Chapter 1006: Analysis
Just as Professor Pym and Hope van Dyne saw Lin Rui and Bucky leave and the spatial portal disappeared through the ant team that they had sent out, Tony at Stark Industries in New York received a notification from JARVIS that he had just received a message from Lin Rui.
“This guy never rests even when he’s outside,” Tony muttered helplessly upon seeing JARVIS’s notification of Lin Rui’s message.
Just moments ago, JARVIS had also received a message from Lin Rui, but it had nothing to do with Tony. Lin Rui had asked JARVIS to help notify SHIELD that there was something they needed to solve in a northern city in the United States.
Based on Lin Rui’s message, it seemed that the issue that SHIELD needed to resolve was one that they had previously left behind.
From this message, Tony also guessed that Lin Rui was currently in that northern city. However, Tony had no plans to go to that city to find Lin Rui.
Even if Tony tried to find him, Lin Rui could deliberately avoid them and no one could find him if he doesn’t want to be found.
This time, Lin Rui’s message was not to ask for SHIELD’s help but to ask for Tony’s help. In the message, Lin Rui told Tony that he had left something for him in a certain place in that northern city.
Lin Rui also promised that Tony would be very interested in what he left behind. However, Lin Rui also reminded Tony not to be too conspicuous when he went to get it, and it would be best not to wear the Iron Man suit.
Tony didn’t think much of this message, but he was annoyed when Lin Rui told him not to be too conspicuous when he went to get the item.
After all, he was the famous Iron Man Tony Stark, and even if he tried to be low-key, people would still recognize him wherever he went.
However, since Lin Rui had said that, Tony just asked JARVIS to arrange everything and was too lazy to make the trip himself. Besides, since Lin Rui had sent this message, he had probably already left the city.
Buzz~
“JARVIS, send someone over to retrieve it. Also, investigate and see if anything strange has happened in that city in the past few days,” Tony said calmly as he waved his hand and turned off the screen in front of him.
“Yes, sir,” JARVIS replied, and he immediately dispatched a reliable person to the location mentioned by Lin Rui.
At the same time, JARVIS was browsing the local news network in the northern city. In no time, JARVIS discovered the strange events Tony had mentioned. It seemed that a giant had appeared in the area last night.
With Jarvis’s ability, he directly invaded the internal network of the local police station and saw the first-hand scene materials. The clear photos were more fascinating than the local news reports.
“Sir, I have found something,” JARVIS spoke up as soon as Tony turned around. Since there was a screen in front of him, JARVIS could directly play his findings for Tony to see.
“Hmm? So fast? What did you find?” Tony asked without even turning his head. After all, there was a screen in front of him, and JARVIS could play his findings directly for Tony to see.
In the next moment, the screen in front of Tony changed, showing several web pages and some photos.
“This is today’s local news. Last night, there was a Low-Level earthquake phenomenon in a local block, but the earthquake bureau did not detect the epicenter, so it should not have been an earthquake. Moreover, when the earthquake occurred, someone saw giants appearing on the street, and there were many giant footprints on the ground, which I retrieved from the police’s internal files. It has been confirmed that these photos are all authentic,” JARVIS continued to speak as the web pages and photos were displayed on the screen.
Regarding what JARVIS said about invading the local police database, Tony didn’t react at all. After all, the other party couldn’t possibly know.
However, when Tony finished reading those reports and saw the photos confirmed by JARVIS to be real, he couldn’t help but feel the same surprise as an ordinary person.
“A giant? How could there be such a lifeform on Earth? According to the normal evolution of lifeforms, the current Earth environment is not suitable for such a large lifeform to survive.” Carefully flipping through the photos on the screen, Tony muttered to himself.
In the history of Earth’s development, there were indeed many super-large lifeforms in ancient times, such as those several-story-high dinosaurs. However, the Earth’s environment at that time was completely different from now.
At the very least, the oxygen content at that time was far higher than it is now. If those super-large lifeforms from ancient times appeared on Earth now, they would quickly die because they couldn’t adapt to the current oxygen content.
Of course, this is the Marvel World, where anything is possible on Earth. Therefore, Tony only ruled out the possibility that the giant was a result of natural evolution from the perspective of basic lifeforms.
“Well, I have also processed these photos and videos taken by the locals when the giant appeared at night. It can be seen that this giant doesn’t seem to be just a simple giant.” Hearing Tony’s muttering, JARVIS spoke while already making changes to those photos.
Swish, swish, swish~
On the screen in front of Tony, after JARVIS’s special processing, the originally dark and unclear photos were paired with two videos of the giant being filmed, allowing Tony to see more clearly what the giant was.
“Huh? This giant seems to be wearing an unusual set of clothes! And, look at this footprint, it’s obviously not made by ordinary soles or shoes.” After being processed by JARVIS, Tony quickly discovered some strange things.
“Could it be achieved through some kind of technology?” Tony Stark, as the world’s top high-IQ scientific talent, could guess the general situation of this giant based on these details.
“Well, according to the police investigation, these footprints only appear within the range of three blocks, but before and after these footprints appear and disappear, there are normal human-sized footprints. However, they did not find any results from the investigation, and the normal-sized footprints disappeared into thin air.” After Tony finished speaking, JARVIS also stated his analysis results.
“In other words, this giant should be a transformation of someone with a normal physique. He not only can transform into a giant but also disappear into thin air. If he initially left behind normal-sized footprints, it means he didn’t care about this detail, but suddenly there were no footprints later, does that mean he can fly? Or teleport?” Analyzing up to this point, Tony has already figured out the situation of Curt’s escape.
