"Ling, you must know that it is because of you that I came to this very dangerous muddy water." Already inside the S.H.I.E.L.D. underground base, Professor Randolph was still chattering.

At Lingxiao's villa, as soon as Professor Randolph heard Skye and them mention the spatial portal, his face immediately changed greatly, and he shook his head and refused vigorously.

You must know that the earth is in a position of connecting the previous and the next among the nine kingdoms of the World Tree System, and the other seven kingdoms must pass through it before they can reach Asgard, so there are many unknown spatial cracks on the earth, leading to mysterious and dangerous other worlds.

These other worlds not only include the other major kingdoms in the world tree system, but also the locations of various forces in the depths of the universe, Asgard has existed for billions of years, I don't know how many people have tried to go to Asgard through the earth, and in the past countless years of history, the earth has left too many secrets.

"After all, it's about saving people, and we'll do our best to help." Ling Xiao appeased Randolph, looked at Coulson, who was also a little silent, and didn't say anything more, the conditions he proposed before, Coulson didn't agree, but he didn't completely refuse, just said that in the end, if the path to the alien planet can be opened stably, then Ling Xiao can enter the alien planet at any time through the strange stone gate.

Just like what Ling Xiao said at the beginning, Coulson thought that Ling Xiao was eyeing the resources existing in the alien planet, but if he could enter the alien planet stably, how could S.H.I.E.L.D. give up such a thing.

As for completely rejecting Ling Xiao, Coulson shook his head, still denying his thoughts, the alien planet is undoubtedly dangerous, they need someone who has the strength to survive on the alien planet, if it is only with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s own ability, the risk is undoubtedly very great.

And Ling Xiao is completely different, his strength is also ranked high among the Avengers, which has been confirmed in the Seoul and Sokovia incidents, and in the Dark Elf War, he has entered the other world several times, and his experience is also rich, so in this matter, he is undoubtedly the most suitable person, S.H.I.E.L.D. needs such a person to be in front.

Entering the restricted area of the base, Ling Xiao saw this strange stone door in a high-strength glass box at first glance, turned left and right, and after observing for a long time, he said with some surprise: "Although I don't want to disappoint you, this looks like an ordinary ......."

Before Randolph finished speaking, the strange stone door inside suddenly turned into a black turbid liquid, and after tumbling a few times, it turned back into the appearance of a strange boulder, which directly startled Randolph, and he asked with a somewhat solemn face: "How often does he change like this?" ”

"It's completely random." Fitz sighed slightly, they had been observing for so long and had not found a pattern in its changes.

"It's definitely not random." Ling Xiao's face was also solemn, he just touched it with a wisp of expression, which triggered a violent reaction from the strange stone gate, if he hadn't prepared it a long time ago, I'm afraid that the wisp of divine consciousness just now would have been swallowed by it!

Randolph agreed with Ling Xiao and said, "Yes, this may seem random, but it's clear that something is causing it to change!" ”

Fitz shook his head, and said with a somewhat ugly face: "I compared the tides, solar activity, rotation ......"

"On this planet?" Randolph pointed out the crux of the matter in one sentence, the information that Fitz was able to come up with and compare was all relevant data on Earth, and the root cause of the changes in this strange boulder was probably from the planet opposite.

Fitz was dumbfounded when he heard this, which he had never thought of, but he thought about it, even if he did, what if it was based on the data of that planet...... He didn't have the data of that planet at all, how could he judge the law of change in this strange stone gate!

"So you don't know how to control it." Professor Randolph looked up at Coulson and asked, "Then why did you come to me, I'm not an expert in interstellar travel, I've never studied gravitational lensing, or zero-point energy fields, or quantum harmonic oscillation theory......"

"But you're saying so much jargon." Barbara, the fifth person present, pointed out the key to Professor Randolph.

There were only five of them in the room, and Fitz and Barbara had been researching the strange stone door, and after Simmons' disappearance, Barbara began to take her place, introducing some of the jobs that had previously belonged to Simmons.

Few people know that Barbara actually graduated from Georgia Tech, has a Ph.D. in biology, and once participated in a secret research project of the government's super soldier serum, and it was because of Barbara's outstanding performance during her employment with the government that she attracted the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Coulson saw more strange things on the side, and he said directly: "You seem to be afraid of the portal, you are afraid of being dragged home by the portal, so I think you have stumbled over the years, probably investigating every legend related to it." ”

"And I noticed that you looked at the location of each exit and wondered if you could get out safely, and it was clear that you recognized it." Barbara was equally blunt: "You came with us to make sure it really exists." ”

"Ling, help me say a few words!" Randolph was a little uncomfortable by Barbara and Coulson, and had to look at Ling Xiao behind.

"Oh!" Ling Xiao casually answered the doctor, but his gaze still fell on this strange stone door, and at the same time said: "Didn't you notice that there is something wrong with this stone door, it seems that it has been cut from a whole, not that it is a separate whole." ”

Randolph turned and his gaze fell on the edge of the stone door, where there were no signs of artificial cutting, but the fractured interface was gentle.

Randolph nodded and said approvingly: "You're right, it was originally very likely to be a very huge overall stone gate, and it was likely to be a stable spatial passage, but then for some unknown reason, this spatial passage was destroyed, which also caused this stone gate to be shattered." ”

"But what is the reason?" Ling Xiao squinted his eyes and said with a guess: "There is no doubt that he has encountered a huge accident that caused the stable spatial passage to be shattered, but now the spatial passage opened through this stone door is extremely narrow, and the time it has been opened for a short time. ”

According to Jia Ying's words, this stone gate has the ability to destroy the Inhuman race, which shows that the shattering of this stone door is inseparable from the Inhuman race, and it is also likely to be related to the Kree people, can it be ......

Ling Xiao had a guess in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, once he said it, then things would be really troublesome!

Turning to look at Randolph, Ling Xiao asked in a deep voice, "Professor, can you tell us about the history you know about him, and the purpose of your visit?" ”

"My purpose!" Randolph smiled bitterly and said, "You may not believe it, this is the first time I've seen it with my own eyes, I've only heard some stories about him in the rumors, and I really came here to confirm its existence, and then destroy it!" ”

"If you're going to destroy it, you'll have to step over my corpse first." Fitz's face sank, this stone door was the only way he could get Simmons back, and he didn't allow anything to ruin his hopes.

"Young man, don't believe it, I can, I really can, I have this strength." Randolph didn't care about Fitz's threat at all, he looked at Barbara and Coulson and said, "But I don't know what the female King Kong and the robot can do today, so I'll help you save her back, I'm not completely hard-hearted, but if it succeeds, I want you to promise that we will destroy this portal and no one will cross through it again." ”

"If I could, I would be able to sleep better at night, but you need to ask his opinion now." Coulson looked at Ling Xiao and said, "He plans to make good use of this stone door after the matter is over!" ”

Of course, Randolph was also aware of Ling Xiao's conditions proposed by Coulson, but he still hoped that Ling Xiao would agree to his request, so he asked directly, "Ling, what is your opinion?" ”

"Me?" Ling Xiao shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "I only ask for one chance to go back and forth alone, and after that, just destroy it." ”
