454. The only relative
For Victor's "ridicule", Quill is embarrassed.
But he couldn't beat Victor, and second, it wasn't something that Victor deliberately provoked, and Quill didn't have much to say, so he could only cast a look at Gamora for help.
Gamora is also quite enlightened, and immediately said that he was a little tired, and hoped that Igo could arrange a place for them to rest first.
Naturally, Igo would not refuse, and let Mantis leave with Gamora and the others, and he and Quill had a rare time alone with father and son.
Neither did the crowd feel any inappropriate.
After all
People are father and son, there will definitely be some whispers, or secrets, that cannot be said in front of everyone.
Not to mention,
Igoco is a god!
Maybe someone else has a legacy that needs to be taught to Quill.
With Gamora in front of him, even though Drax was curious and Rocket was a little worried, everyone followed Mantis out of the palace.
Walking through the garden with a rich aroma in the air is quite enjoyable.
Groot liked the environment very much, and he was very excited to slide off the head of the rocket, running around with small steps, and his face was full of happiness.
He is also the only one who enjoys the moment.
The others, including Mantis, who led the way, were more or less thinking about something, worrying about something, and struggling with something.
Needless to say, Victor kept perfecting his plan, rehearsing various possibilities in the super brain to eliminate accidents.
SS-class bloodline, worthy of his such strict waiting.
Although Gamora cooperated with Quill in her actions, the worry and doubts in her eyes were not too obvious, and she only looked at the beautiful environment around her with scrutiny.
Rocket simply didn't believe anything, his eyes rolling vigorously, trying to see where Igo's evil target was.
Drax, but he stared at the unemotional Mantis, not knowing what he was thinking - but it was certainly not in love, after all, he had always found Mantis extremely ugly.
Speechless all the way.
Mantis led them to another palace, with a number of rooms, each of which was luxuriously decorated, and was treated as an absolute VIP of the highest order.
Everyone had their own thoughts, found a room, went in, sat down, and began to think.
But Mantis did not choose to leave, but stayed at the gate of the palace, looking in the direction where Quill and his son were, and wandered out of the world in a daze.
It didn't take long for
A crack opened in the palace, and Victor slipped out of it.
Mantis didn't react at first, and only after there was one more person in front of him did he react.
"Uh, hey!" Mantis tried his best to hold back a smile that was more ugly than crying: "That, if you need anything, please do not hesitate to ask." ”
"Don't be nervous." Victor smiled faintly, and his handsome face exuded a charm that fascinated the opposite sex: "I'm just a little bored, I'm just out to talk to you." ”
"Meet...... What does chat mean? Mantis asked confusedly, "I'm sorry, I grew up on this planet, and I don't know a lot of things here except Igo, and I'm curious......"
"It's okay, just ask if you have any questions, I won't be angry." Victor still smiled gently, relieving Mantees' nervousness: "We're chatting now, and we have an intersection through verbal communication, can you understand?" ”
Mantis nodded uncertainly, then shook his head, and finally nodded again.
It made Victor a little confused.
fortunately
He doesn't have obsessive-compulsive disorder either, so he has to figure out if Mantis understands this.
A set of tea tables was embodied with ether particles, and he took the lead in sitting down and starting to make tea.
Although he can directly embody the tea, without the process of "brewing", it is too unceremonial to go straight to the topic.
Mantis looked curiously at Victor's skillful operation, and asked what it was without hesitation.
Victor explained softly as he expertly brewed two cups of tea and motioned for Mantis to take a sip and try it.
Mandis didn't have any defense, and just picked up the teacup and took a sip of cow drink.
Fortunately, Victor had lowered the water temperature as expected, otherwise she would have had to burn a big blister.
"Meet! Very unique taste! Mantis frowned and pondered: "I haven't tasted it, it's a novelty!" ”
Victor smiled and motioned for Mantis to sit down, pulled out the atomic ring he had prepared for her, and began the feeding game.
For all kinds of strange foods, Mantis naturally does not like all kinds of strange foods, such as canned herring, which also stinks until it smells, and it is retching.
But she would still try to eat at least one bite, just to experience the taste that her taste buds had never encountered before.
Even though it tasted terrible, she wanted to try it.
After a round of feeding, an afternoon passed.
Mantis was fed to his heart's content, with a small belly, to say nothing of three months old.
Victor refilled her with a cup of tea, and said without looking back, "Drax, since you're here, let's come out and chat together." ”
As soon as the words fell,
Drax had already stepped out generously and sat down beside Mantis, who smiled back with her crying card.
"What are you doing here? Are you going to scare me away? Drax looked strange.
"Huh? I've heard that a smile can bring you closer to people, so I ......"
"You're not laughing, it's a disaster."
"That's it......"
"By the way, Victor, do you remember the bet I made with Quill before?"
Victor blinked when he heard this, turned to Mantis, who was looking at him curiously, and said softly, "Drax and Quill bet what your tentacles are for. ”
"That's right! I'm sure it must have been used to prevent headbutting, right? Drax excitedly awaited Mantees' answer.
Victor twitched the corners of his mouth.
Drax's guess is obviously unreliable, and Chicken Thief Quill's guess is "as long as it's not what Drax guessed, he won".
Gee
It's not unreasonable that the Drax clan will be exterminated, it's too upright!
"Of course not!" Mantis vetoed directly: "My antennae, I guess it should have something to do with my ability to perceive emotions...... Do you have the ability to do that too? It is through physical contact that you can sense the emotions of others. ”
Drax was naturally curious, and immediately asked Mantis to sense his emotions, only to be infected by curiosity.
Both set their sights on Victor.
Victor finally came, adjusted his inner mood a little, smiled and nodded to indicate that Mantis was fine.
Mantis didn't have the consciousness of the difference between men and women, and directly held the back of Victor's hand, and the end of the tentacles on his forehead was slightly glowing.
Then
Her eyes widened in surprise and she looked at Victor in disbelief.
He, he, he, how ...... Treat me as a relative?
Recalling her skillful feeding, gentle eyes, and soft attitude, Mantis was in a trance for a while, and she had never felt the love of her family, and she had no resistance to this emotion.
In just a few seconds,
Victor's status in Mantis's heart is on par with Igo, or even slightly surpassed.
After all
She is well aware of Igo's various bad behaviors, even if she doesn't have much ability to distinguish between good and evil, she still vaguely feels that it is wrong.
And according to the past trend,
There is a high probability that Quill does not have the Celestial Genes, and at that point Igo will instantly turn into a tyrant, break the necks of all the guests, and throw them into the cave full of corpses.
The thought that Victor might be like everyone else, becoming a part of the Mountain of Bones, Mantis couldn't stop crying.
This happens in a matter of seconds.
Victor's "strange" backhand held Mantis's small hand and soothed softly: "What's wrong?" I don't have any bad feelings, right? If you perceive something to be afraid of, it must be a misunderstanding, so can you say it and give me a chance to explain? ”
It's so gentle!
Obviously, Victor just sat still, but Mantis cried, but he did not hesitate to take the problem on himself, and comforted himself softly.
And what about Igo?
It's just a master who uses her as a tool, and never talks to her head-on, only has his great plan in mind, let alone comforts himself.
At that moment,
Victor's position in Mantis's heart immediately surpassed that of Igo and threw him away.
Mantis also made a decision, looking at Victor's gentle eyes and said firmly: "I'll take you to a place, you need to know the truth, your companion is in danger now!" ”
Saying,
Mantis stood up anxiously, holding Victor, who was still "confused", and ran quickly into the distance.
Before Drax could react, two figures, one large and one small, passed him, it was Gamora and Rocket, and they had been eavesdropping behind the door.
They catch up with Mantis and ask Quill what danger he will have, as he is not friendly because he is worried about Quill's safety.
Frightened, Manteis subconsciously hid behind Victor, and didn't dare to show his head.
Or Victor reconciled in the middle: "Don't worry, let's go to Mantisti's place first, in order to save time, I'll take everyone to fly over together." ”
thereupon
Victor opened his mind and led Drax and Groot, who had arrived later, to find the cave under the guidance of Mantis.
looked at the boundless sea of corpses and bones in front of him, and was stunned for a few seconds.
Gamora immediately screamed, "Go back! Let's go back to Quill! He must not be fine! ”
The rocket also jumped to his feet: "Damn! I knew it! I knew the old man was uneasy! Save Quill with the handsome Rocket, and never want to raise his head in front of the Rocket! ”
Groot: "I?am Groot?" ”
Drax: "Hmm...... You're scared of that ugly thing. ”
As Drax said, the excitement of Gamora and Gamora frightened Mantes so much that he shivered behind him with Victor's left arm.
In fact, her fears are also right,
If it weren't for Victor opening the wall of telekinesis to isolate the excited Gamora and Rocket, the current Mantis would probably have suffered a lot of flesh and skin.
Gamora's hand strength is very heavy for the average person.
"Victor, get out of the way, do you want to protect her and not Quill?" Gamora glared at Victor angrily, "We are your partners!" It's us who can kill Thanos with you, not the soft bug behind you! ”
Victor shrugged noncommittally.
Mantis almost took off Thanos' Infinity Gauntlet in the future, and the one who spoiled the situation was the Quill you had in mind, and you yourself didn't cut Thanos with a sword from the beginning.
The illusory Thanos embodied in the Reality Gem doesn't count.
But these Victors will definitely not say it.
"It's useless for you to be anxious, we can't rush over stunned, the opponent is a planet." Victor laid out the situation: "No one can save us from being reckless, but we will suffer ourselves, and we need to make a careful plan." ”
Unlike ordinary girls, Gamora is still reasonable.
Just now, I was just concerned about it, but under Victor's suggestion, I immediately realized the gap between myself and the enemy, and this matter really needs to be summed up.
Although Rocket also wants to rescue Quill immediately, the tsundere will not say it directly, and stands to the side with his hands on his chest, waiting to see how Victor will arrange his troops.
Temporarily calming the two most grumpy men, Victor turned to look at Mantis who was still shivering.
He gave him an encouraging look and said softly, "Tell me what you know?" Quill is our companion, we need to know as much as we can in order to get him out of relative safety, can we? ”
In the face of Victor's gentle pleas, Mantis had no resistance, and immediately revealed what he knew.
The plan to sow the stars of life in the major galaxies from Igo in an attempt to devour all life in the known universe,
to the point where he mates with various races to give birth to offspring, just to create a kind of man and the madness of his plan.
And then he made a deal with Yongdu, plundered all the heirs to this planet, and after discovering that the other party did not have the gene of the gods, he would mercilessly summarize the cruelty of his life.
And the sea of corpses and bones in front of him is ironclad evidence of Igo's crimes in the past.
Hearing this, Rocket and the others were shocked, and they never imagined that Quill's father was such a good person.
Wrong
The ignorant Groot didn't say anything, and even missed his PSP a little.
After pulling out the information, Victor did not take the lead, but gave the task of making the plan to Rocket and Gamora.
After a moment's thought, they unanimously decided to split up - one team to rescue Quill, and one team to blow up the ugly planet!
As members of the Guardians of the Galaxy, they could not sit back and watch a god who endangered the known universe continue his plan of destruction.
Victor did not refute this, and even took on the most dangerous "blasting" mission.
Gamora joins Drax and Groot to activate the Milano and try to rescue Quiel.
The rocket, on the other hand, took Victor and went deep into the center of the earth under the leadership of Mantis, looking for the core of Igo's brain, and using the high-explosive bomb made by the "Sovereign battery" he brought along to blow up Igo to cerebral palsy.
However, there is a greater probability that it will trigger a chain reaction that will cause the entire planet to explode and disintegrate.
After the group was completed, the team disbanded on the spot, and Gamora's team immediately went to the rescue of Quill.
Victor, with a left-handed rocket and a right-handed Mantis, flew to the top of a large canyon where there would be a gap leading to the center of the earth.
As for the obstacles that cannot be passed halfway, they are naturally violently destroyed - this is why it is possible to divide the team, otherwise there is no large equipment, how can it be so easy to reach the center of the earth.
The process took some time, and neither of them spoke on the way, except for Mantis's guidance.
And Victor's eyes looking at Mantis are no longer as soft as before - Mantis doesn't care, after all, the changes in mood are diverse, and in today's tense environment that requires going deep into the enemy formation, vigilance is not enough, where is there time to think nonsense.
But in fact, is Victor's "affection" for Mantis real?
No, no, no,
Not to mention the species, the size of Mantis alone is not his preferred type.
The reason why Victor was able to deceive Manteis and make him feel his love for him is because of the actor's technique, there is a technique called "substitution acting".
Immerse yourself in the role and become the character itself
And Victor reversed the operation and replaced Mantis into ...... Wanda!
Naturally,
All the emotions that Mantis perceives are genuine family affection - they have long regarded each other as their own relatives since they fell in love with Wanda.
Wanda still has an older brother and a sister, but in this universe, Wanda is his only relative!
Just ask,
How could Victor not be gentle?
And how could that level of tenderness be something that Mantis, who had never experienced family affection, could resist?
