Chapter 3664: Evil Force (II)
Schiller really admires Mephisto. To some extent, the devil is synonymous with "shameless people are invincible". As long as they can achieve their goals, they will do whatever it takes and have no dignity at all. To some extent, they can be regarded as innate Internet saints.
Moreover, his mind works very quickly - if he wasn't smart, he wouldn't have become the King of Hell - when other demons still couldn't figure out what the Internet was all about, he had already learned the skills of riding on the popularity and intercepting other people's traffic.
If he were to use his own image or create someone else's image to promote himself and attract followers, it would be very difficult. Not only would he have to create an account from scratch, but he wouldn't be able to attract much traffic unless he did something drastic.
Devils are greedy, they are not satisfied with a little increase in followers every day. Since there is a one-step method, why use that stupid method?
The screenwriter of the movie has already set the scene for you. You and the character of Patton, the most popular school doctor, are two sides of the same coin. So as long as you use his image to show your own charm, won't you become an instant hit?
Although he uses Schiller's image, his actual identity in the movie is the most evil black magician Saphir, and the source of Saphir's power is Mephisto.
If someone falls in love with Saphir, it will actually help Mephisto increase his popularity. After all, many people now think that the king of hell is Satan. Even if it can change some people's concept, Mephisto will make a lot of money.
For these cosmic demons, human faith has a special power. And not only devout believers, but also general believers can provide faith power. Who says that fans who like Saphir are not general believers of Mephisto?
Mephisto has already found out from his followers how many people like Schiller. If he plays the role well, even if he can convert even one tenth of his fans into fan followers, it will be totally worth it.
Schiller regretted it now, very much. If he had known this would happen, he would never have agreed to Mephisto's request to participate.
He enjoyed the role, but the problem is that he has his own face, so won't the fans of the character become his own fans? By then, his sanatorium can even stage a zombie siege without special effects!
Schiller certainly planned to take some measures. He first called Chris. After all, Chris was the director, and he should firmly resist the unreasonable behavior of investors who inserted people without reason.
"Hello?" Chris's voice sounded a little dazed, as if he had just woken up. "Dr. Schiller? It's really you. I really dreamed about you at night, and I actually dreamed of you with long black hair. In my dream, we drank and talked happily, discussing the next script..."
Schiller took a breath and said, "Me with long hair? Then did you see what color his eyes were?"
"It seems to be... it seems to be red... He said he was some kind of devil. I asked him if he had horns, and he transformed a goat horn on his head for me. And there were goat hooves. Human dreams are really strange. Hahaha."
"Where are you now?" Schiller asked.
"I'm at my house on Long Island. What's the matter?"
"Wait a minute, I'll come to you now." Schiller was about to hang up the phone when he heard Chris say on the other end: "Oh, Schiller, you're here. Wait, how come you're here so quickly?!"
Schiller didn't care about much anymore and quickly turned into gray mist and flew towards Long Island. He circled around the villa area but couldn't find Chris. He stopped on the roof of a building and called Strange.
"Hello? Stephen! Chris Columbus has been kidnapped! To be more precise, he has been kidnapped by a ghost!"
"Are you still asleep?" Strange came out of the bathroom, wiped his dripping hair, and said, "What's wrong with Chris?"
"He was kidnapped by Mephisto!" Schiller gestured, as if he didn't know how to explain. He said, "I called Chris and said I was coming over. Then Mephisto, who turned into me, appeared in his house. When I came to look for him again, he was gone!"
"Wait a minute, I'll be there right away."
Ten minutes later, Strange descended from the sky, looked at Schiller standing beside him and said, "I really want to ask you if you are sane. What Mephisto? What kidnapping? What are you talking about?"
Schiller was stunned. He realized that Strange didn't know that Mephisto had turned into him. But then again, there was no need for this old devil to show off to the Avengers. He didn't have to urge them to submit psychological reports!
"It's complicated," Schiller said. "Did Chris ever tell you the actual script? I mean, do you know what the story is after the fourth one?"
Seeing Strange's confused face, Schiller had to tell Strange the complete script first. After listening to it, Strange still didn't understand it.
"So, the real Black Mage Saphir and the real Supreme Sorcerer are both inside you. They both look like you. And the character that Mephisto is going to play is not Mephisto, who only revealed his true identity as the King of Hell at the end, but Saphir who looks exactly like you?"
"Yes, this damn devil is playing word games in the contract again. He said he would play Mephisto, but he didn't say whether he would play his true self or his followers under his control."
"But according to what you mean, the headmaster of Ilvermorny, whom I played, was also controlled by him. Why didn't he become me?"
"Of course it's because you're not as popular as me!" Schiller said helplessly, "What he wants is traffic. He wants to be famous, so of course he'll pick the more popular one. And Safire's character is much better than yours. He thinks the audience will like to watch this, so he did this."
"Then go ahead and act," Strange said, "He's a devil, so he should be a good actor. I'm looking forward to seeing you two acting opposite each other."
"He wants the character he plays to be a hit. But the problem is that if we look the same, the audience will think I am playing two roles - what if I really win an Oscar?!"
"What's wrong with Oscar?" Strange asked, "More people will know you, and more people will come to you for treatment. Wouldn't you make a fortune?"
"If you had visited my nursing home these days, even for a moment, you wouldn't have said that. Even when I went out to buy a bottle of bean paste, it felt like I was on the New York subway at 8 a.m."
"It's just the pain," Strange said. "Fame is short-lived. There will be new and good movies soon, and they will chase new roles. Then you will be fine. If you really feel annoyed, just hide somewhere else."
"The problem is that Mephisto is now in my face! Can you imagine how loud the screams of that turkey would be if he went around in front of Stark?"
"He'll probably just think you're just in the mood for a new look," Strange said, spreading his hands. "Of course, he might also think one of your personalities has escaped. But anyway, he doesn't know anyone except you. It doesn't matter which one it is."
"You deserve it," Strange sneered. "If you hadn't created so many personality traits that confused everyone, people would have easily noticed that you were different and become suspicious. But now they just think it's a new personality and don't take it seriously at all."
Schiller opened his mouth, but was unable to refute. After all, each of his personality traits was very unique, and his dressing style, temperament and style were all different. It was normal for a devil personality to appear one day.
Now Mephisto is determined to play this role. He will never let Schiller ruin his plan, so he took Chris away before him. Although Chris is definitely not in danger, in order to prevent Schiller from causing trouble for him, Mephisto will also find ways to interfere with his sight. For example, pretend that he is doing something, and then let the Avengers and SHIELD trip him up.
Schiller was absolutely sure that Mephisto would play him, otherwise why would this devil go to his tower? Wasn't it just to collect materials?
Greed was also responsible for this. He usually liked to bring strange things into the tower, such as a giant python, a giant falcon head, a black pharaoh, and so on. When Mephisto came down, I thought he was his new model and let him in without a second thought. Finally, the devil succeeded.
But if Mephisto is Schiller, then who is Schiller? !
Now Mephisto has the upper hand. If Schiller chases him to explain, he may never catch him in this life. He must think of a way to stop this damn devil from doing things in his face.
Thinking of this, Schiller paused. If Mephisto is Schiller, then he can be Neog Sosip!
That's the benefit of having an extra vest, Schiller thought, and Sosip happened to be a folklorist, a type of scholar who specialized in exorcising demons in the Middle Ages. It's a perfect match for his profession.
But he alone can't do it. After all, he actually knows a little about Mephisto, and no exorcism ritual can drive out a demon of Mephisto's level. He needs to find someone who knows Mephisto, and it's best if he doesn't have a good relationship with him. The two of them joined forces to stop Mephisto's behavior of trying to get attention regardless of Schiller's life or death.
Schiller thought of Ghost Rider Danny, Johnny's younger brother. He had a grudge against Mephisto and had always had some paranoid tendencies, thinking that all the troubles in his life were caused by Mephisto. He even disliked his own brother Johnny, who had contracted Mephisto.
If it was before, Schiller would have suggested that he see a doctor. But now it turns out that Danny is still very prescient. And his power does not come from Mephisto, but from the Spirit of Vengeance in his body. This Spirit of Vengeance is a righteous and good man, and is very trustworthy.
He did what he said. Schiller first used the gray fog to transform himself into Dr. Sosip. In order to gain his trust, he certainly couldn't just go to the door. Otherwise, it would easily arouse Danny's suspicion. He had to make this matter look more reasonable.
So, he first posted a message on a forum for occult enthusiasts, discussing the occult elements in the movie "Ilvermorny" and deducing who the real culprit behind the movie was.
After all, he used the answer to work backwards, so his argument was well-reasoned. And because the movie itself is about magic, it has been loved by many fans of the occult. The forum itself has a lot of traffic, and this post was pushed to the top, and soon had hundreds of thousands of views, and was also carried by various Internet platforms and short video software.
Although Danny didn't have any knowledge of the occult, the Spirit of Vengeance in his body could be considered his teacher and had some knowledge of this aspect. When Danny saw this post, he felt that the Spirit of Vengeance in his body had moved.
