The Light of Beauty

A silver glow pierced through the space, causing a short hiss.

After the edge was over, the bookshelf next to it and the books inside slanted down, and the cut surface was extremely smooth.

"Good sword." Ryan praised, and said: "But I don't like its appearance."

Melina looked at the mess, her eyes were calm.

"I think I know what you mean, but can you promise?"

"Although I don't need to promise you anything, but...you can."

After receiving such a definite reply, Melina closed her eyes instantly, feeling dizzy immediately.

Ryan glanced at her, and quickly speculated.

"Any new drug requires long-term research and experimentation. Even in the most evil organization, most of the experiments at the beginning were animals, such as those pigs you raised. When the drug is initially effective, most people will be very angry. Urgently apply for clinical trials to collect data. However, the Red House does not need to apply to anyone, and your clinical trials are probably directly used for observation on humans."

In the original plot line, the appearance of Melina and the destruction of the red house were after the Civil War, that is, around 2016.

About six years ago, whether it is long or not, it is not short.

But for drugs that can directly control the thinking of others, they should have at least entered the "clinical" stage.

Judging from Melina's expression and reaction, he guessed right.

Ryan sat back on the sofa, leaned on the sword with both hands, and asked, "Tell me, where have you been?"

Melina walked back with vain steps and began to tell.

Many years ago, the world structure at that time was still the well-known US-Soviet struggle for hegemony.

Two excellent agents, Alexei and Melina, sneaked into Ohio with their respective missions, and Melina entered the Northern Research Institute.

Everyone is also familiar with this institution. Although it is part of S.H.I.E.L.D. on the surface, in fact, all of them are Hydra scientists who quickly moved their positions after the defeat of Germany, that is, Red Skull John Schmidt. And the branch of Dr. Zola, which was later derived and merged, gave birth to the current Hydra headed by Alexander Pierce in S.H.I.E.L.D.

Mind control, sounds familiar?

Today's Hydra has very mature and powerful brainwashing methods, and the Winter Soldier they control is a group of cold-blooded killers who appeared earlier and were controlled by people.

Melina's current research results come from the same source as the "Winter Soldier" project.

It's just because the two parted ways later, and then two completely different branches were born.

Even judging from the results, although Melina's results were born later, the effect is even better.

The Winter Soldier project dissected and structured the brains of countless people, and creatively drew the first and only cell blueprint of the basal ganglia, which is the center of human cognition and controls the body's autonomous learning and procedural learning etc.

This blueprint, which has taken an unknown number of Hydra scientists' life-long efforts and experiences, is the mission goal and ultimate result of Alexei and Melina.

In addition, when he left the Northern Research Institute that year, Alexei blew up everything there, that is to say, Hydra completely made a new and expensive wedding dress for the current Red House on this project.

As agents, their mission was clearly an impeccable success.

But the results of the missions of the two of them cannot influence the course of world history.

After the task was completed, Yelena and Natasha were sent to the red house for training, and the two went to their own different destinies.

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Alexei, who disagreed with the authorities, was thrown into prison, and Melina became the chief scientist of the Red House step by step after being recruited by Dreykov.

No one in the family got any benefit from this, but fell into decades of pain and struggle.

The only one who seems to have the most comfortable life is Melina.

Looking at her trembling eyelashes, Ryan felt that in the past time, she should not have been so peaceful and peaceful as she seemed.

Up to now, human experiments on mind control drugs have been carried out for half a year, but Melina is not in charge of this part of the work, so all she knows is the data passed by the other party.

Dusk falls.

"During the experiment, less than ten people died due to the side effects of the drug. With continuous advancement and improvement, the current effect is getting closer and closer to the ideal goal set at the beginning. According to the plan of the meeting last month, we It will officially start mass production and put into use in early July."

Ryan nodded: "It seems that I came in time. However, do you know how many people have participated in the experiment so far?"

"Six hundred, 100 people a month. They come from different countries and regions in the world and do different jobs."

"Very well, then, what about the antidote?"

Melina pursed her lips.

Ryan chased after him and said: "Before you became the chief scientist, you were also a very elite agent. You should know that the red house is not so trustworthy. I even suspect that you have to take two sips of the antidote every day to avoid getting caught by others. control your mind without knowing it.”

Hearing the last sentence, Melina couldn't help but twitched her mouth: "You even know that the antidote is an absorbing gas. I've said everything I know, can you tell me who you are now?"

"No problem." Ryan nodded, "However, before that, I would like to ask you, are you really ready for this?"

"of course."

The two looked at each other, their eyes didn't shift in the slightest, and they didn't blink.

After a while, Ryan stood up and reached into the flower pot next to him.

Melina narrowed her eyes.

Ryan grabbed a black ball and said, "John?"

"There's no exchange of data inside and out of any of her devices, Ryan, in other words, she's not connected to the Internet."

"understood."

Looking back, he looked at Melina: "You cut off the communication, I think they should come over soon."

"Since you found out, why don't you leave quickly?"

"I just came to find them, why did I leave?"

"You should know, you know too much."

"If the more you know, the more you will be damned, then I don't think my director will be able to see the sun of tomorrow."

"Chief?"

Ryan nodded: "Yes, S.H.I.E.L.D."

Melina's eyes twitched.

Ryan continued: "In addition, I should thank you for mentioning the information about Hydra's infiltration into S.H.I.E.L.D. I think it is a very heavyweight news, which is conducive to a self-investigation and personnel cleaning within S.H.I.E.L.D. However, That's after I take care of the red house."

"How many of you are there?"

"There is and only me."

Outside the window, a bright light suddenly fell from the sky.

Melina got up: "If you are from S.H.I.E.L.D., then I think you'd better call for backup."

Ryan looked at a figure flashing outside the window.

"Ma'am, please find a safe place to hide first, so as not to delay my work, okay?"
