Chapter 422: The Altar

Calm returned to the storeroom. White Night and Pym sat in the lab in the distance, stunned, as if what had just happened was just a dream.

"It's... What's going on? Pym struggled, shaking his head in disbelief. Bai Ye was also silent, his heart full of questions.

"The Cloaked Man seems to possess the power of time and space, and has a deep connection to the elements of Asgard." White Night frowned and thought as he realized that this time traveler might be from a special moment in Asgard.

"His appearance has something to do with the Asgardian artifacts we found in the lab earlier, perhaps some kind of guardian protecting the secrets in the lab." Pym continued to ponder possible explanations.

Just as the two of them were deep in thought, the ants in the lab began to emit faint vibrations, transmitting some kind of information. White Night and Pym noticed the change and took a closer look.

"They seem to have found some important clues, or rather, the cloaked man left something." Pym explained, pointing to the ant window on the screen. White Night took a closer look and found that the ants were searching for something in all corners of the laboratory.

"We've got to get over there and see what we find." White Night made a quick decision. Pym nodded, and the two of them walked briskly out of the lab together.

Inside the lab, the ants scurry through and around the corners, and the clues they find may be the key to this adventure in time and space.

Through the ant camera, White Night and Pym see a dark compartment in the lab, where the ants seem to have found something unusual somewhere. The two quickly arrived and opened the hidden storage room.

The storage room is filled with an air of antiquity and mystery, with various Asgardian artifacts on display. But to their shock, in the center of the room, the ants found an ancient parchment roll.

The ants picked up the scroll and unfolded it to see some strange symbols and words written on it. The two of them gazed at the parchment scroll, as if they could feel the deep secrets it contained.

"That's probably the key, and we need to translate the text and find more clues." Bai Ye said nervously and excitedly. Pym nodded, and together they began to delve into the parchment, trying to unravel the mysteries it contained.

White Night and Pym are deeply involved in translating ancient parchment scrolls, the words on which are mysterious and ancient. They mobilized the equipment in the laboratory and used advanced technology to parse the texts.

The symbols on the parchment scrolls seem to contain a mysterious energy that makes it complicated and difficult to decipher. White Night and Pym patiently study every detail, trying to understand the true meaning of this ancient artifact.

"The symbols have similarities to the Asgardian artifacts we found in the lab before, but are more complex and esoteric." Bai Ye whispered to himself, his eyes revealing a hint of excitement.

Pym observes the parchment roll intently, his brain working like a sophisticated computer, trying to figure out the patterns. This translation adventure is both a challenge and an opportunity for them to find the truth.

As time passed, the two gradually developed a preliminary understanding of the words on the parchment. The text seems to describe an ancient ritual that is intimately connected to time and space. Perhaps, this is part of the ritual performed by the cloaked man in the storeroom.

"It's a space-time teleportation ritual, and the use of this scroll can open the door to Asgard." There was affirmation in Pym's voice, and he tried to relay the contents of the parchment scroll to White Night.

Bai Ye narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought. If this scroll can indeed open the door to Asgard, then it may be the key to solving the whole mystery. And the appearance of the cloaked man may also be inextricably linked to this ancient teleportation ritual.

"We need more clues, and we need to know what the purpose of this teleportation is." The silence was broken by the white night, and with a determined gaze, he decided to dig deeper into the root of this mystery.

The two continued their in-depth study of the parchment rolls, analyzing the meaning of each symbol through the advanced equipment in the laboratory. Sometimes discussing, sometimes meditating, time seems to stand still in the laboratory.

Suddenly, the ants in the laboratory transmitted a faint vibration again. White Night and Pym immediately realize that it might be an ant discovering a new clue. They quickly walked to the screen and watched the ants weave through the lab.

The ants gather in a corner of the lab, and White Night and Pym direct the cameras to focus the footage. They discover a hidden door, and the ants seem to be delivering a message that the place may have more secrets.

"We'll have to take a look." Pym said, ordering the ants to go straight to the hidden door.

This door is not an ordinary door, but is made of a strange metal.

The ants stopped in front of the door, as if waiting for further instructions.

White Night and Pym gaze nervously and excitedly at the metal door through the footage of the ant camera. They couldn't help but speculate that this might be an entrance to deeper secrets.

"This metal looks unusual and could be some kind of high-tech material. We may need more equipment and ants to explore this place. Pym suggested, and White Night nodded in agreement.

They decided to send more ants and specialized equipment to investigate the mysterious metal door. White Night and Pym work closely together in the lab, directing the ants on various missions to gain more information about the metal door.

Ants collect data around metal doors to detect their materials and properties. The instruments in the laboratory convey detailed information, but the metal door retains its mystery.

After some hard work, White Night and Pym realized that the door might have a high level of protection and technological obstacles, and it would not be easy to break through. However, they were not discouraged and decided to continue the path of truth.

"This metal door is indeed not easy to overcome, but we must not stop, we must find the portal to Asgard." White Night encourages Pym, and the two tacitly decide to take a more radical approach to exploration.

White Night began to wonder if there was a way to find the weak point of this door through technical means, or through clues in ancient Asgardian artifacts. At the same time, with the help of advanced equipment in the laboratory, Pym tried to find the possibility of an entrance by analyzing the structure of the door.

The ants shuttled back and forth in the lab, delivering messages to the duo. They are immersed in the study of this metal door, and their curiosity about the unknown and their desire to explore keep them going.

While they were searching for clues, the ants in the lab once again transmitted a faint vibration.

"What did they find?" Bai Ye asked anxiously, his eyes full of anticipation. Pym stared at the screen, the ants converging on the metal door somewhere.

The ants seem to have spotted some sort of anomaly on the side of the door, and they are swimming back and forth around a tiny slit. This gap may be small, but it may be the breakthrough they are looking forward to.
