Chapter 352: Magic
"Are you sure where the escaped exhibit is?"
Stark Industries, New Energy Building.
Agent Hill withdrew his gaze from the news report on the resurrected item on the screen in front of him, and turned to Tony in question.
Since the forced disbandment of S.H.I.E.L.D., Agent Hill has come to Tony's company and continues to work with the Avengers.
"Nope."
Frowning, Tony shook his head as he looked at the positioning picture presented by Jarvis on the screen.
It was even more troublesome than he had imagined, and Jarvis's lock-on on to the iron bird lasted only an hour before it disappeared.
"There are only two possibilities in the current situation, one is that the exhibit lost its charm during the flight and blended into the iron flock and caused Jarvis to lose his target, and the second possibility is that Mark43 caught up with the exhibit and obtained the charm, either possibility is undoubtedly a worse result for the current situation."
"I've said a long time ago, with the so-called scientific and technological power in your mouth, you can't find a spell at all."
Bowing his head and taking a sip of the hot tea in the cup, Dad said with an expected expression: "You need magic to defeat magic, and only magic can find spells with magical powers." ”
"In that case, why aren't you going to look for the magic of the [Rat Charm], Daddy?"
Holding a large number of things in his hand, the doppelganger [Uncle Long] made a swaying appearance and asked his father who was sitting on the sofa.
"Do you think it's so easy to prepare for magic, Aaron!"
In this regard, Daddy pricked up his eyes and raised his tone and scolded: "In the museum before, Daddy spent a lot of mana in order to prepare to suppress the power of the [Rat Charm], and now he must rest for a while to recover the consumed mana, and besides, do you think there is no reason for Dad to let you prepare these things?" ”
"Dad, do you mean that the things you asked me to prepare for the past two days are all for the next magic?"
Carefully put down the miscellaneous things in his hand, and the doppelganger [Uncle Long] cooperated and asked.
"Of course."
Nodding, Daddy continued to drink the hot tea in the cup: "The [Rat Charm] represents the magic of movement, so in order to find this magic mouse, it is necessary to gather ten different cats' hairs, and through a special magic ritual, let it have the power to lock the magic power of the [Rat Charm]. ”
"Cat's hair?"
In the new energy building, Tony couldn't help but raise his eyebrows as he looked at the cluttered items in the office and his father's explanation.
Although, the appearance of the spell made him not question too much about the so-called magical power,
However, the method of using the so-called cat hair to track the [Rat Charm] still sounds a little too strange to Tony's ears.
"Daddy, can you really find the [Rat Charm] with this method?"
Through the magic ritual of unknown meaning in Daddy's mouth, he successfully gained some legend from Tony and Agent Hill, and the doppelganger [Uncle Long] immediately made a puzzled expression and asked the doubts in the hearts of the two.
"Aaron, have you forgotten, never doubt Daddy's words! That's right. It doesn't matter if it's a black cat or a white cat, the one that can catch a mouse is a good cat. Hearing the doppelganger's question, Dad put down the teacup in his hand and replied with a displeased face: "By the way, there is one more thing, Aaron!" ”
"What's the matter, Daddy?"
"Prepare me some more hot tea."
……
New York, John F. Kennedy International Airport.
"Welcome back, Natasha."
Lowering the cap on his head, Steve looked at the girl who walked out of the exit of the airport hall, and immediately stepped forward to welcome and whispered his welcome.
"Captain."
Opened her arms and hugged Captain America in front of her gently, looking at the tall man in front of her, Natasha couldn't help but smile and said, "I originally thought I could rest for a while." ”
After S.H.I.E.L.D. was forced to disband, Natasha, who revealed her identity, went abroad with the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Nick Fury to prepare for her new identity.
Complaining in a joking tone, Natasha looked at Steve, who still looked serious in front of her, and quickly guessed the other party's situation.
"It seems that Captain, your situation during this period is not very good."
In the face of Natasha's inquiry, Steve nodded: "Dio's hiding is deeper than I expected, especially with the fall of Hydra, and finally the clues about vampires have disappeared, although I have been trying to find the other party, but, without complete information, it is obviously not easy to find a vampire in the vast sea of people in New York alone." ”
"It's the same with Nick Fury."
In fact, not only is Steve's search for Dior blocked, but even Nick Fury, who faked his death and went overseas to find the Hydra base, is not in a good situation.
Perhaps because in the past, it relied too much on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s powerful intelligence-gathering capabilities to carry out missions, and how it lost this powerful secret service organization as a logistics, and now, in a lonely situation, both the Avengers and the former S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury himself feel more or less uncomfortable.
He shook his head and repressed the knot in his heart.
Steve looked up at the redhead in front of him and turned the conversation back to the resurrection item in New York City: "The trouble that New York City is facing right now is the first thing we need to face than the vampire problem. Tony has already contacted Dr. Banner in India and arranged a connecting flight to pick him up, believing that it will not be long before the doctor arrives. ”
Because of the danger of Banner, or Hulk itself, neither Banner nor Tony would let the other party choose the ordinary way to enter the country like Natasha.
"What's going on?"
Following in Steve's footsteps, the two walked out of the airport as Natasha asked.
After receiving contact from Agent Hill, Natasha also collected some information about what happened on the streets of New York through some online media and blurry video footage.
But apparently, these rudimentary videos and vague reports alone are not enough for the former super agent to draw a complete inference.
"I didn't know much about the situation because I wasn't in the museum at the time. However, listening to Tony and the description of the containment expert Dragon, everything in front of us still seems to come from a power that we are familiar with - charms. ”
"Charms?"
Hearing Steve's answer, Natasha couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
She is naturally no stranger to spells.
Previously, during the search for the [Holy Lord], she also saw the power of the [Dragon Charm] with the power of explosion and the power of the immortal [Dog Charm].
"So which spell is it this time?"
"The [Rat Charm] has the magical power to make the static change, and the dinosaur skeleton that is now being held in the New York Police Department is the result of the power of this charm."
"Let the silence change."
Although she had seen the power of many charms, and S.H.I.E.L.D. had also been exposed to the magic of several charms before, hearing Steve's description of the power of the [Rat Charm] still shocked Natasha slightly.
"If you let the sealed [Holy Lord] gain the power of this spell."
At the same time, Natasha also quickly associated the power of the [Rat Charm] with the [Holy Lord].
"Actually, that's what Tony thinks, too."
After communicating with Tony, Steve was clearly aware of the complexity and seriousness of the whole incident: "So, in order to be able to find the [Holy Lord] before it notices the appearance of the [Rat Charm], we need Natasha's ability. ”
In terms of combat effectiveness, Natasha may not be outstanding, but as a former super agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., finding and collecting is the strength of this super agent.
Although, Daddy has sworn that as long as he waits until his magic power recovers, he will soon find the trace of the [Rat Charm] through the power of magic. However, under the current situation, in Tony's opinion, every day that dragged on, the possibility of the [Rat Charm] being discovered by the [Holy Lord] increased, and in order to prevent this worst situation from happening, he was willing to use a few more ways to find the [Rat Charm] through various channels.
"I can try and see."
Natasha didn't take it for granted that she didn't know much about the power of magic, and she wasn't sure that the conventional search methods in her hands could be effective against the [Rat Charm] with magical powers.
Therefore, Natasha is still quite cautious about Captain America's expectations.
"I'm sorry, Natasha, I'm a little too anxious."
Hearing Natasha's answer, Steve obviously also found that because of the problem of the [Holy Lord], it was difficult for him to face the situation caused by the [Rat Charm] this time with calm emotions.
Taking a deep breath and trying to suppress his emotions, Steve said with a wry smile.
"It's okay, Captain, I understand."
Nodding, Natasha looked calm.
"I don't know, you're not used to sitting in the ...... of a motorcycle"
In the process of exchanging information, Steve and Natasha have unknowingly arrived at the airport parking place, turned their heads to look at their motorcycle, Steve was about to say something, and suddenly a familiar figure flashed from the corner of his eye made his words pause.
"Bucky?"
……
"Didn't I already warn you, little ghost, don't let me see you in my building again."
Stark Industries, New Energy Building.
With a dark face, Tony watched the familiar car walk into the office in front of him, and Po, who didn't think of himself as an outsider at all, only felt a headache.
"I'm not in the mood to talk to you right now."
"However, Ms. Pepper has already told me that I can enter the Stark Industries building whenever I want." Moving out of Little Pepper, Po held up the miniature version of the mechanical hand armor in his hand and explained: "Moreover, I didn't run up to you for no reason, but because the hand armor was faulty and I couldn't repair it, I had to ......."
"What the hell are you doing with the armor I gave you?"
Looking down at the small white powder-stained hand armor in Po's hand, Tony couldn't help but frown.
"Of course, to knead the dough, I found that the palm of this hand armor is big, and the strength is enough, just to help Xie Lu make the dough needed for cooking, through the dough kneaded by this hand armor, more gluten than the general dough, and at the same time without losing the soft and glutinous taste, it is simply the most suitable dough kneading machine, that is, it is easy to break down, some too troublesome."
"Jarvis, now cancel the permission of this imp."
Hearing that the miniature hand armor he specially made was actually used by the nasty imp in front of him to knead the dough, Tony's emotions that he had finally suppressed suddenly exploded again.
"Are you sure, sir, that if you do, Miss Pepper will know what you're doing, and you'll ...... then."
"Wait a minute!"
With Jarvis' "kindness" reminder, Tony struggled for a moment, then gritted his teeth and shouted to stop.
With a cold face, he took the hand armor on Bao's fat little arm, Tony opened his mouth and blew the flour stained on it, looked at the little fat man in front of him who was becoming more and more rounded, gritted his teeth and said in a voice from between his teeth: "You wait, I will notify you when it is repaired." ”
"Yes, but you have to be quick."
Glancing at the small hand armor in Tony's hand with a look of reluctance, Po reminded step by step: "I'm still waiting to knead the dough with this hand armor." ”
Tony: "You! Wait! Make move! ”
"Daddy, Daddy."
Here, Tony vaguely feels a headache because of Po's problem.
On the other side, the doppelganger [Uncle Long] held the teacup in his hand and shouted at the father who was silently distracted in front of him.
This move of the two clones also successfully drew the attention of Agent Hill on the side.
"What's wrong, Aaron."
Coming back to his senses, Dad looked at the doppelganger [Uncle Long] on the side with an expression of hindsight.
"Daddy, you want hot tea."
Stretched out his hand and handed the teacup in his hand to his father, the doppelganger looked at the father with a look on his face, and asked pretending to be puzzled: "Daddy, what were you thinking just now, you didn't even hear me call you tea." ”
"Nothing."
Hearing the doppelganger's inquiry, Dad obviously looked up at the direction where Ah Bao had disappeared, and said with a muttered expression: "I just feel that the little ghost who appeared in the office just now is a little ...... Well, indescribable feelings. ”
"I can't put it into words, what it feels like to be daddy."
"If I knew, it wouldn't be like I couldn't tell."
Reaching out and patting the doppelganger's head, Daddy lowered his head and took a sip of the hot tea in the cup, and replied with an expressionless face.
“……”
On the other side, Agent Hill listened to his father's description, turned his head to look in the direction where Po had disappeared, and blinked, the expression on his face thoughtful.
