Morning.

Goofy arrives at Star-Lord's and the others' quarters to meet them as promised.

As Goofy said last night, he will be the tour guide for this trip to Missouri.

With the exception of Ultron, who was originally scheduled to travel to Missouri with Goofy, Charles Xavier and Wanda Maximoff were the new "assistant tour guides", and Goofy did not explain to Star-Lord why the two students were accompanied, and he was not obligated to explain.

With the help of teleportation machines at the Baxter Tower, Goofy and the Guardians of the Galaxy travel from New York to Missouri in the blink of an eye, where they settle in a small town southwest of Missouri, where Star-Lord's mother was a native girl.

Missouri is now more prosperous than it was 30 years ago, with large supermarket chains and banks and movie theaters added to the town.

Although the far end of the town is still a vast expanse of farmland, farmland and farms are only part of the place, not all of it, as it was thirty years ago.

"Oh...... I almost don't recognize it! ”

Standing on the streets of the town, looking at the rows of houses in the distance, Igo said with emotion,

"It looks so strange here, but I vaguely remember the smell of the breeze here, which can only be smelled by the fields, and the smell of the crops......"

Peter Quill squinted at the farm and warehouse in the distance, and whispered, "I remember playing hide and seek with my mother when I was a child, and I always liked to hide in my grandfather's warehouse...... As long as I hide there, my mother won't find me......"

Hearing this, Igo sighed, walked over to Star-Lord's side, and kindly put his arms around his shoulders.

"Now she's just playing hide and seek with you, Peter, it's just that she's hiding in heaven, and you're going to find her in heaven sooner or later......"

This sentence made Peter Quayle almost burst into tears, and even the Rocket Raccoon, who had always been giggling, was silent.

Goofy only thinks that the old man Igo is creepy—he can play the role of a loving father so perfectly.

"Where is your mother's grave? I can't wait to meet her. Igo asked in a low voice, tears running through the corners of his eyes.

"Let's go."

The naïve Peter Quill was completely bewildered by Igo's acting skills, and he led the way leading the way and leading the crowd to a cemetery.

Peter Quiyle's mother, Meredith Quayle, is buried in this cemetery, and her tomb is ordinary, no different from the neighbors around her, so even Peter Quayle, who has been here once, would not have found her so easily, and it took five minutes to find her.

Her tombstone is also the most common standard model, with nothing on it except her name and date of birth and death.

"Is this the love of my life, the pearl of my eyes?"

Igo's acting skills continue to be online, and tears flow down his eyes as he looks at the tombstone of Star-Lord's deceased mother.

Peter Quill silently wiped away his tears and whispered: "Yes, this is her, she has been waiting for you to come back to visit her, all the time ......"

"I failed her...... Iago sighed, not forgetting to grab Star-Lord's arm, "but I'll double down on you later, son, you've suffered." ”

Star-Lord glanced back at his father, and he didn't continue to speak.

……

The worship of the dead soon ended, but Igo insisted on being left alone to chat with his Meredith.

Goofy and the Guardians of the Galaxy went to find a place to stay first, and they planned to stay in Missouri for two days.

In the end, everyone chose a hotel in the center of the town, which was simple but clean.

The room was booked, and everyone went back to their rooms to rest, and until this time, Igo still did not return.

This gave Goofy a good opportunity to discuss their countermeasures, and they took the opportunity to plan a plan against Igo at night.

Charles Xavier had already had an idea, and he had previously discussed the feasibility of this plan with Goofy.

"Even though my ability can read someone else's consciousness directly, it's too risky...... Ordinary people with slightly stronger mental powers can detect my snooping into their consciousness, let alone a creature like Igo, which is almost like a god......"

"Yes." Gao Fei nodded and said, "Reading Iago's consciousness directly is very likely to directly startle the snake, and once a creature of Igo's level becomes wary of us, it will not be so easy for us to get information from him." ”

At this time, Charles looked at Wanda and said with a smile: "Although this has always been a problem that we can't overcome, Wanda has come up with a good solution. ”

Goofy asked curiously, "Oh?" Wanda, what can you do? ”

Wanda said, "That's right, Headmaster Goofy. Charles reading Iago's consciousness while he is awake is likely to startle him, but if Igo is not conscious, then ......"

Gao Fei couldn't help but say, "You want to give him (harmony) medicine!" ”

Wanda was black-lined on the spot.

Principal Goofy ...... Do you think I can think of such a scheme? What's more, ordinary drugs are ineffective against higher creatures like Igo......"

Goofy smiled awkwardly: "I'm just kidding." ”

Wanda smiled perfunctorily and continued: "What I said corresponds to the awake state is Igo's sleep state, and Igo will definitely be less vigilant in his sleep state......"

"But sleep alone is not enough, because although the sleep state is not as vigilant as the awake state, it is enough to detect Charles's tricks......"

Charles interjected rather dissatisfied, "Wait, why did my powerful psychic ability become a trick in your mouth?" ”

Wanda reluctantly corrected herself: "Ahem, okay, but it's enough to discover Charles's powerful mental ability, is this okay?" ”

Charles nodded with satisfaction: "That's okay." ”

Wanda continued: "It's not enough to just fall asleep, I still need Igo to dream, and calm dreams are not enough to make him completely lower his vigilance, the easiest thing to make him lower his vigilance is nightmares...... Intense nightmares ......"

Goofy suddenly realized, "You mean, you used the ability to start nightmares after Igo fell asleep, and Charles used mind reading to read Iago's consciousness after your nightmare control took effect - that way, Igo wouldn't find out that his consciousness was stolen, would you?" ”

"That's right." Wanda smiled and said, "Principal Goofy is really smart. ”

Charles laughed and said: "Wanda's idea is really wonderful. ”

While they were chatting, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door, and Goofy hurriedly signaled the two to shut up, while Ultron explained the situation in advance - "It's Star-Lord here." ”

Sure enough, half a minute later, Star-Lord knocked on the door.

"Tuk-tuk."

"Goofy, it's almost lunchtime, are you ready to try some authentic Missouri?"

Goofy walked out of the room and said with a smile, "Of course I'm ready, I'm already hungry." ”

But Star-Lord's next sentence was not about eating, but in a low voice: "Goofy, last time I went back to my hometown, you didn't accompany me back, why did you accompany me all the way this time?" On top of that, you also brought a robot and two superpowered teenagers? ”

Peter Quayle's always bohemian face suddenly changed to a serious expression,

"It's definitely not something I think too much, is it, Goofy? You're not acting against us Guardians of the Galaxy, I know you're targeting my father, Igo, right? ”

"Goofy, you don't trust Igo, do you?"
