Chapter 157 Wanda's Lightning-Fast Change of Heart! Iron Man Locates Ultron's Lair!

Lin Jie stood outside the glass case, staring at the Scarlet Witch inside, who was crying her eyes out, and felt completely numb.

"Hey lady, this isn't fair, is it?" Lin Jie's face darkened. "You were the one yelling and shouting for me to go all out just now. Now that you can't beat them, why are you crying?"

We're all just trying to make a living, can't we even handle this much?

Lin Jie waved his hand and dispelled the mirror space.

Whoosh!

The glass dome vanished instantly.

Wanda, now free, gasped for breath.

She hastily wiped the tears from her face with her sleeve, her swollen red eyes fixed on Lin Jie, her gaze full of accusation.

"You bastard!" Wanda sobbed, "I admit your magic is powerful! I can't break your barrier. But you can't lock me up like a specimen!"

Lin Jie spread his hands, looking completely innocent. "Big sister, isn't this just a friendly spar? I have to show you my true skills, right? Besides, that move I just used was specifically designed to deal with Ultron. Letting you experience it beforehand is a way to reassure you, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Wanda's crying stopped abruptly.

She blinked her red eyes, looking at Lin Jie with some surprise: "That move you used to lock me up just now... was it meant to deal with Ultron?"

"Yes, this is called a mirror space," Lin Jie nodded and explained. "This is just the basic version. Once we find Ultron, I'll make a larger version and seal off the entire area. That way, it won't be able to escape."

The voice just fell.

A miraculous scene unfolded.

Wanda, who was crying just a second ago, instantly lost all her grievances.

She even tidied her messy hair, and her expression returned to its previous capable and cold demeanor.

"I see." Wanda nodded, and said seriously, "I just tried it, and this space is indeed very hard. I couldn't break it even with all my strength. If that's the case, I acknowledge your strength. Your plan is feasible."

Lin Jie was dumbfounded.

Is her expression changing that fast?!

Women are indeed more unreasonable than magic.

Thanos, who was lying next to him, was also dumbfounded.

It now seriously suspects that the mental state of all people on Earth is not quite normal.

"Let's go, I'll take you to find Stark."

Wanda turned around and led the way.

Lin Jie followed behind Thanos.

Two people and a snake roamed the ruined streets of Sokovia.

After walking for a while, Wanda suddenly slowed down.

She didn't turn around, but said in a low voice, "I'm sorry about earlier."

Lin Jie was taken aback: "What are you sorry about?"

Wanda sighed, "Actually, I shouldn't have cried. It's just that being locked in that small space reminded me of some things from my childhood."

"When my brother and I were young, war broke out in Sokovia. A bomb destroyed our house. We were trapped in a small corner under the rubble for two days and two nights. We looked at our parents' bodies, unable to move at all."

Wanda's voice trembled slightly: "So, I have a psychological aversion to small, enclosed spaces. Just now, when you shrunk the space so much, I couldn't control my emotions."

It turned out to be the case.

Lin Jie suddenly realized what was going on.

No wonder Master Gu Yi said she was emotionally unstable.

Childhood trauma is indeed difficult to overcome.

Lin Jie knew she was trying to save face, so he pretended to be clueless: "Huh? Were you crying just now? I didn't see it. I was just looking at the scenery."

Hearing Lin Jie say that, Wanda turned around and looked at him, a relieved smile finally appearing on her previously tense face.

The two walked a few more blocks and arrived at a dilapidated semi-basement factory.

"We're here," Wanda said, pointing ahead.

As soon as he finished speaking, the factory's iron gate was pushed open.

Stark, dressed in an expensive suit and carrying a silver metal briefcase, swaggered out.

"I could hear your footsteps from afar." Stark's eyes lit up when he saw Lin Jie, and he immediately came to greet him. "Buddy, you've finally arrived. This is the EMP bomb I worked on overnight, it's absolutely powerful."

Stark handed the box to Lin Jie, his gaze shifting to Wanda.

Seeing Wanda's swollen eyes, Stark's old habit of being sarcastic kicked in again: "Hey, ma'am, why are your eyes so red? Did you just encounter some monster and cry?"

The moment those words were spoken, the surrounding temperature instantly dropped to freezing.

Wanda's face, which had just held a hint of a smile, instantly turned icy cold.

She stared intently at Stark, her eyes filled with undisguised hatred.

Lin Jie inwardly cried out in alarm.

Stark really knows how to bring up the most sensitive topics!

The missile that destroyed Wanda's house clearly bore the "Stark Industries" logo. In Wanda's eyes, Stark was the indirect murderer of her parents.

"Does whether I cried or not have anything to do with solving Ultron?"

Wanda's tone was icy, as if she were looking at a dead person.

Stark was taken aback by the retort. He also sensed the murderous aura emanating from Wanda, and coughed twice, trying to ease the awkwardness: "Uh, it's really okay. I was just asking casually."

To break the deadlock, Stark quickly turned to Lin Jie: "By the way, did you bring your self-recharging magical armor? This is going to be a tough battle, don't mess it up."

"Don't worry, I've been wearing it the whole time." Lin Jie patted his chest. He had already set the armor to stealth mode, which could be activated at any time.

"That's good." Stark breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, Stark's wrist communicator vibrated rapidly.

Stark glanced down at the screen, his relaxed expression instantly turning extremely serious.

"Guys."

Stark looked up, his eyes sharp as he stared at Lin Jie and Wanda.

"Ultron has been found!"
