Chapter 2742

First, Yin Yin Lisha and Aux have already been confirmed.

Baker's mental state is also abnormal; Schiller had already confirmed this through those forms earlier. His personality is still relatively stable, but under these circumstances, his mental state has become unstable to an abnormal degree.

S. H. I. E. L. D. has been investigating, and Sophia, who is by Baker's side, is also abnormal; it is very likely that she has been stimulating Baker's mind.

But it doesn't end there. Another Baker, that is, Sandman, also had an abnormal mental state previously. Schiller still remembers that he was hypnotized and sought revenge on Spider-Man, which is why he caused such a huge disaster.

Schiller eliminated them one by one in his mind. First are those who, by virtue of their strength, cannot have their memories modified or be hypnotized, such as Professor X and his ilk. Second, anyone who has been hypnotized will definitely show abnormalities, such as people like Aux.

After going through everyone in his mind, Schiller believes that the ones who might currently be hypnotized should be the two Bakers, Sophia, Yin Yin Lisha, and the Aux couple.

And they all have more or less of a connection to the space station.

Sandman was supposed to go to the space station to work, Sophia and Mysterio deliberately got jobs on the space station, and Aux also successfully entered the space station to work.

Is Nightmare's target the space station?

Schiller thinks it's impossible. First of all, Nightmare is not a human villain, and he does not live in human society year-round. He might not understand what the space station means to humans, or rather, he can understand it but cannot grasp it; he lacks that kind of thinking.

But a more likely reason is that, just as Dormammu has no need to take action against a space station, this type of demon god has no need to engage in such petty "carving on a grain of rice" actions when wanting to take action against Earth. That is a method only human villains with insufficient strength would adopt, such as Mysterio.

Moreover, based on Schiller's understanding of the villain Nightmare, he is not the kind of evil demon god who wants to destroy humanity. On the contrary, he should be one of the few demon gods who does not wish for Earth's destruction, because human dreams have special significance to him.

Nightmare's goal has always been to drag the whole world into dreams, or rather, to let the dream dimension expand to every dimension, letting all living beings fall into eternal dreams, rather than killing everyone and causing no one to dream. If there were no dreams, his abilities would have no place to be used; destroying the world is equivalent to suicide for him.

But now, every single clue points to him, and among them are intertwined too many vague clues, false and true, making one somewhat confused.

As mentioned before, Greed and Pride are completely opposite. He is not a detective-type player like Pride; he is the mastermind behind the scenes.

He never waits for a puzzle to fall onto his head before finding a way to solve it; he will weave a large net in advance, waiting for all possible things to be caught.

Schiller has already woven countless nets, but he hasn't caught this mastermind behind the scenes. Does this mean the net he wove isn't dense enough?

No, this precisely means that this thing is beyond reason.

Schiller has confidence that all the arrangements he has made in Marvel are sufficient to deal with the arrival of all villains, even including those powerful, peerless abstract entities; he had long ago made preparations to deal with them.

But not this time. Some things happened that were beyond his expectations, which means this thing is unfamiliar.

Almost at this instant, Schiller's confidence, and even his arrogance, made him certain that he hadn't missed anything, thereby deducing that it wasn't that his arrangements weren't seamless, but that the thing that leaked in doesn't belong to this world.

Schiller once again began to deduce from the beginning.

Half a year ago, the Invisible Man appeared frequently in New York, committing only small crimes, and was soon caught by the tail.

Five months ago, Sandman Baker was declared missing. Schiller and his group went to Mount Ximalaya, and later, the Invisible Man was lured by Schiller to Kamar-Taj, his cloak was taken away, and the Invisible Man Robbins escaped.

Four months ago, Stark's wedding documentary began filming, everyone gathered in Los Angeles, Sandman lost control, rampaged all the way from the East Coast to the West Coast, and was successfully controlled by superheroes.

As of now, only one point of doubt has appeared, and that is how Robbins actually escaped from Kamar-Taj.

This is almost completely impossible. Robbins is just an ordinary person; he relied on a divine artifact to have strength beyond that of an ordinary person. How could an ordinary human who would even collapse due to altitude sickness defeat so many resident Great Mages? Even sneaking out would be impossible; Kamar-Taj's protective shield is not just for show.

Even if he found a way to get out of the protective shield, how could he, alone, successfully reach the ground from such a high altitude, walk out of the snow zone, and even hide under the noses of the mages, remaining unfound to this day?

Let's look at the series of events at the space station.

Baker being fired by Stark Industries was quite early, but his team should have only been formed for about a year. That is to say, a year ago, Baker, who was destitute and facing bankruptcy due to being fired, suddenly changed his identity, became Justin Balk, and obtained the ticket to enter the space station.

Up to this point, the doubt is also obvious. In the modern information society, changing one's identity is not that easy. More importantly, Balk's academic information must be real; the space station's auditing staff would certainly not let someone with a fake degree in.

That is to say, Balk is not a fake identity, but a completely real identity that was manufactured. Unless the heads of these few U. S. bureaus take action personally, it is very difficult to create such a realistic identity.

But now, all U. S. law enforcement agencies are almost like a solid block of iron. Even if there is Hydra, there is no core figure who would organize them to carry out such a thing. Since neither Nick nor Schiller did it, creating such an identity out of thin air is completely a fantasy.

Then, Baker's small group caused a scene in the space station, successfully causing half of the space station to fall, and the other half to have an oxygen deficiency crisis. The mysterious superhero Mysterio stood out and became a hit on the internet.

The doubt appears again: either you let half of the space station fall and then you go to save this falling half, or you let the space station run out of oxygen and then you come to save this group of people who are out of oxygen. Why do you need to have half fall and also have a group run out of oxygen? This isn't some dilemma with two ends blocked; then it's divided into two sides of work. Besides adding trouble to oneself, what is the point?

Perhaps he might be trying to design a dilemma with two ends blocked, but Schiller cannot see any possibility that Mysterio could stably handle the space station side that fell. Relying solely on his drones wouldn't be able to do it.

This means that if Schiller didn't make a call to summon Clark, Mysterio was planning to let the space station fall like that?

Compared to such the greatest disaster in human aerospace history, wouldn't his glory of saving people be overshadowed? Since he wants to write a hero script, why isn't it that he saved everyone? This is not a condition that is very difficult to achieve, as long as he doesn't go and destroy the suspension power device of the other half of the spaceship.

Speaking of this, the doubt comes again: how was the suspension power device destroyed, just like how the photovoltaic integrated device was burned out?

These two have a common characteristic, which is that their shells are made of molten steel, and Earth currently does not have a technology that can directly burn through this alloy, at least not in a way that can destroy them so quickly. So where did Mysterio's technology come from?

Four layers of doubt, corresponding to magic technology, social relations, artistic creation, and science technology respectively.

To let Robbins escape and deceive the eyes of many Great Mages proves that the other party must have superb abilities in magic.

To forge a seamless identity for Baker, the joints that need to be cleared are vast, proving that the other party has the entire ordinary human society in the palm of their hand.

To burn down the suspension power system and the photovoltaic integrated device, one must necessarily have a technology that leads all of humanity.

And the breakthrough point of the matter, the flaw in all the strategies of the mastermind behind the scenes, lies in the artistic creation aspect not mentioned above.

The magic technology can be called perfect, the social relations are watertight, the science technology is far ahead, but only one point exposes the fact that he has no artistic cells, and that is the superfluous act of letting half of the space station fall.

Schiller smiled lightly, and the eyes of everyone looking at him were somewhat horrified, not understanding how he could still laugh under such circumstances.

Professor X tentatively asked: "What's wrong? Schiller? Have you thought of a good way?"

"I just thought of some interesting things."

"What things?"

"Have you ever heard a joke?"

"What?"

"Do you know why Batman can't graduate?"

The jump in the topic was too great, and everyone was very confused.

"Because he is not good at psychology, yet he insists on studying psychology." Schiller didn't keep them in suspense, but gave the answer directly, and then he said: "The Batmen all over the world are really all the same."

"What does this have to do with Batman?"

"Those who are not good at psychology insist on taking psychology, and those who are not good at art insist on doing art. They are really a bunch of stubborn people."

"What on earth are you talking about?" Professor X almost felt that Schiller had a fever, because the possibility of him being nervous to the point of mental disorder didn't exist. He continued to ask: "Do you know who is directing all this behind the scenes?"

"Don't use the word 'director'; this is an insult to directors." Schiller narrowed his eyes slightly, as if most of his attention wasn't on the conversation, but was pulled away very far.

"Let me think about what to do..." Schiller said. Professor X had just indicated that they wouldn't disturb him if he was thinking, when Schiller, as if he had suddenly thought of something, raised his voice and said: "Then let's act out a play with him. He will eventually get what he wants, but perhaps he won't."

"What do you mean?"

"Where is Eddie?" Schiller suddenly turned around and asked.

"Uh, he should be editing the documentary for the third season of Stark's Romantic Wedding Trip."

"Stop editing that boring wedding trip documentary. I have a better subject. Tell me his work location, and I'll go provide him with some new inspiration."

After Schiller left, everyone looked at each other, not knowing what madness he was having. And Schiller went non-stop all the way to Eddie's studio, where they were testing special effects equipment during a work break.

"Why are you here, Doctor? My psychological evaluation report was submitted on time." Eddie said half-jokingly.

"I'm not here to see you for a medical condition this time." Schiller said: "It's like this, a friend of mine who loves screenwriting and directing brought some video material. Can you help me edit it into a movie?"

Eddie was a bit puzzled, but he still reached out and took the things Schiller brought. He plugged the hard drive into the computer, and the video that played was actually from the perspective of a surveillance camera.

"This won't do." Eddie said: "This perspective is a complete disaster for a movie. It's okay to have one or two scenes occasionally, but if there's too much, it can't be edited."

"Then can you use special effects equipment to restore the scene at that time, and then use movie filming techniques to shoot that scene?"

"I can, but what's the point of this?" Eddie picked some more surveillance camera perspectives to watch and found that this seemed to be related to the Invisible Man case they were investigating before. These surveillance shots were all clues about the Invisible Man.

Further down, it seemed to be filming Sandman, then Kamar-Taj, then Los Angeles, and then... there was actually a space station?

Eddie was confused. He said: "What is all this?"

"Just follow the chronological order, use special effects to reproduce all these things, and then shoot it into a movie. I will pay you a good price."

Eddie didn't understand, but for the sake of money, he still nodded and took on this strange job.
