Chapter 971: Meeting

Chapter 971: Meeting

While Scott was being flown by Flying Insect 256, experiencing various flight maneuvers amidst heavy traffic. Lin Rui and Bucky were enjoying drinks at a nearby bar. When the Flying Insect 256 flew away, Lin Rui, who was sipping on barley wine, displayed a slight frown.

“Is something bothering you?” Bucky, who had noticed Lin Rui’s expression, asked.

“No, it’s nothing. Scott just flew by from outside. It looks like he’s already spoken with the other person,” Lin Rui responded to Bucky’s inquiry.

Under the induction of the Insight Technique that Lin Rui has been releasing, Scott, who has become ant-sized, is seen riding on the back of a small flying insect on the road, being swept up and down by the air current driven by the traffic.

For Scott, the experience of flying a flying insect for the first time should not be comfortable.

Bucky asked skeptically, “Fly over?”

Lin Rui confirmed, “Yes, on the back of a small flying insect.”

Bucky was speechless.

Lin Rui knew that Scott was now flying on an insect to reach Dr. Pym, but he chose not to act. He had already given Scott a communicator for them to stay in touch, and as long as Scott has the device, Lin Rui can always locate him. If Scott ever needs help, Lin Rui will step in.

Lin Rui took a sip of the mediocre barley wine and exclaimed with mixed emotions, “Looks like our journey will never be peaceful!”

He was holding a blue cube in his left hand, which resembled a Magic Cube. After regaining his memories, Lin Rui had retrieved the cube that had fallen with him and Bucky. Although Bucky was curious about the cube, Lin Rui had no plans to explain anything about it.

During the battle in Asgard against Malekith, Lin Rui had accidentally triggered a space energy disturbance in the Magic Cube. Now, the cube was calm and appeared to be a normal toy.

If Lin Rui wasn’t familiar with the use of the Magic Cube and didn’t sense the vast space energy within it, he would have thought it had been switched.

Lin Rui whispered to himself as he ran his fingers over the surface of the Magic Cube, “With my current power, I can only create basic space energy waves, and I can’t create a stable space portal.”

The Magic Cube is the spatial Infinity Stone among the six Infinity Stones in the universe, and if Lin Rui can master its power, he would become a super-powered being comparable to the Ancient One. However, it is not yet known when that day will come.

Bucky, who was sitting across from Lin Rui and drinking beer, didn’t respond, but a hint of helplessness could be seen in his eyes.

If Lin Rui hadn’t stumbled upon these things, they would have left the city by now. Bucky didn’t voice this, though. He had nothing better to do, and finding these interesting things with Lin Rui was a unique experience.

…

Huh Huh~

After 256 flying insects circled around nearby buildings, almost making Scott sick, they finally entered Dr. Pym’s villa. The insect 256 landed smoothly on the first-floor living room, flapping its wings a few times as if telling Scott to hurry up and disembark.

“I… can’t handle it! I’m going to be sick!” Scott reluctantly climbed down from the insect’s back while fighting off nausea.

“Scott, this is my battle suit. Don’t you dare throw up in it!” Dr. Pym’s warning echoed in Scott’s ear as if sensing his current state.~

Regardless of Dr.Pym’s voice in his ears, Scott, who fell from the back of the little flying insect, lay on the floor of the living room and began to retch.

Buzz Buzz!

As Scott was about to throw up, his body rapidly expanded and then shrank back to its original size. His helmet then popped off on its own. Unfortunately, the helmet was off only after Scott had already thrown up on the ground.

“Vomit!……”

Scott, feeling dizzy from the flight on the insect, lay on the ground and vomited for two minutes before turning over, still looking pale and motionless.

The ten-minute flight of the 256 Flying Bug was more intense than any roller coaster and more thrilling than aerobatic stunts. Despite Scott’s good physical condition, he was unable to handle the unpredictable flight.

Da Da Da ~

As Scott lay on the ground, breathing heavily and feeling ashamed, he heard the sound of high heels tapping against the floor, getting closer. With some difficulty, he opened his eyes and turned his head toward the source of the sound.

A pair of slender, jade-like legs came into view. Upon seeing the legs, Scott was momentarily stunned before slowly lifting his gaze upwards.

Snapped!

Just as Scott’s gaze was moving upward, a black shadow suddenly swooped in and struck his eye directly.

“Ow!” Scott cried out in pain from the impact.

“Serves you right!” A female voice spoke out in response to Scott’s cries.

It was Hope, and it was her legs that Scott had just been admiring. Given her negative first impression of Scott for his inappropriate gaze, it was understandable that Hope would take action.

Call!

Hearing Hope’s voice, Scott, who was lying on the ground, covered his eyes and slowly got up. No one would be happy that he was attacked for no reason.

“Hope, okay, he didn’t mean it.” Just as Scott got up from the ground and looked at Hope, Dr.Pym had already walked over from behind her and said.

“Hmph!” Hearing Dr.Pym’s words, Hope snorted and turned her head away.

At this time, Scott finally saw the two people standing in front of him clearly. Needless to say, the person who hit him with something just now was the beautiful woman with a disdainful look on her face, and the person talking to him in the Antman suit should be the kind-looking old man.

“Hello, Scott Lang, it’s great to finally meet you. I’m Hank Pym,” Dr. Pym greeted Scott with a smile on his face.
