The moment they saw the corpse, everyone's eyes began to look at each other, and the undercurrent surging under the silence was about to burst out. The first person to speak out was Thor, who was holding Sif's hand.
"What's going on?" Thor's voice was very low, and the anger contained in it frightened the guests present. No one here could bear the anger of the God King.
I can only say that fortunately today’s banquet is not a formal wedding ceremony. It is just a banquet to welcome the guests of the interstellar civilization. The formal ceremony will not be held until the God King and God Queen tomorrow morning. If such a thing happens at that time, I am afraid that the interstellar The society is about to start another bloody storm.
But such an accident was staggering enough. The real ruler of one of the three great empires in the universe died at a banquet in Asgard in front of so many civilized leaders.
Thor set his sights on Luo Ji, Schiller also turned to look at Luo Ji, and Luo Ji lowered his head slightly and said, "I'll go investigate right away."
The insiders present knew what she meant by the investigation. She only needed to take a look above the universe to go back along the timeline and see who did it. At the worst, she could go to the Time Management Bureau and ask for help. Mobius came here with a machine to go back in time.
Luo Ji slowly turned around, and at this moment a voice sounded: "Wait a moment, Your Highness Luo Ji."
Loki turned around and found that it was Stark who made the noise. Thor's eyes fell on Stark's face again, and Stark calmly touched his wrist and said, "Should we First, confirm the identity of the deceased? Although she looks like Her Majesty the Queen of the Shi'ar Empire, this is the royal palace of Asgard. There is no reason why Her Majesty the Queen would die here. Shouldn't we first check if this is a stand-in? Or an illusion?”
As soon as Stark finished saying this, he felt a gaze fall on him. Stark raised his eyes to look at Schiller who was staring at him opposite. He did not continue to speak, but just smiled.
At this time, Sif, who was the leader of the Asgard Guards, frowned and said: "In order to ensure that the banquet goes smoothly, the soldiers of the Guards are waiting outside the venue, but other Guard members who have no security duties, including doctors, coroners, etc., have already Withdrew from Asgard.”
"Your Majesty, if you want to verify your identity, I will ask professionals to come and investigate now."
"No need." Thor refused Sif's proposal without looking at her.
But everyone also understands that Sif is not the captain of the palace guard now, she is the fiancée of the God King. She cannot lead a team of people to touch the corpse, or even leave here temporarily. This is very rude.
"I think there is a doctor here, isn't it?" Frigga's voice came, and she looked at Schiller. Schiller turned his head slightly but did not look at Frigga, but glanced at Odin's face.
Obviously, everyone on the court has their own purposes and secrets, and a delicate and fragile balance is gradually established.
Everyone has information that no one else has, which will be key to their own purposes.
They are convinced that the smart people present can understand the current situation - when they do not understand other people's intentions, they cannot rashly use too rough means to break the situation to find out the truth, which will only bring trouble to themselves.
Under this atmosphere, even a fool can understand that this is not a simple murder case, or that the Queen of the Shi'ar Empire will die, and that she will die at an Asgardian banquet, there is no such thing. Possibility of simple homicide.
Schiller stood silent for a few seconds, but did not step forward. Instead, he said: "I am a psychiatrist. I don't know magic, I can't do autopsies, and I can't detect illusions. I want to have someone better than me." More suitable for this job.”
After saying that, he turned to the other side and looked at a figure in the crowd. Everyone followed him and focused their eyes on that figure. Strange, holding a wine glass, walked through the crowd.
His eyes first fell on the body on the ground, then looked at Thor and said, "I'm not a forensic doctor, just a surgeon."
"But at least you can check whether this is caused by magic, right, Your Majesty the Sorcerer Supreme?" Thor emphasized.
"Loki can also...well, it's impolite to let His Highness in full dress touch the body. Let me do it." Strange turned around and put the wine glass on the waiter's tray.
Schiller's eyes did not follow Strange's movements like others, but only glanced at the wine glass that Strange had just put down.
The Supreme Mage took off his cloak and handed it to Luo Ji, who was closest to him. Then he walked to the side of the queen's body and squatted down. The light in his eyes floated slightly, and a golden light shone on his fingertips.
Strange's fingertips lightly touched the ground, and magic radiance rippled out. When it swept over the queen's body, there was nothing unusual about the magic fluctuations. Most of the people present could see this.
"The corpse is real." Strange shook his head and said, "No trace of magical fabrication or illusion was found."
"Can we determine the cause of death?" Thor asked again.
Strange stared at the body and said: "I would like to check the wounds on the body, but this may be a bit offensive. I am not sure that the Queen and her family will agree to my touching her body at will."
"Leland! Leland! Your Majesty Lelandra!!" A burst of anxious shouting came from the main entrance of the fairy palace, and a strong Feather Clan male rushed in with two guards.
"That is the husband of the Queen of the Shi'a Empire." Luo Ji explained to Schiller in a low voice,
But Schiller's attention was not on the royal wife, but on the face of the young guard who had just entered.
"Aren't all their royal guards from the Feather Clan?" Schiller asked Luo Ji in a low voice.
"The Shi'ar Empire is an empire with a great integration of ethnic groups. Although the Mengyu tribe is a royal race, in order to show respect for other races, their guards include members of more than 20 races."
"Including humans?"
Luo Ji was stunned for a moment. She followed Schiller's eyes and found that the young soldier standing behind Wang Fu who fell to the ground looked exactly like a human.
Luo Ji's eyes also flashed with a glimmer of magic, and then she discovered that the young guard was really a human being, at least he must have human blood.
There are many humanoid races in the universe. This phenomenon starts with some beings who spread life in the first place. But in fact, humanoid races are the mainstream of interstellar society, and most races are vertebrates with four limbs.
But on this basis, different races also have slight differences. Differences such as skin color can no longer be regarded as differences. Some races not only have four limbs, but may have four arms. Some races have fish-tailed bodies, and some races have fish tails. There are even two heads.
Even if the appearance looks exactly like a human being, the internal blood vessels and muscle tissue will definitely be very different.
After all, there are very few weak races like humans in the universe. Even if they are ugly and not strong enough, most of them can use other energies.
This means that their organs will undergo special changes as they evolve, and they cannot be completely consistent with a race like humans that is physically weak and cannot use energy.
But the young man across from him conforms to the laws of the human body from his internal organ structure to blood vessels and muscle tissue, so he is most likely a human.
However, the fact that humans would become members of the Shi'ar Empire's escorts is very strange in itself. Humans are not a member race of the Shi'ar Empire at all. The territories of the two races are far apart, and humans have not conducted trade with the Shi'ar Empire. Fangba pole can't be hit.
So who is this human being who appears here? Why could he join the Shi'ar Empire's palace guard? And why did he appear next to the queen and her husband?
Schiller quickly searched for information in his mind. He knew that all humans who could get out of the nine kingdoms were not weak hands and must have someone to rely on. They must be famous and surnamed existences in the Marvel world.
Searching with the keyword Shi'ar Imperial Guard, Schiller suddenly found an extremely inconspicuous piece of information deep in the dusty memory.
The origin story of Star-Lord in Guardians of the Galaxy records one of his experiences. The first half of the story is too complicated, but in short, Star-Lord Peter Quill was imprisoned in an interstellar prison called Cain.
Star-Lord wanted to escape from prison, so he found a few teammates. On the way to escape, he found a big explosion in the interstellar prison Kane, and wanted to go over to check the situation. At this time, he met a gladiator. Later, this A gladiator recruits Star-Lord into the Shi'ar Empire's escorts.
But in the comics, Star-Lord refused the call and chose to stay in Cain Prison, but there is no doubt that Star-Lord once had an opportunity to join the Shi'ar Empire Guards.
The butterfly effect of the time traveler was too complicated, and Schiller was not sure whether it was the change he brought about that led Star-Lord to agree to the Gladiator's request and actually join the Shi'ar Empire's guard.
But in this humble story, it still involves a famous big man, that is Thanos.
At that time, Star-Lord wanted to deal with a being called the Creator. Because he felt that he was not strong enough, he wanted to recruit Thanos as a teammate. In the comic plot, Thanos did not agree, but went to beat up the Creator himself.
In other words, Thanos and Star-Lord have dealt with each other. Not only do they have no hatred, Star-Lord also wants to cooperate with Thanos. So, even if Thanos wisely rejects Star-Lord in terms of jointly fighting the enemy, the two of them will Will people cooperate in other ways?
Schiller turned to look at the edge of the dance floor. The purple-skinned giant just stood there holding a wine glass and drinking to himself. He said nothing, as if he was completely unaware of the chaos in the middle of the dance floor.
But Schiller understands that Thanos is not a peaceful person. If he does not have a part in this chaos, no one will believe it.
Is the chaos over the Queen's murder a sudden incident?
On the contrary, all conspiracies proceed quietly, and the final chaos is just the result of various factors colliding and accumulating power to reach their peak, and then erupting together.
Standing in the middle of the bright and spacious dance floor, Schiller could have a clear view of everyone's thoughtful expressions.
By looking through everyone's pupils and connecting perspectives unknown to others, a complete truth can be constructed.
Without this information, Schiller had to use everyone's words, reactions and attitudes to deduce where the source of the power that caused the chaos came from within just a few minutes of the chaos. When was it produced?
Peel away the cocoons, make deductions step by step, and deduce everyone's motives, methods, and ultimate goals.
Along with the rapid thinking of the brain, the heart began to beat faster and faster, and the "bang bang bang" drum beat was like the prelude to the beginning of a dance party.
Time stood still, space condensed, and the last beam of light flowed along Schiller's brow bone into his eyes, and then like the afterglow on the Asgard Bridge, the curtain fell on the darkness.
The sound in Vanity Fair gradually faded and the light grew dim.
Suddenly, there was a violent flash of light, and Schiller woke up from a somewhat confused sleep. Outside the bedroom window of the Asgard, one could see the bright energy tail flames from the engine mouth of the Shi'ar Empire's royal spaceship as it slowed down and landed.
This is really strange, Schiller thought, that the Queen of Shi'ar Empire and her wife actually came to congratulate them in person, and they came earlier than the other two empires.
