Chapter 1601

Seeing Natasha looked at Shiler with some surprise and let out an uncomprehending syllable: "Huh?"

"I came here just to divert other people's attention. You should be able to imagine the measures they would take when I say I'm going to find trouble with other gods again, right?"

"At least they would definitely follow you."

"I just made up a good show of death so they wouldn't follow me." Shiler turned back to look at Seeing Natasha, grinned, revealing a somewhat nasty smile, and said.

"Everyone who participates in fishing activities knows me well, and they also know you well. They won't think we died together just because we had a quarrel. Based on their understanding of me, they will definitely think it must be me who lured you."

"That is the fact."

"Even if this group of people can't guess that I intentionally set a trap to let others kill me to find Death, the other bait I threw down before is enough for the other two geniuses to guess my whereabouts."

"Tony Stark should be one of them, right?"

"Of course there's him. I intentionally ignored the micro-life monitoring device he installed inside my watch, and added a little dramatic decoration to my former residence that they are most interested in."

"Under my intentional guidance, they will begin to guess the reason why I am interested in Death. Perhaps not so certain, but now that I'm dead, they can only continue to think along the original line of thought, feeling that I might have repeated old tricks and gone to find Death again."

"In this way, everyone's line of sight is drawn to Death by you."

"That's right. I'm not sure about others, but Tony will definitely go to Death to ask for an explanation. It's not the first time he's done this."

"But by the time he finds Death, you will have already left the Realm of Death, right?"

"It's that the two of us will leave the Realm of Death together. By then, Tony will ask Death for people, Death won't be able to give them to him, and the two will definitely have a conflict. Maybe this group of people will join forces to fight Death, so I will have plenty of time to find trouble with Oblivion."

"I always feel that your energy is spent more on dealing with your friends." Seeing Natasha pointed out sharply, "Finding trouble with gods is just a side dish. You just like playing hide-and-seek with them."

"It can also be considered as venting for the Dr. Shiler you are familiar with. He can't bear to play with his friends, but I'm different. Of course, I'm not a quack, just a bit more unscrupulous than him."

Shiler reached out and made a gesture of "a little bit."

In the lakeside cabin, the moment Nick smelled the bloody scent, he switched from that relaxed vacation posture to the professional posture of the King of Agents and S. H. I. E. L. D. Director. He turned his head and roared at everyone who rushed in: "Get out, all of you! Don't contaminate the crime scene!"

Everyone went out in a swarm. Nick waved his hand at the outside and said, "Steve Rogers, come in and give me a hand. Gwen Stacy, go get gloves and fishing line, do blood spatter direction guidance!"

"The ones surnamed Odinson, wait a while, come over later for magical inspection. Professor X, please help me contact Tony Stark, and Stephen Strange. I want to know where they are right now!"

Everyone took their orders. Steve walked into the house cautiously. It wasn't that he was being pretentious, it was just that there was really too much blood in the room—flowing on the floor, spraying on the walls, contaminating the sheets and quilts. There wasn't much room left for him to step.

"How many gunshots did you hear?"

"I swear there were three." Steve took a few deep breaths, the influence of alcohol fading rapidly in his body. Nick's eyes were fixed on the pistol in Seeing Natasha's hand. He was all too familiar with it.

"Shiler angered Seeing Natasha, no doubt." Nick stepped forward across the bloodstains, looked at the huge wound on Seeing Natasha's chest to her abdomen, gasped, and said, "But Seeing Natasha should have also angered Shiler to some extent. Otherwise, even if Shiler wanted to use Seeing Natasha's death, he wouldn't have caused such injuries on her."

"Seeing Natasha has no pain sensation." Steve reminded.

"No, she just has no pain reflex." Nick shook his head and retorted, "She can feel pain, but her body won't retreat because of pain. That was the result of the initial training and experiments. We tested it, and the result was very shocking."

"I think there must be some misunderstanding in this." Steve frowned and looked at Shiler, saying, "Shiler wouldn't hurt Seeing Natasha like this. Even if he were angry, he wouldn't. He's not that kind of person."

"Shiler himself isn't lightly injured either." Nick cautiously crossed the bloodstains to check Shiler's corpse. He reached out his arm to take the gloves handed over by Gwen Spider-Woman, gently turned Shiler's head leaning against the wall, and checked the wounds on his collarbone and neck.

Thor stood outside the door, completely stunned. The expression on his face meant two things: one was "I don't understand but I'm shocked," and the other was "Humans are really fucking interesting."

Half a moment later, a roar suddenly came from the door: "Loki Odinson! You listen to me! You are absolutely not allowed to fall in love with a human, otherwise I will lock you in solitary confinement for ten thousand years!

!"

Hela leaned against the doorframe, looking at Nick and Steve who were using fishing line to make blood spatter direction markers in the room, and said in a lazy tone, "If there's anything you need me for, just speak up."

"Wait a moment, ma'am. I'm afraid you'll have to see if there's the breath of Death here."

"There is." Hela's answer was very concise, and her supplement was also very brief: "Dead people all have the breath of Death."

"Did Death do anything special? Did she just take Shiler away like this? Can you feel sadness, anger, or reluctance after being forced?"

"Death reception is an automatic program." Hela's wording was very cautious, and at the same time, she carried trendy wording that shouldn't belong to her age. She continued, "The Goddess of Death doesn't receive people personally. The vast majority of human souls, from entering the Realm of Death to wandering to extinction, will not receive any of her attention."

"Is there any residual magical breath nearby?"

"As far as I can feel, no. But we can wait for the Sorcerer Supreme to come and make a specific judgment."

"Thank you, ma'am. You've been a big help. I have no more questions here. You can go back and rest."

Hela didn't pester too much either. She just took one last look at Shiler's corpse and then went back to her room to rest. Thor was still lecturing Loki, while Sif and Gwen Spider-Woman had been handing over tools, collecting evidence, and running back and forth.

After a while, Professor X pushed his wheelchair over and said, "Tony replied to me saying that they think Shiler repeated old tricks and went to find the Goddess of Death again. Now they are at the Sanctum Sanctorum, preparing to call Death first to ask what exactly is going on."

"Then let them not come over." Nick said without looking back, "This place can only clarify the process of death, and communicating with the Goddess of Death still requires the two of them."

"Gwen!" Nick, who had entered work mode, roared again: "Don't stand stupidly at the door. Go see if there's any hair or fingerprints left on that wall, if there are any sweat marks, hurry!"

"Do you really think you can find anything?" Gwen Spider-Woman was somewhat reluctant to do so, but as a result, she really found an inconspicuous short red hair on the wall by the door.

Nick and Steve simply pulled the direction of the blood with fishing line, and then Nick beckoned to Steve and said, "I roughly understand what's going on. Steve, come over and cooperate with me."

"You are Seeing Natasha. You drank alcohol and knocked on Shiler's door, but not to flirt. Within two minutes of the door opening, there was no physical contact. Shiler even wanted to drive you away."

Nick walked to the door and pulled the doorknob, while Steve pretended to be drunk and leaned against the door.

"But for some reason, he still let you in. Then you stood against the wall and left a hair of yours on the wall."

"Then, suddenly!" Nick raised his tone, scaring Gwen Spider-Woman and Sif: "I grabbed your neck like this and pinned you to the wall, and you took out a dagger and cut my arm."

"The two of us began a fierce fight." Nick skipped this process, but dragged Steve to the bed and choked his neck with his arm, saying: "What puzzles me most is that I, that is Shiler, after choking Seeing Natasha's neck like this, sliced open her abdomen with a knife."

"And what shocks me is that even so, Seeing Natasha still broke free from his restraint, kicked over the nightstand, got the pistol, and shot Shiler three times, one of which hit the heart squarely."

His voice fell, and the onlookers were all silent. Finally, Sif evaluated: "Two lunatics, complete lunatics."

"Can't they feel pain?" Gwen Spider-Woman said incredulously: "One was almost nailed through the shoulder blade, yet could still choke others with that arm and slice them open. The other was sliced open like a slaughter, yet could still fire three shots squarely into the heart. What kind of monsters are these??!

"They usually can't be judged by common sense." Nick looked down at the traces on the ground and speculated: "I think Shiler used Seeing Natasha. The two of them went to the Realm of Death together."

"Tony went to ask for people. How is the progress?"

"Bad news." Charles paused and said: "Death completely denies it, and says she hasn't seen Shiler recently. Tony doesn't believe what she said, and you know his temper. The two had a big argument over the phone, and Tony is already on his way to the Realm of Death."

Nick frowned tightly and said: "This doesn't make sense. Before, Death avoided Shiler like avoiding a plague god. Now that Shiler has gone to the Realm of Death, why won't she let people go? Could it be that there's some deal between them?"

"Tony won't let Shiler mess around." Steve said with his hands on his hips: "No matter what deal they have, Tony will definitely make Death let people go. If Death refuses..."

Nick walked out of the room quickly, waved his big hand and said: "Back to S. H. I. E. L. D., prepare for war! Seeing Natasha..."

Nick instinctively wanted to call Seeing Natasha, but when he remembered that she was still a corpse lying on the ground, he covered his forehead with a headache and said: "Oh my god! I paid her insurance for fifty years, but she's going to be absent now?! When Shiler comes back, I must settle this account with him!"

Gwen Spider-Woman was stunned in place. She looked at the backs of several people rushing out in a swarm, and then looked back at the two corpses on the ground, shocked and said: "Hey! Are you serious? Two people died here! Is the investigation process over just like that?!"

Although Gwen Spider-Woman often comes to this universe, she doesn't know about the existence of the United Heaven, and doesn't know much about Shiler's previous great achievements. She just rushed out of the door and shouted at Nick: "Wait, what about the corpses? You should at least clean them up?!"

"Agents will come to collect the corpses later." Nick's voice came from the end of the corridor.

"Wait a minute! But aren't they your friends? They died!

! Hey, Captain America! Don't you have any opinions to express?!"

Steve stood downstairs with his arms crossed, looking at Gwen Spider-Woman on the second floor and said: "My opinion is, you'd better finish revising your thesis quickly, miss, otherwise Shiler will crawl out of hell tonight to find you."

"Pfft, who are you trying to scare!"

That night, Gwen Spider-Woman grabbed her quilt and huddled in the corner of the wall, trembling, looking at the figure floating outside the window knocking on the glass, and said in a voice with a hint of crying.

"Dean Shiler! The debt has a head and the master has a debt, it wasn't me who killed you, you can't..."

"Go revise your thesis quickly!"

"... huh?"
