Chapter 367: Fixed-point refresh
"Pietro, don't wander around, you should find a stable job." Wanda quickly divided the food and bowls as she thought about it.
"Okay, sister, when I find that gem, I'll be so rich that I won't have to work for the rest of my life." Petro rubbed his face impatiently in his chair.
"Don't always try to get rich!" Wanda sat down at the table and glared at her brother, "After all these days, who have you seen find that gem?" It's so easy to fall out of the pie in the sky, and it's more practical for you to find a job. ”
"Those jobs are boring, the pay is low, it's just enough to live, and you have to be careful if you want to watch a movie or buy a game." Petro broke the bread, dipped it in the soup, and stuffed it in his mouth, muttering as he ate.
"Who kept you from getting into college? Everyone survived like this, and I didn't see anything bad. At least, my parents left us a house to save the rent. As long as you have a stable job, life is not so difficult. ”
"Okay, okay!" Pietro raised his hands and compromised, "Give me another week, and if I still can't find it, I'll go to work with Mr. Casillas." ”
"Well, then, I'll go back and talk to Mrs. Casillas, and you'll report in a week. Don't let anyone else release pigeons this time! Wanda was not worried about the younger brother who jumped out, and told him again and again.
"Don't worry, it won't!" Pietro finished the bread in two bites, drank the soup dry, got up and hurried out, "I'm done, you don't have to bring my portion for lunch." ”
Wanda looked at the back of her brother who was far away, sighed and shook her head, finished her breakfast slowly, then cleaned up the dishes, washed and put them away, and then went out to work.
The view zooms out to reveal a virtual screen and a group of Avengers in front of it, watching Wanda and Pietro from afar among the warplanes above the city's clouds.
"She doesn't seem to have anything out of the ordinary." Steve folded his hands and frowned.
"According to the detection of instruments and equipment, she does not have any magic fluctuations on her body, she is just an ordinary girl." Professor Hulk called up a series of data on another virtual screen and showed it to everyone, "I have detailed data on Scarlet Witch here, and if Wanda has magic fluctuations, it must not be able to hide it from me." ”
Because of the latest situation, Steve transferred Professor Hulk again, and in the absence of Tony Stark, Professor Hulk is the most trusted technologist.
"I just went to see her, read her memories, and she didn't know anything about the Gem of Reality." Nebula stood in the corner, sending his findings to everyone.
All the data shows that this reality gem has nothing to do with Wanda. But everyone has a very strong premonition that this reality gem must be Wanda's place, but everyone has no idea where the gem is hidden.
If the gem is in the hands of an enemy like Hydra, the Avengers will definitely not hesitate to go up and kill it with a knife and snatch it back. But the Scarlet Witch is everyone's friend in another universe, a companion, and a sacrificial comrade-in-arms, so it's not appropriate to rob it directly.
"Where's Pietro?"
"No problem, I even let the nanobot make him fall a few times. Judging from Friday's observations, there is no trace of camouflage, and it is completely an ordinary person. ”
"Something unusual!" Clint, who had been looking for some information on the side, suddenly interjected, "The Casillas mentioned by Wanda just now feels very familiar to me, so I searched for it, and the result was ......"
Clint pinched the virtual screen in front of him with his hand and shook it, projecting the data inside onto the large screen in the center. In the center of the screen, there is a photo of a white man holding his son and holding his wife's hand, shopping.
Then Clint swiped his hand, and another picture appeared in front of everyone's eyes. This is a satellite picture of the battlefield, and on the right side of the picture is a group of guys wearing black hooded trench coats, who look like cultists. And the person in the lead, although he has thick eye makeup, looks like a panda with kidney deficiency, but if you look closely, the man in the first photo is actually a person.
"Do you remember? This Casillas is the one who killed the Ancient One Mage back then. After all these years, I almost forgot about him. ”
"I remember Strange once saying that this Casillas was seduced by the evil god Dormammu and fell into darkness. So the question is, what did he, a dark magician, do in such a small country with high mountains and far away emperors? ”
"It's not so much that Wanda is in possession of the Reality Gem, but this Casillas must be more suspicious!"
"The two universes are very different, and this Casillas may not still be a dark mage!"
"It's so simple, don't you just call and ask Master Wang?"
Professor Hulk immediately called Master Wang again, and then the red light flashed, and the portal opened in front of everyone again.
"Wow, you're handy with this magic!" Everyone was envious.
The king was not in the mood to talk now, and after passing through the portal, he couldn't wait to ask, "Where is Casillas?" ”
After the king's explanation, everyone knew that although Casillas of this universe did not kill the ancient mage, the evil deeds he did were more serious. He sacrificed the lives of an entire city in Greenwich, England, to Dormammu, in exchange for Dormammu's magical support.
"In other words, this Casillas will be very strong now?"
"Yes, we must be prepared before we do anything to him, otherwise it will be easy to cause harm to the people around us."
While a few people were discussing enthusiastically, a voice interrupted them, "Steve, your female fans are begging you again, how are you going to deal with them?" ”
The two people who were rescued last night provided valuable information to everyone, so the Avengers took them back to the hotel, and then saw the two survivors of many superheroes, and misunderstood them, thinking that they were here to save the countries of Europe, crying and laughing, and venting in front of them.
When they learn that these superheroes are just passing by, there is a mission here, and they are gone when they are done, the two are very disappointed, and then they start praying that the Avengers can save their friends and relatives who are suffering from the rule of dark creatures.
Although they were deeply sympathetic to the poor situation of the European countries, the Avengers were too busy looking for the Reality Gem to help them for a while, so they left them in the hotel below and let Rhodes stay with them here.
For these two ordinary people, Steve was also very helpless, he couldn't drive them away, "Let's calm them down first, and then we'll talk about it after we finish dealing with Casillas and get the Reality Gem." ”
"Another thing, yesterday their car lost control and crashed into the house next to the road, and a child was accidentally hit and killed, but the police have not come to interrogate them until now. I think it's the pressure from the town hall, and I think we should say something about it. Rod reminded.
Steve was stunned, patted on the door of his head, and blamed himself:
"Oops, I actually forgot!"
"You're right, Rod. Although we cannot bring the dead back to life, we must pay enough financial compensation. Also, explain to them that the loss of control of the car was an accident and that the driver feels very guilty about it. ”
"Of course, on the side of the family of the deceased, I will take the two of them to apologize in person, and the financial compensation will be very generous." Rhodes paused slightly, considered his words, and said slowly, "Well, what I actually want to say is...... You should give Mayor Hanas a call to say thank you. ”
Hearing Rod's reminder on the phone, Steve's face stiffened, and he responded in a low voice: "I know, when this side is over, I will call in person to express my gratitude." ”
Now that Steve understood, Rod didn't say anything more and just ended the call.
After careful discussion, Casillas's location was confirmed through satellite positioning, and then the Mage King teleported everyone to a predetermined battlefield on the outskirts.
"It's empty enough that when the fight really starts, you won't accidentally hurt anyone. You only need to hold him for a few seconds, and I can unfold the mirror world, and after entering the mirror world, everyone can let go of their hands and feet. ”
"I'll open the door to the sky in a moment, hoping to delay Casillas a little longer. As soon as he appeared, everyone gathered fire and attacked. He can't fly, and when he suddenly appears in the sky, he will definitely use his flying magic first. Aerial combat is where we have the upper hand, trying to damage him before he uses his defensive magic, which can be crucial for a moment's worth of combat. ”
Everyone put on their steel suits, scattered in the air, and stood ready for battle, and then nodded to the mage king on the side.
The mage king first blessed himself with flying magic, flew into the sky, and then looked at the satellite surveillance in Clint next to him, while accurately positioning, and drew an oval portal with both hands, through this door, he saw the back of Casillas walking alone in front of him.
He pushed his hands forward, and the portal moved forward quickly, swallowing Casillas with a thud. At the same time, he quickly retreated, his hands flashed, and he began to build a mirror world.
Everyone had already prepared, and as soon as Casillas appeared, they immediately opened fire, and all kinds of ammunition poured over in an instant. In order to prevent being dodged, it is mostly used with homing missiles, as well as laser beam attacks.
Casillas is also a great mage who once killed the Supreme Mage Ancient One, and once sacrificed the flesh and blood soul of a city to the evil god Dormammu, and it is impossible to judge how strong he is now. Therefore, everyone designed more than a dozen sets of backup plans to deal with counterattacks in different situations.
However, to everyone's surprise, this Casillas seemed to be an ordinary person, and after stumbling in the air, he panicked, danced and screamed. Not to mention the use of magic, even if he didn't make the slightest action to resist and resist, he was smashed on the spot by everyone's firepower, turned into a mess of meat, fell to the ground, and splattered a disgusting picture of flesh and blood.
Everyone couldn't recover from this situation for a while, Mu was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the mage king who was stuck there in the middle of the mirror world, and asked hesitantly: "Is this stall on the ground where he is now a magic circle that sacrifices itself in exchange for great power?" Or something that communicates with demons? ”
Mage Wang Muran shook his head, "No, this is not any known magical knowledge at all, this is just a mess of meat. I think we might have killed the wrong person......"
Everyone gasped and looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
At this time, Rod's phone called again, and as soon as it was connected, he shouted urgently:
"Steve, there's something wrong with this city!"
"The dead child is alive again!"
"Not only that, but even the houses that were hit by the car have been restored to their original state!"
"The weirdest thing is that all the people don't remember that there was such a vicious incident last night!"
After hanging up the phone, Steve looked around, "We had a problem with our judgment!" Obviously, Casillas is not the one who owns the Reality Gem, so let's go and see the resurrected child first, and then study where exactly the Reality Gem is and how this result occurred. ”
"And what about this Casillas?"
Steve took a deep breath, "Professor Hulk, please stay here, I'll ask Natasha to send you some monitoring equipment, we need to find out if this Casillas will be resurrected as well." If he is resurrected, we have to know how he was resurrected, how the whole process was, whether there are any energy fluctuations of the real gem, and many other questions. ”
Professor Hulk reached out and made an OK gesture before landing on the ground and began to take cell samples of Casillas' corpse in preparation for studying his corpse while the crowd flew straight to the scene of last night's accident.
After arriving at the scene, Rhodes and the two parties were already waiting on the other side of the street across the street from the house, and it was obvious that this strange thing made Nina and Nina very uneasy.
After comforting the two of them for a few words, the Avengers began to carefully inspect the house opposite.
With the current strength of the Avengers, as well as the super technology of the Iron Suit, no clue can hide from their eyes. The final inspection result was that the walls of the house were in perfect harmony, with no signs of damage or repair, and it was a good house in perfect condition.
They knocked on the door again and politely chatted with the family in the room, who knew nothing about the disaster they had encountered last night, and instead thought that the Avengers had a problem with their brains. And the resurrected child, alive and vibrant, full of wit, without the dull and slow appearance of a living corpse. Natasha also confirmed that the child was able to eat human food and was not transformed into a dark creature like a vampire.
Everyone said goodbye and left, and after going out, the Avengers were well-informed and didn't have much mood swings, but Nina and the two were nervous. They've just escaped from the vampire domination of dark creatures, and they don't want to fall under the control of another unknown dark creature again.
Nina nervously grabbed Steve's arm and asked repeatedly:
"Is this also ruled by some dark creature?"
"This kind of ability to make everything look like a game world, modify it at will, and refresh it at a fixed point, is it the ability of that dark creature?"
