"What?!"

Hearing the words from Vision's mouth, Tony was still a little puzzled.

However, he soon understood what the other party meant by being too late.

Rikers Island Prison, as Vision's words fell, the crowd that had been quietly gathered raised their heads one after another.

They turned their necks and looked at Tony and the others with strange and fanatical expressions on their faces.

“……”

As a member of the Avengers, Tony believes that he can be calm no matter what kind of situation he faces.

However, under the pressure of this strange silence, even Tony couldn't help but breathe wrong under the pressure of the strange and fanatical gazes of hundreds of people in front of him.

The palm of the steel suit let out a low sound, and Tony was even ready to strike.

It's just that the expected scene of everyone rushing forward did not happen.

After silently sweeping past Tony and the others, the crowd turned their heads one by one and turned their gazes back to what was in front of them.

"Triangle, follow my call, mental barrier, secret and strict defense, follow my orders, destroy the barrier ......"

Looking straight ahead, a prisoner in the crowd dressed with tattoos all over his neck and face spoke, followed by more and more prisoners behind him.

The spell spread through the crowd like a virus, and finally under Tony's gaze, both the prisoner and the prison guard chanted the mysterious incantation in unison, and began to walk in a certain direction of the Rikers Island prison.

The movement of such a large number of people inside the Rikers Island prison is not a normal thing.

Contacting the information that Vision had received through the Mind Gem, Tony's eyes flickered in Mark51.

"These people have to keep up."

However, with only a slight hesitation, Tony decided to keep up with the moving crowd.

After all, the Avengers have no information about what happened in the Rikers Island prison.

Although Vision was able to obtain some information through his abilities, the fragmented information could not help Tony figure out what had happened to the Rikers Island prison during the time he had lost contact, and where the anomaly that had caused everything in front of him was hidden.

In Mark51, during the time that Tony was thinking, Vision's originally weak body also recovered somewhat.

After all, people and human physiques cannot be generalized, especially when it comes to transcendent beings like Vision.

His body itself is different from ordinary people, and it has mutated in the radiation of space cosmic storms, and then through the experiments of Tony and others, the already powerful physical fitness has been further improved.

Shaking his head, although the constant tingling sensation on his forehead reminded Vision, the side effects of overusing the power of the Mind Gem did not dissipate, and even the small cracks in the gem setting area of his forehead were still clearly visible, even for Vision, which had a powerful self-healing ability, these cracks could not be recovered in a short time.

However, aside from the inability to wield the power of the Mind Gem, Vision's other abilities were no longer affected.

Turning his head and looking at the silently moving crowd in front of him with his orange eyes, Vision recalled what he had just obtained with the Mind Gem, and pieced it together: "Mr. Stark, the people of Rikers Island Prison are conducting a mysterious summoning ritual to summon otherworldly beings from another dimension to land in reality......

"Another dimension?"

In the face of the information confided in Vision's mouth, Mark 51 Netoni's expression changed suddenly.

"Is it a place like Asgard's Asgard where Thor is?"

"Or the existence of the [Extraterritorial Heavenly Demon] that Penglai mentioned?"

The existence of another dimension is very unfamiliar even to the Avengers.

The only thing they came into contact with that could be related to the dimension was Thor and the [Extraterritorial Heavenly Demon] in the Penglai Seal.

Of course, either way, it proves the horror and danger of life in another dimension.

Needless to say, Thor is on the side of humanity as a member of the Avengers.

However, it is impossible to ignore the fact that as the god of thunder in the mythological records of the earth, Thor has shown a powerful power that is far beyond human imagination.

If Thor, who landed on Earth in the first place, was not a friendly party to humanity but had malicious intentions like Loki, the harm he could have caused was almost unimaginable.

Not to mention the [Extraterritorial Heavenly Demon] [Shouhe] that ran out of the Penglai Seal, if it wasn't for the [Turtle Immortal] sacrificing his life to seal the [Shouhe] into Master Ye's body at that time. Today, the whole of New York may be hidden by yellow sand.

All of this is mentioned to illustrate the dangers of extradimensional creatures.

"Since that's the case, then we can't let these people go."

"Whether the purpose of their ritual is to summon other-dimensional creatures or something else, we can't make this ritual go smoothly."

Although, it is unclear what the extradimensional object summoned by the rituals of the people in the prison on Rikers Island is, Tony is ready to stop it.

"Friday, scan and change suit mode."

His gaze swept over the slowly moving crowd praying in front of him, and Tony immediately opened his mouth to give instructions to the subsystem in Mark 51 that he had named Friday.

"Yes, Mr. Stark."

With Tony's command, an infrared ray from Mark51's eye quickly scanned the figure passing by.

Immediately afterward, Tony's Mark 51 nanosuit began to writhele into an orange prison suit.

With the prison uniform transformed into a nano suit, Tony easily blended in with the moving crowd.

On the other hand, Vision also controlled the body to blur into a faint phantom, and Ultron transformed his mechanical body to fold his originally tall body to about half of a normal person, and also hid into the crowd.

Under normal circumstances, this series of actions by Tony and others.

It should have caused a reaction from the crowd in front of them a long time ago, after all, no matter how well they hid it, they would eventually be incompatible with the prisoners around them.

Therefore, after Tony blended into the crowd, he was actually a little uneasy in his heart, worried that he would soon be debunked by the people on the side.

However, after moving with the crowd for a while, Tony understood what Vision had previously said about mind invasion.

On the surface, these people still seem to be able to walk and talk normally.

But in fact, their thinking has long been controlled, and everything they are doing at the moment is just actions under the control of their minds, and there is no consciousness of their own at all.

Mixed with the moving crowd, Tony's mouth muttered a spell from the mouth of a prisoner beside him, his eyes swept over the figure in front of him that seemed to be carved out of a mold, and the figure that kept repeating the spell in his mouth with neat steps and feet, gradually a chill continued to emerge from his heart.

……

"Triangle, follow my call, mind barrier, secret...... Well, stopped......"

Rikers Island Prison.

Tony lowered his head and hid his figure from the moving crowd.

I don't know how long I walked like this, but the prisoner in front of him, who had been walking, stopped, and at the same time stopped praying, and Tony, who was silently vigilant, immediately stopped, and turned his eyes to look around.

Judging from the layout of the surrounding environment and some of the equipment that has been moved and scattered, it seems that the place where the crowd stayed at this time seems to be the square of the original Rikers Island Prison, that is, the only place where prisoners could move in prison life in the past.

Of course, this is in the past.

Now, Tony's gaze swept over the intricate spells carved on the ground, and the strange and fanatical figures of the candles held around him, and the high platform at the front of the crowd, which was originally used by prison guards to stand guard and supervise the prisoners' free movement, was now clearly transformed into a strangely shaped altar.

On the altar, a figure in a red hood turned his back to him, waving his arms and making all sorts of exaggerated movements.

"Looks like this red hood should be the leader of the entire ritual in Rikers Island prison?"

The difference between the Red Hood and the appearance of the Rikers Island prison immediately made Tony have a judgment in his heart.

"So, does that mean that just stopping the Red Hood can interrupt this weird ritual?"

Hidden in the crowd, Tony's gaze fell on the Red Hood, and his eyes began to flicker.

"If I were you, I wouldn't do it."

However, before Tony could put his inner thoughts into action, a familiar voice sounded in his ear.

"Jack Simon!"

Hearing this, Tony turned his head and saw Jack Simon, who had disappeared from the Rikers Island prison, and he didn't know when he came behind him.

"Keep your head down, Tony."

Looking at this mysterious collaborator, Tony didn't have time to ask.

I saw Jack Simon on the other side open his mouth and reminded himself with his mouth.

Noticing the corners of Jack Simon's mouth, although Tony stopped the words on his lips, he subconsciously lowered his head according to Jack Simon's reminder.

The next moment when Tony lowered his head, Parker Robbins, who was still standing on the altar with his back to the crowd, turned around, his gaze swept over the prisoners standing densely in front of him, frowned, but still withdrew his gaze, and at the same time gestured to the prisoners holding candles on either side.

At the instruction from Parker Robbins, the prisoners immediately raised the candles in their hands, and the strange and fanatical expressions on the prisoners' faces became even more terrifying under the light of the flickering fire.

They waved the candles in their hands and began to pray aloud: "Triangle, do as I call, the mind is blocked, the secret is strictly guarded, and by my orders, destroy the barrier......"

"Triangle, follow my call, mental barrier, secret and strict defense, follow my orders, destroy the barrier ......"

"Triangle, follow my call, the ...... of the Mental Barrier"

As they prayed, beside Tony, the prisoners who had been quiet spoke again, chanting in unison.

In the midst of a prayer, the spell, which seemed like a joke to Tony, began to become strange and inexplicable.

A deep sense of uneasiness began to spring up in his heart.

"Why did you stop me?"

Suppressing his inner turmoil, Tony struggled to keep himself from looking at the prisoner beside him who was silently chanting incantations, and said to Jack Simon behind him.

"As you can see, the red hood on the altar seems to be a key player in the whole ritual."

"I just don't want to see you die."

In the face of Tony's questioning, Jack Simon replied with a solemn expression.

"You should have seen that a strange ritual is going on in the Rikers Island Prison, I originally affected the Rikers Island Prison because it was only a certain anomaly, but obviously it is not that simple, if I am not mistaken, there should be a will from another dimension that controls the progress of all this, the red hood on the altar is just a puppet chosen by it, it can choose a puppet, it can choose a second one. So, even if you stop the other person, you won't be able to stop the ritual, but you will be exposing yourself to danger. ”

"According to what you said, are we just watching the ceremony complete!"

There was some truth to Jack Simon's words, but the constant prayers in his ears and the growing uneasiness in his heart made Tony ask in a low voice.

"Of course not."

Shaking his head slightly, he looked up and swept around again, especially stopping on the red hood on the altar.

Jack Simon said silently: "Since it is a ritual, then there must be loopholes, especially this ritual of summoning alien creatures to land, although it is impossible to determine which dimension of the creature is trying to land in the real world, but the ritual of using more than 10,000 people in the Rikers Island prison represents that this extradimensional life form cannot easily come to the world we are in, that is to say, the real world has great resistance to the dimensional life of the ritual, so it needs to use the people of the entire prison to carry out the ritual, In this way, it counteracts the blockage of the real world. ”

"Of course, the people in the prison on Rikers Island are just mediums, and if other dimensional beings want to come to the real world, they need an introduction in addition to the medium, just as an anomaly must be attached to an object or human to show its effects, and if dimensional life wants to come, it needs not only rituals but also guidance or signposts to avoid landing in the wrong dimensional world."

"So, the most important thing is to find the signpost for the arrival of the other dimension, and destroy it to prevent the other party from coming to our world, as for the signpost, I already have a clue, the guide used by the Rikers Island Prison to summon the other dimension seems to be a ...... of the day"

In the crowd, just as Jack Simon was about to say the key to the ceremony to Tony.

Boom –

Suddenly, a loud explosion rang out in the Rikers Island prison.

"Tony, where are you!"

The explosion was accompanied by a familiar voice.
