Chapter 20: Loss and Return
The day after the Battle of New York was over, many people had already taken the initiative to clear the debris from the streets.
Families are filled with joy and sorrow, those who survive and rejoice, and those who mourn when they lose their lovers.
Large screens in downtown plazas were filled with videos of media opinions about the people of other states about the New York heroic anti-alien visit.
Of course, because the appearance of the lizardmen is too ugly, they are worried that it will affect the image of the entire city, so they are temporarily concealed by S.H.I.E.L.D. and the army.
Well, the main thing is that S.H.I.E.L.D. and the military have teamed up to secretly research this technology, so they have forcefully blocked media public opinion.
"It's great to know that they exist, that someone is watching over us."
"I know that guy, that's the Spider-Man of New York, my son likes it the most."
"The presence of these guys makes me feel insecure."
"I don't like the Hulk character at all about this movie, he's like a piece of, and I like Loki better."
"I can't tell, I just feel like I'm being kept in the dark."
"There are superheroes in New York, and there are fewer of them."
"These so-called superheroes must be responsible for the destruction of the city! Where did they run after the battle? ”
Looking at the video playing on the screen, the surviving people in Manhattan stopped what they were doing and smiled wordlessly.
Only they themselves understand who the real heroes are.
Heroes are there for them ...
Walking on the road to the Osborne group, it is clear that he is going to say goodbye to everyone today, and of course, if anyone is willing to go with him, he is also very happy.
As for the Avengers, he really has no intention of contacting it, mainly because Thor, the god of hammers, annoys him anymore, and he wants to get the Cosmic Rubik's Cube with all kinds of things.
"What's going on with the analysis of the world, why hasn't there been any progress at all after a day."
Mo Ming looked at Ex on the side and asked a little unpleasantly.
The latter, still wearing a black cloak, spoke in Mo Ming's ear, "Sir, according to the analysis, it is indeed as the person said, the world in it is not interfered with by the will of the universe, but it seems that someone has created some kind of tool to manage it. ”
"Ah, you're saying there's a system like you?"
Mo Ming looked at Ex in surprise, only to see the latter nod slightly, and he fell into a moment of contemplation.
Forget it, I don't want to think about it, let's take one step at a time. Mo Ming emptied his mind, since some things can't be figured out, it's better to live in the moment.
He walked into the building of the Osborne Group, where the hall was empty, and the staff had been on long leave for post-war reasons.
He slowly held his way up the stairs to the conference hall on the twelfth floor.
Norman, Flint, Otto, Connors, and Raymond had been waiting here for a long time, their faces gloomy and heavy.
"What's the matter, are you reluctant to let me go? I'm reluctant to go with me. ”
Mo Ming broke the embarrassing environment and took the lead in speaking, everyone's faces changed, and Norman stepped forward.
"Sir, thank you for everything you did for us, helping Harry and me lift the curse of the family and help others fulfill their wishes, but you also lied to us, didn't you, now that the Osborne Group is growing, it can't do without us, so please forgive us for not being able to walk with you."
Norman lowered his posture very lowly, humbled himself and bowed his head, like a servant who had served Mo Ming for many years and wanted to return to his hometown.
Mo Ming didn't speak, just looked at everyone with cold eyebrows, he had already thought of this ending, and he could only blame him for wishful thinking if it ended like this.
After returning from Stan Lee yesterday, he dismissed all the managers and told them the truth.
There is no main god, there is no evolution of the world, and even the excitement in the mind is the result of technology control.
Although Mo Ming deceived them, everyone's faces were full of guilt, after all, the person in front of him gave everyone a chance to be reborn and realized their dreams one by one.
Even Flint and Raymond hung their heads in shame, if they were alone, they would definitely follow Mo Ming, but they each took care of their families.
Mo Ming sighed, picked up the things exchanged with S.H.I.E.L.D. on the table, looked at everyone and said softly, "No need to do this, you also have your own lives, so goodbye, there will be a period later." ”
A blue light flashed, and Mo Ming disappeared into Osborne's building, and everyone watched him leave and was silent for a long time.
"System, calculate the items obtained this time", Mo Ming called out in his mind, as for the set of batmechas, he had already put them in the storage space.
[What you get in this space is as follows: subspace gems, sub-soul gems.] 】
Accompanied by the figure of the system, Mo Ming shuttled through a tunnel of changing light and shadow, dazzling and colorful, which made him dizzy, and when he opened his eyes again, he found that he had returned to the castle.
"I thought you could send me right back to Joanna." Looking at the neatly maintained flowers and plants around the yard, Mo Ming's depressed mood improved a lot.
Looks like Joanna has been living here all along, is she waiting for me?
It was the middle of the night, and the New York countryside was silent, and the cold moon hung in the sky, staring at the lonely gray castle.
"Marina, don't run around."
The sweet female voice was particularly clear in the quiet surroundings, accompanied by the laughter of children.
It's a girl, is this my child? But I didn't have anything to do with Joanna!
It was like a bomb bursting above Mo Ming's heart.
Hesitantly staggering in, Mo Ming still walked in, and sure enough, Joanna was playing and chasing a cute little girl in the yard, and a white man was sitting on a chair and looking at them with a smile, a happy scene for a family of three.
The man saw a stranger breaking into his house, so he immediately got up and walked over, looking at Mo Ming with an unkind face, "Sir, who are you, this is my house." ”
Now that the economy is in a recession, and the law and order are so chaotic, he can't help but be nervous and vigilant.
Mo Ming glanced at him coldly and didn't speak.
And this move undoubtedly aroused the man's anger, and he clenched his fists and wanted to step forward to teach a lesson to the yellow-skinned monkey in front of him.
"Phil, stop, he's, he's the master here."
Joanna stepped forward and grabbed the man's arm, looking at Mo Ming with pleading eyes, "Can we go out and talk." ”
"Joanna, just give him this house, let's go."
The man said angrily on the side, he knew the origin of the house and the story of his wife's first love.
"Phil, he, he's my friend after all, and there are some things I have to make clear to him."
Looking at Joanna's determined eyes, the man nodded and pulled the little blonde girl back into the house.
There was a brief silence in the courtyard, and the two looked at each other in embarrassment.
"You're old, Joanna."
"yes, it's been seventeen years."
