Chapter 4201: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (19)

~11 min read 2,044 words

Two strong figures walked out of the portal one after another. The leader turned to the one behind him and said: "You must be honest, this is not Earth. If something really goes wrong, no one can save us!"

"I know, I know. I don't know what benefits that old devil promised you, that you are working so hard for him, and you have to pull me along. I haven't even driven an excavator, and you actually let me come to an alien construction site to work..."

"I'll say it again, we're not here to work. There might be malicious aliens mixed into the construction site, we're here to catch spies."

"To put it bluntly, isn't it still working?"

These two are Johnny and Danny, two brothers. Mephisto's so-called "solution" is to get them both into the construction site to catch the dangerous person. You can't say this idea is bad, because they are indeed quite capable of fighting—these are two Ghost Riders. But clearly, neither of them likes to do this work.

First change into work clothes in the preparation room, put on a safety helmet, and then follow the S. H. I. E. L. D. agents to the post. The work they are responsible for is very simple and very boring, which is to sit on a high chair and watch the anti-gravity boom stack the wall.

They sat in the southeast corner and the northwest corner respectively, they could see each other, and they could also see the movement underneath. This was clearly arranged specifically for them, because once they found something wrong, they could directly "justice from heaven."

The two sat here for a day and didn't find any problems. In the evening, Danny was ready to go back to sleep, but Johnny held him back.

"Don't forget what we are here for, what if this guy makes a move at night?"

Danny sighed and said: "Then if he never makes a move, are we going to consume with him here?"

"This matter is what Mephisto wants to do, he won't lie to us. Choosing to let us come now shows that this guy might be impatient and will make a move soon."

"You really believe him." Danny has always had complaints about this, but he couldn't beat Johnny. The two found a corner and squatted down.

The construction site is piled with all kinds of things, and when they don't open the Ghost Rider mode, they are the appearance of ordinary humans, not so conspicuous, wearing dark clothes and squatting there, it is difficult to be discovered.

Squatting until midnight, both of them were a bit sleepy. Johnny also felt that it was estimated that nothing would happen tonight, so the two circled around the periphery of the construction site, preparing to go back to the dormitory to sleep. But just at this time, they saw a sneaky figure, seemingly walking through the middle of the construction site.

The two were immediately energized. Johnny gave his brother a gesture, and the two followed behind, bending their waists, tiptoeing, and quietly leaning towards the figure.

In order to catch a current, the two didn't pounce immediately, but hid behind a large pile of stone bricks, preparing to see what he was going to do.

The two originally thought this guy was going to sabotage, such as breaking the machine, or simply burying some explosives in the foundation, etc. However, they didn't see him make a move after waiting for a long time, but knelt there and fiddled with something.

After fiddling for a long time, this person seemed to have finished, and then prepared to leave. Johnny gave Danny a look, Danny turned and walked over to follow the person, while Johnny went to check the place where he fiddled with things.

That is not the location of the foundation, but next to the foundation, there is a small rock crack. Johnny reached in and groped, and then touched something hard and cold. He used some strength, pulled the thing out, and took a look, it was a black box.

Johnny was a bit inexplicable, but he was also afraid that this was a bomb or something, so he turned into a Ghost Rider directly, and then stuffed this thing into his arms.

On the other side, Danny quietly followed behind that guy, but the other party was very alert and discovered him almost immediately. With a "zizz," a laser shot over.

Danny took a breath, this guy actually carried weapons in violation of regulations! Sure enough, there is a catty!

He is not a person who is afraid of things, let out a low roar, flames instantly filled his whole body, and the flames jumping in the skull's eye sockets became brighter and brighter.

"You, are guilty!"

The alien screamed, and flames began to ignite on his body too. But Danny suddenly remembered that the so-called catching a thief is to catch the dirty, if he burned the person here, not only would the intelligence not be asked, but the weapon carried in violation of regulations would also be burned away, wouldn't that be troublesome?

So he terminated the judgment in an emergency. But this thing is not an ordinary flame, it can be extinguished as soon as it is said to be extinguished. The Ghost Rider flame is aimed at the sinner's soul, even if it only burned for such a moment, the alien seemed to have lost his soul, and fell straight down.

Danny took a light breath, he knew he was in trouble. But things are already like this, he can only drag the person to his brother's side. Johnny saw that the person was already in this state, and also knew that Danny was afraid that he was too heavy, and burned the person stupid directly.

He looked at the horizon, the sky was about to dawn, and he couldn't delay any longer. So he hurriedly cleared the traces—fortunately, the Ghost Rider's hands wouldn't be too bloody—just hurriedly cleaned up his footprints, and then dragged the unconscious alien to the periphery of the construction site.

Came to a place where ordinary workers would not come, Johnny took out his mobile phone to call. Danny hurriedly stopped him, and then said: "You won't tell Mephisto, right? We messed up this job, if you tell him, he will definitely deduct money!"

"Do you think I'm stupid? Of course I won't tell him. I won't give him a chance to deduct money... Hello? Dr. Schiller? Oh, yes, something happened here, can you come over to pick us up?"

Ten minutes later, a small spaceship landed on the planet. Schiller got off the spaceship, looked at the alien lying on the ground, and asked with some surprise: "What's wrong with him?"

"Burned by the Ghost Rider flame," Danny stretched out his hands in front of him, and then said, "I swear, it was only for a few seconds. Their souls are too fragile..."

Schiller walked up to check the situation helplessly, and then he found that the alien's body had no damage, but the soul had been burned away for more than half. This situation is difficult to save even if God comes.

"But we found this," Danny hurriedly gave the laser gun used by the alien to Schiller, and Johnny also handed the small black box to him.

Schiller looked at the box, and then said: "This seems to be some kind of electromagnetic interference device, which can be considered a good harvest. As for this person... forget it, take it back to the tavern first."

Schiller originally wanted to bury it on the spot, but he knew that some races would put chips in their bodies, and he didn't know if this manager had any same race coming over, in case he found the corpse along with any chip or biological signal, it would be troublesome.

The Johnny brothers moved the corpse onto the spaceship, and flew back to the tavern together. This was their first time to this tavern, and after looking around, they said: "A bit like the tavern in the TV series. Can I have a beer?"

"You go into the bar and connect it yourself," Schiller shook his head at them, and dragged the corpse to the backyard.

Just arrived at the backyard, he bumped into Pamela who was carrying a large bag of soil. The two looked at each other. Pamela said with some difficulty: "Dr. Schiller, I have to say that you have a bit of path dependence. You can't attribute the credit that Merkel didn't plant all the plants in your garden to death to the flower fertilizer you found, which is of no benefit to the cultivation of plants."

"I didn't specifically find flower fertilizer for you," Schiller said helplessly again, "Isn't this a coincidence? Besides, you should have the spirit of scientific experiment. How do you know that Gotham's soil is so special, not because of the content of special nutrients far higher than other cities?"

The two stared at each other. Pamela looked at the corpse, then at the soil under her feet, and then said: "Alright, what you said makes some sense. Then let's try, let's dig a hole there, you throw the corpse in, and then fill the soil."

"No, it will smell when it rots, it can't affect the tavern business. Has the underground project on the Grandmaster's side started? How about we dig a cellar?"

"What about the sunlight? Ah, but also, the lighting here may not be a benefit to plants, we might as well get a few ultraviolet lamps from Earth," Pamela patted her head and said, "You go call the engineering team, I'll go back to Earth to get tools."

Schiller nodded, he temporarily hid the corpse on the spaceship, and then went to find the Grandmaster. It must be said that the Elders of the Universe really have two brushes, and in just a few days, they have dug through the crust and expanded a particularly large space underneath.

Hearing that Schiller wanted to dig a cellar, the Grandmaster didn't take it as a thing at all, anyway, the underground of the tavern was originally in his plan. He waved his hand, directly hit a passage from this cavity, connected to the underground of the tavern, and expanded a very large underground space for it.

Hearing that they wanted to engage in experimental fields, the Grandmaster also artificially divided several layers for them and installed elevators. After completion, Pamela also brought ultraviolet lamps.

Schiller hadn't seen this style of ultraviolet lamp, so he asked: "What is this? Which Earth did you return to?"

"Of course it's my own," Pamela said, "This thing is modified from a Bat-Signal, and the power is much greater than yours here. I know you have an artificial sun here, but that one is not very safe, in case the plant jumps high and breaks the protective cover, it will be all over."

Schiller didn't want to argue with her about this outrageous assumption. The two worked together to spread the soil on the top layer of the cellar, and then buried the corpse in it. Pamela sighed helplessly: "It will be very smelly here next, I have to go back and get a set of protective clothing."

"It's just a corpse," Schiller shook his head and said, "It will indeed have some smell, but it won't be so exaggerated. I'll find someone to install a high-power air purifier here."

So the two were busy with their own things. This busyness lasted until the next night. Fortunately, the Johnny brothers stayed in the tavern to help, so there was no big mess.

The air purifier was also installed, and the protective clothing was also brought, so Pamela began her work. And Schiller also returned to the tavern upstairs. At this time, the night shift business was over, and a few drunk alcoholics were swaying and walking out.

Schiller tidied up the bar and prepared to go back to rest. Just as he was about to go upstairs, the phone rang.

"Hello? Dr. Schiller? It's not good, a spaceship crashed into an asteroid, can you come over and take a look?"
