Chapter 1408: The Old Days Return (7)
In the palace of the Golden Merge, Jessica watched as Riley swung his fist in anger and hammered Matt, the monster-turned, Daredevil into the floor.
Matt was completely embedded in the ground, and when Kim was building this palace, those expensive, hard floor materials couldn't stop Riley's anger in the slightest, and if Xu Shangqi hadn't pulled him away, Jessica really suspected that Riley would have hammered Matt into a ball of meat sauce.
Riley gasped and stood up from the ground, touched his mouth with his hand, and said in a tone that would be rude to him, "Damn it! Something must have controlled him, I'll make them pay, I will! ”
Xu Shangqi patted Riley on the back, and then gave him a smooth breath from top to bottom, he knew how much influence Matt had on Spider-Man in the universe he was in, Spider-Man rarely accepted someone's care for a long time, and those who had accompanied him either left or died.
It makes them feel guilty, as if they are a disaster, but in that universe, they feel safe at the thought that even if they accept Matt's care, no one will hurt him, which can be said to be a fledgling plot in another sense.
And the reason Riley is so angry is that he is stimulated by the image of hurt Matt, and reminds him of many bad things in Spider-Man's life, and those people are finally gone, forever.
After a long while, Riley barely calmed down, he gasped, looked at Matt, who had passed out, and said, "Don't let me know who did this, I'll make them look good!" ”
"We're trying to figure that out now." Xu Shangqi pushed Riley a little farther away and gave Jessica a look, Jessica stepped forward and said, "There was an explosion two streets away, it could be that the car blew up, or it could be who was fighting, we have to go and see." ”
Riley rubbed the corner of his mouth with his arm again, he turned his head to look at Matt who was unconscious on the ground, and said with some hesitation: "We have to find a way to settle him, even if we lock him up, there is a cage in the basement here, come with me." ”
After saying that, Riley and Xu Shangqi lifted Matt together, went to the basement of Jin Ji, and threw him into the cage that is often used to lock the hounds, Xu Shangqi said while locking the cage: "I thought you wouldn't want to do this, after all, even if you become a monster, Matt was once a hero." ”
"I can't do that now!" Riley frowned and said, "None of us can be sure whether that terrible attack will come when the evening comes, so we need to get these things done as soon as possible, by any means." ”
Xu Shangqi was also silent, he could understand Riley, a sense of urgency continued to spread in his heart, just like Riley said, no one knew if the terrible spiritual attack would come one night, even if it wouldn't be tonight, maybe it would be tomorrow night.
When disaster is about to happen at night, the time of the day is especially precious, and the experience of that horrible world washes away all the laziness and leisureliness in them, and even overkill makes them have a tendency to anxiety.
They can't put it off any longer, for anything, because if they don't actively look for solutions and put them into practice, it can mean death, or something worse than death, and the instinct to survive makes them have to act quickly, without dragging their feet in the slightest.
Locked up the cage, Riley almost pulled Jessica forward, and the three of them rushed to the place where Jessica heard the movement as fast as they could, where there was an exploding truck, and the charred wreckage was scattered on the road like a freshly bloomed flower.
"There's a guy there." Xu Shangqi transported his qi to his eyes in order to make his eyesight better, he squinted his eyes and looked at the bottom of the truck, Jessica stopped the two of them, raised her gun and arched her body, and slowly leaned over.
"Captain America! It's Captain America! Back off! Jessica shouted, "He's a monster now, and he's not dead!" ”
Riley and Xu Shangqi immediately became vigilant, they could clearly see the black shadow under the charred chassis of the truck moving slightly, Xu Shangqi immediately shouted at Jessica: "Rush up and knock him unconscious, before he can fully react!" ”
Jessica gritted her teeth and stomped her foot, she kicked the few remaining wreckage of the truck and rushed up, grabbed the barrel of the gun in her hand, and gave Captain America the head with the butt, watching him twitch and lie on the ground still.
Jessica exhaled a long breath, Riley and Xu Shang rushed up angrily, seeing Captain America's fangs and sharp teeth that were also alienated, and his extremely evil face, Riley didn't even have the strength to curse, he just stared at those tentacles with a slightly cold gaze.
"Should we try to cut them off with a knife?" Jessica asked, somewhat uncertain.
Keriley and Xu Shangqi both shook their heads, Riley said: "The problem is not here at all, they should also be infected by the mind, they have not completed their evolution, and they have also been alienated into monsters, but their bodies are already strong, so monsters are also powerful." ”
"He had a wound in his chest." Xu Shangqi walked to Captain America's side, grabbed the uniform on his chest and pulled it hard, Riley saw that the uniform on Captain America's chest had been cut open, and the skin below also had a deep scar.
"Someone took his heart, but he's still alive." Riley, who was proficient in dissection, had to endure nausea as he checked Captain America's physical condition and said, "First the blows, the penetrations, then the explosions, the impacts, and the dissections, but none of them killed him." ”
Xu Shangqi felt his throat tighten a little, he tried not to imagine the process of injury described by Riley, but he still felt a little dizzy, he thought it was in the past, he must have vomited it now.
But now he didn't even have time to regurgitate, and tried to swallow the nausea that was about to rise in his throat, staring at Riley with burning eyes and saying, "What do you think is going on?" ”
"Someone spotted the anomaly and tried to kill him, but failed, and I'm pretty sure the other person was also injured and didn't run far, we have to go find him."
Xu Shangqi stood up and asked, "You guessed who that is, right?" ”
"It's supposed to be Quill and Rocket Raccoon." Riley also stood up, he didn't even look at Captain America lying on the ground, but beckoned to Jessica, and said as he walked to the edge of the street: "The claw mark on Captain America's chest is from animals, and it was a human hand that took the heart, I can't think of any other combination other than the two of them." ”
So, Xu Shangqi followed Riley forward, and Jessica chased after them holding a gun and said, "Can't you slow down?" Explain what happened to that corpse? Explain what you're doing now? ”
"There's no time." Riley paused slightly, waiting for Jessica to catch up to him, he regained his speed, looked at Jessica and said, "It's clear that some disaster is happening, the situation is much worse than we thought, we need to find a way out of it as soon as possible." ”
"You guys look experienced, a little too rich." Jessica complained: "Not everyone can accept that the national idol Captain America was dissected to death in two seconds, besides, aren't Spider-Man and Captain America good friends?" That's what the newspapers say. ”
"I had to convince myself that the guy lying on the ground right now was a monster." Riley took a deep breath, his tone trembling a little, apparently not as mentally stable as he appeared.
"Even if I know that he was once a hero, saved a lot of people, and was a good friend of the Spider-Man of this world, I have to block these and make me ruthless, otherwise Captain America of our world may also suffer this disaster."
"Well, you're the kind of calm teammates I want to meet the most." Jessica had to pick up her pace to keep up with the two of them, and at last she flew straight up, floating in mid-air, and said to them, "I'm afraid you're crying and weeping, I just burned my parents' bodies two hours before you found me." ”
"That's why you couldn't hold your gun at the time, right?" Xu Shangqi tried hard to search for comforting words in his stomach, but he couldn't say anything in the face of the current situation.
Jessica shook her head and said, "No, that's just me fighting monsters, but what I didn't expect is that you guys come from a more stable universe, but you adapt to the situation here faster than anyone else." ”
"Because we've been through worse."
After about two minutes, Riley used his spider sense to locate Quill and Rocket Raccoon, who were in the basement of a bar not far from the street, where Quill was bleeding from the top of his head, and Riley gave him an initial examination that found it to be a concussion.
Rocket Raccoon complained next to him, "I said it wasn't a good idea to use yourself as bait to set the truck on fire, the monster's shield was blown off and hit him right on the head, you know how hard that thing is!" You should be glad it didn't make your braincase bloom! ”
"Don't say that, Rocket." Quill tilted his head to the side for Riley to bandage him, and said with a smirk, "I'm an interstellar pirate, and I know how to set traps best, and we succeeded, didn't we?" ”
"Besides, if we don't use this method, we will be able to defeat him in the Year of the Monkey, and when defending against attacks, his shield will be on the right spot for the evil sect, haven't you also tried?"
"Oh, hey, buddy!" Quill gasped, and Riley apologized for his slightly rough movements, but then began to treat the wounds on Quill's arms in a more nimble manner.
"Something does happen here." Quill took the initiative to open the conversation and said: "It's a little similar to the world we experienced before, but it's different, you see that there are superheroes in this world, and they have also been turned into monsters, I suspect it may be a group of people who did it." ”
"It's even worse." Quill looked at the corner of the room, where there was a red mass of unidentified substance, which everyone had deliberately ignored before he could speak.
Quill grinned in what could be called cruel, a sharp sheen running across the surface of his teeth, and he said in a cynical tone, "I'm afraid they're immortal." ”
"I let Rocket cut his chest open, and I ripped his heart out with my own hands, just like Yongdu did to his prisoners many times, but he didn't die, and I watched a tentacle grow out of his body and take the place of the heart, and he would get even crazier."
Seeing Jessica's pale face, Quill felt a sense of joy that the prank had succeeded, but he found that the hand that was bandaging him was still calm and strong and did not tremble at all, and the scene he expected of Riley and Xu Shangqi, two young people who were not too young to be frightened by him, did not appear.
Xu Shangqi still looked a little disgusted, but he only half-knelt against the wall without saying a word, while Riley bandaged him with a slightly indifferent expression, as if he was handling a piece of pork.
"Hey, boys, react and scream, or say you're scared, I just gouged Captain America's heart out!"
"It's just a monster." Xu Shangqi pursed his lips and said: "No matter how many brilliant resumes he has, it is all in the past, take 10,000 steps back, you are also fighting back in self-defense." ”
"We really don't have time to worry about these details." Riley licked his somewhat dry lips and said, "You could accuse me of being cold and cruel for not jumping up and accusing you of gouging out the hearts of my friends and elders. ”
"But obviously, the trouble isn't over yet, and we're much better than you combined, so if you don't want another concussion, you'd better be polite to us."
Riley never dreamed that he would have a time in his life to intimidate others like a gangster, but to his delight, the intimidation worked so well that the fool in front of him kept his mouth shut.
