Chapter 393 The Last Few Trivial Things
Ethan knew Steve was talking about his good friend, Bucky, now codenamed The Winter Soldier, whose full name is James Buchanan Barnes.
In the original plot, the Winter Soldier was controlled by Hydra and even attacked Nick Fury. This time he also launched an attack, but Nick Fury was fully prepared. Not only was he not injured, he even In turn caught Bucky.
Of course, he didn't know the identity of the Winter Soldier at that time, but according to various investigations, he obtained information. Hydra had a very strong warrior who was suspected to have received reinforcement. This person was involved in many assassinations and inexplicable deaths. He was involved, so the successful capture of this person was considered to have eliminated a hidden danger.
The only surprise is that this person is actually an old comrade-in-arms and good friend of Captain America, which makes many of his original arrangements useless. He can only lock up the Winter Soldier first and find a way to make him return to normal - as long as Returning to normal, with Steve and his relationship, the transformed warrior codenamed Winter Soldier will also be a boost on his side.
Because the brainwashing methods used by Hydra were rude and not mysterious at all, Nick didn't think of asking Ethan for help at first, and of course there were thoughts like "don't ask that mage to do this kind of trivial thing".
Steve doesn't know, he just thinks that Ethan can easily release the mind control of Hawkeye and Selvig and others, and it should not be difficult to cure Bucky.
He was right. After arriving at the secret base where Bucky was imprisoned, Ethan just checked twice and gave his answer.
"It's not too much trouble, I can handle it."
Hydra's brainwashing method is to suppress the original personality of the person, and then cover it with a blank new personality, and control the body with a new personality that can be controlled by itself.
There is no way for this new personality to completely suppress the old personality, but there is a very simple way to force the original personality to voluntarily retreat to the depths of the spirit and give up control of the body.
That is pain!
Everyone has a self-protection mechanism. When instinctively feels that they can't continue to bear more pain, this mechanism will be turned on. Corresponding to the spiritual or personality level, it is to cut off the connection with the body and no longer 'feel' these things that make people crazy. pain of.
At the same time, when torturing the other party, he actively designs something similar to passwords, which makes the original personality produce a kind of "fixed thinking". When these passwords are used, the other party will torture himself, and then he will take the initiative to retreat and give up control.
It's just that this so-called control method has many hidden dangers. For example, when the real personality wants to "come out", they have no way to stop it.
This is also in the original plot, after Bucky gradually recovered his memory and self, if no one gets the 'start password', he can continue to be normal all the time, and the temporary new personality may disappear completely over time, even if the password is obtained at that time It's no use anymore.
Ethan didn't explain too much. In his eyes, this hypnosis method was very rough and troublesome, and it was a waste of time.
On the level of spiritual power, it is a mass of chaotic and disordered spiritual power that wraps Baki’s own mental power—the outermost layer of energy is not an external force, but also Baki’s own spiritual power. This is for the purpose of A part of the isolation layer that is actively divided by self-protection is also the soil for the birth of a new personality.
So if you want to solve Bucky's problem, the easiest and rude way is to clear this part of the mental power; the slightly more troublesome thing is to help Bucky's own mental power to absorb this part of the mental power more quickly.
"No matter which one you choose, there are no hidden dangers and side effects. It's just that the first method will make Bucky almost mentally ill in the next period of time."
This is not a big deal. After a good rest for a period of time, this part of the lost mental power can be recovered a lot, and in terms of personal physical sensation, you will feel that you have returned to normal.
The rest of the subtle differences don't matter to most people.
"Choose the first one!"
Steve can't understand so many messy things, he only thinks that the first one works quickly, and he always feels that this so-called divided mental power is not a good thing, even if Ethan clearly stated that it was Bucky himself His mental power would not have any problems, and he also felt uneasy.
I even think that the Winter Soldier has done so many bad things because of this shit.
He's technically right, but it's a pity that Bucky won't forget everything he's done just because he's back to normal.
As Ethan said, it was originally his spiritual power. Even if a new personality was created, he used the same body, and whether it was memory or anything, it was the same set of 'storage devices', and it was not because of After losing control of his body, Bucky became a passer-by who knew nothing. Like a passenger, he was able to witness everything 'himself' did.
"Well, no matter what, I'll cut off this group of mental power first."
This kind of mental separation is not so easy to do. If you want to be safe and successful in the first time, you need to do some preparations. Ethan spent a few hours setting up the venue. A large number of magic circles were constructed in the eyes of the husband who was about to become a mosquito coil, and there were also various mysterious symbols.
The ultimate effect of such a complex magic circle is only to ensure the smooth implementation of this operation.
After all his preparations, the cleanup took only five minutes to complete.
With the help of the magic circle, everyone saw Bucky's spiritual body that was drawn out in half, and then also saw how Ethan gave the very different spiritual energy that wrapped Bucky's spiritual body. cut off.
But when Ethan announced the completion so quickly, the two were still in a daze.
"It's over? That's it?"
"Why don't you think about it? I made a bunch of magic runes, chanted spells for hours, and then there was an earthquake, a tsunami, a volcanic eruption, thick clouds, and a steady stream of thunder, and finally Did you toss and scrap your base to solve the problem?"
Ethan patted Nick Fury on the shoulder: "If you want to see this kind of scene, I can grant your wish, but don't ask me for any damages afterwards."
"It's still free, that's fine."
Nick didn't care about what was lost or not, but this was his personal secret base, and he didn't want his secrets to be known by more people.
Steve didn't care about the mess, he rushed over to check on Bucky after Ethan announced that the problem had been resolved.
During this time, Bucky has been cryogenically frozen in a special facility (obtained from Hydra), so Bucky has been captured for a while, and there has been no dialogue between the two sides. Until now, the two have really met. .
"Steve?"
Bucky had long since woken up from this tossing. He felt that he was not very energetic, but he felt relieved for a while, as if some heavy burden had been unloaded. What surprised him even more was that he opened his eyes. Saw my friend Steve Rogers.
He was not surprised by this. As Ethan said before, although Bucky lost control of his body, he knew everything he should know. When he was acting as a winter soldier, he received a lot of information. Bucky also has the information. He knows Steve's current situation, and many of the details may not even be noticed by him.
Mastering this information is to better deal with Captain America, but it is definitely not used now.
Instead of seeing what the buddies were saying there, both Ethan and Nick stepped out to chat about other things.
"What's your plan next?"
"Go to England and pick up Selvig and the others."
For Ethan, where to go is just a matter of magic, but this time he will take a lot of people to Asgard, he doesn't want to run back and forth one after another, so first gather everyone together, and then It's best to send it over.
In addition, he is not going to continue to stay in this world. The things that need to be dealt with have already been dealt with. Prince Eugen is testing. After a while, he will go over to receive the ship - the regular warship sea trial leader Up to a year, the content of the test includes various details.
But Ethan didn't need Tony to help him test in such a detailed manner, especially since Tony had already tinkered with a nano-maintenance robot, which meant that even if he went back to his side, the battleship could be repaired and adjusted by itself if it went wrong.
This test only needs to ensure that Prince Eugen can be used normally, and most of the equipment can operate normally. Now it seems that there are no serious design flaws.
Next, even if there is a problem, there are still some details. At most, a certain system or device does not achieve the theoretical effect. Even if it does not work at all, some corrections can be made according to the various adjustment schemes given by Tony.
What's more... Tony, after realizing that the time flow of Ethan's side and his own world is not the same, he started thinking about going out with Ethan again.
Of course, his reasons were very reasonable: he could better help Ethan test the Prinz Eugen in detail to ensure that he was handing over a flawless warship rather than a defective and defective product.
"So after Thor's succession ceremony, you will leave again?"
"Yes."
There is really nothing to do here. He stayed for so long just waiting for the new boat to be launched. The tests were not done here. What else would he do if he didn't leave?
At present, his only purpose in this world is to go to Kama Taj to borrow time gems. He is not greedy. After watching time gems in Kama Taj for a few days, Gu Yi will not refuse.
