Seventy years ago in New York, the AllSpark Company's original location had been a movie theater before it was renovated. If he hadn't checked a map, Luo Xia wouldn't have known.
He had indeed been transported to the location of the AllSpark Company. Unfortunately, while the place was right, the time was wildly off.
Even now, Luo Xia still found it hard to accept that he had returned to the past, seventy years earlier.
"At long last, I'd found something I wanted to do, made a few friends, and gathered a group of loyal subordinates. And now... Gustav, aren't we both incredibly unlucky?" Luo Xia complained to his only subordinate at the moment.
Gustav: "..."
Luo Xia couldn't help covering his face with one hand. Why had it specifically been this lump of metal, Gustav, who'd been transported with him? Even Luo Fei, unreliable as he was, would have been better. At least Luo Xia could have had a few words with him.
If he'd been sent here all alone, he might well have forgotten Gustav was even there as he walked along.
Still, fortunately, things hadn't reached the point of despair.
Because just after he'd been transported here and met Rogers, Luo Xia had also received a message from seventy years in the future.
It was a message from the Ancient One: "Dark Ritual."
It was just those two words, but Luo Xia understood what she meant.
The Ancient One could control the Time Stone and reverse time. She might not be able to twist the flow of time across the entire universe, but she could create a brief time loop, like when Luo Xia had repeatedly revived in the same spot.
So the Ancient One had a way to bring him back to seventy years in the future.
