Chapter 533: Who Made Schiller Want to Kill? (Part 3)

~11 min read 2,048 words

Stark and Steve, who came to the ward, saw Schiller sleeping again as expected. Stark walked up and shook Schiller, but Schiller had no reaction at all. He also controlled the battle suit to play music, turned on the vibration mode, and then pressed his hand on the head of the bed, but Schiller was still in a deep sleep.

Steve had already gone out to call a doctor. After the doctor came in and adjusted the machine, he said, "The physiological characteristics in all aspects are fine. It is not a coma, it is really just sleeping."

"You might not know that in many mental illnesses, insomnia and narcolepsy occur at the same time. He might have had symptoms of insomnia last night, so he slept more soundly during the day today. If you don't have anything important, you can come back to see him later."

After the doctor left, Stark frowned and looked at Schiller. He said, "I think we have to find him in the Mind Palace and then ask this matter clearly."

Saying this, he walked to the other side of the companion bed and said to Steve, "You wait here, watch my body, I will enter the dream to find Schiller and ask clearly what is going on."

Steve did not refuse. He also knew that Stark, who had mastered magic and psychological knowledge, was safer entering the dream world, and if he brought him along, it would reduce efficiency.

Moreover, Schiller and Stark entering the dream at the same time, with no one to look after their bodies, might encounter danger. Therefore, Steve sat between the two hospital beds, Schiller on the left, Stark on the right.

After entering the dream, Stark used the same method as last time to come to Schiller's Mind Palace. However, this time, the palace was much livelier. Looking from bottom to top, there were many figures on the first to tenth floors, and this time, there was actually a Schiller to receive him.

A Schiller with a globe head walked up, shook hands with Stark, and very enthusiastically took him to the elevator.

In the elevator, he introduced to Stark, "Recently, I don't know what happened to Schiller. He locks himself in the room every day and uses that scale to make calls..."

"He mumbles to the empty table when he has nothing to do, and his mouth is full of resurrection conditions, Valhalla, and the like..."

"To be honest, we are very worried, but it's not easy to ask. You are his friend, it's best to persuade him, don't always indulge in dreaming, hurry back to the real world to work..."

The more the globe-headed Schiller said, the more serious Stark's expression became. The elevator stopped, came to the 201st floor, and the globe-headed Schiller led Stark forward, saying while walking, "This is the temporary office floor. He is in the office at the very end. You can see it when you push the door."

This Schiller also very thoughtfully pointed out the direction for Stark. Stark nodded to him and immediately walked quickly toward that room.

When he pushed the door, he saw Schiller sitting in front of a table. There was nothing on the desktop, only a scale they had seen before. At one end of the scale was a feather, and at the other end was a heart.

At this time, the inner end of the heart was still higher. Schiller pressed the heart end with two fingers, and it seemed that there was an existence Stark couldn't see, pressing the other end.

When Stark walked in, Schiller was holding a water cup and drinking water. Therefore, Stark didn't hear what he was saying. He walked up and stopped talking. Seeing an empty stool placed opposite the table, Stark wanted to walk over and sit down.

"Sit over there." Schiller pointed to another side of the table, where a chair appeared. Stark was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why?"

"There is someone opposite." Schiller stretched out his finger and rubbed his temple. In his field of vision, opposite was a woman in professional attire, and the nameplate on her chest wrote a few words: "Party A Manager".

The female image mainly came from the comics Schiller had read before. Originally, the image of Death in his mind was actually the image in Thanos's mind because when Schiller read comics in his previous life, the deepest impression was this image.

However, after several rounds of games, Death's clothes had changed from that kind of robe to professional OL attire because, except for the manager of the Party A client, no one would be so difficult to deal with.

Fortunately, he had already made some progress. Now, Death was willing to sit opposite him and talk to him. This was simply an unprecedented big progress.

Therefore, even if Schiller heard someone calling him in reality, he didn't go out. Today, even if the King of Heaven came, he had to finish this order.

beqege.

Some people might think that this was just a phantom imagined by Schiller himself, just like Thanos's situation, but in fact, it was completely different. Death had really come.

Honestly, Death belonged to being confused by Schiller. In her long career, Death had traded with many existences, including Odin, Osiris, Mephisto, Hela, etc.

The vast majority of gods who presided over death in the pantheon, or gods who possessed the power of resurrection, had traded with her.

And the general process of the transaction was that these gods perceived the existence of death, and when they believed that death possessed an entity, they would see the fantasy of death, just like Thanos. At this time, they would realize that death craved more death, and resurrection was just another way to bring death.

They would learn that Death, as an abstract concept, could not directly create death and must use others as a proxy. That is to say, Death could not directly tell Odin "Go kill people", she could only use a roundabout way, which was to give Odin the authority to resurrect warriors, thereby allowing him to create more slaughter.

These contents were all understood by them in the dark, that is, when they thought about the entity concept of death, they had already understood these contents. As long as they agreed, the transaction was completed.

There would not be any intense changes, just from now on, the authority of resurrection was opened, and those souls they designated would be refused by the kingdom of death.

And how Death identified the souls they designated was actually through tokens. Odin's token was his spear, and Osiris's token was this scale.

Generally speaking, tokens would not be lost. Death's trading partners, because they possessed the power of resurrection, could often develop many believers and would also be very powerful. No one would take these tokens from their hands, just like it was unlikely that anyone would take his spear from Odin.

A long time ago, when the Egyptian pantheon was prosperous, there were many believers, and Osiris was also very powerful. However, in modern times, the Egyptian pantheon had many tricks and did not embark on the path of strong development like Asgard. Therefore, the transaction volume represented by the scale had not gone up.

Death's power was infinite, but her refusing to accept souls was equivalent to less income, and this part of the income became the investment she paid for this pantheon.

Only when the refused souls created more slaughter could this investment be recovered. However, because the Egyptian pantheon was lagging in modern times, there were not many believers, and even fewer capable people. The transaction volume represented by the scale had been losing money for a long time.

Death had already let Osiris resurrect many believers, which was equivalent to sunk costs. If she gave up the scale at this time, wouldn't those souls that were refused be equivalent to paying in vain?

Any biological creature with humanity would hesitate when facing the choice of sunk costs. Death was no exception.

Therefore, she would rather endure Schiller's harassing calls than give up this channel. What if the Egyptian pantheon evolved into Asgard again in a few million years?

However, on one hand, Schiller was really too annoying. Sales calls were not only the enemy of humans but also harassment that any intelligent creature could hardly bear. Death had been in the love field for so many years, regardless of whether it was a powerful cosmic hegemon or a high-ranking god, they were all her admirers.

However, only Schiller, didn't talk about love, didn't talk about affection, every day on the phone it was money, money, money, money, money, money, money. Within three days, he brought more than a hundred sets of plans, made thousands of calls, and opened his mouth and closed his mouth was interest rates, principal and interest, loans...

Honestly, after listening for so long, Death almost understood that set of human finance.

And precisely because of this, Death was really a bit tempted. In Schiller's mouth, her previous cooperation method was inefficient, paid too much, and recovered too little.

With the comparison between Asgard and the Egyptian pantheon, Schiller deeply analyzed for Death why this method didn't work.

Simply put, ordinary investments all had risks. No one could eat everything. Maybe they earned a lot of money from one investment object, and then suffered a big loss from another investment object, just like Asgard, which made a lot of money, and the Egyptian pantheon, which almost lost its pants.

And if you want to eat everything, there are many ways, especially since Death also masters such great authority. Is the game administrator afraid of not being able to hit gold?

Schiller's analysis really made Death slightly tempted. However, she was not the same as the cosmic demons. She mastered such great authority and didn't want to cooperate equally with anyone at all. She just wanted to manipulate Schiller like she manipulated Thanos.

The relationship between the two, simply put, was that Schiller wanted to use Death, and Death also wanted to use Schiller. Both knew the other's ghost ideas, but neither could give up the benefits of mutual utilization. Schiller wanted to win, and Death also wanted to win. Both saw the other's competitive spirit, but couldn't let go of their own competitive spirit.

Anyway, they had been deadlocked for a long time, and it was only just now that there was a breakthrough. Death finally appeared to talk to Schiller face-to-face.

But the face-to-face talk was not smooth either because Death knew that the situation was unfavorable to her. She didn't know where Schiller knew that her final condition was to create more death, and she herself didn't know what Schiller's final condition was.

Just before Stark came in, Death was testing Schiller, wanting to figure out what Schiller was trying to do by trading with her.

Just when it was a break, Stark came in. Stark was not Death's negotiating object, so he couldn't see Death at all. In his field of vision, Schiller was just mumbling to the air.

"Honestly, Schiller." Stark put both hands on the desktop and said sincerely, "I can understand your former ideals and beliefs. Even if I am not a Marxist, after listening to Steve and Natasha finish the glory of that era, I also feel very moved."

Schiller was thinking about those contracts and treaties until his head hurt. Hearing Stark say this suddenly, he didn't react at all.

"However, just like I said to Steve, that era has passed. Indulging in the past has no benefits. Indulging in the past will hurt yourself, and if you want to resurrect the past, it will hurt more people."

Stark looked into Schiller's eyes and said to him seriously:

"If you want to resurrect the Soviet Union, I must dissuade you."

Schiller, who was overworked and dizzy, didn't understand what Stark was talking about at all. But suddenly, he saw the Death opposite him freeze, revealing a look of horror, and then disappeared quickly.

Before leaving, her voice echoed in the room:

"You want to resurrect the Soviet Union???!

"Goodbye!

Schiller was dumbfounded. ===== CHAPTER 534 =====
