Chapter 3426: Son of Midnight (Twenty-Five)
Loki was confused by Schiller's speed in changing the subject. He said, "What? What skull?"
"Do you know where Laufey's skull is?"
Luo Ji opened and closed her mouth, then stared at Schiller speechlessly and said, "Is it really okay for you to ask this?"
"Could it be possible that you still have feelings for him?"
"I mean, if Laufey hadn't died, Odin wouldn't have been able to adopt me. When he adopted me, Laufey was already dead. So how would I know where Laufey's skull is?"
"You didn't investigate afterwards?"
"The skull doesn't belong to the estate, so why should I investigate it?"
Then Loki thought for a moment and said, "But since it was the All-Father who defeated Laufey, the skull should have been thrown into the warehouse by him, right? Why are you asking this?"
"Are you sure there's any in Asgard's warehouse?"
After hearing what Schiller said, Luo Ji was really a little uncertain. He took out his mobile phone and sent a few messages, probably directing his subordinates to check the warehouse.
After only a few minutes, Loki frowned at the information on the screen, then looked at Schiller and said, "Do you know something?"
"That thing is not in the warehouse, right? Or there is no record of it entering the warehouse. Odin never took the skull away that year, but let it drift on the earth, and was finally presented to the dark elves by Roxxon Company."
Luo Ji wanted to say something, but suddenly she showed an awkward expression and said hesitantly: "The Father of the Gods may not have meant it..."
"Of course, because at that time you only saw the atrium as a garbage dump and a place of exile."
"That's all in the past." Loki quickly changed the subject. She said, "But the skull of the King of the Frost Giants is not so easy to preserve. You humans will probably be frozen into ice if you touch it lightly."
"Yes, so this shows one thing. That is, Roxxon Corporation is indeed not a company completely dominated by humans. The person who picked up the skull was not a human, and the person who handed the skull to the dark elf was not a human either."
Luo Ji immediately understood and said, "Then no matter what deal the dark elves think they have reached with a certain human force, it is invalid. Because an organization led by non-humans cannot represent humans at all."
"That's right." Schiller nodded.
Schiller wanted to say something else, but suddenly stopped talking. Loki looked at him with some confusion. Schiller cleared his throat and said, "I am a superhero now. I will solve the problem in a superhero way."
"Uh, what's the superhero way?"
"Of course, we need to catch the mastermind behind Roxxon, beat him up, and then throw him into some prison."
"Good idea. Do you know where he is?"
"I don't know, but I know where the weak spot of their company is. As long as we attack there, there's no doubt that he will show up."
"Are you really determined to do this?" Luo Ji frowned slightly and said, "Although I don't really agree with your previous style of dragging everyone down. However, such an aggressive approach may not necessarily be a better choice."
"How will you know if you don't try?"
"Okay. That's a very 'superhero' statement. Next time, remember not to worry too much about the door card."
After saying that, Loki turned into a beam of magic light and disappeared. Schiller had already reached the window on the second floor, jumped down from here, and knocked out the patrolling minotaur behind him. He used moonlight to freeze his state and sent him to Kongsu's kingdom of God.
The remaining minotaur monsters were dealt with in the same way, and the dark elves in the temple were basically defeated. At this time, Stark's voice came from Schiller's earphones: "We have collected evidence, what about you?"
Schiller walked into the hall on the first floor, looked at the dark elf lying there and said, "It's basically all solved."
"Okay, then you make some noise at the headquarters to make it easier for us to escape."
"Movement? I'm afraid there will be no movement." Schiller squatted down and checked the condition of one of the dark elves. According to human standards, it was a shock caused by severe allergies. If no treatment measures were taken within five minutes, it would be dead.
Stark's tone of voice changed noticeably as he said, "What did you do?"
At this moment, a commotion suddenly came from the other end of the headset, as if the pursuers had arrived. Stark had no time to elaborate and started fighting with the enemy.
At this time, Jarvis' voice appeared in the headset. He said, "Doctor, Wanda said she is going to vaccinate the three kittens she adopted this afternoon. Didn't you adopt one too? Do you want to send them over as well?"
"I was just about to tell you this. I took the kitten to the veterinary hospital, but it refused to be vaccinated. Maybe it would be better with Wanda. Where should I send it to you?"
"It's on the corner of the road east of Central Station. There's a graffiti cafe there. Just wait for us under the sign."
"You guys are going to the pet hospital in Manhattan?"
"That's right. Wanda said that the pet hospital over there is better at treating young animals. We are going there... Sorry, sir, I forgot to turn off the communication channel. Go ahead and talk, I'm listening."
Not long after, Stark and Peter flew over. Looking at the temple still standing on the ground, they both felt relieved.
"I'm really afraid that when I get here, there will be only ruins left," said Peter.
"You should be thankful that Io is still there," Stark said as they flew.
The two saw Schiller on the second-floor balcony, so they both flew over and stopped. Schiller looked up and asked, "How is it?"
"Of course, and there are unexpected gains. Let's go back to the base and talk about it in detail. But you here..."
“I cut off the energy center,” Schiller said.
Stark and Peter looked at each other. They both knew that the dark elves were allergic to solar radiation. The lower-level dark elves had no means of protecting themselves from radiation. Once they lost the protection of their life support system, they would surely die.
"Where's the Minotaur?" Peter asked with some concern. "We found that these people can be transformed back. We rescued two people and put them in the life support cabin for the time being. We will go get them later."
"In my kingdom of God."
Stark imitated Schiller's tone with an exaggerated expression in the mecha, and Jarvis said, "Do you want me to help you connect to Moonlight Knight's communication channel again?"
"Goodbye," Stark said immediately.
The three of them flew towards Europa together. This is a frozen planet with very low temperatures and an icy surface. Schiller saw a huge building from a distance - it must be a masterpiece of mankind, and it was completely different in style from the previous temple.
The postmodern honeycomb-shaped building is gray-blue in color and blends in with the ground. It is inconspicuous when viewed from high altitude, and its complex structure can only be seen when you get closer.
"How did you find the portal?" Schiller asked.
"The defense here is very tight, and the building materials used can block energy detection. This is probably because they are afraid of being scanned from high altitude and detecting abnormal energy reactions. But because the defense is too strict, it has revealed a flaw."
"I controlled these mechas and attacked from four directions. People immediately came out to respond, but there was one direction that was slow to react. So I deduced that the energy reaction isolation in this direction must be particularly severe, otherwise they wouldn't have not reacted after the robots fired several shots. After they were discovered, it was obvious that they went through more security links than others before running out."
"We took advantage of the chaos outside and sneaked in. We broke through the security blockade and found the portal at the end of the passage opposite the gate."
Schiller listened quietly as Stark talked about his breakthrough. Although he didn't want to admit it, Iron Man was indeed a leader in being a superhero.
He was very flexible in the use of mechas. He did not simply use them as a means of attack or defense. Instead, he fought with a fairly scientific mindset, raising questions, thinking about them, and then solving them.
For example, he found that there was such a large building but the battle suit could not scan any abnormal energy reaction. He naturally raised a question, that is, why did the other party do this? Then he thought of the answer, which is, it was to cover the energy reaction of the portal to prevent it from being discovered by passing spacecraft.
Then another question was raised, that is, how to find the portal when the direction of the energy reaction cannot be detected. The answer that came out was to use the opponent's energy shielding in reverse. The tighter the shielding, the more likely it is that there is the direction of the portal.
"How did you break through the security blockade?" Schiller asked again.
"I found that the symbols in the text were in English, and thought that they might be using a human software system, so I found an interface, hacked into their internal network, and unlocked everything that could be unlocked," said Peter.
"There was a part of the physical defense that couldn't be unlocked, so we used directional blasting to blow it up. Luckily, they didn't have many people, and Iron Man used drones to delay their progress. I took the opportunity to set up the bomb. The breakthrough was successful, but I encountered some minor troubles on the way back."
"What trouble?"
"They moved all the guards to the door of the room where the portal is located, blocking us, and several of them turned into minotaur monsters. The room was a bit small, and we couldn't move freely there, and we were almost hit."
Schiller knew that this was the source of the commotion he had heard in his headphones. The Minotaur rushed into the room they were in and forced them into a corner.
Before Schiller could continue to ask, Peter said, "But I found that although these monsters are extremely powerful, they have little intelligence and are very violent. They will follow me if I tease them casually."
"So I deliberately led them into the crowd. The guards were afraid of being trampled to death, so they ran out in panic. After the chaos, no one cared about anyone else, so we took the opportunity to slip away."
Schiller discovered that Peter's thinking was similar to Stark's. They both solved problems when they encountered them. This was obviously normal logical thinking.
But Schiller's thinking was not like this. To be precise, he had such thinking, but he did not use it often.
When he encountered a problem, the first thing he thought about was not how to solve it, but since there was already this problem, what other problems might there be.
Stark and Peter think deeply in a straight line, and after finishing this line of thinking, they switch to another line, solving one problem at a time. Most normal people are like this.
Schiller started to diverge directly, thinking from one problem to another, and then from another problem to more problems, and each problem was a different point.
He then began to think deeply about these issues at the same time, weaving different lines from these points.
In the process of thinking, he will try to optimize the thread. For example, solving a problem directly may be simple and effective, but if another method can also partially solve another problem at the same time, Schiller will take the latter approach.
In multiple links of multiple problems, find the intersecting nodes, and then find an optimal solution for these nodes that can take into account multiple aspects. Then, use the sequence that can balance the outbreak time of these problems to execute the optimal solution, and finally solve all the problems at one time.
