Chapter 1310 Interstellar Stage (XVII)
Another night spent in the hospital bed of SHIELD, Xu Shangqi fell asleep with fear and confusion. He thought that in today's dream, he would still dream of his distant hometown.
But in the hazy time, he heard someone calling his name.
"Xu Shangqi! Xu Shangqi! Come out quickly, Xu Shangqi, the school bus is leaving"
Although the other party did not use Chinese, or it was not any language in this world but a thought, Xu Shangqi was still awakened by the memory of catching the school bus in his previous life.
He woke up in a flash and shouted instinctively: "Wait, don't leave yet, I'll get a bun!"
But the next second, he stopped in place again, and the chaotic memory in his mind reminded him that he was no longer in the original world.
Thinking of his mother who got up an hour earlier every day to make breakfast for him when he was in high school so that he could catch the school bus smoothly, Xu Shangqi felt unspeakable sadness again.
Even if they are separated by a city or a province, wanderers will miss home, let alone a world away? 俌
Even wanderers will at least have a day to go home and see their relatives on vacation, and Xu Shangqi knows that even in novels, there are not many examples of time travelers returning home.
If the Marvel Universe has countless parallel universes, then other worlds must be the same. How can he find the one with his mother in the vast sea of worlds?
Just as Xu Shangqi was getting sadder and sadder, he heard the calm and gentle girl calling his name again: "Xu Shangqi...Xu Shangqi! Where is this kid named Xu Shangqi? Who is that, the crew member from the underworld, come and see, did I pronounce it wrong?"
Xu Shangqi heard that the voice seemed to come from behind him, so he instinctively turned around to see who was shouting.
But when he turned around, a huge shadow submerged him. Xu Shangqi was so scared that he fell to the ground. He looked up and stared at the huge horn that appeared above his head in amazement.
It was an incredibly huge boat, and what was even more incredible was that a female hippopotamus was standing on the bow and looking at him.
Wait, a hippopotamus standing on two feet? ? ? 俌
"So you are here." The hippopotamus goddess, standing on two feet and wearing various complicated ornaments on her neck and wrists, jumped down from the bow, pulled up Xu Shangqi who was slumped on the ground, and said, "What's wrong with you? Why didn't you answer me when I called you? You almost missed the school bus, did you know?"
"School bus? What school bus?" Xu Shangqi was confused.
"Hey, goddess, can you start the boat faster? I'm in a hurry to make up for my homework!" A younger female voice came from the bow. Xu Shangqi looked up and saw a green-haired man.
"Don't worry, little Lorna, go to my office in the cabin. There is a table there. You can do your homework there. It doesn't matter if you can't finish it. You can have a few more fights with your father to consolidate your learning content."
Lorna? Who is Lorna?
Xu Shangqi didn't react at all. He was not very sensitive to English names. Without a surname, this English name sounded like the name of a small animal in a children's picture book.
"Shua", another head popped out from the edge of the boat and shouted to the bottom: "Please, goddess, start the boat quickly, I can't beat Magneto!"
"Pietro, shut up! If you hadn't made a mistake in the content of yesterday's homework, would we have to make up for it this morning?"
"I said I wouldn't write the essay question, but you insisted on writing it, and you actually blamed me?!"
As soon as Pietro's name came out, Xu Shangqi reacted a little. He whispered: "Quicksilver, Polaris? Magneto?... Mutants, why would I dream of mutants?"
That's right, Xu Shangqi felt that he must be dreaming now. If it wasn't a dream, how could there be such a hippopotamus with both feet on the ground, looking at him with a loving face?
Xu Shangqi felt that his imagination was really good. He could actually see the maternal glow on the hippopotamus's face?
The hippopotamus goddess patted Xu Shangqi on the back and said, "Hurry up and get on the boat, kid, or we'll be late."
Xu Shangqi shrugged and simply followed the hippopotamus goddess. He thought, it was just a dream anyway, no matter how bizarre it was, there would always be a time to wake up.
It's better to say that these bizarre things in the dream are a rare moment of relaxation. After all, when you wake up, you still have to face the beginning of hell.
Xu Shangqi climbed up the ladder and got on the boat, and then he saw the Polaris siblings standing next to the rope ladder, looking at him from left to right.
"Hello." Xu Shangqi greeted.
Polaris and Pietro were both stunned for a moment, looking at Xu Shangqi as if he were an alien. Polaris opened his mouth and said, "Do you know me?"
"Ah, I don't know you, what's wrong?"
"No, it's okay."
Polaris shook his head and looked at Pietro. Pietro tilted his head and shrugged. The two looked at Shangqi's back as he left with the Hippo Goddess. Pietro lowered his voice and said, "I bet that after two classes, he will walk around you."
Polaris snorted coldly, strode towards the cabin, and said: "I guess there must be only one desk in the office. If I finish my homework, I will complain to the teacher that you didn't do your homework!"
"Hey, how can you do this?... Don't grab the desk from me!"
Xu Shangqi followed the Hippo Goddess all the way in. He found that there were quite a lot of people on the ship, and several figures looked a little familiar, as if they were some superheroes without uniforms, but because they were not wearing uniforms, Xu Shangqi couldn't recognize any of them.
They all wore typical British uniforms, to put it bluntly, the magic robes of the boarding school in "Harry Potter", but that was not actually the original magic robe of "Harry Potter". In reality, British boarding schools also wear them like this.
Fortunately, they didn't hold wands in their hands, Xu Shangqi thought, otherwise he would really have to go to "Harry Potter".
Xu Shangqi suspected that he had such a dream because he had seen the short stick that looked like a magic wand in Natasha and the agents' hands before, and he had an association with it. Just like in the world of Harry Potter, he took a boat to school. Although this boat was a little bigger, the overall process was correct.
At this time, the hippopotamus goddess had brought him to the bottom of the cabin, turned a corner, and then walked into a room. 俌
As soon as he entered the room, Xu Shangqi was almost scared to sit on the ground, because there was a figure that looked like Bai Wuchang sitting behind the desk, with a long red tongue dragging on the ground.
"Ah!!!!"
Xu Shangqi screamed. You know, as a Chinese, seeing such a thing in a dream is much more frightening than a talking hippopotamus.
What happened next was even more confusing to him. The Hippopotamus goddess stepped forward and shook hands with Bai Wuchang, saying, "Mr. Xie, this study tour and exchange trip between the two major pantheons has ended successfully. Thank you for your hard work. I will send you back after I send these little guys to school."
"You are too polite, ma'am." Bai Wuchang dragged his red tongue, which did not affect his speech at all: "The Egyptian pantheon and the Han Buddhist pantheon have the same long history, and the underworld and the underworld have been friendly for generations. This exchange activity has benefited both of us a lot... Oh, it seems that you have new students coming, I won't bother you."
The Hippopotamus goddess smiled and said, "Please."
Xu Shangqi was sure that he was dreaming. 俌
He was pushed by the Hippopotamus goddess to sit behind the table where Bai Wuchang originally sat, and began to fill out a lot of forms.
As he filled in, Xu Shangqi felt that something was wrong. Wasn't this form a bit too real? Why are there physics questions here?
Xu Shangqi looked at the test questions at the end of the form, pointed at them and asked the Hippopotamus Goddess, "Are these the questions I have to finish here?"
"Of course, this is to test which grade you will be assigned to."
"Okay, I understand all this, but what is this 'Overview of the Theory of Energy Flow in Magical Circles'?"
"That's to test magic theory, do you know magic?"
Xu Shangqi opened his mouth, the Hippopotamus Goddess's tone that was too matter-of-fact made him wonder if it would be bad to say he didn't know, but he was not used to lying, so he could only shake his head and say, "I don't know."
"Oh, it doesn't matter, just leave it blank and answer the questions you know."
Xu Shangqi thought about it, this dream was already so absurd, what was the big deal about answering questions in a dream?
So, he began to concentrate on answering the questions. The Hippo Goddess was arranging the books on the shelf beside him, but looking at Xu Shangqi's young face, she couldn't help asking: "How old are you this year? Are you still studying?"
"Theoretically, I'm 22 this year, but I'm not sure." Xu Shangqi was referring to the age of his body. Judging from the body shape, Xu Shangqi felt that this body might be younger, perhaps just 20.
"Oh, so you just graduated from college, right? Which college did you go to? Which state?"
Xu Shangqi felt that he had no idea what to answer, but he thought about it again. It was just a dream, so it didn't matter if he told the truth. So he said, "I went to a university in China, Tongji University. Have you heard of it?"
"I seem to have some impression. One of my sons' girlfriends seems to have graduated from that university." The Hippopotamus Goddess nodded, and then said, "Your grades must be very good, right? I rarely see people who can answer so many questions in the entrance exam."
"It's not bad." Xu Shangqi gave a very Chinese and humble answer, and said, "It's mainly because my GPA is pretty good, almost in the top 5% of the grade."
"Oh my God." The Hippopotamus Goddess exclaimed, and she said, "Then you are too good!"
Xu Shangqi smiled embarrassedly and said, "Actually, it's mainly for the postgraduate admission and scholarship."
"Are you a graduate student at this school?"
"I didn't." Xu Shangqi shook his head and said, "Because I want to start working early, I don't really like studying."
"Stop talking nonsense, kid." The Hippopotamus goddess came to the table with a glass of water, gently placed the glass on the table, and said, "You are a good student, Professor Charles will definitely like you."
Xu Shangqi felt that he seemed to hear a familiar name, but he was not sure, and there were still many papers in his hand that he had not finished answering, so he picked up the cup and drank a sip of water, and began to concentrate on answering questions. 俌
At some point, the cut fruit was served, and Xu Shangqi seemed to have returned to high school, while reading the questions and eating the fruit cut by his mother.
When he finished all the questions and came to his senses, he turned his head to look at the Hippopotamus goddess who was sitting next to him and dozing with her head propped up.
Sensing his gaze, the Hippopotamus goddess woke up, she saw the full test paper and screamed in surprise, and touched Xu Shangqi's head.
This can be considered a beautiful dream, Xu Shangqi thought.
