Chapter 478: Elixir
The aircraft landed on the mothership.
Tony Stark, who had a slight scratch on his steel suit, and Thor, who had a gloomy and sullen face, were the first to walk out of the back cabin. Thor held his thunderhammer in one hand and Loki's arm in the other, and walked silently on the wind-swept deck.
As soon as everyone walked into the mothership, a group of heavily armed soldiers, as if they were waiting for everyone, immediately greeted them.
"Don't worry, we just want to get the Cosmic Cube from him. Before he says the whereabouts of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, I think it's better to keep him locked up. Steve Rogers put one hand on Thor's shoulder, lest he riot again.
"I know." Thor let go of his grip on Loki and nudged him in the back from behind.
The group of soldiers immediately split up and grabbed Loki's backward handcuffed arms from the left and right and carried him away.
"Welcome, Thor." After the group left, they were greeted by Coulson, who had dealt with Thor.
"What are you going to do with him? I want to hear the truth. Thor asked, covering his forehead, as he followed the group toward the interior of the mothership.
"How? Ordinary methods of torture have no significant effect on you. You are completely different on the inside, except that you look like humans. We don't have much at our disposal right now. If you can, we'd like you to be able to get the whereabouts of the Cosmic Cube out of his mouth. It's too dangerous. You don't want Loki to use him to harm this inhabited planet, do you? Coulson had a bitter face, even with the bitter expression of his always cheerful face. It's a little funny, but it's really a sight to behold.
"I already asked when I got here, and he didn't say." Thor replied sullenly, "I have to take him back." Let him be punished by the law of Asgard. ”
"Even you don't know what he's up to?" Coulson was a little disappointed.
"He has an army of Zetarians, no one knows where they came from, and he intends to lead this army to invade you, and that army will help him take this place." Thor briefly recounted what he had heard since he pursued Loki. He also heard the news, and then he managed to come here.
"Zetarians?" Coulson sensitively clasped the words in Thor's words.
"Yes, it's mysterious. I guess Loki made a deal with them using the Cosmic Cube to get their help. Thor said frankly.
"The army? An army of outer space? Steve Rogers and Natasha, who were walking on the side, looked at each other worriedly. This is not good news. Originally, I thought that Loki was the only threat. Just deal with Loki, retrieve the Cosmic Cube from him, and let Thor take him. Everything can be restored to peace.
But for now, it seems that they are taking it for granted. Loki also has an even bigger problem in store for them.
"Outer space? Then he should have to build another portal. Tony Stark, who had taken off his helmet, interjected.
"Cosmic Rubik's Cube."
Coulson and Natasha were speechless. They know very well that the Cosmic Cube is something that can connect two worlds together. Now it's back to square one. That is, if you want to solve these troubles, you still need to find the Rubik's Cube first.
"We don't know when we'll be able to find the Cosmic Rubik's Cube. Although, according to Dr. Banner. As long as they are frantically using the energy of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube. They will be exposed very quickly. But who knows that it won't be too late then. So Thor, we're going to have to get Loki to open his mouth and figure out how to find a way! Natasha paused, her azure eyes looking at Thor, her gorgeous face grim.
"I think I can help if I just want him to speak. Of course, I'm not sure if my approach will work 100% of the time. Tang Bai raised his hand and interjected.
Everyone who was moving forward was suddenly stunned. Qi Qi stopped, and each turned his head to look at Tang Bai who spoke.
"You have a way. Tang Dynasty? Coulson had a gleam in his eyes. After all, he is the person who has the most contact with Tang Bai in S.H.I.E.L.D. and is the most familiar with him, even if he still doesn't know Tang Bai's past, but the feeling Tang Bai gave him in the contact, as well as the abilities he showed, can give people an inexplicable sense of trust in this kind of thing.
In the current situation of anxiety, Tang Baiken's move is simply a surprise for Coulson.
"We can only test it." After Tang Bai replied, he glanced at Thor again, and said comfortingly: "It's just a medicine that makes people confide their inner secrets." Even if it doesn't work, it won't have any bad effects on Loki's body. ”
"Hallucinogen-like?" Although Coulson knew that the potion that Tang Bai took out at the moment could not be the one they used to induce confession, he still asked more out of professional sensitivity.
"It's just a potion." Tang Bai spread his hands and said.
"What is needed? I'll have someone prepare it for you right away. Coulson's authority obviously belongs to the authority to make certain major decisions, and after receiving Tang Bai's reply, he immediately made a decision without even consulting Nick Fury first. And Natasha didn't show any anomalies about it.
"I always make it regularly and take it with me. I'm afraid when I'll use it. Tang Bai made a gesture and reached into his coat pocket and took out a flat, palm-sized iron box from it. It takes a lot of time to make, and like most potions, it is difficult to store. I'm just a small can, and if it doesn't work, if I want to increase the dose, or do another trial, I'll have to wait until a week later. ”
Having potions such as Truth Elixir on hand is a rather cumbersome and luxurious thing for an individual. Although the potion for making the elixir is not scarce, even in Harry's world, not many wizards always have this on their own from time to time.
What's more, potions for wizards are in demand, and then they are made. As for time spent or something, that's not on the radar of most wizards.
Under Coulson's color signal, Natasha took the truth elixir handed over by Tang Bai, and asked Tang Bai before leaving: "The dosage you take, is it the whole jar inside?" ”
"Of course. Maybe time is a little tight, so after the potion takes effect, get straight to the point. The location of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, his plans and so on. Tang Bai nodded and replied. (To be continued......)
