Chapter 2673
Seeing Natasha flipped through all the materials recorded since S. H. I. E. L. D. came into contact with Schiller, and finally found that Schiller was probably really at odds with Hydra.
Since Schiller appeared in S. H. I. E. L. D.'s field of vision, not a single Hydra had been able to walk out of his calculations alive.
Even dying wasn't enough; not only did they have to die in their place and maximize utilization efficiency, but after dying, they had to be pulled up to be resurrected, subjected to secondary utilization, then die and live again, wishing to squeeze every bit from body to soul.
Seeing Natasha said with a clear conscience that since she had known Schiller, she had indeed witnessed many times when Schiller used a crazy big plan to pit a bunch of people, and even some people were fooled until they were dizzy, and finally had to give him a "thank you."
Except for the fact that he really wanted to use these plans to fleece wool and obtain benefits, most of the time Schiller preferred to watch the sheep run naked. Seeing Natasha knew that many links in the plan were purely Schiller's eccentricities, and there was no other reason.
But for Hydra, this didn't look much like fleecing wool, but more like direct bloodletting, or rather, like chopping off the sheep's head with one knife.
This didn't quite fit Schiller's logic of doing things. According to Seeing Natasha's observation and what was written in these summarized materials, Schiller was relatively concerned about sustainable development, meaning he didn't fleece one sheep, but gave most sheep as much space as possible to grow wool.
But looking at the experience over the past few years, Schiller had been frantically attacking Hydra. In the early stages, he could fleece them several times a day, and even each plan had him in it.
And the result was that now Hydra was basically un-fleeceable. This organization, which had been famous in history, was completely driven out of the stage of history by Schiller's set of lightning five-whip strikes.
Even the Hydra S. H. I. E. L. D. built by Nick didn't have many Hydras left now. After the Solar System Development Plan started, most of the Hydras who had committed crimes were replaced by agents trained by specialized agent academies.
The situation of the tripartite confrontation between Hydra agents, FBI agents, and KGB agents within S. H. I. E. L. D. was gone forever.
Now Hydra basically belonged to social extinction. It had been too long since there was news of them causing trouble. The reason was indeed that Schiller's hands were too ruthless. Not only did those snake heads fall into his hands one after another, but the grassroots organization was also hollowed out by him.
Connecting this to the Manhattan district Hydra head Schiller killed when he was young, how could this look normal? Had Hydra offended Schiller before?
This couldn't be investigated, because Hydra had offended too many people. In the years from the outbreak of World War II to the present, they had done I don't know how many bad things, caused I don't know how many families to be broken, and wished to offend all the famous organizations in the world. It was too normal for Schiller to have a grudge against them.
The investigation reached a dead end again, but Seeing Natasha knew Nick wouldn't be satisfied. His "investigation to the end" meant he wished he could find out how many bowls of rice someone ate on a certain year, month, and day. Knowing that Schiller and Hydra's origins were extraordinary, he wouldn't give up.
Sure enough, after Seeing Natasha handed in the investigation results, Nick first roared and scolded Hydra, and then roared and asked her to scroll through more short videos to see if she could brush out the relationship between Schiller and Hydra.
Of course, this couldn't be brushed out. For ordinary people, Hydra was still a bit too mysterious. Although many people had heard that there was such a terrorist organization, the distance from their lives was too far, and it was impossible for any Hydra agent to come out and break the news.
Seeing Natasha thought about it and felt that doing the work like this was indeed not very good, but just repeatedly flipping through these old sesame and rotten millet materials wasn't a way. Finally, she decided to travel back to take a look.
Nick was currently the actual controller of the Time Variance Authority. He had a way to let people travel through time while maintaining the stability of the timeline. The Time Variance Authority was originally for this. Seeing Natasha had also been there a few times before, all to investigate some hidden and unclear pasts of the previous generation.
But they had to follow many regulations when doing things as agents, such as not being able to change things in the past, having to participate in it as a bystander, not being able to meet their original selves, and not being able to leave image data. Text and other materials also had to be summarized after returning, and then a reasonable version could be left after deletion and modification.
Seeing Natasha filed a report, and Nick soon agreed. Seeing Natasha packed up and prepared to set off.
She had to travel back to an earlier time point. At that time, the Soviet Union hadn't disintegrated yet, and Schiller should still be a child.
Seeing Natasha speculated that if Schiller really had any deep hatred for Hydra, it should have happened during this time period. After all, even the strongest human beings had a fragile childhood. Judging from Hydra's heinous way of doing things, it was very likely that they had harmed Schiller in his childhood.
But Seeing Natasha went back and took a turn, and didn't find any problems, or to be precise, she didn't find Schiller at all.
The records of Schiller's childhood in the materials were blank. Seeing Natasha had too few materials in her hands. Although she knew Schiller might be of mixed race, she didn't know which country he was mixed with, and didn't know when he arrived in America or if he was born in America.
If she didn't even know this, it would be too difficult to investigate. She couldn't check all the entry and exit and birth populations of a certain year in America, right?
This was great. Schiller's childhood became an unresolved mystery again. When Schiller's timeline reached after he became famous, she found that Nick indeed didn't doubt why he would cooperate with the FBI. He started to doubt a more essential question: what was going on with Schiller's childhood?
Most superheroes, including Nick, knew that Schiller was likely not from this world. Schiller actually didn't intend to disguise, such as occasionally popping out a few Chinese idioms that he couldn't translate into English, or were too long to translate, and his academic background didn't show any experience of studying in China, such as having some understanding of all superheroes beyond their contact range.
Regarding Schiller's childhood, Steve and Stark had also investigated it before, but they investigated it in Schiller's Tower. There were some memory fragments of Schiller's past there.
Including that corridor filled with small advertisements and that room were all real, but that was shortly after he was picked up back to the research institute. The research institute wanted to renovate, so he was taken home by the nurse who took care of him to live for a period of time. It was also within the scope of the research institute, just moved to the family building, so there would be such a life-like scene.
As for those messy stories, they were all brain-filled by Steve and Stark themselves. Of course, some memory fragments from the orphanage before might have been mixed in. After all, Schiller's memory during this period was chaotic. After being organized into a book later, there were often mixed-up things.
Because of this, Schiller was very certain that the Superego definitely didn't copy this part when copying the background story, because most of Schiller's memories during this period were messy. When they each contributed their memories and organized them into a book, there were many places that weren't detailed enough, and now they were unexaminable. This kind of memory full of magical realism shouldn't be able to be copied into the Marvel world, which still had basic logic.
In this way, Schiller's childhood should be a blank like a small character who wasn't famous in the comics. Originally, no one cared, so it didn't matter if it existed, but once Nick looked over, the blank was revealed.
Besides worrying about not being able to explain it well, Schiller also suspected that this kind of large-scale blank background story might become a loophole in this universe, because as long as it hadn't been anchored, there was a possibility of being changed. What if his origin story was changed, leading to many things in the future changing?
Thinking about it, to fill in the origin story, he had to go and fill it himself. But the trouble with filling in the childhood background story was that to have a childhood, he had to have a family. Even if there were no parents, at least there had to be an adoptive family. He couldn't have grown up in the forest like this, right?
Choosing a random adoptive family wasn't impossible, but he also had to round up the Hydra and Soviet Union matters. Not to mention the China and America matters, what kind of magical family could have these four attributes at the same time?
Schiller thought for a long time and felt that the China and Soviet Union matters could be put aside first, because the room Steve and Stark saw in his memory could also be explained as his hallucination or a story he made up.
The Soviet Union was because there were no conditions. It was hard to expect a child to understand any great ambition at the age of less than ten. It would have to wait until junior high school at least. This story could be filled in during his youth.
Then the problem fell on America and Hydra. First of all, this had to be an American family, otherwise crossing the ocean would be too much trouble. This was easy to solve. The adoption mechanism in America was still relatively perfect. As long as Schiller went to a relatively good orphanage, it wouldn't be difficult to find an adoptive family.
The more troublesome part was Hydra. Although Schiller wanted to fill in his background story, he didn't want to kill a family that wasn't originally killed by Hydra. He didn't have the confidence to provoke Hydra in a family that wouldn't have had any contact with Hydra in the original timeline with a child's body. So the best choice was to find a family that had provoked Hydra in the original timeline and was killed by Hydra.
It sounded a bit roundabout, but it was actually very simple. As long as Schiller was adopted by a Hydra victim, the logic behind it would be smooth.
The background story would probably become growing up in an orphanage, being adopted by a family, and finally this family was killed by Hydra. Schiller met the KGB in the process of revenge, joined the great cause of the Soviet Union, and then returned to America to launch a revenge action against Hydra.
But because he was too young and careless in his actions, he was caught by the FBI and had to cooperate with the FBI. Finally, he still embarked on the path of a psychologist, and then because of Stark's employment, he dealt with superheroes, and finally was hired by S. H. I. E. L. D. to become their psychological consultant.
This entire story could be said to have integrated Schiller's past life and this life's background relatively smoothly, except that Schiller's past life's enemies were replaced by Hydra.
This wasn't wronging them either. Schiller knew himself that when he repeatedly fleeced Hydra's wool and even killed them all, it couldn't be said that there was no factor of hating the house and its crow. It was somewhat of a personal grudge. Anyway, these cross-border large-scale criminal organizations were basically all the same.
After the script was ready, Schiller began to select victims. Just like the investigation results of Seeing Natasha, there were countless people who were persecuted by Hydra in that era. Schiller targeted a pair of scientists who had established the latest firewall for the Hydra electronic life leader Zola at the time, but were silenced by Hydra because they knew too much.
