Gwen did not panic and freeze in place like women in ordinary horror movies when encountering bizarre situations she couldn't understand.
Instead, she immediately turned around, prepared to run outside and seek help from her father.
But this time, what Gwen encountered was not a malicious ghost.
Instead, it was the Scarlet Witch, who was countless times more terrifying than a malicious ghost!
Therefore, the moment she turned and ran a step, she crashed into a soft embrace.
Gwen looked up and discovered that it was precisely the mysterious woman who had just been in the room!
Before Gwen could resist, Wanda had already placed her hands on her temples, wisps of red mist instantly permeating her brain, causing Gwen's eyes to instantly become lifeless and close, her body also turning powerlessly soft and collapsing in Wanda's arms.
Wanda hugged Gwen's waist with one hand and gently stroked her golden hair with the other, saying softly: "Sorry, I must borrow your identity for a period of time, and in return, I will change the disaster that is about to happen to your father..."
"Gwen, it's time to eat!"
At this moment, Captain Stacy walked out of the kitchen carrying the last dish and shouted towards the direction of Gwen's room.
Wanda looked towards the dining room and replied with a smile: "Coming, daddy~"
The strange thing was that clearly the one making the sound was Wanda, but the voice emitted was distinctly Gwen's!
Next, an even more miraculous thing happened. Seeing Wanda wave her hand to open a crimson rift and placing the unconscious Gwen into the rift, Wanda herself distorted within the red mist.
When the red mist disappeared, the mature red-haired Witch had already turned into a teenage blonde girl!
Strikingly, it was Gwen's appearance!
Gwen came to the dining room with her hands behind her back, a smile on her face: "Daddy, congratulations on your upcoming promotion. I have prepared a promotion gift for you~"
Captain Stacy, who pulled out the chair for Gwen and spread a napkin for her on the table, was somewhat pleasantly surprised: "What gift has my precious daughter prepared for me?"
Gwen sat in her seat and extended the hands hidden behind her back, holding a dark red triangular cloth bag inscribed with bizarre runes in her palms.
Captain Stacy took the cloth bag strung with a rope and was somewhat puzzled: "What is this?"
Gwen smiled sweetly: "An amulet, it can keep you safe. You must wear it on you at all times starting today, oh!"
Hearing this, although Captain Stacy as a Police officer didn't believe in these things, this was his daughter's sentiment, so he hung it around his neck without hesitation.
Captain Stacy puffed out his chest: "How do I look wearing it?"
"Very handsome, oh!" Seeing this, Gwen's eyes curved into crescent shapes with a smile.
'I borrowed your identity once and saved your father's life; we are even now~'
"Ahhhhh! Help!!!!!!"
In Queens, on the roof of an apartment building covered with flowers, a girl fell from the roof.
But just as she was about to hit the ground, a silver-gray figure swept past from the flower beds, hugged the girl, and brought her back to the roof!
"You scammed me once last time, and I scammed you once this time; we're even~" On the rooftop, Ryan said to America with an evil smile.
"What the f*ck! Why did you suddenly push me off the roof just now?!" America was still trembling all over with lingering fear.
"Didn't you say yourself that all the times you opened the multiverse portals before were under extreme stimulation? So I wanted to try if this could stimulate your ability~" Ryan said as a matter of course.
Hearing this, America couldn't help glaring at Ryan: "You really are a bastard. Didn't I also say that even under extreme stimulation, I can't succeed every time?"
"If I hadn't succeeded, wouldn't I have fallen to my death?!"
Ryan shrugged indifferently: "What does that matter? Anyway, I can always save you; if once doesn't work, just come a few more times~"
"Come again? Whether a few more times can stimulate my ability, I don't know, but my heart disease would definitely be scared out first!" America stamped her feet in protest, "Don't you have a more scientific training method?"
Hearing this, Ryan rubbed his chin: "A more scientific training method? Actually, there is one..."
"Since you're unwilling to take a shortcut, let's try a more scientific training method!"
America widened her eyes: "Turns out there is a more scientific training method? Then what is the more scientific method?"
Ryan looked at America thoughtfully and said: "You mentioned before that another Doctor Strange, when driven to a dead end, had thought about seizing your ability, and he said he could control your ability, right?"
America didn't know why Ryan suddenly brought this up, but she still nodded: "Yes, he did say that."
Ryan nodded, a smile curving the corner of his mouth: "Then that's right. The difference between you and Doctor Strange is actually just because he has undergone training in Kamar-Taj and become a mage..."
"And you haven't, so what we need to do now is let you also become a mage, or at least, let you master a piece of Space Magic!"
"Although your spatial ability is quite special, it ultimately belongs to the category of spatial systems. Learning a Space Magic should allow you to indirectly master your own spatial ability!"
America scratched her head: "Is that so? It sounds quite reasonable too, so do you know Space Magic as well?"
Ryan simply shook his head: "Of course not, do I look like a magician?"
America glanced up and down at Ryan's physique—although he had a somewhat scholarly temperament, he stood two meters tall with a robust build—and hurriedly shook her head.
How is this like a mage? He's completely a warrior!
But then America became puzzled: "Since you don't know Space Magic either, how am I supposed to learn Space Magic?"
Hearing this, Ryan laughed, laughing very evilly: "Hehe, although I don't know Space Magic, I know where there are Space Magic books~"
"Ah?" America asked.
11 minutes later.
New York Sanctum.
Tap——
A barely perceptible landing sound rang out.
Two figures, one tall and one short, landed on the roof of the New York Sanctum.
America's heart was pounding wildly as she watched, and she asked in a low voice: "Ryan, are we really going to steal the spellbooks from the sanctum?"
"No, we aren't going to the sanctum to steal spellbooks..." Ryan shook his head.
"That's good!" America breathed a sigh of relief.
"We're actually going to Kamar-Taj to steal spellbooks. The New York Sanctum is just a fulcrum for large-scale magic, where some magical artifacts exist, but all magic books are uniformly housed in the library of Kamar-Taj. So we need to first pass through the portal of the New York Sanctum to get to Kamar-Taj!" Ryan explained further.
