In The DC World With Marvel Chat Group Chapter 1389: The Call of the Stars (15)
"The outbreak of this weird world is probably not a biochemical crisis at all. This kind of attack is aimed at the spirit, and none of us have any way to prevent this kind of spiritual attack. The situation is extremely bad."
In front of the window on the second floor of the bar, Xu Shangqi said while eating the unexpired sealed bread that he found from the storeroom of the bar.
"I don't know what happened to you at all." Jarvis blinked and said, "This kind of mental attack is completely ineffective for me, and I can't imagine what the two of them heard and saw , can make them hurt themselves so desperately."
Jarvis's expression was very helpless. If he had to sum up everything that happened tonight in one sentence, it would probably be "Human beings are so **** interesting", and if he added another sentence, it would be "I don't understand, But I was shocked."
Jarvis knows that although the siblings, Wanda the Scarlet Witch and Pietro the Quicksilver, have been displaced since childhood, they have never suffered any physical pain because of their own powerful abilities. Wanda was pricked by a thorn on a rose. Fingers can call out the soprano tone.
But just last night, she used a rough branch to gouged out her own eyes, and now she still has a happy expression for the rest of her life. What kind of horrible things did she have to see before this happened? Such a big change?
Jarvis had to hold Wanda's hand all the time, because losing her eyesight made her feel very insecure.
More importantly, because she was worried about losing control and hurting her companions, Wanda directly abolished her martial arts, poured all the power of chaos under her control into her eyes, and destroyed them.
And now she can't contact Sithorn at all, and she doesn't dare to mobilize the power of chaos in this universe, so she is almost an ordinary person now.
This is unimaginable for mutants. Their abilities are like their arms. Losing abilities is not as simple as being disabled. It seems that the world has changed.
In the previous hour, Wanda asked Jarvis hundreds of times what was around her. According to Miss Witch, as a magician, when she is capable, she does not need to use her eyes at all. To perceive the world around her, her perspective of perceiving and perceiving the world is completely different from that of human beings.
Laili's situation is slightly better than Wanda's. He just lost his hearing and needs to rely on other people's mouth movements to judge what the other person said. But he has another problem, that is, he dare not speak. I am afraid that I will sing the tune that has been repeated countless times and linger in my mind inadvertently.
He endured so much that he could hardly use his energy to do other things, and so did Wanda.
Therefore, I'm afraid that on the next journey, not only will the two of them no longer be the strongest in the team, but they will become a drag on the contrary.
It is conceivable that no matter whether it is Jarvis or Xu Shangqi, it is impossible for them to abandon their companions. Therefore, although it is dawn, the next journey may be more difficult.
"I take back my previous judgment." Xu Shangqi took the lead and said: "My original plan was to find a closed place to hide, slowly accumulate resources, wait until I can survive, and then find a way to make weapons. Go out and explore, wait until the base is large enough and the technology is sufficiently developed, and then explore the possible event center step by step."
"But now it seems that this method of building high walls and accumulating food is not suitable for this world at all. There are too few monsters that can be seen and defeated, and weapons are useless."
"And I'm afraid there are no large-scale survivors to save us, so there are no conditions for large-scale production, and it is unnecessary. More importantly, every day we wait, the possibility of being eroded by darkness increases. One point bigger."
Xu Shangqi covered his eyes, and said in a painful tone: "Why did I travel to a world where spiritual strength is tested after I hugged Spiderman and Scarlet Witch's thighs!"
Then he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't let me know which little clever ghost did this!"
Jarvis also sighed, he shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, most of the machines in this city have been damaged, my hacking ability can't be of much use, at most it can be repaired." Car repair or something."
"I can't feel the mental attack on you at all, and I can't help you, so I'm afraid I'll have to rely on you."
"I'm just an ordinary person." Xu Shangqi emphasized: "If you think it's because of my strong willpower that I persisted until now, then you may be disappointed. I rely on a treasure."
Xu Shangqi took out the jade pendant around his neck. He believed in the characters of the people present. More importantly, the energy on the jade pendant was already very meager. The high walls are crumbling.
The scanning device in Jarvis's eyes scanned the jade pendant on Xu Shangqi's neck, and he said, "There is a strange energy on it, but I don't know what it is. Do you have a way to copy this energy?"
"Unfortunately, I didn't. I said that I just cramped my feet to learn the mental method temporarily... Okay, let's not worry about this for now. We have to do something during the day. We can't wait here any longer. Otherwise, we will still be helpless when night falls.”
"I think the way to crack your weird state is to find out the truth." Jarvis analyzed rationally: "Those strange things attack your spirit, so there is always a way to resist this Attack."
"I searched the database, including Professor X, for all the mutants and superpowers with mental abilities, but I didn't find any way to establish a mental barrier."
"This is not an attack." The Scarlet Witch, who covered her empty eyes with a cloth, squeezed Jarvis's hand and said, "It's hard for me to describe it to you, but I was not attacked."
"On the contrary." Lai Li's somewhat hoarse voice said, "It is facing the truth that made us what we are now."

Xu Shangqi still did not forget his central theme. He said: "It's useless to sit here and discuss the route. No matter what, it will still be dark. I saw some strange slime on the first floor of the bar during the day yesterday. Traces, I think we can investigate and see what happened here..."
After finishing speaking, he ignored the few people sitting in front of the window, but turned around and walked down. Jarvis looked at Laili and Wanda who had lost some mobility, and they came to the first floor of the bar together .
The first floor of the bar is filled with stench. The complex body structure of human beings makes the smell more complicated and difficult to ignore when they rot. Mark of.
Many people think that fear is a constant emotion, thrown into a frightening situation, people must continue to feel terrified and unable to do anything.
But in fact, the human brain has a protective mechanism. After experiencing intense emotions, there will be an extreme sense of fatigue. Shut down, and then let the instinct take over the body to continue to maintain mobility, thereby improving the chances of survival.
And after experiencing multiple frights, this period of fatigue will become longer and longer. At this time, human beings will usually fall into a state of numbness, no matter what terrible things they see or what they cannot accept The scene, the reaction will be very small.
It’s not that Xu Shangqi is not afraid of corpses. After all, it’s the first time he has come into contact with so many corpses, and it’s not that he can bear the stench. .
Fortunately, the numb state allowed him to overcome most of the physical discomfort, and he could barely calm down and act rationally.
"These monsters crawled out of the human body." Xu Shangqi looked at the marks on the wall and said, "They crawled out from various parts of the human body, devoured part of the human body, and left in a hurry."
Jarvis also looked around, his scanning function told him that Xu Shangqi was right, there were too many traces of slime crawling outward.
Holding back his fear, Xu Shangqi tried his best to recall the situation when he faced the monster before. The monster holding the lower body of the woman did not seem to regard the human body as a part of himself.
Any creature has the instinct to get rid of encumbrances. The human body is completely useless to the monster's actions. If it doesn't get rid of it, it means that it doesn't want to get rid of it, but it may not be able to get rid of it.
"Hatching failed." Xu Shangqi spit out a few words, he frowned and thought for a while, and then said: "If monsters are hatched from human bodies, then the eggshells will not only provide the necessary nutrients at the beginning Besides, it should not stay on their bodies."
"The two monsters we saw may have been hatched and failed to get rid of the eggshells halfway, and these corpses are the eggshells left by those who succeeded."
Xu Shangqi had to hold back his nausea, and used a more objective, even indifferent, ruthless third-party perspective to describe this matter, describing his own kind as an inorganic substance.
But his rationality was telling him that they were all living people, they might have been celebrating on the dance floor of a bar one second, and the next second they were broken out by monsters, and then devoured mercilessly.
The scene forced him to maintain reason, but morality made him feel sad. Xu Shangqi took a deep breath, and silently recited the Qingxin formula several times in his heart. When he read it for the last time, he couldn't even recite it silently. Instead, he read it aloud, as if the sound could give him a sense of security.
A few other people couldn't understand Chinese and thought Xu Shangqi was praying. After calming down for a while, Xu Shangqi said: "If the monsters that haven't fully hatched stay on the street, then the ones that hatched successfully will go to the street again." Where is it? I think this may be the key to the problem."
"We can no longer sit here and wait for the darkness to fall. Regardless of whether there is truth ahead, we have to keep going. Let's go."
Xu Shangqi turned and walked out the door, and the other three followed behind him. Xu Shangqi did not have strong detection capabilities, but fortunately, there were many traces of slime on the street, and the monsters rarely gave them enough food. survey space.
A few people walked towards the end of the street while chasing the traces. Although it is a good thing to have clues, it is time-consuming to stop and check the direction of the traces from time to time to make sure that they are not going astray. After walking a few kilometers, the sky darkened.
"Let's find a place to rest." Xu Shang let out a breath, the existence of qi made his body not tired, but his spirit was exhausted to the extreme.
It's definitely not a good job to observe those mucus carefully, until the end. Xu Shangqi even felt that the mucus had crawled up his body, making him feel sticky all over, and mixed with the corpses and stench on the street, Xu Shangqi's desire to vomit became stronger and stronger.
Xu Shangqi caressed his chest, and kept using his hands to smooth the air. He always felt that something was about to come up. He thought that his stomach problem was still not healed, and he felt a little nauseous, so he kept swallowing saliva.
The few people found some weapons during their journey, but most of them were cold weapons, because the guns they could find were basically out of bullets.
Laili, who is relatively strong, took a fire axe, Jarvis, who had an automatic aiming program, took a harpoon gun, and Xu Shangqi took a fruit knife from the store which he used most easily .
Finally, they decided to rest in a relatively clean private house. The owner here seemed to have gone out early. The house had not been ravaged by monsters, and the beds and daily necessities were all complete. It was a good place for a temporary rest.
But they didn't plan to sleep in separate rooms, but planned to sleep together in the living room. Xu Shangqi threw his body on the soft sofa and sighed after a long absence.
But the more sleepy he is, the more he can't fall asleep, he can always hear his heartbeat, "Bang bang, bang bang, bang bang..."
Xu Shangqi became more and more irritable the more he listened, he had to sit up from the sofa, tried to take a few deep breaths, and started to practice the exercises again.
During the investigation during the day today, in order to deal with those disgusting scenes, he had already recited the Qingxin Jue countless times, and when he recited it, it seemed smooth and fluent.
But the moment he opened his mouth to finish the first sentence, Wanda, who was sitting on the opposite sofa and had just removed the cloth strips from her eyes, suddenly raised her head.
The eyes with only two black holes looked directly at Xu Shangqi, and Xu Shangqi also looked at her, Wanda said in a daze:
"What you read is different from the daytime..."
Xu Shangqi was stunned.
"I..." As soon as Xu Shangqi uttered a syllable, he froze there, and then showed an expression of extreme horror.
Because he discovered that he was not speaking Chinese, or even any language he knew.
At this moment, Lai Li who was sitting on the side sofa suddenly looked back at Xu Shangqi, and Xu Shangqi also looked at him.
Sadness suddenly appeared in Lai Li's eyes. He looked at Xu Shangqi with tears in his eyes and said:
"I heard you just now."
The muscles on Xu Shangqi's face began to tremble, and then the trembling spread to the whole body, and the desire to vomit became stronger and stronger.
But when his throat tightened and a sour feeling spread up his esophagus, what he spit out was not food, but a series of languages that he had never mastered.
The moment the terrifying raving appeared in the room, Laili covered his ears in pain, fell to the ground, and let out an astonishing scream. The Scarlet Witch also began to breathe continuously, like Something strangled her neck.
Xu Shangqi desperately covered his mouth, but his stomach seemed to be grasped by a big hand, and he kept squeezing out that kind of strange language that contained lakes, and Xu Shangqi let his head down in despair. He knocked on the coffee table, but the pain didn't wake him up at all.
Among the tears, Xu Shangqi saw the last golden brilliance of the setting sun fade between the gaps in the curtains, and the night fell.
Wanda and Laili's screams echoed continuously in the room, and their painful faces fell into Xu Shangqi's eyes.
That used to be his favorite character, he has been surrounded by them on the movie screen countless times and his mood was ups and downs~IndoMTL.com~ moved to tears.
Thanos didn't make Spider-Man so painful.
The moment this thought appeared in Xu Shangqi's mind, an indescribable boundless anger burned through his soul.
The string in Xu Shangqi's mind broke completely, he trembled and threw himself on the sofa, and touched the fruit knife he had put in the gap before.
Under the terrified eyes, there is a trembling open mouth, and the sharp blade reflects the desperate eyes.
In an instant, blood spattered, and the nerve reflex caused by the severe pain caused the severed tongue to twitch slightly after it fell to the ground, like a fish thrown onto the shore.
In the silence where the whispers disappeared, Xu Shangqi, whose mouth was full of blood, felt such a strong smell of blood lingering between his mouth and nose for the first time.
Then he discovered that he didn't hate the smell of blood that much, and even after losing his sense of taste, he could still taste a little sweetness from it.
Xu Shang lied weakly on the coffee table, but tried his best to raise his head, swallowing the blood that should have been vomited out, and the tears that followed his sight no longer flowed, allowing him to see through the blood. Through the gap in the curtains, the stars in the night sky can be seen clearly.
Where he was panting, Xu Shangqi discovered that what was sweet was not the blood, but the taste of victory.
In the same dark room, the trembling tip of the quill pen wrote this sentence on the black notebook——
"If I write about the end of the day, I can't just write about the end of the day. I have to write about the stupid people who survived by mistake, the smart people who made all the mistakes, the good people who are driven crazy, and the bad people who are selfless. .
If you want to write a hymn of courage composed of great heroes, you should also write about ordinary people who are as humble as dust, desperate to shed blood, but willing to do so. "
