Chapter 687: The Order Of Celestial Worship
The authority to conduct a large-scale investigation was quickly approved by the higher-ups.
With the assistance of Military Intelligence Section Six, S. H. I. E. L. D. would search the entire area of London for space-time distortion positions.
Of course, the price was that Fury was scolded by the Security Council, but fortunately, after clarifying the stakes, the group of politicians who were afraid of death immediately expressed their support, and they would give the green light all the way.
The investigation was not easy. After all, London was not small.
Even though S. H. I. E. L. D.'s technology and equipment were advanced, it would take at least seven to eight hours to complete the entire investigation.
Natasha ordered the entire factory to be sealed, and no one related to it was allowed to enter.
They would not go in to explore in the future, because this place was too dangerous.
According to the detection results of the instruments, the space-time field in the factory was chaotic and distorted, and the location of the space channel was unknown, so it was very likely to be swallowed by the sudden appearance of the space tunnel and fall to unknown places.
As for the death of Jane Foster, it seemed that the result was very obvious now.
In the process of exploring the abandoned factory, the distorted space-time field suddenly tore open the space, causing Jane Foster to fall into it accidentally, and then appeared over the Thames River more than a hundred kilometers away, which eventually led to this tragedy.
Although all of this seemed to be a coincidence, it had to be said that this was the truth, the tragedy that came from scientists seeking to brew.
On the one hand, Natasha has a headache about the time and space distortions in London, and on the other hand, she has to think about how to explain Jane's death to Thor. The simple-minded prince of Asgard, it would be bad if he got angry
When night fell, the entire London was shrouded in darkness.
Natasha rubbed her swollen temples and picked up a cup of hot coffee. She took a sip from the edge of her red lips and asked agent, "How is the progress of the exploration?"
"Two areas have been discovered. The rest are still being checked." The technician took the time to reply.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Natasha casually comforted them. She got up and went outside the temporary stronghold, intending to ask Barton about the progress.
After she and Barton came to London, they split up. One was responsible for tracking down the disappearance of Jane Foster, and the other went to contact Dr. Eric to see what the hell the guy was doing at Stonehenge.
Beep...Click!
The communication device only rang once.
The other side immediately pressed the button.
It was Barton who took the initiative to reject the call. This obvious abnormal situation made Natasha frown deeply.
Refusing to answer the call could only mean one thing.
Even though Barton had absorbed the souls of dozens of criminals, he still felt exhausted after running for more than 60 kilometers in just a few hours. His legs even began to shake.
Barton was worried about the safety of Eric's life, so after a short rest and adjustment, he entered the dense forest in the valley.
As he gradually moved deeper, he found more and more messy footprints and obvious drag marks. There was even a bloodstain on the ground. It was estimated that it was left by Eric when he was being dragged.
"There's a lot of bleeding, Eric's condition is not good."
Barton quickened his pace in a hurry, following the direction of the blood stains. Soon, he saw a burning flame.
Knowing that he was approaching, Barton carefully slowed down his pace. He approached the location of the flame from the high ground of the jungle. When he came close, he found that Dr. Eric was indeed here, but he was tied to a wooden stake.
Around Dr. Eric were ten mysterious people dressed in white robes with unclear appearances.
These mysterious people were holding unknown red powder and metal sticks. On the soft soil near the fire, they drew huge concentric circles. Each circle had a position of about one person.
After drawing nine circles in a row, these mysterious people stood on each circle in a straight line.
Then a man in white robe who seemed to have the highest status came to Eric with a metal rod and said, "Now tell us, where is the intersection of the tenth line, Dr. Eric."
"I... I don't know."
Eric was dragged all the way here and was already covered in wounds. He said intermittently, "What tenth line? What are you talking about? I don't understand."
"Hehe. Don't you understand?"
The white-robed man sneered and said, "I want the tenth planet to pass through the solar system and fly over the earth!"
The tenth planet ?!
Barton's pupils shrank slightly. Looking at the concentric circles on the ground, he immediately understood what they were.
The fire in the middle symbolized the sun. The circle line was the public orbit of the nine planets in the solar system. The position where those people stood was equivalent to the nine planets. The intersection point of the ten days was 14.8 degrees!
Were these people worshipping the celestial body ?!
But at this moment, the communication device suddenly made a sound. Barton immediately pressed it down in fear.
Although the voice was not very loud, it broke the silence in the dense forest and attracted everyone's attention in an instant.
Under the light of the fire, the faces of the white-robed people were not normal. They looked like lizards one after another!
"This is bad."
Barton broke out in a cold sweat. He hated himself for forgetting to turn off the communication device.
