Chapter 1374 The Call of the Stars (VII)

The team exploring the building was led by Riley and ended by Scarlet Witch Wanda. The two strongest people in the team went one after the other to ensure the safety of the team. The team circled the building and finally found a hole leading to the underground on the side close to the cliff.

"It looks like a hole formed by the loose ground when the spire fell. We can't be sure if there is a door inside. I want to throw a lighting stick in, but I'm not sure if it will cause some chain reactions."

Star Lord Quill squatted down and looked into the hole, but there was only darkness inside, so he wanted to find some lighting methods.

Jarvis walked forward, he gently touched his brow bone, and a stream 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 side of the hole, looked at Star-Lord and said, "You are right, there is indeed a hole underneath, but there is no way to tell if there is a door inside. We'd better light it up and take a look."

"Let me do it." Scarlet Witch stepped forward and habitually wanted to use magic to illuminate. She stretched out her hand and the red energy condensed into a light spot.

Star-Lord curiously poked his head over, stood up and walked a few steps, came to Scarlet Witch and asked: Are you a Protoss?"

Apparently, most of the races that he had seen in the universe that could use magic energy were Protoss. Wanda shook her head and said, "No, I'm a mutant."

As she spoke, the light in her hand became brighter and brighter. Just when Wanda wanted to send the magic-lit light spot to the cave, the light spot went out with a "puff".

"What's wrong?" Jarvis looked at her with some concern and asked.

Wanda frowned and didn't speak, but tried to condense magic energy again, but this time the light spot was not lit. Wanda sighed and said, "I don't know, but I always feel that I can't concentrate. "

"Is there something wrong with Sithoun, the source of chaos magic?" Jarvis asked again.

Wanda shook her head and said, "No, my connection with Sithoun is very stable, and even without him, I can call on the power of chaos to cast magic, but I feel a little confused... I should have listened carefully during the meditation class at Xavier Academy."

Wanda's face was not very good. She frowned slightly and her mouth corners turned down. It seemed that the witch felt a little frustrated because she failed at the critical moment.

Jarvis quickly patted her on the shoulder and said, "It doesn't matter. We can use flares. Mr. Quill, my terrain scan information just now tells me that there is nothing underneath. You can safely throw the lighting tools down. "

Quiel nodded and said nothing. He took out a small square device from his toolkit. Judging from the materials and manufacturing process, it should be from the Kree Empire or its subordinate civilization.

Quiel threw the small cube, which was less than the size of a palm, into the cave. With a "swish", the cave was illuminated by blue light. It was a large hole, and in the narrow space of stone and soil on the opposite side, a warm light appeared.

"That might be a window of this building. What is that? Is it a piece of glass? It looks like the window has been broken. I think we can go in from there." Jarvis' tone has always been calm, which gave everyone a great sense of security.

No one blamed Wanda for her poor 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 such a feeling. I am obviously not hurt, and there is no danger nearby, but it is buzzing in my heart. "

"The airflow in my body has always been a little turbulent. "Xu Shang turned his hands over angrily, as if he didn't know how to describe his feelings in English. He reached out and touched his eyes and said, "I can't even run a complete cycle of the mental method I learned in the S.H.I.E., it's always intermittent, but nothing is blocking my power, I just can't concentrate."

His eyes looked left and right for a while, and he seemed a little upset. Riley rubbed his arms, and there were goose bumps on them.

And Spider-Man's way to overcome his panic is to get himself moving. He immediately stood up, jumped on the spot, and then said, "Okay, I'll go down first. I have spider sense, and if there is any danger, I can also dodge in advance. "

"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 alarm 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 into the cave without landing and came directly to the place where the warm light appeared.

"It's so cold down here." Scarlet Witch shivered and said, "I feel it's at least minus 20 degrees. Without the magic shield, we may not be able to move forward."

After landing on the ground, Riley first glanced at the glass fragments on the ground, and then took two steps towards the place where the light spread. Then he found that it was a broken window as Jarvis had guessed.

But the light coming out of the window did not come from lights or candlelight, but a ball of bright 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 is, 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 just trying to scare yourself, ordinary agents from S.H.I.E.L.D. 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 cooperated with the Qingxin Jue that Xu Shangqi had learned before, he could help calm his mind and run his skills better.

Xu Shangqi began to recite the contents of Qingxin Jue silently in his heart, and then transferred 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 Star-Lord Quill's face.

Xu Shangqi breathed a sigh of relief. He still remembered those funny jokes in the 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 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, 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 Qi is transferred to the legs, walking will be easier. After all, I am relatively I’m lazy, I’m used to taking the cable car even when climbing.”

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 actually 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 shiver, and looked around, feeling that there were some rustling sounds in the darkness. He stretched out his hand again to hold 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, he said, "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 won't please the girl. You should say, 'I think so, but I don't know her. What do you think?"

"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 again, grabbed Wanda's cloak and jumped onto her shoulders. He covered his mouth with one hand and whispered to Wanda: "I bet, This is not the first time that he is so confused, otherwise he would not be 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 asked, resting his elbow on Riley's head. Riley shrugged and said, "It's been a long time, and it may be longer next time."

"Ben Riley!" Wanda raised her voice and shouted dissatisfiedly.

I have to admit that the raccoon's crazy behavior seems a bit too noisy, but the behavior of a furry little animal jumping up and down and making jokes can be regarded as diluting the depressing atmosphere in the dark environment.

But the side effect is that after Rocket also calmed down, the darkness and silence merged into one, becoming more unbearable.

In the dark space, even the heartbeat became clearer, and after hearing the companion's somewhat rapid heartbeat, it became more difficult for everyone to ignore the panic in their hearts.

The short distance from the cave entrance to the window became particularly long. The unspeakable fear suppressed in the heart seemed to be condensed from liquid into solid fuel, and it was unknown when it would explode violently.

"When we stood in front of the window, staring at the distant light in the depths of darkness, silence was like a silent wave, letting layer after layer of fear wash away the high walls in everyone's heart.

Each of us understood where this hesitation that came at the same time came from. The only thing that could overcome human yearning for light was the fear of darkness, or perhaps not darkness, but the unknown.

I could clearly hear their heartbeats getting faster and faster, and their breathing getting more and more rapid.

Perhaps it was the instinct of a certain part of the beast in the human body that taught us how to fight out of primitiveness and wilderness. When fear wanted to break into and tame our bodies, the accelerated beating of the heart and the accelerated flow of blood would make us get rid of depression, and the physiological reaction would make us excited, to rise up and resist, and struggle for survival.

Curiosity, peeping, fear, struggle.

At this moment, I understood how we, the weak creatures, were swallowed up by the vortex of the ocean like dregs and fell into the dark hole of endless despair."
