The Wizard of Asgard

Deadpool escaped from prison?

Edith's eyes were wide open, she thought Natasha was joking, but Natasha's serious expression was nothing like that, instead she stared at Edith, trying to find some clues from her panicked eyes.

"What? Natasha, do you suspect it's me?"

Edith remembers Deadpool, who used to hang out and join the repeated association created by Wanda, but has been inactive. Later, when he reappeared, he claimed to be a member of the Hellfire Club and anonymously reported that Edith had an affair with Hydra, but he had The prison director and even the government couldn't find out what he was trying to do.

"I thought he would come to you after he came out, dear." Natasha patted her on the shoulder, turned around and said softly, "For safety, remember to tell us."

Natasha's suspicion is not unreasonable. This Deadpool is obviously coming towards Edith. Before completing his mission, he should find Edith again. But this is not a bad thing. Since even the government can't do anything, It is not an exaggeration to entrust Edith with this task, after all, the other party is also here for her.

"Story, I'm going out to relax." Edith put on a coat, greeted the hotel staff and left.

Natasha has to go back to report after completing her mission. Recently, New York is quite peaceful, and the whereabouts of the Hydra organization is still unknown. The gangsters on the street rob and steal, and the new superpowers like Spider or Ant-Man are used to fight against evil.Edith went to the Avengers Building as usual to see if there was any latest news about Deadpool, but the people in the building didn't have any clues about where Deadpool fled, where he went, who he contacted, not even the government. Having no idea, Edith had no choice but to make a cup of coffee and sit in the corner to taste it.

"Dr. Banner! Good morning!" As soon as he sat down, he saw Banner frowning and flipping through a thick book. When Edith greeted him, he just nodded slightly, and then sat down opposite her.

"Gulu Gulu..." An inappropriate voice sounded in Banner's stomach.

Edith smiled, tilted her head and asked, "Didn't the doctor have breakfast?"

Banner nodded in embarrassment, and then stuck his head in the thick book again.

Seeing that Banner was not in the mood to chat, Edith wanted to break the tranquility, got up and said, "Banner, let's go have breakfast, I haven't eaten yet."

Calling the doctor by his name in a familiar way, Banner was stunned for a moment, then closed the book but didn't intend to put it down, and got up and said, "Okay, let's go."

The Union Building is located in the northwest of New York. Although it is not in the center of New York, it is only a few blocks away from the Central Garden. Seeing that Edith wanted to take him to a crowded place, Banner immediately shook his head: "No, no, I don't want to go over there."

Edith understood that he was afraid that the big thing inside him would burst out suddenly, so she would lead Banner through an alley to the narrow pastry shop.

"Two glasses of orange juice, a sandwich, and an omelette." Seeing that Banner was ordering unintentionally, Edith smiled at the waiter and ordered, "By the way, more butter."

After ordering, Edith rested her chin on her hands and stared at Banner's face as she read the book carefully, but Banner didn't notice her gaze. He was still staring at his book intently and taking notes while reading it!

"Banner, what are you looking at?" Finally unable to bear the embarrassment of this silence, Edith took out a thick stack of books from Banner's hand, and found that the book was called "Records of Geological Disasters", which recorded About earthquakes, tsunamis, hailstorms and other disaster warnings, Edith curled her lips. She dismissed such books no matter where they were placed, because she had no interest at all.

"The professor is really a professor. He doesn't forget to read books to enrich himself when he comes out to eat." Edith was referring to the fact that she stared at Banner for a long time just now, but the latter didn't respond to this matter.

Banner took the book back, but did not open it again. Instead, he pressed it under his elbow, and said softly and mysteriously, "Edith, do you believe in ghosts?"

"Ghost?" Edith drank the orange juice handed over by the waiter, and almost spit out a sip of water in her mouth. She immediately swallowed it and wiped her mouth, and asked uncertainly, "You mean ghost?"

A dignified professor, a brilliant student with seven Ph.D.s, actually talked to her about "ghosts" in this narrow pastry room, uh...how should I put it, it's very wrong!

Probably aware that something was wrong, Banner apologized in a low voice for his abruptness. Before eating the sandwich, he hurriedly took the book "Geological Disaster Record" and wanted to leave, but Edith immediately grabbed his wrist.

"Wait, Banner, I believe it!"

Edith was not lying, her eyes were firm and unmistakable.

Banner was a little lost. He sat back in his seat, kneaded his forehead in embarrassment, took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes, put them back on, fidgeted and said, "I'm not joking, Edith."

"Yes, isn't it just a ghost?" Edith drank the orange juice in the glass, smiled softly, her eyes were full of nostalgia, "In Hogwarts College, there are ghosts floating everywhere, even during meals and dances. Every now and then, they will come out and sing and dance with us."

Banner responded with a headache: "Well, maybe, ghosts and ghosts are the same concept."

"Banner, why did you suddenly think of saying this today?" In my impression, Banner is not the guy who can talk about the supernatural world with people. He must have encountered some difficulties when he said that.

"Let me tell you this." Banner looked at the left and right sides and made sure that there was no one there, so he said in relief, "My student from five years ago suddenly came to the building to look for me this morning, and claimed that the equipment I left at school was detecting There is a strange magnetic field in the southeast area."

Edith was confused.

"He also checked it a few hours ago. At that time, the symptoms of magnetic field lines were strong, showing a 'Bohr-like arc', but soon this arc disappeared. My student checked the information on the Internet and found that there had been incidents in that area before. There were many homicides, and no murderer was found, and the unsolved cases left the houses in that area empty, the question is, if there is no one, where is the 'Bohr-type magnetic field' reaction?"

The "Bohr-type magnetic field" that Banner refers to is a name created by him and his students. Certain magnetic fields on the earth are caused by the currents of objects and chemical machines, while the "Bohr-type magnetic field" is caused by static currents in human bodies. exist.There was a strange magnetic field in that area, but it suddenly disappeared, and every time the magnetic field appeared, there would be inexplicable injuries, falls, or sudden cardiac death among nearby residents.

Edith nodded, but was also taken aback for a while.

"I didn't believe in these things at first, so I took out the "Record of Geological Disasters", which explained in detail the magnetic field response and changes when disasters came, but I was helpless about that area."

"I understand. You mean we need to explore that area?"

"Detection?" Banner's eyes lit up, "Yes, instead of sitting here waiting to die, why don't I check it in detail again!" He took out his mobile phone and prepared to call the student.

Edith was ashamed, did she just study stupidly?

After leaving the bakery, Edith followed Banner back to his room to sort out the books and notes, and exclaimed, "I can't believe that we, the Avengers, want to investigate ghosts!"

Banner was taken aback, pulled him aside, and whispered: "Don't tell anyone about this, you know, there are always atheists in the government."

Edith smiled wryly, so is this a free move?

After packing up a bunch of luggage and notes, Edith and Banner went to a small mountain village in Vermont. They were greeted and entertained by a French man named André, who claimed to be a former student of Dr. Banner, currently studying at at the University of Vermont.

Seeing Banner coming, he didn't say much greetings, and directly invited him to come to a car, opened the trunk, and it was full of large machines, some of which were beeping. Andre rubbed his hands and said, "Know that Dr. You joined the Avengers and thought you wouldn't be here this time."

Banner waved his hand: "No, I've always been interested in things that science can't explain."

Edith knew nothing about these professional knowledge, and it was not convenient to participate in their topics. She waved her hand and said that she wanted to go around and come back in an hour.

"Going forward, you have to be careful, ma'am, that's the magnetic field area we're detecting." Andre stopped her, and Edith was taken aback, she knew what Andre was talking about, and the area The area is also the purpose of Banner's trip. She waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't go there."

The wind was probably too strong, and Banner and Andre couldn't hear what she said, and Andre didn't feel at ease. He took out a tablet computer and handed it to Banner, and clicked on the data inside. The data was densely packed in the shape of a mountain. , not at all rigorous as usual, this is not like a normal magnetic field.

"There is a problem." Banner took a deep breath and asked, pointing to the highest mountain-shaped data line, "Where is this?"

"The direction Miss Edith was going just now." After saying this, Andre suddenly felt that something was wrong, and suddenly raised his head, Edith had long since disappeared!It's strange that she was here just now!Even if you walk for another 5 minutes, you should still be within your line of sight!After all, the surrounding area is an empty flat area!

The wind was too strong, and she always felt someone calling her from behind. Edith sneezed and looked behind her. It was strange that Banner and Andre were behind her just now. Why did they disappear in the blink of an eye?

She rubbed her eyes, and it was indeed gone!Even the big truck disappeared!

There was fog around, and the huge fog covered the mountains and lawns not far away, leaving only a few square meters of sight. Edith took out her wand, but she couldn't think of any spells to dispel the fog.

This mist is really weird, and it also brought some ominous breath when it appeared!

After that, even though Edith racked her brains, she couldn't think of any spells that could disperse the smog. Not only that, she couldn't even remember the simplest spells such as the pronunciation of the word "fluorescence flashing"!

"I'm getting out of here!" she babbled, concentrating on Apparating, but with her hands and legs looming like lines on an old TV's white screen, she was horrified to find she couldn't Apparate !

The fog cleared quickly, and Edith came to a tree, which was as high as the sky, standing tall and straight in front of her, with its roots deep in the soil, and its treacherous appearance was very much like the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts School The Whomping Willow.

But it is not the Whomping Willow, and there is a little girl standing under the tree, her back is facing Edith, her blond hair is messy and frizzy, Edith walked over gently and found that the girl was facing the roots of the big tree, and the tree There is a weird doll lying under it.

The doll is wearing a snow-white dress, with flaxen hair combed back, a pair of eyes staring straight ahead, lips as red as blood, and a wicked smile.

Sensing Edith approaching, the girl picked up the doll and turned her face away. Her expression was dull and pale, and she was wearing a Barbie princess dress. She looked only 7.8 years old, but she showed eyes that could see through the world.

"Who are you? Why doesn't my magic work here?" Edith stepped forward and asked, the girl smiled, and the corners of her mouth curled up with a faint treachery, just like that doll.

"Annabelle." She said softly, the voice mixed with the wind and blew into Edith's ears, her whole body trembled, her body fell straight back, and her eyes were completely dark.

Waking up again, it was in Banner's arms. He slapped Edith's face hard, feeling the burning pain on his face. Edith suddenly opened her eyes and gasped for breath.

Undoubtedly, she had a nightmare again, and Idas's sly and sinister smile was still in the dream. She was trapped in a room full of flames, with her hands tied in chains. It had been a week since the last time she dreamed of her.Edith keenly noticed that the flame in the dream was smaller this time, unlike last time, the flame licked the door frame and almost jumped out of it.

Maybe it has something to do with the disappearance of magic?

"Cough cough." While Edith exhaled heavily, a lot of mist got into her lungs, she coughed violently a few times, and only asked when her throat didn't hurt so much, "Banner, I noticed something is wrong. "

"Well, I found it too." Banner replied, "I feel like it's gone."

Being able to talk and act like a normal person is what Banner has always yearned for. He can feel the Hulk disappearing in his body, and the anger that once filled his body dissipated, but this fog is really weird. Taking Hulk away also brought unknown mysteries!

"I can't contact all the people in New York City and Vermont, even my friend, Professor Banner!" Andre came running with his laptop in his hands. big truck.

Banner sighed: "That's what I want to tell you, Edith, we can't go back."

During the time when Edith disappeared, Banner tried to contact the Avengers base or contact the New York City government, but to no avail!He tried to leave here in the big truck again, but after going around and around, he always returned to this clearing.The whole area is like an endless circle, no matter which way you go, no matter how you go, you will return to the same place!

"Professor, won't we encounter ghosts hitting the wall?" Ender's terrified tone showed a little choked up, maybe he was already scared to cry.

"Impossible, there can't be ghosts in this world!" Banner stopped him angrily. This kind of supernatural phenomenon that can't even be explained by science seems to be a great shame in front of him who has obtained seven doctorates.

Edith staggered to her feet and observed her surroundings. She tried to recall the spells she had learned at school, but she still couldn't remember the grammar. Apparation still didn't move. Her frustrated expression explained everything to Banner. Her magic is useless here!She didn't even feel magic flowing through her body.

"Banner, I just met a little girl who was holding a doll and standing under a big tree. I asked who she was, and she said her name was Annabelle."

As soon as Edith finished speaking, Andre suddenly grabbed her arm, his eyes widened: "What are you talking about? Impossible, Annabelle?"

Edith was startled by Andre's actions. With Banner's help, she broke free from Andre's imprisonment, frowning: "Why are you so excited? Besides, who is Annabelle?"

Andre grabbed his hair with both hands and squatted on the ground, chanting, "If it's true, we're hopeless!"
