A musty smell penetrated his nostrils. Guan Heng fanned to disperse the smell. He stepped on the creaking staircase and slowly walked to the study door on the second floor!
"Squeak!" Pushing open the old wooden door, Guan Heng walked in and looked around: "Well, there are a lot of books on the bookshelf, covering all subjects! It's so rich. It shows how kind the original homeowner is. of erudition!”
"Haha, thank you for the compliment!" The chair in front of the desk in the study suddenly turned, and there was a middle-aged man with a mustache sitting on it!
"Huh?!" Guan Heng looked surprised, "Why is there anyone here?" Then he asked: "Uncle, who are you? I remember this is private property. Not to mention that others have entered, even the address is have no idea!"
"Hello, young man!" The man with the mustache stood up, came to the table in a leisurely manner, and said to Guan Heng with a smile: "Let me introduce myself, I am Howard Stark, the owner of this villa!"
"Howard? His surname is Stark..." Guan Heng smashed his fist on his palm and suddenly said, "I know you, you are Howard Stark! Tony's father, a world-famous rich man, a weapons businessman, Genius scientist, one of the smartest superpowers on the planet! You single-handedly created Stark Industries in the early years, and you are also one of the participants and designers of the "Rebirth Project". You are also responsible for the superhero Captain America and his shield. Created! Moreover, the last original super serum you left was injected into me! After the war, you assisted and participated in the creation of SHIELD! In the end, you died in a car..."
Having said this, Guan Heng suddenly felt a chill coming from the soles of his feet straight to his forehead!
"You, you, you -" Guan Heng pointed at his mustache and said tremblingly: "Howard Stark! Aren't you dead?!"
"Calm down, Mr. Guan Heng!" Howard said calmly, "I am indeed dead. I died in a car accident caused by Hydra!"
"Then you are really a ghost!" Guan Heng breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, "If you are really a ghost, I won't be afraid anymore! I am a person who specializes in dealing with corpses, ghosts, gods and monsters. I’m used to it! Huh? Wait, you called my name just now, do you know who I am?”
"Of course I know!" Howard shrugged. "Believe me, after becoming a ghost, I know far more things than when I was a human! Although I can't just descend to the human world, there are many strange things in the country of death where I live. With the magic props, you can observe every corner of the world!"
"For example..." Howard smiled, "I know that you are probably the only one in New York City, or in the whole country M, who can see me now! Because your eyes contain special spiritual power!"
"Uh!" Guan Heng thought for a moment after hearing this and seemed to understand a little bit: "It turns out that in the God's Realm, the one-eyed dragon Odin said that he would give me a pair of eyes that can see through the essence of all things, and can see through all tangible and intangible things, even ghost souls. ! So that’s what it means! This ability... Tsk, is it good or bad?"
"So Mr. Howard, what are you doing here?" Guan Heng asked curiously.
"Exclusively waiting for you!" Howard saw the doubts on Guan Heng's face and explained: "I have lived with my wife in the Kingdom of Death for many years, and my life is pretty good. The Queen also trusts me, and I have also helped her solve a lot of trivial matters. ! As a gift, the Queen approved a day's leave for me to return to the human world. I planned to come back to see my old friends and son, but I didn't expect Tony to fall down due to poisoning!"
"So you showed up here, waiting for me to find the notes?!" Guan Heng guessed. "Yes, I realize that you can understand everything one step faster than anyone in this world! And before I died, I had discovered that SHIELD was gradually infiltrated by some dark force. Before something happened to me, I secretly took the notes Hide it well to prevent the research results from being used by bad people!" Howard's smile was meaningful, "Not many people know all this, and you Guan Heng may be one of them! So I guess you will find this place, so wait in advance!"
"Then tell me where the notes are now!" Guan Heng said with a smile on his face, "Save me the trouble of rummaging around!"
"Wait a minute, I'm not busy with taking notes!" Howard said quickly, "I still have some small things to ask you to help with!"
"That's it!" Guan Heng said nonchalantly, "Okay, as long as it's within my ability, you can give me whatever you want!"
"I estimate that I may get another vacation to return to the human world in the future!" Howard said, "The Queen of the Kingdom of Death is actually very generous. As long as she meets her needs, she will definitely receive a reward. I need a foothold and an agent in the human world. People take care of everything! Are you willing?"
"I'm so willing!" Guan Heng said with a smile, thinking to himself: "Who is this? Damn it! This is Howard Stark!! Oh my god! The super big shot in this world! He knows it. There are countless secrets, and the high technology he masters is astonishing. If you reveal any of them to me, it will be worth every penny. Let alone the agent, I will let him possess you... This will not work! Everything else will satisfy you!"
"That's great if you're willing!" Howard was also very happy, "By the way, let me tell you, my vacation is coming soon, let's take care of what we have to do now!"
As he spoke, Howard took out an object, which was a black star-shaped object: "Extend your right index finger!"
Guan Heng did as he was told, and the black stars suddenly wrapped themselves in a halo of light, wandering into Guan Heng's fingers! "This will be the communication tool between us from now on!" Howard explained, "You touch your forehead with your index finger and say my name silently in your mind. Although I am unlikely to show up right away, I can still talk to you at any time!"
"Yeah! This is very convenient!" Guan Heng nodded, "Since you want to hurry up, tell me now where the notes are!"
"Go downstairs, there is a secret door leading to..." Howard gave instructions, and then said: "There are some small inventions in my underground laboratory. If you are interested, just take them and play with them. I gave it to you! It’s getting late now, I’m going back to the land of death, goodbye!”
"Wait a minute!" Guan Heng shouted, "Since you finally returned to the human world, why don't you go see Tony? Don't you miss him so much that you came back?"
"Without special circumstances, I will not see him! I have secretly observed that he is living a good life, and I am satisfied!" Howard, who is about to disappear, said: "First of all, meeting someone who is injured is a meaningless act. Secondly, if My appearance in front of him will cause huge changes in the direction of the world in the future! The most important point is that as a soul, only you can see me, so I ask you to be my one-way contact in the human world!"
"Okay, no more words!" Howard's body was almost transparent, "Please keep your meeting with me a secret from Tony and say goodbye first!" After that, Howard's ghost completely disappeared from the spot!
"What a strange experience!" Guan Heng shrugged, "I guess only I will encounter it. Who gave us a pair of eyes that can see ghosts!"
