Chapter 1408: Return of the Old Days (VII)

In Kingpin's palace, Jessica watched Riley swing his fist in anger and hammer Matt, the monster-turned Daredevil, into the floor.

Matt was completely embedded in the ground. When Kingpin built this palace, the expensive, hard floor materials could not stop Riley's anger at all. If Xu Shangqi hadn't pulled him away, Jessica really suspected that Riley would have hammered Matt into a meat paste.

Riley stood up from the ground panting. He touched his mouth with his hand and said in a rude tone to him: "Damn it! Something must be controlling him. I will make them pay the price. I will!"

Xu Shangqi patted Riley on the back, and then calmed him down from top to bottom. He knew how much influence Matt in his universe had on Spider-Man. Spider-Man rarely accepted someone's care for a long time. Those who had accompanied him either left or died.

This would make them feel quite guilty, as if they were a disaster star, but in that universe, they felt safe when they thought that even if they accepted Matt's care, no one would hurt him. This could be said to be another kind of fledgling complex.

The reason why Riley was particularly angry was that the image of Matt being hurt stimulated him and reminded him of many bad things in Spider-Man's life. Those people eventually left, forever.

After a long while, Riley managed to calm down. He took a breath and looked at Matt who had fainted and said, "Don't let me know who did this. I'll make them pay!"

"We're going to figure this out now." Xu Shangqi pushed Riley a little further away and winked at Jessica. Jessica walked up and said, "There was an explosion two streets away. It could be a car explosion or someone fighting. We have to go and see."

Riley rubbed the corner of his mouth with his arm again. He turned his head and looked at Matt who was unconscious on the ground. He said hesitantly, "We have to find a way to settle him down, even if it means locking him up. There is a cage in the basement here. Come with me."

After that, Riley and Xu Shangqi lifted Matt together, went to Kingpin's basement, and threw him into the cage used to keep hounds. Xu Shangqi locked the cage and said, "I thought you wouldn't be willing to do this. After all, even if he became a monster, Matt was once a hero."

"I can't care about these things now!" Riley frowned and said, "Now none of us can be sure whether the terrible attack will come when night comes, so we have to complete these things 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 whether a terrible mental attack would come one night, even if it didn't happen tonight, maybe tomorrow night.

When a disaster is about to happen at night, the daytime becomes particularly precious. The experience of that terrifying world has washed away all their laziness and leisure, and even overcorrected them to have a tendency to anxiety.

They couldn't delay any longer, for anything, because not actively looking for solutions and putting them into practice might mean death, or something more terrible than death. The instinct for survival forced them to act quickly, without any delay.

After locking the cage, Riley almost dragged Jessica forward, and the three of them rushed to the place where Jessica heard the noise at the fastest speed. There was an exploded truck there, and the charred wreckage was scattered on the road, like a flower that had just bloomed.

"There's a person there." Xu Shangqi moved his qi to his eyes to make his vision better. He squinted his eyes and looked at the bottom of the truck. Jessica stopped the two of them, raised the gun, bent her body, and slowly moved over.

"Captain America! It's Captain America! Stand back!" Jessica shouted, "He's a monster now, and he's not dead!"

Riley and Xu Shangqi immediately became alert. They could clearly see the burnt chassis of the truck and shouted, "Go up and knock him out before he fully reacts!"

Jessica gritted her teeth and stomped her feet. She kicked away the few remaining wreckage of the truck and rushed forward, grabbed the barrel of the gun in her hand, and hit Captain America's head hard with the butt of the gun. She watched him twitch and lie on the ground motionless.

Jessica let out a long breath, and Riley and Xu Shangqi rushed up. Seeing Captain America's alienated sharp teeth and extremely evil face, Riley didn't even have the strength to curse. He just stared at the tentacles with a slightly cold look.

"Should we try to cut them off with a knife?" Jessica asked uncertainly.

But Riley and Xu Shangqi both shook their heads. Riley said, "The problem is not here at all. They should have been infected by the mind. They did not complete their evolution and were transformed into monsters. It's just that their bodies are strong, so the monsters are strong."

"There is a wound on his chest." Xu Shangqi walked to the side of Captain America, grabbed his uniform and pulled it hard. Riley saw that Captain America's uniform was cut open, and

"Someone took his heart, but he's still alive." Riley, who is proficient in anatomy, had to hold back his nausea. He checked Captain America's physical condition and said, "First, he was hit and penetrated, then exploded, impacted, and cut open his heart, but none of these killed him."

Xu Shangqi felt his throat tighten a little. He tried not to imagine the injury process described by Riley, but still felt a little dizzy. He thought that if it were in the past, he would have vomited now.

But now he didn't even have time to feel sick. He tried hard to swallow the nausea that was about to rise in his throat, stared at Riley with burning eyes and said, "What do you think happened?"

"Someone found something unusual and tried to kill him, but failed. I'm sure he was also injured and didn't run far. We have to go find him."

Xu Shangqi stood up and asked, "You guessed who it was, right?"

"It should be Quill and Rocket Raccoon." Riley also stood up. He didn't even look at Captain America lying on the ground. Instead, he waved to Jessica and walked to the edge of the street while saying, "The claw marks on Captain America's chest came from animals, and the one who took away the heart was a human hand. I can't think of any other combination except these two."

So, Xu Shangqi followed Riley forward, and Jessica chased after them with a gun and said, "You Can't you slow down? Explain what happened to the body? Explain what you are going to do now? "

"No time." Riley paused for a moment, waiting for Jessica to catch up with him. He regained his speed, looked at Jessica and said, "It is obvious that some disaster is happening. The situation is much worse than we thought. We have to find a way out as soon as possible."

"You look experienced, a little too experienced." Jessica complained, "Not everyone can accept that the national idol Captain America was killed by someone cutting his heart in two seconds. Besides, aren't Spider-Man and Captain America good friends? That's what the newspaper said."

"I have to convince myself that the guy lying on the ground now is a monster." Riley took a deep breath, his tone trembling a little, and it was obvious that his mental state was not as stable as he showed.

"Even though I know he was once a hero, saved many people, and was good friends with Spider-Man in this world, I have to block these things and become ruthless, otherwise Captain America in our world might also suffer the same disaster."

"Well, you are the kind of calm teammates I want to meet the most." Jessica had to speed up her pace to keep up with the two of them. In the end, she flew up and floated in the air, saying to them: "I'm really afraid that you will be so slow and sad. Two hours before you found me, I just burned the bodies of my parents."

"Is that why you couldn't hold the gun steadily at that time?" 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, I was just exhausted from fighting the monster, but I didn't expect that you came from a more stable universe, but you adapted to the situation here faster than anyone else."

"Because we have experienced worse."

About two minutes later, Riley took the initiative to use his spider sense to find Quill and Rocket Raccoon. They were staying in the basement of a bar not far from this street. Quill's head was bleeding. After a preliminary examination, Riley found that it should be a concussion.

Rocket Raccoon complained beside him: "I told you long ago that it's not a good idea to use yourself as bait to set the truck on fire. The shield that monster was holding was blown away and hit him on the head. You know how hard that thing is! You should be thankful that it didn't make your head explode!"

"Don't say that, Rocket." Quill tilted his head to the side and let Riley bandage him. He smiled foolishly and said, "I was born as a space pirate. I know how to set traps best. We succeeded, didn't we?"

"Besides, if we don't use this method, we will never be able to defeat him. His shield is so accurate when defending against attacks. Didn't you try it too?"

"Oh, hey, buddy!" Quill took a breath of cold air. Riley apologized for his slightly rough action, but then began to treat the scars on Quill's arm with a more skillful method.

"Something did happen here." Quill took the initiative to open the conversation and said, "It's somewhat similar to the world we experienced before, but also different. You saw that there are superheroes in this world, and they have also been turned into monsters. I suspect that it might be done by a group of people."

"What's worse is that." Quill cast his eyes to the corner of the room, where there was a mass of red unknown substance, and everyone deliberately ignored that thing before he spoke.

Quill grinned, revealing a cruel smile, with a sharp luster passing across the surface of his teeth. He said in a cynical tone: "I'm afraid they are immortal."

"I let Rocket cut open his chest, and I pulled out his heart myself, just like Yondu did to his prisoners many times, but he didn't die. I saw with my own eyes a group of tentacles growing out of his body and replacing his heart. He will become even crazier."

Seeing Jessica's pale face, Quill felt happy that his prank was successful, but he found that the hand that was bandaging him was still steady and strong without shaking at all. The scene he expected that Riley and Xu Shangqi, two young people, would be scared by him did not happen.

Xu Shangqi still looked a little disgusting, but he just half-knelt by the wall without saying a word, while Riley bandaged him with a slightly indifferent expression, just like handling a piece of pork.

"Hey, boys, give some reaction, scream, or say you are scared, I just dug out Captain America's heart!"

"It's just a monster." Xu Shang said with a frown: "No matter how glorious his resume is, it's all in the past. At the very least, you are also fighting back in self-defense."

"We really don't have time to care about these details." Riley licked his dry lips and said: "You can accuse me of being cold and cruel for not jumping up and accusing you of digging out the hearts of my friends and elders."

"But obviously, the trouble is not over yet, and we are much stronger than you. If you don't want to have 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 joy, the intimidation was very effective, and the fool in front of him shut up.
