Just after the hammer took his last breath, Gruchak said goodbye to Mocott with a smile.
The experience of being able to deal with a legendary demon that was very powerful in itself but was trash at the time was enough to make the idiot Gruchak happy.
Maybe he could be excited for several days because he had done such a great thing.
But when he was about to open the portal and return to the Holy Mountain of Harrogas, he found that he seemed to have been denied access.
Both hands were tightly stuck in the gap in the portal, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't proceed to the next step.
This made his slightly deficient brain begin to overload.
"Mocott, what's going on with this portal?"
Gruchak chose to ask others.
"How do I know, maybe the way you use force is wrong?
But don’t think about it. Let’s go to Rumlow’s place with me first.
I was somewhat worried that the boy would encounter some kind of problem during this period, and suddenly he would have to be killed. "
Mocott said, rubbing his broken head.
Of course he knew that Gruchak couldn't go back because Burqaso restricted him, but he really couldn't think of a good reason for this fool to understand this.
A being who stubbornly lets muscles defeat magic is basically impossible to convince.
Even Mocott doubted why Bulkesso would let Gruchak participate in the battle.
If given a choice, Mocott felt that even letting Karga come here would be more suitable than Gruchak.
At least that guy Calgar has enough brains.
"Do you care about the food?"
Gruchak raised his eyebrows, as if he thought this action was cool.
In fact, the action he made at this time revealed something funny in Mocott's eyes...
"……Tube!"
Mocott gave Gruchak a positive answer after letting out a long sigh.
As for whose money it will cost to take care of the food?
Of course it’s Rumlow…
Although this approach is not very good, Mocott feels that his teaching during this period is enough for Rumlow to take charge of this rice bucket and eat a few meals.
"I've been wanting to get some protein powder for a long time!
I heard that people in this world like to use this when building muscles.
And what about the nitrogen pump? I want some too! "
Gruchak seemed overly excited, this guy was simple.
Simple coming and going is the real happiness. When getting along with Gruchak, it is quite happy as long as you don't pay too much attention to it.
"become.
But then you have to give that boy some money.
You can't let him bear all your expenses. "
Mocott said, rolling his eyes.
Although Rumlow does not lack that little money, payment is one of the most basic fairness.
Mocott has no intention of breaking this supposed rule.
“I’m going to trade all my money into protein powder and nitrogen pumps!
Also, I want that fitness water bottle and backpack!
besides! I want to apply for a fitness card! "
Gruchak's demands grew.
Mocott could only agree to his request like coaxing a child.
To be honest, if Mocott had such a child, he would definitely strangle him to death and give birth to another one...
As for how useful ordinary human fitness equipment is to Gruchak, he doesn't care at all.
When an idiot finds that he is tired of playing, he will naturally divert his attention.
As for whether it would surprise ordinary people... Mocott doesn't think so.
There is a gym inside SHIELD... No outsiders will come in there.
…
Mr. Fantastic Reed is working on some magical machine in his research room.
For this scientist who can use science to create things that even metaphysics cannot understand, anything can appear in his laboratory as long as he is willing.
This guy is probably the smartest person in the world, but compared to Tony, Reed is less "destined".
"Reed, regarding Victor, are you really planning to fight to the death?"
The stone man asked his partner seriously.
The Fantastic Four were now one less person, and the room suddenly became much quieter.
Although Johnny is not a very pleasant partner, he is also a comrade who has experienced many things together.
Revenge is certainly justified in this case!
“I knew something was wrong.
But I must say that we have no way out now. "
Reed worked on the machine in front of him without raising his head.
There are very few people who can understand the direction of his research. More often than not, his partners will only trust him instead of intervening in his research.
"Is Victor's magic really something that the machine in front of you can block?
We've seen a lot of supernatural stuff, and each time you've found a way to deal with it.
But only Victor is different, and he is definitely not a weakling in the field of science. "
The stone man said very seriously.
Although these words seemed a bit disappointing, they were all spoken from the bottom of his heart.
“That’s just part of it.
If you want to defeat Victor, it won't do much if you just block magic.
After all, magic is just a means of mobilizing some energy that we cannot observe.
All manifestations of difference cannot be separated from energy.
What I have to do now is just to prevent all the energy from being released.
Then you can teach that guy a lesson. "
Reed's words were very serious, but the stone man could hear the perfunctory tone.
He understood that Reid's words were definitely not sincere.
"No matter what you do, I believe in you."
The stone man showed his sincerity.
Although it is already made of stone, the trust in it still shines like a diamond.
"Is Susan still at Johnny's grave?"
Reed asked after tightening the last screw in his hand.
“Of course, Johnny was her only brother.
If it wasn't time for you and Victor to fight, I would advise you to accompany Susan. "
The stone man walked to Reed's side and looked at the oddly shaped small box in front of him.
Reed's research is always weird. If he had to describe his technological research and development, "I am thinking" might be a good standard.
Reed can make anything he needs, which is scary...
"Susan just wants to be left alone at this time and we need her to figure it out on her own."
Reid took off his gloves, then stretched out his hand to get the salad that he had not finished for two days from the living room.
Mr. Fantastic often acts incomprehensible, but in fact he understands his partners.
At that time, he and Susan watched Johnny's body being destroyed by Dr. Doom.
Reed understood that at this time, Susan was not only resenting her own inability to stop Dr. Doom, but also hating everyone present at the time.
This kind of willfulness is not good...
But Reed couldn't persuade Susan to give up this hatred.
"Hey guys!
Do you need a helper? "
The sudden voice seemed a perfect match for the elusive Constantine.
This guy was just a bit mean-mouthed, but he also knew that this was definitely not the right time to make fun of Johnny.
He originally wanted to ask the Fantastic "Three" if they planned to return to the four-person team.
But this guy's brain is still a little faster than his mouth occasionally, and this time he didn't hit the mark.
“I have a way around Victor’s magic.
So we don't need a mage to help us fight. "
Reed took a bite of the salad that had gone bad and put the bowl aside.
He had never been interested in getting to know Constantine.
In his opinion, Constantine did have a lot of effect when facing Alanya Spider Queen.
But Reed couldn't tell the difference between a witcher and a wizard.
His thoughts had never been on the Nephalem.
“But you probably won’t be able to break through the defense of the guy who touches and destroys authority.
I don't know how to explain it in a way that you can understand.
But just knowing that I can help you is enough. "
Constantine was quite careful when he spoke.
The people in front of him were not the villains and demons, but the Fantastic Four who had contributed a lot to ordinary people.
Although Constantine himself does not intend to become a famous hero, he will still maintain a considerable degree of respect for heroes.
At least it won't hurt other people's hearts in this sad environment...
perhaps……
“If you offer to help us at this time, I will remember it.
But Mr. Constantine, although I don’t know much about you, I have been told more than once to keep a certain distance from you. "
Reed said seriously.
He is a scientist, although most of the things he comes up with are not very scientific...
But he still believes in statistics...
Ten people are teammates with Constantine, and they can come back for almost three and a half years...
Three people will yell at Constantine, and the remaining half will curse Constantine crazily in heaven or hell.
There may be lucky ones among them, but they are not many after all.
"Yes, if it were me, I would tell my friends to stay away from me.
But sometimes, only I can do things that none of them can.
I regret this. "
Constantine was honest.
The stone man on the side only thought that Constantine was very rude.
Although the Stone Man didn't know when this guy came to Buster Tower, it didn't stop him from hating this kind of approach without telling anyone.
“We are all in a very low mood right now, and I hope you can give us enough private space, Constantine.
At least don't joke with us at this time. "
The stone man's tone was a bit harsh, but it was understandable.
He was very familiar with Dr. Doom's difficulties, so he didn't have much confidence in Constantine, a guy who looked very thin.
Even against Alanya, the Spider Queen, Constantine's performance was pretty good.
But the stone man still didn't know much about him.
"Maybe I should have brought some flowers, but please forgive me.
I was in such a hurry that I didn't have time to find a flower shop. "
There were some flaws in Constantine's words, but they were still within the bearable range.
So Reed and Ben didn't get too excited.
"In that case, I would like to know how you plan to help me?"
Reed's eyes sparkling with wisdom were filled with scrutiny.
Although he is not good at interpersonal communication, Reed is not an idiot.
He felt Constantine's sincerity, so he was willing to listen to this guy's specific plans.
"First, I will help you get the Invisible Woman out of the crisis of being corrupted."
Constantine only said this, and then took a long drag on his cigarette.
The amount of information in these words is enough!
"corrupt?"
Reed immediately became serious.
He still knew the name Corruption, and even investigated some information about the demons in the Burning Hell.
After all, they had only faced a legendary demon like Alanya Spider Queen not long ago, so it would be nonsense to say that he had no interest in it.
“The Invisible Woman is not in good shape.
Filled with hatred, she could easily be captured by the devil. If that happens, I have no choice but to kill her. "
Constantine said calmly.
From the moment he said the keyword "corruption", the dominance of this exchange has fallen into his hands.
Reed is a very powerful scientist, but Constantine does not think that Reed can restore a corrupted soul to its original appearance.
The souls corrupted by the Burning Hell did not become someone's puppet, but truly became a demon full of negative emotions.
If you want to purify such a soul, the minimum standard is to turn a burning hell into a high-level heaven.
It’s better to plan ahead for everything.
"In other words, you saw Susan being entangled in the Burning Hell?"
Reid's face finally showed some emotion.
This news is significant enough.
“Weapons are powerless when we lose our loved ones.
Such feelings may seem distant to Dr. Reed.
Although you just experienced it recently.
But what I want to say is that I don’t know how many times I have experienced this feeling.
That kind of despair and hatred can easily destroy all a person's past persistence! "
Constantine's seriousness seemed to impress Reed.
Ben on the other hand also suppressed his inner resistance to Constantine when it came to Susan.
When it comes to demons, Constantine is much more professional than them!
"What's the solution?"
Reed was just about to pick up the bowl and place it on his hungry stomach, but remembering the taste of the almost spoiled food, he stopped what he was doing.
"Perhaps it would be helpful to see a psychiatrist.
As long as a person still has hope and expectations, at least he will not be corrupted too quickly.
But this is based on the fact that there is no devil involved.
Now I suggest you find Invisible Woman first and then we sit down and talk.
Although the battle with Dr. Doom is equally important, it is at least not as imminent. "
Constantine took out a cigarette and placed it in front of Reed.
"This cigarette has a devil's soul rolled into it.
I think Dr. Reed, you must be able to study the nature of the soul scientifically, right?
At least allow ordinary people to find ways to attack souls? "
Constantine raised his chin and pointed at the cigarette with the tip of his chin.
The action was very frivolous, but Reid didn't care.
"Is this the reward you need?"
"This is one of those things."
Constantine faced Reed's scrutinizing gaze calmly.
He has nothing to be afraid of. An incomplete soul doesn't know how to be afraid!
Moreover, Constantine is no longer the psychic mage who cannot fight the devil head-on.
"Okay! Ben, go contact Susan.
Let her come over as soon as possible. "
At this time, Reed finally showed a bit of courage as the captain of the Fantastic Four.
Quite charming.
Constantine licked his lips and smiled.
"What about your second or even third condition? Tell me quickly!"
Reed said vigorously.
Constantine understood that three conditions were Reed's bottom line.
But three conditions are enough!
Even the fact that Reed was willing to help him study the demon's soul satisfied him from the beginning.
"I need information on another Human Torch.
After all, the Burning Angel from before is not completely dead yet. I want to see if I can help you get a chance to take revenge with your own hands.
And I think you also need a powerful angel as a target to experiment with your weapons. "
Constantine smiled, covering his eyes with a smile.
This purpose is truth!
But it’s not just what he said!
“Jim Hammond?
He ran out of energy and fell into a deep sleep as early as World War II! "
Reed said seriously.
The original Human Torch is also a well-deserved hero!
But he should still be sleeping!
And this Jim Hammond can be regarded as a challenge to the authority of gods by scientists!
He is an android through and through!
"But he's still here, isn't he?
I am very curious about how much proportion the soul plays in the birth of a life!
Especially this gentleman, it is very likely that he is not only the first time human beings have created a life like human beings!
It may also be the first time that humans have created a human soul! "
Constantine put out his burned out cigarette in the bowl of spoiled salad.
With a somewhat hateful smile on his face!
"Even if a hero is asleep, I will not agree to conduct research on him!"
Reed's attitude is a bit firm!
