Jessica woke up from her trance and felt a chill on her cheeks, and she reached out to wipe away her tears with her sleeve, trying not to look at the other three's concerned gazes.

"Damn, don't look at me like that, like I'm a little girl at a loss, you damn men, don't treat me as a weakling, don't try to manipulate me anymore!" Jessica shouted, but soon she covered her face again, parted the gap between her fingers, and showed her own eyes and said, "Don't mind, not about you, but about that damn sadistic purple man." ”

"It's okay." Riley gently put his arm around her shoulder and said, "You are a victim, it is normal to break down and cry, we can understand it completely, and you don't have to hide it." ”

Jessica's expression became a little dazed again, as if she remembered something, and Quill asked with some curiosity, "Did you see him?" ”

"Do you mean the black sun?" Jessica pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment and said, "If you mean those visions that you see like you are dreaming in your sleep, yes, I do." ”

"What did he say?"

"He didn't say anything, he didn't seem to be able to speak." Jessica shook her head and said with some confusion, "But I instinctively felt that he could be trusted, so I told him my story, about ......"

Jessica took a deep breath, and it seemed that she still couldn't say it well, which had been buried in the deepest part of her heart.

"There was everything about me being kidnapped, being mentally and physically abused, and going through the apocalypse...... I talked a lot, and I was so verbose that I praised their children's soccer moms, and oh my God, it's good that he can't speak, otherwise how can he bear my complaints? ”

Jessica covered her face and said as if she was reproaching herself, "He's kind of a tree hole in the traditional sense, well, I think so, and I hope he doesn't feel offended." ”

"But I can tell my secret to a demon god, not my parents, right? Because my good or bad has nothing to do with a god, he may not have listened or cared at all, but my parents can't, and they would be very sad if they found out what happened to me, so I can't tell them. ”

"Haven't you tried praying to God before?" Quill asked, "Isn't it the same principle?" ”

"Actually, I tried." Jessica swallowed and said, "In the process of controlling me, I occasionally came to my senses, but I knew I couldn't move, so I said to myself, God, come and save me." ”

"But I know God won't come, and if He really loves me, He won't let me get to this point, but I'm actually very deceiving, and if He lets me see something with wings and a circle of light coming, even if it's just a hallucination of my trauma, I'm willing to tell Him everything."

"Perhaps, the black sun is a god using illusions to perfunctory human beings, but even so, I am happy, after all, in the first ten years of my life, people did not even have the slightest patience to perfunctory me."

Jessica wiped tears from her face with the back of her hand and said, "Thank you for allowing me to find a way to talk, although I know it won't help the current situation, I may have wasted this opportunity." ”

"No, Jessica." Riley looked her in the eye and said, "You can give up your negative and self-destructive mentality, that's the biggest help to us, you don't even realize how strong you are." ”

Jessica clutched the gun in her hand tightly, but Riley shook her head and said, "You don't need to use a gun at all, I said use your fists." ”

"You should try it, girl." Quill raised his chin at Jessica and said, "Punch him in the face, or whatever, and you'll know how good you are." ”

Riley stood up, moved her wrists and ankles, and beckoned at Jessica, who was still reluctant to put down the gun, but in the end she hesitated for a long time, threw the gun aside, and began to move her wrists.

Jessica gave Riley a punch, but not in the face, but in the chest, and she didn't exert all her strength and didn't fly, but Riley flew straight out anyway.

Of course, if Riley fought back, he should have been able to get Jessica flying, but since it was a test of strength, he didn't fight back.

Riley patted the dust off his body as he got up from the ground, coughed vigorously twice, and said, "God, if you had used your fists earlier, there wouldn't have been so much trouble, you are much more powerful than Jinji, and you can fly." ”

Jessica muttered, sat back down by the campfire, and said, "Maybe it's just that you're too light, you should eat more." ”

"My muscles and bones are dozens of times denser than the average person, and you've just barely knocked a truck off with a single punch."

"Actually, I already knew I had such power." Jessica lowered her head and said, "But please believe me, I didn't use it before, it's not that I didn't want to use it, but the influence of that damn control freak is still in my head." ”

"He wanted me to forget about my strength so I couldn't resist him, so I couldn't use it before, but now it's much better, and people always say that talking makes people less stressed, and I think so."

"Perhaps, this is also a blessing on another level." Quill got up from the ground, rubbed his somewhat sore forehead, and said, "He gave us three truths, gave you relief, and even a little understanding, didn't he?" ”

"I always felt like we shouldn't make fun of him like that." Xu Shangqi also stood up, and then half-knelt down to extinguish the bonfire, and Riley helped him by the side.

"I don't think he minds, it's amazing that in many beliefs, the presence of gods is always so strong." Jessica shook her head and expressed her opinion, and she continued, "It's as if these gods desperately want to occupy an important place in the hearts of believers, and he demands piety from believers by all means. ”

"They endlessly demand that the believer see the god as another superior individual, to weaken the ego as much as possible in order to give everything for him, and the elaborate sacrificial rituals and lengthy prayers are all designed to extinguish individuality and tame people."

"But I always feel that the black sun wants us to focus on ourselves, and he wants us to have faith, but faith in our own beliefs." Jessica opened her mouth for a moment, as if she didn't know how to explain it, but she said with an intuition: "Instead of seeing him as another high object, not revering him, but making him a part of ourselves, and then believing in some of our own qualities." ”

"Maybe I'll choose 'unwinding'." Jessica stroked her chest and said, "If I believe I can ease my emotions, maybe I can be more empowered, I think that's what he wants to see." ”

"But I'm still a little confused, what's in it for him?" Jessica frowned in confusion and said as if asking herself, "Will he need our strength at some point?" Will the harvest come someday? ”

"I think he probably enjoyed the process." Quill sighed softly and said, "You may think it's incredible, but we can't understand the thoughts of the demon gods, they see the world from a different perspective than we do. ”

"Weak, intelligent beings seek gain and loss, but perhaps the higher beings have long since abandoned these, and they are like silent observers, who are meant to observe the changes in the world, the changes in us, and the changes in all of us."

"Like cultivation?"

"It's like cultivation."

"I think you're describing him as too ruthless." Xu Shangqi objected, he clenched his hands into fists, coughed twice and said, "Don't you feel some emotional ups and downs when he tells the story of this universe?" ”

"'Emotional ups and downs'? Listen to your diction, you see who else here but you would use this word? I really don't understand that. Quill shrugged and fed the Rocket Raccoon the cookies he had taken out of the store.

Riley was also at a loss, Xu Shangqi frowned and said, "Is it only me who feels it?" Black Sun didn't like the damn Vendetta League, but he was contemptuous of them at best, and he didn't like Mar Weil even more, and he could feel the slightest annoyance with him. ”

"You mean, he's human?" Riley asked, frowning.

Xu Shangqi nodded and said: "Inevitably, he is not just a question and answer machine and a wishing pool, he must have wisdom and emotion, as well as his own likes and dislikes." ”

"But we don't feel it, is this your patent?"

Xu Shangqi pursed his lips and said, "No matter what, I have a lot of sympathy with him, I heard that Captain Marvel is a hero before." ”

Xu Shangqi is naturally referring to the movie "Captain Marvel", he is not impressed by this movie, it may be that it is not to his taste when he watches it, but Captain Marvel should indeed be a superhero, not a monster that affects the entire universe in order to satisfy his desire for destruction.

"You think it's going to be a kind of ...... for him Implied? Jessica sensed something more subtle, and she tilted her head slightly and said, "He probably didn't ask for anything in return?" ”

"Is this the reward he asks for, we will definitely have to deal with Mar Weir, we can only say, if this can make him happy, it will be a lot of money, I hope he can be happy, maybe the next time I have any troubles, I can also use him as a tree hole." Riley raised an eyebrow and said.

"So, we're the family of the old man? No tentacles, no tumors, not even much power, that's all? Jessica said.

As they walked down the sewer together, Riley shook his head and said, "That's the best, I've been a complete atheist since I worked in the Holy of Holies for a while, and you don't know how stupid, annoying, and difficult to communicate with those demon gods are." ”

"If there were such a god pointing fingers at me above the head, I might really be tempted to punch him, and that's fine now."

"We're back to square one, since you haven't gained great power, how are you going to deal with Marville and the Vendetta Alliance?"

"Knowledge and truth are the most powerful forces." Riley spoke, "From this story, we know several weaknesses in the Vendetta's Alliance. ”

Riley then explained, "First, we know that this madness can't pollute the machines, so Riley can build robots to deal with them; Second, there are survivors on Earth, which should be a group of robots, with whom we can unite against the Vendetta Alliance; Third, they are planning to invade other universes, and perhaps we can find a way to interfere with their decision. ”

"Don't let them invade other universes?"

"Let them invade the universe we want them to invade."

"But no universe should be ......"

Xu Shangqi suddenly stopped, he stared at Riley with wide eyes, Riley spread his hand, smiled and said.

"There must be a universe that welcomes them...... This season's membership gifts haven't been settled yet. ”

Sorry for being late
