Chapter 1352: Mysteries of the Feast (Part 19)

(This plot may have frequent lens switching, motion sickness be careful!)

At noon on the day of the dance party, Shiler did not go to the restaurant to eat, but asked the waiter to send food to the room. He called an extra portion for Rocket Raccoon. Rocket Raccoon sat on the table, tearing the chicken leg meat with his small claws.

Suddenly he saw a cup full of water handed to him. Rocket Raccoon looked up, looked at Shiler who handed the cup with a puzzled look. Shiler also stared at him and asked, "Don't you plan to wash it?"

"I am not a raccoon!

!"

Shiler smiled. Rocket Raccoon sighed and then said with some emotion, "I really didn't expect that you would let me eat on the table. You group of hairless monsters always treat me as a small pet, feeling that it is already a great mercy not to put a chain on my neck."

"I treat all intelligent life equally. Compared to their various appearances, I pay more attention to their psychology. I can see that you are a bit anxious now. What are you worried about?"

Rocket Raccoon raised his head and blinked, then tilted his head, seemingly wondering how Shiler could see his thoughts, but soon he frowned and said, "Don't you think all this is a bit too coincidental? I mean everything that happened around the m'kraan crystal."

"First I came here, and there is information about the m'kraan crystal in my underlying protocol. And then the Shi'ar Empire Queen also came to attend the banquet because she was troubled by the m'kraan crystal and wanted to find a helper. Immediately after, that bald guy is also eyeing the m'kraan crystal."

Rocket Raccoon's eyebrows were deeply twisted together, his tail was irritably flapping up and down on the table, and his movements on his hands also stopped. He said, "It seems like there is an invisible line behind these things, connecting all the clues together, and then letting them erupt at the same time."

"Although there are many coincidences in the universe, I feel that this matter is not so coincidental. Perhaps there is a bigger conspiracy behind this."

【The novel app that has been running for many years, comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, the source-changing app used by old bookworms,】

"Oh?" Shiler made an ambiguous syllable. He was cutting the food on the plate, while looking at Rocket Raccoon, and asked, "Then what do you think is the truth, and who is manipulating all this behind the scenes?"

Rocket Raccoon's eyebrows wrinkled tighter and tighter, until the entire features were wrinkled together. He shrugged his nose, pulled the muscles of his mouth, bared his teeth again, and said, "I have been drifting in the universe, and I can't contact any big shots. Recently, I have been hiding in the cargo hold, and I can't even see the news. How can I guess it?"

Shiler shook his head and said, "The key to reasoning is not in the general trend or big shots, but in certain details. In fact, just from what you heard about Professor X, Magneto, and the Shi'ar Queen, you can find some strange details."

"Strange details?" Rocket Raccoon narrowed his eyes. He began to constantly recall what he saw and heard.

"I guess you must be recalling the conversation between the Shi'ar Empire Queen and Professor X now, right?"

Rocket Raccoon nodded and said, "If you want to talk about suspicious points, there are too many suspicious points in the relationship between the two of them."

"No, you should recall a bit further forward."

"Further forward..." Rocket Raccoon repeated half a sentence and fell into thought again, but soon Shiler spoke again: "I guess, did you think of the conversation between Professor X and Magneto?"

Rocket Raccoon nodded again, and then Shiler shook his head again and said, "Still have to go further forward."

"Still have to go forward?" Rocket Raccoon said in surprise, "But there is nothing further forward, right? Before that, isn't it that red-haired girl who came to find you? What does that have to do with this?"

"Sometimes, reasoning and detection need to be counter-intuitive." Shiler ate the food on the plate unhurriedly, and said, "Many conversations with a large amount of information are not necessarily important. Scenes that seem to contain important information may also just be a cover."

"Only in inadvertent, life details without much information can we dig out clues about the truth."

Rocket Raccoon's expression became more and more confused, and then it lowered its head dejectedly, scratched one of its ears with its small claws, and said, "I'm just a raccoon, don't let me think so much, alright, great detective, reveal the secret quickly."

Shiler finally showed a satisfied smile. He tapped the edge of the plate with a fork and said:

"Do you remember who called before the Scarlet Witch came to find me?"

"Hmm..." Rocket Raccoon paused and then said, "You said a name called 'Jarvis' when you answered the phone. It sounds like that girl's boyfriend."

Shiler nodded and said, "They are indeed a couple. Then do you remember Wanda saying who the X-Men called to find Wanda?"

"Uh, it seems to be this Jarvis too." Speaking of this, Rocket Raccoon frowned. It also found something wrong, so it said, "Why is it that when others find this Wanda, they call her boyfriend, and when she comes to find you, she also lets her boyfriend call you? Does she not have her own phone?"

"Many people feel that the starting point of reasoning should be 'someone did something in a certain scene', but in fact, the starting point of reasoning should be 'whether someone should appear in a certain occasion'. Reasoning should start from whether the existence of someone in a certain matter is reasonable."

"Looking at this matter, Jarvis's existence is actually completely redundant. Even if Wanda and the X-Men are not familiar, they are also a faction of mutants. Why must their contact go through others?"

"Even if Magneto and the X-Men were enemies before, and the relationship between Wanda and the X-Men is also a bit awkward, they are embarrassed to call directly, then can't Scott go find Lorna? No matter how bad the relationship between Lorna and Wanda is, they are biological sisters. Even if they find Pietro, it is more reliable than finding a Jarvis who just met not long ago and is not a mutant."

Rocket Raccoon scratched its head. It didn't know the complex relationship of mutants on Earth, so it didn't quite understand Shiler's words.

But in fact, Shiler's meaning is very clear. Mutants have always been cliquish and exclusive. Even if the X-Men are taught by Professor X not to harm ordinary people, most of them don't treat non-mutants as their own people.

If it is said that Wanda and the X-Men are not very familiar, then they are even more strangers to Jarvis. Moreover, Jarvis is not a mutant. For the X-Men who are all mutants, finding another mutant is no matter how awkward, it is not more awkward than finding an outsider who is not a mutant.

"That is to say, that group of X-Men is very likely to have been instructed by some people. Someone had told them who to find when they encountered trouble..." Shiler cut a piece of meat and sent it into his mouth, then continued: "And the X-Men will only listen to one person..."

Rocket Raccoon widened its eyes and said, "So, it was that bald professor who told his students to let them find Jarvis? But who is this Jarvis? What is special about him?"

"Jarvis might be a bit special, but the person behind him is even more special."

After speaking, Shiler didn't care whether Rocket Raccoon understood or not, but started to analyze from the beginning.

"As you said, there must be a chess player behind this series of events, and every force in this entire event is his chess piece."

"First is Asgard. If the King wants to marry the Queen, then the foreign relatives are the problems he must deal with. First demote and then promote, it can be said to be a typical example of hitting with a stick and giving a sweet date."

"First, on the grounds that the Rainbow Bridge needs maintenance, let Heimdall go back to rest, forcing Sif's relatives to make a choice, sacrifice other people's positions, and keep Heimdall's high position. This is not a conspiracy, but an open plot where everyone knows the purpose."

"Then the question comes, who formulated this plan?"

"Thor has indeed grown a lot and has become more and more like a conscientious monarch with great power, but in fact, he is still an open and upright gentleman, doesn't like to play with people's hearts, and cannot accept the exchange of interests without a bottom line."

"And even if he is willing to do so, the time for him to change his mind is too short. It is impossible to learn the art of the emperor overnight, and it is impossible to use such an open plot so skillfully just after opening his mind not long ago."

"And Loki, he is more like a conspirator. Odin never taught him any open plots of a monarch. He is better at fraud, not good at using the general trend. In the situation where everyone knows the truth, forcing them to make choices beneficial to himself, which is the so-called open plot."

"That is to say, the mastermind of this matter is probably not Thor, nor Loki. They at most count as assists. The real mastermind is someone else."

"And from this matter, the other party is very good at similar open plots. He is very good at creating a scene, making a certain matter only solvable by a certain key figure, and then he can let this key figure ascend to the hall and go to the position he should go to."

"And further is that he will persuade all forces to help him build a scene, and then let the key things of all forces go to the positions they should go to, perfectly using a scene in a matter to achieve all the desired purposes."

"Whether it is Thor wanting Heimdall to regain control of the Rainbow Bridge, Loki wanting Hela to return to Asgard, or Thanos wanting to get the map, the Sorcerer Supreme wanting portal technology, mutants wanting the m'kraan crystal..."

"All these purposes will probably converge into a scene, and then use different people's different motivations and methods to get the harvest they want."

Shiler picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine, his eyes full of smiles. He said in a tone that was appreciative but slightly complex: "What a clever move."

The light of the wine liquid reflected in Shiler's eyes. When he raised his eyes again, his gaze crossed the heavy figures in the dance floor and looked at Tony Stark holding a wine glass opposite him, and Tony Stark was also smiling and looking at him, as if saying to him "It's your turn to fall".

The smile on Shiler's face remained unchanged, but he suddenly took a step forward to the front of the Shi'ar Empire Queen's corpse and said: "I think I already know who the murderer who killed the Queen is."

Instantly, all the people in the game who had their own ghosts all frowned fiercely.
