Chapter 1391: The Return of the Old Days (Part 7)

In Kingpin's palace, Jessica watched with her own eyes as Riley swung his fist full of anger, hammering Daredevil Ma Te, who had turned into a monster, into the floor.

Ma Te was completely embedded in the ground. The expensive and hard floor materials Kingpin used when building this palace couldn't stop Riley's anger at all. If Xu Shangqi hadn't pulled him away, Jessica really doubted Riley would have hammered Ma Te into a lump of meat paste.

Riley stood up from the ground, panting. He touched the corner of his mouth with his hand and said in a tone that could be called rude for him: "Damn it! There must be something controlling him. I'll make them pay the price. I will!"

Xu Shangqi patted Riley on the back and then smoothed his breath from top to bottom. He knew how much influence Ma Te had on Spider-Men in the universe he was in. Spider-Man rarely accepted someone's care for a long time. Those who once accompanied him either left or died.

This would make them quite guilty, as if they were a jinx. But in that universe, once they thought that even if they accepted Ma Te's care, it was impossible for anyone to hurt him, they felt full of security. This could be said to be another kind of fledgling complex.

And the reason for Riley's extreme anger was that the image of Ma Te being hurt stimulated him, making him associate it with many bad things in Spider-Man's life. Those people eventually left, left forever.

After a long while, Riley finally calmed down a bit. He gasped, looked at Ma Te who had passed out, and said: "Don't let me know who did this. I'll make them look good!"

"We're going to find out about this right now," Xu Shangqi pushed Riley a bit further away, gave Jessica a wink, and Jessica stepped forward and said: "An explosion happened two streets away. It could be a car, or it could be someone fighting. We have to go see."

Riley turned his head to look at Ma Te who was unconscious on the ground, hesitated for a moment, and said: "We have to find a way to settle him down, even if we lock him up. There are cages in the basement here. Follow me."

After speaking, Riley and Xu Shangqi lifted Ma Te together, came to Kingpin's basement, and threw him into a cage commonly used for hunting dogs. Xu Shangqi locked the cage and said: "I thought you wouldn't be willing to do this. After all, even if he turned into a monster, Ma Te was once a hero."

"I can't care about this now!" Riley frowned and said: "Now none of us can be sure whether that terrifying attack will come again when night falls, so we have to finish these things as soon as possible, using whatever means."

Xu Shangqi also fell silent. He could understand Riley. A sense of urgency kept spreading in his heart. Just as Riley said, no one knew whether that terrifying mental attack would come on some night. Even if it didn't come tonight, perhaps it would come tomorrow night.

When disaster was about to happen at night, the time during the day became particularly precious. The experience of that terrifying world washed away all the laziness and leisure on them, and even overcorrected them to have a tendency toward anxiety disorder.

They couldn't drag it out anymore, for anything. Because not actively looking for a solution and putting it into practice might mean death, or something more terrifying than death. The instinct for survival forced them to act quickly, without any hesitation.

After locking the cage, Riley almost dragged Jessica forward. The three rushed to the place where Jessica heard the noise at the fastest speed. There was an exploded truck, its charred wreckage scattered on the road like a flower that had just bloomed.

"There's someone there." Xu Shangqi moved Qi to his eyes so that his vision would be better. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the bottom of the truck. Jessica stopped the two, raised her gun, arched her body, and slowly approached.

"Captain America! It's Captain America! Back off!" Jessica shouted: "He's a monster now, and he's not dead!"

Riley and Xu Shangqi were immediately alert. They could clearly see the black shadow under the charred chassis of the truck move slightly. Xu Shangqi decisively shouted at Jessica: "Rush up and knock him out, before he fully reacts!"

Jessica gritted her teeth, stomped her feet, kicked away the remaining wreckage of the truck, rushed up, grabbed the gun barrel in her hand, and gave Captain America's head a hard hit with the butt of the gun, watching him twitch and lie on the ground motionless.

Jessica let out a long breath. Riley and Xu Shangqi rushed up. Seeing Captain America also mutated with fangs and an incomparably evil face, Riley didn't even have the strength to curse. He just stared at those tentacles with slightly cold eyes.

"Should we try to cut them off with a knife?" Jessica asked with some uncertainty.

But Riley and Xu Shangqi both shook their heads. Riley said: "The problem doesn't lie here at all. They should also have been infected by the heart. They didn't complete evolution, but were alienated into monsters. It's just that their bodies were already powerful, so the monsters were powerful."

"There's a wound on his chest." Xu Shangqi walked to Captain America's side, grabbed the uniform on his chest and pulled hard. Riley saw that Captain America's uniform was torn open, and there was a very deep wound on the skin below.

"Someone took his heart, but he's still alive," Riley, who was proficient in anatomy, had to say while enduring nausea. He checked Captain America's physical condition and said: "First it was a hit, penetration, then explosion, impact, and heart dissection, but none of this could kill him."

Xu Shangqi felt his throat tighten. He tried hard not to imagine the injury process Riley described, but still felt a bit dizzy. If it were in the past, he would have definitely vomited by now.

But now he didn't even have time to feel nauseous. He tried hard to swallow the nausea that was about to surge up his throat, stared at Riley with burning eyes and asked: "What do you think is going on?"

"Someone discovered the anomaly, tried to kill him, but failed, and I'm very sure the other party was also injured and didn't run far. We have to find him."

Xu Shangqi stood up and asked: "You guessed who it was, right?"

"It should be Quill and Rocket Raccoon," Riley also stood up. He didn't even look at Captain America lying on the ground, but beckoned to Jessica, and while walking to the edge of the street, said: "The claw marks that dissected Captain America's chest came from animals, and the ones that took the heart were human hands. Besides the two of them, I can't think of any other combination."

So, Xu Shangqi followed Riley forward. Jessica chased after them, holding her gun and saying: "Can't you slow down? Explain what's going on with that corpse? Explain what you're going to do now?"

"No time," Riley paused slightly, waiting for Jessica to catch up to his side, then resumed his speed, looked at Jessica and said: "It's very obvious that some disaster is happening, and the situation is much worse than we imagined. We have to find a way to break the situation as soon as possible."

"You look experienced, a bit too experienced," Jessica complained: "Not everyone can accept in two seconds that the national idol Captain America was dissected to death. Besides, aren't Spider-Man and Captain America good friends? The newspapers say so."

"I have to convince myself that the guy lying on the ground is a monster," Riley took a deep breath, his tone trembling, obviously his mental state wasn't as stable as he appeared.

"Even if I know he was once a hero, saved many people, and was good friends with the Spider-Man of this world, I have to block this out and make myself ruthless, otherwise the Captain America of our world might suffer the same disaster."

"Fine, you are the kind of calm teammates I want most," Jessica had to speed up her pace to keep up with the two of them. In the end, she flew directly, floating in mid-air, and said to them: "I'm really afraid of you guys crying and mourning. Two hours before you found me, I just burned my parents' corpses."

"That's why your hands couldn't hold the gun at that time, right?" Xu Shangqi tried hard to search for comforting words in his stomach, but couldn't say anything in the face of the current situation.

Jessica shook her head and said: "No, that was just me being exhausted from fighting the monsters. But what I didn't expect was that you clearly came from a more stable universe, but adapted to the situation here faster than anyone else."

"Because we've experienced worse."

About two minutes later, Riley actively used his spider-sense to find Quill and Rocket Raccoon. They were staying in the basement of a bar not far from this street. Quill's head was bleeding. After Riley gave him a preliminary check, he found it should be a concussion.

Rocket Raccoon complained on the side: "I said it early on, using yourself as bait to ignite the truck isn't a good idea. When the shield held by that monster was blown away, it just happened to hit his head. You know how hard that thing is! You should really be glad it didn't crack your skull open!"

"Don't say that, Rocket," Quill tilted his head to the side, letting Riley bandage him, and revealed a silly smile: "I'm a space pirate by origin, I know best how to set traps. We succeeded, didn't we?"

"Besides, if we didn't use this method, how long would it take for us to defeat him? His shield was accurate to the point of being evil when defending and attacking. Didn't you try it too?"

"Oh, hey, buddy!" Quill gasped. Riley apologized for his slightly rough movements, but then began to treat the wounds on Quill's arm with more skillful techniques.

"Something did happen here," Quill took the initiative to open the conversation: "It's similar to the world we experienced before, but different. You see that there are superheroes in this world, and they have also been turned into monsters. I suspect it might be the work of a group of people."

"What's worse," Quill cast his gaze toward the corner of the room, where there was a mass of red unknown substance, and before he opened his mouth, everyone deliberately ignored that thing.

Quill grinned, revealing a smile that could be called cruel. Sharp luster slid across the surface of his teeth, and he said in a cynical tone: "I'm afraid they aren't dead."

"I let Rocket cut open his chest, and I tore his heart out with my own hands, just like Yondu did to his prisoners many times. But he didn't die. I watched with my own eyes as a group of tentacles grew out of his body and replaced his heart. He will become even crazier."

Seeing Jessica's pale face, Quill had a kind of pleasure of a successful prank, but he found that the hand bandaging him was still steady and powerful without trembling at all. The scene he expected where Riley and Xu Shangqi, these two young men, were scared by him didn't appear.

Xu Shangqi looked a bit nauseous, but just knelt by the wall without saying a word, while Riley stared at him with a slightly cold look while bandaging, as if he were dealing with a piece of pork.

"Hey, boys, give some reaction, scream, or say you were scared, it's fine. I just dug out Captain America's heart!"

"That was just a monster," Xu Shangqi pursed his lips and said: "No matter how many glorious resumes he has, it's all in the past. To take a step back, you were also in self-defense."

"We really don't have time to care about these trivial details," Riley licked his somewhat dry lips and said: "You can accuse me of being cold and cruel for not jumping up to accuse you of digging out my friend's and elder's heart."

"But obviously, the trouble isn't over yet, and we are much stronger than you. If you don't want another concussion, you'd better be polite to us."

Riley never dreamed that he would have a day like a gangster threatening others, but what made him happy was that the threat was very effective, and this fool in front of him shut his mouth. ===== CHAPTER 1392 =====
