"Hey, you in the red cloak, I have a question for you."
In the gloomy underground cavern, Yang Tao prepared to give Doctor Strange a chance. After all, he wasn't some evil person; at most, he was a bit acquisitive. Who wouldn't be tempted to see how much other items could sell for when they saw an energy value prompt on an item?
Doctor Strange and Parker's gazes were drawn over. Yang Tao leaned against the wall of the magic prison and said with a smile:
"Hearing what you just said, can I assume that the trouble we are currently facing is due to your selfish motives?"
He walked to the magic barrier, looked at Doctor Strange, and smiled:
"Just like me, I was doing nothing in my home lab, yet I was dragged into this world by you and imprisoned in this strange cell. You in the red cloak, shouldn't you give us some compensation?"
That was the situation, but Doctor Strange would never admit he was wrong.
"This is just a small accident. Don't worry, you will soon return to your own world, and then everything will be as if it never happened."
"Then… if I do something wrong, can I just say sorry to you?"
Hearing Doctor Strange's shameless words, Yang Tao showed no sign of anger on his face. Instead, a brilliant smile appeared: "Please, give me a chance, I really want to be a good person…"
But Doctor Strange wouldn't give him that chance, saying: "After I send you back, you can choose your own path."
Upon hearing this, Yang Tao sighed, looking at Doctor Strange with pity: "I gave you a chance… Doctor Strange."
This time, Doctor Strange showed a surprised expression, looking at Yang Tao: "You know me?"
This time, Yang Tao stopped speaking, simply sitting down in a corner of the underground prison.
Seeing his uncooperative demeanor, Strange lost the desire to continue talking and turned to Parker, saying: "Kid, we must resolve this matter."
With that, the two turned and left the underground cavern.
Seeing them leave, Doctor Octavius asked through the magic wall: "What should we do?"
"Of course, it's time for happy plundering!"
He pulled out the Lever and placed it against the wall. With a gentle pull, the magic wall that had risen slowly dissipated, and Yang Tao strode out of the prison.
He walked to Doctor Octavius's cell, used the Lever to release him, and said with a smile: "We have to go back, otherwise not only will this world have problems, but our own world will also have problems. But before we go, we must first find some compensation for ourselves."
It felt like you were at home, and suddenly someone broke in and took you away, then imprisoned you in a gloomy basement, and even said it was for the safety of the world, and they would send you back later.
Yang Tao didn't believe such shameless words even when he watched Naruto.
"Compensation?"
"Everything except the floor, ceiling, and walls is compensation…"
With that, Yang Tao walked towards the stairs. For him, all valuable items were upstairs.
…
Yang Tao's 'moving' speed was incredibly fast, and he seemed exceptionally familiar with it. Wherever he had been, whether it was decorations, display cases, exhibits, or even the carpet underfoot, everything vanished into thin air.
Doctor Octavius's mouth slightly opened as he watched the luxurious hall turn into a bare room.
"Yang, why do I feel you are so…"
Yang Tao, who was tapping the wooden handrail of the stairs, heard Doctor Octavius's words and said with a smile: "Familiar?"
Doctor Octavius nodded gently.
"No particular reason, just skilled."
Thump thump…
"Too bad, this isn't good wood. Never mind, let's go upstairs and see."
As he went upstairs, he explained to Doctor Octavius: "I'm telling you, this place is so much better. Unlike the Backrooms levels I was in before, I hadn't even picked up much junk before those level consciousnesses couldn't hold back and kicked me out one by one."
"Aren't you afraid that strange wizard will come back for you?"
Hearing Doctor Octavius's words, Yang Tao almost laughed out loud and said directly, with righteous indignation: "We're in the right, what are we afraid of?!"
After cleaning up the upstairs, Yang Tao stared at the huge circular skylight. This window could be said to be one of the landmarks of the New York Sanctum.
"Yang, do you want the window too?"
Yang Tao shook his head and said: "Doctor Otto, this window is not simple. Under specific conditions, one can see other universes through this window."
"However, let's leave it for Strange."
Returning to the underground cavern with Doctor Octavius, Yang Tao looked at the lone Lizard in the cell and then turned to Doctor Octavius, who was preparing to go back to the magic prison, and asked: "Guess who this Lizard is?"
"Curt Connors."
"Damn, how did you know that?"
"You habitually call me Doctor Octavius and call Connors Professor Connors. But now I'm curious about one thing: without you, would Professor Connors turn into this monster, and what would happen to me?"
Bang!
The Lizard heard Otto's words, angrily raised his hand, smashed it on the magic barrier, and roared: "Otto Octavius, you are the monster! You don't even know that I am the future of humanity."
"Great power, unparalleled regenerative ability, and…"
"A green bald head and the intelligence of a Lizard?"
Yang Tao glanced at the raving Lizard and said faintly to Otto: "Do you want me to open the magic barrier so you can have a heart-to-heart talk with him?"
The kind that involves fists to flesh.
Otto said with a smile: "Forget it, compared to this guy, I'd rather communicate with the Connors I know."
"I'll bring them over in a moment. Oh, and Harry Osborn and our pajama baby. Once things here are settled, we'll all go to the world I mentioned before, so I don't have to go around looking for people again."
"As for your story… You'll know once you see the Spider-Man from another world."
While Doctor Strange and Parker were outside looking for other intruders, Yang Tao opened the wooden door and went to other worlds to start pulling people in.
Not much time passed.
The vanished wooden door reappeared in the New York Sanctum's underground cavern.
Yang Tao, like a professional Guide, said to Professor Connors, Harry, and Parker behind him: "This is considered a parallel world to yours, only this one is more chaotic."
Then he looked at Harry Osborn and said earnestly: "The main point is you, Harry. The Norman Osborn from the parallel world has also been pulled into this world…"
"If you miss him, you can take him back and raise him, but of course, you'll have to solve his mental split problem first."
Harry Osborn: "???"
He was pulled over by Yang Tao and even equipped with an upgraded Green Goblin suit. Now you're telling me I'm here to find my dad?
"Mr. Yang, my dad is dead. I buried him myself. Even if they look similar, they are not the same person."
"Alright, your dad, your decision."
Yang Tao smiled indifferently, pointed his finger at the Lizard imprisoned in the glass case, and said to Professor Connors: "That guy is you from a parallel world. I'll put him and you together later. Whether you want to use him as experimental material or restore him to normal to be your assistant is fine."
Curt Connors, who had already regenerated his limbs, took out a vial of liquid from his pocket and said with confidence: "If it really is me from a parallel world, I think it's better to keep him as an assistant. After all, I'm also a pretty good genius."
