Marvel Guardians

Chapter 8 The unbearable past (2)

"Don't... don't..." Jessica Jones shouted in her sleep, clenching the sheets with both hands, and the veins on the back of her hands were exposed.

Suddenly, Jessica Jones sat up suddenly, panting heavily, and her whole body was dripping with sweat. It took a while to calm down.

It was the same nightmare again, the process of meeting that demon, and the unbearable past that tightly entangled her like a curse.

She thought she would forget those experiences as time went by, but with the return of the demon, it clearly resurfaced and tormented Jessica Jones even more.

Jessica Jones pushed her wet hair behind her ears with trembling hands, revealing a few bruises on her face. She looked out the window, it was dusk again. Jessica Jones lifted the quilt and got out of bed, came to the living room and office, threw herself on the seat behind the desk, and stared at the ceiling in trance.

After sitting for a while, Jessica Jones picked up the whiskey bottle on the table and put it to her mouth, but not a drop of wine came out of the bottle. Jessica Jones shook it unwillingly, and the bottle was already dry, not even a drop of wine came out. No wine stains at all.

"Fuck" Jessica Jones cursed secretly and threw the bottle into the trash can. But with a crisp clang, the bottle fell outside the trash can and shattered into pieces, making Jessica Jones feel crazy.

With a heavy sigh, Jessica Jones stood up and went to the broken glass, hastily threw a few large pieces of glass into the trash can, put on her clothes and went out.

Arriving outside Luke Cage's bar again, Jessica Jones wandered around, looking for the familiar figure through the glass window. The bar was still full of people, and the atmosphere was still lively, but the excitement was extremely far away from Jessica. It was separated by the glass window, and Jessica Jones seemed to be in another world.

Jessica Jones looked around the bar, but did not find Shen Nuo, and her heart was full of disappointment and contradiction. She longed to see Shen Nuo but felt uneasy. What would happen if she found him? Cry to him about what happened to you? Shen Nuo couldn't help her, there would only be one more innocent victim.

When Jessica Jones was about to leave, Shen Nuo's voice came from behind: "Jessica?"

Jessica Jones lowered her head in panic, trying to cover the scars on her face with her hair, but it was all in vain. Shen Nuo had already walked in front of Jessica Jones. When he saw the scars on her face, he was a little surprised and then full of pity. He asked with concern: "What happened?"

Jessica Jones had mixed feelings in her heart and didn't know what to say. She finally sighed lightly and replied: "It's nothing, just...just..." Finally she didn't know what to say.

Shen Nuo looked at Jessica Jones, who was much more haggard than the previous two days, and said, "Tell me, maybe I can help you."

Looking at Shen Nuo's concerned eyes, Jessica Jones felt warm in her heart, but she also felt helpless. No one could deal with that demon. She could not drag other people in and increase unnecessary sacrifices.

Jessica Jones shook her head and said, "Don't worry, I can handle it."

"Obviously you can't."

"I don't need help." Jessica Jones walked around Shen Nuo and moved forward. Shen Nuo grabbed Jessica Jones's wrist when she turned around. When he was about to persuade her again, she felt Jessica Jones pull away, so she unconsciously exerted a little force on her hand. Then she felt Jessica Jones also exerting force and her strength suddenly increased.

Shen Nuo wanted to let go of Jessica Jones but was afraid that she would fall, so he used a little more force on his hand, and the strength of the two of them suddenly increased to a level beyond ordinary people.

Shen Nuo and Jessica Jones noticed something strange about each other at the same time, but neither of them let go. Jessica Jones tried to increase her strength little by little, and Shen Nuo also increased her strength.

The force they used soon approached one thousand pounds, a level that no one, no matter how strong their physique, would reach. Shen Nuo was already certain that Jessica Jones was a mutant, and Jessica Jones was also confused.

The two of them tacitly took back their strength, but Shen Nuo still held Jessica's wrist. "Are you one of them?" Jessica Jones asked, but in a positive tone. Shen Nuo replied without comment: "Obviously you are too."

A glimmer of light flashed in Jessica Jones's eyes, and her haggard face slowly relaxed. The wrist held by Shen Nuo gently reversed, and instead grabbed Shen Nuo's wrist, and slowly moved closer to Shen Nuo...

"A week ago, Hope's parents came to me and asked me to help them find Hope. I accepted their commission, and then based on Hope's credit card consumption records, I traced every place Hope had ever visited, but soon I found that things were getting more and more wrong, those places were too familiar, they were all like places I had been to before - when I was with that demon, their layout was almost exactly the same."

Jessica Jones lay on her side and said softly: "When I finally found Hope, I was so scared that I barely had the strength to walk out of that room. I was finally sure that Kilgrave was not dead, and this was the The devil's trap, tempting me to walk in step by step. Because that room is exactly the same as the room I stayed in last time." Jessica Jones shrank, and Shen Nuo hugged her from behind and held her in his arms.

"Hope kept jumping on the bed, painful and embarrassed. When Kilgrave issued an order, although the person who heard it resisted in his heart, his body would execute the order uncontrollably, and the demon took pleasure in it. . Hope had been dancing for a long time, and I saw that she could hardly bear it anymore. I was surrounded by fear and did not dare to think too much, so I took Hope away forcibly."

"After leaving that room, Hope calmed down. I thought the effect of Kilgrave's order had weakened, but I didn't expect that it was also his order. I met her parents, and then..."
