Chapter 692

Until now, Schiller still firmly believed that Death was the one who made the first move.

Schiller always felt that Death could cooperate with Asgard and could cooperate with the Egyptian pantheon, but she alone excluded him from the scope of cooperation. If this wasn't Death's fault, could it be his fault?

Of course, since it was cooperation, the prerequisite was that both parties were willing. However, under the condition that Schiller was very willing, Death was not very willing. Schiller felt that he needed to help her improve the degree of voluntariness.

First courtesy, then force. The courtesy part had already been done. Schiller made so many phone calls to Death, put forward countless conditions, and even modified the contract dozens of times. Such treatment was worthy of a multiverse-level existence.

However, Death left too fast, like a tornado. Not only did she disappear in a puff of smoke, but before leaving, she didn't forget to smash the scale Schiller had worked so hard to get.

Since this method was useless, Schiller naturally had to change to another method. Reasoning and negotiation could not move Death, so he could only go to cheat and sneak attack.

Just after the negotiation with Death ended, Schiller had this plan. But regarding how to launch a completely voluntary second-phase cooperation with Death, he still didn't have a very good idea until he saw Otto Parker in the Spider-Army.

He didn't forget that in Otto Parker's background story, the dying Doctor Octopus Otto successfully survived by swapping bodies with Spider-Man to deceive Death.

This also meant that Death's rules were not without loopholes. With Otto Parker's successful case, Schiller naturally determined the theme of this friendly cooperation, which was resurrection.

As everyone knows, all Death craves is death. Whether it is allowing Asgard to resurrect heroic spirits, allowing the Egyptian pantheon to resurrect believers, or even hinting at Thanos every day, hooking his soul, the essence is to let these people work for her and create more deaths.

And if a person who is about to die is suddenly resurrected, it means that Death's performance has one less.

Schiller is actually upholding justice because, normally, Death should collect every death, but she deliberately refuses some deaths to create more deaths, which is actually a ballot-stuffing behavior.

Simply put, it is using one's own authority to erase one's own 2-yuan salary, and then issuing oneself a 500-yuan bonus under another name, actually making a net profit of 498 yuan.

As a moral model in the financial industry, Schiller hates this abuse of power, so he plans to use his own method to erase the 498 yuan of ill-gotten gains from Death.

If a resurrection drug can be developed to reduce death, then the extra deaths that Death obtained through improper means can be offset.

This is definitely not Schiller wanting to take revenge on Death. On the contrary, he is avoiding Death from embarking on the road of illegal crime. After all, if Death is discovered by her big boss for ballot-stuffing, there won't be a Nick Fury to fish her out of prison and re-employ her.

In the future, whoever says that Thanos is the best to Death in this universe, Schiller will definitely be able to shout grievances righteously. Thanos is indulging Death on the road of no return. Only Schiller is truly good for Death.

Of course, the resurrection drug, which is the GH series of drugs, the research inspiration comes from the plot of the S. H. I. E. L. D. TV series. In this TV series, in order to prevent excellent agents from sacrificing and losing manpower, Nick made a plan called Tahiti.

The raw material of the GH drug in the Tahiti plan is exactly the Kree. And very coincidentally, there is currently a Kree prisoner on Earth, which is the Speaker who was caught by the mutants when they boarded the floating island during the Andromeda Galaxy war.

Before being caught, the Speaker claimed that he was a Skrull, but in the end, it was discovered by Charles that he was actually a descendant of a Kree spy.

After thanking the gift of nature, Schiller decisively proposed a plan to deal with this Kree in a meeting of the Light Alliance.

But no matter how to deal with the prisoner, he must first be given a physical examination. Humans have not yet collected the physical information of the Kree, so he must be checked inside and out to see what the difference is between this alien and humans.

Then, Schiller instructed Connors to point out during the examination that something in the Kree's genes could be used as raw material for the drug. At that time, Connors could not confirm this point, just because Schiller repeatedly requested it, so he mentioned it.

But in subsequent examinations, scientists discovered that the Kree really had this function. Their self-healing ability and transformation ability both came from a special gene, and this gene could be used as raw material to make drugs.

This time, the drug experiment started, and the best experimental subjects were actually S. H. I. E. L. D. agents, or rather, Hydra agents sent to S. H. I. E. L. D.

S. H. I. E. L. D. usually has quite a few dangerous missions. Most Hydra agents will avoid participating in such dangerous missions, but because all agents are Hydra, it is inevitable that Hydra agents will suffer.

In some dangerous missions specially arranged by Nick, Hydra agents who had just died would be injected with GH series drugs and then resurrected from death.

However, just like the plot of the TV series, the resurrected agents would appear with mental confusion. They would constantly draw some external symbols and outline some kind of mysterious pattern.

Because this performance was very much like some mental illnesses, Nick went directly to Schiller, the psychological consultant of S. H. I. E. L. D., hoping that he could find a way to crack these side effects.

And Schiller knew that in the TV series, these patterns were actually maps. They pointed to a very important prop in the play—the Obelisk.

Schiller wanted to get this prop, but it was not because it had any powerful functions. The so-called Obelisk was actually the Terrigen Crystal of the Inhumans, and it was not very pure. Its function was to allow the Inhumans to awaken their abilities.

But Schiller was not an Inhuman, nor did he need to awaken abilities. The reason he wanted to get the Obelisk was that Red Skull had once said that the Obelisk possessed the power to "explain death itself."

This sentence was very strange, sounding like a philosophical explanation that would appear in Kamar-Taj's meditation class, and it had nothing to do with the true function of this prop. So, how did Red Skull come to this conclusion?

For this reason, Schiller wanted to get that prop named Obelisk to see what was special about it.

When Schiller returned to the S. H. I. E. L. D. office, he called the old S. H. I. E. L. D. employee Ward directly.

Ward was the Hydra agent who was undercover in S. H. I. E. L. D. before. Later, he worked for Schiller, absorbed the yellow light energy brought by Pikachu, and under Schiller's instruction, induced Captain America to discover the Winter Soldier in the underground base.

When Ward came to Schiller's office, a thousand words turned into one sentence: "How could S. H. I. E. L. D. become like this???"

Ward vaguely remembered that before, he was an alternative in S. H. I. E. L. D. because he was an undercover Hydra agent. He was terrified and cautious every day, fearing that he would reveal his flaws. As a result, he went on a vacation and came back, only to find that those agents wandering around the office every day were all old acquaintances... old acquaintances.

Since then, he recognized the important role of the S. H. I. E. L. D. psychologist because he would often doubt whether this world was crazy???

Schiller tapped the table lightly, signaling him to sit down. After Ward sat down in the chair, he heard Schiller say:

"I hope you can go find an item named 084 Obelisk. The location should be in some warehouse of Hydra. Because this thing has corrosiveness on the surface and cannot be directly touched, you can use your special ability to bring it back."

"It shouldn't be just me who is eyeing that thing. In the process, you might encounter opponents. The other party also has special abilities. You can just use the yellow light energy from before to deal with them."

Schiller looked into Ward's eyes and said, "I don't hope for any accidents to appear. Tomorrow morning, I hope to see that thing appear on my desk."

In the combat preparation room of S. H. I. E. L. D., Coulson filled the last bullet into his pistol. He said to the agents in front of him, "The search for item 084 has entered the final stage. We have locked onto the target warehouse and are now going to retrieve that item."

"Retrieving lost special items is S. H. I. E. L. D.'s duty. I don't hope for any accidents. Now, prepare to set off."

After speaking, Coulson loaded his pistol, turned around, and walked out of the room quickly.

A series of hurried footsteps echoed in the corridor. Coulson led the way, and other agents followed him silently, walking quickly through the hall of S. H. I. E. L. D.

With a "ding," the elevator door opened, and everyone walked up. When the elevator door closed slowly, a trace of fatigue appeared between Coulson's brows.

Opening the car door and sitting in the car, the driving agent turned to Coulson and said, "Boss, you look a bit tired recently. Do you really not need to rest for a while?"

Coulson tilted his head, leaned on the headrest of the seat, shook his head, and didn't speak, but he also knew that his state was not good.

Now, S. H. I. E. L. D. is short of manpower. Many agents have invested in the solar system construction plan. Therefore, the heavy burden of local defense work has all been pressed onto Coulson.

He needs to arrange internal affairs, be responsible for manpower mobilization, and keep an eye on every plan.

At the same time, the Tahiti Project he is responsible for has put him under great moral pressure. After all, he didn't know that those agents were actually Hydra. Coulson thought that those agents facing pain were all people like him who had made great contributions to S. H. I. E. L. D.

This kind of mental torture is the most energy-consuming. Coulson didn't even notice that his fingertips were actually shaking all the time, and only when he held the gun tightly could it be slightly better.

When arriving at the mission location, Coulson pushed the door and walked out first. Seemingly to discard the distracting thoughts in his brain, he accelerated his pace and walked into the warehouse.

Just when he had just seen a box printed with "084," he heard a sound of wind attacking him.

Coulson drew his gun and turned his head, instantly aiming at the figure that suddenly appeared. The other party was a bald man, very strong.

Coulson, who was suddenly frightened in a quiet environment, subconsciously pulled the trigger. "Bang bang," two shots hit the bald man's arm and thigh.

But what Coulson didn't expect was that the other party didn't scream and fall down, but stood safely in place.

Coulson saw that all the bullets that hit this man were absorbed into his body.
