Shiller stood at the door of the clinic, watching Wanda's angry figure as she walked away. Upon turning around, he caught Loki rolling his eyes. Loki fiddled with the cup in his hand and said, "When you're a psychiatrist, you convince everyone not to be superheroes; when you're a superhero, you persuade everyone to become superheroes. Is this your career plan?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm planning to do something a superhero should do."

"What?"

"Night infiltration of Roxsen."

The nights in New York are brighter than moonlight with the city lights. The lights of Manhattan, in particular, exude a unique coldness and arrogance, perfectly capturing the city's unapproachable indifference.

Every big corporation needs its own skyscraper here, not because they love Manhattan's traffic and scenery, but simply to prove their place in the world. Roxon Corporation is no exception.

If the Stark Industries Building is the undisputed icon of Manhattan's skyline, then the Roxsen Energy Industry Building is an indispensable part of the nighttime cityscape.

The top 30 floors of the Roxsen Energy Industry Building float above the sky. This is an absolute no-fly zone, and no aircraft can get close to this sky fort—not even Nick's sky carrier would route through here.

This is Dario Ag's kingdom. Nearing the limits of the sky is merely to remind the common people below that the king's authority is unquestionable.

But as high as the kingdom's fort might be, it can never surpass the moon hanging above. A beam of moonlight silently fell atop the sky fort without triggering any energy detection devices; even the cameras saw nothing.

Unhindered, Shiller entered the interior of the Roxsen Energy Industry Building using the moonlight. But this was just the beginning, as even sky forts mostly accommodate regular offices for ordinary employees. The true core region would undoubtedly be Dario Ag's office.

Shiller didn't know where his office was nor trusted his luck, so he chose the simplest but most effective method—a thorough search.

Shiller didn't take the elevator, starting from the ground floor and, after searching, proceeding up the stairs to the next.

Surely Dario Ag was inside the fort now, but Shiller wasn't worried about being discovered. He had recruited a heavyweight ally this time, and nobody could stop him from uncovering Roxsen's secrets.

Loki was right. When he's not a superhero, no one should think of being just a simple superhero. And since he's taken up the superhero mantle, everyone better be superheroes.

Shiller strolled quietly down the hallway, appearing to the surveillance devices as merely a beam of moonlight shining through a window. The security system was so silent it seemed never to have existed.

Room after room, floor after floor. As Shiller reached the sixteenth floor of the sky fort, he heard a commotion.

Standing right in the middle of the hallway, Shiller heard something rapidly approaching him, but he didn't move because he knew whatever it was could not attack a beam of light.

"Someone's coming," said Khonsu, leaning against the wall.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't be detected?"

"They can't detect the presence of moonlight. But, they might detect your presence."

"What do you mean?"

"The human mind has a sound."

As soon as Khonsu finished speaking, Shiller saw a tall figure appear in the hallway. Simultaneously, he began to hear a static-like noise, similar to the interference when radio signals are disturbed.

As that person got closer, Shiller saw it was a tall woman with long white hair. To be precise, there were no obvious gender traits, merely dressed somewhat like a woman.

The noise in his ears turned into a sharp ringing.

The white-haired figure before Shiller suddenly transformed into a large white-furred monster taking heavy steps toward him. But this scene flashed by fleetingly, almost like a transient illusion.

Shiller knew this wasn't an illusion, or rather, all his illusions only pointed to the truth in another way.

"Samuel," Shiller called out her name directly.

He rarely used his transmigrator's advantage to expose someone's identity directly, but this time was different because the monster before him was very special. To gain the upper hand, he needed to switch gears and take the initiative.

"Who are you? How do you know my name?"

"I came with the moonlight. Your sins cause the feather on the scales to rise, and so I came."

The other laughed coldly and said, "Just a hidden superhero, do you also want to judge me?"

"You're just an interstellar fugitive in hiding," Shiller replied, stepping forward instead of retreating, his cane tapping the ground. "Earth is not your place. You must leave immediately."

"Don't play tricks."

As soon as Shiller heard the words, there was a sharp cry again, as if a needle flew quickly from his right ear to his left.

"Your power is indeed peculiar, but not completely uninfluenced. How long do you think you can last?" Samuel sneered.

"He's right," Khonsu said. "He's attacking your mind. Moonlight power can't completely protect you. But I can get you out. Want to leave?"

Shiller shook his head. "If he came directly to punch me, that would be troublesome. You said it, I'm not very good at fighting. But psychic attacks..."

"I mean, if he breaks through my defense and affects you, are you sure you won't go insane here? At that time, I won't have extra power to stop you."

"Don't worry, I have external support."

"I'm even less assured now," Khonsu admitted, "I must remind you, there are still ordinary people in the building, though not many. But if this place falls, they won't survive."

"Then withdraw your protection and save strength for what's next."

"You don't have to put the word 'suicide' so elegantly."

"I'm not trying to commit suicide..."

"I was talking about me."

"Do you sense my impatience?"

"If you insist, alright then."

As Khonsu withdrew his protection, Shiller only heard a loud explosion, like a bomb going off in his ear. The sound waves, like a gigantic fist made of ocean waves, crushed over his brain, breaking his eardrums and rushing into his mind.

Even though Shiller had encountered countless mind power users, it was indeed the first time he experienced such a violent form of psychic invasion, as if she wasn't invading the psyche but using some force to directly grasp his brain. Perhaps that's exactly what she was doing. Modifying the brainwave of an ordinary person is the best way to brainwash.

Shiller released his defense, feeling his mind go blank. Something was being written into him, but the words appearing in his mind lingered briefly before quickly sinking to the depths.

Clearly, this was to make the hypnotized person unaware of being hypnotized. These implanted command programs would lurk in the depths of their consciousness, subtly affecting their actions.

Almost no one can control their subconscious, and even fewer can introspect within their psychic_battlefield. These implanted programs are hard to detect, but Shiller is evidently an exception.

It's likely that the other Shiller in the High Tower are baffled by the sudden rain of feces from the sky. Shiller even had the leisure to ponder, but who cares, it's not his mess to clean up.

It turned out that his alter egos in the High Tower were indeed quick at cleaning up. The program commands dissolved before landing. Consulting Ye Meng Jia De's hearty appetite probably helped since modifying brainwaves requires energy, albeit minimal—mosquito legs may be small, but they're still meat.

Whether due to negligence on the opponent's part or this operation lacking a verification process, once Samuel finished writing the commands, she simply exited the operating system and then said to Shiller, "Come with me."

Shiller followed behind her.

The tall white-haired woman led Shiller into the elevator. She seemed to believe the hypnosis control had succeeded completely, dropping her guard. From the momentary illusion earlier, it was evident she wasn't human. Her true form also possessed combat abilities, so Shiller refrained from making rash moves.

The main reason though was that he anticipated this creature would take him directly to Dario Ag, sparing him the search and the trouble of finding that wretched door card, keys, or flashlight batteries.

The elevator ascended all the way to the top floor. Samuel's footsteps echoed in the empty corridor as she first entered a circular hall, turned right, and finally arrived before a semi-transparent automatic door.

There, Shiller saw the silhouette of Dario Ag.

Samuel didn't even ask him to surrender his weapon. He casually carried the large long wand and swaggered into Dario's office.

Shiller even began to wonder if this white-furred creature was trying to wield a borrowed knife for murder.

Dario turned, momentarily surprised to see Shiller. But Samuel walked over, laughing, and said, "Surprise."

"It's indeed quite the surprise," Khonsu said again, standing by the wall, "I just returned to the High Tower; they're doing a massive cleanup and cursing you. Best not to go back for now."

"No worries, the system update counts as a merit. If I don't use the credit immediately, they'll forget soon enough," Shiller said indifferently.

After Samuel's introduction, Dario flashed a triumphant smile. He walked towards Shiller and then said, "It seems you're quite eager, Doctor. Didn't expect we'd meet again so soon."

Shiller remained motionless on the spot. After a moment, a voice unfamiliar to Samuel came from Shiller's mouth: "I am not the doctor you're looking for."

This voice was gentle, with no discernible emotion. But as it reverberated in the spacious office room, it carried a kind of detached, inorganic eeriness, superior to intelligent life.

Instinctively, Samuel retreated two steps, but Dario couldn't care less. He approached Shiller to pull off his hood but found himself sitting in a chair the next second. Samuel sat across from him, with the mysterious figure in a silver cloak standing between them.

"I think there might be a misunderstanding. Perhaps we can talk," said the voice, "Who would like to start? ... Let's have the gentleman on the right go first."

Dario wanted to speak, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn't utter the words he intended to say.

"My name is Dario Ag, born into the Ag Family in Greece. At the age of 9, my relatives were slain by pirates. I escaped alone and prayed in a nearby cave. A bull-headed statue responded, proclaiming me a Minotaur..."

Samuel immediately followed, saying, "I am Samuel, from the Shem Star, once the ruler of the Shem Star. I was imprisoned for carnage and genocide and escaped from the interstellar prison, landing in North Carolina on Earth..."

"Let me introduce myself," the voice continued, "I am Charles Xavier, often called Professor X. I'm currently at the Andromeda star system communications center, bringing you the voice from deep in the cosmos."
