Loki was a bit confused by the speed of Shiler's topic change, he said: "What? What skull?"

"Laufey's skull, do you know where it is?"

Loki's mouth opened and closed, then stared at Shiler speechlessly and said: "Is it really okay for you to ask like this?"

"Could it be that you still have feelings for him?"

"I mean, if Laufey didn't die, Odin couldn't have adopted me. When he adopted me, Laufey was already dead. Then how would I know where Laufey's skull is?"

"You didn't investigate it later?"

"The skull doesn't belong to the inheritance, why would I investigate it?"

Then Loki thought for a while and said: "But since the All-Father defeated Laufey, the skull should also be thrown into the warehouse by him, right? Why are you asking this?"

"Are you sure there is one in Asgard's warehouse?"

Being asked by Shiler, Loki was really unsure. He took out his phone and sent a few messages, should be commanding his subordinates to check the warehouse.

Only a few minutes later, Loki looked at the information on the screen and frowned, then looked at Shiler and said: "Do you know something?"

"That thing is not in the warehouse, right? Or rather, there is no record of it entering the warehouse at all. Odin didn't take the skull away at all back then, but let it drift to Earth, and finally, it was offered to the Dark Elves by Roxxon."

Loki originally wanted to say something, but suddenly showed an embarrassed expression, hesitated and said: "The All-Father might not have done it on purpose..."

"Of course, because at that time you only regarded Midgard as a trash can and a place of exile."

"That's all in the past." Loki hurriedly changed the subject, she said, "But the skull of the King of Frost Giants is not so easy to preserve. You humans might be frozen into ice cubes if you touch it lightly."

"Yes, so this explains one thing. That is, Roxxon is indeed not a company led entirely by humans. The person who picked up the skull back then was not a human, and the person who handed this skull to the Dark Elves was not a human either."

Loki immediately said with a tacit understanding: "Then no matter what kind of deal the Dark Elves think they have reached with a certain force of humans, it doesn't count. Because an organization led by non-humans simply cannot represent humans."

"Exactly so," Shiler nodded.

Shiler wanted to continue saying something, but suddenly stopped his words. Loki looked at him with some doubt, Shiler cleared his throat and said: "I am a superhero now, I want to solve problems in a superhero way."

"Uh, what is the superhero way?"

"Of course, it's to catch the mastermind behind Roxxon, beat him up, and throw him into some prison."

"Good idea. Then do you know where he is?"

"I don't know, but I know where the vital parts of their company are. As long as I attack there, I'm not afraid he won't appear."

"Are you really determined to do this?" Loki frowned slightly and said, "Although I don't really approve of your previous style of dragging everyone into the water. However, this kind of reckless way of doing things is not necessarily a better choice."

"How do you know if you don't try?"

"Fine. This sentence is very 'superhero'. Remember not to care too much about door cards next time."

After speaking, Loki disappeared into a magical radiance. And Shiler had already arrived in front of the window on the second floor, jumped down from here, neatly knocked unconscious the bull-headed monster patrolling behind, froze his state with moonlight, and sent him into Khonshu's God Kingdom.

Solving the remaining few bull-headed monsters in the same way, the Dark Elves in the temple basically all rested. Just at this time, Stark's voice came from Shiler's headset: "We have collected evidence, how about you?"

Shiler walked into the lobby on the first floor, looking at the Dark Elves who had fallen here and said: "Basically all solved."

"Good, then you make some noise at the headquarters, so it's convenient for us to escape."

"Noise? I'm afraid it's hard to have any noise." Shiler squatted down to check the state of one of the Dark Elves, by human standards, it was shock caused by severe allergies. If no rescue measures were taken within five minutes, it should be a dead elf.

Stark's tone changed significantly, he said: "What did you do?"

Just at this time, a chaotic sound suddenly came from the other end of the headset, it seemed that the pursuers had arrived. Stark had no time to explain in detail and started a battle with the enemy.

At this time, Jarvis's voice appeared in the headset, he said: "Doctor, Wanda said she is going to take the three adopted kittens for vaccinations this afternoon. Didn't you also adopt one? Should we send it together?"

"I was just about to tell you about this. I sent the kitten to the pet hospital, but it refused to get vaccinated no matter what. Perhaps it will be better with Wanda. Where should I send it to you?"

"Just at the corner of the road east of the Central Station, there is a graffiti cafe there, wait for us under the road sign."

"Are you going to the pet hospital in Manhattan?"

"That's right. Wanda said the pet hospital there is better at treating low-age small animals. We are preparing to go there... sorry, sir, I forgot to turn off the communication channel. You speak, I'm listening."

Not long after, Stark and Peter flew over. Looking at the temple that still stood on the earth, both of them didn't know why they breathed a sigh of relief.

"I was really afraid that there would be nothing but ruins when I came over," Peter said.

"You should be glad that Io is still there," Stark said while flying.

The two saw Shiler on the balcony on the second floor, so they both flew over and stopped. Shiler looked up and asked: "How is it?"

"Of course, and there are unexpected gains. Let's talk about it in detail when we return to the stronghold. But you here..."

Shiler said: "I cut off the energy hub."

Stark and Peter looked at each other, they both knew that Dark Elves were allergic to solar radiation, the Dark Elves at the bottom had no means to prevent radiation themselves, once they lost the protection of the life-support system, they must be dead.

"What about the bull-headed monsters?" Peter asked with some concern, "We found that these people can be transformed back, we saved two people, temporarily put them in the life-support pod, and will go to get them later."

"In my God Kingdom."

Stark imitated Shiler's tone with an exaggerated expression in the mecha, and Jarvis said: "Do you want me to reconnect you to Moon Knight's communication channel?"

"Better not," Stark said immediately.

The three of them flew toward Europa together. This is a frozen planet, the temperature is very low, and the surface is all ice. Shiler saw a huge building from afar—this must be a masterpiece of humans, completely different from the style of the previous temple.

A honeycomb-type building with a postmodern style, the whole presents a gray-blue color, blending with the surface, looking very inconspicuous at high altitude, and only after getting closer can one see the complex structure inside.

"How did you find the portal?" Shiler asked.

"The defense here is very tight, the building materials used can isolate energy detection, it should be to avoid being scanned for abnormal energy reactions from high altitude. But precisely because the protection is too tight, it revealed flaws."

"I controlled these few mecha to attack from four directions, and people ran out to respond immediately, but there was one direction that reacted slowly. So I deduced that the energy reaction isolation in this direction should be particularly serious, otherwise, they wouldn't have reacted after the robot fired several shots. After discovering it, it was also clearly that they went through more security links than others before running out."

"We two sneaked in while it was chaotic outside, broke through the security blockade all the way, and sure enough found the portal at the end of the channel directly opposite this gate."

When Stark talked about his breakthrough process, Shiler listened quietly. Although he really didn't want to admit it, in terms of being a superhero, Iron Man is indeed a leader.

He is very flexible in the application of mecha, not just as a means of attack or defense, but to fight with a quite scientific way of thinking, proposing problems, thinking about problems, and then solving problems.

For example, he found that such a large building, but the suit couldn't scan any abnormal energy reaction, he naturally proposed a problem, that is, why the other party wanted to do this, and then thought about the answer, that is, it was to cover the energy reaction of the portal, preventing it from being discovered by passing spaceships.

Then he proposed another problem, that is, in the case of not being able to detect the direction of energy reaction, how to find the portal, and the answer thought out is to use the other party's energy cover in reverse, the more strictly it is covered, the more likely it is the direction where the portal is located.

"How did you break through the security blockade?" Shiler asked again.

"I found that the signs in the text are English, and felt that they might be using human software systems, so I found an interface, hacked into their internal network, and unlocked everything that could be unlocked," Peter said.

"A part of the physical defense couldn't be unlocked, so I used directional blasting to blow it open. Fortunately, they didn't have many people, Iron Man used drones to delay their pace, I took the opportunity to set up bombs, the breakthrough was very successful, it's just that I encountered a little trouble when coming back."

"What trouble?"

"They transferred the guards to the door of the room where the portal was located, blocked us, and several of them turned into bull-headed monsters. The room space was a bit small, we couldn't unfold there, and almost got hit."

Shiler knew that this should be the source of the chaos he heard in the headset before. The bull-headed monsters rushed into the room where they were, forcing them back into the corner.

Before Shiler could continue to ask, Peter said: "However, I found that although this group of monsters is powerful, they have no intelligence, and they are particularly irritable, just tease them a little, and they will run with me."

"So I deliberately led them to rush into the crowd, those guards were afraid of being trampled to death, ran out in a panic, after it got chaotic, no one could take care of anyone, so we took the opportunity to slip away."

Shiler found that Peter's thinking was about the same as Stark's, both were encountering problems and solving problems, this is clearly a very normal logical thinking.

And Shiler's thinking is not like this, to be precise, he has such thinking, but it is not commonly used.

After he encounters a problem, the first thing he thinks about is not how to solve this problem, but thinking, since this problem already exists, then what other problems will there be.

Stark and Peter are thinking deeply in a straight line, this line is finished thinking and then change to another line, solving problems one by one, most normal people are like this.

Shiler is directly starting to diverge, thinking of another problem from one problem, and then thinking of more problems from another problem, each problem is a different point.

Immediately afterward, he starts to think deeply about these problems at the same time, weaving these points into different lines.

In the process of thinking, he will try to optimize the thread, for example, solving a problem directly might be simple and effective, but if another method can also partially solve another problem at the same time, then Shiler will adopt the latter method.

Among the many links of many problems, find the nodes that intersect with each other, then find an optimal solution that can take care of multiple aspects for these nodes, and then use the order that can balance the outbreak time of these problems to execute the optimal solution, and finally solve all problems at once.
