Chapter 389: Sacrifices
West Coast of the United States, private island.
The three of them were in the courtyard of the central and southern areas of the villa, looking at the slightly lonely grave in front of them. The kneading side face of the Scarlet Witch like a coin pattern is still charming, but unfortunately the three people opposite are not in a good mood.
Joaquin and Isabel were on their knees, and Crimson's favorite pair of children whispered at her grave, and she would be very happy to see it. When she was alive, she only had pain, and I don't know if she can feel a trace of happiness in heaven now.
Anne was standing, in the distance, leaning against the fence, her eyes occasionally sweeping over the two little ones in front of her, and the tombstone. However, most of the time, her eyes drifted to the distant mountains and forests, listening to the rustle of the leaves in her ears as the wind blows back, Anne quietly closed her eyes, in fact, she had only been here once, and she didn't know what emotions to use to face the Scarlet Witch. Someone like Anne who has died once, especially someone of her character, has long since stopped caring about her life and death, so she takes everything except Joaquin and Isha lightly. Treating death, she didn't feel too much in her heart, people always have to die, for her, the only meaningful thing in a person's life is what you have done. Whether it is valuable, whether it thinks it is valuable.
So Anne feels that she is living well now because whenever Joaquin sees herself, whenever she sees her peaceful and tranquil appearance, it will bring some psychological comfort to Joaquin. And her own existence can also take care of Joaquin's daily life, guide Joaquin as much as possible when he is confused, and give him a warm home. This is Anne's belief in life. Relative to Scarlet Witch. Anne felt that her life could be called a failure. It can also be called a success.
The Scarlet Witch's feats, undoubtedly, joined S.H.I.E.L.D. and became the vanguard of the fight against the Magneto Brotherhood in an era when there were no endless masters. Later, he joined Hellfire and followed Joaquin around for the rise and fall of his race. Anne says that Scarlet Witch failed because, no matter how much she had in the past. If the Scarlet Witch chooses to die in this way, it will be a failure.
As for success, Anne believes that Scarlet Witch has at least got what she wants in her heart, and yes, little Joaquin has completely regarded Scarlet Witch as another mother.
Anne's expression was complicated, one hand around her chest, the other hand supporting her face, her thoughts were a little disordered. Decide not to think about the past, useless, meaningless things anymore and turn your head. He looked at the deep forest in the distance again.
Joaquin, however, didn't come empty-handed, he brought with him a delicate, red skull. It took more than an hour, and Joaquin made it himself, and with the assistance of his ability, he finally cleaned the head of the red skull. Although it seems that there is no need to clean it, because this is a skull, in fact, there is still a lot of flesh and blood in the head of the red skull, but now, it has been completely cleaned by Joaquin.
"Hang this?" Joaquin's face wasn't overly sad, but rather relaxed, and while no one was sure if he had come out of the shadow of Crimson Death, it looked like a good sign.
"Eh, don't hang up, it's scary enough." Isabel shook her head, took the red skull with one hand, thought and thought, and played with the skull in her hand unconsciously.
Joaquin watched her movements, stunned slightly, then shook his head and smiled. Except for the first time Isabel confessed to herself many years ago, when she was strong, the rest of the time Isa always looked soft and weak, and Joaquin almost forgot how terrible she was. The cold and white palm was also stained with countless blood, how could he be afraid of a skull. No way, her personality is like this, so it always makes Joaquin think that she is a little cowardly and ignorant of the world. I almost forgot that in this world, her strength, it is not an exaggeration, is among the best. Moreover, she is no longer a girl, she is 24 years old, she is already an adult, and she can be on her own for a long time.
Joaquin took the red skull's head with one hand, put the other hand around Isa's shoulder, and gently kissed her charming blonde hair: "Then let it go." ”
Isabel looked at Joaquin's random position, leaned forward, and moved slightly: "Blocking the word." It's not good to be exposed to the wind and sun, it will be damaged, should we cover the sacrifice with a small glass cover? ”
"He deserves to be exposed to the wind and sun, and it's good to let the red skeleton suffer like this." Qiao Jin smiled, "Then again, when this skull is corroded, the estimated unit of time has to be calculated in 'years'." But it doesn't matter, we can wait for ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years. Seeing it corrupted with his own eyes can be regarded as an explanation to Wanda. ”
"Millennium?" Isabel opened her mouth in surprise.
"Apocalypse has left me some abilities, and I have seen a lot of his memories, although my IQ is far less than that of Apocalypse, but I think that as long as I am willing to study, there will be some results, but it is really not good, I can also ask for some help." Qiao Jin smiled and nodded, the White Queen can act as her assistant, whether it is her wisdom, or experience, or knowledge level, she is the top of the top, Qiao Jin feels that as long as she has this intention and makes this head, she should be able to master some of the skills of the ancestors to transform the body.
"So long." Isabel sighed, as if she wanted to say something.
"What, you don't want to live longer?" This time it was Joaquin's turn to be surprised and looked at Isabel in surprise.
"This world is too dark, and it will be almost too long to live for 80 years, do you want me to be afraid for thousands of years? I can't stand it. Isabel shook her head, very resolute, as if she didn't want to live long.
"Smack." In the distance, Anne snapped her fingers and smiled with a hint of appreciation: "This is my girl." ”
"Once we had the Resurrection Spring, we will be able to slow down aging and live for a hundred more years. Now that the Apocalypse has given me the ability to live a long life, are you just throwing me away from me? Joaquin spread his hands and looked dissatisfied.
"That's a really good idea." Anne nodded approvingly.
"Annie!" Isabel looked at Anne dissatisfied, as if she was not very interested in Anne's jokes.
"I don't want to get too much, I don't want eternal life." Anne glanced at Scarlet Witch's grave as if by accident, and continued, "I want to be a normal mother, and now that I have entered middle age, I am spending a leisurely time here, waiting to enter the stage of my old age. I hope that in the process, I will be able to see my grandchildren and granddaughters, see their little hands and feet, watch them crawl around and run around, and nurture and educate them when I can have some strength. Then I'll hang old, I'll have gray hair, maybe I'll be unable to walk, I'll never be able to stand up again, maybe I'll have to sit in a rocking chair with a blanket over every day, but that's how I should be. Spring is blooming here, and I think I will just look at the blue sky and white clouds, the beach and the sea, and my beautiful sea of flowers, and finally finish my life in happiness. So, Joaquin, I don't want you to transform me into a guy who can live for thousands of years. ”
"Haha." Qiao Jin laughed dryly, his expression was very embarrassed, and even slightly panicked, "It's still early, you are only middle-aged, don't think about birth, old age, sickness and death." ”
Anne saw Joaquin's slightly panicked face, and her heart was also slightly tight. There is no doubt that this is a sensitive time for Joaquin, and he can't stand such a blow, not even a verbal joke. In Annie's heart, Joaquin is a very calm person, especially after his own death, after Joaquin experienced the Snow Mountain Assassin Alliance, Joaquin became a real man, but look at his panicked appearance now.
"I just wanted to say that I want to see you two give birth to a baby soon." Anne shifted the subject without leaving a trace, with a gentle smile on her face.
"She will agree, she will not be willing to give up on you, maybe she is not afraid of life and death, but she will be afraid that she will never see you again. She's just hard-mouthed now. Isabel leaned into Joaquin's ear and gently bit Joaquin's ear.
"Are you sure?" Joaquin turned to look at Isabel.
"A woman's intuition." Isabel grinned, put her arm on Joaquin's shoulders, stood up, rubbed her kneeling legs, and said, "If you really have such a long life, it suddenly feels so boring." ”
"Why do you say that?" Joaquin didn't stand up, he changed his kneeling position to a sitting position, his elbows resting on his knees, and his palms supporting his face, and the two little guys seemed to ignore Annie directly.
"You think, a lot of things are going to lose their meaning." Isabel looked down at the tombstone in front of her, "For example, when I know that I have a long life, I will feel that I have lost the strength to struggle, I don't need to cherish the time, I don't need to work hard. Even my enemies will become dust on the side of the road in my eyes, and I don't need to pay attention to them at all, maybe wait ten years, a hundred years, when I and you will wander in the bright starry sky, happy and sweet, he is lingering in the hospital bed, slowly dying in despair and pain. ”
"Uh." Joaquin scratched his head, thinking left and right, and still felt that something was wrong, "What if the other party dies?" How can the great revenge wait for 'time' to be avenged? I'm not that kind of person. ”
Joaquin looked at the red skull head in front of him and nodded firmly: Well, I'm definitely not that kind of person.
