Chapter 1838: The Madman's Journey (Part 14)_1

"What is this?"

Helen stood on a chair in the Wakanda spacecraft's lounge, peering through the cockpit's observation window. It seemed she had spotted something next to the pilot's seat, but she couldn't quite make it out.

Spider Man walked up to the window, craned his neck for a look, and then said, "Does that thing look like a fishbowl to anyone else? Is that a Wakandan custom?"

Helen walked past him to the cockpit door, tugging at the handle and saying, "It's locked. I can't force it open, I'm afraid I'll get blown straight out."

"Let me handle this." Spider Man came back, gripped the handle, and pulled. The alloy containing Vibranium material gave a teeth-grinding creak, but in the end, it was wrenched open by Spider Man's immense strength.

The instant Spider Man opened the door, he was stiffened. Helen, too, gasped when she went over. What was hidden beneath the pilot's seat was indeed a tank, but inside it was a brain.

Spider Man cautiously walked in and was about to reach out to take it when Helen grabbed him and said, "Get back. I'll use my Divine Power to test the depths first in case that thing can brainwash people."

Spider Man knew his mental resistance was weak and obediently retreated two steps back. Helen pointed her glowing hand at the tank, and her Divine Power lifted it up.

Helen exhaled and said, "It's okay. The brain is still alive, but it doesn't have its own consciousness. It won't attack anyone."

Spider Man took the sealed fishbowl from her and looked at it closely, but he couldn't figure anything out. He then asked Helen, "Can you use that method of traveling back in time again? I want to see how it got here."

After checking the fishbowl, Helen shook her head and said, "I can only go back two hours at most. But I'm afraid this thing was made quite a while ago."

Spider Man remembered the Spider Man suit he had seen in the time-travel images, but he couldn't figure out why Spider Man had come here and left them such a cryptic message.

After thinking for a while, Helen said, "Do you know? Brainwaves are a form of radio wave. Reading brainwaves is not as difficult as you'd imagine as long as the frequencies are synced. We might be able to see the memories of this brain."

"Don't waste your Divine Power anymore." Spider Man looked around and said, "I remember that Wakanda's spacecraft, although it uses a unique Wakandan energy source, still uses electricity for some non-critical parts. We can try radio wave synchronization."

"Do you know the frequency and wavelength of this brain?"

Spider Man shook his head.

Meanwhile, in the Stark Building, Stark dozed while recovering his energy. Shiller looked at him without speaking, but Stark knew he was asking what he was thinking.

"It's not that simple." Stark said quietly, "No, no...perhaps I guessed wrong."

"What?"

"That static." Stark suddenly stood up, "The static sent by Black Panther is more than just a distress signal. I need to listen to it again."

Stark rushed to the emergency communication device and played again the communication with only a faint static sound. He turned the volume to its maximum, listened for a while, and then said with some uncertainty, "This static sound doesn't seem to be recorded."

"If, as we speculated, Black Panther was calling for help or didn't have the strength to speak, there should at least be the sound of him breathing. He wouldn't be so foolish as to call for help without providing any background noise. Even if he hit the wrong button, he should at least have recorded some ambient noise."

"But this isn't. This is just noise created by electricity." Stark said with a deep frown, "It's more like it was generated by a computer. No, it's like... a wave."

Stark immediately turned around, started searching in the desk and cabinet for paper and pen, and while listening to the static on the communication device, he began to sketch on the paper.

Soon, a somewhat crude waveform appeared on the paper. Stark muttered to himself, "Wave length...frequency...it has a pattern. What is this?"

"We don't have much time." Shiller suddenly said.

Stark turned with a somewhat dazed look.

Then, gusts of wind howled past his ears, and everything within his vision began to recede.

Suddenly, Stark seemed to realize something. He turned to look at the paper in his hand, staring intently at the pattern as if trying to etch it into his mind.

In the Wakandan spaceship, Helen stared at the brain, which had started to shake violently because of the passing electricity, with a complicated expression.

Spider Man retreated two steps back with shock and asked, "Did we do something wrong?"

"Guessing without knowing the answer, of course we'll get it wrong."

Spider Man turned to Helen and asked eagerly, "You know something, right? You've been acting strange since a certain point."

Before the howling wind echoed in Spider Man's ears, Helen stared straight at him and said, "THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME."

At the same time, Eddie found several diary entries at the bottom level of the Stark Building system. The timestamp showed that they were from just before the UFO had crashed. It seemed to be Iron Man's diary.

"Peter has been acting a bit strange lately. I don't know if it's because he had another fight with Mary Jane. What concerns me is that he has developed an intense interest in neuroscience recently.
