Chapter 385 Schiller Is Ill (Part 2)

At sunset, the coastline of New York was covered in the brilliance of the setting sun, as if there was a heavy snowfall made of gold foil last night. Not far from the coast, a cruise ship was slowing down.

It can be seen from the appearance that this is a luxury cruise ship, and after the light gradually dims, the cabin lights up brilliantly, and the people taking the yacht out to sea quietly enjoy the coming night.

On the restaurant terrace in a prime location on the second deck, two figures in suits were sitting at the edge of the dining table. Grant was playing with the food on the plate absentmindedly, and Schiller had finished his meal and was leaning back on his chair. Watch the sunset with the sea breeze.

After a while, he stood up. Grant said nothing and followed behind him. Schiller quickly walked through the restaurant and walked through the dance floor where people were coming and going. From the gentlemen and ladies in elegant clothes, and the dim light reflected by the exquisite glassware.

He came to the corridor of the cruise ship cabin. After standing in front of a door, he knocked on the door. Schiller's voice sounded at the same time as the door opened. He said: "The moment you see me, you will I thought you were discovered by SHIELD, but on the contrary, Nick tracked you down, but I hid the past for you, Alexander Pierce."

An old man with half-white hair appeared behind the door. He was stunned for a moment after hearing Schiller's words, but when he saw Grant Ward standing outside the door and the gun he already held in his hand, he knew he had no choice. .

For a moment, Pierce seemed to have aged several years. He no longer looked as high-spirited as he did at the Security Council seat. He slowly stepped back and allowed Schiller to walk in.

Schiller raised his head, looked around the room, and said, "I know what you are going to say to me, 'The most dangerous place is the safest place,' but the reality is that you don't want to go to those places where Suffering in a dark and tidal underground fortress, the risk of hiding on a cruise ship is described as your foresight and foresight. "

"You know that you were always lucky when you did this kind of thing before. Every time after you survived, you would tell yourself to change the method next time. But after so many years, you still only know this trick. , Pierce, you and I both know why you are alive today.”

Pierce's face became extremely ugly. He had never heard such sharp words that directly pierced his heart in his life. Agents like to be straightforward and don't like to waste time, but they don't like to pry into other people's hearts, and they rarely do anything. Bring up this topic in conversation.

But the psychiatrist in front of him didn't seem to have such scruples, which just showed that he came with bad intentions.

Pierce quickly adjusted his state. He knew that a fierce battle was waiting for him next. Schiller shot him without opening the door, which showed that the two of them still had something to talk about.

In the same night, Stark took off his mecha and was reading a book in front of the experimental table. He rubbed his fingers with his fingers, shook his head and said, "If I hadn't put those things together overnight, After memorizing all the messy game theory, I may not have the patience to sit here and read these books related to mental illness and psychology.”

"Sir, I suggest you not to get too involved. People often like to bring cases in psychology and psychiatry into themselves, which may affect your emotions."

"It seems that your current level is much better than mine, but I want to say that I will catch up with you soon, Jarvis." Stark didn't take it seriously at all.

"Originally, I had no interest in this kind of thing, but Schiller's performance today made me very suspicious. Just like the conclusion you came to, he seemed to be a completely different person. This does not seem to be explained by multiple personalities, and you He said there was nothing wrong with his body and that his veins and nerve structures were exactly the same in the scan."

"If he is really sick, then I will find a way to cure his disease. If he is replaced by Hydra, then I will expose this conspiracy and rescue him. Think about his expression. How exciting, haha!”

Stark laughed twice and continued to read, but as he looked, his expression became a little strange. He held the page between his two fingers and turned it over, and asked hesitantly: "Jarvis, Did you learn the part about anxiety?"

"Yes, I have more detailed information here, do you want to hear it?"

"No, no need." Stark replied immediately. He bit the inside of his lower lip, shook his neck slightly, pushed his spine back, and then said faster: "I'm fine now. , If you had learned this trick earlier, maybe I wouldn’t have been blackmailed by that vampire doctor.”

Jarvis was silent and didn't speak. Stark tried to divert his attention back and continued to read, but looking at him he asked again: "What kind of disease is this? Narcissistic personality disorder? Narcissistic personality disorder?" Is it considered a disease?"

“Malignant narcissism can lead to violent behavior and refers to an extreme self-centeredness that harms other people…”

Stark was silent for a moment and said, "Do you think I'm narcissistic?"

"I can't answer that question."

"Okay, I understand, you don't need to say anything." Stark put his elbows on the table and put his fingers on his forehead and said: "I admit, I am a little bit, but it shouldn't be to the level of malignancy. ?”

Then he continued to look down, and after a while he said: "Bipolar disorder? This is a bit..."

Stark shook his head and sighed while scrolling down. After a while, he said:

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"Post-traumatic stress disorder...you know? These manifestations written here..."

Stark pointed at a few lines of text in the book with the tip of his finger and said: "Re-experiencing trauma, heightened alertness, avoidance, etc., this reminds me of a person..."

tomato novel

Stark was silent again. Within two minutes, he closed the book with a "snap", then leaned his back on the chair and raised his head, saying: "Jarvis, you are right, I will Shouldn't watch this at night."

Suddenly, he sat up straight again, then opened the book again, turned out the first few pages, and plunged into the ocean of knowledge until dawn.

The next morning, as soon as Steve walked into the SHIELD cafeteria, he saw Stark poking his head behind the buffet. He walked over, patted Stark, and asked him: "What's wrong with you?"

Stark rolled his eyelids, looked him up and down, and said, "Nothing, I'm waiting for you."

"Wait for me, what are you waiting for me for?"

"Have you forgotten? We still have one very important thing to talk about, which is about your good friend..."

Steve turned to get the dinner plate and did not respond to the topic. Stark narrowed his eyes and said, "Even if he was brainwashed by Hydra, it can't erase the fact that he has hurt innocent people. ”

"But he saved more people. He was once a brave warrior, but he just encountered an accident..." Steve picked out the bread with a food folder, and Stark stood on the other side of the dining table, pressing the ear. The headset whispered: "Jarvis, did you see that? He just picked up the same piece of bread and put it down three times."

"But what if, among the innocent people he killed, there was another friend of yours?"

"Impossible." Steve denied it subconsciously, but Stark continued: "Is it impossible, or are you unwilling to imagine?"

"Let's not talk about this." Steve turned around to put the food folder and said very quickly: "This is not the right topic to talk about during dinner. Let's go sit over there."

Stark was surprised to find that when he talked about this issue again, he was looking at Steve's reaction from a more objective or critical perspective, and he discovered more clues from it, which he had seen before. Details never noticed.

The two walked to the dining table and sat down. In the past, Captain America would be the more talkative one, but today the situation seemed to be reversed. Stark took the initiative and said, "How did you meet him? You two were together." Joining the army?"

If it were in the past, Steve would happily tell the story of how he was almost eliminated when he joined the army, but was lucky enough to be selected. He had told Peter this countless times, and he was always in high spirits every time he talked about it.

But this time, Steve just lowered his head and took a bite of the sandwich. When the lettuce leaves inside fell off, he subconsciously wanted to bite it with his mouth, but suddenly stopped his movement, as if he felt that this was a bit uncomfortable. Decent.

Stark had been watching his movements, and he found that Steve was now in an anxious defensive posture, clamping his arms, putting his elbows on the table, and blocking his body with his arms, although he was holding a It was a sandwich, but you could tell from the tense muscles in his arms that he was feeling nervous now.

Stark has rarely seen Steve in this state. Captain America always seems to be sunny, confident, and talkative. He can chat about any topic, is funny, and has an amiable attitude.

But now, he was in a state that was familiar to Stark, as he was also like this when he had anxiety attacks.

He thought about it carefully, and it was not the first time he had seen Steve in this state, but before, he had ignored all these details.

Then, Stark contacted himself again. Was he the same when facing the psychiatrist? The symptoms are almost written on your face? "

Suddenly, he felt dumbfounded. He seemed to be able to feel the absurd and helpless feeling in Schiller's heart when he first asked him if he could read minds.

Stark suddenly realized that if the words hovering in his mouth were spit out, they should be able to stimulate Steve and make him fall into more extreme anxiety, just like a knife piercing his weak side. Sharp sword.

This actually made him feel more painful than hundreds of missile bombardments, but Stark did not speak in the end.

He changed the subject and said, "Let's talk about the work of the Avengers. How are we going to target Hydra next?"

Steve took a big bite of the sandwich, chewed it hard, and then swallowed it. It was like he didn't know what to do now, so he put all his energy into a very simple thing to make himself look occupied. Dry.

"You said before that the assassination of important officials might be related to Hydra?" Steve asked.

"That's right, I don't think it's such a coincidence. Just when we were giving Hydra a head-on blow, there happened to be so many assassinations."

"Then let's start from here. As long as it is a murder, it will definitely leave traces. If we find out who the murderer is, we might be able to figure out the reasons for these changes in Hydra."

Stark found that after coming to the field where he was more proficient, Steve's nervous state eased a little. He put his elbows wider, held the sandwich lower, and then showed his face.

He suddenly remembered Schiller talking to him about mechas. Stark had a strange feeling, as if it was at that moment, just like now.

"One more thing, do you remember what you told me before? If you find that a person suddenly becomes a little strange, you can't rule out the possibility that he has been replaced by Hydra."

"Yesterday, I used Jarvis to analyze Schiller's behavioral logic. Jarvis's data told me that the overlap rate between him and the Schiller we knew before is very low."

Steve shook his head, which was beyond Stark's expectations. Then he heard Steve say: "If he was really replaced, the overlap rate could not be so low. He must have disguised himself to be very similar to the original Dr. Schiller, but there are some clues that are different."

"And it is impossible that the whole person is like a different person. Doesn't that tell us that he has been replaced?"

"What if they predicted our prediction?"

"Then Hydra has already ruled the world."
