Chapter 397: Silence Is New York Tonight (Part I)
Taking advantage of the fact that the Arkham Sanatorium was not accepting patients, Schiller applied for architectural repairs to the building used in the sanatorium, which was repaired, rather than renovated or rebuilt, because the building was a historically protected building.
The old bank is indeed a few years old, and the ambitious banker has chosen this place to base himself at a time when Wall Street was not yet a bustling economic center.
After years of weather, rain and snow, Wall Street high-rise buildings piled up in the early morning and dusk, more and more people and cars, and when the golden age came, this bank, like all buildings, exuded prosperity.
But with the shift of the financial center, Wall Street gradually declined, and the old bank became more and more old.
Schiller likes these old things, but that doesn't mean he can accept that 9 out of 10 faucets don't come out of the water, and one is full of rust.
After the repair, Schiller returned to his office, where nothing had changed, but the kernel was different, such as the power bulb and the sink in the small bathroom in the lounge.
In addition, many things have been preserved, such as the old telephone full of the style of the last century, and in the gift package of Krypton Dream Coins, Schiller gave Strange a very generous discount, from him to get the technology of "one phone to all worlds", and also came with a magical version of anti-tracking technology.
In the evening in the office, Schiller stood at the telephone desk in the doorway and said to the other end of the line, "Yes, I am the doctor." ”
"You don't have to be polite to me, I guess you're probably fiddling with a strange machine right now, trying to track my cell phone signal, but I'm telling you, you're wasting your efforts."
"Don't hide your embarrassment with a giggle, turn your head and look at your other screen and tell me, what's on it?"
A cold voice came from the other side: "Don't think that we won't be able to find your address this way......"
"Call me again when you find my address."
With that, Schiller hung up the phone, but he was still standing at the table, and two seconds later, the phone rang again.
"Hey, hello, I'm a doctor." Schiller still had the same opening remarks, and the person opposite seemed to sigh slightly, and he said: "Doctor, I admit, you are a great fellow, I did not expect that Pierce, the old fox who is more than well-guarded, would make you such an extremist careerist." ”
"This is the second funniest thing I've heard this year, can you change your German accent before you say I'm an extremist?"
The person on the other side didn't seem to want to follow Schiller's train of thought, he didn't pay attention to Schiller's very guiding words, but changed the subject and said: "Doctor, do you know that your attack on important people in the same region has caused dissatisfaction in the headquarters?" ”
"So what?"
"Please stop your actions immediately, turn to silence, and wait for the investigators at headquarters."
"You're not in a position to investigate me." Schiller very flatly dismissed the suggestion of the person opposite, saying, "I'm just removing some moths from the cadaveric meal for the organization." ”
The tone of the person on the other side remained the same, and he didn't seem to be angry at Schiller's attitude, but said without emotion: "If you find any violations of the rules, you need to submit a report to the headquarters, and after approval, there will be special inspectors to deal with it......"
Schiller shifted the phone to one side and said, "Would you like to hear what they are doing first?" ”
“…… What? ”
Schiller put down the phone, turned around and took out a document from the bookshelf next to him, and said, "Evan Brown, former congressman, key Treasury official, Federal Reserve commissioner, IRS Commissioner ......"
"At the same time, he's one of our team and oversees all of Hydra's finances in New York State."
"Is there anything wrong with him?"
"He's a KGB, and it's Soviet."
The person on the other side was silent.
Schiller turned another page, and he said, "Marbury Cuito, I don't want to talk about his resume, but I don't quite understand, how dare you recruit a man who graduated from Trinity College, Cambridge University?" ”
"Sophia Smith, who has had 25 visits in Moscow."
"Hans Todd, went on vacation to St. Petersburg 12 times a year."
"Dominic Johnson, who has a Siberian forest cat......"
"Wait." The person on the other side finally couldn't help it, and he said, "Forest cats are also counted?" ”
"I read in the watchbook that any leads related to left-leaning tendencies must be reported, and in a month in December 1977, organizations in New York State reported 67 suspected leads about cats and dogs, and 66 of the group's members had pets identified as having Russian ancestry, and the results of the investigation showed that they were all dealt with."
There was silence again.
"You and I should both understand that this is just a means of internal strife, and this excuse is very useful." The person on the other side also seemed to have a showdown, he said: "I know you want to kill those who stand in the way of your ascension, but this time you are a little too much, and the lack of so many important people at once will collapse the organizational structure." ”
"So, did it collapse?"
The person on the other side was silent again.
"This is the first funny joke I've heard this year, I took out more than 30 important people in New York State where Hydra lurked, and then, nothing happened."
"The organization didn't run in the slightest, but instead after losing 67 percent of its staff, the entire state saw more than 40 percent less spend and twice as much productivity."
The person on the other side had not spoken since the last silence, and finally, Schiller said, "I guess you called me without the permission of headquarters." ”
"But like you said, you and I both know who is dragging Hydra down now, those who have come from the last century, and still cling to their rigid rules, but now times have long since changed."
"They say to the new generation, 'It's not right for you to do this,' 'It's not right to do that,' 'You have to do what we do,' but the truth is, they haven't succeeded in any part of history."
"Their proudest feat was to take out Captain America, the representative of the American spirit, but you should have been informed by now that Captain America is still alive. Not only that, but there are also more Spider-Man and Iron Man, and they have also set up a team of heroes to make us fly. ”
"What do you want?" The person on the other side asked.
"If you're in Germany, take care of your business and don't bother me."
"Do you know Lady Hydra?" The person on the other side suddenly asked, and Schiller was silent for a moment and said, "Of course I know." ”
"You've touched her interests, and she should be about to get into trouble with you."
The other person's tone became serious: "I don't know if you've been exposed to this matter, but I'll tell you that Lady Hydra has a power beyond ordinary people, not the physical power of Captain America, but a more mysterious magical power." ”
"Legend has it that she made a pact with a certain devil, so she has the ability to live forever, and the most terrifying thing is that she will be poisoned."
"You'd better not think that if we can't find you, she won't hurt you, and I advise you to be cautious."
"You don't have to beat around the bush with me." Schiller interrupted him and said, "At first." You want to find out where I am, because if you know where I am, you can sell me to Lady Hydra for a good pay. ”
"But you found that you couldn't find me, so you think that I have a chance to win the confrontation between me and Lady Hydra, and you choose to bet on both ends to please her and appease me."
"If I'm not mistaken, you have another phone on your hand, it should be on your left hand, or above your left hand, and the number has been pressed, just waiting to be dialed, and as soon as my address is displayed on the screen in front of you, you will immediately dial that phone and tell the person on the other side of the address."
Schiller suddenly changed the subject and said, "Do you like Siberian forest cats?" ”
The other side was silent for dozens of seconds before replying, "No." ”
"I like them, I think they're cute, and if necessary, I can talk to someone who has a similar hobby to me."
After saying that, Schiller hung up the phone, but he still didn't leave, and after two seconds, the phone rang again, and the person on the other side finally couldn't hold back that calm tone, he said: "I advise you not to do that, you are hurting others and yourself, do you think they will let you go?" ”
"Will Lady Hydra let me go?"
The other side didn't know how many times he had been silent, but the questions that Schiller threw always made him feel unanswerable, he took a deep breath, and then said, "I'll go talk to Ophelia......"
Schiller said calmly, "You can't talk to her, because she won't pay attention to you at all, you're just a lowly and pitiful beggar who wants to beg for something to eat from her." ”
"You can't give me any advice, and you don't have any right to advise me, it has nothing to do with you whether we win or lose, and no matter which of us wins, you are the one who is annexed."
"All you have to do now is put down the phone, turn off the screen, give up the ambitions and thoughts that are hovering in your head, and hide in the dark and narrow lair to die."
After saying that, Schiller hung up the phone, then walked back to the table, and after a while, he took out his mobile phone and called the Holy of Holies on the other side, where the operator said politely: "Honorable guest Mr. Rodriguez, would I like to help you transfer to the Supreme Master?" ”
"No, I want you to help me investigate a Hungarian, her name is Ophelia, her code name is Lady Hydra, also known as Viper, who is her contractor? Can you get in touch now? ”
"Can you provide some basic information about her? It's a little difficult to find the Demon God from the Contractor, and you may need to wait a while. ”
"It should be a demon god associated with destruction, destruction, and darkness, in addition. She is immortal and good at making drugs. ”
"Wait a minute."
After a pleasant waiting sound, the operator on the other side spoke: "Hello, I have found out, she should be the customer we just contacted, the Great Shadow Sithorne." ”
"You signed Sithorne too?"
"It's just that there is a preliminary intention to cooperate, and the specific matters are communicated by Wanda the Scarlet Witch."
"Where is she now?"
"Sky Island in the Andromeda Galaxy, expected to return in a week."
"Help me contact her, I have a business to discuss."
"Okay, please wait."
After another waiting sound, a pleasant female voice sounded on the other side: "Hey, 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 head of Hydra's New York Region. ”
"I have a business to talk to you about."
