Chapter 1002: Destroy the boulder and raise the phoenix as a canary

puff!

The burning bullet hit the black-robed man in the chest, and the broken shrapnel spread instantly.

The black-robed man's body was engulfed in flames. His bones and skin were burned by the high temperature and could no longer support the movement of running. He collapsed to the ground after a few steps.

"Incendiary bomb?" Will's eyes widened. "This is much better than a grenade."

"I've already said it, this is the Alchemist's highlight moment." Aaron said nonchalantly, then looked at the burning corpse, "This is the last warning, Bug.

We may have a chance to meet again in the future, and you'd better be careful with your attitude then, because I may not be in such a good temper again."

"He...isn't dead yet?" Simmons asked uneasily.

"Of course not. He is indeed very weak, but he is not likely to survive. Besides, I have no intention of taking his life."

"Why don't you kill him?" Will asked doubtfully, "Monsters like that shouldn't be alive. Keeping them alive is always a hidden danger."

“You don’t need to teach me how to do things.

I had no intention of coming to this damn place in the first place, but Coulson was shameless and dragged me here.

Besides, my purpose of coming here is just to bring Simmons back. Saving you is just a side job. Killing him is not within my mission."

Aaron's self-righteousness made Will a little confused. "Are the bottom lines of SHIELD agents so flexible?"

"He's not an agent of SHIELD."

"I'm not an agent of SHIELD."

Coulson and Aaron said it almost at the same time, the difference was that Coulson was worried about damaging the reputation of SHIELD, while Aaron didn't want to have anything to do with SHIELD at all.

Ten seconds later, the magic carpet flew behind a huge rock and carried Aaron and others into the portal that had just been opened.

After they disappeared, a nearly thirty-centimeter-long worm crawled out of the burning black-robed man's mouth.

The bug looked into the distance unwillingly, then burrowed into the ground. After a while, a human skeleton crawled out of the sand...

......

Hua Hua Hua...

The surface of the black liquid suddenly began to boil, and an inky blue blanket flew out from under the liquid, throwing Coulson, Simmons, and Will all to the ground.

Aaron landed smoothly, and Abe somersaulted several times in the air and landed steadily at his feet.

"Shockwave, stop it now, they are back." Mike said with relief.

Skye immediately stopped releasing special frequency fluctuations to the boulder, but his body still staggered a little, but a smile appeared on his pale face.

Fitz immediately ran to Simmons, hugged her tightly, and cried with joy: "It's okay, you're back."

"Fitz." Simmons smiled, and just as he was about to speak, he felt dizzy. "It's okay. The gravity of that planet is different from that of the earth. I just need to relax."

"Who is he?" Mei pointed at Will who had fainted and asked in confusion, "Is there anyone else on the other side of the portal?"

"His name is Will, and if he's not lying, he was a volunteer for NASA more than a decade ago." Coulson said, "It's a bit difficult to explain, but at the moment he's not an enemy.

Mike, take him on the plane first and let him stay in Sky's old room.

Keep watch until his identity is known."

"Copy that, sir."

"Coulson, I'm sorry to bother you at this time." Randolph interrupted at an inopportune moment, "But have you forgotten something important?"

"Yes." Aaron reminded as he folded the magic carpet, "For example, destroy this stone."

"I'm going to destroy it before we leave."

"Should you tell Fury?" Mei said meaningfully, "He won't let you destroy something that can make the Inhumans feel afraid."

"If he knew what was on the other side of the portal, he would agree." Coulson said with lingering fear, "This stone is not only a threat to the Inhumans, but also poses a great threat to humans and even the earth."

"What did you encounter in there?" Randolph asked curiously.

"An immortal monster." Aaron said succinctly, "He should have lived longer than the Asgardians, and the civilization on the other side of the portal and even the planet itself were destroyed because of him."

"Hiss!" Randolph took a breath, and after a few seconds he looked at Coulson seriously, "Now you know why I warned you to destroy this stone!

I thought there would be a brutal regime at best on the other side of the portal, but I didn’t expect it would be complete destruction.”

"Yeah! That was a pretty scary, man-eating monster." Coulson looked at the boulder that had returned to its original state in the pit, "But he has no chance of coming back."

"I hope so!" Randolph nodded slowly, "Can we go now?"

"of course can."

Two minutes later, the others left the room one after another.

Coulson took out the grenade, pulled the ring, and threw it into the pit.

boom!

With a loud bang, the boulder was blown into pieces, and a lot of black debris appeared in the pit.

Coulson breathed a sigh of relief. He looked around the various devices in the room, then took out his cell phone and called Nick Fury.

"Hey! Sir, there is something I need to report to you."

"Is that the stone?"

"Yes."

Afterwards, Coulson spent a few minutes telling Nick Fury about his experience in the other world. "Here's the thing. I have destroyed the stone, but it may not be complete enough."

"Gloucestershire, England!

Agent Hill will go there to receive the equipment and the shattered boulders." Nick Fury said casually, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Coulson felt inexplicably guilty, "Sir, what do you mean?"

"Gaius? Didn't he go with you?"

“Well… he seems to know the true identity of the monster, but he has no intention of telling me.

Sir, you know him well. There is nothing I can do if he doesn't want to talk.

What I find odd is that he seemed to want to keep the monster."

"That's the key, Agent Coulson." Nick Fury said lightly, "Why did he leave that monster behind? If you're going to destroy the portal after you get out, does it really matter whether the monster lives or dies?"

Coulson was stunned for a moment, and suddenly an idea flashed through his mind, "You mean he has another way to enter the other world."

"It's not impossible."

Coulson frowned slightly, "With all due respect, sir.

Gaius is not someone who doesn’t know the seriousness of the matter. Even if he has a way to enter and exit the other world, he will not release that monster.”

“I share the same opinion with you on this point.

The key question is, what is his purpose in leaving that monster behind?

Jiaying did make him unhappy, and he was not the kind of person who would repay evil with kindness, but what about the Inhumans...what interested him?"

Coulson suddenly realized, but then a helpless look appeared on his face, "Sir, I can't check this."

"Skye, isn't that female alien who plays Shockwave your teammate?"

"This...I'll do my best!"

......

Fortune telling house.

Aaron placed Abe next to the fireplace and silently opened the task panel.

【Bring Jemma Simmons back to Earth safely;

Completing the mission rewards 600 magic points; there is no penalty for mission failure; Completed]

"receive."

"Congratulations to the host for completing the system task and obtaining 600 magic points."

Aaron nodded slightly. With these six hundred magic points, his 'deposit' successfully broke through four digits.

Although the number is not large, it does not hinder his sense of accomplishment.

He then made a simple compilation of the demon stories he had collected from Randolph, preparing to draw on them carefully in order to create a relatively good demon.

“It seems like we’ve gained quite a lot this time!” Hela joked.

"It's okay!" Aaron put down the information in his hand. "The real gain is from the Inhumans. I hope they won't let me down."

"Sure enough, I knew it would be like this."

"I don't understand what you are talking about." Wanda looked at the two of them with resentment in her eyes, "Sometimes I really feel out of place in this family."

"This is for your own good," Aaron said seriously.

"Yes, yes, I know it's for my own good, but it's really frustrating not to know anything!" Wanda sighed helplessly, trying to calm down her irritable mood, "Aaron, I really, really, really appreciate you.

You saved Pietro, you saved me, you redeemed us, you gave us a peaceful life."

"It's time to say but, right?"

Wanda's expression froze, and she looked away guiltily, "But can you understand my feelings?"

Aaron rubbed his brows and asked in confusion, "What do you want to say?"

“You have many identities to hide your secrets.

Hela also has secrets, and her identity is very mysterious.

Jane is a vampire, Abe is a dragon..." Wanda paused and said, "I am also a person with super powers, and our family is not normal.

As a result, you guys are like a group, you can communicate without any obstacles, I should have joined this group, but you insisted that I live like an ordinary person. "

“Can’t hold on any longer?” Hela looked at her with a half-smile. “It’s only been a short time!”

“I just think it’s a little unfair to me.

It’s not that I can’t accept a normal life, but I’m in an unusual environment, and I’m kind of excluded.”

clatter! clatter! clatter!

Aaron tapped his index finger on the table. “I think I understand what you mean.”

"You do not understand."

"No, I understand, I really do.

Don't forget, I'm only one year older than you." Aaron said earnestly, "You are now like being caught between the extraordinary and the ordinary, unable to go up or down."

Wanda nodded noncommittally, "It's very awkward. It makes me feel... uneasy. It seems that it doesn't matter whether I'm there or not."

“She’s so hypocritical and lacks a sense of security.” Hela raised her eyebrows and turned to look at Aaron. “Should we tell her?”

Aaron met Wanda's expectant gaze, and inexplicably felt a little depressed. "No, telling her will only increase the risk."

“That’s true, but sometimes the harder you push, the bigger the rebound.

You should know her abilities better than I do, and she is greatly affected by emotions."

Hearing this, Aaron thought for a while and asked in a deep voice: "Do you remember what you promised me?"

"I have to stay in the Divination House, I can't join S.H.I.E.L.D., and I can't use my supernatural powers at will." Wanda said calmly with a hint of grievance, "I have done it all, and I can continue to adapt.

Actually, if you think about it carefully, this is not a bad idea. "

"You say one thing and mean another. Do you really think I can't tell?" Aaron rolled his eyes at her unhappily. "What do you want?"

"You just refused."

"I really can't tell you, because..." Aaron hesitated, suddenly thinking of the scene he had predicted, and shuddered.

He was extremely wary of the source of Scarlet Witch's magic, and he didn't dare let her know too much.

"Okay! I didn't think it through at the time and raised a phoenix as a canary." Aaron sneered and said with mixed feelings: "From today on, you are free."

"You want to drive me away?"

Wanda's voice trembled, and regret instantly spread throughout her body.

She shouldn't complain, shouldn't be dissatisfied, and shouldn't question him.

"I..." Wanda opened her mouth with difficulty and explained incoherently: "That's not what I meant, I..."

"I don't mean to drive you away, I just want to give you a long vacation." Aaron smiled and waved his hand, "It was my negligence not to consider your feelings, but it's not too late to make up for it now.

You can do whatever you want in the future! If you are tired, you can come back anytime. Your room will always be reserved for you. "

Hearing this, Wanda felt mixed emotions.

After a moment of silence, she forced a smile and said, "I know I was wrong. How about just pretending that what happened just now never happened?"

"Not so good. You can hold on for a short period of time, but you'll probably get depressed over time. Won't I be the one in trouble then?" Aaron said half-jokingly, and then asked, "Then can you tell me who contacted you during the two days I was away?"

"Ah this...

No! No one is looking for me. "

"I've already made the biggest concession, can't I get the truth in return?" Aaron asked with a playful smile, "Don't try to cover it up, your attitude changed too suddenly, this is not normal."

Wanda looked conflicted, and her voice was weak and trembling, "Vision, he was the one who came to find me.

He hopes that I can join the Avengers' reserve team and contribute to the world."

"I remember I told you before what it means to be a superhero, right?"

"Responsibilities and troubles," Wanda said, biting her lip.

"To be exact, it's the crushing responsibility and endless troubles."

“In fact, Natasha, Steve, and Hawkeye all approached us before Vision, but we all refused.

But Vision is... weird, I don't know how to say no.

It seemed like what he said made sense, and that’s what I should do.”

“Are you in love with him?” Hela was a little surprised. “Having developed feelings for a man-made iron lump? This joke is not funny at all.”
