Chapter 3423: Midnight Sons (Part 33)

Shiler stood at the entrance of the clinic, watching Wanda's angry back as she left. When he turned around, Loki happened to roll his eyes at him. Loki fiddled with the cup in his hand and said, "When you're a psychologist, you fool everyone into not being a superhero, and when you're a superhero, you fool everyone into being a superhero. Is this your career plan?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm just planning to do something a superhero should do."

"What?"

"Night visit to Roxxon."

In the New York night, the city lights are much brighter than the moonlight. The lights of Manhattan reveal a unique coldness and arrogance, embodying the unapproachable indifference of this city to the fullest.

All large companies have to have a building of their own here, not because they like the traffic and scenery of Manhattan, but just to prove that they have a place in the world. Roxxon Energy Limited is no exception.

If Stark Group Tower is the undisputed representative of Manhattan's blue sky and white clouds skyline, then Roxxon Energy Industrial Tower is an indispensable part of Manhattan's night view.

The top 30 floors of the Roxxon Energy Industrial Tower float above the sky. This is an absolute no-fly zone; no aircraft can approach this aerial fortress, and even Nick's Helicarrier would never let its flight path pass through here.

This is Dario Agger's kingdom. Approaching the limit of the sky is just to tell ordinary people on the ground that the king's authority is unquestionable.

However, no matter how high the kingdom's fortress is, it cannot be higher than the moon hanging in the sky. A beam of moonlight fell silently on the top of the aerial fortress, without causing any reaction from the energy monitoring equipment, and the cameras couldn't capture anything either.

Without encountering any obstruction, Shiler passed through the glass with the help of the moonlight and arrived inside the Roxxon Energy Industrial Tower. But this was just the beginning, because even in an aerial fortress, most of the offices were for ordinary employees. The true core area must be Dario Agger's office.

Shiler didn't know where his office was, nor did he trust his luck, so he chose the dumbest but most effective method—carpet search.

Shiler didn't take the elevator, but searched directly from the bottom floor, and after searching one floor, went upstairs along the stairs to search the next floor.

Dario Agger must be in the fortress now, but Shiler wasn't worried about being discovered. He had invited a foreign aid with enough weight this time; no one could stop him from unraveling the secrets of Roxxon Corporation.

Loki was right. When he wasn't a superhero, no one could just be a superhero. And since he had come to be a superhero, everyone had better know how to be a superhero.

Shiler strolled quietly in the corridor, but to the monitoring equipment, it was just a beam of moonlight passing through the window. The security equipment was as quiet as if it had never existed.

One room after another, one floor after another. When Shiler arrived at the 16th floor of the aerial fortress, he heard some movement.

Standing in the center of the corridor, Shiler heard something approaching him rapidly, but Shiler didn't move, because he knew that no matter what it was, it couldn't attack a beam of light.

"Someone's coming." Khonshu leaned against one side of the wall and said.

"Didn't you say it wouldn't be detected?"

"They couldn't possibly detect the existence of moonlight. However, they might detect your existence."

"What do you mean?"

"Human thinking has a sound."

As soon as Khonshu finished speaking, Shiler saw a tall figure appear in the corridor. At the same time, Shiler began to hear some noise, somewhat similar to the noise generated when radio signals are interfered with.

As the person walked closer, Shiler saw clearly that it was a tall woman with long white hair. To be precise, there were no obvious gender characteristics, just dressed somewhat like a woman.

The noise in his ears turned into a sharp buzzing.

The white-haired human in front of Shiler suddenly turned into a huge white-furred monster, slowly moving its heavy steps toward this side. But this image only flashed for a moment, like a fleeting hallucination.

Shiler knew this wasn't a hallucination, or rather, all his hallucinations were just pointing to the truth in another way.

"Samu." Shiler called her name directly.

He rarely used the information advantage of a traveler to directly expose someone's identity, but this time was different, because the monster in front of him was very special. To gain an advantage, he needed to change tracks and seize the opportunity.

"Who are you? Why do you know my name?"

"I come with the moonlight. Your sins make the feather on the scale float, so I have come."

The other party sneered and said: "Just a superhero hiding his head and showing his tail, and you want to judge me?"

"You are just an interstellar fugitive hiding here and there." Shiler not only didn't retreat, but took a step forward, his staff tapping lightly on the ground, saying, "Earth is not a place you should come to; you must leave immediately."

"Playing god and playing ghost."

As soon as the words fell, Shiler heard the sharp buzzing again, as if a needle had flown rapidly from his right ear to his left ear.

"Your power is indeed unique, but it is not completely unaffected by me. How much longer do you think you can hold on?" Samu sneered.

"He is right," Khonshu said, "He is attacking your spirit. Moonlight power cannot fully protect you. However, I can take you away. Do you want to leave?"

Shiler shook his head and said, "It would be more troublesome if he came up and punched me directly. You also said, I'm not that good at fighting. But mental attack..."

"My meaning is, if he breaks through my defense and affects you, are you sure you won't go crazy here? At that time, I won't have extra power to stop you."

"Don't worry, I have foreign aid."

"I'm even more worried," Khonshu said truthfully, "I must remind you that there are still ordinary people in the building now, although the number is not large, but once this place falls, they will definitely not survive."

"Then withdraw your protection and save some power for later."

"You don't have to put suicide so euphemistically."

"I'm not going to commit suicide..."

"I'm talking about me."

"Can you feel that I'm a bit impatient?"

"If you must do this, fine."

The moment Khonshu withdrew the protection, Shiler only heard a loud noise, like a bomb exploding in his ears. That kind of sound wave, which rushed into the brain after the eardrum was shattered, was like a giant fist made of sea waves, trampling over his brain.

Even though Shiler had seen countless psychic ability users, it was indeed the first time he had experienced such a violent mental intrusion method. It was as if she wasn't invading the spirit, but directly pinching the brain with some power. Perhaps she was indeed doing just that. Modifying the brain waves of ordinary people is the best way to brainwash.

Shiler let go of the defense and felt his brain go blank. Something was being written in, but the text appearing in his mind stayed for a very short time and soon sank deeper.

This was clearly to make the hypnotized person unaware that they were being hypnotized. These written command programs would lurk in the deepest part of their consciousness, affecting their actions in a calm way.

Almost no one can control their subconscious, and not many people can look inside their own spiritual world. These implanted programs are hard to be discovered, but Shiler is obviously an exception.

It is estimated that all the other Shilers in the high tower are curious why shit suddenly fell from the sky. Shiler even had time to think, but screw it, it's not him shoveling the shit anyway.

Facts proved that the speed of the other Shilers shoveling shit was indeed very fast. The program command dissolved before it even landed. Of course, it is also possible that Jormungandr had a big appetite; after all, modifying brain waves requires energy, although not much, but even a mosquito's leg is meat.

I don't know if the other side was careless, or if this operation had no verification program. Samu finished writing the commands that should be written, exited the operating system directly, and said to Shiler: "Follow me."

Shiler followed behind her.

The tall white-haired woman led Shiler into the elevator. She seemed to think that the hypnotic control had succeeded and had no precautions. Just from the hallucination for a moment earlier, it could be seen that she was not human. Her main body also had a certain combat power, so Shiler didn't act rashly.

But the main reason was that he was looking forward to this guy taking him directly to Dario Agger, so he wouldn't have to search, let alone find the damn door card, keys, and flashlight batteries.

The elevator went all the way up to the top floor. Samu's footsteps echoed in the empty corridor. She first walked into a circular hall, then turned right, and finally arrived in front of a semi-transparent automatic door.

Shiler saw Dario Agger's figure there.

And Samu didn't even make him hand over his weapon. He just held that huge long staff and swaggered into Dario's office.

Shiler even started to suspect whether this white-furred monster wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone.

Dario turned his head and was startled the moment he saw Shiler. But Samu walked over with a smile and said: "Surprise."

"Indeed a surprise," Khonshu stood by the wall again and said, "I just went back to the high tower; they are doing a big cleaning and are all scolding you. You'd better not go back recently."

"It's okay, the system update counts as a merit. If I don't use the merit quickly, they will forget it again." Shiler didn't care.

After listening to Samu's introduction, Dario showed a smug smile. He walked toward Shiler and said: "It seems you are quite impatient, Doctor. I didn't expect us to meet again so soon."

Shiler stood in place without moving. After a while, a voice unfamiliar to Samu came from Shiler's mouth: "I am not a doctor; you probably found the wrong person."

This voice was very gentle, with no joy or anger, but when it echoed in the empty office room, it had a kind of hollow, weird, inorganic quality that transcended intelligent life.

Samu instinctively took two steps back, but Dario didn't care at all. He walked up and was about to pull Shiler's hood, but the next second, he suddenly found himself sitting in a chair. Samu sat opposite him, and the mysterious man in the silver cloak stood between the two of them.

"I think you might have some misunderstandings. We can talk," the voice continued, "Who will start first?... Just the gentleman on the right."

Dario wanted to speak, but when he opened his mouth, what he said was not what he wanted to say at all.

"My name is Dario Agger, born into the Agger family in Greece. When I was 9 years old, my relatives were killed by pirates. I escaped alone and prayed in a nearby cave. A minotaur statue responded to me, saying I was Minotaur..."

Samu immediately followed and said: "I am Samu, from the planet Shem, once the ruler of Shem, later imprisoned in an interstellar prison for crimes of slaughter and genocide. I escaped from there and landed in North Carolina, Earth..."

"Then let me introduce myself," the voice said, "Charles Xavier, people often call me Professor X. I am currently at the Andromeda Galaxy Communication Center, bringing you the voice from the depths of the universe."
