Chapter 1894: Tin Cans Clinking (Part 7)

As another gold and red Iron Man mech landed, the Ultimate Iron Man's face sank. His mind was like lightning, and he immediately saw that this mech was different from the Mark series he had built before.

The light line on the visor flashed twice, and the Ultimate Iron Man opened the visor first. He squinted his eyes slightly, looked at the person opposite with white eyes and said: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

"This is the question I want to ask you." With a click, the visor of the Iron Man opposite also opened. When the two almost identical faces faced each other, it can be seen that the Iron Man wearing the gold and red mech is younger.

"It was you who took Schiller away, right?" Stark asked.

Suddenly, he recalled what happened after they parted in the German valley that day.

Stark stood in the center of the valley and watched Schiller and Nick get on the plane together. He was silent for a long time, because he finally realized that Schiller was right. He had been imagining Schiller as a victim without any resistance.

But the ability Schiller showed and the past he revealed showed that he had the ability to resist and even control the situation from beginning to end. He was not a hero, but he must be a strong man.

Stark knew that Schiller's life experience might not be entirely true, but he could also infer from the current situation that Schiller was indeed very familiar with Hydra, SHIELD, FBI and other institutions, and was good at wandering in the cracks, and even holding the thin and thin silk thread to weave a big net, manipulate people's hearts and capture prey.

But this made Stark curious again. Who is he? Where is he from? Which ones are true and which ones are false? What is the purpose of approaching him?

Stark was eager to find Schiller to ask these questions, but what surprised him even more was that Schiller did not appear in the cross-examination seat for the trial of Pierce.

This was very abnormal. Even if Stark didn't understand the twists and turns of power struggles, he knew that this was Schiller's best chance to whitewash himself, and he didn't even have to be a tainted witness.

In order to smoothly take over the position of director of SHIELD and stabilize the situation of SHIELD, Nick would be happy to make a deal with Schiller, the biggest witness. As long as Schiller modifies the testimony more seriously and incites the emotions of the jury, it can ensure that Pierce will never get out again.

Then Nick can completely whitewash his identity, for example, he was framed by Pierce, or simply say that the doctor is his secret informant, and his previous arrest was just a part of the plan.

This can not only confirm Pierce's guilt, but also enhance Nick's status, showing his shrewdness, seriousness and responsibility in work.

Stark had made up his mind to intercept Schiller after the court trial and ask him the answers to all the questions, but Schiller did not come.

Stark went to ask Nick what was going on, Nick kept silent and said nothing. A spy chief wanted to hide something, and Stark could not ask it out, so he had to return to Stark Group angrily and frustrated.

But at this moment, Pepper found him, showed him the email address he had used to find someone, and said, "I had already cancelled the email address, and the emails that were retained were all on the mirror website, but who knew that the employee just notified me that someone had restored the previous webpage and sent a new email to this email address."

Pepper handed the phone to Stark and said, "Although this email says Tony Stark, there is no password set. The employee clicked it, but it was all garbled. See if it was sent by your scientist friend or something."

Stark took the phone with some doubts, and sure enough, he found an email at the top of the mailbox. After opening it, it was garbled in English. Stark instinctively felt that this might be sent by Schiller.

He asked Pepper for the URL of the restored email address, flipped through it, and then found that the email was sent at exactly the same time as the email Schiller sent to Pepper to provide the address of the abandoned base, both at 22:06 in the evening.

Stark confirmed that the last email was indeed left by Schiller. Stark thought that there might be clues to Schiller's whereabouts, and then he began to crack the garbled code.

He tried many ways to read the information from the garbled code, but the combination of English and symbols was completely irregular, and there was no clue around. Stark even used the exhaustive method, running the supercomputer for several days and nights, but he couldn't combine regular words and phrases.

Stark did not think that the time of sending the email might be a clue, but whether he selected letters according to numbers or arranged the symbols according to 2206, he could not get a relevant answer.

On this day, Stark stared at the email in front of the computer again, with cold light shining on his eyes. Suddenly, he seemed to understand something. He stood up and stared at all the garbled codes, and then leaned down again and started typing on the keyboard.

"What if it is not readable text, but graphics?" Stark muttered while operating the computer quickly.

His eyes mapped the letters on the screen, and soon one letter after another was combined to form a pattern that was somewhat familiar to Stark. It was an eagle with its wings spread. But the special thing was that Stark's familiarity with it came from the fact that it was the logo of a cigarette brand from the Reynolds Tobacco Company that produced Camel cigarettes, and the name was Winston.

Stark doesn't smoke much, but he is very familiar with this brand because it is Howard's favorite brand. When Stark was young, he often saw Howard put the cigarette box of this brand of cigarettes high up. Because of curiosity, Stark took it down and looked at it.

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

Stark suddenly felt confused. Schiller made such a complicated code just to show him a cigarette brand pattern?

But suddenly, he realized that this couldn't be a coincidence. Compared with the more popular Camel or Good Luck cigarettes, Winston's sales volume is not low, but it is not as well-known as the above two brands, and it is not distributed in the army. Smoking this brand of cigarettes can be said to be a relatively niche hobby.

So how did Schiller know the brand of cigarettes Howard liked? Did Schiller know Howard?

But now Schiller is nowhere to be found, and Stark has no place to ask, which makes him more and more anxious, and he just looks at the pattern repeatedly.

Then he thought that Schiller left this pattern not simply to tell him that he knew his father, because it was meaningless. Howard was dead, so what would it matter if he knew him?

Stark couldn't figure it out, and then he thought that since the clue was related to Howard, he would go back to the old house of the Stark family to see if he could find any clues?

He didn't find Schiller's clues, but he found the video left by Howard and the sand table that inspired the new element.

Because Schiller changed the course of history, this Stark did not have the Ark reactor embedded in his chest, but his previous idea of ​​unmanned mecha did need energy to drive it, but so far, he has not found a good energy source, and the clues of the new element inspired him.

So everything got on the right track, and the Iron Man of this universe still developed a new suit like most Iron Man, but still couldn't find any clues about Schiller.

But at this time, the King of Wakanda, Black Panther, came to him and offered to provide Stark with enough vibranium to improve the armor. He said that this was the reward Schiller proposed.

Stark was almost like an ant on a hot pot. On the one hand, Iron Man was a person who didn't like to owe favors to others. If the other party helped him, he would definitely repay tenfold, but Schiller didn't give him a chance to repay.

On the other hand, he also wanted to know why Schiller wanted to help him, and he had even decided to help him when he made a deal with Black Panther. In other words, they were not strangers who met by chance from the beginning. Schiller knew him, but he didn't know Schiller.

This information gap made Stark almost crazy. He put on a new battle suit and rushed into Nick's office regardless of anything, asking him to give an explanation. In the end, Nick sighed and had to show Stark a video.

The video was only three seconds long, but it clearly showed the process of Schiller disappearing out of thin air. Nick was not a technician and couldn't say anything, but Stark believed that the flash of white light was a time-space tunnel, and Schiller was very likely to have gone to another universe.

Stark didn't have portal technology for the time being, but he knew that the development of this technology would not be completed in a day or two, so he became even more angry. He was angry that Schiller left without saying a word, and he was also angry that he didn't even leave a coordinate, and he didn't know when he could find him.

What happened later was just like other universes. Iron Man became a superhero, and Nick invited Iron Man to join a mysterious superhero organization as before.

But there was a small episode, that is, Iron Man met Spider-Man, and it was very coincidental that Spider-Man was contacted by the spider web not long after being bitten by a spider, and also joined the Spider Legion and became a member of the glorious credit-brushing army.

At this time, Spider-Man was still a high school student and had no defensive psychology. At that time, Iron Man was already a very famous superhero. He didn't think much about it, and directly told Stark about the multiverse Spider-Man, and said that he planned to visit the central universe this summer vacation.

When Stark heard this, didn't this opportunity to go to other universes come? So he hurriedly asked Spider-Man to help him open the channel. He wanted to go to other universes to find someone. This Spider-Man had just joined the Spider Corps not long ago and didn't know the rules very well, so he asked other Spider-Men directly.

Spider-Silk was going to refuse. After all, rules are rules. If anyone can go through the channel of the Spider Totem, it will be a mess. Other Spider-Men didn't agree with it either, because the Corps had already argued about the Ultimate Iron Man before, and they were formulating more stringent on-the-job training.

Spider-Man felt a little frustrated, but didn't say much. He just said occasionally that the Iron Man in their universe was going to other universes to find a doctor named Schiller.

When Schiller's name came out, the Spider-Men present exchanged glances for about half a minute, and their attitudes changed 180 degrees. They decided on the spot that they could go, go immediately, and go now.

Stark was originally going to teleport to Earth, but when the Spider-Man in the central universe heard that he was looking for Schiller, he pointed out a clear way for him, saying that Schiller was not on Earth now, and he could go to Centauri, which was the place with the most information in the universe.

Just like that, as soon as Stark landed in Centauri wearing the latest generation of vibranium iron battle suit, he scanned an abnormal signal and flew directly over the base of Ultimate Iron Man, and saw Schiller's back as he walked into the instrument.
