Chapter 123 The principle of investigator joining and portal
"We must report this situation." Agent Coulson reached for the earphone, "Director Fury asked us to find him, but he didn't say he wanted us to find a ghost. Sir, we..."
"Wait, Agent Coulson." Natasha Romanoff moved the flashlight, and the light spot started from the footprints left by Salomon and extended towards the entrance of the cave. Surprisingly, there was originally only a line of inward shoe prints on the ground.
A line of shoe prints walking outwards was slowly revealed. These were the prints of Karma Taj's unique short-heeled boots. Agent Coulson noticed this after Natasha Romanoff's reminder, and the shoe prints
There was also a slight friction sound, as if someone was rubbing the soles of his cowhide shoes on the granite wall here. His eyes widened in surprise, and he imitated Natasha Romanov in moving the flashlight around, and was careful.
He stretched his hand over the shoe print, but felt nothing.
"I have seen him. In fact, I have been tracking him for a while." He took a breath, "But he is a living person, maybe a person with special abilities, but definitely not a ghost. If so... maybe we need a
Priest."
"If you only attend mass on Christmas and Easter, you're considered a devout Catholic [Note 1]." Agent Romanoff said, "I like your sense of humor, Agent Coulson. Contact Operations
Team, we need to let them search along the footprints. I have a hunch that this line of footprints is our clue.
"I think we can let the scientists on the Quinjet come to the cave to investigate, and maybe we can know the cause of these phenomena." Agent Coulson said.
Natasha glanced at Agent Coulson, and now she was sure that Coulson did not know Salomon's identity. In fact, Natasha herself had some doubts about "magic", but Director Fury believed
, she wouldn't question it. But the good mood of harvesting clues often doesn't last long. Coulson pressed the earpiece repeatedly, but there was no response from the action team members who were supposed to speak. He tried to contact other people, but
The result was the same. Agent Coulson quickly informed Natasha Romanoff of this situation. He believed that this was not electromagnetic interference or poor signal, because he had never heard any noise. The only possible situation was
They were all killed, and there were unexpected enemies in the thick darkness outside the cave.
When Agent Coulson and Natasha Romanoff cautiously walked out of the cave, they found that the Quinjet parked near the cave had disappeared, but they did not hear the sound of any aircraft engine starting. If the Quinjet flew
They could definitely hear the loud noise from here. Other than that, there were no bullet casings, no traces of crossfire, the radio was completely silent, and the action team members and their vehicles completely evaporated.
In addition, there was a large forest that suddenly appeared. "They are missing." Natasha Romanov used her flashlight to shine on the place where the Quinjet originally stayed. She lifted the alert and put the pistol in her thigh.
holstered her gun because she came to an even worse conclusion.
"Or maybe... we are missing."
Salomon naturally didn't know what was going on in the cave, nor did he know that Nick Fury was banging the table and cursing because he lost two of his best agents at once. In fact, ever since he walked into that weird place
After the forest, he became nervous. He tried to use the hanging ring to open the portal and leave here, but every time he cast a spell, no matter how he recited the spell and made gestures, the portal could not be opened, and there was only a small group of spinning and flying sparks.
He was laughing at him. He didn't realize that a spell similar to [Dimensional Anchor] was cast here, but it was a fact that the portal could not be opened. He could only hold the magic missile wand in his hand tightly and insert another fireball wand into his sleeve.
Here, ready to give any guy who attacks him a good look.
As the sky darkened, the light shining on the top of the deep woods gradually faded, and the remaining warmth of the setting sun was quickly swallowed up by the shadow extending from the ridge behind him. Salomon no longer hesitated to cast spells at this time, he took out the scroll and cast spells,
So that he could see something clearly in this fog-like darkness. The forest was very quiet, with only the sound of broken leaves under his feet. Since the Agamotto crystal ball did not indicate the direction of the alien magic power, Salomon also
Without a goal, he could only walk in the general direction of the town, hoping to meet someone. Even if he could see something clearly, the forest was too quiet and eerie, and he desperately wanted to meet someone.
It doesn't matter whether it's a person or a monster, because he has an unsettling familiarity with the environment here.
He understood why he felt familiar here, not because of the environment here, but because of the atmosphere. The ubiquitous fear spread in every corner of the forest, as if there was something lurking in the darkness behind every bush.
A creepy monster. This sense of familiarity comes from the memory of the warlock, the ruler of the old days, in the stigmata that he has never wanted to touch.
Salomon once tried to pry into that memory out of curiosity, but he forgot a lot of things - he knew what he wanted to pry into, and the memory was enough to allow him to be there. If it weren't for the second-level spell [Mechanization
If [Mind] were in effect, he might remember more. But subconsciously, the kind of madness that went deep into his bones kept lingering in his mind for a while, and it took him a long time to get out of it.
He couldn't feel that feeling. But he still remembered the name of the sect leader. It was a name that could not be said using human physiological structure. He was...
Salomon immediately stopped thinking and reminiscing, forcing himself to keep the picture in his mind on the fruit yogurt parfait and grilled lamb chops. This was difficult, as difficult as "not thinking about pink elephants", but
Years of meditation practice had some effect, and Salomon quickly entered a state of concentration (thinking only about fruit yogurt parfait and grilled lamb chops) and cleared all the images in his mind.
Subtle whispers sounded in the forest again. This time, these sounds had direction and distance. Salomon stopped and closed his eyes. He concentrated on trying to distinguish the source of this sound. These were several small whispers.
The girls' singing was childish and crisp. Their voices were intertwined, making it difficult for Salomon to distinguish what they were saying. He slowly walked over following the sound, and gradually, the originally fuzzy and subtle sounds became clear.
Some.
The ash branch is the wand of magic.
Knock three times on the earth and three times on the invisible door, and the Holy Spirit will appear and deliver the revelation.
The Holy Spirit will whisper to us the opportunity to realize our true desires.
On the other side of the door is the future we long for.
Salomon slowed down his pace, trying not to attract anyone's attention. Everything he encountered after coming out of the cave pointed out one problem, that is, the space and time he was in now were not normal, no matter the sunset before
The warm wind was telling him this fact, and this was also the reason why the portal could not be opened.
If we look at it from a higher dimension, everything in this universe is an established fact, everything has already happened, and these realities are like a thin film covering the three-dimensional world, forming a world.
Destined fate. Since three-dimensional creatures cannot understand the existence of higher dimensions, a simple and clear example can be given.
Take out a stack of white papers and stack them together, and then assume that humans are two-dimensional creatures, and the white paper is a flat space. Two-dimensional humans live on a piece of white paper, and all papers have a cube drawn on it.
Cross-sections, the patterns on these stacked papers together form a cube, but to two-dimensional humans, this is just one two-dimensional cross-section after another. As time goes by, that is, jumping from a piece of paper below to
On the piece of paper above, these cross-sections will change accordingly through time and space - but in fact this cube is fixed, its length, width and height have not changed, only the cross-section observed by two-dimensional humans has changed.
, and these cross-sections are the reality that people observe.
The function of the portal spell is to fold the paper and allow two-dimensional humans to travel from one end of the cross-section to the other. Unless Salomon repositions himself in time and space and finds the piece of paper he is currently on,
Otherwise, he would not be able to know which piece of paper to fold, and the portal would not be able to be opened.
There are several ways to reposition yourself in space and time.
The simplest way is to ask the people living here. He does not need to know which day it is, he only needs to know the approximate year. The greater the time error, it is equivalent to folding more paper at one time, and accordingly
The more difficult it is to cast a spell, but the single-digit year error is not a big problem for Salomon, although it is a bit difficult.
Another way is to find a place to meditate, call Weishan Emperor, and ask Weishan Emperor for the time. As an extradimensional creature, that is, an existence living on another stack of paper, Weishan Emperor can tell Salo from a third-person perspective
Which piece of paper was he currently on, which was the exact time that Salomon was told - but the question was, was this time calculated from the birth of Gaia, the Mother Earth Goddess, rather than Jesus.
In fact, the time used by many Kama Taj's mystics is the Gregorian calendar, because probably few people will encounter abnormal time. In order to reduce the calculation amount when casting spells, Salomon did not bother to ask Wei.
Emperor Shan, this is retribution for being lazy before. If Salomon had not met the locals, he would have done this, although it would be quite troublesome to explain it to Emperor Wei Shan. And who knows when Wei Shan Di
Will Shan Di burn him again because of these three rings that forcibly obtained magic power?
The last way is to leave here and go to New York on foot. Unless Salomon is in the time of King Arthur, there must be a Kama Taj Temple in New York. Then he can see the Supreme Mage and explain the reason to her.
Find a way to go back. But there are doubts about this method, because Salomon doesn't know whether this is a time anomaly in a small area, or whether he has really traveled from the cave to other times - if it is the former, then it will be like in
With a two-dimensional cross-section stacked with several layers of cross-sections from other papers, he might not be able to get out of this boundary so easily; if it was the latter, he could try to go to New York.
Salomon decided to try the simplest method.
