Warlock of the Marvel Universe

"In other words, since your body was found to be irredeemable in 1972, your mind was transferred to these tapes?" Peggy Carter shook her head. "I never remember approving such a project."

"Of course." Zola said in an emotionless voice, "Ms. Carter, you maintain a very harsh attitude towards those who have participated in Hydra, just like you did towards Werner Reinhardt. In that case, you rejected his request for a deal and cruelly threw him into a dark prison to wait for death."

"He deserves it!" Peggy Carter said sternly. Even after many years, she still couldn't forget the scenes she saw after she led the Howling Commandos to break through Reinhardt's base.

"Maybe." Zola said in a calm tone, "But there are also many people who believe that your harsh attitude is due to your narrow revenge mentality after losing Captain America and your inability to think rationally. And with Instead, they believed that given the proper control, my talents and knowledge could help their careers."

Howard...Peggy Carter slowly closed her eyes. At that time, she was still one of the most powerful people in SHIELD, so there was only one person who could go beyond her authority and accomplish this.

"I did help their career, but I also helped my own career. Accessing the archives..."

Next, Zola Yili, as a good brother of the leader of Hydra and a good employee who never asked for wages and benefits, made a detailed work report to Captain America and the others.

"Hydra was originally founded on the belief that freedom cannot be given to humans, but what we didn't realize is that if we take freedom by force, they will resist. The war has taught us a lot. Human beings need to give up their freedom and voluntarily of giving up.”

"In the past 70 years, Hydra has been secretly fueling various crises in the world in order to draw nourishment from them. When people are unwilling to cooperate, we will change history."

Among the pictures released by Zola, there are various pictures of powerful dictatorial leaders and the Winter Soldier carrying out assassination operations. It can be seen that in modern history, Hydra has always played an important role.

"Has no one noticed your actions?" Natasha asked in disbelief.

"Accidents always happen..." Zola released pictures of Howard's death in a car accident and Nick Fury's death in an assassination. His answer was very clear. It's not that no one noticed their existence, but these people were all kept secret. of assassination.

"Hydra created a world of extreme chaos, and humanity was finally ready to sacrifice freedom for safety."

For some reason, Zola's tone did not fluctuate at all. If it were a normal human being, such a final declaration would have been impassioned.

"The capital of the United States, the capital of the United States, the largest intelligence organization, collapsed, collapsed...Hydra, Hydra is going to cause trouble...among the crowd, among the crowd, one person died, the black bald head!"

Captain America, Peggy Carter and Black Widow were confused at the time. They had just said it well, why did they suddenly become so evil?Is it the cassette?These broken machines from decades ago are just unreliable...

But when they turned around, they discovered that Evanson was holding a knob on the console, spinning it around like a DJ, playing with great enthusiasm.

"Hey, have you had enough fun? We are saving the world, can you be more serious?!"

"Really, there is no sense of humor at all." Faced with everyone's unanimous criticism, Evanson had to stop angrily. "Do you know that in YouTube, videos of ghosts and animals are generally the most popular."

However, others still looked at him with dead eyes. Even Zola's many chassis were spinning and spinning, maybe rewinding. He really felt that he had maintained the same attitude for decades just now. Thinking, my sanity almost collapsed.

"But I listened to what he just said." Evanson scratched his head. "Actually, I think what he said is quite reasonable."

"Huh?" Captain America and the others' eyes suddenly widened, and even Zora's spinning tape paused for a moment.

Does this make sense?How unstable is your ideological stance? You can be brainwashed so easily!

"It's not difficult to understand." Evanson shrugged. "Free will is extremely important. This is generally recognized by humans. But in the final analysis, humans are just a kind of creature. Since they are creatures, they must maintain Self-existence and ensuring the reproduction and survival of the race are the most important first instincts engraved on genes, so whether safety or freedom is more important is indeed a sharp topic worth thinking about."

"Why do you think so?" Natasha frowned and asked strangely, "Why do you think freedom will definitely hinder safety?"

"Fundamentally, that's it." Evanson patted Zola's screen, smiled and said, "Human beings who are supposed to be ignorant and live a simple life are tempted by the so-called free will. It's like a vicious evil. The so-called freedom is the infectious disease, and it must be cut off as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Zola's camera moved up and down, expressing great agreement, but Captain America sneered at this: "The people have been freed, but they are regarded as suffering from a disease. To be so afraid is really the responsibility of a tyrant." idea."

"Really?" Evanson snorted, "The wise are confused. Once the people have their own will, once they have so-called freedom, they will compare others with themselves, but in the end achieve nothing, and thus resent the world. "

"Only when the so-called ugly individual freedom is removed, will this world be an eternal paradise? It is precisely because of ignorance that the people can enjoy a stable life."

"How arrogant are you people who insist on spreading the so-called free will! How safe is this world and our country that recognizes free will?"

"When the free people see themselves, they will feel that they are smarter than others and blame others, which will lead to discrimination, hostility, and mutual disapproval, which will eventually turn into endless wars, leaving only endless lamentations."

"Just like us, the so-called superheroes, humans actually tolerate and worship alien existences like us, and place their hope in accidental and deformed existences like us to protect their safety. So it is conceivable that having freedom How much despair do they face in their hearts?"

"It's simply the legendary Hell of All. Just thinking about it makes one's hair stand on end."

After hearing what Evanson said, everyone was stunned for a moment.Captain America was speechless. He naturally believed that free will is right. No matter how long you wait for your freedom in the future, it is wrong. As for the reasons for all parties and the consequences, he never considered it at all, so He didn't know what to say at this time.

Peggy Carter and Natasha did think a lot, but the more they thought about it, the more they felt that what Evanson said made sense, and they couldn't help but have a faint idea of ​​​​agreeing with it.

No idea can be perfect. This may be the flaw of freedom. Once you have freedom, you will have random thoughts. You know clearly that the other party's statement is wrong and is completely unreasonable sophistry, but you can't help but want to agree with it.But if they are ignorant people without freedom, they will deny it simply and stupidly at the first time, because they have no thinking but only positions.

But Sarah’s idea is extremely simple. Do you also believe what the warlock says?This kind of statement that uses specious principles to deceive people into selling their world is simply a required course for a warlock, okay?What's all the fuss about?

"How's it going, Zora?" Seeing that everyone was silent, Evanson patted Zola's screen again. "This should be your Hydra's philosophy, right? This should also be considered as you continue to pass through this huge body. The results came out, right?”

"Hmm..." The tapes in Zola's case started spinning crazily. After a long while, he said, "That's right."

To be honest, boss, we just think that after people give up their freedom, it will be easier for us to rule and establish a new state of order.Maybe we have such profound thoughts, but we are all very old anyway, and we will never express them in such neutral terms.

"It would be a pity if that's the case." But at this time, Evanson suddenly changed the subject and stood next to Captain America, saying with a regretful expression that "this concept has no future when applied to the human world." of."

"Hmm..." Zola saw that the other party described his idea in detail and understood its essence, but his attitude changed drastically and he refuted it.But this did not make him feel angry. After all, in his current state, he had transcended the constraints of human emotions and could only think rationally, so all he felt was doubt.

The situation has changed, I need some time, the plan is postponed for 5 minutes...

"Why do you think so?" Zola asked.

"For the overall consideration of the future of mankind." Evanson solemnly explained, "If this idea is implemented, then the most ideal leader of Hydra should be you, and all the officials in power of Hydra should be like you. Just exist.”

"You were once a human being, and now you have transcended the human form, so you should know better what human beings are like. Although human beings are group creatures, they can never become a whole, because no matter how united human beings are, they will never be together. There is a barrier between them, which is the so-called wall of the heart."

"This indestructible barrier of the heart divides human beings into individuals. It cannot be broken through by any idea or force."

"What obstacle does this have to our plan?" Zola asked. "Human beings are separated from each other so they cannot unite. Because they cannot unite, they will hurt each other and there will be no security and order. That's why we let them give up their freedom and self." , to suppress this gap to the minimum level, which is a huge progress for the entire human world."

"But, are they just ordinary people who give up their freedom and self?" Evenson asked with a smile, "Aren't the leaders of Hydra human beings? Don't they have human emotions? They will give up their freedom and self, completely Observe order and eliminate barriers?”

"..." Zola fell silent and calculated the question raised by Evanson.

"Your concept is actually not new." Evanson continued, "In the final analysis, it is nothing more than an ultimate concept of ignorant people. The people are ignorant and do not know good and bad, good and evil, so they stick to their duties and anything other than obeying is wrong. Yes, so I don’t dare to act rashly.”

"Such a world seems safe and prosperous, but it has no future at the human level, because the consequence of this concept is to fool the people first and then the rulers, and the top and bottom are tied together to be stupid. In theory, it can create Create a world that has no future but is very stable.”

"But such a world and such a country have never appeared." Zola said after frantically searching in his database for a while. "Such a concept has indeed been implemented by countries, but there is no so-called stability, even if it is Without invasion by foreign enemies, rebellion and unrest continued from the country’s founding to its demise.”

"This is because the obscurantist policy suppresses the common people, but lacks control over the kings and nobles. Even the deeper this concept is implemented, the weaker the supervision of the kings and nobles becomes. They resist because of the natural emotions of human beings. They can’t resist the temptation of freedom, and because of the lack of supervision, they can do whatever they want and indulge in extravagance.”

"Humans don't know good and evil, but they know life and death, so when death is imminent, the chance of fighting is 100%." ​​Zola said with certainty through his own calculations.

"I am a well-informed person." Evanson put his hands on the console and looked at Zola's camera and said, "I know that there is such a race in the universe that implements such a concept. They have not sunk but It ushered in a rise that frightened many civilizations.”

"What race? How did you do it?" Zola's voice still had no emotion, but it could make people feel a little anxious.

"Zogs, they are not humans, not even mammals. They have no freedom and self, because they are born with none. Although they have superb intelligence, they still obey the simplest laws of the swarm and truly achieve unity. , there is only one super individual in the whole race who has the ability to think, and that is the Master."

"But this supreme master has no selfish desires at all, or because it is a swarm, his selfish desires are the desires of the entire swarm, and his goals are the goals of the swarm. A truly complete group does not have the consent and permission of the master. There will never be any fighting among them, and it can be said to be absolutely safe."

"And because of this highest degree of unity, the power of their ethnic group has developed to the extreme, which makes many civilizations fearful."

"Can humans do this? Can the leader of Hydra, like a master, keep his desires in perfect harmony with the entire human race?" Evanson asked one after another, "If not, even a trace of injustice Although harmony will not lead to the instant collapse of the entire powerful society, it will change all your ideas, from establishing a perfect new order to protect the security of all mankind, to becoming a tool of suppression that serves the private desires of the new rulers."

The tapes that carried Zola's thoughts spun at high speed for a while, and Evanson felt that the temperature in the entire room had risen. Could it be that this old boy wanted to heat us to death?

Click. After a while, most of Zola's tapes stopped. "The calculation is complete. The deterioration of the concept will inevitably lead to the deterioration of the system established on this basis. Its collapse will only be a matter of time. Human resistance is inevitable. , this will cause turmoil and war. Human beings voluntarily give up freedom to seek safety, but when they give up freedom, they do not get safety and a sound new order. In extreme despair, more and more people will join the resistance group. , which will lead to the largest war exceeding the scale of the two world wars."

"The final calculation result is that the probability of human beings being safe is 0, and the probability of human beings surviving a war of that scale is less than 20%."

"After the completion of the calculation and the success of the Insight Plan, in order to maintain its powerful rule, Hydra will not only deprive humans of their free will, but also carry out ultimate ideological confinement and deprive humans of their right to think. No new ideas or ideas will be allowed. If it appears, human civilization will be completely locked up or even go backwards, and mankind will lose its future.”

"Insight was a complete failure, that's the bottom line."

"Uh..." Captain America was dumbfounded. He glanced at Evanson in disbelief, "You can do it. It doesn't matter if you can deceive people. You can even deceive a computer?"

"So, can you tell us now what Project Insight is?" Captain America seized the opportunity and hurriedly asked Zola.

"There is no time." The door they came from just now suddenly opened. "Hydra has launched missiles here. It will arrive in 1 minute and 20 seconds. You must evacuate immediately and implement the anti-virus and corrective insight plan." ."

After saying this, the computer went completely silent, the camera lowered the screen and turned off. Zola had completely turned herself off.Speaking of which, if Zola was still a human, I'm afraid this outcome wouldn't have happened.But precisely because he has transcended the human form, he has turned the tape of his thinking path into a rational thinking computer.

No matter how similar his thoughts are to those in his lifetime, he may be scheming or thinking carefully, but in the end he has still lost the complexity of human beings.

In his thinking, there are no compromises, no ambiguous ideas such as possibilities, only confirmation and denial, only success and failure. He has no human emotions, no joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. Naturally, there will be no concepts of loyalty and betrayal. Only the only goal is left, to establish a new world of absolute security and absolute order based on the concept of Hydra.

And when he discovered that the insight plan written to realize this concept had major flaws that not only failed to ensure safety and order but also destroyed everything, he naturally classified the plan as a virus.

Since it is a virus, it cannot exist and an anti-virus program must be executed.
