Stark talked with Miles, while Schiller talked to Khonshu in his heart.

"How is it? Do you feel the change in the upgrade now?"

"Average." Khonshu evaluated, "Maybe there is progress compared to your own before, but compared to the other one, you are still too far behind."

"It's just that it can be done, and it didn't say it can be done very well." Schiller said, "Just like I can imitate Stephen's surgical skills, but I don't have his muscle memory, let alone his love for medicine, so naturally I can't be the Hand of God, and fighting is the same."

"Then what is the meaning of this upgrade?"

"Although the quality is not enough, the quantity can make up for it. Fighting is just one of the skills, and there are quite a few others."

"For example?"

"For example, I finally have the patience to study those big books on magic and mythology." Schiller stopped at the door of the temple and didn't go out with Stark and the others.

The others looked back at him, Schiller shook his head and said: "The image of the bull-headed monster appears in multiple mythological systems, I will investigate from this angle."

"Do you really not want to go with us to see the analysis results of the bull-headed monster?"

"I have my own analysis means."

Miles remembered that the first bull-headed monster that was defeated seemed to have been taken away by Moon Knight, he nodded and said: "Alright, if there is any discovery, I hope you can notify us."

"You haven't said whether you agreed to join the team." Stark stood at the door of the temple and asked, "I admit that you are very strong in the use of magic, we just need such talents, do you want to join?"

Schiller nodded and said: "But I don't guarantee that I will act with you."

"Whatever you want." Stark said while turning around, "I also don't think the investigation into mythology will have any results, let's go."

After Stark left, Schiller went to the back garden of the temple. On one side of the garden, there were several huge stone coffins.

He raised his hand, one of them floated up, the lid opened, and inside was the bull-headed monster that was almost beheaded before.

He has turned back into a human, but the state has been frozen, so he still maintains a painful and terrified expression.

Schiller covered the lid of the stone coffin, his fingers closed gently, and the stone coffin and the things inside turned into light and flew into his palm.

And then he himself turned into a ray of moonlight, landing in front of the window sill of the operating room on the top floor of the New York Presbyterian Hospital.

Strange, who was leaning against the wall and dozing off, woke up, saw the figure on the window sill, and he hadn't reacted yet.

The disguise Khonshu gave Schiller could deceive ordinary people, but couldn't deceive the Sorcerer Supreme, Strange narrowed his eyes and said: "Am I dreaming? Why did you dress yourself like this?"

"Didn't you know yet? Introduce, the latest returning superhero Moon Knight III." Schiller took off his hood and said.

"What the hell." Strange sneered.

"According to the rules of superheroes, you are the only one who knows my true identity, are you happy?"

"According to Schiller's rules, if you said so, it means I should be the last one to know, you say am I happy?"

"Who let you lock yourself in the operating room for these few days? And I didn't dare to enter casually, in case your hand shakes and causes some irreparable losses to the human political and economic circles, wouldn't that be too cheap for humans?"

Strange rolled his eyes greatly.

"When is your next surgery?"

"20 minutes later."

"Do you mind if I cut the line?"

"Very mind, get out, otherwise I will call the head nurse."

Schiller took out the written medical record, shook it in front of Strange and said: "Are you sure? Then I will really go."

"Come back." Strange waved his hand, the medical report flew into his hand, he flipped through it and put it aside, and then said: "The moon in New York disappeared for a moment the night before last, was it you?"

"Khonshu did it."

Without paying attention to Khonshu's cursing in his ear, Schiller continued: "I came to find you really for serious business, you have to look at this."

Schiller spread his fingers, a cluster of light flew out, and the Black man whose state was frozen by moonlight energy landed on the operating table, the wound on the neck and the blood were kept at the moment of injury.

Strange seemed to feel something, his face became serious, he put on gloves and walked to the operating table, looking at the Black man's eyes.

"I can't be sure." Strange shook his head and said, "His power source seems to be some kind of... curse? There are some factors I don't understand that affected the state of the curse, so I can't determine which kind of curse it is."

"I'm not asking you to investigate this either, can you save him back?"

Strange looked at Schiller speechlessly and said: "Are you really planning to be a stupid superhero who knows nothing about social common sense and only knows how to shout justice and help?"

"Can't magic work either?"

"You might as well go directly to Death to resurrect him."

"I am doing superhero work now, superheroes should cherish life, don't let me always hang words like losing money on my lips, that's too unheroic."

"Alright, great hero, at the moment of his death, I can block his soul, let you ask what is going on."

"Really worthy of being the Sorcerer Supreme!" Schiller gave Strange a thumbs up.

Schiller withdrew the moonlight energy attached to the Black man, the blood at the neck began to splash, the neck had been broken for more than half, and death was only a matter of time regardless of whether it was treated or not.

It only took a few seconds to have no vital signs, Strange grabbed at the void, and a phantom was intercepted.

Schiller knew that time was pressing, so he didn't talk nonsense, he looked at the Black man and said: "Are you aware that you will become a monster?"

The Black man just opened his mouth wanting to speak, Schiller interrupted him, and then said: "I think you should understand the current situation, you are already dead, and it is impossible to be resurrected. When some people promised you some conditions, they didn't mention this point, right?"

A complex expression appeared on the Black man's face, and after a while he opened his mouth, Schiller heard a weak voice.

"A woman named Perry found me, saying that as long as I took some kind of medicine and then went to participate in the protest, she would give me a large sum of money."

"Where is the medicine?"

"Only one, I have already eaten it."

"What does that woman look like?"

"White hair, very tall, eyes a bit strange."

"I know, you can rest in peace."

The soul soon disappeared in the operating room, Schiller looked at Strange again and said: "I know you should have no time to help me investigate, open the library of the New York Sanctum to me."

Strange frowned and said: "You are not planning to flip through those ancient books yourself, right? When do you have this patience?"

"When do I not have this patience?"

"You never have." Strange sneered, "You didn't do any investigation before, you only wove a big net to wait for this group of idiots to take the bait."

"I... have been very free recently, can't I?"

"Then help me fill out a few more medical reports." Strange pointed to the computer and said.

"At most fill out 20 more, please, I am not your intern, you can't always order me around like this."

"If you were my intern, I would hang myself on the shadowless lamp now, 30 copies. Everything has a price—welcome to the magic world."

Ten minutes later, Schiller came to the New York Sanctum with the key, only a few small mages were on duty here, and after seeing the key, they led Schiller to the library.

In order to facilitate the practice of mages, every Sanctum has established a library, but if the books are stored in different Sanctums, it will be very troublesome to find them.

Therefore, after Gu Yi became the Sorcerer Supreme, she used magic to make the libraries of all Sanctums projections of the Kamar-Taj Library, and the real bodies of all classics are stored in the depths of Kamar-Taj, while mages can look up their projections in the libraries of various Sanctums.

However, there is also a small problem, that is, the projection of the same book can only be read by one person at the same time, and books that have been taken out by others cannot be read.

But this generally doesn't affect anything, because the classics here are as vast as the sea, and basically no one will happen to read the same book, and those more commonly used magic books have copied many spare copies, and there are also many projections, so there will be no conflict.

After Strange became the Sorcerer Supreme, he set up a modern query system here, Schiller walked to the crystal ball in the middle of the library, entered the entries he wanted to query, such as "bull-headed monster", "mythology", "curse", "combination of technology and magic", etc., and soon many book lists jumped out.

Schiller clicked on the first one, ready to look at them one by one, but found that half of the books in the entry "Human Mythology Encyclopedia and Its Development History" were being read by someone, and couldn't be read at all.

Schiller clicked on the second one, "Earth's Past and Present Monster Popular Science Inventory", and found that this entry was even more outrageous, 70% of the books were being read by someone, and the remaining few looked marginal, telling about monsters in remote areas, with no useful information.

Schiller checked down like this, and found that about 60% of the books related to the keywords he searched were being read by someone.

If the system failure is excluded, then it is likely that someone is using the same way to query the same content, and it is not one or two people, but many people.

Schiller seemed to think of something, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

"Hello? Shang-Chi? How is your work recently?... I encountered some trouble here, can you help me go to the Hong Kong Sanctum to see..."

"What? Martial law? Why martial law? Alright, I know."

Hanging up the phone, Schiller began to think.

Xu Shang-Chi, because of his excellent physical fitness and bilingual level, was recruited by the engineering team of China building the Neptune Xinggang, and had been working on the Xinggang for a period of time, and was recently transferred back to Shenzhen, and was also responsible for the liaison work between the Neptune Xinggang and the ground recently.

According to him, the Hong Kong Sanctum announced martial law, it seems that a group of experts from the mainland are doing some research inside, which matches the situation that Schiller found that most of the books were being read by someone.

Then there is a possibility that the bull-headed monster also appeared in China, and now they are also investigating where this thing came from.

But what makes Schiller a bit puzzled is, if the bull-headed monster was made by Roxxon Corporation, why did they exert force toward China?

Roxxon Corporation's energy business covers the world, and it can even be said that it controls the economic lifeline of many countries, but this definitely does not include China, and there should be no intersection between the two.

The China in the Marvel Universe is much more powerful and harder to mess with than the one in Schiller's universe, the top of the Himalayas said to pass the empty rail, Kamar-Taj didn't dare to say anything, the Sorcerer Supreme had to talk about cooperation nicely, what kind of onion is Roxxon Corporation?

Suddenly, Schiller remembered a setting in the comics, Roxxon Corporation is actually an interstellar energy company, and has mining strongholds in Jupiter and Vanaheim and other dimensions of the Nine Realms.

Is there anyone who wants to develop Jupiter recently?
