Chapter Seventy-Three: When Loki Meets Star-Lord
In a dilapidated hospital, a little boy sits quietly with a headset on his head and seems to be playing music.
It was a man with white hair slowly crouching in front of him, "Pete, your mother wants to talk to you. ”
"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"
The little boy did not respond.
The man looked at it, reached out and gently pulled the headphones off Pete's head, "Hurry up, Pete, take this thing off." ”
It wasn't until the music became quieter that the little boy slowly opened his eyes, and there seemed to be an indissoluble sadness in them.
The man turned off the music player connected to the headphones and gave it back to Pete.
After Pete took it, he put on his schoolbag with the help of the man and slowly walked into the hospital room facing him.
In the room, a circle of doctors and nurses was surrounding a woman who was extremely frail and had shaved hair.
Pete walked over to the bedside, and the woman looked at his somewhat blue eyes, "Why are you fighting with someone again, kid?" ”
Pete shrugged his shoulders with his head down and didn't speak.
"Pete?"
The woman laughed and called his name.
"They killed an innocent frog... With a stick...", Pete whispered.
The woman looked at Pete, "You're like your father... It also looks like... He's an angel, and he radiates a pure glow—" she was a little agitated.
"Merry?" The man who came in with Pete said softly, "Don't you have a gift for Pete?" ”
"Yes," Merry's wandering gaze returned to Pete, and she struggled to move her left hand, and although the small box wrapped in fine gift paper lay at her hand, it still took a lot of effort, "Here you are..."
The man took it, "I'll help you put it in." He packed the gift into Pete's bag.
"Can you open it when I'm gone? Your grandfather will take care of you. ”
The man behind Pete nodded silently.
"Until one day, your dad came back and picked you up..."Merry's breath became a little short, and she raised her hand slightly as best she could, "Take my hand..."
But before Pete could make a move, the electrocardiogram on the side became a straight line like stagnant water.
Crying heartbreakingly, he was carried out of the ward by his grandfather, "Stay here, then don't go, okay?" ”
With that, the man turned back to the ward, and then it seemed that a few more doctors had gone in, but Pete didn't care at all.
He ran out of the hospital in a frenzy and fell to his knees on the lawn not far away.
"No," he coughed violently, the fog around him slowly enveloping him in the night.
At that moment, a roar rang out, and a light as bright as day suddenly illuminated Pete and his surroundings, and Pete looked up to see a strangely shaped spaceship slowly hovering over his head.
The next moment, the spaceship suddenly launched a pillar of light, and the skinny Pete disappeared in an instant.
......
"Hmm!" The man's eyes opened suddenly, and it wasn't until he saw the familiar ceiling that his body gradually softened.
"Hell...", patting his aching head, the man staggered out of bed, "It's been 26 years, are you still torturing me, Mom?" ”
"Where is this?"
He walked to the cab and glanced at the navigation above, "This new automatic driving is not good, why did it stop halfway through?" ”
At this time, the AI in the spaceship said: "It detects that there is a super-large fleet ahead, and the spacecraft automatically stops to avoid it." ”
"Avoid?" The man looked at the ships in front of him that were large enough to be the size of the fleet, "How do I feel that they are coming at me?" ”
That's right, even if his small ship has chosen to avoid it, the fleet group is still slowly sailing towards him.
At this time, the ship's public address system sounded, "This is the Asgardian fleet, repeat, this is the Asgardian fleet, may I ask if the captain of your ship is Peter Jason Quill?" ”
In desperation, he had no choice but to take out the walkie-talkie: "This is the Aurora, yes, my name is Peter Jason Quayle." ”
"Captain Quill is also invited to move to the mothership of Asgard, and His Majesty our King Loki is invited."
"Of course, I'll be there right away."
After putting down the walkie-talkie, Peter Jason Quayle, or Pete, racked his brains to find out if he knew a man named Loki, and he was also a king.
But unfortunately, he is sure that the two do not have any friendship.
He piloted the Aurora as he approached the Asgardian mothership, surrounded by a pile of warships, and a wide silver pipe slowly connected the two, and Peter Quill walked through the passage to meet King Asgard with his back to him.
"Hello, Venerable King of Asgard, uh... I don't know how to bow down, do you have any customs over there? Pete didn't know whether to salute or get down on one knee.
Loki slowly turned around, looked him up and down, and suddenly smiled, "It doesn't have to be like this, Asgard is not a feudal country. ”
"Your Majesty, I don't know if you're looking for me," asked Peter Quier.
"Don't be so restrained, sit."
Loki said, slowly returning to his seat, and Peter Quill sat across from him.
"I heard you've found something amazing lately?" Loki laughed.
"You mean, Cosmic Spirit Orb?" Peter Quill asked.
Loki snapped his fingers in satisfaction, "You also know that I, Asgard, like these mysterious treasures the most, as long as you are willing to cut your love, I promise to give you a satisfactory price." ”
"Of course, I'm also in a hurry to make a move now, and there are quite a few people in the entire universe who are eyeing him." Peter Quill laughed.
"Yes, it's a hot potato for you, but it's just a ball for Asgard." Loki laughed.
"Of course, Asgard's prestige has been spreading throughout the universe." Peter Quayle smiled and complimented.
"Haha, your 'Star-Lord' name is also thunderous."
After a business blow, Loki got on Peter Quayle's spaceship and flew into the depths of the universe.
......
Forsaken Star, Morrag.
The ship slowly came to rest on the edge of a steep canyon, and in the meantime, geothermal jets broke through the landmarks and flew high into the sky.
Heavily armed, Loki and Peter Quill disembarked from the ship and slowly walked towards their destination under the raging wind and hail.
Peter Quill took out a peculiar instrument, but it didn't seem to be very useful, so in order not to lose face in front of the gold owner, he shook it twice vigorously, and finally it worked.
The ice-blue light shone on the ruins in front of you, and you could see the buildings before the ruins slowly building up in the light, and you could even see the people who were moving here at the time.
"Interesting stuff." Loki couldn't help but sigh when he saw it.
"Gadgets on the technology side, if Your Majesty wants it, I'll buy a new one after a while and go to Asgard to give it to you in person." Peter Quill laughed.
Loki laughed, "I don't care about reimbursement. ”
