My surname is Stark, who changed my job to become a female big gun?

Chapter 583: Your talents are far more extraordinary than you think...

"Stop! Right here!"

Following Lainie's order, the environment around the two people, which was originally slowly collapsing at 0.5 times the speed, suddenly stagnated. The time-stopping technique that used to only exist in science fiction movies was now clearly displayed in front of the two people.

The collapsed walls, flying bricks and stones, broken mirrors, and even the blazing flames, at this moment, were all like still photos, frozen in the air.

Only Lainie and Wanda were left. These two people, completely beyond the rules of space and time here, remained calm in this static chaos.

"what happened?"

Wanda asked confusedly, not knowing what Lainie had discovered.

This memory was almost a nightmare to her when she was young. She would feel palpitations every time she thought about it, so she never thought about whether there was anything unreasonable in this scene.

Lainie did not reply, but simply walked to the bedroom door, staring with her golden eyes, carefully looking up and down at the brother and sister who were struggling to escape from the abyss of the living room.

To be precise, Lainie's eyes were actually fixed on Pietro, who was struggling to pull her sister's arm, rather than on little Wanda, who had not yet recovered from the incident.

"Don't you think it's weird?"

"What's weird?"

Wanda followed Lainie's gaze and looked at her brother carefully, but because of her preconceived ideas, she didn't realize what was hidden in her words.

"Then you continue to play it back, but still slowly."

Lainie didn't explain, but simply gave up her seat to the other party and motioned her to look at it herself.

"Can't you just keep it a secret?"

Wanda was a little dissatisfied. She wondered why Lainie always liked to be mysterious when she spoke.
Although Wanda was confused, she did not give up and continued to do as Lainie instructed.

However, what happened next shocked Wanda so much that she almost screamed.

The brother and sister, who seemed to Wanda to be running slowly and leisurely away from the living room, suddenly became a little faster when they ran!

That's right, it's getting faster.

But this kind of speed is not as fast as the speed at which Lainie and the other girl can come and go freely now.

Rather, compared to other scenes that were still developing slowly, the brother and sister's originally difficult movements became faster.

Especially after brother Pietro and sister Wanda successfully crossed the bedroom door, the speed was raised to another level.

As a result, a piece of debris that was originally flying towards the two of them in mid-air failed to catch up with them. It just brushed past the back of Wanda's head and slowly shot past her, then embedded itself directly into the wall on her side.

It was not until Pietro, who was pulling his sister hard, rolled on the ground with little Wanda, who was still in a daze, and successfully crawled under the bed with great skill that the "speed" of the brother and sister returned to normal.

However, all this was like a thunderclap, causing a huge uproar in Wanda's heart.

"This...how is this possible?"

Wanda looked at Lainie beside her with eyes full of confusion and shock.

"This is a memory that belongs only to you, so it is true. It's just that you... no, you two brothers and sisters, have never paid special attention to it."

As she spoke, Lainie simply followed the example of the brother and sister under the bed and bent over to lie on the floor so that she could better observe their expressions at the moment.

Obviously, at this moment, neither brother Pietro nor sister Wanda noticed the fleeting abnormality just now.

The former may have been because he was in a dangerous situation and the adrenaline surging in his body had not yet dissipated, so he did not pay any attention at all.

As for the latter, he had just gotten over the panic of losing his parents and hadn't even realized how he was dragged under the bed by his brother.

"Perhaps you will think that the reason why your brother can suddenly burst out with such outrageous strength and speed is because of the adrenaline secreted in his body..."

Lainie, who was lying on the ground, looked up at Wanda, who was still in shock, and motioned for her to lie down with her, while continuing:

"But no matter whether I am the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., who specializes in dealing with supernatural things, or a researcher who has done some research on cytology, I must tell you responsibly that your talents are far more extraordinary than you think!"

Wanda was stunned when she heard this, and for a moment she didn't know how to answer.

She looked at the three people who were now lying side by side under the bed. She was stunned for a long time, and then she leaned down and lay side by side with Lainie in a daze.

Waiting for what is going to happen next.

The slowly replaying memories continued. Almost at the same time when Wanda adjusted her body shape and lay down beside the brother and sister with Lainie, the terrifying scream that was stretched out over time sounded above their heads.

squeak--!
The terrifying sound, which was already like the roar of an evil ghost, became even longer and more piercing with the passage of time, as if it was trying to pull the human soul out of the body.

Wanda, who was lying beside Lainie, closed her eyes involuntarily and covered her ears tightly with her hands, trying to block out the horrible sound.

But even so, the voice still pierced her mind like a needle, making it impossible for her to escape.

But at this moment, Lainie, who was beside her, noticed that Wanda's expression at this moment was exactly the same as the expression of fear shown by little Wanda who was hiding under the bed on the other side.

Boom-!
The metal aerial bomb broke through the ceiling and fell directly into the rubble in front of the four people. The sudden change made the three people beside Lainie tremble all over!
Little Wanda closed her eyes tightly, not daring to see what was happening. She hugged her brother Pietro's arm tightly, as if she wanted to get a little comfort from him.

However, Pietro's face was also filled with fear and anxiety, and his heartbeat echoed in his chest like a war drum, but he still tried his best to stay calm and tried to give his sister some strength.

"Don't be afraid, Wanda."

Pietro's voice was trembling, but very firm.

"No matter what happens, I will be by your side."

Little Wanda didn't respond, but she held her brother's arms tighter.

However, the expected explosion did not occur. In the silent room, only the dripping sound like the death warrant continued to echo.

The brother and sister were a little confused, so they mustered up the courage to open one eye slightly and looked towards the center of the rubble not far in front of them.

In the dim environment, a metal bomb with a flashing red light was standing crookedly one meter away from them.

The faint red light emitted from the top was particularly conspicuous in this silent space, and the continuous "beeping" sound was the countdown of the bomb. Little Wanda's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by a big hand. She bit her lower lip tightly, trying not to make her breathing too rapid, for fear that the bomb would swallow her and her brother together in the next second.

"Wanda, we...we have to get out of here as soon as possible..."

Brother Pietro widened his eyes and swallowed hard.

The bomb did not have a clear countdown like in the movies, so he didn't know how much time they had left. But the only thought in his mind at this moment was to escape with his sister as soon as possible.

"No! It will explode!"

Little Wanda hurriedly grabbed her brother who wanted to move, fearing that their movements would disturb the bomb and that she would lose her last relative in this world.

"But we can't just sit there and wait, can we?"

Brother Pietro also noticed his sister's uneasiness. Although he was also worried that his actions would affect the bomb that could explode at any time, it would not be a good idea to continue waiting like this.

“We have to do something.”

Little Wanda bit her lower lip and said nothing. She was so young and still shrouded in the fear of death that she had no idea what to do to get out of the predicament.

"How about we…we pray? Like Mom does every day when she prays for Dad to come back safely?"

Little Wanda thought of a solution that didn't require her to worry about the bomb exploding at any time, and at the same time could bring temporary comfort to the brother and sister.

Pietro frowned when he heard this. He felt that this method was a little unreliable. He was obviously more inclined to leave here as soon as possible.

However, when he saw that his sister's face had turned pale due to fear and embarrassment, brother Pietro finally followed his sister's instructions and prayed in a low voice that the bomb would not explode.

"Please, don't explode..."

"Please, don't explode..."

Lainie, who was lying on the ground, couldn't help feeling surprised when she heard the two Wandas, one big and one small, praying in unison.

I wonder if Wanda is resonating with her memory of herself?
But then, Lainie saw a jaw-dropping scene.

As the two people prayed in unison, a ray of crimson chaotic energy emanated from between their clasped hands!
However, the energy was so subtle that it was almost invisible. If Lainie had not been standing by and observing Wanda's condition, she would not have noticed this almost inaudible change.

Then, Lainie saw the two strands of crimson energy that continued to surround the hands of the two Wandas and began to extend towards the aerial bomb standing in the rubble in front of them.

After a brief entanglement, it drilled into the bomb and silently disrupted the bomb's detonation device.

Seeing this scene, Lainie couldn't help but click her tongue and said to herself, "As expected."

I thought that the chaos magic in Wanda was indeed powerful. Even though she didn't understand the basic principles of bomb detonation, she could still modify reality as she pleased.

"Oh, if only I had chosen a magician character..."

Shaking her head and getting rid of the messy thoughts in her mind, Lainie, who had already seen the result she wanted, simply reached out and pushed Wanda, who was still in a state of mind and body unity beside her.

"Wanda, wake up, wake up!"

Then, Wanda slowly stopped praying at Lainie's call and slowly opened her eyes, but there was still a hint of fear and confusion in her eyes for a moment.

"Ms. Stark, I...what happened to me just now?"

Obviously Wanda herself didn't understand what had just happened.

"You just now were in sync with your memory... um, you were in tune with your memory..."

Lainie pointed to the brother and sister who were still praying beside her.

"But that's not important. What's important is that you see——"

Lainie motioned for Wanda to look at the little Wanda in her memory. The almost invisible crimson energy between her hands was connected to the bomb in front of her that was still making a dripping sound.

"This……"

Wanda covered her mouth in surprise, as if she was afraid that her voice would disturb the other self who was still praying that the bomb would not explode.

"Obviously, I was right."

Lainie shrugged, then crawled out from under the bed and brushed off the non-existent dust on her body.

"As early as three years ago, my team and I realized that there are indeed some groups of people with extraordinary talents. When these special people come into contact with some seemingly incredible supernatural powers, the special genes they carry may be activated, allowing them to gain special abilities beyond the imagination of ordinary people."

Reaching out to pull up Wanda who was still lying on the floor, Lainie's mouth corners curved into a beautiful arc.

"And Skye, whom I introduced to you before, is the best example of this group."

"You mean to say that my brother and I, like that Skye, are also members of those extremely special groups?"

Wanda was not a fool. After Lanie's suggestion, she finally understood the other party's intention.

In fact, before this, the reason why Wanda never felt that she was so special was that the long-term peaceful life and the care of her brother Pietro never brought Wanda into the dangerous situations like she did in her childhood, and the chaotic energy hidden in his body never came out to save the day again.

The second reason is that magic, an idealistic force that relies heavily on subjective thoughts, is too dependent on the inner determination and concentration of the caster.

Unless Wanda actively and whimsically imagines that she possesses some supernatural powers, commonly known as the outbreak of the second-year syndrome.

Otherwise, the chaotic power in her body would probably disappear completely as she grows.

"That's right. Not everyone can gain superpowers by coming into contact with supernatural objects, but those who can gain superpowers are definitely not ordinary people."

Lainie waved her hand and conjured a metal obelisk from the environment, then she casually weighed it up and down in her hand.

"This is... the obelisk?"

Wanda looked at the mysterious metal in Lainie's hand with a confused look on her face. Compared to the scepter she had touched before, this thing seemed to have nothing special except for its peculiar shape.

"That's right, but it's also fortunate that this is an illusion created according to memory, otherwise I wouldn't dare to take it so recklessly, or I would turn it into stone..."
