Chapter Forty-Eight: The Little Black Worm and the Magician and the Dream

In the end, Edward was not driven away by Rhodes and was taken away and resettled.

According to the regulations, Edward was not allowed to enter the base, and was placed in a regular residential area along with the rescue team that arrived a few days earlier than Edward.

Nominally ordinary, in fact it is a special area, in which a special safety zone for the supply of water and electricity is provided.

Although the environment is not comparable with that in the city, it is good in the local area when compared horizontally.

Stark Industries and Wayne Group each came with two rescue teams, and Edward's share of the money he had come to was put in Stark Industries by Harpy.

Edward's food and drink were specially arranged by Rhodes, the same as the special supply, and like the rescue team, the cost was borne by Stark Industries.

After Edward was shown around the house, Rhodes did not let Edward follow the rescue team due to safety concerns.

"Hey, listen, Tony is missing after being attacked by fire, whether he lives or dies, it's not safe nearby, the rescue team that Harpy and Wayne are looking for are professionals, they all carry firepower in their actions, and they have to communicate with me at all times to make sure we can support in time, after all, we may have to fight at any time."

So your search operation will not be with the rescue team, but near the base, understand? ”

It's not just what Rhodes meant, Harpy's side and the FBI (S.H.I.E.L.D.) side are asking for it.

Anyway, we have to hold Edward down and don't let him follow the rescue team.

Edward agreed in his heart, he had rubbed shoulders with the rescue team before, and he had seen it once, and the firepower was definitely going to fight a tough battle, and he was just here to get an assist, so he didn't plan to go along.

But thinking so, on the surface, I still have to highlight my intentions, so I finally agreed politely.

Rhodes and the rescue team are both helicopters + satellites, and it is impossible to give equipment to Edward.

It's a car or a motorcycle, you have to have a means of transportation.

At this time, it was getting late, and Rod asked Edward to rest first tonight and pick up the car tomorrow.

Returning to the quarters he had arranged, Edward put away the few things he had to do, and lay back on his bed to rest.

On the surface, he was recuperating, but his brain was constantly running, and he recalled the note that Gu Yi gave him

"Watch out for the Dark Mage." That's what the note says.

Needless to say, Edward would be careful, but she told again, is it too much, or is there something she misses?

Edward asked the beetle to search for information on the plane, and he found some surveillance records of his dealings with the Dark Mage.

Not counting the dreams, he had no direct contact with the black mage in reality.

But to say indirectly, Edward found it twice, once at the train station.

Edward tuned to the station's surveillance and found a scene.

The dropped bulb was intact one second, and the next it suddenly crumbles, without any screws, ceiling collapse, or anything like that, and the bulb fell for no reason.

At the moment when Edward ran out to save people, a small black bug didn't know when to crawl behind Edward's feet.

Edward was unaware of his presence, and the beetle that had been monitoring Edward's surroundings was unaware of its presence, as it did not have any vital signs that a living organism should have, as if it were just Edward's hallucination.

The moment Edward ran out, the little black bug jumped up, and it tried to jump on Edward, but was smashed down by an invisible object and crushed to death.

The above situation can be explained by the fact that the Ancient One is protecting himself, and this is a magical exchange.

But there are some special cases, this little bug jumps to jump and is killed for 1.4s, and in between, there are energy fluctuations in the dream world.

Edward couldn't figure out why there was a dream signal, he was dreaming at the time?

If it was just an exception, Edward would naturally not care so much, there are many black worms, and the appearance is not unusual.

But Edward found the first time he saw the little black worm.

He had just crossed over, just finished "begging" from the branches of Stark Industries and Wayne Group, and ran away, but he was targeted.

Entering the alley, two black fat men came looking for him, one of them stabbed Edward with a knife, and Edward still remembered that his attention was focused on the small black dot on the knife for no reason.

If it hadn't happened, Edward would have thought it was a little black dot.

But Edward found a footage of the alley from Stark Industries, and it happened to capture the scene.

The black fat man was knocked down by Edward, the knife fell to the ground, and the small black dot on the knife suddenly loosened, turning from a clump into a black worm, arching and running away from the knife.

I didn't meet the black mage this time, but I just ran away from the black mage's magic hut, and it was barely an indirect contact.

Before and after the two meetings with the Black Mage, two small black worms.

Coincidental?

Then within the note, the picture from the ancient one is absolutely impossible to "this is just a coincidence".

This is the first perspective of the ancient one.

In the dream, Edward floats in the darkness, and a small black worm is secretly arching towards the confused Edward.

Then the owner of the perspective reached out and pinched the little black worm to death.

Edward asked the beetle to find the fat black man who had "robbed" Edward, and there was nothing unusual, so he asked the beetle to continue to stare at him.

Three meetings between black magicians and three black worms, all related to the dream world.

Is there a big guy in the dream world? Edward hurriedly drew a diagram.

The black mage has a relationship with the little black worm, and the little black worm has a relationship with the dream world.

Edward was kidnapped, and this is the surface.

S.H.I.E.L.D.'s game with Hydra/Black Mage, it's a shallow game.

The game between the dream world, the little black worm and the ancient one is even deeper.

S.H.I.E.L.D., HYDRA, BLACK MAGICIAN, DREAM WORLD, ANCIENT ONE, AND EDWARD ALL HAVE A ROUGH GUESS, BUT THIS LITTLE BLACK WORM, HE REALLY CAN'T THINK OF THE MEANING OF THE EXISTENCE OF THIS THING.

Little black worm, what is it exactly?

Early the next morning, Edward was taken to buy a car.

The car seller is the partner of the base, an old black man with a cigar in his mouth, and when he sees Edward, his eyes are shining, so young and running over, I don't know where the fat sheep boy came from.

As a result, as soon as the people behind Edward came out, the old man immediately became honest, and when the two sides touched, they knew the purpose, it was their own people, and directly led Edward to the inner courtyard.

Edward compared the cars in the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard, and understood, what a big profiteer, the cars outside were all pits, and driving into the desert must be "three days, three days of repair, and three days of tinkering", and the money for repairing was more than the money for buying.

The car inside is different, it obviously feels like the level has risen a few levels, although some cars are second-hand, but they were modified before the experts, and the performance has been improved.

If you think about it, there are no other families selling cars in this land, this is a monopoly business, and the price must be arbitrary.

But with Rhodes' banner here, this old man will not pit Edward.

Edward hadn't bought a car, but he had a good eyesight - he picked it up the same way that Tid picked Kamen Rider's matching mount.

Edward picked left and right, and took the red Wrangler that looked poor in appearance, but was considered to be the best in the garage.

Running in the desert, no matter how good-looking you are, it's useless, and it's impossible for a sandstorm to say that you're good-looking and won't blow you, and if you meet someone running over and shooting, the bullet can't automatically turn around because you're handsome, right?
