Marvel's Dark Shadows

"So why do you bother?"

Xiao Mai was slumped on a wicker chair, holding a glass of drink in his metal arm. On the other side, several ninjas were helping Xiao Mai trim his nails with their heads down. In front of them, the Guardians of the Galaxy were bundled into a ball, and Rocket Raccoon was placed in front of him. To Xiaomai's position.

"I heard you bragging about being the number one inventor and science in the galaxy...

"Hehehe, man, you usually don't take your words seriously when you are drunk. You can't always believe those baseless things. They also say that a piece of shit can cure all diseases."

Rocket Raccoon said quickly, looking like he would fight anyone who praised him.

"Look at my small brain, it doesn't look like I can invent anything."

Xiao Mai's tone paused, and after a while he couldn't help but laugh.

"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. You're hurting yourself."

The black air blew past, and the rope on Rocket Raccoon broke instantly. Amidst the disbelieving shouts of his teammates, he turned into Xiao Mai's puppet.

"Look, if you have too many lice but it doesn't itch, don't just utter dirty words and do something for me. I can end my control of the rocket in the future and you can continue to wander the universe."

There are a few stronger little black spots on King Snake's huge body. Xiao Mai has reason to believe that the progress of his space project will be much faster with the help of the kind-hearted Guardians of the Galaxy.

"I was wrong."

Gamora, the only one who had not been turned into a puppet, gritted her teeth and followed Xiao Mai's movements with her eyes.

"I always thought you were Thanos's subordinate, but now, I know that you are a demon on par with him."

"But don't say that."

Xiao Mai stepped forward and reached out to pinch Gamora's chin.

"Do you know why you escaped death?"

"Haha, you don't know how much your father Thanos loves you. When he is not thinking about his great cause of the universe, you are his only weakness."

Waving his hand, Xiao Mai motioned to the ninjas to take Gamora away and imprison him. After all, now he didn't even know where Thanos was, and he couldn't talk about what to do with Gamora.

"Loki, use illusions on Gamora every other day. She knows where the soul gem is, but don't be too deliberate. This girl is still very vigilant."

Xiao Mai seemed to have remembered something and called Loki to give some instructions.

Loki bowed slightly and left, seemingly not talking too much to the current Xiao Mai.

Xiao Mai watched Loki leave with half-squinted eyes. After being silent for a long time, he summoned the puppet Xiao Mai.

"You trust this Loki"

"I gave him a second chance to live, so I trusted him."

The puppet Xiao Mai answered Xiao Mai's question truthfully. The latter nodded noncommittally, holding his chin with both hands and not knowing what he was thinking about.

"I don't trust him because he is the famous Loki, but I trust your judgment because you have demonstrated your success in employing people."

After Xiao Mai's comprehensive consideration of the parallel universe data left by the puppet Xiao Mai, he felt that he should not touch it easily for the time being, but if he is allowed to find the parallel universe by himself, then everything here must be found by someone strong enough. , watching the operation of all plans on behalf of Xiao Mai.

After writing a random note, applying some black magic and throwing it into the air, Xiao Mai closed his eyes and fell asleep on the satellite cluster building that was still under construction on the edge of Saturn.

At this time, Loki, who was leaning on the edge of the mansion prison on Earth, looked up at the sky, then stretched out his hand to grab a piece of paper. After scanning it for a few times, Loki casually lit the note on fire. He continued to lean on the edge of the mansion and prison, his expression unchanged at all.

The silent dark world welcomed two uninvited guests. They looked exactly the same. The only difference was the metal prosthesis on the left arm of the person walking in front, and the former just turned back to look at the latter.

"Does it look familiar? If it weren't for the information you left behind, I wouldn't even know I would be able to come here after falling asleep."

"Since Sithorn sealed me, I have never been here again."

Puppet Xiao Mai looked around, his eyes seemed to be reminiscing, but the emotion conveyed was still extremely cold.

Xiao Mai smiled, turned to look at the quagmire on the side of the path below, raised his arm and blasted it out with a repulsor cannon.

"Anyway, I don't know how to choose parallel universes. I just leave such randomness to God."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Mai had already grabbed the collar of the puppet Xiao Mai and jumped into the rolling quagmire.

In the ice and snow, a pale young man slowly opened his eyes. After moving a few times, his arms dropped weakly. The young man twisted his head hard, and when he saw the thick snow on the side, , couldn't help but be shocked, because he knew that with his current physical condition, he would freeze to death in a short time.

"Xiao Mai"

After the young man shouted twice, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, because he knew that the puppet Xiao Mai was probably separated from him. In this soul-piercing world, without the protection of the puppet Xiao Mai, his ability to protect himself was very limited. limited.

He turned his head, opened his mouth, took a bite of snow and chewed it in his mouth. Although this would lower his body temperature more quickly, the cold stimulation quickly awakened Xiao Mai's sleepy brain.

"There is no magic power in the body. This needs to be practiced again. But the worst thing is that there are no shadows in this snow-white place. Even if I rely on the golden finger itself, I cannot summon the shadow army."

Xiao Mai quickly calculated in his mind. He had the information about Xiao Mai's future time travel. He knew that hell starts were common, and 80% of them were punishment for interfering with other parallel universes at will.

After swallowing the snow water that melted in his mouth, Xiao Mai moved his body with great effort, and then raised his neck, artificially creating a small shadow area under the back of his head.

A ninja's arm stretched out from the shadows and supported Xiao Mai's head, which was about to fall due to fatigue. Then as more and more of the ninja's body came out of the ground, Xiao Mai was also completely propped up.

With the help of the ninja, Xiao Mai found a dead tree that he couldn't name to lean against, and then asked the ninja to help find some firewood to make a fire, and to see if there was anyone nearby.

After a while, a short boy followed the traces deliberately left by the ninja and groped his way to the vicinity.

"Oh my God, sir, what's wrong with you?"

The boy exclaimed when he saw Xiao Mai and moved to Xiao Mai's side through the thick snow.

"Don't panic, sir, I have some dried meat here. You fill your stomach first, and I'll call for help."

Xiao Mai looked at the young man's Wolverine-like face, a little stunned, and weakly called out: "Wait, uh, thank you very much, may I ask your name?"

"Call me Little Smiddy, sir"

ps: Little Smiddy is the former name of Wolverine in his youth in the comics. Few people should know about this. Even if you are a loyal comic fan, there are probably many people who have never read that ancient comic.
