Chapter 528: Who Made Schiller Want to Kill (Part 2)
Stark and Steve came to the ward and saw Schiller sleeping again as expected. Stark walked up and shook Schiller, but Schiller didn't respond at all. He controlled the suit to play music, turned on the vibration mode, and then put his hand on the bedside, but Schiller was still sleeping.
Steve had already gone out to call the doctor. After the doctor came in, he conducted a check and debugged the machine. He said: "There is no problem with all physiological characteristics. He is not in a coma. He is really just sleeping."
"You may not know that in many mental illnesses, insomnia and narcolepsy occur at the same time. He may have insomnia symptoms last night, so I slept soundly today. If you don't have anything important to do, 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 go to the Mind Hall to find him and ask about this matter clearly."
As he said, he walked to the accompanying bed on the other side and said to Steve, "You wait here and take care of my body. I will go to Schiller in the dream and ask what is going on."
Steve did not refuse. He also knew that it would be safer for Stark, who now has mastered magic and psychology knowledge, to enter the dream world. If he brought him along, it would reduce efficiency.
Moreover, Schiller and Stark fell asleep at the same time. The bodies of the two people were not taken care of and might be in danger. Therefore, Steve sat in the middle of the two beds, with Schiller on the left and Stark on the right.
After falling asleep, Stark came to Schiller's Mind Hall in the same way as last time, but this time, the hall was much more lively. Looking from the bottom up, there were many figures from the first to the tenth floor, and this time, there was actually a Schiller to receive him.
Schiller with a globe head came up, shook hands with Stark, and took him to the elevator enthusiastically.
In the elevator, he introduced to Stark: "I don't know what happened to Schiller recently. He locked himself in the room every day and used the scale to make phone calls..."
"He kept mumbling to the empty table when he had nothing to do, and kept talking about resurrection conditions, Hall of Valor, and so on..."
"To be honest, we are very worried, but it is not easy to ask. You are his friend, so you'd better persuade him not to indulge in dreams all the time and go back to the real world to work..."
The more Schiller with a globe head spoke, the more serious Stark's face became. The elevator stopped and came to the 201st floor. Schiller with a globe head led Stark forward and said as he walked: "This is the temporary office floor. He is in the innermost office. You can see him when you open the door."
This Schiller was also very considerate to point out the direction for Stark. Stark nodded to him and immediately walked quickly towards the room.
When he pushed open the door, he saw Schiller sitting in front of a table. There was nothing on the table except a scale they had seen before. One end of the scale was a feather and the other end was a heart.
At this time, the inner end of the heart was still higher. Schiller pressed the heart with two fingers. It seemed that there was an invisible existence, pressing the other end.
When Stark walked in, Schiller was drinking water with a cup, so Stark didn't hear what he was talking about. After he walked up, he wanted to say something but stopped. Seeing an empty stool opposite the table, Stark wanted to go over and sit down.
"Sit over there." Schiller pointed to the other side of the table, where a chair appeared. Stark was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why?"
"There's someone opposite." Schiller stretched out his finger and rubbed his temple. In his field of vision, opposite was a woman in a professional suit, with a nameplate on her chest with a few words written on it: "Party A Manager".
The female image mainly comes from the comics Schiller had read before. Originally, the image of death in his mind was actually the image in Thanos' mind, because when Schiller read comics in his previous life, this image was the most impressive.
However, after several rounds of bargaining, Death's clothes have changed from that kind of robe to professional OL's attire, because except for the manager of the client, no one else will be so difficult to deal with.
Fortunately, he has made some progress. Now, Death is willing to sit opposite him and talk to him, which is an unprecedented great progress.
So, even if Schiller heard someone calling him in reality, he didn't go out. Even if the king of heaven came today, he had to make this deal.
Some people may think that this is just a phantom imagined by Schiller himself, just like the situation of Thanos, but in fact it is completely different. Death really came.
To be honest, Death was screwed by Schiller. In his long career, Death has traded with many beings, including Odin, Osiris, Mephisto, Hela, etc.
Most gods in charge of death or gods with the power of resurrection have made deals with her.
The general process of the deal is that these gods are aware of the existence of death, and when they think that death has a substance, they will see the illusion of death, just like Thanos. At this time, they will realize that death craves more death, and resurrection is just another way to bring death.
They will understand that death, as an abstract concept, cannot directly cause death, but must rely on others. In other words, death cannot directly tell Odin "Go kill people", she can only use a roundabout way, that is, to give Odin the authority to resurrect warriors, so that he can create more killings.
These contents are all understood by them in the dark, that is, when they think about the entity concept of death, they have already understood these contents. As long as they agree, the transaction is completed.
There will not be any drastic changes, but from now on, the authority to resurrect will be opened, and those souls they have designated will be rejected by the kingdom of death.
How does death identify the souls they have designated? In fact, it is through the token. Odin's token is his spear, and Osiris's token is this scale.
Generally speaking, the token will not be lost. The transaction object of death, because of the power of resurrection, can often develop many believers and will be very powerful. No one will take these tokens from them. For example, it is unlikely that someone will take Odin's spear from his hand.
A long time ago, when the Egyptian pantheon was flourishing, there were many believers and Osiris was also very powerful. However, in modern times, the Egyptian pantheon has had many problems and has not embarked on the same path of prosperity as Asgard, so the trading volume of the Libra has not been able to increase.
The power of death is infinite, but her refusal to accept souls is equivalent to less income, and this part of the income becomes her investment in this pantheon.
Only when the rejected souls create more killings can this investment be recovered. However, due to the decline of the Egyptian pantheon in modern times, there are not many believers and even fewer capable people, and the trading volume represented by the Libra has been losing money for a long time.
Death has allowed Osiris to resurrect many believers, which is equivalent to sunk costs. If the Libra is abandoned at this time, wouldn’t those rejected souls be equivalent to paying in vain?
Any creature with human nature will hesitate when faced with the choice of sunk costs, and the same is true for death.
Therefore, she would rather endure Schiller's harassing calls than give up this channel, just in case the Egyptian pantheon evolves into Asgard again after a few million years.
However, on the one hand, Schiller is really annoying. Sales calls are not only the enemy of humans, but also unbearable harassment for any intelligent creature. Death has been in the love field for so many years. No matter whether it is a powerful cosmic overlord or a high god, they are all her servants.
However, only Schiller does not talk about love or romance. Every day when he talks on the phone, he talks about money, money, money, money, money. Within three days, he got more than a hundred plans and made thousands of calls. He always talks about interest rates, principal and interest, loans...
To be honest, after listening for so long, Death almost understood the human financial system.
Because of this, Death was really moved. In Schiller's words, her previous cooperation method was inefficient, paid too much, and got too little back.
Schiller used the comparison between Asgard and the Egyptian pantheon to give Death a deep analysis of why this method didn't work.
Simply put, ordinary investment is risky, and no one can take it all. You may make a lot of money on one investment object, but then suffer a big loss on another investment object, just like Asgard, which made a lot of money, and the Egyptian pantheon, which almost lost all its pants.
And there are many ways to take it all, especially since Death still has such great authority. Is the game administrator afraid of not being able to get gold?
After Schiller's analysis, Death was really a little moved, but she was different from the Cosmic Demon. She had such great authority that she didn't want to cooperate with anyone on an equal footing. She just wanted to control Schiller like she controlled Thanos.
Now the relationship between the two, in simple terms, is that Schiller wants to use Death, and Death also wants to use Schiller. Both of them know each other's tricks, but they can't give up the benefits of using each other. Schiller wants to win, and Death also wants to win. Both of them can see each other's competitive spirit, but they can't let go of their own competitive spirit.
Anyway, they have been deadlocked for a long time, and it was only just now that there was a breakthrough. Death finally showed up and came to meet Schiller.
But the meeting was not smooth, because Death knew that the situation was not favorable to her. She didn't know how Schiller knew that her final condition was to create more deaths, but she herself didn't know what Schiller's final condition was.
Just before Stark came in, Death was testing Schiller, trying to figure out what Schiller wanted to do by trading with her.
Stark came in just during the intermission. Stark was not Death's negotiating partner, so he couldn't see Death at all. In his field of vision, Schiller was just muttering to the air.
"Honestly, Schiller." Stark put his hands on the table and said sincerely: "I can understand your ideals and beliefs. Even if I am not a Marxist, I feel very emotional after listening to Steve and Natasha talk about the glory of that era."
Schiller was having a headache thinking about those contracts and treaties. When he heard Stark say this, he didn't react at all.
"But, as I told Steve, that era has passed. There is no benefit in dwelling on the past. Dwelling on the past will hurt yourself, and if you want to revive the past, you will hurt more people."
Stark looked into Schiller's eyes and said to him seriously:
"If you want to revive the Soviet Union, I must dissuade you."
Schiller, who was overworked and dizzy, didn't understand what Stark was saying at all, but suddenly, he saw that the death opposite was stunned, showing a frightened expression, and then quickly disappeared.
Before leaving, her voice echoed in the room:
"You want to revive the Soviet Union? ? ? !!"
"Goodbye!!!!"
Schiller was stunned.
