Chapter 402: Silence Is Niuyuezhou Tonight (Part 1)

~11 min read 2,071 words

Taking advantage of the period when Arkham Asylum was not accepting patients, Schiller applied for building repairs for the building used by the asylum. The reason it was repairs, rather than renovation or reconstruction, was because this building belonged to a historical and cultural protected building.

This old bank did have some years on it. Before Huaerjie became a prosperous economic center, this ambitious banker chose his base here.

After years of wind, frost, rain, and snow, the high-rise buildings of Huaerjie were piled up little by little in the morning and dusk. The flow of people and vehicles became more and more. When the Golden Age arrived, this old bank, like all buildings, radiated the luster of prosperity.

However, with the shift of the financial center and the gradual decline of Huaerjie, this old bank also became more and more old and dilapidated.

Schiller likes these things with a sense of age, but this doesn't mean he can accept that 9 out of 10 faucets here don't produce water, and the one that does is full of rust.

This repair was mainly aimed at the internal water and electricity supply systems, as well as the painting and protection of walls and floors. After the repairs ended, Schiller returned to his office. Nothing here had changed, but the core had already been different. For example, he could finally use light bulbs with higher power, and the washbasin in the small bathroom in the lounge could finally be used.

Besides that, many things were preserved, such as that old phone full of the style of the last century. In the gift pack of krypton dream coins, Schiller very generously gave Strange a discount, got the technology of "one phone connects to all worlds" from him, and also attached magic-version anti-tracking technology.

In the office at dusk, Schiller stood at the phone table at the door and said to the other end of the phone, "Yes, I am the doctor."

"You don't need to be polite with me. I guess you should be fiddling with a strange machine now, wanting to use it to track my mobile phone signal, but I want to tell you, you are wasting your effort."

"Don't use a silly smile to cover up your embarrassment at this time. Take a look at your other screen and tell me, what is displayed on it?"

A cold voice came from the opposite side: "Don't think that we can't find your address like this..."

"Wait until you find my address, then call me again."

After speaking, Schiller hung up the phone, but he still stood at the table without leaving. Two seconds later, the phone rang again.

"Hello, I am the doctor." Schiller's opening line remained unchanged. The person on the opposite side seemed to sigh slightly and said, "Doctor, I admit, you are a powerful guy. I didn't expect that old fox Pierce, who is more than enough to defend, would create an extremist careerist like you."

"This is the second funniest thing I've heard so far this year. Before calling me an extremist, can you change your German accent first?"

The person on the opposite side didn't seem to want to follow Schiller's train of thought. He didn't care about Schiller's highly guiding words, but changed the topic and said, "Doctor, do you know that your attacks on important figures in the same region have already caused dissatisfaction at headquarters?"

"So what?"

"Please stop your behavior immediately, go into silence, and wait for the investigators from headquarters."

"You are not qualified to investigate me." Schiller very decisively denied the proposal of the person on the opposite side and said, "I am just clearing out some incompetent parasites for the organization."

The tone of the person on the opposite side remained unchanged, seemingly not feeling angry because of Schiller's attitude, just saying without emotion, "If you find that they have any violations, you need to submit a report to headquarters. After getting approval, there will be specialized supervisory personnel to handle it..."

Schiller switched the phone to the other side and said, "Do you want to hear what violations they have first?"

"... What?"

Schiller put down the phone, turned around, took a document from the bookshelf, and said, "Evan Brown, former Congressman, important official of the Treasury Department, member of the Federal Reserve, section chief of the tax collection department of the IRS..."

"At the same time, he is also one of us, in charge of all financial matters of the Hydra Niuyuezhou region."

"Does he have any problems?"

"He is a KGB, and from the Soviet era."

The person on the opposite side was silent.

Schiller flipped another page and said, "Mabry Quito, I don't want to talk about his resume, but I don't quite understand, how dare you absorb someone who graduated from Trinity College, Cambridge?"

"Sophia Smith, had 25 medical records in Moscow."

"Hans Todd, went to St. Petersburg for vacation 12 times in one year."

"Dominic Johnson, raised a Siberian forest cat..."

"Wait." The person on the opposite side finally couldn't help it and said, "Does a forest cat count?"

"I saw in the supervisory manual that any clues related to left-leaning tendencies must be reported. The Niuyuezhou organization once reported 67 suspicious clues related to cats and dogs in one month in December 1977. Among them, the pets of 66 organization members were identified as having Russian lineage, and the investigation results showed that they were all dealt with."

The opposite side was silent again.

"You and I should both understand that this is just their means of internal strife. This excuse is very easy to use." The person on the opposite side seemed to have shown his cards too, saying, "I know you want to kill those who hinder your promotion, but this time you are a bit too much. Missing so many important personnel at once will cause the organizational structure to collapse."

"Then, has it collapsed?"

The person on the opposite side was silent again.

"This is the first funniest joke I've heard this year. I killed more than 30 important Hydra figures lurking in Niuyuezhou, and then, nothing happened."

"The operation of the organization was not affected in the slightest. On the contrary, after losing 67% of the manpower, the expenditure of the entire Niuyuezhou was reduced by more than 40%, and the work efficiency was doubled."

bidige.

The person on the opposite side hadn't spoken since the last silence. Finally, Schiller said, "I guess you called me, and it shouldn't have been approved by headquarters either."

"But just like you said, you and I both know clearly who is dragging Hydra down now. Those people who came from the last century still hold on to their rigid rules, but the times have changed long ago."

"They say to the new generation, 'You are doing this wrong', 'Doing that is also wrong', 'You must follow our way', but the fact is, no matter in which period of history, they have never succeeded."

"Their proudest achievement is killing Captain America, the representative of the American spirit, but you should have received the news now that Captain America is still alive. Not only that, there are also Spider-Man and Iron Man, and they even formed a hero team, making us jump around."

"What do you want?" The person on the opposite side asked.

"If you are in Germany, then take care of your own business there, don't come to manage me."

"Do you know Madame Hydra?" The person on the opposite side asked suddenly. Schiller was silent for a while and said, "Of course I know."

"You touched her interests, she should be coming to find trouble with you soon."

The tone on the opposite side became serious: "I don't know if you have come into contact with this aspect, but I want to tell you that Madame Hydra possesses power beyond ordinary people, not the physical power of Captain America, but a more mysterious magical power."

"Some people say that she signed a contract with a certain devil, so she possesses the ability of immortality. The most terrible thing is that she can poison."

"You'd better not think that we can't find you, so she can't hurt you. I advise you to be cautious."

"You don't have to beat around the bush with me." Schiller interrupted him and said, "At first, you wanted to find out my address, because if you knew where I was, you could sell me to Madame Hydra and exchange it for a considerable reward from her."

"But you found that you couldn't find me, so you felt that in the confrontation between me and Madame Hydra, I have the possibility of winning. You chose to bet on both sides, both pleasing her and appeasing me."

"If I'm not mistaken, you have another phone by your hand, it should be on your left hand, or above your left hand, and the number has already been dialed, just waiting to be dialed. Once the screen in front of you shows my address, you will immediately dial that phone and tell the person on the opposite side this string of addresses."

Schiller suddenly changed the topic and said, "Do you like Siberian forest cats?"

The opposite side was silent for dozens of seconds before answering: "No."

"I quite like them. I think they are very cute. If necessary, I can go talk to someone who has similar hobbies to me."

After speaking, Schiller hung up the phone, but he still didn't leave. After a while, the phone rang again. The person on the opposite side finally couldn't hold back that calm and composed tone and said, "I advise you better not do that. You are harming others and not benefiting yourself. Do you think they will let you go?"

"Then will Madame Hydra let me go?"

The opposite side didn't know how many times he had been silent, but the questions Schiller threw out always made him feel unable to answer. He took a deep breath and then said, "I will go talk to Ophelia..."

Schiller said calmly, "You can't talk to her, because she won't pay attention to you at all. You are just a humble and pitiful beggar who wants to beg for food from her."

"You can't give me any advice, nor are you qualified to advise me. The outcome between us has nothing to do with you. No matter who wins, you are the one who will be annexed."

"What you need to do now is put down the phone, turn off the screen, give up those unreachable ambitions and thoughts hovering in your brain, hide back into the dark and narrow nest, and wait for death."

After speaking, Schiller hung up the phone and walked back to the table. After a while, he took out his mobile phone and called the Sanctum Sanctorum. The operator on the other side said very politely, "Respected guest Mr. Rodriguez, do you want me to transfer you to the Sorcerer Supreme?"

"No need. I hope you can help me investigate a Hungarian woman. Her name is Ophelia, her code name is Madame Hydra, also known as Viper. Who is her contractor? Can she be contacted now?"

"Can you provide some basic information about her? Finding a demon god from a contractor is a bit difficult. You might need to wait a while."

"It should be a demon god related to destruction, ruin, and darkness. In addition, she is immortal and good at poisoning."

"Please wait a moment."

After a pleasant waiting sound, the operator on the opposite side opened his mouth and said, "Hello, it has been found. The one she contracted should be our newly contacted client, the Great Demon Shadow Chthon."

"You also signed Chthon?"

"Just had a preliminary cooperation intention. Specific matters are communicated by Scarlet Witch Wanda."

"Where is she now?"

"Andromeda Galaxy Sky Island, expected to return in a week."

"Help me contact her, I have a business to talk about."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

After another waiting sound, a pleasant female voice sounded on the opposite side: "Hello, I am Wanda."

Schiller said to the other end of the phone, "Hello Miss Wanda, I am Schiller Rodriguez, and also the general person in charge of the Hydra Niuyuezhou region."

"I have a business to talk to you about." ===== CHAPTER 403 =====
