The moment he saw his face, Constantine's pupils shrank. The other party didn't seem to see him, holding his hat in one hand, walking down the steps with light steps, looking at the white-bearded old man in front and asking: "Are you the Collector?"

"Yes... yes." Although he saw that the visitor was just an ordinary human, logically speaking, ordinary humans couldn't appear here, so his tone had no bottom at all.

"Then you must be Constantine?" The man turned to look at Constantine again.

Constantine didn't move, neither nodding nor answering.

Then he saw the man take out a document from his pocket and hand it to the Collector, then said: "Mr. Thanos, the Chief Administrator of the Interstellar Security Committee, sends his regards. Regarding this shocking robbery of collections, Mr. Thanos wants to know more details from you. I wonder if it's convenient for you to go with me?"

"Thanos? You mean that Titan? He..." The Collector stopped talking.

"Didn't expect you to be a racist. However, he has no malice, and really just wants to know more details about this case from you. The Security Committee also has no mandatory measures. If it's not convenient now, you can go over anytime later."

After speaking, the other party took out a business card and handed it to the Collector. The Collector touched the emblem of the Interstellar Council on it and then said: "Alright, I really have to go and talk about it properly. I didn't offend them, why did they have to come and rob my treasures?"

After speaking, he left along a vortex portal. Only two people were left in the room.

"Batman asked me to tell you, don't chase Doctor Strange anymore, he's probably already crazy. Now hurry back, waiting for you to have a meeting."

Constantine narrowed his eyes and looked at him, especially staring at his face. He had some doubts in his heart, but more vigilance. Can a person who uses the same face as the Lord of Hell be a good person?

Constantine nodded and made a turning movement. But the next second, a blood-colored light circle suddenly lit up under his feet, and three long nails shot toward the other party.

But this man just took a step back, moved without changing his expression, and sighed in his heart. None of the tasks Batman gave were simple; this guy was obviously crazy too.

The person who came was the Agent. After Batman learned that Doctor Strange had gone to the universe to go crazy, he asked the Agent to investigate this matter.

However, Schiller always pays attention to having a famous teacher for his name. Investigation can be investigated, but if he just went to investigate, wouldn't it be the same as Doctor Strange running around?

So, he first went to the Time Variance Authority. When working at the Time Variance Authority before, Schiller had checked the information of this organization. Later, Batman pulled Thanos in, and also revealed the information of this organization. In general, it is actually equivalent to the Interstellar Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Schiller met the famous Thanos in the office of the Chief Administrator. However, unexpectedly, the other party looked gentle and refined, not like a big demon who destroys the universe. After hearing Schiller's intention, his attitude was also very gentle; not only did he give Schiller the permission and documents of an investigative agent, but he also equipped him with a set of field agent equipment.

Although he knew that Thanos doing this was just showing favor to Batman, Schiller still felt that this Thanos was more in line with the image of the cosmic overlord in his heart than the one in the main universe.

He also checked Thanos's information at the Time Variance Authority. This guy was called ominous as soon as he was born, and it seems he wiped out all his clansmen; anyway, his reputation is not very good. But even so, he can still sit in a high position in the interstellar society, and his strength should not be underestimated. This kind of person is much harder to deal with than a reckless man who dances with knives and guns.

Just like the current Marvel superheroes, even if they already know that Batman brought Thanos's Dark Quadrant back, and Thanos has many small actions, his ambition is obvious, but they still have no good way. After all, people didn't take action, and they are high-ranking officials of the Interstellar Alliance, and their subordinates are real-power departments. In the case of not being able to grasp the lifeline, they cannot easily tear their faces off.

Thanos equipped Schiller with a small spaceship specially equipped by the Security Committee, a Skrull Empire standard laser pistol, a high-energy laser cannon, a multi-functional portable goggles, standard cosmic life-support equipment, a multi-functional shield generator, and even gave him quite a lot of general currency.

Schiller drove the small spaceship with the Security Committee's paint, went all the way unimpeded to Cygnus, and then relied on the portable shield to break through the high-temperature blockade and arrived at the Collector's museum.

Although the superheroes fought back and forth, and the two major empires were also pressing on the border, the universe is very large, and most areas are still very quiet. In the case that order has not collapsed, a police uniform is still very useful. All the teleportation stations and checkpoints Schiller encountered treated him with courtesy. This also proves from the side that Thanos is indeed doing a good job as the director of the Interstellar Federal Bureau of Investigation.

As for persuading Constantine to go back, it wasn't a task given by Batman, purely because Schiller didn't want him to follow and mess around. Although this guy looks a bit different from the ordinary Constantine, after all, they are all Constantines; can they be any better?

"I suggest you think clearly, Mr. Constantine. Attacking the police is not a good habit." Schiller shook his head and looked at Constantine.

"I have nothing to say to the devil."

As soon as Constantine finished speaking, he took the holy gun that sprayed fire from the box. The moment the muzzle aimed at Schiller, Schiller sneered, pulled out his gun quickly in the next second, dodged the first shot while rolling, and a laser shot toward Constantine's chest.

Constantine hard-carried the first shot with his shield, also rolled to the back of the collapsed bookshelf, and fired another shot at the ground in front of Schiller, but ignited the paper that fell on the ground. The fire rose, and Schiller cut the cover Constantine was in with another laser, followed by two shots, forcing the other party into the corner.

Constantine touched the ground with his hand, and blood surged instantly. He took a deep breath, and countless monsters jumped up from the blood pool.

Schiller, hiding behind the cover, narrowed his eyes. He put away his pistol, took out his cannon, and scattered a monster with one shot, and then another shot, directly breaking the rope of the chandelier on his head. With a "clatter," the huge chandelier fell down, just hitting Constantine's side.

Constantine dodged with a pounce, followed by two more long nails thrown out. Schiller dodged again, adjusted the cannon to charging mode, and the light of the muzzle became brighter and brighter.

Constantine, hiding behind his back, took a deep breath. Mephisto ate the last bottle of medicine he had; without the power of demon flesh, he couldn't summon more blood monsters.

His chest began to ache faintly again, but he still tightened his face and said: "Not coming out because you don't want to play self-directed and self-acted?"

With a "boom," the cannonball was fired. The expected severe pain didn't come; a figure stood in front of Constantine.

All bookshelves and sundries were blown away, only that figure stood in place. The finely tailored suit was not dirty at all, and even the double horns on his head were still shining with bright light.

Schiller turned his head and was stunned to see such a look.

He carried the cannon and walked out from the cover.

"You..."

Schiller didn't know what to say for a moment. He opened his mouth and closed it, then opened his mouth again, but hesitated, and still didn't say anything.

"So it was you who made the trouble." After a while, he said, "I said, why did Doctor Strange suddenly go crazy, and why did Batman suddenly call me and ask me to pay attention to Constantine. Do you think this is very interesting?"

"Mephisto" stepped forward two steps, smiled and nodded at Schiller: "Of course it's interesting. Why not?"

Schiller aimed his cannon at his chest, and the charging light lit up. The other party didn't move, reached out and snapped his fingers, and the light went out instantly.

"You know these things are useless to me." He said.

Schiller also stepped forward with the cannon, the distance between the two was already very close, almost face to face.

"Yes, I know. 'The devil calls you a devil', hmm?"

The moment "Mephisto" nodded and smiled, Schiller swung the cannon directly.

"Bang!"

Constantine, who poked his head out from behind the cabinet, was stunned. What's going on? I hit myself?!

"Mephisto" turned into a group of pitch-black ashes, drifting in the empty room, spiraling all the way up until disappearing into the equally dark dome, leaving only the sound drifting.

"Your only destination is hell. Come... come..."

Constantine climbed up from behind the cover, and then suddenly saw that there seemed to be some shining fragments on the ground. He immediately rushed up to pick them up, and found that it was actually half a broken horn.

Constantine immediately put this thing into the box, and looked up to find Schiller looking at him with a very strange look.

"Don't look at me with that look." Constantine pulled his tie and raised his head slightly, saying, "I haven't asked you what's going on yet. Why do you look exactly like him?"

"We are one person, of course we look the same." Schiller rolled his eyes and said. He walked toward the gate and went out, Constantine chased after him.

"What do you mean by 'we are one person'? Is he your master? Or previous life? Contractor?"

"He is my creator." Schiller pushed open the gate and walked out, turned the corridor, and arrived at the elevator door.

Constantine nodded and said: "Understood, still the agent set, right? Are you going to find Doctor Strange? It just so happens that I'm going too, give me a ride, how about it?"

The two got into the elevator together, Schiller tilted his head and sized up Constantine. This guy is different from the ordinary Constantine; he doesn't avoid magic so much, and more importantly, he can use guns, and his marksmanship is quite good.

"As you wish." Schiller said.

Constantine pursed his lips and smiled, seeing the police spaceship with very serious paint that Schiller parked on the surface.

"Space police? A bit interesting."

Schiller walked into the cockpit, took off his coat, put the equipment aside, and then said: "If this is your first time taking a spaceship, then go sit in the seat, fasten your seat belt, bring your headphones, and you'll be at your destination soon."

Constantine also took off his windbreaker coat, threw it aside, sat in the chair, fastened his seat belt, turned his head back and asked: "Do you know where he is?"

"Didn't know originally, but I can probably guess after seeing that guy." Schiller lowered his head and debugged the navigation system. The instrument system displayed the name of the destination—"Sakaar".
