Chapter 391 Attention! The Terrigen Crystal Has Been Activated!
Suppressing the fear in her heart and wiping the sweat from her forehead, Skye tremblingly placed her hand on the mysterious 084 obelisk.
The moment of contact, there was a feeling of coldness, which seemed to be no different from ordinary metal creations.
But before Skye could breathe a sigh of relief, an inexplicable heat suddenly came from the obelisk!
Feeling the abnormality, Skye subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand, but the obelisk seemed to be stuck to her hand, and it was "sucked" out of the suitcase close to Skye's palm!
"Shit!"
Unexpectedly, this would be the result. Skye was so anxious that he uttered a curse word, and then planned to swing his arm to throw the obelisk down.
"Don't panic!"
When Leni saw this, she immediately reached out and held Skye's shoulders, telling her not to worry, it was not the time to give up yet.
"But……"
Skye wanted to argue, but looking at Leni's serious and encouraging eyes, she finally swallowed her words of giving up.
Forget it, just die!
Give it a try and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle!
Just like what Mester had just experienced, the energy of the obelisk quickly spread upwards through Skye's arms to his shoulders. The only difference was that the petrification seemed to spread faster this time!
At this moment, huge red fonts suddenly filled Leni's sight, and the radar system was triggered!
"Ding! Attention! The Terrigen Crystal has been activated! Attention! The Terrigen Crystal has been activated!"
activation? Holy shit! You're going to suffer, you're going to suffer! ! !
Suddenly realizing what was about to happen, Leni couldn't care less about Skye and immediately shouted to the big guy:
"The energy of the obelisk is about to explode! Everyone, leave quickly!"
Without waiting for others to have time to react, Leni grabbed Fitz beside her and strode towards the cabin door!
Others reacted quickly. For example, Meister immediately grabbed Simmons beside him and ran out of the door in three steps and two steps at a time.
Colson took a step slower, but luckily he moved quickly. He simply jumped from the chair and managed to catch up with the two people in front of him.
Only Skye, who had not yet come to his senses, could neither run away nor escape for a moment. He stood there in confusion, not knowing what to do.
"No! What about me! What should I do!!!"
"Just stay still! That thing can't hurt you!"
At the last second of the system upgrade countdown, Leni turned around and shouted loudly at Skye to stop her, and finally, with Skye's desperate eyes, she completely closed the isolation hatch of the laboratory.
"But……"
Skye almost cried, how could she be so unlucky!
Before she could finish her words, there was a bang, and the obelisk in her palm suddenly opened on its own, revealing the blue crystal inside!
At the same time, a puff of light blue smoke spread rapidly, giving Skye no chance to think. The next second, the smoke completely enveloped Skye's body.
"NO!"
Skye only had time to utter this exclamation, and then she completely turned into a stone sculpture!
Through the transparent isolation hatch, everyone who witnessed what just happened couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Thanks to Leni's timely reminder, otherwise everyone might have been involved in the mysterious light blue smoke.
"Skye, will she be okay?"
Fitz, who was lifted out like a chicken by Leni, swallowed his saliva and asked with a little fear.
If it hadn't been for Leni just now, with her own skills, I'm afraid she would have become Skye by now.
"She's fine, I think the obelisk has taken effect on her."
With the help of the observation of the active radar system, Leni can clearly sense the heartbeat of Skye, who is currently in a petrified state.
Unlike Meester's previous experiment, Skye's heartbeat did not become weaker and weaker like Meester's. On the contrary, her heartbeat rate was very stable, and it seemed to be gradually rising!
"Simmons, life check, observe Skye's health!"
Coulson understood the meaning of Leni's words and couldn't help but feel a little happy. If Skye can really gain superpowers, then maybe they will have a chance to solve the 084 mystery hidden in her body!
After hearing this, Simmons realized the importance of the matter and hurried upstairs to get his holographic tablet.
She couldn't help but be secretly happy for Skye. If Skye really gained superpowers, would she also be witnessing a new biological miracle?
"Vital signs are normal! Respiratory system is normal! Except for her heart rate being over 200 beats, she doesn't look weird!"
Running quickly down the stairs, Skye completed the entire process of biological miracle. Simmons didn't want to miss a moment now. Even if she would watch the video again and again afterwards, she definitely didn't want to miss every second of watching it with her own eyes!
"Petrification seems to only appear on her body surface?"
Mestre frowned. The petrification effect she felt just now was obviously different from Skye's now. That bone-shattering feeling of powerlessness was clearly a manifestation of the petrification effect completely invading the body!
In this regard, Leni just gave a simple explanation:
"She is different."
Mester nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this, with a trace of amusement flashing imperceptibly on his face.
"Interesting, this world is getting more and more interesting~"
At this moment, Fitz, who had been keeping a close eye on Skye's situation, suddenly noticed something strange and couldn't help but remind her:
"Look! The crystal in Skye's hand seems to be shrinking!"
Everyone looked over and saw that, as expected, the blue crystal that was originally wrapped in the metal shell of the obelisk had shrunk visibly!
"Skye is absorbing the energy of the crystal. I think... when she absorbs all the crystals, she should be out of the petrified state."
Laini squinted her eyes and estimated the time.
"According to the current rate, it should take about... half an hour."
Everyone nodded. Since Lainie said so, the few people who always believed in Lainie's judgment couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
On the other hand, Coulson, while Simmons and others were concentrating on recording Skye's current state, secretly gave Lainie a look, indicating that she should talk to him alone.
Laini didn't ask much, and simply walked to the side with Coulson, folding her arms and waiting for Coulson's next words.
"How feasible do you think it is to enhance the agents through the obelisk?"
Sure enough, it is clear that Coulson will ask this question without thinking. After all, the problems within SHIELD have not been fully exposed. Coulson will naturally think about how to improve the combat effectiveness of SHIELD agents.
Laini did not answer Coulson's question directly, but looked down at the phone in Coulson's hand.
"Is this what you want to ask, or does Egghead want to ask?"
Obviously, Coulson has reported Skye's current situation to Egghead, and the phone is still in the call state, which can prove it.
Colson pondered for a while, and finally chose to confess.
"Both, but the director hopes to improve the strength of SHIELD in this way. After all, you know that the bureau now has one..."
"Then my opinion is, NO!"
Laini did not give face to Coulson because it was Coulson. SHIELD still has an obelisk in its hands. It is true that there was an incident of petrification caused by an experimenter accidentally touching it before.
Even before Skye's incident, the bureau had never expected that the obelisk could really give people superpowers!
"Just like the previous Cosmic Cube incident, everything has cause and effect. If we really rely on the obelisk to mass-produce superpower agents, then some unexpected things will definitely happen because of the obelisk!"
Laini's attitude was very firm. She knew everything about the obelisk. Not to mention what would happen to Skye's mother, just to say that a certain Inhuman kingdom hidden on the back of the moon would definitely not allow SHIELD to use the Terrigen crystal at will!
And most importantly, it was about the Inhumans. There was a famous big event in Marvel's history. Maybe everyone would die for it!
As if reminded by Lainie's statement, the person on the other end of the phone in Coulson's hand hung up the call after a short silence.
Seeing this, Coulson couldn't help but sigh.
"Sorry, it's my duty."
Laini shook her head when she heard it, indicating that she didn't care.
"It's okay. I understand. If Egghead really intends to mass-produce super-powered agents, then what's the difference between him and General Ross?"
Coulson nodded. In fact, he didn't think the director would really do that. It was just out of duty that he had to ask everything for him.
"I hope Skye will be the first and last super-powered person in the bureau to be created through the Obelisk..."
