Chapter 1588 Agamotto: Vision of Time
After getting rid of the difficult Wade, Peter took advantage of the night to come to the church in the city without a sound. Here, a figure was already waiting for his arrival.
"Am I late?" Looking at the ancient one who had been waiting here, Peter said hello and climbed down the wall
It's not that he doesn't want to go through the main entrance, but that the risk of going through the main entrance is too great. Under the premise that the city is fully monitored by omnics, as long as he dares to appear on any street openly, within five minutes, he will be There will be groups of omnics appearing in front of him, chasing and intercepting him
He is not afraid of those omnics, but he doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble for himself, so he can only climb windows, walk down the sewer, and go to where he wants to go from all inconspicuous corners. This is already his habit, and for his Get used to it, Gu Yi has nothing to say
"No, you came a while earlier than we agreed, but I have seen your arrival ahead of time and prepared for it."
"See it in advance? How to see it in advance?"
For such an answer, Peter is not satisfied because it seems to him to be a perfunctory word. Surveillance is surveillance, and there is no need to give it such a high-sounding reason.
Of course, this is just his personal idea, and Gu Yi is not willing to let him take his own idea as reality. For her, the cooperative relationship between him and Peter should be more like a friend than a partner in terms of interests. So, she I will try my best to avoid any misunderstanding between them.
"Mr. Peter, do you know prophecy? Is there anything like this that you have ever heard of, seeing the most probable scenario out of an infinite number of futures?"
"I've heard that gypsy fortune-tellers will hold their crystal balls and explain to others the so-called fate. They will tell them what the so-called future is going to be in those specious languages. Is this the explanation you gave me? If so In that case, I think you still need a crystal ball!"
"Crystal ball? No, I don't need that thing. I have something more powerful than that"
With a slight smile, Gu Yi took out a peculiar pendant from under his neck, which was surrounded by a triangle circle. The gemstone in the middle emitted a dazzling green light in the outline as if the mechanism was running. This light made Peter feel threatened. Obviously, It's not as simple as a pendant
Seeing that his attention was attracted by this thing, Gu Yi immediately explained to him with a smile
"This is the Light of Truth - the Eye of Agamotto is the most powerful artifact I have. It comes from a god named Agamotto,
This god used to be one of the mighty Visandi. He was proficient in magic, but he was better at foreseeing the truth. This artifact was born through his power, which can help me see through the fog and find the truth from the past and the future. like? Would you like to try it?"
"Truth?" This term made Peter snort a little, but seeing Gu Yi's serious appearance, he couldn't completely take it as a joke. Fortunately, there is still plenty of time, so after a little hesitation, he Just gave such an answer as "If you don't want me to laugh at you, then show me what is the truth"
"Of course, Mr. Parker, if this is your wish." Gu Yixu held the Eye of Agamotto on his chest just like holding a sun, and in an instant, this ancient artifact released an incomparable The bright light, like a bright moon, completely engulfed Gu Yi and Peter together.
A magical force was pulling Peter, making him feel involuntary, and just when he was about to use his own strength to resist, Gu Yi's voice rang in his ears
"Don't resist, Mr. Parker, you and I are now in the illusion of time. If you move too much, then I can't guarantee what you will see."
"Hmph, interesting what are you going to show me?"
With a cold snort, Peter stopped the so-called resistance, and asked Gu Yi
The reason why he is so honest is not because Gu Yi deserves his trust, but because his spider sense doesn't feel any danger. To him, this is much more real than Gu Yi's words, and since there is no danger, then he I don't mind seeing what kind of tricks Gu Yi wants to play against him
"It's not what I want you to see, Mr. Parker, you should say, it's what you want to see"
Standing on a road paved with light, Gu smiled, just like a chef inviting people to taste delicious food, and he followed Peter's advice
"Look at your feet, a road representing time is under your feet. Go forward, you can see all the past and look backward, you can see endless future options in your hands, Parker At this moment, sir, you just need to make a choice."
Staring at the dazzling light under his feet, Peter turned around resolutely without hesitation for too long, and took a step backwards. The light dissipated instantly at this step, and an endless abyss suddenly appeared in front of him. tremble for it, tremble for it
It was just one step away and he was going to fall into the abyss, even he had to feel deep fear. Of course, the fear was fleeting, and what followed was a kind of anger that had been played. He turned back, his eyes shot In the flames, he wanted to question Gu Yi aggrievedly, but before he opened his mouth, Gu Yi had already walked to his side and said this to him
"The future is like this, a dark, endless abyss. You never know what is hidden in this abyss. Staring at it, you will never know what you will see in the next moment. It may be a surprise or a fright. Looking to the future for answers is absolutely stupid. I'd rather wait for the surprise to jump in front of me than stand here and wait for the shock of nothing."
"Are you kidding me? Is it fun?"
Peter frowned and asked such a question, and when he heard him say that, Gu Yi immediately laughed
"You think I'm playing tricks on you? If you think so, then why not give it a try and look behind you?"
"The same trick, do you think it can scare me a second time?"
As if out of some kind of resistance, he turned his head without hesitation, and looked behind him, but such a move made him stay there suddenly
Because he found that the environment around him has changed, and it has become a bit beyond his imagination. The old streets, the busy streets are clearly the appearance of the streets of Manhattan where he grew up.
However, he knows very well that the current Manhattan has already been destroyed by the bombing of nuclear bombs and the war with aliens, which completely turned it into ruins. It is impossible for him to see his old hometown again, and it is impossible for him to see it again. Seeing the scene he was familiar with, if there is one, then it can only be said that it is just an illusion. It was deliberately created by the wizard next to him to deceive himself
He already believed in this explanation, but just when he wanted to reprimand Gu Yi and make her stop such stupid actions, a figure appeared to block all he wanted to say
"Uncle Ben?" Familiar people plus that familiar old truck, he couldn't mistake others for him, and it was precisely because of the appearance of such a person that he began to realize that everything in front of him was just an illusion. , it is definitely an amazing illusion. At the very least, it knows what the biggest weakness in its heart is
So, let's see how far this illusion can go? With this in mind, Peter couldn't help but approached, and when he came to Ben's side, he immediately heard the familiar voice from Ben's mouth. complain
"Where did this kid Peter go? I asked him to pick up Aunt May from get off work. Doesn't he remember at all?"
"Uncle Ben?" Subconsciously wanted to talk to this Ben, but obviously, they couldn't communicate with each other. At this moment, Gu Yi also walked up to him, and began to talk to him like this
"It's just a fragment of the past Time is like a big river, each branch of the change can create a completely different now I can't say this is the past we actually lived through, but I can tell you, This is one of the countless pasts we have experienced, and you who are in the present must not be able to communicate with the past, so be a quiet spectator, Mr. Parker"
"Onlooker?" This statement confused Peter, and when he turned his gaze to his uncle, he suddenly found that his uncle was making a terrible move
Because at this time he was intercepting a man who was running wildly, and the man was holding a pistol tightly in his hand. Obviously, he would never be a kind person who stood in front of him, and he would never be safe. No one would do such a stupid thing but Peter knew his uncle, he knew his uncle would do it
And then, a gunshot came, which made his heart sink to the bottom of the valley. He subconsciously wanted to shout out, but what was faster than him was the voice of another person shouting.
"Uncle Ben!"
Another Peter Parker appeared in front of him, and hugged the old man lying on the ground fiercely. Seeing such a familiar scene, he immediately muttered to himself in disbelief
