Chapter 1396 The Call of the Stars (Twenty-Two)

Xu Shangqi, who has watched countless horror movies, deeply understands a truth. If one day, you travel to the world of horror movies, then the most important way to survive in the dangerous horror movie journey is "not to be curious".

Don't be curious about how the world has become like this, don't be curious about what the world will become, don't be curious about what this is and what that is, and most importantly, don't be curious about where you come from and where you are going.

There is no mission that must be completed, and there is no truth that must be explored. At the moment of doomsday, these are not important. What is important is to live. This is the idea of ​​Xu Shangqi, an ordinary person.

Of course, this may not be the case for superheroes, because they have abilities beyond ordinary people, and they will feel that it is normal for them to shoulder the mission of saving the world.

But it is obvious that in this hellish world where Xu Shangqi is now, superpowers will only backfire, and even wisdom and acumen will backfire.

"What happened to the two of them?" Jarvis sat by the bonfire on the roof, looked at Wanda, who looked dazed, and then looked at Riley, who was trembling all over, with a blank look on his face.

"Am I abnormal, or are they abnormal?" Jarvis looked down at his hands. This was not actually a question, but Xu Shangqi immediately answered: "They are abnormal."

Jarvis covered his eyes with his hands and said: "What is going on? Why can't we just use magic to eliminate monsters? Or open a portal to go home?"

"Haven't you noticed yet?" Xu Shangqi looked at Jarvis helplessly and said: "The disasters in this world are far more than those monsters on the street, or do you think these monsters can really be called disasters?"

Jarvis looked around. Even if the roof of the bar was not high, it was enough to have a clear view of several nearby streets. There was everything very quiet there, no chaos, no screams, and the flashing black shadows were just blindly chasing the slightest sound, without causing much damage.

So how did New York become so dilapidated now? Jarvis couldn't understand, as if an invisible hand smashed everything in New York, and then took it back.

Xu Shangqi pointed to his temple with one finger and said, "This kind of disaster may be a direct attack on the human spirit, otherwise why would the two of them become like this?"

"Then you..." Jarvis was about to ask, "Why are you okay?", but he quickly remembered, why is he okay? Because he is actually a robot?

Xu Shangqi reached out and pinched the jade pendant around his neck, and silently recited the Qingxin Jue in his heart again, but his tone still contained a slight tremor. He said, "Not thinking, not associating, and blocking all intuition and induction may be better... but only better."

Xu Shangqi swallowed his saliva. He could clearly feel that the operation of the skills was becoming more and more awkward. In the endoscopic field of vision, the words of the Qingxin Jue that built a high wall for the atrium had obvious shaking.

Xu Shangqi knew that once this high wall collapsed, he would not be much better than Riley and Wanda, but by then, because his power was weaker than the two, the damage he could cause after losing control would be a little smaller.

Riley, who had been tortured by the strong spider sense, seemed to finally be unable to bear it. He began to shake his body back and forth, pounding his forehead with his fists, and spewing incoherent mumbling.

"It's not spider sense, it's not spider sense, the sound I heard in my head is not spider sense..."

"What is that?" Jarvis asked instinctively.

Xu Shangqi wanted to cover his mouth with his hand, but it was too late. Riley shook even more violently. When he shook forward, his head was almost hitting the ground. He screamed:

"That's not spider sense, it's... that's..." Riley raised his head and said in an operatic tone: "... That's a song!"

Riley jumped up and instinctively waved his fist in the air. Xu Shangqi didn't care about much and rushed over to hold him down, but his strength was no match for Spider-Man, and he was thrown out in one round.

With a "bang", Xu Shangqi fell heavily to the ground. He covered his chest and screamed in pain, but when he heard his scream, Riley paused, shook his head vigorously, and seemed to regain some consciousness.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jarvis rushed forward and pressed him down. Jarvis's strength was much greater than Xu Shangqi's, but as Riley's struggle became more and more intense, Jarvis could no longer hold him down.

Xu Shangqi staggered to his feet, but before he could rush over, Riley directly lifted Jarvis away, even rushed towards Jarvis, and strangled his neck.

Just when Xu Shangqi wanted to rush over to save Jarvis, Riley suddenly let go again. He stretched out his fist and punched himself, even directly hitting himself so that the corner of his mouth bled.

"Riley! Riley! Calm down!" Xu Shangqi shouted.

In Xu Shangqi's vision, Riley opened his eyes wide, stared at the sky, and then slowly knelt down, his face full of horror.

But if you look closely, amidst the tide of fear surging on his face and in his eyes, there is also a wave of unshakable determination.

When the trembling young man stood up, it was as if he was carrying a heavy burden on his shoulders, and the sound of his bones being crushed was tooth-grinding.

The huge power from Spider-Man resisted the invisible pressure. Riley struggled to stand up as if all his bones were broken in another world, but fell down helplessly.

"Xu... Xu..." Riley called Xu Shangqi's name in a dying tone. Xu Shangqi hurried over. Riley's dilated pupils couldn't even focus, but he still squeezed out a sentence from his teeth:

"Branches, branches... Give me, give me branches..."

Xu Shangqi was stunned for a moment. Riley twisted his head with all his strength. His lifeless eyes fell on the campfire next to him. His chest seemed to be pressed by a big stone. He didn't move, but his limbs began to twitch.

"Quick, quick... I can't be controlled by it, go quickly!!"

In Riley's sharp screams, Xu Shangqi didn't care about much. He staggered to the campfire and picked up a branch that was not completely burned.

Riley straightened his upper body as if in a last gasp, snatched the branch from Xu Shangqi's hand, his lips began to open and close uncontrollably, the syllables of the song seemed to have reached the tip of his tongue, about to blurt out.

Tears kept overflowing from the young man's eyes. The hardships he had to bear from Spider-Man's tragic fate, the sufferings that made him think about the meaning of his existence countless times, made Riley firm as if he had strangled the throat of fate when he grabbed this branch.

In Xu Shangqi's shocked eyes, Riley grabbed one end of the branch, and then stabbed the sharper other end into his eardrum fiercely.

"Puff! Puff!"

With blood pouring out of Riley's two ears, the young man finally let go of his hands, as if he had untied the restraints, his hands fell down, Jarvis rushed over and held Riley's head, but Riley could no longer hear what he was saying.

Xu Shangqi walked to Riley's side, looking at Riley's bleeding ears, the fear that he could not resist at all, gradually took root in his heart.

Riley sat back by the campfire, staring at the flames. Xu Shangqi and Jarvis also sat by the campfire. Jarvis mouthed to Riley, "Are you okay?"

"I want to talk as little as possible." Riley said in a dry voice, "It wants me to sing..."

Jarvis was silent, then he looked up at Xu Shangqi and said, "Are we waiting here? When?"

"Wait until dawn." Xu Shangqi swallowed his saliva and said, "We have to wait until dawn."

"Will it really be dawn?" Wanda's voice came, she didn't realize that her tone was becoming more and more ethereal and frivolous, and she didn't realize that she had been staring at the flames for a long time.

"Can you still contact Xithorne?"

When Jarvis' voice came, Wanda regained some consciousness. Wanda took a deep breath, rubbed her eyes with both hands, and then said, "I'll try."

After that, she closed her eyes and concentrated, and then heard a hint of echo in the completely dark chaos.

"What is that?" Sithorn's voice came intermittently.

Wanda was puzzled.

"Behind you."

Wanda began to fear.

"Wanda..." Sithorn's voice became weaker and weaker, and before their connection was cut off, Sithorn still tried to speak and left a piece of advice:

"Remember, don't close your eyes before dawn."

Wanda woke up suddenly and found that Xu Shangqi and Jarvis were staring at her. Jarvis asked, "What did Sithorn say?"

Wanda shook her head.

The night was getting darker, but it also meant that the sun was getting closer and closer. Wanda kept staring at the flames.

Wanda's eyes were dry and tears were flowing, but she didn't dare to blink anymore. The darkness left when her eyes opened and closed became longer and longer. She knew that if she closed her eyes, something would open her eyes for her.

Suddenly, Wanda, with bloodshot eyes, stretched out a hand and picked up a branch with some trembling.

Jarvis looked at her in horror, but a chaos barrier rose in front of Wanda, blocking Xu Shangqi and Jarvis.

Behind the barrier, Wanda's eyes became redder and redder, and then she began to shed tears. Her face showed a childlike innocence and holiness, as well as the helplessness of a little girl.

"It's coming, it's coming..." Wanda's crying voice could no longer be suppressed. She panted and trembled, shook her head slightly uncontrollably, and cried:

"My talent allows me to turn the virtual into the real, and if I see them when I close my eyes, they can really come, come into my body, and get my power..."

"What's wrong with you? Wanda! Don't do stupid things!" Jarvis kept knocking on the barrier, but Wanda looked at him with tearful eyes and said:

"If I lose control, you will all die... I can't let it come!"

"But it's almost dawn!" Jarvis shouted.

Wanda kept swallowing her saliva, obviously she was extremely scared. She looked at Jarvis with slightly dull eyes and said:

"The moment before dawn, the chaos is the most intense... it's coming!"

At this moment, amidst the fear and cowardice on Wanda's face, a powerful aura inherited from her father that could not be challenged emanated, and she shouted in a tone she had never used before:

"I said - you can't come!!!"

The powerful power of chaos spread out, knocking Xu Shangqi and Jarvis to the ground, and the endless red light became more and more intense in the darkness of the last moment before dawn.

Then, all the power gathered into Wanda's body and flowed into her eyes, making her eyes like sparkling will-o'-the-wisp, retaining the last bit of light for the bonfire that had long been extinguished in the extremely dark night.

After all the chaotic power controlled by Wanda condensed into her eyes, the branch in her hand was inserted into her eye socket. She raised her head, her red hair swung back, and she let out a terrible scream:

"Ugh!!!!"

And the ruthlessness and decisiveness inherited from her father made Wanda continue to exert force until she gouged out her eyes.

The eyeball rolled to the ground, and the uncontrolled chaotic power seemed to be surging out again. Wanda used up her last bit of strength to crush the eyeball, letting her power disappear into ashes along with those strange shapes. The Scarlet Witch roared in a barbaric tone she had never used before:

"Get out!!!!!!!"

The Scarlet Witch, who had lost all her power, knelt on the ground, raised her head, and stared at the starry sky with her empty eyes that were bleeding, like a statue abandoned in the ruins of an altar because it was not pious enough.

But the blood flowing from her eyes was like the moss of an inn in the endless desolate time. In addition to the stable fate bestowed by God, it grew wildly with an unshakable, powerful and fresh vitality.

As the first light of dawn shone into the eternally solidified ruins, the stars that stared at all this retreated unwillingly.

Endless brilliance rose from the distant horizon, and the golden morning mist was like surging waves, gently and powerfully brushing over the ruins of the city.

The long first night finally passed and the day dawned.
