"This is your childhood friend, your best friend, and the person you're about to kill."

[These thoughts, of course, only remained in Shinomiya Kiko's mind.]

Looking at the wicked appearance of Shinomiya Hikari on the screen, Hayasaka Ai couldn't help but worry about her future, because she had been sent by Shinomiya Hikari to be an informant and undercover agent for Miss Shinomiya Kaguya, which already made Hayasaka Ai very uncomfortable.

Seeing what Shinomiya Hikari was thinking inside the light screen made Bucky and Captain Rogers worry about their fight, though worrying was useless.

Episode 375: The Winter Soldier's Re-brainwashing

Although Hayasaka Ai knew her worries were useless, she couldn't help but overthink after seeing what Shinomiya Hikari was doing on the screen.

Hayasaka Ai never considered that Shinomiya Hikari might tell Shinomiya Kaguya what she had done in front of her, and that Shinomiya Kaguya would be heartbroken and ignore her no matter how she explained, while Shinomiya Hikari would just watch her and Shinomiya Kaguya with amusement.

"That guy on the bridge is just someone you saw earlier this week during your mission."

[Shinomiya Hikari spoke to Bucky, and as he listened to Hikari's explanation of why he knew that guy, Bucky, though knowing he should obey his superiors, felt a subconscious resistance to this explanation.]

"I know that guy."

[As Shinomiya Kōmitsu listened to Bucky's words, he stared directly into Bucky's eyes, seemingly trying to glean something from them. Finding nothing, he sat down in the chair his subordinate had offered and spoke to Bucky.]

"What you're doing is for the benefit of all mankind."

"You shaped this century."

"I need you to do it again."

"Human society is currently at a critical juncture between order and chaos."

"We need to help them make a decision tomorrow morning."

[Nobuyuki Sugo, watching Kuro Shinomiya brainwash the confused Bucky Barnes with words, wore a rather amused smile, as if he were observing something very interesting.]

"But if you don't complete your task, we can't get started."

"Hydra has no way of giving it the freedom it deserves."

[Shinomiya Hiromitsu spoke earnestly to Bucky Barnes, explaining that in his description, Hydra was an organization that secretly worked to benefit all of humanity.]

"But I know him."

Bucky gave a wry smile and said to Shinomiya Hikaru.

Although Bucky's mind was still in turmoil, he genuinely resisted going after the target. For some reason, he just couldn't bring himself to do it; he felt the target was someone very important to him.

[After hearing Bucky's reply, Shinomiya Kiko breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed his words had had no effect. Shinomiya Kiko hated this kind of effort going unrewarded.]

"Prepare it for him."

"He's been out of cryogenics for too long."

"Brainwash him again, start all over again."

[Shinomiya Kōkō waved his hand and said to his subordinates. He never showed any pity or concern for those who disobeyed him.]

Two henchmen forced Bucky down onto the bed, and one of them shoved something into Bucky's mouth. Bucky bit down on it with practiced ease, clearly indicating that this wasn't the first time he'd experienced this kind of brainwashing.

"Aa ...

[As the Hydra member pressed a button, a device extending from the headboard clamped onto Bucky Barnes' brain. A powerful electric current surged through his brain, and the intense pain caused him to clench his teeth tightly, but he still couldn't help but let out muffled cries.]

[Shinomiya Hikari turned and left immediately, while Crossbones Sugo Nobuyuki glanced back a few times at Bucky Barnes, who was undergoing a brainwashing session with electric shocks. If he weren't afraid that Shinomiya Hikari would kill him, Crossbones Sugo Nobuyuki would have mentioned it to Captain Rogers the next time he saw him, just to provoke him.]

"This Hydra organization is really incompetent."

"I just don't know if Bucky will be able to regain his memories later on."

Kohei Imamura watched the Hydra organization's treatment of Bucky Barnes on the screen, and it seemed to be a routine occurrence. Poor Bucky, working so hard for Hydra, their enemy.

"I don't know, but I do know that Hydra is going to launch their so-called Insight Project tomorrow."

Kitahara Iori said that Shinomiya Kōkō in the light screen said that the Hydra organization would help them tomorrow. The "they" that Shinomiya Kōkō was referring to meant people other than the Hydra organization.

Kitahara Iori was actually curious whether Hydra could really handle such a large pie. If they couldn't eliminate all the threatening units as soon as possible, Hydra might not be able to withstand the counterattack.

"Ultimately, is Hydra really that confident?"

"I don't know, but judging from the current situation, Hydra's strength is indeed quite good, but it seems a bit lacking in the ability to rule the world, after all, there are still two super mutants in charge."

Kohei Imamura said that he thought Professor X, Hayato Otosaka, should be aware of Hydra's evil plan. However, he also thought that since S.H.I.E.L.D. had a way to resist Professor X's mind invasion, then Hiroshi Shinomiya, as a high-ranking official, must also have one.

As for the other Magneto, Yuu Otosaka, the surrounding magnetic field should be able to protect him well.

"See? Maybe the Insight Project won't even be able to be implemented."

"This person declined the Albeno Peace Prize."

He said peace is not an achievement, but a responsibility.

"It's this kind of thing that caused me to have a crisis of trust."

[King, who was meeting with Captain Rogers and the others, held up a photo of Shinomiya Hikari and said, "I couldn't believe that the mastermind behind this was Shinomiya Hikari, whom I've known for years. But the evidence was overwhelming, leaving me no choice but to believe it."]

"We have to stop the aircraft carrier from launching."

[Black Widow Vermouth said.]

"I don't think the council will answer my calls anymore."

"Leaving aside the fact that I'm already dead outside, I'm certain that guy Shinomiya Hikari will smear my name."

[King opened a box as he spoke.]

"What is this?"

[Shinji Matou, the Falcon, looked at the box King had opened and examined its contents, then asked...]

"When the helicopter carrier reaches an altitude of over 900 meters, it will utilize satellite triangulation to transform into a weapon of mass destruction."

[The Twilight Agent, speaking from the side, turned the computer in front of him towards Shinji Matou, the Falcon.]

376: Shinji Matou: Why are you looking at me? I'm not your subordinate.

"We must infiltrate the aircraft carrier."

"Replace the positioning module above with our own."

[The Twilight Agent spoke while displaying a 3D perspective view of the helicopter carrier on the computer screen, to help Captain Rogers and his team understand and execute their plan more effectively.]

[Furthermore, the fact that the positioning module is exactly the same as the three items inside the box explains Shinji Matou's question.]

"Replacing only one or two items won't make a difference."

"All three aircraft carriers must be connected together."

"Because even if only one helicopter carrier remains operational, many people will still die."

[After Agent Twilight finished speaking, King spoke up.]

"We must assume that everyone on the helicopter carrier is a Hydra member."

"So we have to get past Hydra first."

King actually felt that there couldn't possibly be any S.H.I.E.L.D. agents at the top.

"Then maybe we can plug our module into the server alliance."

"Perhaps, we can salvage this."

"It's also possible that we can't salvage anything."

"We're not just going to destroy the aircraft carrier, we're going to take down S.H.I.E.L.D."

[Captain Rogers looked at King and said.]

"S.H.I.E.L.D. has nothing to do with this."

King doesn't want S.H.I.E.L.D. to disappear, after all, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s role is still very significant, and not just as simple as it appears on the surface.

"You gave me this task, and this is the result."

"S.H.I.E.L.D. has been infiltrated by Hydra, you said it yourself."

Captain Rogers' tone left no room for argument. After all, among everyone present, only Captain Rogers truly understood the implications of Hydra. He already loathed Hydra, and now, knowing that his childhood friend had been brainwashed and controlled by them, he was even more enraged.

[Furthermore, Captain Rogers, along with Black Widow Vermouth and Gavial, learned from Arnin Zola that Hydra had already infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. in its early stages. Therefore, in Captain Rogers' eyes, S.H.I.E.L.D. was practically synonymous with Hydra.]

"Hydra is right under your nose, yet no one noticed, not even you, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. They're sucking blood from S.H.I.E.L.D."

[Captain Rogers said to King.]

"The reason we met here is because I discovered it."

"So, how many people paid the ultimate price before you even discovered it?"

Captain Rogers looked at King and said that he believed it was King's dereliction of duty for failing to promptly expose Hydra, who was hiding within S.H.I.E.L.D.

"I really don't know anything about Barnes."

King sensed that Captain Rogers's temper was so bad because he had seen his old friend Bucky Barnes fall into the hands of Hydra, so he apologized.

"Even if you knew, would you tell me?"
