Chapter 76 I Want to Try
"You!!!"
Aitri looked at the corpses strewn across the ground and could only lower his head in helpless compromise.
Thanos stood at the highest point of the Nidavellir Mountains, overlooking everything, with his vast army and the Black Order behind him.
Ebony Maw came before Thanos, knelt on one knee, and held up the newly forged Infinity Gauntlet.
"Your subordinate swears to serve you until death, you are the most powerful being in the Universe…"
Thanos took the Infinity Gauntlet, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, and slowly put it on.
After putting it on, a golden light flashed in his eyes, and he clenched his fist tightly.
"Next stop, Midgard of the Nine Realms!"
Westview is a very suitable place for rest and recuperation.
Although it was the off-season for tourism, due to many farms along the way growing wheat, one could see golden waves of wheat swaying across the plains, looking like a fairyland at first glance.
Just being there made one feel relaxed and happy.
Autumn had arrived, and the weather was slightly cool, yet it was the most comfortable temperature.
"Ding! You have successfully checked in at a famous Marvelscenic spot!"
"Reward: A pot of endlessly refillable Peach and Plum Fragrance Wine!"
Arthur was sitting in the courtyard drinking Pu-erh tea; such a place was perfect for tasting tea and enjoying the scenery.
This feeling of contentment made him let out a long sigh.
In fact, he had never had any grand ambitions; being able to fully enjoy life was already very satisfying.
When he heard the system prompt, he wasn't too surprised, after all, this was the Life Enjoyment System.
Every kind of enjoyment had its own definition.
The system gave rewards based on his mood.
He felt very comfortable, looking at the distant scenery and smelling the aroma of the Pu-erh tea beside him.
A hint of gentleness appeared in his eyes.
He raised his right hand, gently shook it, and an antique-looking pot appeared in his hand.
"A pot of Peach and Plum Fragrance Wine": Can be refilled infinitely; the wine is clear and transparent, and drinking it can exercise the body and internal organs, contributing to health preservation.
"This stuff is really pretty good!"
Arthur shook the wine in his hand, a slight smile playing on his lips.
If he let Wanda and the others try it, after all, his own body was getting stronger and stronger.
If their bodies weren't properly exercised, how could they endure?
As for himself, having half the strength of the audience was already impressive enough.
"Arthur."
As Arthur casually placed the wine pot on the table, a delicate and beautiful face peeked out from above.
"Zero." Arthur squinted, looking against the sunlight to make out the face.
Wasn't this Wanda? At this moment, Wanda's lips were slightly curled, and her face held a smile.
"Is something wrong?"
Arthur reached out, pulled her head down, kissed her deeply, and then looked at Wanda.
Only in moments of tranquility could one truly appreciate how beautiful life was.
Over the past year, he had experienced everything he wanted to, and in the end, he found that what he liked most was this kind of leisurely life.
"Are you planning to lie here all day today?"
Wanda pursed her lips, smiling as she brushed her golden hair behind her ear.
Arthur had been lying there ever since he arrived.
Although she also liked this peaceful life, she didn't want to waste her precious time just looking at the scenery.
She still wanted to explore the surroundings.
"The journey was tiring, let's rest for a night, okay? We can go out and play tomorrow morning, alright?"
Arthur casually pinched Wanda's cheek, asking in a gentle tone.
Although he wasn't driving the whole way, he was basically moving around in the car.
Moreover, Wanda and Lorna's bodies were far inferior to Gwen's.
Gwen's physique was very strong, so resting was fine.
Plus, being in the car constantly had made them a bit mentally fatigued.
"Then how about we go soak in a hot spring to relax a bit later?"
Wanda's eyes sparkled, blinking her large eyes, pouting and acting spoiled.
She had already figured out that Arthur was soft-hearted and not stubborn.
The gentler she was, the easier it was to get him to agree.
And she had also checked; there was a good hot spring nearby.
She heard that after soaking, one would feel much more relaxed.
"Hot spring?"
Arthur was stunned for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully: "That's a good idea, it's perfect for relaxing!"
"Mr. Arthur, what are you two talking about?"
Lorna saw the two whispering and pulled Gwen over, running towards them.
Because Lorna and Gwen were roughly the same age, they had a lot of fun together on the journey.
"We were just discussing whether to go to the hot spring resort in Westview."
Arthur turned to the lively duo and repeated their conversation.
"Hot spring?!"
Lorna's eyes widened, her long eyelashes making her eyes even brighter: "Can we go to a hot spring?" She had only seen them on TV, and just thinking about it made her incredibly happy.
"I haven't been to a hot spring either, I want to go too!"
Gwen nodded repeatedly from the side; she had read many reports about hot springs before.
Although she later won first place in a beauty pageant, she never had time to rest properly, so even when she had the chance, she hadn't been to a hot spring. She hadn't expected there to be one here; she was so excited that she stood on her tiptoes, her body swaying uncontrollably.
Just by looking at her, one could tell she was overjoyed.
"Alright! Since everyone wants to go, then it's a unanimous vote!"
After saying this, Arthur casually picked up his phone nearby: "Red Queen, please book our tickets." It had to be said, with Red Queen, he basically didn't have to worry about these things.
As long as it was something on the internet, Red Queencould handle it perfectly for him.

"Let's go!"
Arthur waved his hand and opened a Dimension Door, which clearly led to the manor.
He slowly drove the bumblebee out from inside.
After all, they had to pass through some bumpy sections, and the EleMMentPalazzo wasn't suitable for driving in such places.
At the Westview Hot Spring Resort.
Considering Wanda's identity, they didn't go to the public area but instead booked a large private hot spring room.
Inside was a small living room where they could eat and drink.
Pushing open the balcony door, they were greeted by a view surrounded by high walls on both the left and right sides.
From the front, they could see most of Westview's scenery, but because of the secluded location, it was only a small view.
Most of what caught their eye was the dense Birch Ridge, with its golden-yellow leaves appearing exceptionally beautiful.
"Wow, this place is truly beautiful!"
Gwen eagerly walked over, her face full of excitement as she looked at the scenery outside.
Soaking in a hot spring while enjoying the beautiful view was an immense pleasure.
Although her family background wasn't bad, she had never been to such a luxurious private room.
One could even say that this place looked better than the promotional pictures online.
Because there were few people, almost no one could be seen, only mountains and plains covered in forests.
Trees provided shade, and the autumn wind rustled through them, creating a soothing sound that made one feel incredibly comfortable.
"Gwen, Lorna, let's go change into our swimsuits first!"
Wanda, like an older sister, urged the two to follow her to change clothes.
As for Arthur, after they went in to change, he simply put on a pair of shorts in the room.
After taking off his shirt, his entire body of muscles was revealed.
This was the so-called "looks thin in clothes, muscular without."
The lines of his muscles seemed to have been meticulously sculpted with a carving knife.
One could even say that if painted grey, he would be no different from a perfect statue.
The distribution of his muscles was incredibly harmonious, almost like a golden ratio; he could easily win first place in a competition.
"These three haven't changed yet?"
Arthur shook his head helplessly; this was where the difference between boys and girls became apparent: "Never mind, I'll enjoy it myself first."
He slowly walked down the steps by the hot spring, and as soon as he stepped into the warm water, a warm sensation immediately enveloped his entire body.
The hot spring water gently surrounded him, every inch of his skin filled with comfort and warmth. The current lightly brushed against him, as if all worries and stress dissipated with the ripples.
In his ears were the rustling of leaves and the gentle gurgling of water, which sounded exceptionally soothing.
He casually found a large rock by the pool and sat down, quietly experiencing this tranquility and ease.
"Oh, right!"
Arthur suddenly remembered something, and with a pull of his right hand,
The Peach and Plum Fragrance Wine immediately appeared before him. At the same time, he casually took out the wine glass and tray he had obtained earlier, placing them on the edge of the hot spring, the tray gently swaying on the water's surface.
Opening the bottle cap, a strong aroma of wine wafted out, as if he were in an orchard. The sweet and enticing fruity scent made Arthur involuntarily take a deep breath.
"Nice, truly good wine!"
He eagerly poured a glass; the pink liquid slid into the cup like silver threads.
After drinking it, a faint taste of wine mixed with the sweetness of peaches flowed down his throat.
Although there was a slight spiciness, it was quickly masked by the fruity aroma.
A warm current also surged through his body, but because his physique was too strong now, although he could feel some changes, they were not obvious.
"It seems there must be something special in this wine."
Arthur quickly realized that this wine was even more useful than he had imagined.
Thinking of this, a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth; if this was the case, bathing might also help.
He raised his hand and continuously poured the Peach and Plum Fragrance Wine into the hot spring. Because he kept pouring, in less than five minutes, the hot spring water turned slightly reddish.
And Arthur could clearly feel a faint energy slowly seeping into his skin, gradually improving his body.
"Sister Gwen, hurry up!"
Lorna, having changed her clothes, skipped in.
She was wearing a cute dark swimsuit.
Although it looked ordinary, it was clear there was still room for development.
Arthur turned his gaze towards the private room's main hall,
Only to see Gwen and Wanda walking over, blushing and pushing each other.
Gwen had changed into a white one-piece swimsuit, which perfectly accentuated her figure.
Although not particularly curvaceous, she possessed an indescribable beauty.
Wanda, however, was different; she wore a sexy red swimsuit, looking as if she was about to burst out of her clothes.
But her face was completely flushed, and she was secretly peeking at Arthur.
Once in the hot spring, Arthur unreservedly stared at Wanda.
It had to be said, this outfit was even bolder than he had imagined.
"Wanda, come sit next to me?"
Arthur patted the large rock beside him, revealing a mischievous smile.
"I'm not going!"
Wanda immediately saw through Arthur's intentions; she would never go over.
After all, it surely wouldn't be for anything good.
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect…"
Arthur continued to stare at Wanda, and with the faint aroma of wine in the hot spring, a mischievous smile again appeared on his lips.
"You pervert!"
Wanda turned her head away, blushing.
Arthur then turned his gaze to the other two.
It had to be said, everyone had their own charm.
Gwen felt embarrassed under his gaze, shrinking into the hot spring, only her head peeking out to breathe.
Lorna, however, didn't care and didn't take it to heart at all.
"What did you put in?"
Wanda smelled a hint of wine, an aroma that became even more distinct in the steam of the hot spring.
"This is Peach and Plum Fragrance, a good wine. Have a taste."
Arthur stood up, carrying the tray, and walked to Wanda's side, pouring her a glass.
Wanda curiously looked at the wine in Arthur's hand, took a puzzled sip, and her eyes immediately lit up.
It was sweeter and more fragrant than any wine she had ever tasted.
The Witch finished one glass and wanted another, her cheeks slightly flushed.
"This is so delicious, like a drink, but it also has a wine taste!"
Wanda exclaimed, her eyes wide.
And she felt like her whole body had been cleansed, all her aches and pains disappearing.
"Mr. Arthur, can I try some?"
Lorna, seeing her sister drinking so happily, also came closer, asking cautiously.
She had also smelled that strong wine aroma just now.
"No, you're still young, you can't drink alcohol."
Wanda directly refused; drinking under the age of twenty-one was illegal.
"I want to try!"
But Gwen had already quietly walked over, picked up the glass, and drank it down.
After only a few sips, her face turned red, her cheeks felt hot, and her head began to spin.
"Don't drink anymore!"
Arthur quickly snatched the glass from Gwen's hand.
Although this wine could enhance physical fitness, he had originally intended for it to be absorbed through soaking in the hot spring.
"Arthur, give me another sip! Just a tiny sip!"
Gwen swayed and lunged towards Arthur, her soft body pressing against him.
Arthur almost lost his balance.
"Enough!"
Wanda glared at Arthur and quickly pulled Gwen away, pouring her a cup of tea to help her calm down.
She had clearly seen that familiar expression on Arthur's face just now; she didn't need to think twice to know what he was plotting.
"But I still want to drink!"
Chapter 77 I'm Not Doing This For Him
Gwen's face flushed, her eyes darted around, and she directly pounced to snatch the wine pot.
Arthur shook his head helplessly, and with a snap of his fingers, he put the wine pot into the system.
"Why is it gone? Arthur, you tricked me with magic! Hurry and teach me magic!"
Gwen suddenly remembered that Arthur had said he would teach her.
"Next time, I'll show you something else first."
Arthur's lips curved slightly, and with a flick of his finger, a beam of light shot into the air and exploded, turning into a firework that spelled out Gwen's likeness. "What about mine?"
Wanda pouted and asked unhappily.
"Alright, alright, you get one too."
Arthur also released one for Wanda.
Lorna watched this scene, wanting to speak but hesitating; she also wanted one but found it hard to ask.
She could only watch longingly, her small fingers constantly fidgeting.
"Arthur, I'm hungry. Can you get me something good to eat?"
Wanda rubbed her flat stomach and asked pitifully.
"Okay, I'll go out and get some now."
Arthur also wanted to eat, so he got up and went out.
Arthur pushed open the door wearing a bath towel, and the next second he saw a familiar Shadow.
His eyes turned cold, and he instantly pounced, pressing the person against the wall.
"Yelena, are you following me?"
The one he was holding was indeed Yelena.
"I didn't, don't accuse me!"
Yelena shook her head innocently; she wasn't an idiot.
After being warned by Arthur last time, she never thought of following him.
"Then what are you doing here?"
Arthur asked with a frown.
Yelena didn't intend to hide it from him and directly told the truth.
She was here to investigate a strange matter and had no idea Arthur was also here.
Arthur sensed that she wasn't lying, but his gaze involuntarily dropped, staring at Yelena's sexy swimsuit.
This design left key areas exposed, making it particularly alluring.
Yelena also noticed his gaze, but she was quickly captivated by Arthur's abdominal muscles.
This guy has such a good physique!
"Arthur, what's wrong?"
Wanda and Gwen heard the commotion, ran out in their bathrobes, and happened to see this scene.
Damn it!
Only half a minute had passed.
This scoundrel had hooked up with another one!

"Hmm?!"
Arthur was stunned for a moment, and only then did he realize his posture was a bit ambiguous.
When he rushed over, he hadn't paid much attention, only thinking that this way it would be less likely for others to discover them.
Yes, this was absolutely his true thought; he definitely wasn't trying to see if Yelena's waist was thin.
After he let go, he tried to put his hands in his pockets as if nothing had happened, but realized the bathrobe had no pockets at all.
"My dear Arthur, you look very happy?"
Wanda forced a smile, her expression stiff as she gritted her teeth and spoke.
Although her smile seemed natural, Arthur could still feel the killing intent emanating from her.
"No, you misunderstood!"
After Arthur finished speaking, he immediately stood next to Wanda and introduced, "This is Yelena; she's here to investigate a new case."
Yelena shook her head helplessly after hearing this, a meaningful smile appearing on the corner of her lips as her gaze swept over Arthur's faintly visible chest muscles.
Just now, she had actually felt a little reluctant to leave. It would probably be quite interesting to have something happen with such a strong man.
Moreover, she did indeed feel the strong scent of hormones emanating from Arthur.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but gently bite her lip.
But when Wanda saw this action, her expression clearly changed, and her eyes showed vigilance.
It had to be said, although this woman wasn't as beautiful as her, who knew if Arthur would find wild flowers more fragrant?
And this wild flower really had some charm; just that lip-biting action made people want to look twice.
"So it's you!"
Gwen also recognized Yelena, turned to Arthur, and said, "I thought you had other women you hadn't told us about."
They had cooperated before, so Gwen was quite familiar with Yelena.
"You know each other?"
Wanda had just thought Arthur was deceiving them, but she hadn't expected Gwen to actually know this person. It seemed she really might be here on a mission.
However, even so, she didn't relax her guard. Instead, she quietly pulled Arthur's arm, as if to assert her claim.
Yelena naturally saw this scene, spread her hands helplessly, and smiled.
It seemed her little gesture just now had made others unhappy.
"Do you want to come in and soak in the hot spring together?"
Gwen walked over and took Yelena's hand.
She hadn't seen Yelena for a long time, and now that she saw her, she naturally wanted to invite her in.
Yelena originally wanted to refuse, but after glancing at Arthur, she inexplicably nodded.
She didn't know if it was subconscious or what, but she always felt as if she could gain something special from him.
After all, the more she understood Arthur, the more attracted she was to such a strong man.
Although she knew Gwen and Arthur's relationship was also unusual, she still had some different thoughts in her heart.
Inside the private room.
"Phew, so comfortable!"
Yelena soaked in the hot spring. As an Agent, she could keenly sense that the hot spring here was very different from other places.
Not only did it have a fruity and wine aroma, but her whole body felt much more relaxed.
"Mr. Arthur."
Yelena noticed Arthur, who was looking at the scenery not far away, and cautiously moved closer.
"What's wrong?"
Arthur looked at Yelena, who was sitting opposite him, with confusion.
The next second, his eyes changed; he clearly felt something slide across his leg.
When he saw Yelena's expression, he immediately understood.
Because the Water in the hot spring was constantly being replaced, it kept churning, and with the minerals, it looked a bit cloudy.
But this could fool others, not him.
This person actually deliberately provoked his emotions in front of everyone.
He didn't know if Wanda sensed something, but she directly sat next to Arthur.
"Dear, what are you two talking about?"
Wanda smiled through gritted teeth, her right hand gently leaning against Arthur's waist.
Although she wasn't sure what had just happened, she vaguely felt something was wrong.
And that little hussy's expression just now was clearly off; one could sense from her emotions that Yelena seemed a bit excited.
"Nothing, just wondering if we should go to dinner."
Arthur's mouth twitched. Of course, he didn't dare say that Yelena had touched him with her toes just now.
If Wanda knew, the Water in this pool wouldn't be pink, but blood red.
He didn't think Wanda was incapable of doing it; this whole family's mental state was quite fragile.
"Hmm, I was indeed hungry just now, so I want to eat."
Yelena didn't say it aloud, just smiled meaningfully.
Then she stood up, revealing her firm and beautiful figure from exercise, and walked up.
Arthur was stunned, it was truly too alluring.
"Does it look good?"
Wanda was so angry she couldn't breathe; that gaze was too lewd!
"No."
Arthur absolutely couldn't admit it and quickly explained, "I was just thinking about what to eat for dinner!"
After explaining, he barely managed to convince Wandathat he hadn't looked at all.
It was almost time, so Arthur simply took everyone to the hot spring resort's banquet hall.
Although the dishes here weren't as delicious as what Arthur cooked, there were many special dishes, such as fruit puree hot spring eggs.
The taste was average, but the main appeal was the novelty.
"Thank you all for your hospitality. I have something to attend to now, so I'll be leaving first."
After eating and drinking, Yelena stood up and smiled as she thanked them.
She did want to spend more time with Arthur, but she hadn't forgotten that she had a mission this time.
"Then you go ahead."
Arthur smiled and waved goodbye to her.
"Mr. Arthur, I'll go put away the plates."
At this moment, Lorna suddenly stood up, her eyes devoid of emotion.
"No need, the waiter will collect them later."
Arthur asked with confusion, because they were distinguished guests, and this wasn't the main hall.
There was no need to specifically put away the plates.
"It's okay, I'm used to it."
After Lorna finished speaking, Arthur could only nod.
"Lorna is truly a good child."
Wanda watched Lorna leave, a relieved smile on her face.
She also noticed that her sister usually didn't talk much, and if it wasn't someone she was familiar with, she would hardly speak on her own initiative.
And normally, she basically always followed Arthur, or more accurately, liked to sit where she could see him.
It should be that after coming out from HYDRA, she developed a deep dependence on Arthur, which is why she became like this.
And outside the corridor, Yelena was about to leave when she suddenly heard footsteps behind her and subconsciously turned her head.
Buzz!
Before she could react, a green light with immense power slammed her against the wall.
She was lifted high into the air, and panic involuntarily appeared in her eyes.
Lorna's hands glowed green, and she walked step by step towards her with a cold expression.
"I'm warning you, stay away from Mr. Arthur from now on. Mr. Arthur belongs to my sister!"
Lorna's face was grim, her tone icy, warning her word by word.
The strength in her hands continuously increased, and her eyes were full of killing intent.
If anyone dared to snatch Mr. Arthur, she wouldn't mind getting rid of them.
In fact, she had seen everything just now, but she had never intended to directly make a move.
Yelena was pressed by this force, a painful expression on her face.
She never expected this seemingly quiet little girl to suddenly attack.
Moreover, her methods were completely different from the information they had collected from the underground laboratory.
Because the Red Room's data showed that this child named Lorna could only control very light metals.
But no one expected that she could actually lift her up directly.
"Speak, or you won't leave!"
Lorna stared at Yelena, her eyes growing increasingly impatient.
"Okay, I won't try to snatch your sister's Arthur."
Yelena felt the other party's strong killing intent and immediately nodded repeatedly.
She had no choice now; even if she was unwilling, she had to agree.
After all, she didn't believe she could deal with such a powerful ability user in this situation.
"That's for the best."
Lorna released her hand, and Yelena fell to the ground.
She turned around without hesitation, and the moment she opened the private room door,
Her originally grim expression instantly turned into a smile: "Mr. Arthur, I'm back!"
The speed of this transformation was so fast that one couldn't tell she had just been so gloomy.
"You're back! Come sit here, watch me perform some interesting magic for you!"
Arthur waved to Lorna, telling her to come over quickly.
"Mmm!"
Lorna smiled happily and quickly walked to Arthur's side.
"I'll perform a play for you!"
Arthur waved his hand, and the Water in the nearby pool turned into a thin stream and flew onto the table.
This stream of Water slowly formed several small figures, and the facial features of these figures were surprisingly clear.
"Isn't that Thor and Loki?"
With just one glance, Wanda recognized them.
She never expected Arthur to choose these two characters for his illusion.
The illusion of Thor was seen embracing Loki, who was lying on the ground.
"I am actually a very hypocritical and cunning person..."
Loki's voice carried a hint of struggle, his eyes complex as he stared at Thor.
"No, you believe I will tell father of your bravery."
Thor's expression was pained, and his voice kept trembling.
"No... I'm not doing it for him..."
The two continued to repeat the emotional lines over and over.
It had to be said, this scene captivated all three of them.
Especially Wanda, whose lips unconsciously curved upwards.
[Ding! Your performance has won a group of loyal audience members!]
[Reward: Ice Element Power!]
"There's even a reward for this?"
Arthur muttered in his heart, an expression of disbelief on his face.
He had never thought that such a thing would also have a reward.
Although he had participated in many dangerous activities before, such as mountain climbing.
But it was the first time he encountered something where performing a play for people could also earn a reward, and he was still a bit surprised.
Chapter 78 It's up to you
"Looks like I'm really lucky today, getting two rewards at once!"
Arthur couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, and this wasn't just about money.
One could continuously pour out wine and strengthen the body;
The other, the power of Ice Element, was even more formidable.
He had to admit, today was truly a lucky day.
The power of Ice Element allowed one to control ice, freezing everything, and after mastering it, one could even freeze molecular structures.
This was similar to an Omega-level Iceman.
More importantly, this ability could also produce extremely powerful effects.
It was even said to be able to freeze time.
Although he also possessed the power of Fire Element, the directions of their effects were completely different.
"Why are you suddenly so happy? Is there something good happening?"
Wanda sensed Arthur's mood suddenly improving greatly and couldn't help but glance at him more.
Because Arthur's emotions usually fluctuated very little; apart from certain matters, he was always very calm.
"Because you all enjoyed my performance, I feel especially honored."
Arthur smiled and stroked Wanda's face.
It had to be said, the feeling was as soft and delicate as ever.
His gaze inadvertently drifted downwards; since it was a private space, her bathrobe wasn't worn very tightly.
Seeing Wanda's impressive figure, Arthur felt somewhat parched for a moment.
"It's about time; we should head back."
Arthur waved his hand, and the Water returned to its original position.
"Going back so soon? It's only a little past seven."
Gwen Lorna 803 was a bit reluctant.
They hadn't played enough and had originally wanted to come back for another hot spring soak after eating.
"You, you really are…"
Wanda knew what Arthur was thinking just by looking at his eyes.
She secretly pinched Arthur's thigh hard under the table.
This guy really just wanted to… after eating his fill.
His mind was never normal for a day.
But because of Arthur's request, they could only go back.
Although the hot spring resort had accommodation, Arthur still insisted on returning to the Villa.
After all, hot spring resorts were mostly low-rise buildings, and most were made of wood.
So sounds carried especially clearly, and he didn't want anyone listening in through the walls.
After everyone returned to the Villa, it was already 9:30 PM, so they all went back to their rooms to sleep. Although they went to bed early, soaking in the hot spring all evening was quite tiring.
The Villa was large, and everyone had their own room, even Wanda had a room to herself.
Late at night, the door gently opened, and a Shadow quickly slipped in.
"Arthur, Gwen is right next door!"
Wanda immediately recognized Arthur and quickly tried to push him away, because Gwen was right next door.
"What are you afraid of? We won't be discovered."
Arthur didn't take it seriously at all; this wasn't the first time, so what was there to be afraid of?
Meanwhile, Gwen next door was drowsily about to fall asleep when she suddenly heard movement from next door.
Strange?
There was panting.
Was Wanda still exercising so late?
And why did that sound seem so familiar, like she had heard it at Arthur's place before?
…
The next morning.
At the dining table, Wanda emerged with a rosy complexion, but her eyes showed fatigue.
Gwen wasn't much better; she had been kept awake all night by strange sounds.
"Gwen, Sister, what happened to you two last night?"
Lorna looked puzzled; she had gone to bed early last night, so why did the two of them look so tired?
"Wanda, were you exercising all night last night? You kept me awake!"
Gwen couldn't help but complain, saying that Wanda was exercising at night and she hadn't slept well all night.
And the sound even had a rhythm, which was even more annoying.
Arthur watched them with a mischievous smile from the side.
Wanda glared at him fiercely and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'll be more careful in the future."
"Knock, knock, knock—"
While they were having breakfast, there was a knock at the door.
"Who is it so early in the morning…"
Arthur stood up to open the door.
After opening the door, he saw a bald man and a woman with an outstanding demeanor.
"I am Nick Fury."
Nick Fury was startled to see a young man open the door and subconsciously asked, "Does Wanda Maximoff live here?"
He had received news yesterday that Wanda was in Westview.
But why was a man opening the door?!
"Wanda, a bald man is looking for you."
Arthur turned back to the dining table with an indifferent expression, thinking that this bald man was probably here to give Wanda another mission.
After only two days of rest, this guy was already showing up again.
Hearing this, Nick Fury's mouth twitched slightly.
He was the former Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., who dared call him bald!
He watched Arthur leave with a speechless expression, complaining silently in his heart.
"A bald man is looking for me?"
Wanda stood up, muttering softly as she walked.
Where did a bald man come from? Could it be a fan noticed her?
"It's me."
Nick Fury stared at Wanda with a grim expression, his already dark face becoming even more somber.
"Director?!"
Wanda was stunned to see Nick Fury appear.
She hadn't expected him to show up here, and Agent Hillhad come along too.
"Long time no see, Wanda."
Nick Fury smiled.
"Come in."
Wanda invited them into the living room.
She knew in her heart that this matter must be related to classified information.
As soon as he entered the house, Nick Fury was stunned, because he saw Gwen and Lorna.
S.H.I.E.L.D. had records of these two people long ago, and he remembered them very clearly, but he hadn't expected them to appear here together.
One was a Mutant who had been captured by HYDRA, and the other was Ghost Spider; these two people who should not have met were actually sitting together.
He completely couldn't understand what was going on, and Gwen and Lorna were also laughing and talking with the man who opened the door, their relationship seemed quite intimate.
Adding Wanda, there were suddenly three super-powered individuals in the house.
He couldn't help but glance at Arthur again, unable to understand why these three people were all mixed up with an ordinary person.
At the same time, the few of them had just finished breakfast.
After sitting on the sofa, Wanda immediately introduced Arthur and the others.
"This is my good friend Arthur, Gwen is my friend, and this is my younger sister Lorna!"
The reason she introduced them was to let Nick Fury know that their relationship was very good.
Otherwise, they would have to find a place to talk privately.
After all, much of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s information was very secretive.
"Hello everyone."
Nick Fury simply greeted them; since they were Wanda's friends, he didn't pay too much attention.
"Director, are you here to see me about something?"
Wanda looked at Nick Fury's serious expression and asked proactively.
Running so far, she wouldn't believe it if it wasn't a big deal.
What's more, even Agent Hill had come.
"Hill."
Nick Fury's expression was serious, and he straightened up, looking at Hill beside him.
Hill nodded, took out a tablet computer and a stack of documents from her bag.
After opening the screen, it displayed a strange scene.
Some evil people were gathered in a circle, chanting indistinct words.
Because the light was dim, it was not very clear, and only a flash of the screen could be seen, suddenly turning to Black.
"What's going on?"
Wanda frowned, looking at this strange ritual.
It didn't look right no matter how she looked at it!
Although it was through a screen, she felt something was particularly wrong.
Even the patterns drawn on the ground seemed to be drawn with blood.
"We recently found out that some evil forces are performing some kind of ritual related to supernatural phenomena, which has also led to many people disappearing."
Hill said, taking out documents from a drawer and handing them to Wanda opposite her.
Wanda opened the documents, glanced at them roughly, and her expression became increasingly solemn.
Because the names of the missing persons were clearly listed on them.
And there were many people, the documents were piled thick.
"We came to you this time hoping you can help us solve this case together."
Nick Fury stated the purpose of their visit.
This matter was too strange; they found almost no clues.
Although there was a video, the content filmed was too little.
The other party seemed to be able to detect cameras, always easily avoiding their surveillance.
That's why they specifically sought Wanda's help.
The reason they didn't look for other Avengers members was because this matter was too bizarre.
If some magic means could be used, the effect would be better, which is why they sought Wanda!
At the same time, Arthur, who was beside them, thoughtfully stroked his chin, looking at Nick and Hill.
Because yesterday when Yelena went on a mission, she also roughly mentioned that this might be a spiritual event.
In other words, Yelena should also be investigating this matter!
"I…"
Wanda's face showed hesitation.
If it were before, she would definitely agree immediately.
But she had only just gotten together with Arthur not long ago, and hadn't had a good rest yet, and now she had to go out on a mission again.
She was somewhat unwilling in her heart.
"I know it's rare for you to get a rest, but we really need your help now."
"Although other Avengers are also free, their abilities and magic are no match for yours in this area."
"And some people are busy and can't leave at all."
Nick Fury sincerely requested Wanda's help.
Moreover, this time, the matter could not be solved by technology or brute force.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have specifically come to find Wanda.
"I…"
Wanda hesitated for a long time, then finally sighed and reluctantly agreed, "I can go with you, but I have to bring Arthur!"
Anyway, if she went, she couldn't just leave Arthur alone.
If this guy wasn't watched, he would definitely go and provoke women again, even if Gwen watched him, it would be useless.
The little girl was too soft-hearted; Arthur might just coax her a bit and she'd give in.
Besides, this evil thing sounded like it was related to magic, so bringing Arthur was most suitable.
After all, Arthur was a great Magician; although she also knew a bit of magic, it was far inferior to Arthur's.
If they could get it done earlier, they could rest earlier.
"Bring him?"
Nick Fury turned his gaze to Arthur, frowning: "That's not very suitable, is it? This might make the mission more troublesome."
In Nick Fury's view, Arthur was nothing more than an obstacle.
Even if he was skilled, he wouldn't be of much use in this situation.
What was worse, he might even distract Wanda into taking care of him.
"If I don't bring Arthur, I won't do this mission, find someone else!"
"And Arthur is my good luck, I will never agree to not bring him!"
Wanda's tone carried obvious anger.
She understood immediately that Nick Fury simply regarded Arthur as a burden.
Otherwise, why would he say such a thing?
Now, in Wanda's heart, Arthur was the most important person, and no one was allowed to belittle him!
Nick Fury himself hadn't expected Wanda to be so emotional,
To the point that her tone of voice became particularly stern.
"Sigh… Then let it be as you wish."
Nick Fury had no other choice.
If Wanda really didn't do it, he really had no way.
He knew that he couldn't solve this problem himself.
So they could only rely on Wanda to complete the mission.
"Then let's meet tonight."
Nick Fury didn't linger and prepared to leave.
The reason they didn't set off immediately was because these monsters only appeared at night.
So they could only wait until night to find clues.
"Okay!"
Wanda nodded in agreement directly.
Just as Nick Fury was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and turned back, saying:
"Put the vacation aside for now; be sure to prepare in advance!"
Chapter 79 I'll Leave It to You
These monsters were more complex than they had imagined.
So, the compiled data had to be carefully studied.
Wanda casually agreed.
After getting into the black SUV outside, Nick Fury turned to Hill and asked,
"How is it?"
"I just checked Arthur's information in our database."
"This person has extensive records; not only has he attempted many extreme sports, but he has also won numerous awards."
"He is also a generous philanthropist and a major shareholder of Stark Group."
"Besides that, he has many other titles. From a certain perspective, he can be considered a genius."
Hill couldn't help but say, looking at the information on the tablet.
"But no matter how powerful he is, he is still just an ordinary person after all."
Nick Fury didn't care about Arthur.
Such people, though rare, were not nonexistent.
Compared to those in the Avengers, he was not worth mentioning at all.
Even Hill could easily handle such ordinary people.
"So what should we do?"
Hill hesitated for a moment before asking.
After all, from Wanda's attitude just now, Arthur seemed quite important to her.
"Just find a guy to keep an eye on him."
Nick Fury waved his hand, saying casually.
As long as this guy wouldn't get into trouble, that was fine.
Inside the Villa.
"My lovely little Witch is truly kind-hearted, still thinking about the mission at a time like this." Arthur hugged Wanda from behind, playfully whispering in her ear.
"Don't make fun of me, it's not funny at all!"
Wanda turned her head, pouting, and complained discontentedly.
"How is it not funny? I think a Witch with a strong sense of justice is especially charming."
Arthur kissed Wanda's cheek, saying gently.
Actually, he didn't care about any mission.
There was nothing in the Nine Realms that could truly threaten his existence now.
In his opinion, Wanda's mission was like a vacation.
Anyway, it was all for fun, and maybe he could even teach her some experience.
Although Wanda's strength was already very strong, there were still many people more powerful than her.
Moreover, her Chaos Magic couldn't be achieved by just practicing.
It also required actual combat, and he could protect her from the side.
"Really?"
Wanda's face showed a happy expression.
Because she rarely had time to spend with Arthur, she always felt a little guilty.
"Of course, this is to protect others!"
Arthur nodded seriously.
Although he was relatively lazy and didn't plan to protect the World.
But someone had to do these things in this World.
He could choose not to do it, but he would not ridicule those who worked hard.
Because there were always people silently working hard.
"Wanda, I want to go too."
At this moment, Gwen unhappily came over.
She had originally hoped to be taken along for the operation.
She didn't expect that they weren't even mentioned.
"Gwen, it's not that I don't want to take you, it's that there are too many people, and I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of everyone."
Wanda had actually considered whether to bring Gwenand Lorna, but they were not very familiar with magic.
"But I want to go too, I absolutely won't be a burden!"
Gwen pulled Wanda's hand, pleading persistently, and looked pitifully at Arthur: "I will definitely be obedient, and nothing will happen!"
"Wanda, why don't we take them along? Otherwise, they'll be bored at home."
Arthur looked at Wanda hesitantly.
After all, he and Nick Fury weren't very familiar, so Wandahad to make the decision.
Seeing Gwen and Lorna's pleading faces, Wanda could only helplessly nod in the end.
"That's great!"
Seeing Wanda agree, Gwen and Lorna shouted excitedly.
"It's not evening yet, why don't we play Ludo?"
Arthur suggested playing a game together, Just right four people.
Ludo was actually quite boring.
But playing with three top-tier beauties made the fun completely different.
The winner got a reward, and the loser got a penalty.
And Arthur almost always won every time.
They played until noon.
In the afternoon, they went to Westview's most famous restaurant for a meal, then went to Peach Blossom Garden for a stroll and took many photos.
Gwen and Lorna were particularly boisterous and extremely happy.
Wanda almost completely forgot about the mission.
Until evening, the sky slowly darkened.
Nick Fury and Hill, along with a few Agents, waited behind the agreed-upon alley.
Nick Fury checked his watch; no one had arrived yet.
"Did something happen?"
When they came over, those bad guys might have noticed them too.
Just as Nick Fury hesitated whether to have Hill make a call (to find Li Zhao), Wanda's voice came from not far away.
"Director Fury."
Four people were seen walking from the end of the alley.
Nick Fury was about to scold Wanda for being late, but upon seeing the other three, his face immediately darkened.
"Wanda, what's going on? Why did everyone come?"
Nick Fury gritted his teeth, asking word by word.
They simply didn't have enough manpower to take care of these people right now.
This was clearly adding trouble for themselves.
Gwen could barely be considered a helper, but Arthur and Lorna...
These two had almost zero combat power.
"Director, I want to bring them along!"
Wanda took a deep breath, saying without backing down.
She had already agreed!
"Wanda, you doing this..."
Nick Fury originally wanted to scold her, but he glanced at the time and finally sighed: "Just tell them to be careful!"
Time was pressing now; there was no time to argue with Wanda over these trivial matters.
If something really happened, they could only blame their bad luck.
"By the way, did you see the information today?"
Nick Fury asked about this matter.
Because the content inside was related to the upcoming mission.
"...I went out to play today..."
Wanda subconsciously blurted out.
Nick Fury was stunned: "You were playing outside all day today?"
Hearing this, he was immediately furious.
"Director, the mission is important!"
Seeing Nick Fury about to get angry, Hill quickly stopped him, then explained tonight's mission: "We detected energy fluctuations at the Kree couple's house, so we're going to stake out there tonight!"
Because there were too many people, everyone took three cars.
In the car, Nick Fury sternly told Hill: "Make sure to keep a close eye on that guy named Arthur tonight!"
Wanda was very special; he couldn't let anything happen to her.
Westview, outside the detached Villa area.
Three cars slowly stopped outside.
"This is it!"
Nick Fury got out of the car and carefully observed the Villa, his hand unconsciously reaching for the weapon at his waist.
"Two days ago, we detected abnormal energy fluctuations here!"
Hill immediately stepped aside and began to explain the situation.
Other Agents also quickly stood in front of Arthur and the others, as their main task this time was to protect Arthurand them.
"Mhm."
Wanda nodded calmly, but her gaze fell on Arthur beside her.
In this situation, she definitely had to ask Arthur's opinion first, as he knew the situation inside best.
"No big problem, let's go in."
Arthur said in a steady tone.
He had already sensed the situation inside the house when he got out of the car.
It was an invisible black mist surrounding the entire Villa, swirling around it like dark clouds.
But with the naked eye, no abnormality could be seen.
It was certain that this family had indeed encountered trouble.
Nick Fury, who was beside them, heard Arthur's words and couldn't help but frown.
He didn't expect Wanda to trust an ordinary person so much.
However, since they were already here, there was no other choice.
Knock, knock, knock...
Nick Fury walked to the stairs and cautiously knocked on the door.
Before figuring out the situation, he absolutely couldn't let his guard down.
Soon, the Villa door opened, and a middle-aged couple stood at the entrance.
Their faces were pale, and their expressions were tired.
"Agent Fury."
Because they had been notified in advance, the Kree couple had been waiting for them.
Seeing their arrival, the couple's expressions visibly relaxed somewhat.
"Let me introduce you, this is Wanda."
Nick Fury turned sideways to introduce Wanda, who was wearing deep red clothes, behind him.
"You are Fei Hong Nu Wu Wanda!"
As soon as the Kree couple saw Wanda, their faces immediately showed relief.
They knew that this was a superhero from the Avengers; with her here, nothing should happen.
Wanda quickly noticed that Nick Fury hadn't introduced Arthur and the others.
But she didn't show it, just frowned slightly. She could tell that Nick Fury didn't take Arthur and the others seriously at all.
"Please come in!"
The Kree couple quickly opened the door, inviting everyone into the house.
Arthur carefully surveyed the house as soon as he entered.
It had to be said that the interior decoration of this detached Villa was very different from other places.
The decor here was very retro, even a bit Native American in style.
The floor was covered with a carpet made of animal furs, and a huge elk skull hung on a shelf.
Not far away, various animal specimens were displayed, suggesting that the Kree couple usually enjoyed hunting.
The books casually placed on the table were all about hunting techniques.
"Kree couple, please tell us in more detail what exactly happened?"
After Nick Fury sat down, he immediately asked about the current situation.
Although they had told him once before, the situation might have changed over time.
"Alas, it's like this..."
The two recounted the recent events, one after another.
Starting two days ago, every time it was almost time for bed, they would hear someone whispering.
Those voices sounded like some kind of unheard-of spell, but because the voices were intermittent and very faint, they couldn't hear what was being said specifically.
And it wasn't just the two of them who could hear it; even their daughter could clearly hear these whispers.
They asked their daughter, and she said that every night someone whispered in her ear, telling her to leave.
Because of this, they became increasingly frightened.
Not only because of their daughter's situation, but also because the voices they heard every night became clearer, as if they were getting closer to them.
After saying all this, the couple trembled with fear, their eyes full of terror.
If it weren't for their daughter, they would have fled long ago!
But now they had no choice but to grit their teeth and persevere.
"You don't have to worry, I will protect you!"
Wanda said with a serious expression and a calm tone.
It had to be said that this matter was indeed very strange, but she was more inclined to believe that it was caused by magic, because there were many terrifying spells in black magic.
However, until it was clear, the exact reason was unknown.
"Then we'll leave it to you!"
Hearing this, the couple looked as if they had seen their savior; their biggest concern was their daughter's safety.
"Where is your daughter? I want to go see her."
Wanda made a request, because the problem should be with their daughter.
Only she could clearly hear what the other party was saying, so they had to start with her.
"No problem, my daughter is on the second floor!"
The Kree couple quickly led everyone to the second floor.
Arriving in front of a room door, they took a deep breath and slowly pushed the door open.
On the white bed in the center of the room lay a pale little girl.
Although the room was decorated very warmly, at this moment, it gave off a chill.
Chapter 80 Let's go there and take a look
The little girl, Sarah, lay on the bed, looking like a corpse about to be buried.
"Sarah hasn't been sleeping well these past few days, and her health has deteriorated greatly."
Her mother hurried to her daughter's side, looking at her lying on the bed with a worried expression.
During this time, Sarah had been having nightmares and often woke up in the middle of the night.
"!"
Just then, Sarah, who was sleeping, suddenly opened her eyes and sat up: "It's here!"
The sudden movement almost startled everyone around her.
"What's wrong?"
Wanda walked over to the little girl with a smile and gently comforted her.
Under Wanda's soothing, Sarah groggily closed her eyes again and lay back down on the bed.
"What's going on?"
The lady asked anxiously, why did she lie down again so suddenly?
"Don't worry, Sarah probably woke up just now because she was startled for too long. I used magic to let her rest properly."
Wanda carefully tucked Sarah in and said, "She should be able to get a good night's sleep tonight."
Hearing Wanda's words, Mr. and Mrs. Scree were slightly relieved. They could only place their hope in Wanda now.
"Alright, you two go out first. The energy fluctuations are mainly concentrated in the room next to Sarah's."
Nick Fury took the initiative to speak, as Sarah had been moved to the next room because the energy fluctuations had previously appeared in her room.
After Mr. and Mrs. Scree left, he had the relevant personnel bring in the equipment and began to inspect the room's structure.
"What do you think of the current situation?"
Nick Fury looked at Wanda. Currently, they didn't have many clues and could only hope that she might provide some useful information.
"Just now, I felt that Sarah's emotions were very bad; something was affecting her inner self."
Wanda gritted her teeth, expressing her thoughts with a puzzled expression.
That was all she could sense.
"It's an evil spirit."
Arthur, who was standing nearby, said calmly, "And it came from Sarah."
"An evil spirit?"
Nick Fury and Hill were both momentarily stunned by this statement.
"Are you kidding me?"
Hill looked at Arthur with a strange expression.
An evil spirit? Isn't that something from legends?
Although there were many rumors about evil spirits in this World, she preferred to explain everything using scientific methods.
"Mr. Arthur, we hope you don't mislead us!"
Nick Fury stared at Arthur with an unpleasant expression.
It was already troublesome enough to bring him along. This guy had acted as if he knew everything from the start, simply causing trouble and affecting everyone's mood.
"Director, Arthur wouldn't say that without reason."
At this moment, Wanda did not continue to follow Nick Fury's lead.
She believed there must be a reason for Arthur's words.
Facing Nick Fury's questioning, Arthur's face showed no expression.
They were, after all, not of the same kind, and he did not want to waste words on these people.
Talking to fools was purely a waste of time. He always felt that communicating with foolish people would only make the conversation shallow and fall into their rhythm.
"The instrument is reacting!"
Just then, one of them shouted urgently.
Everyone immediately turned their attention to the instrument.
The instrument was shaking non-stop, even starting to hum.
At the same time, the light outside the window became increasingly dim, as if covered by a thin mist.
"No! The energy fluctuation isn't here, it's next door!"
Nick Fury immediately noticed the anomaly!
And next door was Sarah's room.
This meant that all of this was clearly directed at Sarah. At this instant, Nick Fury and Hill instinctively looked at Arthur.
"What are you looking at?"
Arthur shrugged, a hint of helplessness in his tone: "You should go check on Sarah next door!"
Hearing this, Nick Fury finally realized that their attention should indeed be on Sarah now.
They immediately rushed to the next room.
But as soon as they opened the door, they saw a chilling scene.
Sarah, dressed in a white dress, was pulling open the window.
The wind blowing in from outside the window ruffled her dress.
"Don't!"
As soon as Nick Fury shouted, Sarah suddenly jumped out.
This startled everyone, and they immediately ran to the window to look down.
Sarah, after jumping down, was unharmed and ran quickly into the distance.
The others didn't care about anything else and immediately chased after her.
After all, no matter what, they couldn't let the little girl get hurt now.
Although the little girl ran very fast, it was nothing to them.
However, a surprising scene appeared.
Sarah was running with her eyes closed, as if sleepwalking.
But her speed was much faster than sleepwalking.
"Maybe the evil spirit is making her sleepwalk."
As he ran, Arthur spoke, looking relaxed and observing Sarah with interest.
"Should I tie her up with a web?"
Gwen looked at Sarah and asked with a frown.
After all, controlling a little girl was simply too easy.
"Don't rush, I don't think this is that simple. Let's follow her first."
Nick Fury shook his head, rejecting Gwen's suggestion.
His intuition told him that the girl's destination was very clear.
Because from then until now, Sarah had not deviated from her direction.
This meant that she must be going somewhere.
The reason he was so sure was that if she were truly sleepwalking with her eyes closed, she definitely wouldn't be able to avoid obstacles.
From then until now, she had not bumped into any obstacles.
This indicated that things were far more complex than imagined.
They followed Sarah to the edge of the woods outside Westview.
Sarah moved swiftly, passing directly through the woods and arriving in front of a house.
It was a dilapidated church.
After reaching this point, Sarah stopped running, her expression dazed as she pushed open the church door and slowly walked inside.
"Don't rush in yet, there's something wrong with this church."
As everyone prepared to rush in, Arthur suddenly stopped them.
He had already sensed that the atmosphere here was off, with a strange feeling.
He felt that the church was enveloped in a thick Shadow, and there were unseen figures wandering around.
Although everyone was anxious, Nick Fury, for once, nodded and told them to stop.
He looked at Hill next to him, signaling her to scan the area.
"Nothing."
Hill put down her equipment, frowning and shaking her head.
"Believe it or not."
Arthur spread his hands, making a gesture to invite them in: "If you don't believe me, go see for yourself!"
"Wanda, what do you think? Should we go in now?"
Nick Fury asked hesitantly.
Only Wanda could make the decision now.
"I trust Arthur."
Wanda said, looking directly at Arthur.
"Boss, if we don't catch up, Sarah might get away."
An Agent behind Nick Fury reminded him with a frown.
"Never mind, let's just follow her first!"
Nick Fury gritted his teeth and said, there was no time to hesitate now!
"I advise you not to go in."
Arthur saw Nick Fury about to lead his people in and spoke up to warn him.
"When did the World's strongest Super Agent need to listen to a young man's advice?"
Nick Fury threw out this remark and led his people stealthily towards the church.
Arthur, however, remained calm, his hands in his pockets, staying put.
Seeing Arthur like this, Wanda, Gwen, and Lorna also chose to stay behind.
"It doesn't look like anything is wrong."
Nick Fury walked into the churchyard, getting closer and closer to the main door, and nothing unusual happened.
The instrument readings were also normal, so he breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that everything was fine.
[Beep beep beep!]
However, just then, the instrument suddenly emitted a piercing sound.
"Not good!"
Nick Fury and Hill saw the instrument fluctuate and immediately felt that something was wrong.
Just then, in the graveyard outside the church, a dozen eerie Shadows suddenly crawled out and lunged at Nick Furyand the others like mad.
These Shadows were very strange, reaching them in the blink of an eye.
"Damn it, quiet! Don't disturb what's inside!"
Nick Fury lowered his voice and quickly drew his weapon.
After all, they didn't know what the situation was inside the church, and making noise might alert the enemies within.
In the end, they barely managed to repel these Shadows with all their might, their clothes nearly torn to shreds.
Arthur walked over, clapping: "As expected of Super Agents."
"Attack!"
Nick Fury never expected that this kid would actually guess correctly.
Although he had taken a bit of a gamble, he had only followed in after seeing Sarah enter safely.
Who would have thought that before even entering the door, they would encounter such strange things.
He looked back at the Shadows on the ground and found that they were humanoid monsters.
Their faces and bodies looked like dried meat, and if they hadn't discovered the weakness was in their heads, they would have been truly difficult to deal with.
"Stop making sarcastic remarks here. I've stepped in the trap, now we need to get in there quickly and see!"
Nick Fury didn't want to come all this way and end up with nothing.
And Sarah was still inside; if they delayed any longer, she might already be gone.
"Arthur already warned you, but you insisted on going in like this!"
Gwen's face showed dissatisfaction.
Even if she didn't understand magic, she could tell that this was clearly something that would be triggered upon entering.
Perhaps there were other ways to avoid these monsters.
Nick Fury originally wanted to retort, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and remained silent.
It had to be said that although Arthur was indeed guessing, he had guessed correctly.
Seeing Nick Fury get up, everyone cautiously walked towards the church door with frowns.
Arthur, however, surrounded by Agents, was completely different; he walked leisurely, as if enjoying the scenery.
Wanda and the others saw the relaxed expression on Arthur's face, and their tension eased considerably.
It was an ancient wooden door, its height alone was three meters tall.
From the marks on the door, it had at least seventy or eighty years of history.
Two Agents cautiously stepped forward and pulled open the ancient door with effort.
From this point, it was clear that someone was either meeting Sarah or some mysterious force was in control.
Otherwise, Sarah alone could not have pushed open this door.
With a creaking sound, the two doors slowly opened from the middle.
Dust rushed out as the doors opened, and a rotten, stuffy smell made everyone wrinkle their noses.
Before their eyes appeared wooden pews that had been there for an unknown number of years.
Due to disrepair, many had already fallen to the ground.
A large cross hung on the wall directly in front of them.
For some unknown reason, half of this cross was missing, and the other half lay on the ground, rotten and moldy.
"Sarah is gone!"
Hill peered around, her brows slightly furrowed.
Although ten minutes had passed, she shouldn't have just disappeared like that.
And while the church was large, the main hall occupied most of the space, allowing a clear view of the interior at a glance.
"I don't sense her either!"
Wanda frowned. Just now, she had tried to sense the space within the church, but found no trace of Sarah.
Although she wanted to expand her range, sensing the entire church was already very taxing for her at the moment.
"Let's check over there!"
Nick Fury instructed two Agents to check *that place*.
A moment later, the two ran back in a panic.
"Director, we've checked, *that place* is locked, there's no way out!"
Because that place was locked from the inside just now, if she really went out from there, the door should be open!
"What on earth is going on!"
Nick Fury's expression instantly turned very ugly.
He never imagined that the other party would disappear into thin air.
This was impossible, because they had entered through the main entrance.
But there was no trace of Sarah here. Could it really be a ghost?
Although they had seen many monsters, this was the first time they had encountered something so bizarre.
"Everyone, split up and search; maybe she's in another room."
Nick Fury ordered through gritted teeth.
