Chapter 993: 2 Ways to Solve the Problem, Asgardians on Vacation in Prison

After hearing what Jane, Hela and Aaron said, Fitz felt mixed emotions, including relief, heartache, helplessness and many other complex emotions mixed together, which made his heart beat faster.

"Tell me how to find her. I want to rescue her."

“Dude, I’m a fortune teller, not a wish-granting machine.” Aaron complained, “Simmons, keep insisting, and you keep researching, and you’ll find a way sooner or later.

If all else fails, find a spaceship and search the universe slowly. This painting is my clue for you."

"How can you comfort people like that?" Wanda rolled her eyes at him and wanted to say something comforting, but when she opened her mouth she didn't know what to say.

"Then tell me the origin of that stone." Fitz grasped something sharply, "It was dug out nearly a hundred years ago, from the earth, and Hydra is also looking for it."

"I don't care about that." Yali said as a matter of course, "One hundred thousand dollars is only enough for you to get this 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 confusedly.

"It matters a lot, if you really want me to say..."

"Sure, there's nothing to hesitate about." Skye said immediately, "We all want to rescue Simmons."

"Okay!" Aaron spread his hands and said, "The boulder was left by the Kree to destroy the Inhumans."

Skye: ...

"This is really unfriendly!"

"How did you know?" Coulson asked.

“That’s all I can say.

I've given you the clues. Maybe you can ask Skye's mother. She might know how to use the boulder to open a passage to another world."

Fitz looked at Skye hurriedly, pleading, "Skye, you..."

"Let me try!" Under Fitz's hopeful gaze, Skye dialed Jiaying's phone number with mixed feelings.

Soon, a gentle voice came from the phone, "Daisy, my dear daughter, it's rare for you to 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 the stone," Skye explained.

"I won't tell you anything, daughter.

The boulder is dangerous and will bring disaster to the Inhumans. The safety of your friends and the Inhumans is a good choice for me.

I guess SHIELD wants to learn how to deal with the Inhumans, so they asked you to ask me. They really made a wrong calculation."

"This has nothing to do with SHIELD. Aaron told me so."

Hey!

Are you selling out your teammates so easily?

Aaron held his forehead and shook his head, feeling as if billions of 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 showed so.

He also divined the environment of the other world that the giant stone connected to."

"Is that so?" Jiaying murmured in a low voice, "I think I understand. I can only tell you that Gaius has the ability to bring your friend back."

"Fuck!"

Aaron couldn't hold it anymore, and 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 unceremoniously, "Skye's mother, right?"

"Who are you? Don't you have any manners?"

"Haha! Who am I?

I am Aaron Gaius, the man you mentioned who has 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 livid 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 have been so low-key, why are there still people who want to harm me?"

"But my mother wouldn't lie to me about something like this."

“Skye, you can only know a person’s face but not his heart.

Your mother is the leader of the Inhumans, not some innocent girl. She may show her human side when facing you, but do you know what she is like normally?"

"You are being unreasonable and making unfounded arguments."

"I only know that it is impossible for a naive person to lead the Inhumans for such a long time. Moreover, in this world, the situation of the Inhumans is actually better than that of the mutants."

"Okay, stop arguing." Fitz interrupted impatiently, 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;

Completing the mission will reward you with 600 magic points; there is no penalty for failing the mission; do you accept it? 】

"It's not that there is no solution at all." Aaron changed his words smoothly and chose to accept the task.

Six hundred magic points were not a lot, but he was very poor now and urgently needed to recover.

Anyway, it's just going to a Death Star to pick someone up. 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 being, has lived there for half a month, what danger could there be?

"any solution?"

Aaron let out a long sigh and walked to the shelf to take down Captain Jack's compass.

"Ahem! Let me introduce you to the Gaius Compass. It will point to the thing you want most in this world.

I don’t know much about the Monolith, but someone out there must know about 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 raises 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 option."

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..."

I repeated it several times, and the compass needle kept moving, but it wouldn't stop.

"Is this broken? Or am I not sincere enough?"

“It’s not bad, nor is it that you are not sincere enough, but... there are too many people who know how to open a portal through the boulder.

They are distributed in different locations, including the Inhumans and Hydra. Some old antiques may also know about it. After all, it was left by the Kree, and it has a history of at least thousands of years. "

"I'll show you how to use it correctly." Aaron took the compass back and whispered, "Anyone other than the Inhumans who knows how to open the boulder."

The compass needle moved again, but much less.

"See? You have to learn to use the process of elimination." Aaron coughed lightly and continued, "Next, I'll show you the real technique."

“Someone who is friendly to us and knows how to open the boulder.”

As soon as the words were spoken, the pointer began to move 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 troublesome than I thought."

"As long as 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 stronghold."

"Nick Fury's attitude is not important. My attitude is important." Aaron said with interest, "I don't want my peaceful life to be disrupted."

"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. S.H.I.E.L.D. will take care of offending people."

"That's easy to say. I was just sold out by a SHIELD agent!" Aaron said and glanced at Skye, the meaning was self-evident.

"Can't we really help them?" Wanda asked hesitantly.

“I’m already helping them, but I can’t get too involved, otherwise I’ll get myself into trouble.

I don’t really care about the Hydra, but I really don’t want to experience the feeling of flies flying around my ears.”

"Okay! There is another roundabout way to save the country."

"What method?" Fitz asked immediately.

Aaron took a deep breath, held the compass and read: "Anyone who is friendly to us and knows clues about the boulder."

The compass needle swayed left and right, and after two seconds it pointed to an accurate direction.

"This, this is also possible?" Skye murmured in disbelief.

“There’s nothing strange about this, remember what I said before?

That huge stone has a history of at least several thousand 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 about it.”

"Notify May to bring the Airbus over." Coulson looked at Skye and said, "Aaron, we may need you to come with us."

"No problem, but that's another price."

"Another hundred thousand. Any more will have to be included in our team's budget for next year."

Aaron gave him a disdainful look, "It used to be at least seven figures, but now you're so stingy with six figures?"

"I would like to be more generous, but my financial resources do not allow it."

"cut!"

"Um...can I go with you?" Wanda asked, raising her hand.

"Of course." Coulson nodded with a smile. Wanda is a person with super powers. Nick Fury had put her on the list of the second generation of Avengers a long time ago, although there has been no opportunity to recruit her yet.

But it is certain that with her help, they will be much more relaxed.

"Of course not." Aaron gave her a glare, and Wanda looked away guiltily, "I just wanted to help."

"I don't need your help, I'm enough.

You stay here honestly, don't get involved in those messy things, and don't forget what you promised me."

"understood."

......

More than half an hour later, the stealth-mode plane hovered above the divination house.

Skye grabbed Fitz, launched a shock wave at the ground, and used the reverse thrust to jump onto the plane.

Aaron took Abe and got into Coulson's favorite car, Lola, and slowly went up the gangway.

"How petty." Wanda watched the Airbus fly away and couldn't help but complain, "I'm just looking for someone. I don't need superpowers. Is it necessary to be so serious?"

“It’s not up to you to decide whether to use it or not.” Hela smiled faintly, “Who knows if there will be any accidents!”

"The master said that there are only zero and countless times for this kind of thing." Jane added, "He will definitely not give you the first chance unless the situation is very special.

But apart from this, he is very tolerant of you."

Wanda nodded awkwardly. At this moment, she suddenly thought of the compass, and her eyes flickered. "Has the compass always been on the shelf?"

“Every time the owner finishes his work, he will put the compass on the shelf.

If you want to borrow it, you can always do so, but it’s best to let the owner know.”

......

Norway.

Aaron followed the pointer and took Coulson, Fitz and Skye to a prison.

Coulson skillfully showed his ID and went through a set of dialogue processes. The prison guards quickly let them go and gave them time to meet with the prisoners.

"Professor Randolph, long time no see." Aaron looked at the middle-aged man reading in the clean cell, and suddenly he realized something.

The monolith has been on Earth for a long time, and Randolph, an Asgardian who has also been on Earth for centuries, is the most likely person to come into contact with it and has a friendly attitude towards S.H.I.E.L.D.

"How can you find me here?" Randolph put down the book and sighed tiredly.

"How did you end up in the cell?" Skye asked.

"As you can see, I'm on vacation." Randolph looked around and said very relaxedly.

This single cell is obviously different from other cells. It is equipped with tables, chairs, benches, books, beds, and bathrooms. It can be said to be a small office.

Moreover, he was not wearing an orange prison uniform, but casual clothes. The most outrageous thing was that there was a plate of sandwiches and a cup of hot coffee on the table.

"Destroying property, public drunkenness, and then being put in a cell."

"Yes, Asgardians are usually quite alcoholic.

There was just one night when 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 good to stay here.

Norwegian prisons are pretty fancy now, with decent food, comfortable beds, a good collection of books, and I won’t attract attention.”

"You are the only one who can help us now." Fitz said, grabbing the bars of the cell door. "My girlfriend...friend was swallowed by a black boulder. She might have been teleported to another world."
