Chapter 515: Journey Into Schiller's Past (Part 2)
When Stark and Steve walked into the insane asylum, the whole corridor was dark, with only one door open. The light from inside shone on the opposite wall, like a cyan painting.
The two slowed down and gradually approached. When they came to the door, Steve took the lead to approach the wall and stick his head in. The ward was small and unobstructed, but there was no one, or rather, there was not a person, but a god with a skull falcon head.
Kong Su was sitting on the edge of the bed with a wooden pole in his hand. Stark recognized him. He walked in and said angrily: "Kong Su??? Why are you here?! You controlled Schiller! Where is he now?!"
Kong Su saw him and Steve coming in and showed a very strange expression. Stark thought he might have an illusion. He could actually see the feeling of grievance from the face of a skull bird head.
But soon, Kong Su's actions told Stark that this was not an illusion, because he heard Kong Su sigh deeply. This sigh contained too many complex emotions, grievance, worry, and deep regret.
Steve, who had just walked in, was not paying attention to the strange-looking Kong Su, but the wooden pole in his hand that looked like a clothesline. In addition to this pole, there were various rings and shiny beads scattered on the ground. Steve turned around and couldn't figure out what was going on here, so he could only ask:
"Uh, hello, Eagle? Are you Eagle? Why are you here? What happened here? Have you seen Schiller?"
Steve heard Kong Su sigh again, put the bare wooden pole aside, looked up and looked around the ward, and then said:
"You should be Schiller's friends, right? Since you have found this place, you should know something about the dream world."
"Yes, in fact, we first came here much earlier than you did." Stark narrowed his eyes. eyes, and said: "But we have never been to this room. Which personality of Schiller lives here?"
Kong Su sighed deeply again and said slowly:
"The one who can fight the best."
Then, in a rather heavy tone, he told Stark and Steve how he met Schiller and how he came here. After telling all this, he added:
"I am one of the three pillars of Thebes, but I don't live in heaven. This has to start with a previous separatist war."
"The relationship between Egyptian gods is complicated, and the conflict between natural gods and animal gods is the most intense. When the war started, I was not in heaven, but when the war ended, I was told that I could no longer enter my former home."
"There are many gods like me, including Anubis, who is very famous in your human world. , his situation is very similar to mine. He is not a simple animal god, but because he has an animal-like appearance, he was expelled. "
"Why did the animal god and the natural god quarrel?" Steve asked puzzledly: "You are all from the same pantheon, and the relationship should be very close, just like Asgard."
Kong Su shook his skull falcon head and said: "Animal gods are more similar to you humans. They have joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness. They have to survive and fight. But the natural gods who were born in nature and regard nature as their gods are more like natural phenomena, cold, arrogant, and unpredictable. "
"I was very angry about their actions. When I mentioned this story to Schiller, he said that he had a plan to help the animal gods regain the heaven..."
"At first, I was not interested, because I knew that I and other animals The animal gods did not want to start a war, but later, I wavered, because if there was a chance to take revenge on those arrogant natural gods, I was willing to give some strength..."
"So, he went to fight those natural gods alone?" Stark asked with wide eyes, then he drew a cross on his chest and said: "God bless them."
"One-on-one?" Kong Su touched his beak with his hand, and the jaw moved up and down, making a "click-click" sound. Stark actually saw a complicated expression on his face again, and then he heard Kong Su say: "The word single-handed is not very accurate..."
"Wait, since you didn't control him, why did he seem so..." Steve pursed his lips, obviously remembering the cold temperament of Schiller in the previous battle, especially remembering Baron Zemo, who was stabbed in the throat by Schiller and blood splattered three feet.
Kong Su sighed deeply again. He took out the wooden pole and stood it in front of him. Stark and Steve stared at the wooden pole. Kong Su said sadly, "This is my scepter."
"Well...it's very simple and has a primitive beauty." Steve commented after a pause,
"But it wasn't like this before."
Hearing Kong Su say this, Stark lowered his head and glanced at the parts scattered on the ground. He suddenly showed a strange expression and kept pursing his lips, as if he was trying to hold back a laugh. Steve obviously thought of something, but before the two of them started to laugh, Kong Su said:
"I represent the ever-changing phases of the moon, so I will choose believers with chaotic and complex souls as my agents. When Schiller came to me, I had never seen such a chaotic soul, so I chose him..."
"In the past, when I gave power to the Moonlight Knights, I would choose the most chaotic part of their souls to strengthen, and the result was..."
Kong Su's huge bird beak made a "clicking" sound again. Stark and Steve recalled the completely different Schiller before, and then looked at Kong Su with sympathy at the same time.
Stark started walking around the ward, and Steve said, "Okay, can you take us to him? We have to make sure he's still alive..."
Kong Su also stood up, holding his bare scepter, and Stark said, "Wait, I'm going to investigate here."
While flipping through the cabinet next to him, he said to Steve, "Don't forget what we saw before. Schiller's psychological problems may be serious. We can't just leave it alone. We have to collect more clues..."
With a "clang", an old cabinet door was violently pulled open by Stark. The moment the cabinet door opened, a bunch of things fell down.
Stark was stunned looking at the pile of things. Those things were very strange, with sharp edges of dinner plates, old-fashioned wooden pencils, spoons that were made into strange shapes, wires, ropes, and even two plastic toy ducks.
Moreover, these things were all stained with blood.
Steve came over and squatted, using his fingers to push those things away. He said hesitantly: "I remember you said before that everything in the dream may represent a memory."
"The pool of blood under the carpet represents a tragedy, so all these things here..."
When Steve said this, he and Stark were silent. Stark lowered his head and said: "I read in a psychology book that there is a kind of people in this world called 'genius perverts'.
Steve looked at him, and Stark continued to stare at the pile of things and said: "It also has a more widely spread term, called 'high-functioning antisocial personality'."
"If I'm not mistaken, everything here represents a murder he once committed. "Steve picked up one of the pencils and looked at the direction of the blood on it. He said, "Like this..." He held the pencil in the position of holding a knife, then raised his head and put the pencil against the side of his neck, saying, "... stabbing in and pulling it out will leave blood like this, and if you want to kill someone, it's best to insert it directly into the trachea..." "And this..." Steve picked up the broken piece of the dinner plate that seemed to have been broken off. It was triangular in shape, one of the corners was the ordinary rounded corner of the dinner plate, and the other two corners were very sharp. Steve pinched the rounded corner and said, "If it were me, I could kill someone by holding it directly like this, but if you don't have enough strength, you can tie a handle to it. This pencil is good." As he said that, he completely pushed away the pile of things and pointed to each item in it and said: "It can be seen that he is constantly exploring the skills of killing. Perhaps at the beginning, his strength and skills were not enough, so he chose the most labor-saving and lethal wire. As long as he finds the right point of force and strangles it from behind, it is difficult for the target to break free. "
"After that, he began to use sharp tools, metal with sharp cuts, which can cause serious injuries to people without much force..."
"After that..." Steve threw away the things in his hand, then stood up, lowered his eyes, looked at the ground, and said: "Maybe you are right, he is indeed a genius killer, he only used a few murders to become a professional killer, and even, far more than that..."
Stark stretched out his hand and picked out the things that did not look like murder weapons, such as the two rubber toy ducks, half a picture frame, a small box that seemed to be jewelry, and many other strange things.
"He began to be dissatisfied with doing it himself, but used the environment and props to create accidents..." Stark continued Steve's words and said: "Maybe he is exploring the method of making a perfect murder case, or perhaps, he has also embarked on the criminal path of the cases in those psychology books..."
"No..." Steve denied him, saying: "But now it seems that Schiller's state is not like the criminal you said, and if he has become a criminal, the third, fourth, or even hundreds of personalities can't be split one by one like this, right? "
"It is very difficult to fully analyze a person's personality and inner world, let alone someone like Schiller who has an overly rich inner world." Stark looked around the room and said, "All of this is just our speculation based on the existing clues, and it's in a dream."
"In short, we have to find Schiller first and then ask him what he wants to do."
Stark and Steve turned to look at Kong Su at the same time. Before they asked, Kong Su said, "When he told me about this plan, he didn't tell me everything, but he kept asking me about the details of the Egyptian pantheon that gods can resurrect believers..."
Stark keenly caught a word in Kongsu's words, and asked: "Resurrection? Can you resurrect people?"
Kongsu sighed and said: "In a sense, yes, it has to start from the judgment of the believers after death..."
"The key... The key is the judgment of the believers after death!" Osiris, who was hanging on a coconut tree and out of breath, said.
He lowered his head and looked at the various Schillers around him, and said in despair:
"You can only be resurrected after passing the judgment! In other words, if you pass the judgment, you will not be accepted by death..."
