Chapter 1369: The Mystery of the Feast (XIX)
(This plot may have frequent cutscenes, be careful if you are carsick!)
At noon on the day of the ball, Schiller did not go to the restaurant to eat, but asked the waiter to deliver the food to the room. He ordered an extra meal for Rocket Raccoon, who sat on the table and tore chicken legs with his little paws.
Suddenly he saw a cup full of water being handed to him. Rocket Raccoon looked up and looked at Schiller who handed the cup with puzzled eyes. Schiller also stared at him and asked, "Aren't you going to wash it?"
"I'm not a raccoon!!!"
Schiller smiled, Rocket Raccoon sighed, and then said with some emotion, "I didn't expect you to let me eat at the table. You hairless monsters always treat me as a little pet and think that not putting a chain around my neck is already a great mercy."
"I treat all intelligent lives equally. Compared with their various appearances, I pay more attention to their psychology. I can see that You are a little anxious now, what are you worried about? "
Rocket Raccoon raised his head and blinked, then tilted his head, as if wondering how Schiller could see what he was thinking, but soon he frowned and said: "Don't you think all this is a bit too coincidental? I mean everything that happened around the M'Kraan crystal. "
"First I came here, and my underlying agreement contained information about the M'Kraan crystal. Then the Queen of the Shi'ar Empire also came to the banquet because she was troubled by the M'Kraan crystal and wanted to find help. Then the bald man also wanted to take advantage of the M'Kraan crystal. "
Rocket Rocket Raccoon's eyebrows were deeply twisted together, and his tail was slapping the table up and down in annoyance. He stopped moving his hands and said, "It seems that there is an invisible thread behind these things, connecting all the clues together and making them burst out at the same time."
"Although there are many coincidences in the universe, I don't think this is so coincidental. Maybe there is a bigger conspiracy behind it."
"Oh?" Schiller made an ambiguous syllable. He cut the food on the plate and looked at Rocket Raccoon at the same time, asking, "What do you think is the truth, and who is behind all this?"
Rocket Raccoon's eyebrows were getting tighter and tighter , until his entire facial features wrinkled, he shrugged his nose, moved the muscles of his mouth, and bared his teeth, saying: "I have been wandering in the universe and have not been able to contact any big shots. I have also been hiding in the warehouse for some time and can't even see the news. How can I guess?"
But Schiller shook his head and said: "The key to reasoning is not the general trend or big shots, but some details. In fact, just from what you heard about Professor X, Magneto and Queen Shia, you can find some strange details."
"Strange details?" Rocket Raccoon narrowed his eyes and began to recall what he had seen and heard.
"I guess you must be thinking about the conversation between the Queen of the Shi'ar Empire and Professor X, right?"
Rocket Raccoon nodded and said, "If there are any doubts, there are too many doubts about the relationship between the two of them."
"No, you should think back a little further."
"Further back..." Rocket Raccoon repeated half of the sentence and fell into thought again, but Schiller soon said again: "I guess, did you think of the conversation between Professor X and Magneto?"
Rocket Raccoon nodded again, and then Schiller shook his head and said, "We have to go back a little further. "
"Go further?" Rocket Raccoon said in surprise, "But there is nothing further ahead? Isn't it that red-haired girl who comes to see you? What does that have to do with this matter?"
"Sometimes, reasoning and detection need to be counter-intuitive." Schiller ate the food on the plate slowly and said, "Many conversations with a lot of information are not necessarily important. Scenes that seem to imply important information may just be a cover."
"The more inadvertent and the less informative details of life are, the more relevant information can be dug out. Clues to the truth. "
Rocket Raccoon's expression became more and more confused, then he lowered his head dejectedly, scratched one of his ears with his little paw, and said: "I'm just a raccoon, don't let me think so much, come on, great detective, reveal the secret quickly."
Schiller finally showed a satisfied smile, he tapped the edge of the plate with his fork and said:
"Do you still remember who called before Scarlet Witch came to see me?"
"Well..." Rocket Raccoon paused, then said: When you answered the phone, you said a name called 'Jarvis', which sounds like the girl's boyfriend. "
Schiller nodded and said, "They are indeed in a relationship. Do you remember Wanda saying who the X-Men called to find Wanda?"
"Well, it seems to be this Jarvis." At this point, Rocket Raccoon frowned. He also found something wrong, so he said, "Why do others call Wanda's boyfriend to find her, and she also asked her boyfriend to call you when she came to find you? Doesn't she have her own phone?"
"Many people think that the starting point of reasoning should be 'someone did something in a certain scene', but in fact, the starting point of reasoning should be 'should someone appear in a certain occasion'. Reasoning should start from whether someone's existence in a certain event is reasonable."
"From this point of view, the existence of Jarvis is actually completely redundant. Even if Wanda and the X-Men are not familiar with each other, they are also mutants. Why should they communicate through others?"
"Even if Magneto and the X-Men were enemies before, the relationship between Wanda and the X-Men is also a bit awkward. They are embarrassed to call directly. Then can't Scott go to Lorna? No matter how bad the relationship between Lorna and Wanda is, they are sisters. Even if he finds Pietro, it is more reliable than finding Jarvis, who has just met for a short time and is not a mutant, right?"
Rocket Raccoon scratched his head. He didn't know the complicated relationship between mutants on Earth, so he didn't quite understand what Schiller said.
But in fact, Schiller's meaning is very clear. Mutants have always been clinging to each other and are exclusive. Even if the X-Men were taught by Professor X not to harm ordinary people, most of them do not regard non-mutants as their own.
If Wanda is not familiar with the X-Men, then they are even more unfamiliar with Jarvis. Besides, Jarvis is not a mutant. For the X-Men, who are all mutants, it is more embarrassing to find another mutant than to find an outsider who is not a mutant.
"In other words, the group of X-Men may have received instructions from someone. Someone has told them who to find when they encounter trouble..." Schiller cut a piece of meat and put it into his mouth, and then said: "And the X-Men will only listen to one person..."
Rocket Raccoon widened his eyes and said: "So, it was the bald professor who told his students to find Jarvis? But who is this Jarvis? What's special about him?"
"Jarvis may be a little special, but the person behind him is even more special."
After that, Schiller didn't care whether Rocket Raccoon could understand or not, but analyzed from the beginning.
"As you said, there must be a chess player behind this series of events, and every force in this whole incident is his chess piece."
"First of all, Asgard. If the God King wants to marry the God Queen, then the in-laws are the problem he has to deal with. Demotion first and then promotion can be said to be a typical example of giving a sweet date with a stick."
"First, let Heimdall go back for vacation on the grounds that the Rainbow Bridge needs to be repaired, forcing Sif's relatives to make a choice, sacrificing other people's positions to keep Heimdall's high position. This is not a conspiracy, but an open conspiracy where everyone knows the purpose."
"Then the question is, who made this plan?"
"Thor has indeed grown a lot, He is becoming more and more like a dutiful and powerful king, but in fact, he is still an upright gentleman who does not like to play with people's hearts and cannot accept the bottom-line exchange of interests. "
"And even if he is willing to do so, he changed his mind too quickly. It is impossible for him to learn the emperor's mind overnight, and it is impossible for him to use such a conspiracy so skillfully after just a short time of enlightenment."
"And Loki is more like a conspirator. Odin has never taught him any king's conspiracy. He is better at deception than taking advantage of the situation. When everyone knows the truth, he forces them to make a choice that is beneficial to him, which is the so-called conspiracy. "
"In other words, the main reason for this matter is that The conspiracy is probably not Thor or Loki. The two of them are at best assists, and the real mastermind is someone else. "
"From this incident, the other party is very good at similar conspiracy. He is very good at creating a scene so that only a key person can solve a certain problem, and then he can let this key person enter the house and go to where he should go. "
"And going a step further, he will persuade all forces to help him build a scene, and then let the key things of all forces go to where they should go, perfectly using a scene in one thing to achieve all the desired goals. "
"Whether it is Thor who wants Heimdall to take charge of the Rainbow Bridge again, Loki who wants Hela to return to Asgard Germany, or Thanos wants to get the territory, the Supreme Sorcerer wants the portal technology, and the mutants want the M'Kraan crystal..."
"All these purposes will probably converge into one scene, and then different people will get what they want with different motives and methods."
Schiller took a sip of wine, his eyes full of smiles, and he said in an exclamatory and slightly complicated tone: "What a great move."
The glittering light of the wine was reflected in Schiller's eyes. When he raised his eyes again, his eyes passed over the heavy figures on the dance floor and looked at Tony Stark holding a wine glass opposite him, and Tony Stark was also smiling at him, as if saying to him, "It's your turn."
Schiller's smile on his face did not change, but he suddenly stepped forward and came to the body of the Queen of the Shi'ar Empire, and said, "I think I already know who killed the queen."
In an instant, all the participants who had their own concerns frowned fiercely.
