In front of the round Zen window, Stark and Strange both frowned and looked at the black notebook on the table, Stark pinched it with his index finger and thumb, frowned against his chin and said, "So, how many other companions did this notebook owner find during his adventure?" ”

"Yes, he called them 'witches, Hercules, robots, warriors, and critters,' which sounds a bit like the name of a card."

"Each has its own characteristics." Stark commented, and then added, "It's like it's deliberately arranged." ”

"There is no doubt that the team members with different skills provide greater security for the survival of this team, but in the future, they will face greater challenges."

Strange smiled, snapped his fingers as he spoke, and the black notebook floated to the right of the coffee table, on which a map was spread out.

Strange spread his five fingers, and five points of light flew towards the pages of the black notebook, and then five vivid origami figures jumped out from between the pages.

The first was dressed in a long black robe, a pointed wizard's hat, and the tip of the staff in his hand shone brightly.

The second, a burly man with a shield in his hand, landed on the table with a loud sound and raised a puff of dust.

The body of the third person is made up of several blocks, connected by wires in the middle, and the lower body is a rattling track, and the antenna on the head dangles from side to side.

The fourth is in good shape, wearing an oriental-style kung fu robe, and there is also a Chinese character "wu" written on the back, and it is a beautiful roundhouse kick when he lands.

The fifth is a slender ferret with a large furry tail that nimbly shuttles at the feet of several other members.

The last stickman, carrying a travel bag, landed in the very center of the map.

Stark's eyes scanned the small paper figures and read their names out in order: "Witches, Hercules, robots, warriors, critters, and the owner of the notebook, let's call him 'the main character'." ”

Strange nodded, his fingers pressed lightly on the tabletop, and the light of magic shot out from his fingertips like electricity, and like veins of leaves, connecting to the feet of each paper figure.

As the glow of magic enveloped the bodies of all the paper figures, they moved as if they had been given life, looked at their bodies in amazement, and then turned to look at their companions.

Strange lifted the other end of the magical ray, his fingers opening and closing his fingers, and threw them into the black notebook void.

When the notebook and the paper figures were connected by magical energy, they regained their senses from their ignorance, glanced at each other, and then clenched their weapons and looked at the unknown journey ahead of the map.

Stark and Strange both leaned forward and leaned their heads closer to the map, staring at the movements of the paper figures, who seemed to be unaware of the two people who were observing them in mid-air, but chattered about it.

"I think you're completely overthinking, it seems that the point of light in front of us is what we want to investigate, we only need to take two more steps to get a result that is almost interchangeable, and I have been back for the time I have been struggling with."

Wanda crossed her arms, and there seemed to be some anger building up between her eyebrows, the part of Miss Witch's personality that she inherited from her father was vividly displayed at this moment, and she preferred to cut through the mess quickly rather than act cautiously.

"I know, Wanda, I know you're strong, but my spider sense has never been wrong, and what lies ahead must be dangerous, even something we may not be able to handle."

Riley's brow furrowed deeper than Wanda's, and he stepped forward and said in a somewhat tough manner: "I pulled you to do the mission, so I must be responsible for your safety, I can't accept that anyone is injured here, even if it's not at all." ”

"But we're all here." Wanda paced in place in confusion, and said, "Just a few more steps and the task is complete, you overestimate its difficulty, we shouldn't waste any more time." ”

"Alright, alright, Wanda." Riley stretched out two hands to reassure Wanda, and said, "I called you here to complete my mission, but now I'm going to give up this mission and points, so we can leave now, and there is no need to stay here." ”

"You're wasting our time!"

"I'm not a prophet, I can't predict what happened here, I'm thinking about your safety!"

As the quarrel between the two became more and more intense, and the others had to join the fight, Xu Shangqi was on Riley's side because he really didn't feel very comfortable.

Not only physiologically, but his rich ability to associate allows him to see the darkness around him too complicated, he knows that he is scaring himself, but it is difficult to avoid feeling fear, just like when he gets up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, he will look at everything in the house as similar to a human form.

Jarvis is on Wanda's side, and it's not all because of their personal affairs, he is the best state here, especially the mental state, he just had the emotional module for a short time, in fact, he can't understand what other people are panicking about, he doesn't feel similar at all.

Both sides disagreed, and finally all eyes fell on Star-Lord and the rocket raccoon on his shoulder, and Quill sighed, glanced at Wanda, then at Riley, and said:

"Seriously, it doesn't really matter to me if I can come up with the investigation report and go back to the business, but I think we have to figure out what's going on here."

"Without a detailed report, do you think S.H.I.E.L.D. or NASA will give up sending people here? And if it weren't for your strength, how many investigative agents or scientists would have made it out of here alive? ”

Quill's words happened to hit Riley, and his expression began to become a little shaken, because he knew that what Quill said made sense, and if they returned with a feather, those who coveted the treasure would not stop their investigation.

Even if these superpowers present repeatedly emphasized to them how dangerous it was here, there would still be a steady stream of forces sending people here to die, which no Spider-Man wanted to see.

Seeing Riley wavering, Wanda also slowed down, she said: "We don't want to rush over in one go, we can use magic or mechanical detection and other means to test it first, if there is danger, we will ask for support on the spot." ”

"If the danger is too great for us to solve, then there will be someone who can solve them." Jarvis also helped: "Whether it is ordinary people or mutants, no one wants to see any uncontrollable dangers on the earth, we are not alone. ”

Riley let out a deep sigh, the rhythm of his spider sensing bell not slowing down, but he could only compromise, lowered his head and said, "Okay, but we're going to do at least two rounds of checks before we move forward." ”

Quill stepped forward and patted Riley on the shoulder, pulling out a set of equipment from his travel bag, a small flying saucer capable of hovering and a monitoring screen.

Quill snapped his fingers and said, "This is a military item eliminated by the Skrol Empire, and Yongdu bought it from the black market, even if it is bathed in the energy of the stellar explosion, it can last for a while, enough to send the data back." ”

After speaking, he remotely controlled the small flying saucer to fly to the place where the light ball was, everyone stepped forward to look at the picture in the monitoring screen, the screen was pitch black, there was nothing, after flying for a while, the small flying saucer approached the light ball, and then it could no longer move forward.

"Looks like it's just a lamp?" Quill said with some confusion: "Except for the glow, there is no strange energy detected, and there is nothing behind it, just the usual channel, maybe we are making a little fuss." ”

Seeing this, Wanda stepped forward, took a few deep breaths, and tried to concentrate, the red energy like a ribbon spread forward, and the faint red light illuminated the passage, but still did not find the monster they imagined in the passage.

Approaching the light, the red ribbon of power wrapped around it, but it didn't cause any strange reactions, and the point of light just floated there, like a large light bulb.

"Hey, I thought I could make a big fuss." Rocket Raccoon stretched out his paw and touched his nose, and said, "Maybe it's a light bulb for alien lighting, but we have too much imagination to think there's a monster behind it." ”

"The passage behind it looks like it's long, maybe some rooms in the back or something, and I think we'll have to hurry."

To everyone's relief that no monster rushed out of the darkness, Riley also shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, it's me who is nervous, making a fuss, let's go." ”

"Doesn't it matter if you have that magic stick sense?" Rocket Raccoon asked.

"That's not a magic stick." Riley frowned, as if he didn't know how to explain it, but he was used to it, and most people didn't trust things like induction, thinking that it might be a hallucination that occurs during mental stress.

To be honest, even Riley himself is not so sure that the spider sense must be right, or that the genuine spider sense may be right, but he is a clone after all, and it is hard to say whether the program will go wrong.

After verifying that there was no danger ahead, Riley tried his best to block out the buzz in his head and followed the team forward.

As the slender passage grew smaller in view, and the two massive heads disappeared into the darkness, Strange withdrew his gaze, looked at Stark, and said, "They made a stupid decision. ”

Stark said thoughtfully, "Have you ever heard of a fish in the deep sea called 'anglerfish'?" ”

"Of course."

"People always say that the light bulb on the head of the anglerfish is not a very clever trap, and that the ones who fall for it are stupid fish."

"But from another point of view, the human vision of land creatures must have evolved more than fish in the deep sea, so from our point of view, we can't understand why some fish only see light bulbs and not see the terrifying giant mouth behind them."

Stark's eyes flickered for a moment, and he said in a deep tone, "Maybe sometimes, humans are also stupid fish, and some aspects of us haven't evolved to be able to see the traps behind the light bulbs. ”

Then, the two of them turned their gaze to the villain on the map, and by this time, the Scarlet Witch who was walking in the front had approached the glowing light bulb.

"No, wait a minute! Don't go over Wanda!! ”

Suddenly, a roar rang out in the passageway, and Riley covered his head and shook his head like crazy, the spider's violent alarm could no longer be ignored in any way, but it was too late.

The entire passage shook violently, and the bright light swallowed up all the darkness, but the light did not come, only endless falling.

The originally bright ball of light suddenly turned into a tiny dark hole, and the storm of power swirled like a deep ocean vortex, spinning all the scum into the lightless abyss.

The pattern formed by the turbine and the small black hole in the middle formed a pupil-like pattern, and the gray eyes blinked, and Schiller, who was sitting at the desk, rubbed his muscular wrists.

At this time, another small figure jumped on the desk, and Spider-Man sat on the edge of the desk and looked at Schiller and said: What is so special about the universe that the portal of the spider totem you asked me to open leads to? ”

"What's so special? Nothing special. Schiller shook his head and smiled, then added, "...... It's just dangerous. ”
