At the airport at 2 a.m. in London, Rocky stood in a black coat in the cold night breeze, his eyes searched for the exit location, trying to find a familiar figure among the passengers who had just disembarked from the plane, at first he did not find the person he was looking for, but soon after that figure appeared, his face seemed to be a little reluctant.

Seeing this scene, Rocky smiled, smiled very happily, he knew that his goal had been achieved, although such a goal was based on the other party's extreme reluctance, but this was also a helpless move, after all, he now needed a scientific research talent to assist.

stepped forward, and naturally exposed himself in front of the other party, the figure looked at Rocky with a salty and untamed look, until he reached his own identity, and then said lightly: "This time I will come to help you, only this time." ”

"I naturally know this, if it weren't for Mr. Hank saying that your scientific research level is very top, I wouldn't have known that the original 'master' was in the people!" Rocky shrugged his shoulders and said half-jokingly, "Honestly, I didn't believe it when I first heard it. For the sake of your dislike of scientific research, perhaps only God will know that your scientific research level is not inferior to your father's. But at the end of the day, I earned it this time, and I earned three talents at a time. ”

"As I said, there's only one, I'm an exception, and he doesn't take it too seriously. I've warned you of this before, so don't hope too much. Of course, if you come up with another contract separately, then it can be counted separately. ”

It seems that this is also a kind of relaxation? Rocky was a little stunned, but he remembered how the Miss Hope in front of him rejected scientific research on the phone before, but now he was relieved? This shows that Hank convinced her. But thinking of the relationship between father and daughter, his gaze also became weird. I don't blame him for this, after all, it is common for fathers and daughters to become enemies.

"I see distrust in your eyes, do you think that guy can't convince me?" Hope smiled, a hint of slyness at the corner of his mouth, "I'm sorry. I disappointed you, and he did convince me, so here I am. ”

"Well, no matter what Mr. Hank does, it's best for me that you're here." Rocky said, taking the suitcase from Hope's hand, and slowly walking with her to his car, a very ordinary sedan.

Hope looked at the car with a look of surprise on his face. "It's weird! Although you are not visible in the United States, I have seen your cars before, and now they are not as good as the average office worker......"

"You also say that this is the UK, so naturally you have to follow the local customs." Rocky drove the car and chatted with Hope to ease the momentary confusion of the other party's arrival in a different place, and when the car stopped above his apartment, the two got out of the car.

"This time. I can only grieve you to live here temporarily. It's small though, not as good as the house you've ever lived in. But fortunately, there is everything in it, which is very convenient. Rocky turned on the light and let Hope look at the furniture, the decorations, and the most important research equipment and equipment, and when the other man saw what was inside, he walked to the center of the equipment and put the time in his pocket on it. This seemingly ordinary stone briefly revealed a hint of blue light.

Hope looked around, and when he nodded in satisfaction and was about to speak, his eyes were already attracted by the Time Stone on the device, and he became very focused until the light disappeared for a long time. I heard her ask, "What is this stone?" ”

"You understand the time, don't you?" Rocky asked a question that surprised Hope, and she couldn't understand why Rocky didn't answer the rhetorical question.

Although strange in his heart, Hope still answered the question truthfully, "Time is a relatively abstract concept, and it is the expression of the movement of matter, the continuity of change, and the order. The concept of time consists of two concepts: time and period. Time is a parameter used by human beings to describe the process of material movement or the occurrence of events, and the determination of time depends on the law of periodic changes of matter that is not affected by the outside world. For example, the cycle of the moon around the earth, the cycle of the earth around the sun, the period of rotation of the earth, the period of atomic oscillation, etc. Albert Einstein said that time and space are an illusion of human cognition. The Big Bang theory holds that the universe begins at a singularity, which is also the starting point of time. Before the Big Bang, there was no concept of time at all. ”

Hearing this standard answer, Rocky smiled noncommittally, "Your answer is very good and accurate, and it can be seen that you have a very deep understanding of physics." So since you know what time is, then I want to tell you now that time is not that it cannot be stopped, nor can it be used, but when the energy of a thing is enough to affect the period and the atom oscillates, then time will change, there will be confusion, it will be changed, and then the real axis will have a chain reaction. And the thing that can cause all this is right now in front of our eyes, which is this little stone......"

Hearing Rocky's words, Hope's face couldn't help but be shocked, but after the shock, he was a little skeptical, although Rocky looked mysterious, but the other party's words were a little too unbelievable, although aliens were proven to exist, but this kind of thing has never been proven, "I'm sorry, I don't think I can believe all this you said." If time could change, the world would not be able to function as it is now, we humans would not age over time, plants would not grow, or even ......."

She hadn't finished speaking, but what she was trying to say was obvious, and she trusted Rocky to understand her.

But it's one thing for Rocky to understand, and it's another to refute it, and obviously, he wants to refute, so he smiled and said, "I know this kind of magical thing makes you a little hard to believe for a while, but the truth is better than words......" As he spoke, he picked up the Time Stone and urged the power in it, and saw a blue light from the Time Stone appear, enveloping the whole room, and this was only a momentary thing, as if blinking an eye.

Hope couldn't open her eyes at the blue light, but the first thing she saw when she returned to normal was at the ordinary stone that had become ordinary again, "It's strange, what just happened?" Why do I have a strange delusion? ”

"You're not delusional. It's what really happened, now look at the clock on the wall behind you. Rocky pointed to the clock, which had no movement, and the minute, second, and hour hands had not moved.

When Hope saw this scene, he was taken aback, but then he looked incredulous, "Could it be that you did the above tricks?" ”

"I didn't do anything. You can now see if you can perceive the atomic oscillations around you, and if there are no atomic oscillations, then I can be proud to tell you that everything in this room has been 'fixed' by time. Rocky smiled playfully, his expression very playful, his gaze fixed on the shock on Hope's face, "You should believe what I'm saying by now, right?" Don't be surprised, since aliens are capable of invading Earth, there is indeed something that proves that this mysterious power exists. It can exist too, can't it? ”

Hope was indeed shocked, although shocked, but not very difficult to accept, after a short shock, she couldn't help but sigh, "You told me about this, I have a very bad premonition, I suddenly understand the purpose of you called me here." ”

"You've said it all. We're all smart people, so I'm not going to beat around the bush with you. I want to tell you. I do need your help to help me analyze some of the power contained in the Time Stone. Rocky said, the expression on his face becoming a little calm, "To be honest, it was too easy for me to get this stone, and I suspect that my opponent may have done something in it that I didn't know about. In order to be able to use the power with peace of mind. I had to know the secrets. ”

Hope nodded, indicating that she could understand Rocky's actions, and the expression on her face suddenly became playful, "Seriously, a guy like you can actually know how to be afraid." That's a surprising thing! ”

"Is it necessary to be surprised? I don't think there's any need at all. Rocky shrugged, "I never knew what fear was, but not being afraid doesn't mean not being afraid, and now I'm very afraid of this stone." ”

"Well, jealousy doesn't mean fear, but you're right. So now, I'm going to start my research, and if you're willing to stay on the sidelines, I don't have a problem with that. But it's a pity that if I'm a person by my side, I'm afraid I won't be able to play well......" In front of Rocky, his face did not change, and he took off his coat and changed into a white coat without any embarrassment, in which the sexy figure and seductive black silk made Rocky as a man have an impulse. Hope is undoubtedly a sexy woman, but she knows how to get along with men very well, and she also understands what it means to be in moderation. Of course, the premise of her doing so is that she must meet someone who is like Rocky, who has the same scruples.

Leaving the apartment with a strange smile on his face, Rocky's expression was full of playfulness, but he didn't say anything about the teasing words in his heart, but he was still counting on Hope to analyze the Time Stone, if he offended the other party, then he basically didn't need to think about it.

After leaving the apartment, Rocky returned to the hotel where he was staying, but he still remembered revealing his location to Magneto's daughter, and he didn't know if the other party had found it under his own calculations.

When the elevator on the 8th floor opened, Rocky walked out of it, and there were already four women in different dresses and unusually familiar faces standing in front of his room.

When Rocky sat in the middle of the living room, the four women had already entered the room, and the door was naturally closed, and they sat down opposite him without the slightest politeness, looking at his face, which was silent, waiting for him to speak.

After a long time, Rocky finally spoke, "I know what you want, but I'm sorry, I can't give it to you right now." What is very useful to you, how can it not be true to me? ”

"So there's no way to negotiate?" Emma raised her eyebrows, but instead of looking at Rocky, she looked at Oloro and Jean Grey, who were also looking at her, and the eye contact seemed to indicate something.

"Honestly, I'd love to give it to you, because I really don't need it right now. And, I can assure you that whether I use it or not, even if you get it, you won't be able to use it in any way. Because you don't know what it is, where it comes from, and what power it contains! If a mortal can use this 'contraband', then the existence of the earth has no value, do you think, is my statement right or wrong? ”

Rocky smiled, there was sarcasm in his words, but there was no irony on his face, his words were already very clear, the stone of time is not something that anyone can get their hands on if they want to, Charles is not qualified, Magneto is not qualified, and the only one with this qualification is him, and it can only be him, so no matter how they plan this matter, it is impossible to have any result, because the stone of time is destined to have nothing to do with them.

All right! In this case, if it were an ordinary person, he would have gone away with a blue face, but these four women are the masters who will not give up until they reach their goal, will they listen to Rocky? Of course not, so I heard Jean Grey sneer: "Are you too confident in yourself?" Do you think this is something that only you can use? Don't you think it's ridiculous? We don't know what it is, but we do know what its power is. If this power can be used effectively, then both humans and mutants can benefit, and this is the main thing. ”

"I really didn't see that you have such great sentiments?" The banter on Rocky's face made Jean Grey's heart a little annoyed, and he ignored the other party's inner feelings, and said to himself, "Good for humanity? If that's the case, then I can describe for you an unimaginable consequence......" (To be continued. )
