Chapter 125 Search
After Simmons goes missing, Fitz feels like his world is falling apart. .shung
He had already developed feelings for Simmons, and even just a few days after confessing his love, he was ready to go on a date with Simmons after the relationship heated up further, but this stone disrupted the situation.
For several days, he didn't eat or sleep, trying to think of a solution like crazy. At a certain moment, he thought of the last words Simmons shouted before disappearing.
So, he found the answer outside the box.
Fitz had fallen into a strange thinking circle before and had been thinking about this problem from a scientific perspective, but the current scientific level could not answer it at all. But this rock has existed for thousands of years, and there must be many myths and legends about it. There may be useful clues in those things.
Following this line of thought, all the team members of Rega and Coulson started searching and came to Morocco.
"Are you sure this is where it is?" Rhaegar asked, looking around.
The climate in this area is hot, the sunshine is strong, and the wind and sand are strong. It is all earthy yellow to the eye, and there is no life at all. In the neighborhood in front of them, gangsters armed with guns, wearing sunglasses and fierce expressions could be seen everywhere.
"Yes, that stone was originally buried in Yucatan. There was a piece of parchment in the scroll box next to the stone, explaining the properties of the stone, but it was taken away by the underworld organization led by Joseph when they robbed the museum. The local People say he's here," Fitz said.
This time, there were only two of them in Morocco. Fitz was responsible for providing professional knowledge, and Rega was responsible for acting as a thug and escort. With Rhaegar here, there was no need to mobilize troops. Therefore, Coulson and the others stayed at the base camp because they had other things to deal with.
"Well, then you wait here for a while, and I'll go in and get something."
After Rhaegar finished speaking, he walked towards the dilapidated house.
Rhaegar's figure quickly disappeared into the building, and Fitz observed the situation nervously.
Soon, a violent explosion suddenly came, and the ground trembled. The rumbling sound covered the sky, startling everyone, and the street suddenly became panicked. Fitz looked hurriedly, and in his shocked eyes, the building just now quickly collapsed into a pile of ruins.
"Okay, we've got the things, let's go back." Rega walked out of the smoke and raised a piece of parchment in his hand.
"Oh, okay, okay, let's go." Fitz stammered and nodded. Although he had already seen Rhaegar's abilities, he was still shocked.
They came to an open area not far away, and the invisible Quinjet quickly took the two of them back to SHIELD.
"Do you know what this symbol means?" Colson looked at the parchment spread out on the table, and around him, all the members of the team gathered.
"This is Hebrew and means death." Fitz said slowly.
He felt desperate. He originally thought that there should be an explanation about this stone on the parchment, but he did not expect that there was nothing except this unknown word.
"Isn't there a hidden message? This kind of thing is usually not easy to find." Coulson asked.
"I checked, and there's nothing abnormal." Fitz said dejectedly.
"Maybe we should look for other help. This boulder is so old, so many people must have studied it, right?" Daisy said.
"That's true, but we must be able to trust each other." Mei's tone was cautious.
"I know a person," Colson said suddenly. "Originally, I didn't want to disturb him, but these are extraordinary times, so I can't care so much."
"Who?" Rhaegar asked.
"Professor Randolph." Coulson said a name.
Rhaegar thought for a while, but he had never heard of it at all.
"Professor Randolph has lived on this planet for hundreds of years, and came through time and space through the portal. If anyone can help us, it should be him."
"He's an alien?" Fitz was a little unsure.
"Well, Asgardians."
"Where is he?".
"The land of ten thousand islands."
After Coulson finished speaking, he walked towards the plane first.
After several hours of flight, they arrived at a prison in Norway.
"Professor Randolph," Colson's face was as gentle as ever, "Long time no see."
"Colson, what are you doing here?" An old man who looked to be in his fifties put down the book in his hand.
"I'm here to ask you a favor." Coulson told the story in general.
"Sorry, I can't help you."
"Why?!" Fitz grabbed the fence with both hands.
Randolph glanced at him and said calmly, "Because I am an alien and I have to keep a low profile, otherwise it will cause big trouble, overwhelming news, people panic, the government sending people to arrest me, etc. Besides, I still have In prison, but I have to say, it’s very comfortable here.”
"So you should come back to me in a few months. I might be in a better mood by then."
"We can't afford to wait a few months!" Fitz was anxious and angry.
"Sorry, it's none of my business."
After saying that, Randolph lowered his head again.
Seeing that this man looked like there was nothing you could do to me, Rhaegar pulled down the prison door and walked in.
"You are……"
"Listen old man, I'm in a bad mood right now. We have to open that huge stone, and you have to help us. Otherwise, I will tell Thor that you have been illegally staying on the earth for hundreds of years and let him take you back, Aspen Gad’s prison was not as comfortable as it is now.”
Randolph's sudden change of color struck a chord with him.
"Are you threatening me?" Randolph's eyes were very evil.
"We are inviting you now. If you don't agree, the handsome blond guy with a hammer will come to see you later." Rhaegar responded forcefully without any fear.
Randolph gritted his teeth and finally nodded helplessly.
"You can help me, but I have to see this thing with my own eyes."
"No problem." Colson agreed readily.
The three of them quickly returned to the base and saw the huge stone in the basement.
Looking at the boulder that suddenly turned into liquid, Randolph was surprised. He didn't expect that the passage Coulson said was true.
He glanced at Rhaegar. With this guy around, he couldn't use force.
"I have one condition," Randolph said.
"what?"
"I'll help you, but you have to destroy this thing."
"Because you don't want to go back to Asgard?" Colson smiled, "Don't worry, as long as our goal is achieved, I am eager to destroy it."
"Great." Randolph was instantly happy. This was exactly what he intended when he saw the stone.
"This is the parchment buried with the boulder. Have you seen it?" Fitz handed the thing to Randolph.
"Of course I have seen this before. In 1853, it was on the wall of a castle in Gloucestershire, England." Randolph looked a little excited. "Let's go and have a look."
The four of them took a plane and came to Gloucester, England.
In a long-abandoned castle in the wilderness, Rhaegar and the others finally saw this sign.
After opening a secret door, they entered a strange room.
The room was small and had a dome-like structure. There were ancient instruments placed around it, which had accumulated dust for countless years. Wires criss-crossed the sky, covered with cobwebs. The exposed gears and steel have weathered the vicissitudes of time and have become extremely rusty.
"Probably a nineteenth-century generator," Coulson said, flipping a switch.
After a few flashes, the dim light came on.
Randolph looked around curiously, fiddling with the various levers. Although he had been to this castle before, he had never seen this room.
Suddenly, as a handle was pulled down, the stones in the center of the room slowly moved, revealing a huge pit.
"It looks like a boulder was placed there," Randolph said.
"This room is used to control the opening and closing of the boulder!" Fitz shouted excitedly.
"Do you know or are you just guessing?" Rhaegar asked.
"Try it, and then you'll know."
