Chapter 398 Silence Is New York Tonight (Part 1)
Taking advantage of the time when Arkham Sanatorium did not accept patients, Schiller applied for building repairs for the building used by the sanatorium. The reason for repairs, rather than renovation or reconstruction, is that the building is a historical and cultural protection building.
This old bank is indeed a bit old. When Wall Street had not yet become a prosperous economic center, this ambitious banker chose this place as his base.
After years of wind, frost, rain and snow, the high-rise buildings of Wall Street were piled up little by little in the morning and dusk, with more and more people and cars. When the golden age came, this bank, like all buildings, exuded a prosperous brilliance.
However, with the transfer of the financial center, Wall Street gradually became deserted, and this old bank became older and older.
Schiller likes these things with a sense of age, but this does not mean that he can accept that 9 out of 10 taps here do not produce water, and one of them is full of rust.
This renovation was mainly aimed at the internal water supply and power supply system, as well as the painting and protection of the walls and floors. After the renovation, Schiller returned to his office. Nothing had changed here, but the core was different. For example, he could finally use a higher-power light bulb, and the sink in the small bathroom in the lounge could finally be used.
In addition, many things were preserved, such as the old telephone full of the style of the last century. In the gift package of Krypton Dream Coins, Schiller generously gave Strange a discount and got the "One Phone to All Worlds" technology from him, and also came with a magic version of anti-tracking technology.
In the office at dusk, Schiller stood at the telephone table at the door and said to the other end of the phone: "Yes, I am the doctor."
"You don't have to be polite to me. I guess you are fiddling with a strange machine now, trying to use it to track my mobile phone signal, but I want to tell you that you are wasting your energy."
"Don't use a silly smile to cover up your embarrassment at this moment. Turn your head and look at your other screen and tell me, what is displayed on it?"
A cold voice came from the other side: "Don't think that we can't find your address like this..."
"Call me again when you find my address."
Schiller hung up the phone, but he still stood at the table and didn't leave. Two seconds later, the phone rang again.
"Hello, I'm a doctor." Schiller's opening remarks remained unchanged. The person on the other side seemed to sigh slightly. He said, "Doctor, I admit that you are a powerful guy. I didn't expect that Pierce, the old fox who is good at maintaining the status quo, would create an extremist and ambitious person like you."
"This is the second funniest thing I have heard so far this year. Before calling me an extremist, can you change your German accent first?"
The person on the other side didn't seem to want to follow Schiller's train of thought. He didn't care about Schiller's very guiding words, but changed the subject and said, "Doctor, do you know that you have caused dissatisfaction with the headquarters by attacking important people in the same region?"
"So what?"
"Please stop your behavior immediately, turn to silence, and wait for the investigators from the headquarters."...
"You are not qualified to investigate me." Schiller denied the proposal of the person on the other side very straightforwardly. He said, "I just We are clearing out some parasites that are just sitting there doing nothing for the organization."
The tone of the person on the other end remained unchanged, and he didn't seem to be angry about Schiller's attitude. He just said without any emotion: "If you find any violations by them, you need to submit a report to the headquarters. After approval, there will be special supervisors to deal with it..."
Schiller switched the phone and said, "Do you want to hear what violations they have first?"
"...What?"
Schiller put down the phone, turned around and took out a document from the bookshelf next to him, and then said, "Evan Brown, former congressman, important official of the Treasury Department, Federal Reserve member, head of the IRS tax collection section..."
"At the same time, he is also one of us, in charge of all financial affairs of Hydra's New York State region."
"Is there anything wrong with him?"
"He is a KGB, and he is from the Soviet era."
The person on the other end was silent.
Schiller turned another page and said, "Mabry Cueto, I don't want to talk about his resume, but I don't quite understand how you dare to recruit someone who graduated from Trinity College, Cambridge University?"
"Sophia Smith, has 25 medical records in Moscow."
"Hans Todd, went to St. Petersburg for vacation 12 times a year."
"Dominic Johnson, raised a Siberian forest cat..."
"Wait." The person on the other side finally couldn't help it, and he said, "Forest cats count?"
"I saw in the supervision manual that any clues related to left-leaning tendencies must be reported. In December 1977, the New York State organization reported 67 suspected clues about cats and dogs. Among them, 66 pets of organization members were identified as having Russian descent, and the investigation results showed that they were all dealt with."
The other side was silent again.
"You and I should all understand that this is just a means of internal strife. This excuse is very useful." The person on the other side seemed to be showing his hand. He said: "I know you want to kill those who hinder you from getting promoted, but this time you are a bit too much. The loss of so many important people will cause the organizational structure to collapse."
"So, did it collapse?"
The person on the other side was silent again.
"This is the funniest joke I have heard this year. I killed more than 30 important people lurking in New York State by Hydra, and then nothing happened."
"The operation of the organization has not been affected at all. On the contrary, after losing 67% of the manpower, the entire New York State's expenditure has decreased by more than 40%, but work efficiency has doubled."
The person on the other side has not spoken since the last silence. Finally, Schiller said: "I guess you called me without the consent of the headquarters."
"But as you said, you and I know who is dragging down Hydra now, those who have come from the last century , still holding on to their rigid rules, but the times have changed.
"They tell the new generation, 'You are wrong to do this, 'You are wrong to do that, 'You must do as we do,' but the fact is that they have never succeeded in any period of history."...
"Their proudest achievement is killing Captain America, the representative of the American spirit, but you should have heard that Captain America is still alive. Not only that, there are Spider-Man and Iron Man, and they have formed a hero team to drive us crazy."
"What do you want?" the person on the other side asked.
"If you are in Germany, take care of your business there and don't bother me."
"Do you know Mrs. Hydra?" the person on the other side suddenly asked. Schiller was silent for a moment and said, "Of course I know."
"You have touched her interests. She should be looking for trouble with you soon."
The tone of the other side became serious: "I don't know if you have ever been exposed to this kind of thing, but I want to tell you that Mrs. Hydra has extraordinary power. It is not the physical power of Captain America, but a more mysterious magical power."
"Some people say that she signed a contract with a devil, so she has the ability to live forever. The most terrible thing is that she can poison."
"You'd better not think that she can't hurt you if we can't find you. I advise you to Be careful. "
"You don't have to beat around the bush with me." Schiller interrupted him and said, "In the beginning. You wanted to find out my address, because if you knew where I was, you could sell me to Mrs. Hydra and get a lot of money from her."
"But you found that you couldn't find me, so you thought that I had a chance to win in the confrontation between me and Mrs. Hydra, and you chose to bet on both sides, both to please her and to appease me."
"If I'm not mistaken, you have another phone in your hand, which should be on your left hand, or above your left hand. The number has been dialed and you just need to dial it. Once my address is displayed on the screen in front of you, you will immediately dial that phone and tell the person on the other end of the address."
Schiller suddenly changed the subject and said, " Do you like Siberian forest cats? "
The other party was silent for dozens of seconds before answering: "No."
"I like them very much. I think they are cute. If necessary, I can talk to someone who has similar hobbies as me."
After that, Schiller hung up the phone, but he still did not leave. After two seconds, the phone rang again. The person on the other end finally couldn't hold back the calm tone. He said: "I advise you not to do that. You are hurting others and not benefiting yourself. Do you think they will let you go?"
"Will Mrs. Hydra let me go?"
The other party didn't know how many times he had been silent, but the questions Schiller threw out always made him feel unable to answer. He took a deep breath and said: "I will go and talk to Ophelia..."
Schiller said calmly: "You can't talk to her, because she won't pay any attention to you. You are just a humble and pitiful beggar who wants to beg for food from her."
"You can't give me any advice, and you have no right to advise me. The win or loss between us has nothing to do with you. No matter who wins, you will be the one who is swallowed up."
"What you have to do now is to put down the phone, turn off the screen, give up those ambitions and ideas that are hovering in your mind, hide back in the dark and narrow nest, and wait for death."...
After saying that, Schiller hung up the phone and walked back to the table. After a while, he took out his mobile phone and called the Holy of Holies. The operator there said politely: "Dear guest Mr. Rodriguez, may I help you transfer to the Supreme Mage?"
"No, I hope you can help me investigate a Hungarian. Her name is Ophelia, codenamed Mrs. Hydra, also known as Viper. Who is her contractor? Can I contact her now? ”
“Can you provide some basic information about her? It is a little difficult to find the demon from the contractor. You may need to wait a while. ”
"It should be a demon god related to destruction, ruin and darkness. In addition, she is immortal and good at making poison."
"Please wait."
After a pleasant waiting tone, the operator on the other end said: "Hello, I have checked that her contract should be with the client we just contacted, the great demon Xisong."
"Have you signed Xisong as well?"
"It's just a preliminary cooperation intention. The specific matters will be communicated by Scarlet Witch Wanda."
"Where is she now?"
"Sky Island in the Andromeda Galaxy, expected to return in a week."
"Please contact her for me, I have a business to discuss."
"Okay, please wait."
After another waiting tone, a pleasant female voice sounded on the other end: "Hello, hello, I'm Wanda."
Schiller said to the other end of the phone: "Hello, Miss Wanda, I'm Schiller Rodriguez, and I'm also the general manager of Hydra's New York State Region."
"I have a business to discuss with you."
