The team exploring the building was headed by Riley and ended by Scarlet Witch Wanda. The two strongest people in the team worked one after another to ensure the safety of the team. The team circled the building and finally reached the cliff near the cliff.
A hole was found on that side leading to the ground.
"It looks like a hole formed by breaking open the loose ground when the steeple fell. We can't be sure if there is a door inside. I want to throw a lighting rod inside, but I'm not sure whether it will cause some chain reaction."
Star-Lord Quill knelt down and looked into the hole, but there was only darkness inside, so he wanted to find some means of lighting.
Jarvis stepped forward and gently touched the top of his brow. A flash of light flashed in his brown-red pupils. The terrain scanning device was turned on, and the terrain status was presented in his eyes as a blue grid.
He also walked to the hollow, looked at Star-Lord and said, "You are right, there is indeed a hole at the bottom, but there is no way to tell whether there is a door inside. We'd better light it up and take a look."
"I'll do it." Scarlet Witch stepped forward, habitually wanting to use magic to illuminate. She stretched out her hand, and the red energy condensed into light spots.
Star-Lord poked his head over curiously, stood up, walked a few steps, came to Scarlet Witch, and asked: Are you a god?"
Obviously, most of the races he has seen in the universe that can use magical energy are gods. Wanda shook her head and said: "No, I am a mutant."
As she spoke, the light spot in her hand became brighter and brighter. Just when Wanda wanted to send the magic-lit light spot into the cave, the light spot went out with a "pop".
"What's wrong?" Jarvis looked at her with concern and asked.
Wanda frowned and said nothing, but tried to condense the magic energy again, but this time the light spot was not lit up. Wanda sighed and said: "I don't know, but I always feel that I can't concentrate."
.”
"Is there something wrong with Sithorne, the source of chaos magic?" Jarvis asked again.
Wanda shook her head and said: "No, my connection with Sithorn is very stable, and even without going through him, I can still call upon the power of chaos to cast magic, but I feel that my thinking is a bit chaotic... Meditation at Xavier Academy
I should listen carefully during class."
Wanda's face was not very good. She frowned slightly and turned the corners of her mouth downwards. It seemed that the chain had slipped at a critical moment, which made Miss Witch feel a little frustrated.
Jarvis hurriedly patted her shoulder and said: "It doesn't matter, we can use flares. Mr. Quayle, my terrain scan information just now told me that there is nothing underneath, you can safely throw down the lighting tools.
"
Quill nodded without saying anything. He took out a small square device from his tool bag. Judging from the material and production process, it should have come from the Kree Empire or its subordinate civilization.
Quill threw this small square, less than the size of a palm, along the entrance of the cave. With a "swish" sound, the cave was illuminated by blue light. It was a large hollow, and on the opposite side, there were stones and soil.
In the narrow space, a warm light appeared.
"That might be a window of this building. What is that? A shard of glass? It looks like the window has been broken. I think we can go in from there." Jarvis's tone was always calm, which gave everyone a great surprise.
sense of security.
No one criticized Wanda for her abnormal performance, because everyone except Jarvis felt a little uncomfortable. Riley exhaled and said: "My spider sense has been ringing, but it is very weak. I have never experienced anything like this before."
This feeling, even though I was clearly not harmed and there was no danger nearby, it just kept buzzing in my heart."
"The airflow in my body has always been a little disordered." Xu Shangqi turned his hands, as if he didn't know how to describe his feelings in English. He reached out and touched his eyes and said: "The heart I learned in the Divine Spear Bureau
The method can't even run for a complete week, it's always intermittent, but there's nothing blocking my power, I just can't concentrate."
His eyes looked left and right for a while, looking a little upset. Riley rubbed his arms, and there were goose bumps on them.
The way Spider-Man overcomes his panic is to make himself move. He immediately stood up, jumped on the spot, and then said: "Okay, I'll go down first. I have a spider sense. If there is danger, I can also move in advance."
Get out of the way."
"I'll go down with you." Wanda followed Riley and said, "I can use magic to let the two of us land quietly so as not to disturb anything. I'm sure there is something inside."
Riley didn't hesitate too much and nodded. Wanda stretched out her hands, and the red light enveloped the two of them. They flew in along the hole, without landing all the way, and came directly to the place where the warm light appeared.
"It's so cold down here." Scarlet Witch shivered and said, "I feel like it's at least 20 degrees below zero. Without magic shield, we might not be able to move even an inch."
After landing on the ground, Riley first glanced at the glass fragments on the ground, then took two steps towards the place where the light spread, and then discovered that just as Jarvis had guessed, it was a broken window.
But the light coming out of the window does not come from lamps or candles, but from a glimmering light in the darkness far away.
Riley swallowed unconsciously. He instinctively felt that going deep inside was not a good idea. At this moment, Xu Shangqi shouted from behind: "How is it? Can we go down?!"
"Okay! There's no danger here!" Riley shouted back, but quickly added in a low voice: "But it won't be so if you go forward."
Wanda suddenly became a little irritable, she said: "Whatever it has, let's rush in, what can it do to us? Can't my magic still be able to deal with a few monsters?"
After saying that, she pulled Riley back, and then used magic to pick up the other people. She completely ignored the previous formation and took the lead. As she walked towards the window, she said: "Don't
You're scaring yourself by making excuses. Ordinary agents from SHIELD can handle it, can't we? Let's go."
Several others followed Wanda's footsteps, but Xu Shangqi looked around. He always felt that there were many pairs of eyes hidden in the dark environment of the cave. He took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and pinched the eyes hanging around his neck.
Jade pendant.
It was given to him by director Zheng Xian after he left S.H.I.E.L.D. Zheng Xian said that as long as he cooperates with the Qingxin Jue that Xu Shangqi learned before, it can help calm the mind and operate the technique better.
Xu Shangqi began to recite the contents of Qingxin Jue silently in his heart, and then moved his energy to his eyes, improving his vision in the dark and calming his mind. Those eyes that seemed to be everywhere gradually disappeared, and the cave returned to its original appearance.
face.
Xu Shangqi breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly someone patted him. Xu Shangqi was so frightened that he almost jumped up from the ground. When he turned around, he saw the face of Star-Lord Quill.
Xu Shangqi breathed a sigh of relief. He still remembered those funny jokes in Guardians of the Galaxy, but before, he had an upset stomach and couldn't bother to say hello to Star-Lord. Now he feels better, so he smiled and said:
"Hello, your name is Peter Quill, right?"
Quill nodded and said, "There are not many Asians in SHIELD. You should be pretty good, right?"
"I'm just an apprentice." Xu Shangqi shook his head and said, "Riley said he wanted to do tasks to earn points, so I came with him. I don't have any skills. Even the exercises were just improvised."
"Boy, don't be so modest, haven't you noticed that your steps are much lighter than others?" Rocket Raccoon jumped along Quill's arm and onto Xu Shangqi's shoulder, waving his paw at him.
Xu Shangqi tilted his head and looked at the raccoon on his shoulder. He felt it was funny, so he stretched out his hand to touch his head, but he took his hand back as if he thought of something again.
He remembered that Rocket Raccoon in Guardians of the Galaxy had a very bad temper and didn't like others treating him as a small animal. Moreover, he was an intelligent creature. It was a bit rude to touch other people's heads without their permission.
So, Xu Shangqi just scratched his head and showed an embarrassed smile and said: "This is the footwork taught to me by the teacher from the Divine Spear Bureau. As long as the energy is transferred to the legs, walking will be easier. After all, I am relatively
I’m so lazy that I’m used to taking the cable car even when climbing mountains.”
Unexpectedly, the raccoon actually stretched out its paw and touched Xu Shangqi's head, and then said: "He seems to be a very polite silly boy. I will treat you to dinner when I get back."
After saying that, Rocket Raccoon jumped back onto Quill's hiking bag. When Quill passed him and walked forward, Xu Shangqi touched his stomach and frowned.
He felt that maybe he really ate too much at noon. When he heard the word "eat", he started to feel a little nauseous again. Maybe it was because he was a little far away from the Scarlet Witch and he felt that it was getting colder and colder here.
Xu Shangqi couldn't help but shuddered, looked around, and felt some rustling sounds in the darkness. He stretched out his hand again to pinch the jade pendant, and sighed in his heart that he should have watched less horror movies when he was in college.
.
When Quill led Rocket Raccoon to the middle of the team, Rocket Raccoon jumped on Jarvis again, but the moment Rocket Raccoon's paw touched Jarvis's shoulder, he paused, and then shrugged pretending to be unintentional.
Shrugging and saying: "Man, is that red-haired girl in front of you your girlfriend?"
"We haven't officially confirmed our relationship yet." Jarvis replied sternly, but Rocket Raccoon immediately waved his paw and said: "Hey! This will not please the girl. You should say, 'I think so, but I don't know her.
how about'."
"A funny and polite answer," Jarvis commented, but he quickly added: "But I prefer to state the facts."
"You, a raccoon, actually taught humans how to pick up girls? Come back quickly and stop jumping up and down." Quill reached out and patted Jarvis on the shoulder, showing an apologetic smile.
But who knows, Rocket Raccoon used Quill's shoulder as a jumping platform, grabbed Wanda's cloak and jumped onto her shoulder. He covered his mouth with one hand and whispered to Wanda: "I bet,
This is not the first time that he has been so confused, otherwise he would not have been able to state such a fact, but your action of raising your ears is a bit too obvious, which is not very reserved, miss."
The next second, Rocket Raccoon quickly dodged Wanda's grasping hand. Wanda looked back with some embarrassment and glared at the raccoon that jumped on Riley's shoulder, but after feeling Jarvis's gaze,
He pursed his lips again, rolled his eyes slightly, and turned his head back.
"How long have they been like this?" Rocket Raccoon asked, putting his elbow on Riley's head. Riley shrugged and said, "It's been a long time, and it may be even longer."
"Ben Riley!" Wanda raised her voice and shouted dissatisfied.
I have to admit that the crazy behavior of this raccoon seems a bit too noisy, but the behavior of a small furry animal jumping up and down and making jokes can be regarded as diluting the depressing atmosphere in the dark environment.
But the side effect was that after Rocket Raccoon also calmed down, the darkness and silence merged into one, making it even more unbearable.
In the dark space, even the heartbeat became clearer, and after hearing the rapid heartbeat of their companions, it became more difficult for everyone to ignore the panic in their hearts.
The short walk from the cave entrance to the window became extremely long, and the unspeakable fear that was suppressed in my heart seemed to be condensed from liquid into solid fuel, and a violent explosion would occur at some point.
"When we stand in front of the window, staring at the distant light spots in the dark depths, silence is like a silent wave, letting one layer of fear wash away the high wall in everyone's heart.
Every one of us understands what the hesitation that comes at the same time comes from. The only thing that can defeat human beings' yearning for light is the fear of darkness. Perhaps it is not darkness, but the unknown.
I could clearly hear their heartbeats getting faster and faster, and their breathing getting faster and faster.
Perhaps it is the instinct of some beasts in the human body that teaches us how to fight our way out of the primitive and savage world. When fear wants to break into and tame our bodies, the accelerated beating heart and accelerated flowing blood will make us
To get rid of depression, physiological reactions prompt us to become excited, to resist, and to struggle for survival.
Curiosity, prying, fear, struggle.
At this moment, I understood how we, weak creatures, were like scum, swallowed up by the eddies of the ocean and fell into the dark holes of boundless despair."
