Chapter One Thousand and Seven: The Bewitchment of Death
In Kane's eyes, the Marvel Universe is a hodgepodge of constant bragging, and a hodgepodge of various popular elements of current culture in the name of 'tribute'.
It is precisely because of the broken jar that there are too many heroes who are indiscriminate, so after being realized, he is deeply hated and feared.
Of course, there is still a difference between severity and severity.
Like the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it can be regarded as the one with the lowest invisible malice towards outsiders in the Marvel Multiverse.
After all, due to the difference in carriers, even if you didn't plan to tell the story well from the beginning, but used audio-visual drugs to stimulate the audience's senses, after all, because of technical difficulty, cost investment, grounding and other reasons, you chose to greatly weaken the power level.
So even if Lady Death showed up in person, Kane didn't feel weak. The five gods of creation are only forced, and there is a 'true father' who is above OAA in the real creation of the world.
This also means that Lady Death does not have real GM permissions, and she will also be weakened here.
What's more, although Lady Death is the source, creator and manipulator of all life souls in the Marvel Universe, she does not hold his handle, he is an outsider.
In the past, it was Black Kane who sent out the mission to hold his soul's life. But after meeting with Kane, the salary king, he has become a free agent, so there are no loopholes in his side.
Uh, reluctantly, there is still one, the human doppelganger Zhao Wenrui.
Just as C Kane was receiving the Lady of Death, Zhao Wenrui was receiving the first creature he met in the Great Astral Universe in the Wasteland of the Gods, the old witch.
Actually, it wasn't a reception, but he was walking in the jungle and then 'bumped' into the old witch.
Although the old witch's sale is a little different, the last interaction proves that the old witch's reminder is indeed for his good. Under such a premise, for Zhao Wenrui, who is deeply influenced by oriental culture, even if he is still wary of him, he can't 'reciprocate the peach', and he won't meet to chase people so ruthlessly, so let's talk.
As a druid, C Kane naturally does not follow the avenues and paths in the Holden area, the wilderness is like home, any natural terrain is like walking on the ground, and he will never get lost, and even through magic, he can easily understand the geographical structure within a radius of 5 kilometers.
So this walk is in the secondary forest.
One of the main characteristics of the sub-forest is that neither the environment itself nor the creatures that roam it are as treacherous as the primeval forest, let alone an area like the Black Forest where powerful magical beasts inhabit.
The old witch pointed to the cutting area not far away, and then the two of them walked over, swept away the snow from the stump and sat down, and the old witch waved her staff and ingested the branches of the nearby deciduous trees and set them up into a pyre.
It's just that the bonfire is a little weird when it's lit, the orange flame can't illuminate the surrounding area, as if it exists in another space, but the heat is clearly and unmistakably conductive to the surroundings. Even the Martian fly ash is real, blown by the cold wind, floating into the air, like flying fireflies.
It was dark early in the mountains, not to mention that it was almost dusk, the mountains in the distance were getting darker, the trees were sheltered nearby, and the existence of bonfires made people unconsciously feel dependent, and at the same time, the vigilance of the surroundings was also quietly raised.
As a shadow druid, darkness has almost zero effect on Zhao Wenrui's visual image (it still has some effect), but human instinct still makes him more accustomed to light and warmth.
Especially in the cold winter mountains, the contrast is strong.
He took a snow rabbit from his bag that had been peeled and washed, and roasted it on the campfire. The rabbit was caught by the way he had been walking for more than a day.
He hadn't eaten since the river had entered the water.
It's not that someone is chasing after you, it's just too lazy to do it. After becoming a druid, like many predators, he can free his belly and eat as much as he wants, and then he will not be weak at all if he does not eat for a long time.
I'm not hungry now, and preparing this meal is all about masking the awkward atmosphere.
He was still wary of the old witch, and he didn't intend to open up.
However, the old witch also behaved very leisurely, and asked in a chatty tone, "Do you have my share?"
"Of course, I've caught a few of them before. ”
"Oh, then I'm going to get three ripe. ”
"Okay. Zhao Wenrui skillfully took out the homemade survival knife, opened a few holes in the rabbit meat, and then roasted it, brushed the sauce, and waited for the fat to leach out, the skin was browned, and began to sprinkle spices......
Three ripe, juicy, to put it rudely, that is, the blood has not completely coagulated, and some people say that it is myoglobin.
Anyway, in Zhao Wenrui's eyes, there is a suspicion of Ru Mao drinking blood, especially with the white periosteum, tendons, and burnt yellow rotten teeth, which makes him feel very uncomfortable and lose his appetite.
"Mmmmmm......mm
"It's very delicious, can you have another one?" In less than two minutes, a rabbit with nearly three catties of flesh and bones was eaten. The old witch asked Zhao Wenrui while sucking on the withered fingers stained with oil and spices.
"No problem. ”
"A little more tender. ”
"Okay. Zhao Wenrui also talked nonsense, focusing on playing the role of a cook, and soon concocted another one.
"Uh-huh......"
'Click!'
Zhao Wenrui had just set the third rabbit on the fire, the old witch had already finished eating, and in the last bite, Zhao Wenrui clearly saw that his mouth was opened to an abnormal extent, as if his mandible was dislocated, and at the same time, the cheeks on both sides of the mouth became rubber bands with better stretching, and the entire upper and lower gums were exposed at once. And the teeth have all become knife teeth, and there is not only one layer, but also more than two.
Only then did Zhao Wenrui realize that the previous 'click, click' sound was not the molar teeth of omnivorous creatures chewing, but the serrated guillotine-like layers of knife teeth opening and closing.
"Damn, what kind of demon is this?" Zhao Wenrui swallowed secretly.
By this time, the old witch was already asking for a third, and wanted to be a little more tender.
"Why don't you just add a heat and eat it raw?" Zhao Wenrui slandered, but he didn't show any signs on the outside, he mastered the heat, and the skin was brown and oily soon, and it was shipped.
"Uh-huh, that's it, that's it!" the old witch was completely satisfied this time. Maybe I've eaten almost enough, and I've started to chew slowly, and I've had a casual chat.
Zhao Wenrui still chose to be cautious in his words and deeds, and replied: "It's good if you're satisfied." He continued to focus on the barbecue.
"You're going to find another town to live with the people here, right?"
When Zhao Wenrui heard this, he secretly perked up, and said in his heart: "It's here!"
He nodded calmly: "I do have this plan." ”
The old witch grinned and continued to eat rabbit meat.
“......”
After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Wenrui decided to continue to stretch it, so he took care of his own roast rabbit meat. The atmosphere gradually became awkward.
At the same time, C Kane and Ms. Death are okay to talk about.
In terms of style, C Kane doesn't have much affection for Lady Death.
To be more precise, he doesn't have a crush on all the well-known women in the Marvel Universe.
In his opinion, the well-known women in the Marvel Universe are basically buses.
I can't get used to this, mainly because of machismo and spiritual cleanliness, and the double standard of only the state officials to set fires and not allow the people to light lamps, but to look down on the temperament of those women.
He felt that physical indulgence stemmed largely from a lack of psychological self-discipline and weakness.
But this is understandable and tolerable. It's too nitpicky to expect everyone to be strong-willed. After all, many people become superheroes, driven by fate, not spontaneously proactive.
What he can't tolerate is abuse.
Every time it's true, every time it's a genuine relationship from the heart, including a one-night stand similar to a nightclub hook-up. In his eyes, this kind of 'fraternity' is inappropriateness, self-love, and lowliness.
The relationship is too cheap, and at the same time too shallow, when something happens, I will fall in love with my face, and then I will be energetic, and I will throw it away in a few days.
Marvel's well-known women basically have this trend.
Not to mention Ms. Death, with countless faces, heavy mouth and curiosity, Thanos is her back, and Deadpool is her new love.
For these types of things he likes, he gives C Kane the impression that he is extremely bored and lets go of all kinds of waves. He has always looked down on this kind of existence that stops moving forward, wants to die but can't die or is afraid of death, so all kinds of demons pass the time.
However, there are many people like this in the Marvel Universe, such as collectors and Gao Tianzun. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the two are comics, but in the Marvel Universe, they are god-level bosses, and the information advantage accumulated through the long life span alone makes these two have unfathomable energy.
But C Kane has neither envy nor admiration for these two people, and if he is in power, he will not hesitate to find a way to kill or seal.
The five creator gods didn't look at it very much, especially the Lady of Death.
So in the face of the Lady of Death, he was obviously not surprised, and he was not even as good as the attitude towards Mr. Fantastic. At least although the latter is not intimate, they also treat each other as equals, take the initiative to come to the meeting, do not put on a stinky stand, and show off their strength and foundation.
Ms. Death also seemed to know that C Kane didn't like her, and she was not afraid of her, so she basically didn't have much concave shape after she appeared, and quickly said straight to the point: "I asked Mr. Fantastic's family to come first, just to know if you have the will to jump out." I judge that there is, after all, you can't hold it anymore, let the insect swarm under your command make trouble, and send envoys to hunt in foreign lands. ”
"Thank you for your attention. C Kane snapped his fingers as he spoke.
The rabbit was already almost leaning, and Zhao Wenrui, who was about to start eating, suddenly had a dark eye, and his mind became in a trance at that moment, but it only lasted for less than a second, and everything became normal again.
However, he felt that some kind of connection was disconnected, but no matter how much he thought, he couldn't figure out what kind of connection it was.
So he didn't think about it anymore, and used a survival knife to eat rabbit meat layer by layer, and took out a bottle of wine that had been half drunk from the bag.
"Would you like some?" he asked the old witch.
The old witch shook her head and said, "For the caster, it is better to drink less wine, and it is better not to drink it at all. ”
Zhao Wenrui smiled a little self-deprecatingly: "Throughout the first half of my life, what makes me feel the most is that there are too many rules. I'm tired and want to get rid of as much as I can, including those related to 'what kind of person you want to be'. ”
As he spoke, he unscrewed the cork and took a big sip. Like a raging fire, this stimulation made the body tremble subconsciously, and then the heat spread to the whole body.
It feels good.
The old witch laughed silently, stood up, and said, "The entire Holden area can no longer find the life you want, the civilization, organization and exclusivity of this world are much higher than you think, but there are also some respects, so let's do it for yourself." ”
As he spoke, the dark gray dirty robe turned into a swirling stream of light, scattered like a whirlwind of wind.
'Whew!'
With the old witch gone, the bonfire returned to normal, and the light shone five or six meters away.
Zhao Wenrui was stunned for a while, shook his head, and continued to sit on the stump, roasting meat and wine. Lazy to think deeply, love what's wrong. He knew that if he continued like this, sooner or later he would break his head and bleed, and even be imprisoned or simply killed.
But so what?
A lot of the time, people don't wake up if they don't hit the south wall, so be it, he is really tired of the old life mode of being preoccupied and calculating.
C Kane also feels this way, and he will also feel tired. But he is more emotionally stable, has stronger self-control, and also has a good channel to relieve his emotions, such as spending a small life with Rachel.
Because of this, C Kane will not lose control, and his anger is not heavy, even if he doesn't like Lady Death, he can communicate normally.
"I've always had my own small goals, big goals, and I do have some interest in other Marvel universes, but I have my own habits and rhythms for doing things. ”
"Of course, I'm just providing some valuable information, haven't you always been very rewarding?"
"That's true. Because of this, the cost of obtaining intelligence is also included in the cost. ”
"The information is free. "Lady Death appears to be generous.
"There's a saying in my hometown that the most expensive thing is what is free. ”
Lady Death laughs: "I know what the problem is. Trust!"
"That's true. I'm a sensitive and death-scared person, and I love to be cranky. Take the matter in front of me as an example, I will instinctively create a 'black pit' waiting for me to jump. ”
"The pit may be a bit deep, but that's just the risk that comes with huge benefits. Black can't really be talked about. Maybe my other siblings don't like you very much, but I ...... But I don't know how happy I am to die, and the Kree Empire was almost wiped out overnight. Sannos (Thanos)'s killing efficiency is far worse in comparison. ”
"I'll just take it as a kind compliment. Although I still have some doubts, I am still willing to take the initiative to take the first step to try, start a small goal first, let me see your sincerity. ”
"I promise, you won't regret your decision. As she spoke, Lady Death passed a message to C Kane in a special way.
If the plan is not confidential, the matter will be leaked, and the specific operation, the lady of death also attaches great importance to confidentiality......
