Chapter 1374 The Call of the Stars ([-])
The team exploring the building was led by Riley and ended by Wanda the Scarlet Witch. The two strongest people in the team ensured the safety of the team. The team circled the building and finally found a place near the cliff On the one hand, a hole leading to the ground was found.
"It looks like a hole formed by the loose ground when the steeple fell. We can't be sure if there is a door in it. I want to throw a lighting stick in it, but I'm not sure if it will cause some chain reactions."
Star-Lord Quill squatted down and looked into the hole with his head, but there was only darkness inside, so he wanted to find some means of lighting.
Jarvis stepped forward, and he lightly touched the top of his brow bone. A stream of light flashed in his brown-red pupils. The terrain scanning device was turned on, and the terrain status was presented in his eyes as a blue grid.
He also walked to the side of the hole, looked at Xingjue and said, "You are right, there is indeed a hole underneath, but there is no way to tell if there is a door inside, we'd better light it up and take a look."
"Let me do it." The Scarlet Witch stepped forward, habitually wanting to use magic lighting, she stretched out her hand, and the red energy condensed into light spots.
Xingjue poked his head curiously, stood up and took a few steps, came to the Scarlet Witch, and asked: Are you a protoss? "
Obviously, most of the races he has seen in the universe that can use magical energy are protoss, Wanda shook his head and said, "No, I am a mutant."
As she spoke, the light spot in her hand became brighter and brighter. Just when Wanda wanted to send the magically lit light spot to the cave, the light spot went out with a "poof".
"What's wrong?" Jarvis looked at her with some concern and asked.
Wanda frowned and didn't speak, but tried again to condense the magical energy, but this time the light spot was not lit up, Wanda sighed and said, "I don't know, but I always feel that I can't concentrate. .”
"Is there something wrong with Sithorn, the source of chaos magic?" Jarvis asked again.
Wanda shook her head and said, "No, my connection with Sithorne is very stable, and even if I don't go through him, I can still use the power of chaos to cast magic, but I feel a little confused in thinking...Take a meditation class at Xavier College I should have listened carefully."
Wanda's complexion was not very good, she frowned slightly, and the corners of her mouth curled down, as if she lost the chain at a critical moment and made Miss Witch feel a little frustrated.
Jarvis hurriedly patted her on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, we can use flares, Mr. Quayle, just now my terrain scan information told me that there is nothing underneath, you can safely throw the lighting tools down. "
Quill nodded and said nothing. He took out a small square device from his tool bag. Judging from the materials and craftsmanship, it should have come from the Cree Empire or its subordinate civilizations.
Quill threw the small cube, which was not as big as a palm, into the cave, and with a "swish", the middle of the cave was illuminated by blue light. In the narrowness, a warm light was revealed.
"That might be a window of this building. What is that? Glass shards? It looks like the window has been broken. I think we can go in from there." Jarvis's tone was always calm, which gave everyone a great deal of surprise. sense of security.
No one blamed Wanda for her abnormal performance, because everyone except Jarvis felt a little uncomfortable. Riley exhaled and said, "My spider sense has been ringing, but it's very weak. I've never experienced it. This feeling, I am obviously not hurt, and there is no danger nearby, but it is just buzzing in my heart."
"The air flow in my body has always been a little disordered." Xu Shangqi rolled his hands, as if he didn't know how to describe his feelings in English, he reached out and touched his eyes and said, "The mind I learned in the Shenspear Bureau I can't even run a full week, it's always intermittent, but nothing is blocking my strength, I just can't concentrate."
His eyes looked to the left and to the right for a while, looking a little distracted, and Riley rubbed his arm, which was covered with goose bumps.
The way for Spider-Man to overcome his panic is to make himself move. He immediately stood up, jumped on the spot, and said: "Okay, I'll go down first, I have a spider sensor, and if there is any danger, I can also go ahead." Get out of the way."
"Let me go down with you." Wanda followed Riley and said, "I can use magic to make the two of us land quietly so as not to disturb anything. I'm sure there is something inside."
Riley didn't struggle too much, and nodded. Wanda stretched out her hands, and the red light enveloped the two of them. They flew in along the entrance of the cave, without landing all the way, and came directly to the place where the warm light appeared.
"It's so cold here." The Scarlet Witch shivered and said, "I feel it's at least 20 degrees below zero. Without the magic shield, we might not be able to move a single step."
After falling to the ground, Riley glanced at the shards of glass on the ground, then took two steps towards the place where the light spread, and then found that, as Jarvis speculated, it was a broken window.
But the light coming out of the window does not come from lamps or candles, but a gleaming light in the darkness far away.
Riley swallowed unconsciously. He instinctively felt that it was not a good idea to go deep into it. At this moment, Xu Shangqi shouted from behind: "How is it? Can we go down?!"
"Okay! There's no danger here!" Riley shouted back, but quickly added in a low voice: "But it's not necessarily the case any further."
Wanda suddenly became a little irritable. She said, "Whatever it has, let's rush in, what can it do to us? Can't my magic deal with a few monsters?"
After finishing speaking, she pulled Riley back, and then used magic to pick up the others, completely ignoring the previous formation, but leading the way, walking towards the window while saying: "Don't Make a fool of yourself and scare yourself, those ordinary agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. can handle it, can’t we? Let’s go.”
The others followed Wanda's pace, but Xu Shangqi looked around. He always felt that there were many pairs of eyes hidden in the dark environment of the cave. jade pendant.
It was given to him by Director Zheng Xian after he left SHIELD. Zheng Xian said that as long as he cooperates with the Qingxin formula that Xu Shangqi has learned before, it can help him to calm his mind and run his exercises better.
Xu Shangqi began to recite the content of the Qingxin Jue in his heart, and then circulated the Qi to his eyes, improving his vision in the dark and calming down his mind. Those eyes that seemed to be everywhere gradually disappeared, and the cave returned to its original appearance. face.
Xu Shangqi breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly someone patted him, and Xu Shangqi was so frightened that he almost jumped up from the ground. When he turned around, he saw the face of Star-Lord Quill.
Xu Shang breathed a sigh of relief, he still remembered the funny guys in the Guardians of the Galaxy, but before he had an upset stomach, he didn't bother to say hello to Xingjue, now he feels better, so he smiled and said: "Hello, your name is Peter Quill, isn't it?"
Quill nodded and said, "There are not many Asians in S.H.I.E.L.D. You should be pretty good, right?"
"I'm just an apprentice." Xu Shang shook his head angrily and said, "Riley said he wanted to do tasks to earn points, so I followed him. I don't have any skills, and even the exercises are learned on the spur of the moment."
"Boy, don't be so humble, haven't you noticed that your steps are much lighter than others?" Rocket Raccoon jumped along Quill's arm to Xu Shangqi's shoulder, and waved his paw at him.
Xu Shangqi tilted his head and looked at the raccoon on his shoulder, feeling that it was fun, so he reached out his hand to touch his head, but he took it back as if thinking of something again.
He remembered that Rocket Raccoon in the Guardians of the Galaxy had a bad temper and didn't like others to treat him as a small animal, and he was an intelligent creature, and it was a bit impolite to touch someone's head without their permission.
So, Xu Shangqi just scratched his head, showed an embarrassed smile and said: "This is the footwork taught to me by the teacher of the Shenspear Bureau. As long as the Qi is transported to the legs, walking will be easier. After all, I am relatively I'm lazy, I'm used to taking the cable car even for mountain climbing."
Unexpectedly, the raccoon stretched out its paw and touched Xu Shangqi's head, then said: "You seem to be a very polite silly boy, I will treat you to dinner when I get back."
After finishing speaking, Rocket Raccoon bounced back onto Quill's hiking bag. When Quill passed him and walked forward, Xu Shang touched his stomach angrily and frowned.
He felt that maybe he really ate too much at noon, and when he heard the word "eat", he started to feel a little nauseous again, or maybe he was a little far away from the Scarlet Witch, and he felt that it was getting colder and colder here.
Xu Shang couldn't help shivering, looked around, and felt some rustling voices in the darkness, he stretched out his hand to hold the jade pendant again, and sighed in his heart, he should really watch less horror movies when he was in college .
When Quill led Rocket Raccoon to the middle of the line, Rocket Raccoon jumped on Jarvis again, but the moment Rocket Raccoon's feet touched Jarvis's shoulder, he paused, and then pretended to shrug unintentionally. Shrugged and said, "Dude, is that girl with red hair up front your girlfriend?"
"We haven't formalized the relationship yet." Jarvis replied sternly, but Rocket Raccoon immediately waved his paw and said, "Hey! This is not going to please the girl, you should say 'I think so, but I don't know her how about'."
"Funny and polite answer." Jarvis commented, but he quickly added: "But I prefer to state the facts."
"You, a raccoon, actually taught humans how to pick up girls? Hurry up and stop jumping up and down." Quill reached out and patted Jarvis on the shoulder, showing a somewhat apologetic smile.
But who knows, Rocket Raccoon used Quill's shoulder as a jumping platform again, grabbed Wanda's cloak and jumped onto her shoulder, covered his mouth with one hand, and whispered to Wanda: "I bet, It's not the first time he's been so confused, otherwise he wouldn't be able to state such a fact, but your pricking up your ears is a bit too obvious, it's not too reserved, miss."
In the next second, Rocket Raccoon swiftly avoided Wanda's grasping hand. Wanda turned her head and stared at the raccoon who jumped on Riley's shoulder in some embarrassment, but after feeling the gaze of Jarvis looking over, He pursed his lips again, rolled his eyes slightly, and turned his head back.
"How long have they been like this?" Rocket asked, resting his elbow on Riley's head, and Riley shrugged. "It's been a long time, and it may be longer."
"Ben Riley!" Wanda raised her voice and shouted dissatisfied.
I have to admit that the crazy behavior of this raccoon seems a bit too noisy, but the behavior of a small furry animal jumping up and down and making jokes can be regarded as diluting the depressive atmosphere in the dark environment.
But as a side effect, after Rocket quiets down too, the darkness and the silence merge and become even more unbearable.
In the dark space, even the heartbeat became clearer, and after hearing the rapid heartbeat of their companions, it became even more difficult for everyone to ignore the panic in their hearts.
The short distance from the entrance of the cave to the window has become extremely long, and the unspeakable fear suppressed in the heart is like fuel condensed from liquid to solid, and a violent explosion will occur at some point.
"When we stood in front of the window and stared at the distant light point in the depths of the darkness, the silence was like a silent ocean wave, and one fear after another washed over the high wall in everyone's heart.
Each of us understands what the hesitation that comes at the same time comes from. The only thing that can overcome human yearning for light is the fear of darkness, perhaps not darkness, but the unknown.
I can clearly hear their heartbeats getting faster and faster, and their breathing getting faster and faster.
Perhaps it is the instinct of a certain part of the beast in the human body that teaches us how to fight from the primitive and wild. When fear wants to break into and domesticate our body, the faster beating heart and faster blood flow will make us To get rid of the depression, the physiological response urges us to be excited, to stand up and struggle to survive.
Curiosity, prying, fear, struggle.
At this moment, I understood how we weak creatures, like scum, were swallowed by the eddy of the ocean and fell into the dark hole of boundless despair. "
