Shadow of the Beautiful World

Everyone, the Skrull in front of you is not some unknown person. His name is Talos, and he is the leader of the Skrull military force, at least he used to be.

In the living room of Maria's house, Carol Danvers looked at the aliens tied to the pillars. She introduced to others:

The ancestors of the Skrulls have received unimaginably rich rewards from the civilization subversion war they are good at, so they have tasted the sweetness, and they have been trying to expand this invasion for generations.

They have been victorious, using their camouflage capabilities and plundered resources to build a huge star sea empire. Until, they turned their war against the Kree.

The highest wisdom of the Kree civilization noticed the plan of the Skrulls nearly ten thousand years ago, and it conveyed this threat to several war leaders of the Kree Empire, including the Supreme Accuser Council, so the Kree Empire dispatched its fleet and began There was a war with the Skrulls. But no one could have imagined that the war would go on until now.

Carol didn't seem to want to mention the Kree civilization too much, so she turned to the alien Talos in front of her.

The blond shrew stood up, and said to the others with vigilance:

Our Mr. Talos was the chief of the spy force that was once the most trusted by Queen Skoru. He once commanded the professional spies of the Skoru people to invade several planets and successfully subverted those civilizations.

He is a true master spy. In the Kree military headquarters, the head of His Excellency Talos is worth 80 million stars. However, Talos disappeared strangely more than ten years ago.

There are gossip that Talos took some of the Skoru refugees who lost their homes due to the war, escaped from Queen Skoru's rule, and fled to the edge of the galaxy. But I didn't expect that I would see this in the galaxy A commanding officer of great renown.

So, Mr. Talos, is this another civilization subversion?

Fury frowned, and he asked in a deep voice:

This time your target is the earth?

Stop joking, earthlings.

Talos was tied to a post, and he maintained that uncomfortable posture. He looked at Fury with a strange smile on his face, and he said:

You think highly of yourself. With your current strength, you don't need Skoru's spy force. The Queen only needs to send a cruise fleet to easily occupy your world. You haven't stepped into the Star Wars yet. What about the stage?

Perhaps, in the eyes of this Ms. Carol, you are all just a group of newly civilized savages. Although, she is also from among you.

Talos let out a deep laugh, but before Carol Danvers got angry, he quickly changed the subject.

He said to Fury and the agents in front of him:

What Carol told you is true, there is no need to doubt her. I did serve the Queen, but that was before. I almost lost my loved ones in the war, which made me realize , the war between the Queen and the Kree will not only make the Kree suffer, we are also the object of suffering.

More importantly, after the Cree destroyed our home planet, the Queen has no way out.

She will either lead us to destroy the Cree, or lead us to be buried in the war, but no matter what the result is, the civilization of the Skrulls will decline.

Talos said in a dejected tone:

This is not what I wished to see, nor what my ancestors wished to see. So I broke away from the spy force and took my people who were willing to follow me into exile in the star sea, trying to find a new home that would not be affected by the war. It has been affected by the war between the Skrulls and the Kree. If we want to survive and reforge civilization, we have to leave the galaxy.

Talos looked up, he looked at Fury:

We need one thing if we want to safely cross the battlefield and leave the galaxy under the joint siege of pursuers from both sides.

Photon engine!

what is that?

Fury asked.

He can feel that this so-called photon engine must be a very powerful thing, but unfortunately, with his technological knowledge, he is completely unable to understand how powerful this unknown thing is from the name.

That's an engine for battleships that is only in the conceptual stage, even in the technology of the Cree.

Standing aside, Carol, who folded his arms, explained in a low voice:

I heard Yon Rogg talk about this. He said that the highest intelligence of the Cree has been using huge amounts of calculations, trying to simulate the prototype of the photon engine. Once that thing is put into use, it will make the existing warships upgrade. The power of more than 5 times can push them forward in the sea of ​​stars at a speed of more than 10 times.

As fast as light?

Merlin interjected, but Talos laughed.

No, no, the photon engine is much faster than light! Its real function is to allow warships to open wormholes more frequently, allowing us exiles to leave the battlefield before being captured and targeted by enemy warships.

After finishing speaking, Talos looked at the indifferent Carol Danforth again, and he said:

Six years ago, Mar-Will contacted me, saying that she had completed the design and installation of the photon engine, and transformed her laboratory into a refugee ship. But when I rushed to the At that time, what I got was the news of Mar-Vell's death.

Wendy Lawson?

Fury asked the name back, and Talos nodded. He tilted his head and looked at Fury:

That's right, that's Ma-Vell's disguised identity on Earth.

But Yong Roger told me that Ma-Vell is a spy of the Cree military. She came to Earth to investigate the special energy and develop a weapon for the Cree to end the war!

Carol looked at Talos, her voice was full of doubts:

So, who should I trust?

He didn't lie to you, poor Carol.

Talos let out a low laugh, and said:

The highest level of lying is telling the truth, but when combined together, it is a deadly lie.

Ma-Vell is indeed a spy for the Cree military, but she is a rare pacifist. Like me, she also lost a lot in the war between the two tribes. Compared with other Cree people, she is the most precious The point is that she will reflect on the consequences of the war. She has also seen with her own eyes that there are so many injustices in the war of the Cree.”

We exiles who have escaped from the war are still within the scope of your ruthless destruction by your warships.

Ma-Vell is different from those hypocritical hypocrites. The two of us have saved each other's lives in wars. She is my only Kerry friend.

Talos said:

She took the initiative to contact me and told me that she would help us design a photon engine to help those of us who don't want war leave the galaxy and find a new home.

She also told me that the Kree's photonic engine design is correct, and the reason why they can't make progress is because they lack a kind of energy related to space.

And that kind of energy has appeared on Earth!

The chief of the Skrulls said in a deep voice:

That's why Ma-Vell arrived on Earth. Everything she did was not to end the war, but to save lives.

Yes! Wendy Lawson did say that to us often.

Maria held Carol's hand, and she said to her best friend:

She always said it wasn't about ending the war, it was about doing something good.

But Yon Rogue, he said

Carol wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Natasha standing beside her.

The black widow brushed her long burgundy hair and said to Carol:

Forget about that Yon Rogg, although I don't know your story, but as far as I know so far, the Cree is obviously manipulating your thinking, you see, if the evidence you find now They are all true, and they are all obviously true! That means, he has already lied to you once.

The first time a man lied to you, there will always be a second time.

Carol, believe me, I've been through the same thing except you're in a worse situation than I was.

Natasha patted Carol on the shoulder, and she said:

I ended that cheating and being cheated relationship with a bullet, Carol, you may need more than a bullet.

And you're an Earthling, Carol, you've seen the files.

Merlin also spoke:

You were never a Kree. Stop being influenced by those false memories in your head. Besides, I'm wondering why you trust that Yon Rogg so much? He saved you? He's yours spouse?

He saved me! More than once!

Carol's tone became a little more intense, and she said:

The initial memory in my mind was that I was sent to Hara dying. The doctors said that I couldn't be saved, but Yong Roger saved me with his own blood. One-third of my body My blood is from him, he gave me life, he trained me, he recruited me into Star Troopers.

wrong!

The silent Barton shook his head, and the cold agent said sharply:

He saved you to pollute you! He trained you to turn you into his war machine! He is the source of all your evil!

That's probably why you haven't been able to get your memory back, Carol.

Fury looked back at the dazed and distressed blond shrew, and said:

With Cree blood in your body, you are no longer a pure earthling. Those alien bastards are probably using this method to control you.

Then what should we do?

Carol's best friend, the pilot Maria, comforted Carol who was in pain. She asked:

Should we transfuse her? Hemodialysis?

No!

Fury shook his head, he looked at the silent Talos, he said:

Why don't you ask Mr. Talos? He has been fighting against the Cree all year round, and he is more familiar with the methods of the Cree than us.

boom

Under Fury's signal, Merlin reached out and opened the chains that bound Talos, and then put the pistol on the back of Talos' head.

Fury pointed to Carol and said to the Skoru in front of him:

Didn't you say that you came here without malice?

Come on, show your sincerity.

Talos, who was freed, moved his wrists, picked up the water on the table and drank it in one gulp, and poured a glass of water for his bound subordinates.

He turned to look at Fury, and he said:

Do you trust me that much? People on Earth. You have to know that in the entire galaxy, there are not many beings who dare to trust the Skrulls.

I don't trust you.

Fury said frankly.

So she lives you live, she dies you die.

The second half of the sentence Fury didn't say was completed by Merlin holding a pistol.

Hahaha, coercive means.

Talos didn't care about the pistol against the back of his head, he said to everyone in front of him:

Don't worry, I won't let Ms. Carol die, at least until she tells us the location of the photon engine, I will protect her more bravely than you.

As for Ms. Carroll's problem, it's actually easy to solve.

Talos moved his fingers, and he said to Carol:

We just need to finish the thing that was interrupted on the spacecraft before.

The Skrulls have a talent that can enter the memory of others. The memory blockade of the Cree is, to put it bluntly, a physiological method. Forcible forgetting is like covering the memory with a layer of white paper. As long as I can Find Carol's overwritten memory and wake it up.

The alien winked at Fury, who whispered:

You will get your super soldiers, and I will get the hope of my race's survival.

Oh, by the way, in order to show my sincerity, I will give this to you first.

Talos took out a disc-like thing from his black coat, and he handed it to Fury, he said:

This is what I found. The last remaining information about Ma-Vell before the crash included Ms. Carol's voice, which proves that when Ma-Vell died, she was by her side. And I was in the car An important line of code was found in Ms Roll's memory, but unfortunately we were unable to decipher it.

Fury looked at Talos, he took the CD, and Barton beside him quickly turned on the computer in the room, the CD was inserted, and after a long process of interpretation, a hurried female voice sounded in it.

I shouldn't have brought you with me. Here they are, they know my secret, and they won't let me live. I'm sorry, Carol, that I've put you in trouble.

Don't be silly, Lawson. Sit still, I'm going to speed up!

We're shot, damn it! Eject! Eject!

Lawson! Get ready! I'm going to crash-land!

boom

A series of loud noises seemed to be a successful forced landing, or something exploded.

That's your voice, isn't it?

Merlin looked back at Carol, who pursed his lips and nodded.

Let the two of us talk alone.

Seeing the bewildered look in Carol's eyes, Merlin suddenly said something to the others. Fury nodded to the others too, and everyone in the room left.

In the room, only Merlin and Carol were left.

The last time we were apart, let me tell you, I know what it's like to be homeless.

Merlin sat next to Carol, he looked at the painful blonde in front of him, and said:

I actually thought I was miserable enough, Carol. But after knowing your story, I suddenly felt that fate was actually kind to me.

But now these emotions can't solve the problem of that alien, I don't trust him, but he can indeed help you solve this problem and find the real you.

Carol didn't answer, Merlin stood up, stretched out his hand, touched Carol's long blond hair, and said softly:

I know, it's not a matter of taking risks or not.

This is actually a question of whether it is worth it. You are also afraid of the possible truth. Maybe you killed Ma-Vell. Maybe, you are actually a Cree, but you were born on Earth.

right.

Carol said softly:

I'm afraid, Merlin. You're right, I'm afraid of who I am, not who I imagine myself to be.

This blond haired shrew who has always shown herself strong looked up, her blue eyes were tear-stained, she looked at Merlin like a dazed stubborn girl, and said in a trembling voice:

God, I lived as a Kree for 6 years, and I know now that I lived as an Earthling for 22 years before that. You're all telling me I'm an Earthling, but I My instinct is telling me I'm a Kree.

She was pulling her hair like she was about to break down.

God, who am I? Merlin, tell me, who am I.

Merlin shook his head, he stretched out his hand and held Carol in his arms. This hug does not contain any erotic elements, just sympathetic people cuddling together for warmth.

In the warm dim lighting, the scene is like a brother comforting a lost sister, even though Carol is about five years older than Merlin.

Merlin patted Carol's trembling shoulder, and he whispered:

You are Carol Danvers.

You're still you, think of it as a dream. If you don't have a life, make a life for yourself with your hands. That's what I did, when I didn't know who I was, I chose to start over.

I have my own life, I healed myself. Now it's your turn to heal yourself.

Merlin let go of the shrew who was crying in his arms. He looked at Carol Danvers who was crying miserably in front of him. He smiled and said to her:

You're like another me, Carol.

We never have to prove ourselves to anyone.

Wipe your tears, let that Skrull help you, and help us find those lost things.
