Chapter 504: Tonight the Moonlight is Like Blood (Part 2)

~10 min read 1,999 words

When Schiller and Khonshu entered the room, the person in the center of the room opened his eyes. Khonshu did not see any violent or crazy emotions in his eyes; his gaze appeared very calm, even to the point of being somewhat indifferent.

Schiller walked up, and while untying the iron chains, asked, "Since you have entered Marc's mind, you should know his current condition. How many personalities does he have?"

"Two," Khonshu replied.

Schiller looked at him and then said, "He should have more than two personalities..."

Khonshu did not deny it, but explained, "He indeed only has two personalities now, but it seems there is another personality forming."

"What is the name of the personality that already exists?" Schiller stopped the movement of his hands, turned his head to look at Khonshu, and asked.

"Jake," Khonshu replied.

"As expected..." Schiller continued his work, sighing as if talking to himself, "A very rare situation."

After finishing, he looked up at Khonshu and said, "Can you have two agents at the same time?"

Khonshu was again a bit confused by his question. Schiller was also the first human he had seen who didn't seem to mind working with other believers. The Moon Knights he had met before all wished they were the only unique super-powered person.

"Do you know? Marc's situation is very rare in psychological research. He is a very good case. If a series of treatments could be conducted on him, perhaps my new paper would be settled."

"Yes," Khonshu agreed without hesitation. In fact, whether it was the power given to Marc or the power given to Schiller, it was insignificant to him.

All cosmic entities are like this. Although their agents gained powerful strength because of them, these powers are actually just a drop in the bucket. Just like the Great Demon Shadow Chthon, who can contract with Scarlet Witch and Madame Hydra at the same time, the Moon God Khonshu can also contract with two agents at the same time. To him, even if there is one more agent, the loss is approximately equal to zero.

"Well, since he is very interested in my identity as a spy, let's go execute the mission to eliminate Ammit together."

When he finished this sentence, Schiller had already opened the iron chains on the two walls. Then, he asked Khonshu again, "Do you know what caused Marc's mental condition?"

"It was something from his childhood."

After hearing this answer, Schiller's work stopped again. He turned around, looked at the figure in the room, glanced outside the door, and then continued to fiddle with the iron chains. He said:

"90% of patients with multiple personality disorder have childhood trauma as the cause."

After saying this, he quickly added, "Yes, I have seen many similar cases, for example, a guy who has a green, super-strong personality..."

With a "clatter," the last iron chain fixed to the ceiling was also untied. Schiller walked to Khonshu's side, looked at him, and then said:

"If I remember correctly, the battle suit Marc summons seems to be composed of mummy bandages. Seriously, this triggered a bit of my memory..."

Schiller paused, seemingly truly lost in memory, and then said with some emotion:

"When I used to wear this straitjacket, I often fantasized that I was a mummy lying in a coffin."

Schiller turned his head and looked with Khonshu at the figure in the room wearing the straitjacket for psychiatric patients. He said:

"Still a bit like it, isn't it?"

As the moonlight descended onto that figure, the locks of the straitjacket slowly fell off.

In the Avengers base, Natasha stood in front of the conference table and said with a serious expression, "Just now, I received news from Director Fury that Dr. Schiller has been arrested by the CIA!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone's expressions were different, but the anxious atmosphere Natasha expected did not appear. The first to speak was Stark, who made a cross on his chest and then said, "God bless the CIA."

Steve touched his chin and said, "Schiller arrested the CIA... ah, I mean, why did the CIA arrest Schiller?"

"They claimed that someone reported Schiller as a spy..."

"That's not wronging him!" Stark said irritably. Obviously, he still remembered that Schiller's other personality was Hydra.

The only one who was slightly anxious was Peter, who said, "Then shouldn't we go save him?"

"Forget it." Stark waved his hand and said, "The CIA arrested Schiller; what we need to save is the CIA, but why would we save the CIA?"

"You can't say it like that." Barton coughed and said, "Dr. Schiller is our friend after all, and has provided us with a lot of help..."

"The most help he provided me was making Pepper exclaim at the medical expenses column when looking at the year-end financial report for three whole days, and then looking at me with that strange look for three weeks!" Stark said angrily.

"You actually counted the psychological treatment fees as medical expenses?" Steve looked at Stark and asked. He was confused for a moment, and then continued, "I heard that my psychological treatment fees were all reimbursed as weapon wear and tear..."

Barton immediately stretched out his hand to cover Steve's mouth and said, "The Director's understanding of economics is different from ordinary people's; let's not talk about this topic!"

Who knew, Stark mocked again, "Yeah, if you were a weapon, you haven't worn out to the point of being scrapped yet; you're truly a miracle in the field of human weapon maintenance..."

Seeing that the two were about to fight again, Natasha slapped the table hard and said, "Schiller is a S. H. I. E. L. D. employee, and the Avengers are managed by S. H. I. E. L. D., so rescuing Dr. Schiller is our next mission, and it cannot be refused!"

Ma Te thought for a while and then said, "You mean someone reported Schiller? Could it be Nick Fury? Schiller was caught, so the sky-high diagnosis fee doesn't need to be paid..."

Natasha turned her head, coughed twice in a low voice, and then said, "This is not important; what is important is that we must complete this emergency mission first."

"Dr. Schiller belongs to the medical personnel in logistics support; he is not even a combatant. If we don't go to rescue him, he might be tortured by the CIA..." Natasha tried hard to search for vocabulary in her mind and explained.

Others looked at the ceiling and the table for a while, but not one responded.

Just then, the phone by Natasha's hand suddenly rang. The female agent looked down, then picked up the phone and said, "Hello? Yes? I'm in a meeting, setting up an emergency mission. If there's anything, we'll talk later..."

"What? Missing?"

Everyone immediately turned their heads to look at Natasha. Natasha frowned and said to the other end of the phone, "You mean, Dr. Schiller is missing from the CIA? Also missing is another agent named Marc. Where did they go?"

Just during the process of Natasha talking on the phone, with a "whoosh," the battle suit on the shelf next to her flew over, and Stark was immediately fully armed.

"Can't track their trail? Why? Doesn't the surveillance show it? A cloud of gray mist and a weirdo in a hood, what exactly are you talking about?"

Steve stood up from the table, walked to the pool table next to him to pick up his shield, Ma Te went to the ammunition warehouse on the side to check the ammunition, Spider-Man fiddled with the web-shooters on his wrists, and vampire hunter Eric began to sharpen his knife.

"Okay, the rescue mission is temporarily terminated... I know, I will tell them."

After finishing, Natasha put down the phone, shrugged, and said, "Okay, you don't have to go now. Dr. Schiller is missing from the CIA base, and we can't find his trail for the time being. The meeting is over, you can disperse."

At this time, Natasha turned her head and saw Steve, who had already walked to her side. Steve also looked at her with those azure eyes. The two stared at each other for a long time, and Steve said, "Thank you, ma'am, a wonderful meeting, but can you move aside a little bit?"

Natasha stretched out a foot and moved a step to the side. Steve stood in the very center of the long table and said:

"Eddie, Ma Te, you two give me three combat plans within 5 minutes and send them to everyone's communicator via computer..."

"Tony, Peter, and the Shadows, search in New York together, looking for any possible traces. Once discovered, contact me immediately via communicator!"

"Natasha, Barton, you two go back to S. H. I. E. L. D. to apply for the use of surveillance in the entire New York State, prepare helicopters and planes, and be ready to arrive at the scene to support at any time..."

(Note: This line is a book title, not part of the narrative)

"I and the others will go to the CIA to investigate possible clues and track their whereabouts..."

"If there are no problems..." Steve scanned the circle and raised his shield, saying, "Avengers, assemble!"

"Wait! I have a question!" Eddie raised his hand. Seeing everyone's eyes fall on him, he asked hesitantly:

"Formulate a combat plan against whom?"

Stark turned his head to the side very helplessly, Steve shook his head as if deflated, and even Venom sighed deeply in Eddie's mind.

Eddie spread his hands and stared at them. Stark looked at him and said, "Who else could it be? Of course, it's Schiller!"

Seeing the eyes of Eddie and several others, Stark tapped the table with his metal-covered gauntlet, making a crisp sound, attracting everyone's attention. He said:

"The CIA received a report and wanted to arrest Schiller, which means Schiller is plotting something again, wanting to drag the CIA into the water and pit them. The CIA successfully arrested Schiller, which means Schiller might want to pit them big..."

"The CIA arrested Schiller, and we only received this news a few hours later, which means Schiller wanted to join forces with Nick to pit the CIA big..."

"And the big problem is, Schiller actually mysteriously disappeared from the CIA!"

Stark, who had read many psychology books, said in a certain tone, "Have you forgotten? Schiller has always claimed to be an ordinary person. If nothing happened, he wouldn't disappear mysteriously. It's only possible that he left the agents interrogating him speechless, or simply went to court to be acquitted, and then left..."

"Now, he disappeared mysteriously, which means he must have used abilities beyond those of an ordinary person, which means he doesn't want to pit the CIA, but is very likely pitting an existence that also possesses special abilities..."

Steve also sighed and said, "I remember, after I couldn't get through to his phone last time, it didn't take long for the Andromeda Galaxy to suffer."

"You reminded me." Stark patted his head and said, "Natasha, go contact the Sanctum Sanctorum later and ask Strange if he has seen him, then let Strange contact Asgard and ask Loki, as well as the mutants..."

"Wait a minute!" Blade Eric asked, "It doesn't have to be so urgent, right? He has only been missing for... uh, a few hours."

"He has even been missing for a few hours!" Stark suddenly raised his voice. He rubbed his temples, frowned, and said, "My God, go check the stars closest to Earth, and the cosmic entities closest to Earth..."

Being told this, several people became anxious one after another. After everyone started to act, Natasha walked out of the door quickly, then hurriedly took out her phone. Before she could ask, Nick's voice sounded on the other end:

"Don't ask, the disappearance is not in our plan. Quick, notify the spies, send information to all the enemies we can contact, and let them hide!" ===== CHAPTER 505 =====
