Chapter 527: Who Made Schiller Want to Kill? (Part 2)

In the Avengers' base, Natasha took the Red Flag Medal and her eyes widened when she saw the wear marks on it.

"How is it? Is it true?" Steve asked.

Natasha opened her mouth, hesitated, and then said: "I have never received this medal, and the Red Flag Medal has a long history and many versions, but judging from the wear and tear, it should not be a souvenir..."

"The Red Flag Medal is issued in large quantities and can be found on the market now. There shouldn't be anyone who specifically makes fake ones, right?"

After that, Natasha weighed the medal with some doubts, looked at Steve, and said: "You are planning to surrender to the Communist Party now, isn't it a little late?"

"Don't joke." Steve said with a serious face: "We found this in the office of Schiller Sanatorium. Now we suspect that his wife may be of the same generation as you, and has also undergone genetic modification. Maybe she also came from the Red House..."

"Impossible." Natasha immediately denied this. After that, she cast her eyes on the medal. Steve looked at her beautiful face, but did not see any expression on it. This female agent has always been able to control her emotions well.

"Perhaps you don't understand what happened at that time, and I don't want to talk about it because it's been a long time. But, no matter what, it's impossible for anyone other than me to achieve immortality through transformation."

Natasha took a deep breath and slowly began her story:

"I was born in Stalingrad in 1928. At that time, the Soviet Union's first five-year plan had just begun, and everything was in its infancy, including intelligence work."

"There is no country in the world that doesn't need agents. After realizing this problem, they began to select talented children for training, and I was transformed afterwards."

"What about the children who were transformed at the same time as you?"

"There were no children who were transformed at the same time as me." Natasha sighed and looked at Stark and said : "At that time, World War II had already broken out, Stalingrad became the frontline battlefield, the Soviet Union devoted itself to the war, the intelligence center leaned towards the wartime intelligence department, and the Red House Project had been shelved."

"Moreover, at that time, the level of science and technology was not so advanced. I was the only one who underwent the transformation. Fortunately, the transformation was successful."

"You can understand it this way. My experience with Captain America is the same. We are both super soldiers born for war. Such success cannot be replicated. There is no second Captain America in the United States, and there is no second Black Widow in the Soviet Union."

Natasha's words convinced Steve, because Steve himself knew that the super soldier serum was only successful on him at that time. More than 70 years have passed, and there is still only one Captain America.

If you have to say the reason, in addition to luck, there is also the reason that the technology of that era was indeed not so advanced. Steve remembered that before the experiment began, he heard the staff say that this was a project with a huge investment, and it almost dragged down the army's economy, but in the end, there was only such a successful case.

At that time, although the United States was not as wealthy as it is now, the Soviet Union was the same. Moreover, the Soviet Union had to face the enemy on the front battlefield, so it was probably more financially constrained, and it was normal that the strategy did not lean towards this aspect.

"Or, in other words..." Natasha said with her arms folded: "If they could have created a company of me at that time, how could the front line fight so fiercely?"

Stark and Steve both nodded. At this time, Stark suddenly asked: "Did you defect because they conducted human experiments on you and risked your life?"

Natasha made a "snort" sound in her mouth, and she said: "You don't know how happy I was when they notified me that I was selected as an experimental subject. That was the happiest day of my life, because I thought that I could finally use this powerful force to dedicate my life to this great country."

Stark saw that Steve turned his head and showed some moving expressions on his face. Obviously, he knew Natasha's past better.

"Essentially, there is no difference between me and Steve. You have no right to accuse anyone of taking risks with human lives, because Captain America is also the product of human experiments. We were all created to deal with wars. There is no difference between us. The difference is that your family is still there, and I..."

Natasha shook her head. Stark saw that when Natasha looked at the medal again, there was some different emotion in her eyes.

But soon, the female agent restrained her expression and said, "I think your speculation is completely nonsense. You Americans like these bloody plots."

"First of all, I am the only one who got the immortality gene. The other Red House agents have died long ago."

"Secondly..." Natasha pinched the medal with two fingers and put it in front of her eyes, and then said, "Do you think anyone can get this medal?"

"I admit that the later Soviet Union did like to issue medals randomly, but judging from the manufacturing process of this medal, it should belong to the early Red Flag Medal, and it is still very important."

"What you don't understand is that it is very difficult to get the Order of the Red Banner when working in intelligence. You must make great contributions to get it. You should know about the Cambridge Five, right?"

Stark and Steve both nodded. Natasha said, "Harold King Philby, the most famous of the Cambridge Five, is the owner of the Order of the Red Banner. I don't need to say much about how great his contribution is, right?"

Natasha shook her head and said, "I believe that before I left the Red House, I was also a leader in the Soviet intelligence community. I even did more than agents. I also participated in wars, but I didn't get this medal."

"If there was another female agent who got this medal at that time, I would definitely know it. Moreover, if there really was such an excellent female agent, we would definitely be familiar with each other, but as far as I know, there is no such person."

The reasoning was deadlocked again, and Stark and Steve were both lost in thought. At this time, Natasha suddenly said:

"The story you made up is quite bloody, it just doesn't fit the reality, there are too many far-fetched places in it, whether it is time or space, there are many loopholes."

"In my opinion, the matter is very simple." Natasha speculated: "You said that he was an antisocial personality when he was a teenager, and I don't know how he was cured in the end."

"Let me put it this way, if there is such a great psychologist in the world, at least he must be an academic master, how could you not have heard of her name?"

"Women, Soviet agents, well-known scholars in the field of psychology, immortals, patients with neurodegenerative diseases... Each of these is a low-probability event, and you should be very clear about the possibility of overlap."

"I think Schiller may not be cured by others, he may have healed himself."

"But Schiller emphasized to us many times that doctors cannot heal themselves." Steve said.

"But he didn't heal himself. Is there a possibility that he was actually healed by some spirit and ideal?"

Steve and Stark were stunned. Obviously, they thought of something. Stark wanted to question, but Steve said, "Indeed, this is very likely."

"You can't say that Schiller is actually this Soviet agent who was inspired by communism and then joined the KGB?" Stark's tone revealed absurdity.

"Is this rare?" Natasha asked back: "In that era, there were countless people like this. Even though I have been doing intelligence work in other countries, I know that most of my colleagues are doing this..."

At this time, Stark heard Steve sigh. His tone was a little low, revealing the unique sense of the times when recalling the past. He said: "Yes, maybe it may be difficult for you to imagine that it was an era full of idealists."

"Every Soviet person I know has a light in his eyes when talking about their country. Since then, I have never seen such a pure ideal light again."

"Perhaps, we cannot understand and agree with that doctrine, but there is a reason why that country is so powerful."

Stark fell silent, and the sound of the "beeping" of the battle suit echoed in his ears. As a person who has not experienced that era, it is indeed difficult to imagine.

However, page after page of historical data passed in front of him, and all the records on them were examples, even more exaggerated than the stories they had heard, one after another, and the sparks spread all over the prairie...

But standing at the bottom of history, Stark already knew the end of the behemoth that was once so powerful that it stood on the top of the earth. He looked at Natasha.

At this time, Natasha was staring at the badge in her hand in a trance. Stark felt that he had hallucinations because he saw a trace of desire in Natasha's eyes.

He didn't know how many times he had heard Natasha scold that country. It was definitely not a disguise. It can be said that even if he, an American, scolded it, it would not be so sincere.

What is she hating? What is she missing?

Seeing Natasha's performance, Stark actually believed it a little. Perhaps, those glorious years have become their lifelong pride and nightmare.

Stark looked down at the folder again. Is Schiller the same?

The so-called lover did not exist. What he loved, what healed him, and what pulled him back from the edge of the abyss was the campfire that had been lit on the Siberian snowfield and the shining light under the red flag.

And now, what made him suffer, what he could not let go of for a long time, and what he could never forget was this worn-out red medal.

It can be said that what they saw in Schiller's Hall of Thought before and what they speculated were only guesses, and the only physical evidence now was this document and this medal.

If there is anything that is the only thing that has been confirmed, it is that Schiller did have this red medal, did see this once extremely important list, and did have a relationship with the dead country.

Then perhaps, the only real damage comes from this, and it cannot be healed.

Stark and Steve both thought of this.

In Schiller's mind palace, after seeing the tragedy, they felt that if they had to choose between the collapse of the spiritual pillar and death, they would choose the latter.

But now it seems that it may not be a collapse of the spiritual pillar. After that, there are still more serious disasters.

"I think he doesn't need to be treated." Natasha was obviously talking about Schiller, but Stark heard her talking about herself.

"If he is really sick because of this, then he doesn't need to be treated, can't be treated, and no one is qualified to treat him."

Steve and Stark were silent for a while, and suddenly, Stark said as if he remembered something: "Wait a minute, if the stories of his parents and wife are not true, then who does he want to resurrect?"

Steve opened his eyes wide and looked at Stark, and they suddenly had a bad premonition.

Steve said quickly: "I remember that he had hung that god of the underworld on a coconut tree. Facing the threat of death, the god of the underworld did not help him revive the object he wanted to revive, which means that the object may not be able to be resurrected..."

"Or, if even the god of the underworld cannot revive, then there is only..."

Stark and Steve turned around quickly, and Natasha called them from behind: "Wait! Hydra and Baron Zemo's matter!"

Stark turned around, stretched out his hand and said: "Do you think Hydra is still important now?"

Even Steve said: "I know Hydra, they can only revive the Red Skull at most, and I can fight him again, but if Schiller wants to revive the Soviet Union... God! Stark! Drive quickly and go to the hospital!!!"

The two left in a hurry, not even taking the folder and medal. After the two left, Natasha fiddled with the medal, then took out her mobile phone and called Nick.

"Hello? Director, I guided them as you said, they should believe it, but the story of Schiller's parents and wife is quite true, it's really not..."

Nick snorted coldly from the other end of the phone, he said:

"Wife? He has a fart wife! I guess even the story of his parents is just made up by him, just to deceive heroes like Iron Man and Captain America who are full of sympathy."

"He has been getting together with Loki and Stephen again recently, and he must have found another unlucky guy to cheat him. Mental illness? He will only get mental illness because he can't cheat money!"

"Using fake death and the outbreak of the demon god to force me to show my aerospace mothership, yesterday, the annoying military still took away one of my motherships!"

"Besides, Schiller also killed Baron Zemo. Without this great enemy, what will I do with the funds for the beginning of next year?!"

"Those three liars who lack great virtue actually want to trick Iron Man and Captain America to work for them? No way!"

Natasha shook her head. Obviously, she didn't agree with the number of "three liars".

Natasha fiddled with the medal and said, "Honestly, Chief, where did you get the early version of the Red Flag? It's hard to find."

"Red Flag? What Red Flag? I got the Patriotic Medal. There are medals all over the streets. I took a good-looking one and asked Coulson to deliver it... Coulson! Coulson! What's going on? Did you deliver the wrong medal?"

"You haven't delivered it yet? What are you doing? Wait, your medal hasn't been delivered, what about Natasha... Hey! Hey?... Natasha, are you listening?"

With a "click", the medal fell on the table. Natasha slowly lowered her head and looked at the document left on the table, stunned.
