Jarvis and Xu Shangqi's heads were together, looking at the huge picture of Gu Yi on the front page, she looked like she was running, or flying, and she was holding a little girl in her arms.

"Monsters?" Jarvis was the first to pronounce the word, he frowned, looked at the photo of the Ancient One, and didn't notice anything strange, the Ancient One didn't even have those black patterns on his face.

And looking down along this line of thought, when he saw the date of the newspaper, he found that it was 11 days ago, that is, the 29th day that the ancient one said that she came here, and it was also the day of the accident.

Xu Shangqi went upstairs to call someone, and Wanda and Riley, who came down, also came up to read the newspaper, and they also expressed their confusion about the word "monster" at the same time, in their opinion, there was nothing strange about Gu Yi, and her posture of holding the little girl was not a kidnapping.

"Could it be that the ancient one can fly and magic, causing people to be frightened?" Wanda speculated.

"Look here, 'Erect Limbs Monster'." Riley frowned and said, "That's a strange description, is there anyone who isn't on limbs?" ”

"Those monsters aren't." Jarvis was stunned for a moment, he was not human, so he was able to look at this matter from a more objective perspective.

"Do you think I'm a monster?" Jarvis asked suddenly.

"Stop making a fuss." Wanda thought he was joking, and deliberately made a more serious expression and said, "Let's get down to business." ”

"But what if that's the case." Jarvis stretched out a hand, and under the horrified gazes of Riley and Xu Shangqi, his skin gradually disappeared, revealing a palm full of mechanical structures.

"You're actually a ......"

Before Xu Shangqi could shout, Riley covered his mouth, obviously it was the spider induction that made him anticipate it, he gestured to Wanda at Xu Shangqi, Xu Shangqi froze in place, trying to hold back his exclamation.

Jarvis looked Riley in the eye and said, "Since you entered this world, you have behaved so strangely, I can't understand why you can't control yourself, and from this point of view, I think you are also like crazy monsters." ”

"In other words, if we look at that group of monsters as monsters, then monsters look at us as monsters as well, and in the eyes of this group of monsters, walking upright, growing limbs, and having no tentacles and slime on their bodies is extremely terrifying."

Several people opened their mouths at the same time, shocked by Jarvis's speculation, and Jarvis looked at the photo on the report and said, "After the ancient one came to this world, she may have been attacked by monsters, so she destroyed New York." ”

"No, it's not." Riley denied Jarvis's speculation, saying, "I know the Ancient One, they're not that irritable and irritable, and although I think people who practice magic can seem a bit aloof and don't care much about everything, they rarely go on a killing spree, even against their enemies." ”

Riley thought for a moment and said, "Or rather, they are more inclined to destroy powerful enemies, and have always ignored the weak who attack them at all. ”

"It might have something to do with that little girl." Wanda pursed her lips and said, "The Supreme Mage will not do things for no reason, and there is no need for her to kidnap a little girl, there should be something special about that little girl." ”

Jarvis put down the newspaper, looked at a few people and said, "Let's go to the TV station, there should be a more detailed report there." ”

Several people did not delay, and after discovering important clues, they immediately packed their things and came to New York TV station after getting into the car for a while.

In the archives here, they found a lot of files about the kidnapping case, but most of them talked about how vicious the monster was and how pitiful the little girl was.

"The FBI must have been dispatched for such a big matter." Riley speculated, "I think that's where the truth of the matter will be." ”

A few people drove to the FBI, the base may be a bit difficult for ordinary people to find, but these are also regulars, in the past, because of the strict security measures, so few people will be close to the base, but after almost all the aborigines disappeared, a few people entered the base without much effort.

It took a little time to retrieve the information, but Jarvis was blessed with it, so they quickly sorted out the context of the matter.

"Jennifer Mavey, that's the name of the little girl, she's 7 years old, she has brown eyes and blonde hair, her parents are a couple of lawyers living in Queens, they have a car, a house, insurance, and the family is quite good."

"The only problem is that the information says the little girl is a 'disabled person.'"

Several people looked through the photos in all the materials, but they didn't find out where the little girl's disability was.

This is further evidenced by the video found by Jarvis in the depths of the database, and the commemorative video of her 7th birthday captures the little girl very clearly, her hands and feet are sound, and her eyesight, hearing, and speech skills are normal.

Jarvis's surgical knowledge also told him that judging from Jennifer's respiratory rate, skin color, and the range of movement of her limbs, there should be no congenital heart disease, asthma and other diseases.

Several people initially thought that she might have a mental illness, but later found that Jennifer's disability was described as "horrible" and "unacceptable" in a victim assessment report after the incident.

"Miss Jennifer has been locked up in the house by her parents since her accident, because her appearance is so ugly and terrifying, and the terrible mutation makes her frighten those around her, so the Maveys have always avoided her in public."

Riley reads out such a report, and Jarvis finds another clue, the FBI's assessment of the suspect's motive reads: "The suspect has the same degree of mutation and disability as Jennifer, which may have been her motive for kidnapping her kind." ”

"So, in the world of monsters, it's not normal to grow like us?!" Riley sighed in shock: "The monster society is still functioning, and we have been kicked out of society and become disabled and mutated monsters in their eyes?!" ”

The few were silent, but they all acknowledged it, and the dossier of the other cases they found later confirmed their suspicions, as there were monsters covered in slime and tentacles, from the suspect to the victim.

"Why didn't that little girl mutate?" Jarvis asked another question, and he pursed his lips and said, "I'm afraid we'll have to go to Jennifer's house, here...... Here are the addresses. ”

The group drove to Queens and found the Marvey family's house without much effort, and Jarvis saw several police cars parked at the door of the house, and the cordon was intact.

Once inside, Riley was familiar with the place, and the single-family homes in Queens were all similar in structure, so he quickly found the room of the little girl, Jennifer.

The room was nothing special, full of the dreaminess and warmth of a children's room, and Jarvis concluded: "It seems that Jennifer's parents did not abuse her even though they were locked up with her, and they should still love their daughter very much." ”

"What is this?" Riley suddenly pulled out a small medicine box, Jarvis hurriedly walked over, looked at the bottles of medicine, and he whispered the name of the medicine: "Fluoxetine ......"

Then he looked at the note on the pill box, and it was too small, so Jarvis whispered, "Depression in children." ”

"Jennifer has childhood depression."

Then Jarvis rummaged through the box of drugs and made a judgment: "I'm afraid she still has mania and insomnia." ”

Several people came over to stare at the pill box, but Jarvis looked at Xu Shangqi and said, "Remember your speculation?" Dream. ”

"Jennifer didn't become a monster because she didn't sleep or dream? But there are so many insomniacs in this world, so aren't they ......"

"Oh, wait." Riley interrupted his train of thought and said, "If these monsters are sane and still live in an orderly society, then they will at best treat these unmutated people as if they were severely disabled, as they did for Jennifer, and will not kill them." ”

"I guess I can guess that." Jarvis sighed lightly and said, "When the ancient one came to this world, he saw a city full of monsters, so he felt that this world was occupied by monsters. ”

"But at first, she didn't attack these monsters, because they weren't necessary, they weren't worth her bothering about, and when she was flying over New York, she saw Jennifer coming to the yard to bask in the sun."

"If it were you, what would you think if you saw a normal little girl living among a monster?"

"That little girl is a survivor, I have to save her." Wanda didn't think about it and said, "And as soon as possible, who knows if the monster next to her will eat her directly?" ”

Jarvis nodded and continued: "Maybe some of the little girl's movements attracted the attention of the ancient one, making the ancient one think that she was calling for help, so she went down and picked up the little girl and wanted to leave. ”

"But at this time, the parents who are monsters see their children being taken away, of course they won't tolerate it, they love their children, and it is impossible to allow a monster flying in mid-air to snatch her away."

"In the eyes of the parents, the ancient one is a terrible monster that can fly and is about to snatch their child, but in the eyes of the ancient one, Jennifer's parents who rushed out are monsters who want to attack the child with teeth and claws, so she may ......"

“…… With a wave of his hand, he wiped them out. Wanda's tone was low.

"Ancient one is feeling guilty about Jennifer." Riley sighed lightly and said, "It may not be long before the Ancient One learns about the situation in this world from Jennifer's mouth. ”

"The child's adaptability is very strong, everyone around her has become a monster, she may feel a short period of panic, but her parents can still communicate, will take care of her, and will love her, so she may have accepted the reality that the monster society domesticated this little girl."

"So, in Jennifer's eyes, even if the Ancient One looks the same as her, the Ancient One is a monster who killed her parents, not only will she not be grateful to the Ancient One, but she will also hate her, maybe the Ancient One is guilty for this."

The room fell silent until a few people had digested the cruel truth, and then Riley asked, "Then why did the Ancient One destroy the monsters in the whole of New York?" She knew they were still living in an orderly society......"

Several of them shook their heads, obviously unable to guess what the Supreme Mage was thinking.

In front of the round Zen window, Stark drank the last sip of tea, looked at Strange and asked:

"What would you do if one day, human beings, like ignorant lambs, were turned into monsters by the gods, living in ignorance but without knowing them?"

"Destroy them."

Stark's fingers froze.

"I know they may just be powerless to resist, but I'm still angry." Strange's expression was cruel to the point of indifference, and he stared into Stark's eyes and said, "The greatness of humanity is that it does not resign itself to fate because of weakness. ”

"Every Supreme Mage endures all the pain and exhausts all the strength just to not kneel to the gods, we are like this, and it is better for humans to be like this."

"If it is true that they no longer have a chance to resist and can only follow the path chosen for them by the gods, then at least the Supreme Mage still has the strength to give everyone a grand funeral......

"Just to slap the face?"

"No, after destroying them, go and give God a slap in the face—physical."

Extremely vindictive
