Chapter 3433: Midnight Sons (43)
Schiller was focused on thinking and didn't continue to stare at Eddie, which made his efficiency soar. Not long after, Eddie processed the audio file Schiller needed.
Actually, Eddie didn't perform any misleading editing, because Dario's statement was already outrageous enough on its own. He just adjusted the voices of Schiller and Loki slightly to prevent them from being recognized.
After the work was completed, Schiller took the recording back to S. H. I. E. L. D. After Nick finished listening to the recording, he nodded with satisfaction and said: "Not bad, this should be enough to make him suffer."
Nick looked at Schiller, but didn't see the gloating expression Schiller usually had when watching the fun. Nick felt a bit strange, but by this time Schiller had already walked out of the office.
"What the hell." Nick shook his head, then immediately called Hill, handed her the file, and said: "Spread it on mainstream media platforms, require the best dissemination effect within 12 hours, and arrange for some people to control public opinion, must give Roxxon a fatal blow!"
Hill nodded and turned to go out to work.
After returning to his office, Schiller first helped Strange finish the medical records, busy for about an hour or so. When he opened his phone again, notifications from major platforms were pinging and ponging.
"Undercover exposure reveals shocking inside story, Roxxon Chairman Dario Agger claims Asgard has the obligation to take over Earth!"
"Earth spy? Agger is not stingy with his praise for Asgard and believes Earth should become its vassal. What do you think about this?"
"Agger's words shock the audience, is this related to the fire accident at the Roxxon Energy Industrial Building today? Click to watch our exclusive report!"
Schiller clicked on a notification at random; the news draft wasn't worth looking at, it was clearly from the group of professionals hired by S. H. I. E. L. D. The text was extremely inflammatory; anyone who didn't get red-faced after reading it was a tough guy.
The comment section below looked one-sided at first, with most people scolding Dario for having no backbone, being an alien spy, and so on.
However, Schiller keenly discovered that after about a dozen comments, the situation became a bit uncontrollable. Some people posted remarks sympathizing with Dario Agger, and below that were hundreds of arguments.
Some people said Dario's words also made some sense; at least Asgard's technology was good, and if they were willing to help, Earth would definitely develop faster.
Others felt this was Dario's own opinion, he could think whatever he wanted, and anyway, Earth wasn't something he could sell just because he wanted to, so there was no need for such a big reaction.
Of course, there were also people who linked his statement to the building fire, feeling that someone was deliberately trying to mess with Roxxon's stock price.
Schiller clicked on the chronological display of comments above the comment section, and it was even more unbearable. Many people felt this was an unfair competition method adopted by Roxxon's competitors, and some even blamed Stark Industries.
In their mouths, Dario Agger was the light of human civilization, a conscientious entrepreneur leading human technology toward progress, while Stark was the ugly capitalist.
Schiller felt this might be Dario waking up and activating Roxxon's emergency PR team, but the rhythm of this whitewashing was a bit too shameless.
Dario's scientific research level wasn't even as good as his, yet he had the nerve to claim to be the light of technology; this way of the water army washing the ground was too stiff.
Out of curiosity, Schiller clicked on the avatar of this user who spoke. As a result, he discovered that Dario was quite willing to spend money to praise himself. This water army user interface was fully equipped, all videos sharing his own life, and even showing his real face.
But continuing to look down, Schiller felt something was a bit wrong. The latest comments were one-sidedly sympathizing with Dario, scolding the undercover reporter and the arsonist of the shocking building, and every account looked very rich when clicked into, not looking like a water army at all.
"This is truly strange." Schiller thought.
Since ancient times, humanity has never stopped fantasizing about aliens, thus producing many famous literary works, and also a large group of alien research enthusiasts.
But whether it's enthusiasts interested in aliens or ordinary people who have only watched a few movies, the imagination of aliens isn't that beautiful, and the vast majority still agree with the alien invasion theory.
Marvel Earth is even more so. Because in the history of Marvel Earth, there is indeed a history of many alien invasions, which has led to a very poor impression of aliens among humans. Current mainstream literary works are also about resisting aliens.
People's acceptance of Asgard is relatively high, because Asgard can also be considered a civilization that went out from Earth, and their living habits and culture are similar to Earth's, and they can sit in the Nine Realms with powerful strength, protecting Earth, so the grassroots favorability is still acceptable.
However, this is built on the foundation that Thor's government is very tolerant, basically completely ignoring Earth, and not pointing fingers at any of Earth's affairs. Once they want to intervene in Earth's affairs, the public opinion will definitely have a 180-degree reversal.
This shows that the vast majority of Earthlings still have independent thinking and basically completely do not accept the possibility of aliens managing Earth.
Of course, where there is a majority, there is a minority; where there is an independent faction, there is naturally a surrender faction.
Ever since the interstellar exploration era began, there has always been a small group of people on the internet who trample on humans from all aspects, praising how advanced aliens are, acting more loyal than spies.
This type of person seems to view their loyalty as something of great value, feeling that even if they are not good at anything, in ordinary human society, they can't achieve any success, but as long as they are loyal enough, then after aliens rule Earth, they will definitely not use those excellent humans, but will separately give them a position above all others, enjoying endless wealth and glory.
But unfortunately, the world has never operated according to their thinking. They almost never have the chance to wait for such an opportunity, because it cannot be realized, the dream seems more beautiful, and it supports them in jumping around on the internet, looking for a sense of identity.
Although this group of people often makes some noise, after all, their numbers are small, and they haven't caused any bad consequences. Official agencies usually ignore them, and netizens alone can scold them bloody.
But this time the situation was a bit out of control. They used Dario Agger's remarks to make a fuss, and the core idea was a bit similar to "If a successful person like Agger says so, it must be reasonable."
Because they hadn't been recognized for too long, this time they finally had a famous person express a similar point of view, and they finally caught the opportunity, starting a carnival of comprador thought on the internet.
Schiller discovered that this was mixed with various praises for Dario, and each one was said as if it were true, as if they were hiding under the table of the Roxxon Energy Industrial Building laboratory, seeing Dario make a shocking technological breakthrough with their own eyes.
I don't know if they have ever seen it with their own eyes, anyway, Schiller has truly seen Stark do experiments with his own eyes, so of course, he knows that this group of people is taking Stark's life resume and achievements and forcing them onto Dario.
Stark entered the laboratory at 6, produced many advanced achievements before 10, obtained degrees from major global universities at 16, and later obtained master's and doctoral degrees until his hands were soft, with his photos always hung in the center of the alumni photo wall of major universities.
In their mouths, this became Dario's life resume. 7-year-old hand-rubbing nuclear fusion, 9-year-old self-developed spacecraft for manned moon landing, 12-year-old developed aircraft for Mars sampling, 16-year-old entered the sun's core and returned successfully.
Iron Man's resume alone isn't enough, so they sew in Captain America's experience. One person provided 60% of the weapons and equipment needed by the Allied forces, fought Hydra and killed Red Skull, added some of Nick's scraps, formed S. H. I. E. L. D. before 20, provided more than 80% of the funds for the UN Security Council every year, and so on.
Anyway, they blew Dario up to the sky and down to the ground, saying he was top-notch in every field and industry. Even if he hadn't been involved in some industries, the top people in those industries must have been inspired or funded by him.
Many people even seriously started voting to discuss who should become the Earth Lord after Asgard takes over Earth. Dario Agger passed with high votes, and fans were carnival-like across the internet.
Within just a few hours, it seemed that the matter of Asgard taking over Earth, and Dario Agger and Roxxon becoming agents, was already a done deal, and whoever dared to say no was an enemy of Earth.
Schiller had already roughly guessed what was going on, but he didn't rush to deal with it, let Nick have a headache first. With public opinion warfare reaching this point, he estimated he would be roaring in his office for several days again.
Schiller changed into his Moon Knight costume, took the written medical records, and first came to Strange's operating room.
When he arrived, Strange was performing surgery. Schiller waited on the balcony for a while, and when the surgery ended, he flashed Strange with moonlight, and Strange chased everyone else out.
Schiller walked over, put the medical report on the table, and said: "Did you hear the movement outside?"
"What?" Strange held a water bottle and drank water.
"Asgard is going to take over Earth, hiring Dario Agger of Roxxon as a manager, responsible for all management affairs on Earth from now on."
Strange didn't even lift his eyelids, put down the water bottle, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel himself, and said: "Which parallel universe did you go to again? Or did you start talking in your sleep in broad daylight?"
"You should click on your phone to check the news." Schiller said pointedly.
Strange frowned. He had a cleanliness habit in this regard and was unwilling to bring any electronic equipment into the operating room, so he called an intern to send his phone in.
As soon as he opened the phone screen, he saw various colorful news pushes from software. All the news revolved around one theme—"Dario Agger".
"Where did this guy pop out from?" Strange frowned, thinking for a long time before remembering that he seemed to have heard his colleagues mention this name, seemingly discussing the aerial factory plan.
He carefully looked at those news items, and learned roughly what was going on from Schiller's mouth, also realizing something was wrong.
He put down the phone, took off his gloves, walked to the window and grabbed at the void, and the cloak appeared in his hand. He turned back to Schiller and said: "You come back to the New York Sanctum with me, I suspect this matter isn't that simple."
