- Chapter 993 - Two ways to solve the problem, Asgardians on vacation in prison
Hearing what Jane, Hela and Aaron said, Fitz felt mixed emotions, such as relief, heartache, helplessness, etc., which made his heart beat faster.
“Tell me how to find her. I want to save her.”
“Brother, I am a fortune teller, not a wishing machine.” Aaron complained, “Simmons, keep insisting, you keep researching, and you will find a way sooner or later.
If it doesn’t work, find a spaceship and search slowly in the universe. This painting is my clue to you.”
“How can you comfort people like this?” Wanda rolled her eyes at him, wanting to say something comforting, but she didn’t know what to say after opening her mouth.
“Then tell me the origin of the stone.” Fitz grasped something sharply, “It was dug out nearly a hundred years ago, on the earth, and Hydra is also looking for it.”
“I don’t care about these.” Aaron said as a matter of course, “One hundred thousand US dollars is only enough for you to get this oil painting.”
“What about another hundred thousand?” Coulson and Skye walked in and said.
“In this case, we can get some clues.” Aaron looked at Skye meaningfully, “But this clue may not be very friendly to you.”
“What does it have to do with me?” Skye asked in confusion.
“It has a lot to do with me, if you are sure you want me to say…”
“Sure, there is nothing to hesitate about.” Skye said immediately, “We all want to save Simmons.”
“Okay!” Aaron spread his hands and said, “The monolith was left by the Kree to destroy the Inhumans.”
Skye:……
“It’s really unfriendly!”
“How did you know?” Coulson asked.
“That’s all I can tell you.
I’ve told you the clues, maybe you can ask Skye’s mother, she may know how to use the monolith to open the passage to the other world.”
Fitz hurriedly looked at Skye, pleading, “Skye, you…”
“Let me try!” Skye dialed Jiaying’s phone number with mixed feelings under Fitz’s hopeful gaze.
Soon, a gentle voice came from the phone, “Daisy, my dear daughter, you rarely contact me.”
“Mom, I want to ask about that… black boulder that can liquefy…”
“Who told you?” Jiaying’s voice immediately became serious, “Don’t touch that stone, the farther away from it the better.”
“But one of my good friends, Simmons, was swallowed by that stone.” Skye explained.
“I won’t tell you anything, daughter.
The boulder is very dangerous and will bring disaster to the Inhumans. The safety of your friends and the Inhumans is a good choice for me.
S.H.I.E.L.D. probably wants to master the method of dealing with the Inhumans, so they asked you to ask me, then they really made a wrong calculation.”
“This has nothing to do with S.H.I.E.L.D., Aaron told me.”
Fuck!
Selling out teammates so straightforwardly?
Aaron held his forehead and shook his head, feeling that billions of grass mud horses were galloping through his heart.
“Gaius told you?” Jiaying’s voice paused for a few seconds before she continued: “Your friend may be dead.”
“She is still alive, Aaron’s divination shows so.
He also divined the environment of the other world connected to the monolith.”
“Is that so?” Jiaying murmured in a low voice, “I roughly understand, I can only tell you that Gaius has the ability to bring your friend back.”
“Fuck!”
Aaron couldn’t hold it anymore, the boomerang hit him, Jiaying was trying to trick him into solving the potential crisis of the Inhumans.
He snatched Skye’s phone and said bluntly: “Skye’s mother, right?”
“Who are you? Don’t you know any manners?”
“Haha! Who am I?
I am Aaron Gaius, the man you said had the ability to bring Simmons back from the other world.
Why did you frame me? Be careful or I will sue you…”
The call was hung up by the other party, and Aaron cursed with a sullen face: “Slander, this is naked slander, she slandered me!”
“Don’t get excited, calm down first.” Coulson said.
“Calm down, how the hell can I calm down?
I’ve been so low-key, why are there still people who want to harm me?”
“But my mother shouldn’t lie to me about this.”
“Skye, you can’t tell a person’s heart from his appearance.
Your mother is the leader of the Inhumans, not a simple girl. She may show her human side when facing you, but do you know what she is like in normal times?”
“You are making trouble for no reason and making up grounds.”
“I only know that a naive person can’t lead the Inhumans for such a long time, not to mention that the situation of the Inhumans in this world is actually better than that of the mutants.”
“Okay, stop arguing.” Fitz interrupted impatiently, and then looked at Aaron seriously, “Do you really have a way to save Simmons?”
“No…” Aaron was about to say ‘no’ when the system prompt sound suddenly rang in his mind.
“Host has a new system task, please check the task panel in time.”
[Bring Jemma Simmons back to Earth safely;
Reward 600 magic points for completing the task; no penalty for failing the task; Do you accept it? ]
“It’s not that there is no way.” Aaron changed his words smoothly and chose to accept the task.
Six hundred magic points is not a lot, but he is very poor now and urgently needs to recover.
Anyway, it’s just going to a dead star to pick up someone. If you use magic, it can be done in minutes. Of course, it will be more troublesome if you don’t use magic.
As for the danger…Jemma Simmons, an ordinary human, has lived there for half a month. What danger can there be?
“What can I do?”
Aaron took a long breath and walked to the shelf to take down Captain Jack’s compass.
“Ahem! Let me introduce you solemnly, Gaius Compass, it will point to the thing you want most in this world.
I don’t know much about the boulder, but there must be someone who knows it.”
“You mean use the compass to find someone who knows how to open the portal?” Skye asked with wide eyes.
“Bingo!” Aaron snapped his fingers. “There are two ways to solve a problem. One is to solve the person who raised the problem, and the other is to find someone who can solve the problem.
We can’t kill Jemma Simmons, so we can only choose the second one.”
Fitz swallowed his saliva, quickly took the compass, and kept chanting: “The one who knows how to open the boulder, the one who knows how to open the boulder, the one who knows how to open the boulder…”
window._taboola = window._taboola || ; _taboola.push({ mode: ‘thumbs-feed-01’, container: ‘taboola-below-article-thumbnail—300×250’, placement: ‘Below article thumbnail – 300×250’, target_type: ‘mix’ });
After chanting several times in a row, the compass needle kept turning, but it just couldn’t stop.
“Is it broken? Or am I not sincere enough?”
“It’s not broken, nor is it that you are not sincere enough, but… there are too many people who know how to open the portal through the monolith.
They are distributed in different directions, there are Inhumans, Hydra, and maybe some old antiques also know it. After all, it was left by the Kree, and it has a history of at least thousands of years.”
“Let me show you the correct way to use it.” Aaron took back the compass and whispered: “In addition to the Inhumans, there are people who know how to open the monolith.”
The needle on the compass turned again, but the rotation amplitude was much smaller.
“Did you see it? You have to learn to use the elimination method.” Aaron coughed lightly and continued: “Next, let me show you the real technology.”
“People who are friendly to us and know how to open the monolith.”
After the voice fell, the needle started to turn irregularly again, and the direction could not be determined at all.
“What’s going on?” Wanda asked curiously.
“There is no such person.” Aaron sighed faintly, “Things are a little more complicated than I thought.”
“It’s enough if there is someone who knows how to open the portal.” Coulson said in a deep voice, “In addition to the Inhumans, there is also Hydra. I think Fury will definitely not mind us destroying a Hydra base.”
“Nick Fury’s attitude is not important, what is important is my attitude.” Aaron said with interest, “I don’t want my peaceful life to be broken.”
“But among those who know how to open the portal, no one is friendly to us.” Fitz said anxiously, “You don’t have to show up, just lend us the compass, and SHIELD will take care of offending people.”
“It’s easy to say, just now I was sold out by a SHIELD agent!” Aaron said and glanced at Skye, the meaning is self-evident.
“Can’t you really help them?” Wanda asked hesitantly.
“I’m already helping them, but I can’t get too involved, otherwise it’s easy to get myself into trouble.
In fact, I don’t take Hydra seriously, but I really don’t want to experience the feeling of flies flying around my ears.”
“Okay! There is another way to save the country in a roundabout way.”
“What method?” Fitz asked immediately.
Aaron took a deep breath, holding the compass and reading: “Someone who is friendly to us and knows clues about the monolith.”
The compass needle swayed left and right, and after two seconds, it accurately pointed to a direction.
“This, this works?” Skye murmured in disbelief.
“There’s nothing strange about this. Remember what I said before?
That huge stone has a history of at least thousands of years. Many people have come into contact with it over a long period of time. Maybe there are records about it, but you just don’t know.”
“Notify May to drive the Airbus over.” Coulson looked at Skye and said, “Aaron, we may need you to go with us.”
“No problem, but that’s another price.”
“Add another hundred thousand. If it’s more, it will be included in our team’s next year’s funding.”
Aaron gave him a disdainful look, “It used to be at least seven figures, but now six figures are so stingy?”
“I also want to be more generous, but my financial resources really don’t allow it.”
“Tsk!”
“Um…can I go with you?” Wanda raised her hand and asked.
“Of course.” Coulson smiled and nodded. Wanda is a superpower. Nick Fury put her on the list of the second generation of Avengers early on, although there is no chance to recruit her yet.
But it is certain that with her help, they will be much easier.
“Of course not.” Aaron glared at her, and Wanda looked away guiltily, “I just wanted to help.”
“You don’t need my help, I’ll be there.
You stay here honestly, don’t get involved in those messy things, don’t forget what you promised me.”
“Got it.”
……
More than half an hour later, the invisible mode plane hovered over the fortune-telling house.
Skye grabbed Fitz, launched a shock wave at the ground, and jumped onto the plane with the help of the reverse thrust.
Aaron took Abe and got on Coulson’s favorite car Lola, and slowly climbed up the gangway.
“How stingy.” Wanda watched the Airbus fly away and couldn’t help complaining, “I’m just going to find someone, I don’t need superpowers, is it necessary to be so serious?”
“It’s not up to you to use it or not.” Hela smiled lightly, “Who knows if there will be any accidents!”
“The master said that there are only zero times and countless times of this kind of thing.” Jane added, “He will definitely not let you have the first chance unless the situation is very special.
But other than this, he is very tolerant of you.”
Wanda nodded unnaturally, and then she suddenly thought of the compass, her eyes flashed, “Is the compass always on the shelf?”
“Every time the master finishes his work, he will put the compass on the shelf.
If you want to borrow it, you can do it at any time, but it’s better to tell the master.”
……
Norway.
Aaron followed the pointer and took Coulson, Fitz, and Skye to a prison.
Colson skillfully showed his ID and went through a set of speech procedures. The prison guards let them go and gave them time to meet the prisoners.
“Professor Randolph, long time no see.” Aaron looked at the middle-aged man reading in the clean cell, and suddenly he understood.
The stone has existed on the earth for a long time, and Randolph, an Asgardian, has also been on the earth for centuries. He is the most likely person to come into contact with it and is friendly to SHIELD.
“You can find me here?” Randolph put down the book and sighed a little tired.
“Why are you in the cell?” Skye asked.
“As you can see, I’m on vacation.” Randolph looked around and said very easily.
This single room is obviously different from other cells. It has tables, chairs, benches, books, beds, and toilets. It can be said to be a small office.
And he didn’t wear an orange prison uniform, but a casual outfit. The most outrageous thing is that there is a plate of sandwiches and a cup of hot coffee on the table.
“Destroyed property, drunk in public, and was put in a cell.”
“Yes, Asgardians usually drink a lot.
It’s just that one night, I wanted to drink all the wine.”
“Professor Randolph, we need your help, so…” Coulson smiled kindly, “You have a chance to be released early.”
“I don’t want it, it’s not bad to stay here.
Norwegian prisons are very high-end now, with decent food, comfortable beds, rich collections of books, and I won’t attract attention.”
“Only you can help us now.” Fitz said, grabbing the bars of the cell door, “My girlfriend…friend was swallowed by a black boulder and may have been teleported to another world.”
