Chapter 776 Searching for Hank Pym, Searching the Wizard's Mansion (1/2)
Pah!
Aaron closed the small book and put it into the space ring.
"The information you provided is very useful. I am sure I can convince Hank Pym to provide sufficient Pym particles and the specific location of the Cosmic Cube in the past."
"That's good."
"Mr. Scott." Aaron pondered for a while, "I will provide you with a certain reward in this universe. I wonder if he is willing to become my Favored One?"
"What?" Scott pointed at himself blankly, "Me? Me?"
"Although you are just an ordinary person, still a chatterbox, and have nothing outstanding, you still have some excellent qualities."
"I will take it as a compliment." Scott smiled far-fetchedly, "Excuse me, what do you need to pay to become your Favored One, and what can you get?"
"Pay loyalty, faith and soul, as for what you get... it depends on the performance of the Favored One.
I don't need a Favored One now I did it before, but I may not do it in the future."
"I don't think he will be your follower." Scott spread his hands and said, "Scott Lang is just an ordinary person, and all he desires is a stable life and his daughter's smile."
"I understand, but you, no, to be precise, the Scott Lang of this universe has lost the greatest opportunity of his life."
Scott smiled awkwardly and scratched his head, "If you really want to repay, help me save someone."
"Please tell me, but don't mention it if it's too much trouble."
"Ava, she is a relatively pitiful girl who just wants to live. The energy in the quantum field can heal her body."
"I'll do my best." Aaron stood up and returned to the living room, "Everyone..."
The voice stopped abruptly. Tony and the other two were fighting for the food on the table. They didn't look like superheroes saving the world at all.
"You... don't need to!"
"To replenish energy!" Tony said seriously, "After all, we are going to do physical work next."
"When you say this, can you please wipe the residue from the corner of your mouth?" Scott said speechlessly, "Is that sesame?"
"I don't know, it should be!" Tony wiped the corner of his mouth and said with lingering feelings, "But I have never eaten such delicious sesame."
"Let's get back to the topic." Aaron smiled playfully, "I will go to Hank now, and I will be back in the afternoon at the latest. Please wait patiently."
"Wait." Banner suddenly said, "What if someone comes to you?"
" I cast a Muggle-repelling spell on this store. Unless I am in the store, ordinary people will ignore its existence once they get close, or remember something very important and have to leave. "
"I'm fine."
"Just a reminder, don't move what you shouldn't move.
The second floor is my private area, you'd better not go there." Aaron pointed at Abe, "Abe will watch you for me, you can watch TV or play cards before I come back.
In a word, stay here honestly."
After saying that, Aaron left the Pepsi House, drove his modified and enchanted motorcycle, and used Captain Jack's compass to find Hank Pym's location.
"Really... young and confident." Tony stood up and said, "I don't know how to evaluate him, but I can see that he doesn't like trouble and has been preparing to avoid and deal with trouble."
"Stark, wait patiently!" Steve said.
"What else can we do now besides waiting?" Tony spread his hands, "Does anyone want to explore the wizard's home with me?"
"Someone is watching us, Tony." Banner reminded, pointing a green finger at the harmless Abe.
"Doctor, you are really sorry for your current size.
It's just a cat. Even if it looks a little cute, can it talk?
My point is very simple. We can't put our hopes on someone we have only known for less than an hour. We don't even know if he is good or bad."
"He seemed to be in the same group with the Avengers when he was in Stark Tower." Scott reminded.
"Maybe it's a disguise, just like Hydra, Secretary General Alexander Pierce is like this."
Scott rolled his eyes, "I don't think he is a bad guy."
"Okay! Vote.
Please raise your hands if you agree to explore the wizard's mansion." Tony raised his hand and glanced at the other three. Seeing that they were unmoved, he was speechless, "Don't you all agree?"
"I definitely disagree." Scott said.
"I give up." Banner said weakly.
"Captain." Tony looked at Steve solemnly, "This is about the fate of the world. It's not that I don't believe him, but it's always better to be cautious."
Hearing this, Steve's face was uncertain, and he raised his right hand in a dilemma, "We can't take risks."
"Okay, two to one." Tony clapped his hands, "I used my glasses to check the structure of this house when I arrived. The second floor is indeed his private room, so there is no need to check.
Except for the locked studio, other places are probably open to customers.
But... here comes the point. "
Tony walked to a floor and stepped lightly, "There is a secret room underneath."
"Is that why you suspect him?" Scott asked doubtfully.
"If he is really honest, why build a secret room?"
"Uh... In my impression, secret rooms and large safes are the same concept."
"Safes usually contain gold, silver and jewelry, while secret rooms contain secrets that cannot be told."
"Is it really okay for us to do this?" Banner hesitated again.
"This is just in case, Banner." Tony took a deep breath, "If the things in here are insignificant, I will apologize to him in person when he comes back, but if it implies that he is not a good person, then we have to make plans early."
"How to open it? Break the door violently?"
"That. "Tony walked up to the lucky cat on the counter and turned it ninety degrees.
Click! Click! Click!
The door of the secret room slowly opened, revealing a row of steps leading to the depths.
"Wow!" Scott widened his eyes, "This is much cooler than a safe."
At this time, a white shadow ran over and blocked the door of the secret room.
"Don't block the way, little cat." Tony waved his hand casually, "We are just going in to take a look, we won't steal your master's things."
Roar!
Abe bared his teeth and roared, turning into a white dragon several meters high, with his head just reaching the ceiling.
White steam spewed out of its nose, which scared the four people who were at a loss.
"I knew this was not a good idea." Scott's face was pale, "I suddenly felt that we might not be able to go back."
"Uh... I said it was just a joke, do you believe it? "Tony smiled awkwardly but politely.
Abe rolled his eyes at him, then stretched out a dragon claw and made an international friendly gesture.
Are you kidding? Do you think I believe it?
The IQ of this holy dragon is quite high.
Just when the few people were at a loss, Abe suddenly heard a sound, glared at them fiercely, then shrank his body and made way.
"Is it time to transform?" Steve tried to ask.
"No, I think Gaius knows the situation here." Banner laughed dryly, and Abe nodded seriously, confirming his guess.
"So we can go down and take a look?" Scott asked.
"Almost!"
The four looked at each other and walked into the secret room along the steps, but they felt more uneasy and awed than before.
"Three strange masks, guns, wands, and emeralds." Scott looked strange, "This secret room seems to be Gaius's treasure house! Used to store some of his treasures. "
"What is that silver basin used for?" Steve asked.
"Good question, I don't know either." Tony spread his hands, then picked up a book from the shelf, "Isn't it too simple to have only one magic book?"
"Put down your dirty hands, I'm the prophecy book." The face on the cover of the prophecy book cursed indignantly. "There is an essential difference between the prophecy book and the magic book, I'm much more advanced than them."
"Wow!" Tony carefully put the prophecy book back in place, "You can predict the future, right?"
"Of course."
"What can you predict?" Steve asked eagerly, "Did we succeed in bringing the others back?"
"Haha!" The prophecy book sneered, "Except for the master, I won't make predictions for anyone else, and your attitude towards the master is not particularly polite."
"I don't think you can do it!" Tony said carelessly.
"Poor provocation, Mr. Tony Stark. "The prophecy book said lightly, "But the master may not let you in without asking me to tell you."
"Then tell us quickly, we are listening!" Scott said anxiously.
"Be polite, please? At least add the word 'please'."
"Uh... please tell us."
"Ahem!" The prophecy book cleared its throat, "What has happened will happen again, and what you are facing next is a war.
Victory can win back everything, and failure will lose everything."
"Why do I feel that this is the same as not saying it?" Scott frowned, "Can you be more specific?"
"No, because you are not polite to the master, I can only give you an encrypted prophecy, and whether you can crack it is your business."
"Oh my God! I can't solve puzzles!"
"I can." Tony took a deep breath, and his body seemed to review a terrible nightmare, and he couldn't stop shaking slightly, "I think I understand the meaning of this prophecy.
We must find the Space Stone, we must, or we will lose the battle before we even start it."
"Don't get excited, Stark."
"I can't help getting excited, Captain.
Haven't you understood what it means? Winning everything back means we bring back half of the lives, and losing everything means we, that is, the remaining half of the lives, will die. "
"What?" Steve was shocked and looked at the prophecy seriously, "Is that so?"
"You should go out." The prophecy answered irrelevantly, "Behind is the photo of the master's most cherished family, and the artifact he has not used yet. If you dare to touch it, you will bear the consequences.
No, Abe will not let you touch it. It will burn you to ashes before you touch it. "
"Let's go! Stark." Banner pulled his arm and thanked the prophecy.
After closing the secret room, the four sat on the sofa again, but their mood was particularly heavy.
......
"Okay, don't be angry." Aaron used his telepathic ability to remotely soothe Abe's emotions, "It's normal for them to doubt me. After all, I didn't completely believe them.
But now it seems that they are still trustworthy. Let them visit if they want to! Just don't mess with my things."
After the call ended, Aaron followed the pointer and drove around for more than half an hour, and finally stopped in front of a single-family villa.
"Is this the place?" Aaron parked the motorcycle, put away the compass, and rang the doorbell.
Ding Dong!
After a while, a white-haired old man with silver-rimmed glasses and a beard, but full of energy, opened the door.
"Dr. Hank Pym?"
"Who are you? What do you want to see me for?" Hank looked at the young man in front of him in confusion, and soon confirmed that he had never seen him before.
Aaron smiled lightly, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Aaron Gaius.
I want to ask you for a favor, I need some Pym particles... four tubes will be enough."
"Haha! "Hank Pym rolled his eyes and said with disdain, "I don't know where you heard the rumor from. Just because my name is Hank Pym, you can't assume that I have the Pym particles!
Now, stranger, please leave, or I will call the police. "
Hank was about to close the door, Aaron reached out to stop him, and said with a smile: "Dr. Pym, are you sure you want to drive me away!"
"I'm very sure."
Bang!
The door was closed tightly, and Aaron looked at the door that was only a few centimeters away from his nose, shrugged helplessly, "Okay! I wanted to talk to you about Janet!"
As soon as the voice fell, the door opened with a whoosh, and Hank looked at him solemnly, "What did you say?"
"Janet, your wife, Hope's mother. "Aaron said calmly, dropping a few depth bombs on Hank's calm state of mind.
Hank's pupils trembled violently, and his breathing gradually became rapid, "Who sent you? Darren?"
"Don't be nervous, Dr. Pym, I haven't even seen your favorite student.
A man in red and black clothes asked me to find you."
"That's impossible." Hank said without hesitation.
"He also thought you wouldn't believe me, so he asked me to tell you about your wife."
"OK! Tell me, who is he?"
"I can't say."
"Darren also knows something about my wife. He is trying to crack my molecular formula. Do you think I will believe you if you make up such a lie?"
Aaron shrugged and said speechlessly: "No wonder he said you are a stubborn old man, but I can understand your feelings.
Okay, I tell you, he is the second generation Ant-Man, who traveled from the future time and space. "
"Heh! This nonsense is getting more and more interesting."
"Janet, while on a mission, shrunk herself to subatomic size in order to dismantle a missile.
You always believed that she was not dead, and in fact, she was not dead."
