Chapter 74: Ethan, who is afraid of trouble
"A lot of monsters under a normal wooden house?"
Rogan looked at the mundane, familiar streets around him and knew that this was supposed to be a modern Earth.
"Sounds like a horror movie?"
"Almost. ”
The film Cabin in the Woods is more of a satire than a horror film.
The plot of this film is very simple, several college students are going to spend a pleasant holiday in the wooden house of a relative in Kut, but they don't know that they have been selected by a mysterious organization to be sacrificed, and they are killed through a fixed routine to appease the ancient evil gods sleeping deep underground - in layman's terms, it is to set up a stage and let a few unsuspecting young people perform as actors in a terrifying performance, and the ancient evil gods will continue to stay deep underground instead of rushing out to destroy the world.
These college students, regardless of their original personalities, were given a fixed template in this incident, and they had to act according to the template arranged by the mysterious organization, dying at the wooden house one by one in a fixed order.
According to various powerful interpretations, the cabin in the forest satirizes the more and more stylized horror films on the market today, and complains that if they don't do this, the audience as the 'Ancient Evil God' will not buy it, and the single mode of mechanical process also makes the 'Ancient Evil God' more and more dissatisfied, and this dilemma has caused countless producers a headache.
Whether Ethan really had the idea for the director of this film is unknown, he only knows that the film is somewhat interesting, and if he is asked to choose a place to play, the world is a good choice.
The most interesting point is that one of the protagonists of this film is still an 'acquaintance'.
"Acquaintances?"
Standing on the side of the road at the intersection of a street, Ethan looked up at the tall young man not far ahead.
This is a black male, he is not an acquaintance of Ethan, the so-called acquaintance is in the window on the second floor, Ethan suddenly laughed when he saw a familiar face.
Logan followed Ethan's gaze and laughed when he could see who was standing in the window.
"Thor?"
"No, no, it's not the Thor here who loves his brother more than anything. ”
This young man who is exactly the same as Thor's is called Coote, and he is an unlucky guy who has been selected by the 'World Defense Organization' to 'play the role of a 'sports fool' in the established horror movie routine!
That's right, Kut's normal character is actually a school bully, but under the influence of the black technology used by that organization, his personality has become a sports fool in the traditional horror movie routine - this can be known from the dialogue between the heroine Dana and Marty in the final stage of the film, and all of them have inexplicable personality changes.
"What are we going to do? Go up and say hello to these young men?"
Ada had already looked around, and found that this was a very ordinary North American town, and there was nothing strange about it, and it seemed that the large number of monsters Ethan mentioned were all concentrated in the so-called ordinary wooden house.
Ethan will suddenly pay attention to these young people, and she guesses that these young people must have something to do with the cabin - linked to the similar world background of horror films, these young people should be the common horror movie protagonists.
Looking back at the plots of countless horror movies I have watched, the future of these young people will definitely not be very bright.
Thinking of this, Logan suddenly laughed as well.
Thor, the god of thunder who had inherited the position of god-king in Asgard, was just a young college student with a relatively strong body and was about to be involved in a terrible and terrifying journey.
It's interesting to think about it.
"It's a shame that Mary didn't come along. ”
Maria Hill joins Ethan's team to learn and see the world, and if Ethan is talking about going to a certain world to find something magical or gather some knowledge, she will definitely come with her.
It's just that Ethan wants to come out to play this time, and Hill has no interest in his peers.
She would never have imagined that such a trip would be able to encounter such an interesting thing.
Thor should be glad that Rogan and they don't usually live in the Marvel world for many years, and if Maria Hill sees the bad luck of a young man who looks exactly like Thor, it may affect Thor's extremely powerful god-king image.
"Don't approach them just yet. ”
Ethan made a look, believing that the two beside him must have noticed the man hiding on the roof of the building.
"He's spying on the young men?"
"They have a 'great mission' to defend the world, and they don't allow anything beyond the unexpected to happen, and if we go to contact those young people now, what awaits us may be a group of armed men. ”
There is a lot of power behind this organization, after all, their mission is directly related to the survival of this world, so it is not a strange thing to have armed personnel.
"So what do we do?"
"Let's follow along, and then make contact when the time is right. ”
These young people still have to grind for a while, especially Marty, who likes to smoke marijuana and is almost stupid, he will waste a lot of time on the way to the gathering.
Taking advantage of this free time, Ada has already made a disguised identity for each of them through the equipment provided by Tony, and at the same time found a second-hand car dealership and bought a decent old car with a 'universal credit card'.
By the time they were done, the group of young men had already set off and were gone.
But neither Ida nor Logan felt panicked, and Ada took care of herself changing her shoes in the back row. In a small town, she can walk in high heels, but when she is about to enter the mountains, she can't still run around in stiletto shoes, even if she is wearing high heels, she can walk on the mountain as if she were walking on the ground.
After Logan drove out of town, he didn't even ask Ethan what to do, and Ethan didn't wait for Logan to ask, he lightly snapped his fingers with his left hand, and a ball of blue energy appeared out of thin air, condensing into a translucent blue arrow above the dashboard.
The meaning is obvious, just follow the arrows.
"The spells you know are getting weirder and weirder, what is this called?
"It's not a spell of any kind, it's just a control of magical energy condensed into the shape of an arrow. Ethan glanced at Logan next to him: "If you don't like it, I can make it look different." ”
With Ethan's words, the original ordinary arrow turned into a pocket-sized hot beauty after a while, and then pointed out the way forward for Logan in various strange poses.
"It's funny, but it's a distraction, and if you don't want me to drive the car into a pit, you might as well switch back. ”
Seeing the pocket beauty in front of him turn back into an ordinary arrow, Logan realized that it was not the spell that showed him the way, but Ethan himself.
"Do you know the road?"
"No, it's just that I left a magical mark on the young man named Holden. ”
"Understood. ”
Once Ethan leaves a mark on anyone or anything, many mages can't even find out, let alone lift it, except for Ethan taking the initiative to lift the magic.
Only a magician who is a fraction stronger than Ethan will be able to detect the anomaly and have the ability to disarm this marking magic.
This is the advantage of Ethan's persistence in this cultivation path for so many years: when facing a caster of the same 'level', he has an absolute advantage, whether it is magic or fine control of magic.
"That's right. ”
I don't know how long I'm going to drive, and Logan isn't ready to drive like this all the way.
"You sent Laura and her sisters to another world before, why didn't they immediately return to the Prince Eugen?"
"Remember when I absorbed a lot of time energy?" Ethan expected Logan to notice this, in fact, Ida in the back row also noticed, but this woman was very shrewd, she knew that someone would definitely ask for her, she just had to wait and hear the answer.
"Remember, does it still have an impact on this?"
"Of course, I can adjust whether the speed of time in a certain world is parallel to mine. ”
Ethan explained that when he took Laura and them to the world of the road to survival, he chose 'this world is the same as Ethan himself', so that how long Laura and they stay in that world, Ethan himself will also pass, and there will be no different time flow speed because they are in a completely different world. ”
"Why?"
Logan didn't understand what this ability was for, and in the blink of an eye, Laura signaled that it wouldn't be better to come back?
Ethan spread his hands: "These young people are going to kill boring time, if they come back in the blink of an eye, won't the time be passed away?"
What's more, maybe these bear children didn't play enough, so Ethan had to find a suitable world for these people to play with, and then came back in the blink of an eye...... Ethan would also feel broken down several times in a row.
Therefore, binding the speed of time to himself is essentially to avoid more harassment and trouble - even if he returned to the Prince Eugen, it was only a moment, and Laura and the others, who were bound to his own time, came back after him, and the Prince Eugen may have only been a few hours after Laura left and returned.
But I've had a lot of fun myself, and Ethan doesn't mind taking them to another world to play with.
Logan thought that Ethan was actually afraid of being frequently harassed by several children, and Wolverine almost laughed into a husky: "I am especially looking forward to the day when you have your own child." ”
While joking, Logan noticed an RV parked on the side of the road in front of them, and the young people they wanted to catch up with stood on the side of the road and waved hard.
Logan didn't think there would be such a coincidental good thing, and they were trying to catch up with the young men when their car broke down and they were forced to wait on the side of the road.
Considering that this is a remote road to the mountains, it is difficult for these young people to wait for help from others except for themselves.
Seeing Logan looking at him with an inquiring gaze, Ethan stretched out his hand and made a 'small' gesture: "Just a little bit of a hand." ”
