Chapter 2676 Hollywood Rhapsody (Thirty-four)
Stark was sitting on a chair in the Stark Tower office with his feet up and watching the video. Pepper, who was standing outside the door, sighed and said to Obadiah: "Sir, I know he looks a bit uneducated. He looks like an incompetent internet-addicted boy, but at least he is no longer anxious and will not pay too much attention to me. He stretches his neck to fight with others like a turkey in mating period. That’s a good thing.”
Obadiah stretched his head and took a look inside, frowning and curling his lips, looking slightly disgusted, but he glanced at Pepper again and said, "Well, at least he won't bother you anymore. Just watch the short video." Just brush it, but you have to remind him not to stay up late, the medical budget cannot increase again next season.”
Pepper nodded. After Obadiah left, she immediately picked up her phone and said cheerfully to the opposite party: "Wanda, are you free this afternoon? How about asking Pamela to go shopping together? I'm going Bring back the sample of the invitation style I saw last time..."
"Oh, him." Pepper tilted her head and shook her hair back, then glanced at the office door and said, "He is addicted to Tiktok recently. He spends several hours every day watching short videos, and he also created his own account. From time to time, I just go shoot some videos to attract fans, and don’t care about me..."
"Oh my god, I wish he was like this. Short videos are really a good cure for anxiety. He finally stopped caring about me like an alien baby. Otherwise, how could I have a free afternoon."
"Okay, I'll drive to pick you up. Ah, I mean let Jarvis drive to pick you up. Let's meet at the same place."
Stark was scrolling through short videos online, and soon a voice came from the screen.
"...That's right, I checked the dropout list of Columbia University Medical School, and I couldn't find the name of Dr. Schiller Rodriguez at all, nor was it on the dropout list. This is obviously the same as his classmates who broke the news. The time of the year's leave of absence is completely inconsistent..."
"I guess someone deleted the doctor's experience during this period. This may have something to do with his cooperation with law enforcement. However, it is doubtful that if he simply cooperated with the FBI and provided them with technical support, why Do you want to erase the existence of these records? Or is there something hidden in this?”
Stark sat up straight and stared at the screen without blinking.
Soon, another voice came from the screen. It was someone reviewing the video of the person who just spoke, and he obviously had more to say.
"I investigated a traffic accident witness report in Brooklyn. Pay attention here. Here is a report of a drag racing accident from the A02 section to the E63a section. The owner of the vehicle is named Alex Lyons."
"I researched the name and found out that he was the captain of the football team at Columbia University in the same class as Dr. Rodriguez. This man was imprisoned for intentional injury in 2006 and six other charges including drug trafficking in 2009. He was charged and imprisoned, but he has not yet been released from prison.”
"But the crime he committed later is not the point. What is important is that when this traffic accident involving drag racing occurred, Alex had a sufficient alibi."
“In the spring semester of that year, Columbia University won a home football game against the University of Michigan. That night, Alex and all the football team members went to the celebration party that day and stayed until very late. ”
"For at least 6 hours during this period, Alex stayed where someone could see him, and he didn't even have half a minute to leave. This proves that this drag racing incident could not have been caused by him."
"Following this clue, I found something else. It was a home video taken by a member of the Columbia University football team. Please see here. It mentioned that something crazy happened on the night of the celebration party. What exactly was it? I haven’t said it yet, but I guess there may have been some fights or even bloodshed.”
"The reason why this matter is not known to the public is probably related to the mysterious drag racing incident and the incident of Dr. Rodriguez's suspension from school. The truth is that Columbia University concealed certain things in order to weaken the impact of this accident, and specifically... What, I’m afraid only the person involved can give us the answer.”
Stark clicked to pause the video and took a closer look. Under the analyzed blogger, it read "Retired FBI Agent."
Stark couldn't help but laugh out loud. This was really a hell of a joke, because those FBI agents who had not retired might not be able to find out so much, or in other words, they would definitely not be able to find out, because as long as they have the ability to After checking, he must have retired voluntarily now.
Stark has been watching short videos related to documentaries for a long time. He mainly watches the various reviews of documentaries and the analysis of the characters in the documentaries on the Internet. This is very addictive. Sometimes the analysis from one angle can After viewing 70 or 80 videos, the related videos will have another angle, followed by the third and fourth angles, like a new and never-ending world.
Of course, what Stark mainly writes about himself is the part of his views that he likes to read the most. In short, it is about praising him. Once he starts reading, it will never end. He doesn’t know what else he can find. So many novel angles to brag about yourself.
Of course, there are too many videos of this kind, and big data has begun to recommend other people's analysis to him. What Stark likes to watch the most is the one praising Pepper, followed by Jarvis's.
But in fact, the popularity of other characters in the documentary is not as high as Schiller alone, so it is difficult to avoid seeing Schiller.
However, Schiller's videos are different from theirs. In the short videos related to Schiller, the bloggers are all Sherlock Holmes and Leeuwenhoek. The doctor's every move has been magnified and analyzed by them, from the present to the past, basically every tiny detail has been picked up.
Of course, the most of them are various videos analyzing Schiller's past, because Schiller's past is indeed like a mystery, and Stark can't say that he is not interested at all.
They actually knew that Schiller was not from this world a long time ago, but they didn't know the specific details, such as when he came, how he came, what he did after he came, and what he thought of this world and their friends. Basically no one knows.
Stark didn't want to ask at first. He valued their current relationship more than having to understand someone's past, but now he has some ideas.
This group of ordinary people who suddenly paid attention to Schiller gave Stark a subtle sense of crisis, as if people who had never seen Schiller in person knew more about him than their friends. What was going on?
Stark's neck was a little stiff from watching short videos. He stood up, shook his head, stretched, and just wanted to call Pepper when he saw a text message from Pepper on his phone. She was going out shopping this afternoon and no one should bother her.
Stark thought about it and finally went to the base of SHIELD.
Coulson was confused when he received him. He looked at Stark and asked, "Why are you here at this time, Tony, is there something important?"
"Where's Nick?" Stark asked.
"The boss is not here. He said he had something to do and left in a hurry. Do you have anything to do with him?"
"Nothing particularly important. Where's Natasha? Is she here?"
"Of course, she's in her office."
"I heard she's been busy lately." Stark turned to look at Coulson and said, "I haven't seen her for a long time."
"Yes, you know that since Dr. Schiller became famous, Nick has suddenly become interested in his past. Of course, it's our group of agents who are doing the work, and Natasha is the first to bear the brunt."
"It must be because they are from the same hometown." Stark smiled and said, "Where is her office? I'll go talk to her."
"This way, follow me."
As soon as Stark walked over and opened the door, he found Natasha watching short videos at her workstation, and she was frowning and looking thoughtful.
Stark walked in and took a look. Well, he saw a familiar face. Isn't this the retired FBI agent?
"You watch his videos too?" Stark raised his eyebrows and said, "Come on, you are a real agent, why do you watch these fake agents' videos on the Internet?"
"Of course, because what he said makes sense." Natasha answered instinctively, and then she realized that Stark was here. She looked up at Stark and said, "Why are you here at this time? Aren't you hanging around your fiancée?"
Stark sat down opposite her, put his hands on the table, stared at her and said, "Have you been investigating Schiller's past recently? Have you found anything?"
Natasha hesitated, but still told Stark about her findings, of course, the story of Schiller's college years.
The more Stark listened, the worse his face looked. He said, "You mean that when Schiller was in college, he was tricked by those bastards in the FBI and had to do dirty work for them?"
"Theoretically, that's true, but we can't be sure that Schiller at that time is the Schiller now. You know, he is not from our world, and it's not certain whether he came at that time."
Although Natasha said this, she actually knew in her heart that it was Schiller, because the personal style of that case was too strong, but she was too lazy to tell Stark these details, and just took out the attitude of fooling her boss and said that she was not sure.
Stark touched his chin and said, "So that's the case. I said that it's unlikely that Schiller now will fall into the hands of the agents. What about before? How did he get into college? Who are his parents?"
Natasha turned her eyes away.
Stark showed a suspicious look. He stared at Natasha and said, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with Schiller's family?"
Natasha crossed her hands, tilted her head, pursed her lips and said, "It can't be said that there is a problem. It's about the same as you."
"What do you mean by about the same as me?" Stark was even more confused.
Natasha knew that Stark was a troublemaker and would not give up until he achieved his goal, so she could only sigh and took out two documents from under the table and handed them to Stark.
Stark was a little skeptical and hesitated to take the documents. He was still a little afraid to open them, but he finally opened the documents and started reading. The more he looked, the wider his eyes opened, and then they turned into a deep frown.
"See, I said it was about the same as you." Natasha shrugged and said, "But it may not be the Schiller we know now, so don't be too sad."
Stark looked at the contents of the document in silence. After a long time, he gently hammered the table and said, "Hydra..."
The tone was quite gnashing, and then he looked down at the file and said, "The Hamiltons are the same. Don't they know that cooperating with Hydra is to seek the skin of a tiger? Do they think they are working for an ordinary scientific organization?"
"When they upgraded Zora's firewall, they should have thought that there would be such a day. It would be fine if they died, but they had to adopt Schiller before they died. Is it for their graves?"
Natasha sighed again and said, "Schiller is relatively lucky. The group of agents who went to silence him didn't find him, and he escaped."
Natasha's words reminded Stark of one thing. When he and Steve were wandering around Schiller's tower, they saw a corridor and a room.
That room seemed to indicate something terrible that Schiller had encountered, and it seemed to have happened in his childhood. Could it be the murder of the Hamiltons?
This memory exists in Schiller's thinking tower, which means that Schiller came to this world in his childhood, and the one who experienced all this is the Schiller they know now?
Stark felt suffocated.
