Chapter 1004

A blue-purple energy field suddenly opened in a room, and Gordon took Aaron and Jane to the afterlife, the settlement of the Inhumans.

This is an antique town built among the mountains. You can occasionally see young men and women walking leisurely on the modern streets. Looking out through the window, you can see the connected mountains and the snow-covered bottom below. of dense woods.

"The greenery is good and the environment is good. It's a good place for vacation and retirement." Aaron commented with some emotion. This place reminded him of the royal city of the elves, although it was dozens of times worse.

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Gaius." The middle-aged woman sitting at the desk with several obvious scars on her face smiled. Next to her stood Rena, who was wearing a hood.

"I am Jiaying, the leader of the Inhumans.

Also Daisy...perhaps you'd rather call her Skye, and I'm her mother. "

"I've admired you for a long time." Aaron sat opposite Jiaying and looked meaningfully at the oriental woman in front of him, "It's hard to imagine that Skye has a mother like you.

If your ability is to absorb the life span of others to gain immortality, you should have killed a lot of people after living for so long! "

"It's quite a lot." Jiaying did not deny it. "The elders are willing to sacrifice their lives to allow me to gain immortality so that I can guide the Inhumans correctly."

"It's...a necessary sacrifice. It will make you feel less guilty."

“It wasn’t, and I was in so much pain every time.

They all watched me grow up, or I watched them grow up. Jiaying said calmly, "So I must be a qualified leader to protect the afterlife and the alien race. This is a responsibility that I cannot shirk." "

"Even giving up your husband and daughter?" Aaron joked, "Skye is doing pretty well, a SHIELD agent, a serious employee.

Her captain is still Phil Coulson. Although he can be annoying sometimes, I have to admit that he is a good person, a responsible and emotional person.

But what about your husband? I'm more curious about how you dealt with him? "

"It wasn't Jiaying who handled it." Lena interjected hesitantly, "It was Skye and Coulson who handled it.

SHIELD erased Carl's memory, allowing him to forget all his troubles, become an ordinary doctor, and start a new life. "

"It sounds pretty good, so let's get down to business!" Aaron looked directly into Jiaying's eyes and said meaningfully, "You should be able to guess why I came to find you!"

"It has something to do with that boulder."

"As you wished, I entered another world and met a guy who made both you and the Kree afraid.

I can tell you responsibly that he is still alive.

Although quite weak, with enough supplies he can return to his prime in the shortest possible time.

This is the information you want to know. Fortunately, I went in. For ordinary people, let alone bring out information, they are lucky not to become his food. "

Jiaying's pupils narrowed slightly, and a look of shock flashed across her eyes.

But she quickly calmed down her emotions and said with a relaxed smile: "That stone has been destroyed, hasn't it?"

"Skye told you?"

"She is my daughter after all. There is one less threat from the Inhumans. She will naturally tell my mother such good news."

"Beautiful." Aaron clapped his hands, with a touch of sarcasm on his lips, "But then I am the only one who can open the portal."

After the words fell, Jiaying's heart skipped a beat, and the smile on her face instantly solidified, "What do you mean?"

"Literally of course.

You asked the two of them to come to me for cooperation before, but I refused.

But then he helped you achieve your goal in a daze, exploring a different world, determining whether the person was still alive, and destroying the boulder so that he could never come back.

I don’t know if you contributed to it, but since I did it, I have to receive some reward. "

Jiaying forced a smile and said, "Gaius, this seems a bit unreasonable!"

"Who told you that when you were on the phone with Skye, I happened to be standing next to you!

Do you think I'm the kind of person who likes to suffer? "As Aaron said, he drew a circle in mid-air with one hand, and an orange-red portal appeared in front of several people.

Opposite the portal is an endless desert, and there are two planets, one large and one small, hanging in the sky.

Snap!

Aaron snapped his fingers, and the portal disappeared.

"You know I don't use magic easily.

But seeing is believing. No matter how much I say, nothing is as convincing as this portal. "

Jiaying swallowed hard, not feeling any luck anymore. "What do you want in return?"

"It's refreshing." Aaron looked at Jiaying with a hint of appreciation, and then raised two fingers, "I won't embarrass you, I only have two requests."

"First, tell me who the person in the other world is."

"His name is Hive. He is a human warrior captured by the Kree during the Mayan civilization. He is also the first alien to successfully test."

"Ancestor-level figure!" Aaron sneered.

"Since he is the first alien, why does he pose a threat to aliens?" Lena asked in confusion.

"Think about the ancestors of mutants." Jiaying sighed helplessly, "Apocalypse is a lesson learned from the past, but Hive is more bloody than Apocalypse.

His ability is...to control aliens, from body to mind. "

"Hiss!" Lena took a breath of cold air, "I seem to understand why you are so afraid of him.

The Hive may not be the most powerful Inhuman, but it must be the most dangerous Inhuman."

"It really fits the characteristics of a parasite perfectly!" Aaron thought of the worm parasitizing the skeleton, and was inexplicably moved for a moment.

"Second, I need information about the afterlife, which is similar to the Inhuman settlement.

You have lived for so long, you must know this information."

"Why are you interested in this?" Jiaying was a little surprised, "Shouldn't you..."

"Should you what? Keep a low profile like you and try not to care about anything?" Aaron sneered and shook his head, "Don't put me and your Inhumans in the same position.

You keep a low profile to survive, and I keep a low profile to live.

Survival and life are two concepts, but I have never worried about the problem of survival from beginning to end."

Jiaying nodded thoughtfully, and then flipped a document from the bookshelf behind him, "There is a lot of information you want, but the Inhumans can This is the only one that is confirmed.

I can give it to you, but it cannot be related to the Inhumans. "

Aaron rolled his eyes and said speechlessly: "I am not going to destroy them, I just want to collect some materials to improve my alchemy.

If the Inhumans have what I want, I am too lazy to do it.

But most of the people in this town are Inhumans without awakening abilities, and they live ordinary lives. Obviously, they don't have what I want.

If you don't believe it, we can sign a contract. "

"No, I believe in Gaius's credibility." Jiaying put the file on the table, "I hope it helps you."

Aaron opened the file silently, and after simply reading a few lines, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

Tarot Village is full of rare and exotic animals.

Isn't this completely another forbidden forest? There are definitely materials he needs in it, and there will be no shortage.

"This is really helpful to me." Aaron threw the file to Jane, "Take a look! We will go to this place later."

"Friendly reminder, Mr. Gaius.

That forest is alive, and Taro Village does not welcome outsiders."

"Really?"

"Of course, this will definitely not stop you, but you should also keep a low profile, right?"

Aaron did not comment, then turned his head to look at Gordon, "Is it convenient to take us there? You must know the way."

Gordon hesitated and said, "I can't get in, there is a special power guarding there."

"It's enough to take it to the entrance, you don't have to worry about the rest."

Gordon looked at Jiaying, and his eyeless face seemed to reveal some questioning.

"Take Mr. Gaius there!"

"Yes." Gordon nodded slightly, walked to Aaron and Jane with some trepidation, and opened the blue-purple energy field.

After the few people left, Jiaying breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's better not to go after him in the future." Reina said to Jiaying solemnly, "You know I can see the future, but his future is very vague, and I can only analyze some clues through the future of others."

"I know, I don't want to trouble Gaius unless it's necessary.

If he becomes the enemy of the Inhumans, everything will be over."

"Then you still..." Reina's voice suddenly stopped, and her eyes widened in disbelief.

Jiaying was holding a transparent glass jar in his hand, and inside the jar was a black square stone.

"This, this... Don't tell me this was cut from that stone?"

"Are you surprised?" Jiaying put the glass tube on the table and explained as a matter of course: "The people who have studied the stone the most are not the Kree, nor the Hydra, nor S.H.I.E.L.D., but the Inhumans who are most afraid of it.

The elders have long known how to open the portal, but that world is an absolute forbidden place for the Inhumans, and once you go there, you will never return.

As for Hive... He is the first Inhuman, but bringing him back to Earth will be a huge disaster for the Inhumans, unless..."

"Unless the Inhumans encounter a catastrophe." Lena seemed to understand something and said first.

"Yes." Jiaying nodded seriously, "It's funny, right! The Inhumans who are most feared by the Inhumans may one day become the life-saving straw for the Inhumans."

Lena was silent for a while, her voice trembling slightly, "Maybe that day will not be too far away."

This world is changing too fast, not only with the explosion of technology, but also the explosion of extraordinary abilities.

The Inhumans do not have powerful technology, nor do they have extraordinary abilities to control the situation. When disaster strikes, they are like a small boat, which may capsize if they are not careful.

"So we need Gaius's help?"

"What?" Lena opened her mouth in surprise, "Jiaying, you should know who he is. It is better for the Inhumans to try not to have anything to do with him.

And I think he thinks so too. Isn't it good for both sides to keep out of each other's way?"

"Of course I know, but the Inhumans need his contract, a contract that can restrict the Hive." Jiaying said seriously, "Now the portal that can open the other world is in the hands of the Inhumans, and the Hive is in an extremely weak state...

This is the most reliable way I can think of to preserve the Inhumans when disaster strikes. "

Reina was speechless. Although Jiaying's idea was a little crazy, it seemed...there was nothing wrong with it.

"Maybe it's not that bad."

"Rena, I have lived for a long time, and my thoughts were as naive as yours before.

But after I was dissected by Hydra, I realized how wrong I was, and the truth is...it's always worse than you think. "

...

On the other side, Gordon brought Aaron and Jane to a giant bamboo forest.

"This is it, I don't know the rest of the way."

"I know, you can go."

Gordon bowed slightly and teleported away.

Aaron looked at the entrance to the bamboo forest and said with a smile: "I remember that Sequence 8 of the Moon Path is an animal tamer, right?

There happen to be many rare and exotic animals in this secret realm, you can choose the one you like. "

"I don't need it," Jane said calmly, "I have already digested the beast tamer's potion, and it would be a waste of time for me to keep a pet. When I was still in the Volturi family, pets usually had food reserves. ”

Aaron's mouth twitched, "It's up to you!"

"If you don't mind going inside and helping me look for it!"

Jane smiled slightly and sped up towards the entrance of the bamboo forest.

The vampire's speed made her almost turn into an afterimage as she quickly shuttled through the bamboo forest.

But after a while, she suddenly stopped with her heart skipping a beat.

Susu...

The bamboo suddenly moved, blocking her path.

Then the bamboos at the rear quickly merged, blocking the retreat.

Jane tilted her head, jumped up high before the bamboos on both sides clamped her down, and jumped to the top of a bamboo without any effort, standing firmly on it.

The bamboo forest seemed to have lost its target and stopped moving.

Jane didn't pay attention to the bamboo forest, but looked down intently.

However, as far as the eye can see, there are only bamboos, and there is no so-called village at all.

Unwilling to be reconciled, Jane started searching again, but this time she was more patient. She kept beating above the bamboo, and her red eyes carefully scanned every inch of the land.

Green bamboo leaves, ants on the ground, and even spider webs all came into view, but what caught her eye the most was a waterfall deep in the bamboo forest.

It is the most secluded place in the bamboo forest, and it is also the only source of water.

Her spiritual intuition told her that that was the real entrance to the secret realm of Tarot.

Jane smiled slightly, and thick black mist filled the air behind her, forming a pair of illusory bat wings, returning from the air to the entrance of the bamboo forest.

"Found it, Master.

If my judgment is correct, Taluo Village should be behind Yilian Waterfall. "

"Good performance, let's go!" Aaron snapped his fingers, took out the magic carpet from the space ring, and flew Jane towards the waterfall.
