Inside the room, Green Goblin and Scarlet Witch sat on opposite sides, each wearing a brainwaves link device crafted by Mark. The difference was that Scarlet Witch's seat was extremely comfortable, equipped with cushions and pads to meet comfort needs.
On the other hand, Green Goblin wasn't as comfortable. Not only was he disarmed, but he was securely fastened to an interrogation chair. To prevent him from waking up midway through the plan, breaking free from his restraints, Mark had tightly bound him with graphene ropes, making him look like a big dumpling.
"Are you ready? I'm about to initiate the brainwaves link device," Mark asked Scarlet Witch as he stood in front of the control panel.
"I'm ready. We can start whenever," Scarlet Witch nodded with determination evident in her expression.
"Alright. Once the plan begins, I will guide your consciousness into a virtual world. Initially, you might feel a slight dizziness, but this process is brief. Once the dizziness subsides, you will see a gateway in front of you.
Enter through the gateway, and inside is the room containing Green Goblin's memories. Your task is to flip through his memory scenes like viewing surveillance footage and find information about the regenerative serum.
You can close your eyes now. The brainwaves link device will help you enter deep sleep and establish a connection between both of your consciousnesses."
Scarlet Witch followed Mark's instructions and slowly closed her eyes. Under the influence of the brainwaves link device, she gradually entered a state of drowsiness.
However, her peaceful slumber didn't last long. Before she knew it, she experienced the dizziness that Mark had mentioned. It felt as if her consciousness was being pulled out of her body and thrown into a rapidly spinning whirlpool, where the boundaries between sky and earth seemed to vanish, blending into a blur.
Fortunately, just as Mark had said, the uncomfortable dizziness didn't last too long, though it still took her a while to recover from the queasiness in her stomach.
Once again feeling the solid ground beneath her feet and the stillness of her surroundings, Scarlet Witch had never imagined that such a sensation could feel so precious.
She silently swore to herself that if she had a chance to do it over, she would rather endure the chaos and negative emotions from Green Goblin's mind rather than go through this disorienting state again.
After the complaints subsided, the mission had to continue. After all, she had managed to endure the unbearable dizziness, and if she couldn't complete the mission now, all the sacrifices she had made would truly be in vain.
Turning her head to look around, Scarlet Witch immediately spotted the large door Mark had mentioned. Approaching the door, she pushed it open and entered the room. The room was dimly lit, but she could still make out all the items and furnishings inside.
In front of her was a wooden office desk with a disk array placed on top of it. Next to it was an inactive management computer. "It really is just like viewing surveillance footage," Scarlet Witch mused.
Seeing the environment inside the room, Scarlet Witch didn't waste much time. She directly activated the management computer and began searching for key information related to the regenerative serum in Green Goblin's memories.
She first filtered out the memory segments of Green Goblin from the time of the Seoul battle until the present, then accelerated the playback speed for examination.
After an unknown amount of time had passed, although there were occasional pieces of information related to the regenerative serum in the footage, they didn't hold significant relevance for Mark's research on an antidote.
By the time she had gone through all the memory scenes from this period, she hadn't found the content she needed.
"Let's take a look at the earlier memory segments, there might be something we missed." Given the gravity of the situation, Scarlet Witch couldn't afford to be careless. Besides, she had endured quite a bit of torment for this mission; she couldn't just let it go like that.
Continuing to rewind, starting from the accidental death of Green Goblin's son during the Seoul battle and moving backwards in time, Scarlet Witch finally struck gold.
She saw the incident that had occurred before Norman Osborn became Green Goblin, involving an accident at Osborn Industries and the covert confinement of Dr. Curt Connors, who had transformed into a lizard-like creature, in the Osborn estate.
"I've finally found it!" Scarlet Witch had no idea how long she had been in front of the monitor. Since she was in a state of consciousness, hunger wasn't something she felt, and time within the virtual world flowed at an unusually slow pace.
In this desolate and solitary space, persevering and staying focused on her task wasn't an easy feat. So, when she finally found the crucial information, her excitement was understandable. It meant she could finally leave this dreadful place.
...
In the real world, Mark stood in front of the control panel, attentively observing the data of Scarlet Witch's mental fluctuations on the screen. If any abnormality occurred in the data, which could potentially cause serious harm to Scarlet Witch's psyche, Mark would immediately terminate the plan and separate her consciousness from the projection of Green Goblin's memories.
Fortunately, up to this point, apart from the initial phase of consciousness detachment when Scarlet Witch's mental state had been fluctuating slightly, all the data remained stable.
"Hmm! Is she about to come out?"
Suddenly, the mental data displayed on the screen exhibited intense fluctuations. Mark was well aware that these were mental tremors that occurred when the consciousness was leaving the virtual world.
Blinking her eyes open, Scarlet Witch paid no mind to her current mental condition and immediately spoke, "In Norman Osborn's underground chamber! Green Goblin has sealed all items related to the regenerative serum there!"
"Alright, I've got it. I'll convey this information to the Captain and Pete shortly. For now, you should rest well. Spending an extended period in a virtual space, examining someone else's memories, places considerable strain on your psyche.
Get a good night's sleep; the remaining Avengers will take care of what's to come. By the time you wake up, everything will surely be resolved."
"Mmm..." Scarlet Witch merely murmured softly in response, and she had already drifted off to sleep, her fatigue evident on her face.
"Baymax, ensure that Wanda has a pleasant dream on my behalf. Let's consider it a reward for her hard work."
"No problem, Master!"
Glancing at Scarlet Witch, who now wore a sweet smile due to the dreams conjured by Baymax, Mark smiled faintly and left the room with Green Goblin.
"Next, it's all up to the efficiency of the Captain and the others..."
