I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

After much thought, there was only one explanation for the scepter appearing in his pocket.

The sling ring must have been secretly placed there by the Ancient One before she left.

Honestly, why bother giving yourself gifts secretly?

What if Selena doesn't notice the ring and I fall off while walking? Wouldn't that be a huge loss?

Upon hearing Depp's explanation, Selena excitedly asked, "Do you know how to use it? When can you demonstrate it for me?"

Depp shook his head and said, "I don't know how to use the sling ring, or even how it ended up in my pocket. But I can try it out slowly, and once I've mastered it, I'll demonstrate it to you."

Selena nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice, and said, "Mmm!"

After making breakfast, Depp put the sling ring on the index and middle fingers of his left hand and closed his eyes to recall the action scenes from the movie.

He slightly raised the hand wearing the sling ring, with his right thumb, index, and middle fingers straight, and his ring and little fingers bent forward.

Then, he kept drawing circles in front of his eyes with his right hand.

After several attempts, Depp said with a touch of self-deprecation:

"Okay, maybe I don't actually have any magical talent."

"Dick, Grandy, wake up and eat!"

In the Marvel universe, the reconstruction of New York City is in full swing.

However, this had nothing to do with the Ancient One. She sat cross-legged in the New York Sanctuary, meditating with her eyes closed.

As the Sorcerer Supreme who has protected the Earth for hundreds of years, this is her daily routine.

Meditation is not just about calming your mind.

It is also to listen carefully to those voices that exist outside of reality, these disordered and noisy voices, each with its own meaning.

The Ancient One was very adept at deconstructing and reconstructing these cosmic sounds from all over the universe, even from other dimensions, into expressions that she could understand.

Of course, what the Ancient One is now focusing on listening to and feeling is the signal coming from the ring he sent to Depp.

Gu Yi closed his eyes and listened, slowly searching for the message coming from the mysteriously located ring.

However, no matter how much the Ancient One tried to send out her consciousness to search, she could not sense the ring.

This was the first time she had encountered such a situation.

Based on past experience, even in other parallel multiverses, the Ancient One can still pinpoint and hear the voices she wants to hear.

Of course, this does not mean that the Ancient One's power is at the multiverse level, after all, this is merely listening.

Suddenly, a voice rang in Gu Yi's ears.

"Okay, maybe I don't actually have any magical talent."

"Dick, Grandy, wake up and eat!"

Gu Yi: "..."

What kind of nonsense is this!

The Ancient One recognized Depp's voice. Although she didn't know why she couldn't actively contact or sense Depp's voice, she could passively hear it.

But she still followed the path of Depp's voice and tried to reply.

What did you eat?

Johnny Depp, who was showing off his millet porridge, almost choked to death when he heard the voice of the Ancient One.

After coughing for a while, he finally managed to recall in his mind: "Millet porridge, poached eggs, and cucumber pickles."

"No, how did you contact me? Through the suspension ring?"

Gu Yi was stunned when she heard this and asked in return, "I think you contacted me first. Or rather, your voice came through first."

Upon hearing this, Depp picked up a piece of cucumber and looked at the sling ring, saying, "Strange, I did try to draw a portal with the sling ring just now, but it failed completely and there was no response at all."

After hearing this, Gu Yi was momentarily at a loss for words.

She can use the sling ring to draw portals and travel freely through the multiverse.

Although she was unwilling to do so.

Even someone as powerful as the Ancient One had to admit, after countless attempts, that she could not draw the portal to Depp's location.

Therefore, the Ancient One speculated that Depp came from another multiverse.

The two exchanged a few words briefly before going back to their own business.

One was eating earnestly, while the other was meditating quietly.

After breakfast, Depp and Selena drove Dick to school together.

This little guy has been spending a lot of time with Bruce at night lately, which has led to severe sleep deprivation.

The dark circles under his eyes were so intense they made him look like a panda.

At the school gate, Depp crouched down and said to Dick, "From today onwards, you can only work with Batman on weekend nights, and you'll need to catch up on sleep during the day."

Although Dick was reluctant, he knew that Depp's dad was doing it for his own good.

Furthermore, my mental state has indeed been deteriorating lately.

The night before last, Dick almost fell off the rope.

"I understand, Daddy Depp."

Dick answered obediently.

Seeing how well-behaved the child was, Depp took out a bottle of concentrated life essence that had been diluted many times over and handed it to Dick.

"Drink it all; it will relieve your recent fatigue."

Upon hearing Depp's words, Dick picked up the milk bottle and drank it all in one gulp.

After gulping down the torrents, the blackness around his eyes immediately began to fade rapidly.

Both my physical and mental state are recovering rapidly.

"No wonder he's Johnny Depp!"

Dick thought to himself with pride.

In class, Bruce sent almost the exact same message as Depp.

To be honest, Bruce also really liked his little assistant.

After all, Robin is much more useful than Bat Dog.

Therefore, he was also very concerned about Robin's health.

In addition, he specially purchased a large quantity of supplements to nourish Dick's body.

Back home, Depp picked up the ring again and started fiddling with it. He felt that his earlier failure might have been because he had missed some important details and steps.

It doesn't necessarily mean I lack magical talent!

It's also possible that you were in the wrong posture just now!

Yes, that must be it!

After finishing her meditation, the Ancient One went to the rooftop of the New York Sanctuary to water the flowers for a while.

Then, feeling completely relaxed, I lay back in the rocking chair and picked up the chilled orange juice beside me.

Just as she took a sip of orange juice, a portal, sparkling and somewhat crooked, slowly appeared before her eyes.

"Ok?"

The Ancient One was somewhat puzzled, wondering if one of the apprentices had opened the wrong portal.

When the portal fully opens, it is not the perfect circle that everyone is familiar with, but a crooked and irregular circle.

On the other side, Depp, lying on the bed wearing bear underwear, gave an awkward but polite smile and said:

"It was quite sudden!"

Gu Yi placed the glass of orange juice on the table and smiled in response, "This is indeed quite sudden."

Suddenly a circle was drawn, and opposite it was the New York Sanctum where the Ancient One was located. To be honest, Depp was completely bewildered.

Just now, he was actually lying in bed playing mobile games.

Unfortunately, that game didn't seem to be very fun.

"Damn it, how can there be such a brain-dead game as League of Legends esports manager?"

After cursing, Depp casually picked up the sling ring next to him and put it on. Then, the image of the New York Sanctuary inexplicably appeared in his mind.

Then, Depp casually drew a circle and saw the Ancient One drinking orange juice across from him.

"Excuse me!"

Depp gestured wildly in the air with his hands, then sighed and said, "How do you turn this thing off?"

The Ancient One stood up from the rocking chair, smiled and shook her head, saying, "It seems you do have a talent for learning magic. However, mastering the use of the Sling Ring is no easy task."

After saying that, Gu Yi waved his hands, drawing various symbols in the air.

As she moved her hands, various patterns shimmering with orange-yellow light appeared in front of him.

These patterns are not the same, but they are interconnected, revealing a sense of antiquity and profundity.

After completing the entire set of movements, the Ancient One said:

“You see, this is not a skill that can be easily mastered. I think you can come to Kamar-Taj, and I can teach you myself.”

"I believe that with your talent and temperament, you will definitely master it very quickly."

The Ancient One's words made no secret of her admiration for Depp and her desire to win him over.

However, just as the Ancient One had seen countless times during her time travels, Depp did not accept her invitation.

After all, Depp possesses a superhuman level of computational and analytical speed, like a bug.

With a gentle wave of his hands, just like the Ancient One had done, countless intricate and profound runes formed in his hands.
