Chapter 501: Who Made the Moon God Want to Kill? (Part 2)

"The word 'inaction' isn't very accurate," Schiller replied.

He opened his mouth slightly, a hesitant expression appearing on his face, as if he didn't know how to phrase it. He said, "I know you want me to provide some evidence so you can pin the blame for this matter on S. H. I. E. L. D."

"After all, Russian spies fall within your scope of work, while Hydra falls within S. H. I. E. L. D.'s. When the KGB successfully used Hydra to climb the ranks and exposed all of this to mock you, both sides wanted to accuse the other of incompetence."

Marc narrowed his eyes and asked, "So, Nick Fury did indeed..."

Schiller first shook his head, then nodded, then shook his head again, and finally said nothing at all.

Afterward, no matter how much Marc questioned him, Schiller remained silent. Marc understood that he had likely hit upon the key.

Consequently, he became even more desperate for an answer, beginning to repeat his questions or search for other opportunities to make Schiller speak.

Schiller remained silent for a time, until he had almost exhausted Marc's patience. He finally spoke again: "Aren't you a CIA investigator? Interrogation shouldn't be your job. Why are you entangled with me here?"

Marc crossed his arms, standing before Schiller, seemingly hesitating whether to answer this question.

During an interrogation, blind refusal and coercion are not entirely beneficial; appropriate compliance and answers help induce the interrogated to speak. Therefore, agents often use answers to unimportant questions to prompt the interrogated to speak more, until they leak their own intelligence.

"I was originally a field agent, but due to S. H. I. E. L. D.'s operational error, the United States' international reputation was damaged, and the CIA has been under great pressure because of it. So, I was ordered to investigate this matter with full effort."

Before Marc said these words, he confirmed that he hadn't revealed any important information, but Schiller had obtained the intelligence he wanted from it.

Marc Spector, a CIA agent, and also the Marvel superhero Moon Knight.

In the comic plot, after Marc left the CIA, he became a mercenary and was killed while on a mission to Egypt. Afterward, he was resurrected by the Moon God Khonshu, becoming the Moon God's agent on Earth, the so-called Moon Knight.

This superhero's backstory leans more toward the mystical, but what's more interesting is his other persona: he is a patient with Dissociative Identity Disorder, also known as multiple personality disorder.

In the comics, he possesses three personalities: mercenary, millionaire, and taxi driver. In the TV adaptation, these changed to mercenary, a timid museum employee, and an unidentified third personality, and this third personality's name is also Jake.

Currently, Marc's mental state seems stable. Although Schiller used many methods to provoke his extreme emotions, he did not lose control because of it, and the so-called Moon God Khonshu was nowhere to be seen.

If following the comic timeline, Marc, who has not yet resigned from the CIA, should not have gone to Egypt to execute the mercenary mission. That is to say, he might not have met the Moon God Khonshu yet and has not become Moon Knight.

Schiller sighed, feeling somewhat disappointed.

Originally, his plan was to force the Moon God Khonshu out by stimulating Marc's emotions, and then drag him over to serve as a monster for the Avengers to fight.

If it were the Moon God Khonshu from the comics, he would be purely a villain, and getting beaten up would be deserved. The Khonshu in the TV series shows signs of redemption, but he is powerful, so getting beaten up wouldn't matter. Regardless of which version of Khonshu, he is definitely a cosmic entity, and getting beaten up is already getting off lightly. ===== CHAPTER 502 =====
