The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 2661 Hollywood Rhapsody (9)

Chapter 2661 Hollywood Rhapsody (XIX)

It turns out that ordinary people are hypocritical, and Schiller is no exception.

He hated restarting the universe because it would erase the meaning of the existence of all living things in the universe and negate the efforts they made to survive.

But when it came to himself, he felt that it was okay to negate the efforts of himself and his friends a little, because if he didn't do so, they would have to make more meaningless efforts to clean up the mess caused by the current situation.

Of course, Schiller was not crazy enough to restart directly. His idea was actually to let Barry take him through time to remind himself who wanted to take a vacation like an ordinary person not to be too optimistic. It would be better for him to stay in the sanatorium and not go out unless necessary.

Because Schiller was not sure he could convince himself, he needed some evidence to prove that if Schiller went on vacation, it would cause a series of troubles, and the best evidence was the documentary shot by Eddie.

Schiller is now at a point where he has become famous and the documentary has been publicly screened, so he directly copied the video footage and some important analysis short videos, as well as many rumors released by marketing accounts, and went back to the day before he set off for the West Coast.

He put these things on Schiller's desk. When Schiller saw Barry, he understood what was going on. Then he looked at the video materials and was surprised to find that the internet celebrity was actually me.

To be fair, Schiller at any time would not want to get into such trouble, and Schiller, who had not yet set out, had more free time to think about where this chaotic situation would lead.

To be honest, as many people have analyzed, working for law enforcement agencies is not something shameful, and as a professional technician, it is actually difficult to avoid this step.

At least many of the teachers and classmates Schiller knew had such experiences. Whether in the previous life or this life, they could not avoid cooperating with some official agencies and even participated in many confidential projects.

But his family knows their own business. The biggest problem now is that he didn't know at that time that his background story was copied from his previous life, so he made up another background story for himself, that is, he was an immortal Soviet.

He can participate in the work of the FBI as an American, or even as a Chinese-American, but he cannot participate in the work of American law enforcement agencies as an immortal who survived the founding of the Soviet Union.

Then the FBI and SHIELD can't help but ask, what do you want to do? What have you done? What did you do, and why are you hiding it so that we can't find out anything?

This is similar to the fact that what is more terrifying than a cockroach appearing in front of you is that the cockroach appears in front of you for a second and then disappears.

Schiller could fully understand Nick and the FBI director's fears. If he had known that he had such a background story, he would not have made up the rest of it.

However, in order to avenge myself for deleting my memory, these two petty guys, Superego and Pride, dug such a big hole for me to jump into. It took me a long time to finish making up the origin of this Soviet man before I knew the background story of this body.

If you say that it's just a conflict in the background story, it would be fine. Anyway, Schiller never said in person what happened in his past. Everything is speculated by other people. If there are any contradictions, just deny it.

But these two background stories just happen to be well combined.

Nick couldn't figure out why Schiller had chosen to work for law enforcement in the first place—there had to be some reason, just like in his past life, because Schiller didn't seem like someone who would enjoy dealing with law enforcement.

Didn't Nick know his colleagues well? The jobs they could offer were mostly low pay, high workload and far from home, which were all recruitment conditions that Schiller would stay away from. How could Schiller be so kind as to take such a job?

In that case, there must be something shameful going on. Just like the reluctant experts that the FBI often recruits, there must be some opportunity that made Schiller willingly work for them.

But Nick just couldn't find it out.

This is actually because Marvel is a comic book world, and everything that is not focused on here is presented according to the logic of comics.

There is a term in comics called storyboard, which can be understood as the camera in a movie. If the camera is pointed here, the story will be shown here. If it is not pointed here, there will be nothing here.

The explanation of a story is divided into many storyboards, and the time jump between storyboards may be very large. For example, the previous storyboard is when he was a child, and in the next storyboard he is already a young man.

So how do we show the ten years in between? Often it’s through the characters’ dialogues, such as when he looks back on his childhood after he becomes a young man and talks about what he did as a child.

It is common sense to know that a good comic cannot use thousands of storyboards to show every detail of a character from childhood to adolescence to adulthood. The logical structure of the comic world does not support this.

Therefore, the background story written by the superego that conforms to the logical structure of this world is also presented in the form of comics. In other words, the whole story is only edited in a few storyboards.

It's probably about going to college, praying in church, attending celebrity parties, being addicted to drugs, and working for law enforcement.

Although there seem to be few storyboards, the main feature of Marvel comics is quantity. There are too many characters, and many of them only have one or two storyboards in major events. It is quite remarkable for a character to have his own origin story. Many of them have accumulated a nearly complete origin story over decades.

The origin story that Schiller's superego made up is already very complete, but inevitably, many scenes are missing, such as why Schiller worked for law enforcement in the first place.

Some people may think that if it were any other character, Nick would definitely be able to find out something if he checked now, because it is required by the plot, but the prerequisite is that the character must be a native Marvel character.

Nick is a character created by Marvel itself. When the plot requires him, there will naturally be universe managers and editors to help him write other people's background stories so that he can further advance the plot.

The problem is that Schiller is not a Marvel character. His backstory was written by the super-ego. Marvel's universe administrators would not have nothing to do to help him make up the details of his backstory, and the super-ego didn't write it, so of course Nick couldn't find anything.

So this would become a perfect misunderstanding.

Schiller may be an immortal Soviet. Before he met these superheroes, Schiller had dealings with law enforcement for some mysterious reasons that are completely untraceable.

And it was precisely because of this resume that he was able to join S.H.I.E.L.D. and become a psychological advisor to superheroes. He even completely reversed the situation through his own deterrent power during the Superhero Registration Act.

Doesn't that sound like a pretty complete conspiracy?

In fact, this is indeed a complete conspiracy, but it is not a conspiracy of greed, but a conspiracy of petty superego and arrogance.

If it were in the past, Greed would have slammed the table and argued with them about how they could be so petty. It’s okay for you to make it up, but at least open your memory to me so that I can prepare in advance.

But when it came to deleting his memory, he was in the wrong anyway, so he could only admit it and take some rather hypocritical actions to prevent this from happening in advance.

But it turns out that this comic book world does not allow time travel to prevent tragedy from happening.

After Schiller decided to stay in Arkham Sanatorium, a bunch of people came to him tirelessly to invite him, hoping that he would take a vacation and rest.

Schiller wanted to send them away on the pretext of being busy with work, but everyone felt that Schiller shouldn't be so busy and that it would be bad for his mental state, so they insisted on taking him on vacation.

Schiller knew that he couldn't go, so he pretended that his mental state was indeed not good. As a result, everyone became even more worried. After all, Stark actually didn't plan to go.

In the end, it was Schiller who asked Helen and the Guardians of the Galaxy to cooperate with him in acting. Some trouble occurred in the universe and Schiller had to solve it. Only then was Schiller able to get away and not participate in the filming.

As a result, without Schiller's mediation to persuade Steve and Peter to help each other to balance the relationship between Stark and Strange, the tension between the two of them became extremely intense and eventually broke out on the beach.

Stark was already fuming over not being able to attract everyone's attention with his surfing skills, and Strange was still mocking him. Steve and Peter were so busy greeting the new Warriors that they didn't even notice that the two of them were about to fight.

Stark was not wearing armor at the time, but he had done some fitness after all. Strange could use magic without wearing anything, but there were so many people here, so he couldn't just fight, so the two ended up in a draw.

While the two were fighting, the Sandman arrived, and this time it was Strange and Stark who were blown up into the sky.

Strange instinctively used magic to protect himself, but the magic interfered with Stark's path to the armor, and the armor smashed directly into the restaurant bar next to it, causing a huge mess.

This incident was reported in the news on the same day, and the reputations of both people were completely ruined. However, Stark was still anxious and refused to admit his mistake. The two of them started arguing, which caused the trend of public opinion to decline even more.

As expected, the trouble fell on Pepper again. Pepper tried to persuade Stark to apologize, but Stark refused to do so. The two had a big fight and Pepper was so angry that she was hospitalized.

When the news broke, Schiller knew that something was wrong. Now that this group of people had gathered together in this state, something was bound to happen. After thinking about it, he felt that he had to go.

So he asked Barry to take him back to the past and bring all the media and news reports from the first timeline, which was the timeline when Schiller became famous, and the second timeline, which was the timeline when Stark and Strange became famous together, to Schiller in the third timeline.

No. 3 Schiller knew at a glance that he had to go for the photo shoot, because apart from him, it would be difficult for anyone else to handle Stark in this state, and the situation would turn into chaos no matter what.

So he chose to still follow a few people to Hollywood for vacation, but this time his strategy was to remain silent as much as possible, not show his professionalism, and be a nobody who was ignored. This way he should be able to protect himself without causing any trouble.
