"Are you scared?"

On the spaceship, Dior, who had already set up the automatic flight mode, turned to look at the two who were comforting each other and asked.

"There are some."

After a brief pause, Smith spoke suddenly.

Hearing him say this, his wife once again clenched his hand hard, and her eyes were already filled with tears, full of reluctance.

Smith reached out and put his arm around his wife, feeling her heartbeat, his eyes full of affection.

If he could, he would love to live happily ever after, family, lover, friends, children...

But the heavens seemed to play a joke on him, first taking everything from him, and then taking away what little life he had left.

If Dio hadn't found him and given him such a chance to finally fulfill his responsibilities as father and son, perhaps the only thing that awaited him would have been a month later and he left in the hospital room coldly.

It was Christian Dior who gave him the last value in life.

So he never had any resentment, but his reluctance to his wife and family made him extremely painful.

How he wanted to see his lovely child again, how he wanted to say sorry to his parents again, but he never had that chance again.

"You're a hero, your kids, your parents will be proud of you."

Dior, who had no choice, said very sincerely.

Maybe not many people will know his name, but his family will know what he did with his last life, he was the hero who saved the entire universe, and his family would be proud and proud of him.

Smith's uneasy expression gradually calmed down, replaced by a bright glow.

It turns out that mortals... It can be so great!

"Thank you!" Smith thanked Dior very solemnly.

"No, it's me who needs to thank you. I'm not great at all, I can't convince myself to make sacrifices, and I don't want to sacrifice the people around me, so after looking for so many candidates, I finally chose you. No matter how much I try to make all kinds of high-sounding excuses for myself, it's an indisputable fact that I'm forcing you to die, so don't thank me, as long as you don't resent me. ”

Dio sighed, disdainful of whitewashing.

"I understand what you say, Monsieur Dior, you are a good and sincere man. I don't have a few days to live anyway, so instead of wasting the rest of my time in the hospital and suffering endless pain every day, I might as well do something useful with this crippled body. To be able to help you and help the Avengers save the world, I believe that if my children find out, they will be proud of me! ”

"There's nothing more worthwhile than this deal to trade my less than a month's life for the return of half of the lives in the universe! So, I beg you... Be sure to succeed! ”

Smith smiled firmly, but his wife suddenly burst into tears like a tearful man.

Dior nodded seriously, this plan can only succeed, not fail!

。。。。。。。。。。

A few hours later, the spacecraft successfully reached the planet Vormir.

Because Smith's body was very weak, Dio directly carried him on his back and stepped on this endless desolate planet, heading towards his destination.

The closer we got, the more silent the atmosphere became.

All three of them didn't say a word, and it was clear that death was not something that people could face calmly.

When they finally made it up the mountain, a ghostly figure floated in front of them.

"Dio, son of Sanji Brando."

"Wade, son of Dwight."

"Emily, Alice's son."

"I am the guide who leads all people to the Soul Gem."

As soon as they met, the mystery man said the names of each of them, as well as their identities.

Dio already knew who this mysterious man was, so he got straight to the point and said, "Don't pretend to be a ghost anymore, Red Skull." Take us to the Soul Gem. ”

"You... Know me? ”

When the Red Skull raised his head to reveal his terrifying face, the Smiths were visibly startled and almost let out a cry of surprise.

Not only is the environment very eerie here, but even the so-called 'guides' are so terrifying and weird!

"I know a lot more than you think, but now I'm in a hurry and don't have time to stay here and gossip."

Dio's unkindness didn't make the Red Skull angry, but instead made him smile even more terrifyingly.

"I see, please come with me."

To be honest, Dio is also the first time to come to this planet, so he has always been cautious.

Soon, several of them came to the 'familiar' cliff.

"What you seek is at hand, with your fears, and if you want to get the Soul Gem, you must lose your beloved, and this is the eternal deal, with the soul... Soul Swap! ”

Under the Red Skull's very 'loyal code' explanation, the uneasiness quickly spreads... Fart!

Even before coming here, Dior had told them all about what they were going through, and the Smiths knew what they needed to do.

Although instinctive fear and fear are still inevitable, they will not be disturbed and uneasy by the other party's words.

This also surprised the Red Skull.

Dio also ignored him, and turned directly to look at the two people he brought, "5 minutes." ”

With that, he stepped aside.

Wade Smith glanced at Dior gratefully, knowing that these five minutes were meant to leave them alone for the last time.

So the two of them hugged each other directly, and with tears in their eyes, they said everything they wanted to say but didn't have time to say, because this was the last chance.

Seeing this scene, the red skull was very surprised.

He felt as if the other party knew the rules here in advance, and had already found a 'substitute for the dead ghost' in advance, so that he could get the soul gem without much effort.

It's not like everyone else who came here, some of them fell into painful choices, and some returned disappointed empty-handed.

What a horrible person...

5 minutes of time came in a flash, in fact, it was useless for these 5 minutes, because it should have been said a long time ago, so for most of the rest of the time, the two of them just quietly hugged each other, feeling each other's body temperature and heartbeat.

"Come on, Emily. It doesn't make a difference to me one minute earlier or one minute late, it's just that it's hard for you, and if the child has no father in the future, maybe he will be bullied, and my parents have also entrusted it to you. ”

Smith took the initiative to pull Emily to stand in front of the cliff, carefully wiped away the tears on her face, and engraved it in her heart with the warmest smile.

"No, I can't."

Emily cried into tears, as if she couldn't do anything about it.

"You can, think of our children, they are waiting for us."
