"And what exactly is the Insight Project?" Rogers asked urgently, seeing that Dr. Zola was already in the grasp of the evil spirit.
Dr. Zola didn't pay any attention to Rogers' question, remaining silent as he continued to think.
"You're taking too long to think," Meng Ran said coldly.
Then, before Dr. Zola could react, Meng Ran's right hand transformed into a black spike, which he plunged into the floor beneath him.
A second later, the black spike retracted from the floor, returning to his right hand. The only difference was a black box now in his hand.
After Meng Ran clutched the black box, purple lightning flickered across his hand.
This purple lightning contained an extraordinarily violent energy, causing the casing of the black box to tremble as if it would shatter at any moment.
Seeing the black box in Meng Ran's hand already teetering on the verge of shattering, Dr. Zola's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly shouted, "Oh! No! Stop, I'll tell you anything you want to know!"
Hearing Dr. Zola's shout, Meng Ran snorted and dispersed the purple lightning in his hand. "Stop wasting time. Answer our questions."
"OK, OK, I'll tell you everything I know, just calm down." Dr. Zola was completely at their mercy and dared not make any sudden moves.
"Because my current situation is a bit special, can I first tell you what the Insight Project and that algorithm are?" Dr. Zola asked, seeking Meng Ran's opinion.
Rogers and Natasha also looked at Meng Ran upon hearing this. Meng Ran didn't say anything, just continued to look at Zola and urged, "Just say it, don't waste time."
Dr. Zola hurriedly said, "The algorithm I created is a program that can be used to select the targets for Insight."
"The targets for Insight are based on the algorithm's screening of people who are currently or will be a threat to Hydra."
"This algorithm is loaded on the Lemuria Star. This satellite and those three Sky Carriers work together to eliminate millions of targets within the target area in an instant."
Hearing Dr. Zola's words, Meng Ran and the others felt a chill run down their spines. To slaughter so many people at once... how utterly insane did one have to be to do something like that?
It was indeed Hydra. Madness and ruthlessness were their innate characteristics. For the sake of their extreme goals, they would use any unimaginable means, no matter how cruel or bizarre those means might be.
"You can choose your current targets, but how do you determine future ones? How is that even possible?" Rogers questioned after hearing Dr. Zola's explanation of the program.
Dr. Zola looked at Rogers and countered, "Why wouldn't it be possible?"
"Captain, it's not the same as seventy years ago. The era you lived in is vastly different from the present."
"The 21st century is a digital and electronic age. Everyone leaves their mark in this era."
"Every person has a birth certificate at birth, and during their growth, there are school records, bank records, criminal records, medical records, voting patterns, call information, and exam results from childhood, and so on."
"These records document your behavior, reveal your personality, and expose your character, until the day you die, there will be a death record to serve as the period."
"The algorithm I created assesses people's pasts, predicts their futures, and identifies anyone who poses a threat to Hydra, then eliminates them."
"That is the true Insight Project."
"Next, tell me everything you know about the Monster, and also about another version of yourself." After listening to Dr. Zola's explanation of the Insight Project, Meng Ran continued to question him.
Dr. Zola paused when he heard this, then continued, "Actually, I don't know much about the Monster."
When he finished speaking, Meng Ran's gaze suddenly sharpened.
Sensing Meng Ran's eyes on him, Dr. Zola hastily said, "It's not that I'm intentionally hiding anything, I really don't know much!"
"I am mainly responsible for Hydra's data processing. For confidentiality, the data of the Hydra side and the Monster side are not connected."
"So, I don't know much about the Monster."
"But I still know something," Dr. Zola hastily added after his previous statement, perhaps fearing Meng Ran would dismantle him.
"The current head of Monster is called Mir. He's an excellent leader."
"It's under his leadership that Monster's strength has grown over the years."
"He's known as Tyrant Mir, and his personality and style are somewhat similar to the Red Skull's back then, but he's more rational and less crazy."
"He must be no ordinary person to manage so many powerful metahumans," Meng Ran said, squinting as he listened to Zola.
Dr. Zola responded, "That's right. He himself is a very powerful S-Class Metahuman. It was because of his outstanding personal abilities that he was chosen as the successor by the previous Monster leader."
"Do you know the location of Monster's headquarters?" Meng Ran asked Zola again.
Dr. Zola was somewhat embarrassed when he heard Meng Ran's question, and said, "I only remember some very basic, and very old, information, so I don't know the location of their current headquarters."
"Although I don't know their headquarters' location, I do know that Hydra has recently had some friction and conflicts with the Monster."
Meng Ran was initially disappointed to hear that Zola didn't know the Monster's headquarters. However, his eyes lit up again when he heard that Hydra and the Monster had recent friction.
"What friction?" Meng Ran asked Zola in a low voice.
Seeing that the Ghost was interested, Dr. Zola breathed a sigh of relief. He was truly afraid of being suddenly killed by this man. He needed to demonstrate his value and let the Ghost know that he could still be used.
"I'm not particularly clear on the specifics of the friction, but based on the information I have now, it should be about a power struggle."
"Judging from Hydra's internal communications recently, Hydra's control over the Monster has decreased once again."
