Chapter 3445 The Son of Midnight (Forty-Four)

Strange, who appeared in the Temple of New York, was already dressed as a fully armed supreme wizard. The garrison wizard stopped to salute him, and then saw the Moonlight Knight following Strange.

Strange was not in the mood to explain to them, just saying, "Give me the maintenance log of the Earth's Magic Defense Network recently. Who is the mage who has been on the shift recently?"

After a while, a female wizard came over and led Strange and Schiller into a room deep in the temple.

There is a prismatic light cone in the center of the room, emitting rich magical power. A beam of light connects the light cone from top to bottom, and the end of the beam should be the magic defense network covering the sky above the earth.

Many mysterious symbols appeared above the light cone. Strange began to check the data, and the female mage was helping him find useful information. Suddenly, Strange waved his hand and one of the runes flew over.

He discussed something with the female mage, but it was too professional and Schiller could not understand. Soon, the female mage left and probably went to get something, and Strange took the rune and said to Schiller:

"There is no problem with the magic defense network, but the defense network monitors that the total energy amount in New York has increased in the past six months. We have not investigated which lab has applied for additional magic energy usage rights, so the increase is abnormal.

"At present, there are very few people who can directly use magic energy without the approval of the New York Temple. Tony is one. I have to go to him to get his data. If it still doesn't add up to the increase, it means that there are other people who are frequently using magic in the past six months."

Soon, the female mage brought a written document, which was not written by the mysterious symbols, but in normal English. Schiller glanced at it and should have been the translated energy monitoring data.

This made him sigh that magic is also keeping pace with the times. It is estimated that the mastermind behind the troubles did not expect that the major temples under Strange had long been modernized, the monitoring system was perfect, the data was accurate to the two decimal places, and it was even very likely to have legal effect.

While following Strange, Schiller asked, "What is the principle of this monitoring?"

"The magic defense network is like a large network. It can not only resist foreign enemies, but also carefully monitor the various energy generated inside the earth. It not only includes magic energy, but also the energy produced by scientists using instruments is also included.

"It can not only be monitored, but also set the types and energy levels to trigger automatic interception. For example, if someone wants to open a portal on the earth that is different from the Earth's mage's energy consumption and operation mode, he will be intercepted immediately. The same is true if he wants to use powerful magic or create large-scale energy bombs."

"No wonder no stranger hasn't invaded New York for a long time." Schiller nodded and said.

In fact, this was not beyond Schiller's expectations. Although what he did united the superheroes and partially changed the pattern of the earth, the fact that the earth can have its current stable life is mainly due to the development of basic technology in all walks of life.

The magic defense network may have this function, but Gu Yi does not follow this path at all, so even if there is one, it will not be used, and will not study it in depth.

Because Strange's personal strength is not as good as Gu Yi, he has caught up with a booming era. He has to do everything possible to maintain the stability of the earth and develop all the functions of every corner, which is much better than before.

This is basically the case in other industries. In order to drink the soup of the Star Age, they are all comprehensive innovations and self-revolution, and they are self-revolutionary. In the end, all walks of life have redundancy and their ability to resist risks has been greatly enhanced.

The two flew to the roof of Stark Building, then flew down to the window of Stark's office. As soon as they flew over, they saw Pepper scolding Stark.

The sound insulation of the building is very good, but Schiller doesn't have to listen to what Pepper is scolding.

Although this matter has nothing to do with Stark, in Pepper's words, Stark can take half of the momentum of mocking other people's businessmen's style every day and put it on the Internet, and will not be defeated in the public opinion war.

As the two of them flew in, Stark leaned dejectedly against the table like a defeated rooster.

Schiller felt his sorrow, but only felt a little gloating.

Tony Stark is a bit noble. If someone recognizes him, he will be very happy. Even if this person is just an ordinary person and may even have no knowledge of science at all, he will be proud of the other party's recognition.

But if he wants to find a way to get recognition from others, even if this person has the technology that is ahead of the earth, Stark is unwilling to do this, and even has a rebellious mentality: the more he needs to recognize me, the more I offend him, and see how he can do it to me.

For example, he was able to be happy from the heart when facing the praise of Asgard's children, but he was unwilling to let him take the initiative to get close to Thor and Loki.

His relationship with Loki is pretty good, but he is just average with Thor, and it can be said that both of them are not very familiar with each other. Even if he chats with Loki, he never discusses issues such as Asgard Technology.

The same is true in terms of online image management. Although he would show off his account with Schiller and others how many fans he has, if he really wanted him to shoot a video that fans like to watch to gain fans, he would avoid it and would be too sarcastic when filming, like a thief.

Pepper has a lot of complaints about this, because public opinion war is like sailing against the current, and if you don’t advance, you will retreat. If you don’t occupy the public opinion position, your enemy will naturally occupy it. When the public opinion war really starts, you will know what it means to be surrounded by enemies and be attacked from both sides.

Now, Stark is suffering from the consequences. He is not feeling sad because he is scolded. The main reason is that his fans who are desperately trying to clarify and expose Dario's lies, although they have worked very hard, the results are still not good. There are still many people being chased and scolded, which can be said to be defeated step by step.

Stark felt that he should be responsible for this. If he, as Pepper said before, managed his personal image well, posted more of his resume and scientific research results, or simply took more cool videos of mechas, the situation might be much better now.

But if you take photos now, it will inevitably seem as if you feel guilty and can't hold back, so the public relations team can only choose to deal with it coldly.

But Stark's anxiety disorder repeated. While he felt uncomfortable, he insisted on watching it like obsessive-compulsive disorder. The more he looked, the more uncomfortable he felt. The more he felt, the more he wanted to watch it, and the mental stability level plummeted.

Schiller, as a professional psychologist who earned him 300 million US dollars in one quarter, took the most direct method - to snatch his phone away.

Before Stark could call the battle suit, Schiller had Kongsu's help, and a white light hit Stark's wrist with one finger and the phone flew out directly.

The phone fell to the ground and the screen cracked. Stark was about to pick it up, but another white light fell to the ground. The phone disappeared.

Stark glared at him and then wanted to call Jarvis, but Jarvis was as quiet as if he was dead. Stark even began to wonder if he had been killed by the angry Scarlet Witch.

"Okay." Stark spread his hands and said, "Are you here to cause trouble for me?"

"Look at this." Strange walked forward and handed the file to Stark. Stark had just glanced at it, but soon his eyes were focused on the data on the file.

After a while, he shook his head and said, "No, I started to use magic frequently after the establishment of Midnight Son. Peter was almost the same, even if we two combined, we could not fill the difference."

"This means someone is using magic secretly." Strange sat on the side of the table, bent his arm and put it on the table, and pinched his hands together, "But the difference is not big, and the high-energy alarm has not been triggered from beginning to end. This proves that the magic power used by the other party is not high, and the frequency of use is uncertain, and the place is scattered, so it is difficult to track it down through monitoring."

"That's to send someone to follow him." Stark's eyes turned, and he said, "Avengers, Midnight Son, New Warriors Team...who else? You New York Temple doesn't have enough staff, I know."

Strange snorted coldly and said, "I will ask the employees of the Holy Land to contact the Demon Gods, let their agents suspend their work, and solve this matter first."

The two looked at Schiller together, and Schiller nodded, but then shook his head again.

Strange and Stark both understood what he meant - he had no problem participating by himself, but he could not convince Nick to let him go.

Logically speaking, this kind of thing should indeed be managed by SHIELD, but the situation in the public opinion field is not good now. Nick must keep a close eye on the Internet to prevent the Internet from affecting offline and destroying a great and stable situation.

About half an hour later, the members of Midnight Son met at the Moonlight Temple. Stark, who was standing in front, sighed and said, "That's how it is. We have to find who is secretly using magic in New York."

Danny immediately turned his head and looked at Johnny Stark, and waved his hand and said, "It's not the Ghost Rider, the amount of the Demon God's agent is calculated in the maintenance of the Holy Land, and it does not belong to the additional energy consumption."

"It may be another apostle of Mephisto," said Danny. "The devil is best at sneaking."

Stark did not rule out this possibility. He just said, "You have been fighting with him for so long, and I must have known him, so follow the clues you have learned to check it out.

"But I have two requirements. One is that I will never allow innocent ordinary people to be involved, and the other is that I will not allow you to frame your brother in an unknown way and find evidence before talking about it."

Danny wanted to say something, and looking at Stark's bad face, he gave up, but just secretly glared at Johnny again.

What surprised Schiller was that Johnny, who hadn't spoken much since the beginning, suddenly said, "I have a few brothers in the Motorcycle Gang, so I can ask them to help stare, but you have to pay some gas."

"Motorcycle Gang? Are ordinary people?" Stark frowned. He actually didn't want ordinary people to participate. The main reason is that ordinary people basically have no power to fight back in front of magic.

Johnny shook his head and said, "Motorcycle Gangs are not ordinary people. Most of them have some skills. Some of them are mutants. They are very familiar with the terrain of New York and should be able to help."

"Okay," Stark nodded, "I'll transfer the money to the Holy Place and then let them on your account."

The plan was finalized, and they went to investigate the people they found suspicious. At the same time, the same scene was also staged inside the Avengers and the Holy Land.
