying "Go back!" again and again, his furious and determined eyes, and his drawing his gun and swinging his knife again and again.

In the cold, empty sea of ​​consciousness, protecting her is his only remaining instinct.

……

Lizzie's eyes were completely red because of the bloodshot, and the fierce roar broke through the control, like a wild animal escaped from the cage.

The clenched hand accidentally touched the wall and pressed the red round button.For a moment, the lights were turned on, and the entire space was filled with screaming sirens.

Vacher turned his head quickly: "Who touched—"

He was stuck in the middle of the sentence, with a dumbfounded expression.In just a split second, he saw people who should never be in the center cabin.

Number 00.Her figure flashed past, but he still saw her face clearly.

His heart set off a stormy sea.

The Winter Soldier stood up abruptly, looking gloomy.

……

Lizzie started to run, followed by a group of pursuers.Miscellaneous soldiers in the base emerged in endlessly, coming from all directions, like a large net that was gathering quickly.

Her heart beat faster.Fortunately, the feeling of familiarity with the entire base has not disappeared. She followed her intuition and ran all the way until she got rid of everyone, turned three turns in a row, and opened a secret door at the end of the road.

——then the footsteps stopped.

Her nerves collapsed, and the pores all over her body swelled in a state of high tension.

The light is dim.Cold air gushed out from the dark blue freezer.

She saw herself.

The next second, "she" seemed to sense something and opened her eyes.

So, the four eyes met.

The author has something to say: Maybe it's because I'm in a sad mood, yesterday's comment hit me... I'm too glassy, ​​sorry.

The abuse was my fault, and it will be gone in about one more chapter.that is it……
