Schiller was stunned there. He couldn't help but confirm it again, but Aux said very firmly, "There was no window opposite the photovoltaic integration device."

This is actually impossible. The photovoltaic integration device is an energy device mounted on the outer shell of the space station. This thing is very large, so it cannot be placed above the space station's passage. It must be placed above the overall area, and below is the energy hub.

And in this room structure, except for the side where the passage came from, the other three sides were all windows.

In other words, no matter which side Aux turned from to which side, he would definitely find a window.

"Are you sure you looked down?" Schiller asked this to exclude him from walking to the side of the passage.

"Yes, I looked down. The bottom was sealed. There was nothing below." Aux said.

His tone was so certain that Schiller was a bit suspicious of himself. After confirming with the gray fog again, Schiller was sure that the building structure where the photovoltaic integration device was located had windows on three sides.

In other words, Aux had hallucinations at that time. This is not a typical symptom of bipolar disorder. Did I make a misjudgment?

"And then what did you do?" Schiller asked.

"I, I wanted to let someone come to save me, I wanted to wait..."

"Wait for what?"

"The inspection team." Aux spent a lot of effort to say this word. He said, "They will circle around the space station several times. They can see me..."

Schiller was somewhat surprised again. So Aux also thought of the method of waiting for the spaceship to fly over and see him. Then why didn't he do it?

"There were monsters." Aux said, "I saw the sun's flames gradually approaching me. Monsters with tentacles were born from some black things. They kept attacking me. I kept flopping on the ground, but I couldn't put out the flames..."

My God, this is not an ordinary hallucination. Schiller thought in his heart, is this really a hallucination? Or were there really monsters that destroyed the photovoltaic integration device?

The Marvel world is bad at this point. In the original world, if a patient said this to Schiller, Schiller would 100% confirm that he had hallucinations, because that ordinary world didn't have so many monsters. But in the Marvel world, it might not be the case.

Before, there was a patient who sought medical treatment everywhere and finally sought Schiller. He said that when he dreamed, he could always see a guy with goat hooves chattering to him, and sometimes he could see him during the day. Other psychologists couldn't handle this symptom and could only diagnose him with schizophrenia.

Only after asking did he know that Mephisto had really gone into his dream. At that time, a salesman at the Sanctum Sanctorum changed his number, and Mephisto didn't know. The phone call was wrong, and he had been harassing this unlucky guy for half a month, almost scaring him crazy.

Schiller tried to let Aux describe the monsters he saw more accurately, but Aux couldn't say more. To sum up, there were two points. First, it seemed to have run out from the sun. Second, it was covered in flames, and finally, it burned the photovoltaic integration device with a fire.

Because he hadn't seen the specific state, Schiller didn't know what it was burned into, but it could cause such a large-scale power outage. Perhaps it burned the energy hub on this half.

Then Schiller asked Aux a key question, which was how he came back.

It is known that Aux didn't bring a safety rope, and he did have the idea of wanting to break the photovoltaic integration device to let people come to find him. If those monsters were hallucinations, then he might have really done so. Then was he really saved by someone in the end?

Or in the case of such a large-scale power outage, did people still have time to save him?

"I don't know." Aux gave an obvious answer, "Wasn't it you who saved me?"

Seeing that he was becoming more and more logical, Schiller also knew that hypnosis could only go this far, otherwise it would be too easy to be discovered. He had to terminate his hypnosis and began to look for clues around.

At this time, someone was peeking outside the dormitory. It should be Aux's roommate who came back. Schiller happened to catch him. He asked, "How did Aux come back?"

The other party was stunned and then said, "What do you mean how did he come back? He just suddenly lay on the bed, just like before."

"Has he been sleepwalking lately?"

"Of course, he always sits up in the middle of the night and makes some noises, waking everyone up. We have tolerated him for a long time."

Schiller nodded, seemingly having some ideas. When he walked back quickly, Aux's roommate grabbed him and said, "Which department are you from? Why do I think you look a bit unfamiliar? Are you his friend?"

"I'm from the medical department." Schiller lied casually, then said, "Your bodies are relatively healthy, of course you haven't seen me. Now I have to go back to my office..."

Natasha looked at the few people in front of her and said, "Don't you think your plan is a bit like taking off your pants to fart? Can't I just fly up in a fighter jet and take a look, or take some photos for you, instead of having to use those damn surveillance cameras?"

"Actually, we want to try to see if we can find the surveillance footage from that time." The Chinese scientist said, "If the other party's means aren't that brilliant, he might not have been able to delete all four backups. Although we can see some clues from the current state, it would be even better if we could see the process of the incident."

Natasha pursed her lips. Ben Parker saw her dilemma, so he said, "If possible, you go up and take some photos first. It would be best if you can analyze the problem from the current state, but if not, perhaps we really have to go to the main control room."

Natasha said with concerns, "It's not that I don't want to go to the half of the space station that fell. The key is that the state over there is also very sensitive now. After all, the suspension power device over there is broken, and any object approaching it might affect its state. Unless it's a last resort, it's best not to approach it."

"We certainly understand this concern." The female scientist said, "But since it can hang in mid-air so inexplicably, it proves that there must be an external force to ensure its safety. I don't quite believe that this external force will disappear because of the approach of a small plane. If it's a last resort, we have to take the risk."

After the group discussed for a while, Natasha set off. She was an expert at flying this kind of small spaceship. Before long, she flew to the top of the space station and hovered there.

She saw the charred photovoltaic integration device. Very strangely, the ceiling of the space station next to it had no traces of smoke and fire, only a lonely piece of carbon.

Natasha couldn't be considered a scientist, but she at least had common sense. First, a fire in a vacuum environment is very strange. Second, since it could catch fire, why did it only burn this one thing? Finally, the ceiling was burned through, so why didn't the oxygen inside run out from the hole?

Natasha couldn't figure it out either, so she decided to leave professional matters to professional people. She took photos and flew back, but the professionals were also shocked.

"My God, didn't you say it was smashed?" The Chinese scientist who participated in the construction of the photovoltaic integration device was simply dumbfounded. He said, "How could it be a fire? How could it be a fire? Does physics not exist anymore???"

The others looked at the photos and were also speechless. If Aux could do this by himself, then the Nobel Prize would have to be changed to the Aux Prize this year.

"Don't tell me a small nuclear fusion happened here." The black scientist blinked wildly. Clearly, his brain was spinning fast, but the knowledge filled in his brain didn't have a single line that could explain this phenomenon. He said, "Other than that, I can't think of any possibility."

"Photovoltaic, sun, fire..." The Chinese scientist scratched his head and said, "Do you think this is a bit strange? This thing is used to collect solar energy, so it's like being burned by the sun. Is this murderer doing this on purpose?"

If Schiller were here, he would immediately have associations, but the people here are all materialist warriors and are not interested in these mystical images.

"There is another problem." Natasha pointed out, "Look here. Was a hole burned through here? Then why didn't the oxygen run out from here?"

Several people gathered to look at the place she pointed to and also felt surprised. In this universe, the oxygen circulation systems of many races' spaceships can prevent oxygen loss even if the spaceship is damaged, but humans can't do it.

The best way for humans to prevent oxygen loss in space so far is sealing, sealing everything tightly, and every hatch goes through several gates. Although the method is clumsy, it is very effective.

But judging from this broken hole, the lost oxygen is not a small matter. If oxygen could really run out from here, the oxygen meter would have hit the bottom long ago.

"I'll go over there and take a look." Ben Parker said.

"That's a power outage area!" The female scientist said somewhat surprised, "And if there is really oxygen loss, you might suffocate if you go there."

"I'll bring a flashlight. When we came, we brought several small portable oxygen bottles, which are enough for one person to persist for half an hour. No matter what, I have to go and see what exactly is going on."

"I'll go with him." Natasha said, "At least I am also a S. H. I. E. L. D. agent. If I encounter any danger, I can also protect him."

"But we need someone to fly the spaceship to the other half of the space station." The black man said, "Only you can fly the spaceship here."

"No, not only me. There are many pilots who can fly small spaceships on the space station, otherwise how were patients transported before?"

The female scientist thought for a while and said, "The storage department should know where the pilots are now. I have an old classmate over there. I'll go and ask."

The two groups of people split into two paths. Ben Parker and Natasha prepared to go to the energy hub room to check the ceiling damage, and the scientist group prepared to find a pilot who could fly the spaceship. The two teams parted ways in front of the office door.

And Schiller followed the office door number that Ben Parker had mentioned before and touched his way to the office where the deputy chief engineer was. When he knocked on the door, this fat, big-eared middle-aged man was smoking.

Washington time 11:00 PM, two hours left until the space station oxygen is exhausted.
