"We have invited a witness to help us prove that the Winter Soldier has indeed been controlled by a terrorist organization for the past 70 years." What Winter Soldier's defense lawyer said was the mind control expert Professor Faust, He is also one of the few experts hired by Captain America who is familiar with the history of the Winter Soldier.

The door opened, and a middle-aged man with short reddish-brown hair walked into the courtroom. His small eyes under the round lenses showed a sharp look. "More than 70 years ago, terrorist groups applied to Barnes enough technology to create a moldable personality in his head, retaining only his trained instincts. They completely stripped him of his sense of autonomy, turning him into a In this case, the Winter Soldier cannot be regarded as the person responsible for the active violation, but the terrorist organization that transformed him and used him should be held accountable.”

The prosecution immediately seized on the details in Professor Faust's words, and countered, "But you also mentioned that this was '70 years ago', even if we assume that the Winter Soldier was indeed attacked by a terrorist organization 70 years ago. Kidnapping and brainwashing, there is no way to prove that the countless murders he committed during the entire 70 years were all committed in his unconscious state. After all, during such a long period of time, could he Your self-awareness never awakened once?"

"So they even designed a whole set of brainwashing words. In the past 70 years, as long as the Winter Soldier's self-awareness began to recover, they used this set of brainwashing words to brainwash him repeatedly." Professor Faust looked away. To the prosecutor in front of him, "Maybe you don't know one thing, the Winter Soldier was not alone when he was discovered..."

What do you mean?

On the live broadcast platform, almost everyone had the same question at this moment, but what Professor Faust said next made everyone gasp.

"In order to facilitate the continuous brainwashing of Winter Soldier, there is always a so-called 'responsible person', or 'monitor', beside Winter Soldier."

The prosecution spokesman's eyes flickered a few times, and he said again, "But, this can't be..." The moment the prosecution spokesperson spoke again, Professor Faust met his eyes directly, The eyes under the circular lens are like two vortexes, attracting people to sink into the boundless abyss.

Eliza sat up straight unconsciously, looking directly at Professor Faust's direction and frowning.

The prosecutor's spokesperson's expression seems to be a little bit wrong?

It is not as clear from the live broadcast as on the scene. More people just saw Professor Faust approaching the prosecutor's spokesperson, opening and closing his lips, but they couldn't hear what he was saying. The aggressive prosecutor's spokesperson stood motionless as if stunned.

Not only is there a lot of discussion online, but many people at the scene have already noticed that something is wrong. Steve, who was sitting in the front row, was about to stand up when he saw Professor Faust cast a look at him, and Steve frowned. Sitting back in the seat, the muscles in the legs were already tensed.

At this moment, the prosecutor's spokesperson suddenly turned around and rushed towards the top judge. Amidst the exclamation, Steve also rushed over.The moment the prosecutor's spokesperson got the small hammer in front of the judge, Steve also grabbed the prosecutor's spokesperson by the hem of his suit, dragged him back violently, and controlled his strength to hit him on the back with his elbow. , pinning him to the floor.

All this happened too suddenly, until Professor Faust lifted the hypnosis on the prosecution spokesman, and he returned to his original position with a pale face, and Professor Faust also returned to the defense position.

Only after this man-made accident, the possibility that the Winter Soldier was controlled by a terrorist organization to commit these crimes has also greatly increased.After all, including the audience all over the world who are watching the live broadcast, everyone has seen how Professor Faust hypnotized the prosecutor's spokesperson and made him attack the judge in a short period of time. According to Professor Faust's statement, for The cruelty of the Winter Soldier's brainwashing is more powerful than his hypnotic techniques.

During the five-hour verbal battle, the defense and the prosecution hardly stopped arguing for a moment. The defense argued that the Winter Soldier was actually an innocent person manipulated and used by a terrorist organization, while the prosecution kept emphasizing that the Winter Soldier In fact, it has caused great harm to society.

At the end of this trial, the gray-haired judge stood in the courtroom after all the wind and rain. The crow's feet at the corners of his eyes were engraved with the precious experience left over from the years. There was a mixture of seriousness and gentleness in those eyes. He faced the camera , gave the final sentence to the Winter Soldier in an old and steady voice:

"We judges must face the sacred responsibility. The Supreme Court of the United States is endowed with a solemn responsibility. Therefore, when facing this special and complicated case, we chose to protect the public's right to public discussion to the greatest extent, because our world Great changes have taken place in the world, and I believe that the case we tried this time will not become an isolated case. So in this awe-inspiring court, perhaps in the near future, the judges will once again stand for this Consider and discuss the issues at our discretion. The result of our trial this time is not only related to the case itself, but may also have an impact on subsequent trials of related cases. Therefore, we must make a final decision through careful consideration and discussion .

……

Professor Faust's display of mind control in court has divided us on who is responsible.Likewise, your choice to voluntarily surrender will also have an impact on our final trial.

After final discussion, I finally announce that James Barnes has a total of 28 counts of murder, endangering national security, etc...."

"invalid."

The moment she uttered this sentence, a relaxed look finally appeared on Elisa's face. The corners of her mouth curled first, and then she suddenly realized that she quickly lowered the corners of her mouth and turned to look at Tony's face, and put her hand on the back of Tony's. On, pat lightly.

……

Although James was acquitted by the court, he finally chose to voluntarily undertake the equivalent of 20 years of social service work, which also helped to alleviate the public's backlash.

This trial of the James Barnes case was dubbed the "trial of the century" by the media.

After this trial of the century, although it seems that the contradiction between superheroes and ordinary people has been perfectly resolved, both Eliza and other superpowers know that as long as the contradiction between superheroes and the law is not resolved , doubts and opposition about superheroes cannot disappear.

Everyone involved in this "trial of the century" has received unprecedented attention, and as the first public figure to openly support the Winter Soldier on social platforms, after experiencing controversy, Eliza has become famous all over the world. made a huge leap.And shortly after the trial, she received an invitation from the United Nations.

October, United Nations Headquarters, New York.

ABC TV has won the exclusive TV live broadcast right this time, and the Youtube platform has won the online live broadcast right.Today on this occasion, a special lecture will be given.

The moment the woman with long golden curly hair appeared at the door, the audience all looked at her.Eliza walked onto the stage in a neat and simple black suit. She pursed her lips and swept over the dark heads below the stage. She had a unique calmness on her face, and the faint turmoil in the audience was slowly suppressed. .

Elisa nodded slightly, showing a light smile, "Respected Chairman Archibald Smith, distinguished guests, I am very honored to be able to stand here today and deliver a speech."

"Before the final trial of the Winter Soldier case, I once published an article on Twitter called "What is a superhero?" To this day, one of my views remains unchanged-born in a superhero Times are our luck."

As soon as Elisa finished speaking, there was a small noise from below. Charles looked at the confident and generous girl on the stage, turned his head, and happened to meet the eyes of Christo who also turned his head, and couldn't help smiling.

"I have heard many doubts about my point of view, and one of the most supported questions is that if it were not for superheroes, so many disasters would not happen on earth.

But I want to say, wrong!

First came the disasters, and then came the superheroes. "

Clark was wearing glasses and hiding among a group of reporters. Hearing this sentence, he couldn't help but slowly sat up straight.

"The first superhero we know is Captain America. He was born because of World War II; Batman was born in Gotham, where the crime rate is extremely high and crimes are rampant. Everything he does is to maintain the order under the law. ;Iron Man was born because of terrorist organization activities...

Disasters come before superheroes.

Darkness first appeared, and then we welcomed the light. "

The corners of Diana's mouth curled up, with an obvious smile on her face. She tilted her head slightly to Bruce beside her, and said with a smile, "I'm starting to like this girl."

Bruce pursed his lips, his eyes fell on Elisa, and it took a long time for him to respond in a low voice.

"I don't think superheroes should be above the law, but we must also admit that at least the current laws have no way to restrict and control the behavior of superheroes, and in many cases, if these laws are forcefully applied to superpower cases Among them, it can even be said to be extremely backward and unreasonable. At the same time, although superheroes need to be controlled by law, this power cannot be handed over easily." Elisa paused, and added, "Even if It's the government."

The bomb that was voted by the parliamentary resolution in the Battle of New York made Eliza deeply aware of the threat of handing over the management of superheroes to the government and superheroes being completely free from government control. In fact, it is comparable.

Facing the shocked gazes of the people below, Elisa continued her speech, "From the case of the Winter Soldier, we can see not only the power of superheroes, nor the fear of such power, but that once a superhero How uncontrollable the result will be if the power is used by terrorist organizations or other people with intentions. Perhaps from the beginning, we can still guarantee the rationality of the legislative process, but what about the law enforcement stage? If the power of these superheroes falls into the In the hands of those in power, what will happen?"

"Maybe, World War III."

The word that Eliza dropped seemingly lightly, actually exploded in everyone's heart like a bomb.

Tony's heart sank. He might have had such an idea at first, but in recent days, under Elisa's reminder, after investigating and discovering the government's frequent small actions after the Battle of New York, Tony began to think again about his past. idea.

Facing the heavy eyes of the audience, Eliza spoke out the plan she had been thinking about for a long time.

"Therefore, here I make a premature suggestion—"

"Establish a justice trial bureau specializing in superpower cases, which is responsible for the management and trial of superpowers. This trial bureau does not set up a headquarters, but only sets up parallel branches around the world. All internal staff can be ordinary people. It can also be a person with superpowers..."

Following Elisa's description, a blueprint seemed to unfold before everyone's eyes.

"...The future world needs superheroes and ordinary people to build together. Thank you."

After a while, there was thunderous applause in the venue, and Eliza's speech quickly spread to the whole world along with the spread of TV and Internet signals.

A brand new vision of the future is slowly unfolding silently.
