Chapter 511: The Plot Thickens
Chapter 511: The Plot Thickens
Death god
Tony's expression changed drastically, and his pupils trembled imperceptibly.
In the 1985 era, another death god appeared, and it happened to be related to this incident, causing two unrelated things to suddenly be connected!
"What are you spacing out for? Hurry up and see what happened!"
Potts did not notice anything unusual about Tony, but instead urged him to hurry up and turn the page.
Although she did not think it was true from the bottom of her heart, she was already deeply attracted by the contents of this book. She could not wait to see what happened next. How did Eileen escape and how she cracked the terrifying angel statue?
"... Why is it gone?"
Tony flipped to the next page and found that the contents were blurry.
Not only that, the most crucial part of the book seemed to have been soaked in water. The ink completely turned into black spots. Even modern high-end handwriting repair technology could only sigh in the face of such a situation.
This situation stunned the two of them for a few seconds.
When they saw that the climax had suddenly been broken, and there was nothing more to say after hanging up the person's appetite, it was so uncomfortable that it was like scratching the heart and scratching the lungs. They wanted to drag the person in charge of keeping the book out and use sword to cut it into minced meat!
However, he still found a line on the last page of the book, which was the cover.
It was the address of a private bank, a yellowing key, and the number of a safe. It was clear that Erin Card's mind had been taken into this bank, and she had specially left behind an item, hoping that he could take it out.
Pa ---
After closing the book heavily, Tony's expression became extremely ugly. He recalled the contents described in the book, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes.
The follow-up content of this book depicted something that was beyond common sense, something that caused the foundation of modern science to collapse, something that almost defied the rules, a terrifying statue that devoured humans!
Potts was deeply shocked by the contents of the book. After a long silence, she realized that Tony did not say a word. She frowned and thought about something, so she asked curiously, "Tony, are you still thinking about the things in the book?"
"I am thinking, what is the purpose of Irene doing this? What does she want to convey to me?" Tony habitually leaned on the sofa, crossed his legs, and muttered, "A key and a book, not just to tell us about this matter. There should be other intentions."
"Do you want to go and take a look?" Potts hesitated for a moment and said, "Although all of this is absurd, what if it is true? Since you want to know the information she conveyed, why don't you go to the bank to take a look? Maybe you can find something new."
"You're right, Potts." Tony stared at the key for a few seconds, then stood up and said, "Since you want to know what happened, then go and see what Irene left for me."
No matter what Irene left behind, he had to go and see!
In fact, there was one thing that Tony did not tell Potts. Since Irene disappeared in New York, it meant that the moving statue would most likely appear anywhere in New York City!
Who knew where that terrifying thing would appear in New York in the next second?
If they left the current Stark Building, Potts and even anyone would be in danger. At the very least, Tony believed that with the current security system, it would be impossible to stop such a terrifying thing.
Therefore, no matter what, he had the obligation and necessity to solve and investigate this matter!
"Jarvis, get me a car and contact the Citibank manager."
After instructing Jarvis, Tony turned to look at Potts. He was a little worried about her being alone, so he said, "Potts, you come with me. From now on, you are not allowed to leave my sight."
Potts saw the worry in Tony's eyes and suddenly felt a little uneasy. She asked, "Tony, do you think the contents of this book are real?"
"Potts, there are many things in this world that you can't understand, so please believe me. Don't leave my line of sight." Tony let out a heavy breath and tightened his grip on Potts's hand.
He held it very hard and his palms were sweating. Potts's mood suddenly became heavy and she nodded subconsciously. "I know, I won't leave your line of sight. Tony, don't worry."
Tony nodded, and then brought Potts downstairs.
...
...
...
A moment later, the two drove to Citibank.
This was one of the oldest private banks established in the United States. It had high confidentiality, so it was loved by the rich and powerful politicians. A lot of shady things were stored in this bank.
The manager who was in charge of the reception enthusiastically led the two of them in and introduced their business.
As the person in charge of Stark Industry, no matter where they went, they were always the focus of attention. It could even be said that it was some kind of trend. In the past, Citibank had begged and hoped to cooperate with Stark Industry, but they were all mercilessly rejected by Tony.
This time, these two suddenly came to Citibank, and even if they did not handle any business, their stock prices could rise a bit tomorrow. This is the so-called celebrity effect.
Tony was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, he directly took out the key: "Take me to this safe."
The manager looked at the key and found that it was a Citibank in 1935. It was specifically designed for the upper-class society at that time. Although he did not know how Tony got it, he was smart and did not ask too much.
After all, the private storage cabinet of Citibabk only looked at the key and not the person. Even if the person wanted to take things away, as long as there was no key, the bank would not recognize it.
Soon, the three people came underground and were in charge of the storage cabinet.
After verifying the manager's personal information, they entered this storage cabinet that had a hundred years of history. The owners of most of the cabinets here had already turned into dead people and no one would come to collect them, so it had not been opened for a long time.
"Let me take a look." The manager identified the number of the keys, then led the two of them to a storage cabinet in the deepest corner. He said, "Mr. Tony, Ms. Potts, your things are in this cabinet. I will leave for a while. Please come out as soon as possible."
After watching the manager leave, Tony and Potts looked at each other. After taking a deep breath, they slowly inserted the key into the keyhole.
* CHI *
The storage cabinet, which was about the height of a person, slowly opened with the sound of the machine expanding.
However, to their surprise, what was placed inside the storage cabinet was actually an angel statue that was covering its face and crying!
Whoosh!
In almost an instant, Tony and Potts's hair stood on end!
No one had expected that there was an angel statue sealed in the underground vault of the Citibank!
Irene... Tony thought to himself. What exactly was she trying to do?
