Chapter 1413: Return of the Old Days (XII)
Jessica woke up from her trance and felt a chill on her cheek. She reached out and wiped away her tears with her sleeve, trying not to look at the concerned eyes of the other three.
"Damn it, don't look at me like that, as if I were a little girl who was at a loss. You damn men, don't treat me as a weak person, don't try to control me anymore!" Jessica shouted, but soon she covered her face again, spread her fingers, revealed her eyes and said, "Don't mind, I'm not talking about you, but about that damn sadistic purple man."
"It's okay." Riley gently put his arm around her shoulders and said, "You are a victim, it's normal to collapse and cry, we can fully understand, and you don't have to hide it."
Jessica's expression became a little dazed again, as if she remembered something, and Quill asked curiously : "Did you see him?"
"Do you mean the black sun?" Jessica pursed her lips, hesitated and said: "If you mean those illusions like dreams, yes, I saw them."
"What did he say?"
"He didn't say anything, he didn't seem to be able to speak." Jessica shook her head and said confusedly: "But I instinctively felt that he could be trusted, so I told him my story, about..."
Jessica took a deep breath, but still couldn't say this sentence well. This was once the pain buried in the deepest part of her heart.
"About my kidnapping, psychological and physical abuse, and everything about the apocalypse... I talked a lot, as long-winded as a soccer mom praising her children. God, it's a good thing he can't talk, otherwise how could he tolerate my complaints?"
Jessica covered her face and said as if she was blaming herself: "He is a bit like a traditional tree hole. Well, I think so. I hope he doesn't feel offended."
"But I can tell my secrets to a demon god instead of my parents, right? Because my good and bad have nothing to do with a god, he may not listen at all, and he doesn't care, but my father "No, my mother and I can't. If they knew what happened to me, they would be very sad, so I can't tell them."
"Haven't you tried to pray to God before?" Quill asked, "Isn't the principle the same?"
"In fact, I have tried." Jessica swallowed and said, "In the process of controlling me, I occasionally wake up, but I know I can't move, so I said in my heart, God, come and save me."
"But I know God won't come. If he really loves me, he won't let me fall to this point, but I'm actually very easy to deceive. If he lets me see a thing with wings and a halo, "Maybe the black sun is a god using illusions to fool people, but even so, I am willing to do it. After all, people didn't have the patience to fool me for the first ten years of my life." Jessica wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand and said, "Thank you for letting me find a way to talk, although I know it doesn't help the current situation and I may have wasted this opportunity." "No, Jessica." Riley looked into her eyes and said, "If you can give up your negative and self-destructive mentality, then It's the biggest help to us. You don't realize how strong you are. "
Jessica held the gun tightly in her hand, but Riley shook his head and said, "You don't need to use the gun at all. I told you to use your fists."
"You should try it, girl." Quill raised his chin to Jessica and said, "Punch him in the face, or somewhere else, and you will know how capable you are."
Riley stood up, moved his wrists and ankles, and waved at Jessica. Jessica was still reluctant to put down the gun, but in the end she hesitated for a long time, threw the gun aside, and began to move her wrists.
Jessica punched Riley, but not in his face, but in his chest. She didn't use all her strength and didn't fly up, but Riley still flew out directly.
Of course, if Riley fought back, he should be able to make Jessica fly out, but since he wanted to test his strength, he didn't fight back.
Riley patted the dust off his body when he got up from the ground, coughed hard twice and said: "Oh my God, if you had used your fists earlier, you wouldn't have had so many problems. You are much stronger than Kingpin, and you can fly."
Jessica muttered a few words, sat back by the campfire and said: "Maybe you are just too light, you should eat more."
"My muscle and bone density is dozens of times that of ordinary people. You just punched a truck away with a light punch."
"In fact, I knew I had such power a long time ago." Jessica lowered her head and said: "But please believe me, I didn't use it before, not because I didn't want to use it, but the influence of that damn control freak remained in my mind."
"He wanted me to forget my power so that I couldn't resist him, so I couldn't use it before, but now it's much better. People always say that talking can reduce stress, I think so."
"Perhaps, this is also a blessing on another level." Quill got up from the ground, rubbed his painful forehead and said, "He gave us three truths, comforted you, and was even a little understanding, wasn't he?"
"I always feel that we shouldn't tease him like this." Xu Shangqi also stood up, and then half-knelt down to extinguish the campfire, and Riley helped him beside him.
"I don't think he would mind. It's amazing that in many beliefs, the presence of gods is always so strong." Jessica shook her head and expressed her opinion. She continued, "It's as if these gods are eager to occupy an important position in the hearts of believers. They use various means to require believers to be pious."
"They endlessly require believers to regard gods as another superior individual and to weaken their ego as much as possible in order to give everything to him. Those complicated sacrificial rituals and lengthy prayer words are all to destroy individuality and make people tame."
"But I always feel that the black sun wants us to focus on ourselves. He wants us to have faith, but believe in our own faith." Jessica opened her mouth, as if she didn't know how to explain, but she still said with an intuition: "It's not to regard him as another superior object, not to revere him, but to turn him into a part of ourselves, and then believe in a certain characteristic of ourselves."
"Maybe I will choose 'relief'." Jessica stroked her chest and said, "If I believe that I can relieve my emotions, maybe I can be more powerful. I think this is what he wants to see. "But I still don't understand. What are the benefits of him?" Jessica frowned in doubt, saying like he answered himself, "Will he need our power at a certain time? We have no way to understand. They look different from us. Qi put forward his objections. He held his hand into a fist and coughed twice and said, "You didn't feel it. Are he some emotional ups and downs when he tells the story of this universe?" Feed to the Rocket Raccoon. Riley was also at a loss. Xu Shangqi frowned and said, "Am I the only one who feels it? Black Sun doesn't like that damned Vendetta Alliance, but he just despises them at most. He doesn't like Mar-Vell even more. He can feel a slight annoyance from him."
"You mean, he has humanity?" Riley frowned and asked.
Xu Shangqi nodded and said, "Of course, he is not just a question-answering machine and a wishing well. He must have wisdom and emotions, as well as his own likes and dislikes."
"But we didn't feel it. Is this your patent?"
Xu Shangqi curled his lips and said, "Anyway, I resonate with him. I heard that Captain Marvel is a hero before."
Xu Shangqi was referring to the movie "Captain Marvel". He was not impressed by this movie. It might be because he didn't like it when he watched it, but Captain Marvel should indeed be a superhero, not a monster who affects the entire universe to satisfy his desire for destruction.
"Do you think this is a hint from him?" Jessica noticed something more subtle, and she tilted her head slightly and said, "Maybe he doesn't ask for nothing in return?"
"Is this the reward he asked for? We must deal with Ma-Vell. I can only say that if this makes him happy, it will be a win-win situation. I hope he can be happy. Maybe next time I have troubles, I can use him as a tree hole." Riley raised his eyebrows and said.
"So, we are the followers of this ancient? No tentacles, no tumors, and even no powerful power, just like that?" Jessica said.
Several people walked along the sewer to the exit. Riley shook his head and said, "This is the best. Since I worked in the Sanctuary for a while, I have become a complete atheist. You don't know how stupid, annoying, and difficult to communicate with those demons are."
"If there really is such a god pointing fingers at me, I might really not be able to help but punch him. Now it's good."
"Our topic is back to the starting point. Since you don't get powerful power, how are you going to deal with Marvel and the Vendetta Alliance?"
"Knowledge and truth are the most powerful power." Riley said, "From this story, we know several weaknesses of the Vendetta Alliance."
Riley went on to explain: "First, we know that this kind of madness cannot contaminate machines, so Riley can create robots to deal with them; second, there are survivors on Earth, probably a group of robots, we can unite with them to fight against the Vendetta Alliance; third, they are planning to invade other universes, maybe we can find a way to interfere with their decision."
"Don't let them invade other universes?"
"Let them invade the universe we want them to invade."
"But no universe should be..."
Xu Shangqi suddenly stopped, he stared at Riley with wide eyes, Riley spread his hands, smiled and said.
"There must be a universe that welcomes them... The membership gift for this quarter has not been settled yet."
Sorry for being late
