Chapter 1409: Return of the Old Days (VIII)

The rest time was very short. Before Riley could completely treat Quill's wounds, he heard a commotion on the ground, an evil female laugh, and then the "rumble" of the earth breaking.

Jessica clenched the shotgun in her hand, walked towards the door, and said, "I'll go see what's going on."

"I'll go with you." Xu Shangqi followed her. He pulled Jessica's arm. Jessica looked back at him. Xu Shangqi shook his head and said, "We can't just rush up like this. You stand next to me and I'll do a trick to cover my eyes."

The two left quickly, and Riley and Quill exchanged intelligence with each other. Quill obviously knew more than Riley. Riley and Matt's fight ended quickly because Spider-Man wanted to vent his anger. Matt was hammered into the ground with almost no power to fight back, but Quill and Captain America had been fighting for a long time, so he also heard some of the situation in this universe from the mouth of this evil monster.

"The whole universe is infected, no doubt." Quill shook his head and said, "Like I said before, this is similar to the universe we were in before, except that there are more superheroes here."

"But what puzzles me is that the superheroes here can't die, and they are not afraid of death. When I showed that I wanted to die with Captain America, he was not afraid, but laughed. Fortunately, he was not very smart and was tricked into the trap by me."

"What do you think caused this?"

"I don't know, but Captain America told me that death will die one day, and the universe that can't do this is weak, and he will grant them true immortality."

"Ridiculous." Riley commented.

"There is no shortage of such lunatics in this world." Quill's rich experience allows him to make more comments: "They pursue immortality, and don't even care what immortality is, whether it is themselves, their original souls, or whether they have freedom. They don't care at all."

"Eternal life without power is like a piece of meat on a laboratory table." Riley pursed his lips, almost unable to believe that he could say such a cold metaphor.

He couldn't help but think of Ancient One again, thinking of her powerful self-consistency and compassion, which was more attractive than her immortality, more impressive and awe-inspiring from the heart.

Quill got up from the ground, he stroked the wound on his forehead and said, "I should have come earlier than you, so I hid Jennifer in a place only I knew. I think I should take her back, and I'll go now."

"No, I think you're right to hide her." Riley stopped Quill and said, "Find a hidden place for her, with enough food and water, let her stay alone, and don't make any noise. This is the best way."

"I thought you would sympathize with her."

"But it's really dangerous to take her with you." Riley shook his head and tried to suppress the discomfort in his heart. He really didn't want to sound like a bad guy, but the situation forced him to do so.

"Not only is she in danger, but we are also in danger. If something happens, no one can take care of her, and if she distracts us, we may all die."

Quil hesitated. He wanted to protect Jennifer. In addition to feeling sorry for her, he also hoped that the powerful Supreme Sorcerer could lead them out of the sea of ​​suffering because of the Ancient One's request.

"My Asian friend knows some spells that can cover up her shelter. When we find a way to leave here, we will send her to a safe place." Riley said concisely.

Quil and Rocket Raccoon had to accept this proposal, because they also knew that it was not a wise choice to run around with a little girl in such a dangerous world. It would only bring trouble to both of them.

They packed up their things and prepared to push the door open, but the moment Riley reached out, the spider sense rang wildly, and he instantly rolled back, pulling Quill, and "bang" shot directly shot the door away.

"Get out of the way!" Jessica's voice came.

Quill didn't know what to avoid, and he was pulled by Riley. Just as he staggered to one side, he saw that the wall behind him seemed to be hit by a punch.

"Invisible?!"

"Get out first!" Rocket Raccoon shouted.

Anyone could see that being trapped in this small place was not a good thing. Quill ran wildly and rushed to the first floor of the bar under the cover of Jessica's dense firepower.

The scene outside the door was very bad. A giant with stone skin was destroying wildly. Another figure flying in the air was laughing wildly and spreading flames, and another man like a rubber band was trying to strangle Xu Shangqi with his elastic arm.

Riley yelled, jumped up and kicked the rubber band. Xu Shang shook his head angrily and shouted, "Fantastic Four?!"

"It's the Fantastic Monsters!" Jessica yelled, and with another bang, the bullet flew past the Invisible Woman's hair. She flew into the air and turned back to yell at Riley, "I'm running out of bullets, hurry up!"

Riley lowered his body to stabilize his center of gravity. A hint of hesitation flashed across his face, but he became firm again. Quill didn't know what happened to him, but soon, he saw Riley looking back at him with a look that made him feel cold on his back, and asked: "You said that superheroes in this world will not die, right?"

"Captain America said so."

When Quill's voice fell, Riley had already rushed out at a terrifyingly high speed.

Almost no one has ever seen Spider-Man's full-speed attack, because he knows better than anyone how much damage it may cause.

In fact, Riley has never released all of his power that belongs to Spider-Man, because he is more worried about causing damage than Spider-Man.

Riley's thoughts began to drift between the whistling wind.

Fake? Clone? Well, if this is his fate, he should thank God for sending him to such a universe, where he doesn't have to be a hero anymore. It's not bad to be an evil clone who doesn't care about anything. Anyway, they won't die, so what's wrong with trying his best?

Before Mr. Fantastic Richards could react, a figure hit him with unmatched force. When Riley's chest and arms hit his waist and abdomen with the impact of extremely high speed, he was almost cut in half in an instant.

Reed's body was not flexible enough to cope with the instantaneous strong force. He had no chance to turn into a slingshot. His ribs flew to the side like a broken spring, followed by his kidneys and intestines.

Riley didn't dare to think about what he had hit. He only knew that he was covered in blood when he stopped. Within the few hundred meters he used to unload the impact and brake, the streets were full of Reed Richards.

Riley took a deep breath and stood there in a daze. The feeling brought by violence was not good at all. At least he confirmed one thing, that he was not a replicant with evil nature. The act of trying to kill the other party made him sad and wanted to vomit.

But Mr. Fantastic was not dead. Although he was evenly distributed on the street for hundreds of meters, he was still alive. His only remaining arm was connected to half of his chest, and many tentacles emerged from it trying to reach his head. His relatively intact lower body seemed to want to pinch an upper body out of thin air.

The Invisible Woman let out a terrible scream. She rushed towards Mr. Fantastic, but was stopped by Jessica again.

Xu Shangqi looked at all this in amazement. He took a deep breath and thought, they really can't die.

But despite this, Xu Shangqi didn't want to kill anyone. This idea had never appeared in his mind. He was not a person who could be associated with murder.

Just as this idea passed through his mind, he felt the wind whistling in his ears, and with a "bang", the world was spinning.

Xu Shangqi felt that he flew out, his shoulder was hit by something, and then he fell heavily to the ground. His right arm might be broken, and his ribs might be fractured.

He couldn't help but groan in pain. With his vision blurred, he saw the stone man jumping towards him. His red eyes were full of evil. Obviously, he wanted to use his weight to smash him to death.

Xu Shangqi endured the pain and rolled to the side as much as he could, avoiding the stone man's target point, but was blown away again by the ground shattered by his huge power.

He can't fight! Xu Shangqi gritted his teeth and roared in his heart. This is why he wanted to be a mage. He was just an ordinary engineering student. He didn't even go to the gym. He didn't know how to exert force at all!

In this situation, the stone man would not give him the opportunity to cast a spell. Xu Shangqi tried to breathe hard. A terrible fierceness surged from his heart and instantly occupied his brain.

Qi flowed to Dantian, and then went to the acupoints. The instinct of this well-trained body was stimulated. Xu Shangqi turned over with a clever posture, and flowed a little Qi to his legs. He pinched the magic formula with his hands to shrink the ground into an inch, flashed behind the stone man, and jumped on his back.

Then he used the simplest and crudest way to transport all the remaining Qi to the fist of his dominant hand, until he saw the muscles under his arm swell up continuously, and Xu Shangqi followed his instinct to punch, one punch after another, until he almost completely broke the neck and shoulder of the stone man.

What does it feel like to hit a stone with a fist? It is difficult for Xu Shangqi to describe, but he has to say that it is actually very refreshing, because with the protection of Qi, the reaction force will not hurt him, and the touch of fists on flesh vents the unspeakable resentment that has just risen in him.

Another punch, the stone man groaned in pain, which awakened Xu Shangqi, not because the groan was loud, but because it was too weak, and it might even be the last sound.

Xu Shangqi stood up panting, looking at the stone man who had been smashed deep into the asphalt road with a dazed look. He was completely broken, but not dead yet.

Whose violent factor is this? Xu Shangqi thought, his? Or the original Shangqi's?

When he felt the air flow in his body slowly return to calm, instead of churning up due to emotional excitement and making him vomit blood as before, Xu Shangqi thought, well, it seems that he has to accept his violent side, just like accepting that he is already in this crazy universe.
