Chapter 1382 The Call of the Stars (8)
Before the round Zen window, Stark and Strange both frowned and looked at the black notebook on the desktop. Stark pinched his index finger and thumb, and frowned against his chin and said, "So, how many partners did the owner of the notebook find during his adventure?"
"Yes, he called them 'witches, hermits, robots, warriors and critters', which sounded a bit like the name of a card."
"Everyone has many characteristics," Stark commented, and then he added: "The ability is comprehensive and as if it was arranged on purpose."
"There is no doubt that the team members with unique skills provide greater protection for the survival of this team, but next, they will face greater challenges."
Strange smiled. After he finished speaking, he snapped his fingers gently, and the opened black notebook floated up and hung on the right side of the coffee table, and a map spread out above it.
Strange opened his five fingers, and five rays of light flew towards the pages of the black notebook. Then, five vivid origami villains jumped out from between the pages.
The first one was wearing a long black robe and a pointed wizard hat. A gorgeous light appeared at the top of the staff he held.
The second person was burly and strong, holding a shield in his hand, and it made a sound when it landed on the table, raising a burst of dust.
The third body is composed of several squares, connected by wires in the middle, and the lower body is a buzzing track, and the antenna on the head is shaking left and right.
The fourth person has a strong body, wearing an oriental style kung fu robe, and a Chinese character "wu" is written behind him. When he lands, he is a beautiful round-robin kick.
The fifth is a slender weasel animal with a big furry tail, flexibly traveling around the feet of several other members.
The last stickman carrying a travel bag fell in the center of the map.
Stark glanced at the little paper men and read out their names in sequence: "Witch, strongman, robot, warrior, small animal and the owner of the notebook, let's call him the 'protagonist'."
Strange nodded, and his fingers gently pressed on the table. The magic light shot out from his fingertips like electric current, and like leaf veins, connecting to the feet of every paper man.
When the brilliance of magic wrapped around the bodies of all paper people, they seemed to have been given life and moved vividly, looking at their bodies in surprise, and then turned to look at their companions.
Strange raised the other end of the magical light, opened his fingers and threw it into the void of the black notebook.
When the notebook and several paper people were connected by magical energy, they recovered their minds from their ignorance, scanned each other's hands, then pinched the weapons in their hands, and looked at the unknown journey ahead of the map.
Stark and Strange both leaned forward, leaned their heads close to the map, staring at the movements of the little paper people. The little paper people on the map seemed to have no idea about the two people observing them in the air, but chattered and started a discussion.
"I think you are completely over-thinking. It seems that the light spot in front is what we are going to investigate. We only need to take two more steps to get a result that we can almost submit. I have already come back after this entangled time."
Wanda hugged her arms, and some anger seemed to accumulate between her eyebrows. The part of Miss Witch's character inherited from her father was fully displayed at this moment. She prefers to cut the mess with a quick knife than to act cautiously.
"I know, Wanda, I know you are strong, but my spider sensing has never been wrong. The things ahead must be very dangerous, and even dangers we may not be able to cope with."
Riley's brows were deeper than Wanda. He stepped forward and said in a tough manner: "I took you to do the task, so I must be responsible for your safety. I cannot accept that anyone is injured here, even if it is not possible."
"But we've all got here." Wanda was strolling in confusion. She said: "Just take a few more steps forward and the task will be completed. If you overestimate its difficulty, we shouldn't waste time."
"Okay, okay, Wanda." Riley stretched out his hands to comfort Wanda, and said, "I called you here to complete my mission, but now I plan to give up on this mission and points, so now we can leave without any need to stay here."
"You are wasting our time!"
"I am not a prophet, I cannot predict what is happening here. I am considering your safety!"
As the quarrel between the two became more and more intense, the others had to join the battle. Xu Shangqi stood on Riley's side because he really felt uncomfortable.
Not only physical, but his rich association ability makes him look too complicated about the darkness around him. He knows that this is scaring himself, but it is difficult to avoid feeling fear. Just like when he gets up in the middle of the night and goes to the toilet, he will look at all the objects in his house in a human form.
Jarvis stood on Wanda's side, not entirely because of their personal affair. He was in the best condition here, especially in his mental state. He had just had a relationship module that he had not long ago, but he actually didn't understand what others were panicking. He had no similar feelings at all.
Both sides had their own opinions, and finally all their eyes fell on Star Lord and the rocket raccoon on his shoulders. Quill sighed, glanced at Wanda, and glanced at Riley again, and said:
"To be honest, it's not very important for me to come up with the investigation report and go back to submit the payment, but I think we have to figure out what's going on here."
"If there is no detailed report, do you think S.H.E.L.D. or NASA will give up sending people here? And without the same strong strength as you, how many investigative agents or scientists can come out of here alive?"
Quill's words just hit Riley, and his expression began to shake, because he knew that Quill's words made sense, and that if they returned in a defeat, those who covet treasures would not stop their investigation.
Even if these superpowers present repeatedly emphasized to them how dangerous this place is, there will still be forces sending people to die here, which is something that no Spider-Man wants to see.
Seeing Riley shaken, Wanda slowed down her tone, and she said: "We don't want to rush over, we can use magic or mechanical detection to test it first. If there is danger, we will ask for support on the spot."
"If the danger is so great that we cannot solve it, then there will naturally be people who can solve them." Jarvis also said: "Whether it is an ordinary person or a mutant, no one wants to see any uncontrollable dangers on the earth. We are not fighting alone."
Riley sighed deeply, his spider-sensing bell ringing did not slow down, but he could only compromise and lowered his head and said, "Okay, but we have to do at least two rounds of checks first, and then move forward."
Quill walked up and patted Riley on the shoulder, took out a set of equipment from his travel bag, namely a small flying saucer that could be suspended and fly and a monitoring screen.
Quill snapped his fingers and said, "This is a military product eliminated by the Scrool Empire. Yongdu bought it from the black market. Even if he was bathed in the energy of the stars, he could hold on for a short time, which was enough to pass the data back."
After saying that, he remotely controlled the small flying saucer to fly to the place where the light ball was. Everyone came forward to look at the screen in the monitoring screen. The screen was pitch black and there was nothing. After flying for a while, the small flying saucer approached the light ball and could no longer move forward.
"It seems that this is just a lamp?" Quill said in confusion: "Apart from the light, no strange energy was monitored. There was nothing behind it. It was just an ordinary channel. Maybe we were a little fussy."
Seeing this, Wanda walked forward, took a few deep breaths, and tried to concentrate. The red energy like a ribbon spread forward. The faint red light illuminated the passage, but he still did not find the monster they imagined in the passage.
After approaching the light, a red power ribbon wrapped around it, but it did not trigger any strange reaction. The spot of light just hangs there like a large light bulb.
"Hey, I thought it would be a big deal." The Rocket Raccoon stretched out his claws and touched his nose, and said, "This may be a light bulb used for alien lighting. We are too rich in association, so we don't think there is a monster behind it."
"The passage behind it looks very long, and there may be some rooms and some other things behind it, and I think we have to hurry up."
No monster rushed out of the darkness, which made everyone feel relieved. Riley shrugged and said, "Okay, I'm nervous and fussy, let's go."
"Doesn't it matter if your charlatan sensing?" asked Rocket Raccoon.
"That's not a charlatan." Riley frowned, not knowing how to explain it, but he was used to this feeling. Most people don't trust things like sensing, thinking that it might be an hallucination that occurs when mentally nervous.
To be honest, even Riley himself is not so sure that spider sensing must be right, or in other words, the genuine spider sensing may be right, but he is a clone after all, so it is hard to say whether the program will go wrong.
After verifying that there is no danger ahead, Riley tried hard to block the buzz in his mind and followed the team forward.
And as the slender passage gradually became smaller in the field of view and the two huge heads were hidden in the darkness, Strange retracted his gaze, looked at Stark, and said, "They made a stupid decision."
Stark said thoughtfully: "Have you heard of a fish called 'Saked' in the deep sea?"
"certainly."
"People always say that the light bulbs on the head of a squid fish are not a very clever trap, and those who are deceived are all stupid fish."
"But from another perspective, the human visual evolution of land creatures must be higher than that of fish in the deep sea, so from our perspective, we cannot understand why some fish only see light bulbs but cannot see the terrifying huge mouth behind it."
Stark's eyes flashed and he said in a low tone: "Maybe sometimes, humans are also those stupid fish, and some aspects of us have not evolved to see the trap behind the light bulbs clearly."
Then, the two of them turned their eyes to the villain on the map, and at this time, the Scarlet Witch who was walking in the front was approaching the glowing light bulb.
"No, wait a moment! Wanda, don't go over!!!"
Suddenly, a roar rang in the passage, Riley covered her head and shook her head like crazy. The spider's violent alarm sound could no longer be ignored in any way, but it was too late.
The entire passage shaking violently, and the bright light swallowed all the darkness, but the light did not come, only endless falls.
The originally bright ball of light suddenly turned into a very small dark hole, and the storm of power was like a deep sea vortex, rotating all the scum into the lightless abyss.
The pattern formed by the turbine and the small black hole in the middle form a pupil-like pattern. The gray eyes blinked, and Schiller, who was sitting in front of the desk, rubbed his tight wrists.
At this time, another small figure jumped onto the desk, and Pig Man sat at the desk and looked at Shiller and said: What is special about the universe where the portal of the spider totem you opened that leads to?”
"Special? Nothing special." Schiller shook his head and smiled, then added: "...it's just particularly dangerous."
