Shadow of the Beautiful World

For Merlin, solving the Skrull problem is actually quite simple.

Come to this world with the body of the heavenly father, conduct a large-scale spiritual listening, and then search country by country, and you can always clean up those Skrulls who are hiding.

But this easy has a premise.

Under the current general environment, he is bound to attract a lot of attention if he conducts such a large-scale activity in this world.

The fragile balance between the hell lords who are in a state of confrontation will be broken, and it is likely to directly trigger the conflict of the king of hell.

This is equivalent to Merlin personally giving up the plan he has been preparing for so long.

Disrupting all existing plans, just for a group of scumbags lurking on the earth, this is undoubtedly not worth the candle.

So after thinking about it several times, Lord Raven decided to hand over the situation of the Skrulls to Fury, and he would continue to stay in the shadows.

At the dawn of a chaotic night, in the Eastern European city of Sokovia, a group of mutants hurriedly came out of the airport.

Headed by Colossus, one of the X-Men.

This big, muscular guy doesn't have a good look on his face, and there's nothing happy or relaxed about it, they're here to deal with trouble.

About the trouble Logan caused.

Logan's contact signal eventually disappeared in the city. We don't know what happened now, but we have to get him back to Utopia before anyone else finds him.

Bobby, you and Catherine search east, Mary and John west.

On the square outside the airport, Ganglishi glanced at the communicator on his wrist, pursed his lips, and said to the four companions behind him with a serious expression:

I stay in the city. Anyone who finds something must contact his companions as soon as possible, and cannot act alone.

I heard that Logan is being hunted down?

Behind Colossus, the X-Men Phantom Cat in a long dress chewed gum and said softly:

Hunted by who?

A group of very dangerous people.

Colossus didn't seem to want to disclose more information, he replied in a short tone:

But the professor senses maliciousness coming, so we have to prepare for it. Go ahead, let's do our own thing.

The four young people didn't complain too much. This action was ordered by Professor Charles. The professor has a high status in the mutant society, and these young people almost obey the professor's leadership unconditionally.

Ganglishi watched his companion leave in the car. He looked around, stopped a taxi, and left the airport quickly.

Ten minutes later, he appeared on the roof of a building in the center of the city. The mutant looked at the small mountain town in front of him. He took out a special communication device from his arms and clasped it on his wrist.

He pressed the button and waited for the signal to be connected. After a while, among the noisy voices, Logan's representative hoarse voice sounded:

Are you here? Just you?

Logan's voice was full of weakness, mixed with painful coughing, and it seemed that he was indeed seriously injured.

But Colossus frowned, and he asked in the Skrull language:

Last night, in Bucharest, what the hell happened? Our companions went there to see, where you disappeared, there was only ruins left, and nothing was found. We called you, but there was no response .”

After more than an hour, you suddenly appeared again

You doubt me?

Logan also switched to Skrull, probably because he was too excited, and his voice was a bit sharp, mixed with unconcealable anger.

Don't be so impulsive, my brother.

Colossus said slowly:

Isn't doubt the foundation of us people? In this special world, in this special period, we must doubt everything, not to mention, this is His Majesty's order.

Besides me, there are our other brothers in Sokovia now. We are here to save you, but if you can't prove yourself, then we can also come to bury you.

Tell me what happened to you.

Under Colossus' persuasion, Logan, who was hiding, was silent for a while, and then whispered:

Okay! I'll tell you all.

Last night, when I was talking to you, and Charles, Domino

You know me. When I'm alone, I like to let myself relax. Something went a little wrong. The girl who was with me saw me when I changed form.

Laura Riley?

The corners of Colossus' eyes twitched suddenly.

He gritted his teeth and said:

Don't tell me that you are being hunted down now because it has something to do with the Riley family's girl?

I don't want to either.

Logan argued with intense remorse:

I know His Majesty ordered us not to get close to the Raven's family. When Merlin asked me to take Laura to practice fighting skills at first, I refused, but he said it a second time, and I couldn't help it. .”

I can't change my identity and disappear suddenly, right? That will definitely arouse Raven's suspicion.

I've tried my best to get that girl away, but who knows about her anyway, in order to keep our secret, I had to kill her.

You killed her?

Colossus' tone immediately rose several degrees, and he shouted in a surprised and angry tone:

Are you crazy? Even if you can't do anything, you can still notify our companions to replace Laura.

Do you think I'm so stupid that I don't even know this?

Logan retorted:

I restrained her and wanted to contact you, but that cunning girl called for support in a way I don't understand. Maybe it's the mysterious magic in this world that I don't have a choice at all. In order to keep the secret, I can only kill her. Drop her!

Who is chasing you?

Colossus didn't bother to ask more questions, he asked:

When you killed Laura, who saw it?

There is only one person, your good sister.

Logan said unhappily:

Liana Latympus, she was the first to arrive at the scene, and she was the one who created the big explosion.

I managed to get rid of her after changing a lot of identities, but she should still be in this city now. In short, the identity of Logan is no longer usable. You have to find a way to cover me from leaving the city.

Colossus blinked, and he asked again:

Where are you now?

It's three blocks ahead of you, see? I'm waving.

Logan responded, and Colossus raised his head, his eyes changing focus like a zooming camera.

Soon he could see clearly that nearly a thousand meters below him, on the top of a factory building, a woman in a skirt was waving in his direction.

That's Logan.

For the Skrulls, this change of appearance is a basic ability.

You come to me.

Colossus stared at that guy suspiciously, he said:

I need to make sure of a few things first.

OK.

Logan was also very refreshing. Under the gaze of Colossus, she quickly jumped off the roof and moved forward along the straight street. When passing an intersection, she even changed her identity.

From the form of a woman to an old man with a cane.

This scene was seen by Colossus.

He nodded slightly.

It seems that it is indeed a companion, and it is not a human being in disguise.

The Skrulls hiding on the earth don't think their existence has been exposed. They are very confident in their ability to replace disguises. In addition, the Skrulls have their own internal procedures for identifying their own people.

Even the best agents of mankind, if they want to sneak into the Skrull group, it is impossible to do it.

But this Logan guy got into big trouble.

After the Battle of New York, Merlin Riley died, causing Carol, Clark and Kara to vent their anger. The Kerrys destroyed the last stronghold of the Skrulls in the stars and almost wiped out the Skrulls. last hope.

After the news of Merlin's resurrection was confirmed through various channels, the queen ordered that the Skrulls hidden on the earth should not provoke other members of the Riley family, so as not to be targeted by the dangerous Lord of Hell.

All replacement actions against Merlin's relatives have been terminated. Now that the Kree are about to invade the earth, it is a good opportunity for the Skrulls to show their talents. But at this moment, that idiot Logan killed Merlin's sister.

What a ghost!

But really, rather than revealing the truth about the Skrulls on Earth, in the situation Logan described, killing Laura is undoubtedly the best way to completely silence it.

Dead people don't tell secrets.

I'm coming over.

Logan had already walked to a distance of less than 500 meters from the building where Colossus was. He stood by the side of the road and looked up at the place where Colossus was.

When the traffic light was on, the Skrull on crutches walked on the sidewalk calmly, no different from an ordinary old man.

But when he reached the middle of the road, a red door suddenly opened.

Under the surprised gaze of the Colossus, his sister, carrying the Soul Slayer, and the border queen wearing a black armor rushed out of the light gate angrily, swung her sword and slashed at the old man in Logan's disguise.

Logan did not sit still.

He still maintained his white-haired appearance, but he dodged the blow of the big sword dexterously.

He didn't turn around to fight, but turned his head to glance at Colossus' position, and then ran away.

The speed was extremely fast, and Liana also chased after it with her sword in hand. A few minutes later, in a block a thousand meters away, a terrifying explosion exploded in Colossus' vision with light and shadow shining.

Logan! Logan?

Colossus used the communicator to inquire, but there was no response, only bursts of busy tones.

swish

A red light curtain appeared behind Colossus, and the Frontier Queen walked out holding a severed, bloody, twitching arm.

She lifted the helmet, looked at the arm in her hand with a disgruntled look, and then burned it with the fire of hell. In the bad smell of barbecue, she raised her head and looked at her brother. She asked suspiciously:

Piot, shouldn't you be on Utopia Island? What are you doing here?

I still want to ask you, sister.

Colossus quietly put away the Skrull communicator on his wrist, he turned his head, his resolute face was full of doubts, and he asked:

Didn't you say that you are going to be busy dealing with the borderline of hell recently? Why did you appear in Sokovia again and hunt down an old man? How did he provoke you?

Forget it, it's annoying.

Liana was leaning on a long sword, and she complained to Colossus:

That's not an old man at all, it's a monster that can change its shape freely, it turned into Logan and killed Laura, most likely some bastards who are afraid of chaos in the world, want to use this to blame the mutant People, come to provoke a conflict between us and Merlin.

Logan?

Colossus stared wide-eyed, and said in astonishment:

In the early hours of this morning, Logan sent a message to Utopia Island, saying that he was being hunted down by a mysterious person. The professor sent us to protect Logan and take him back to Utopia Island. But according to what you said, this is a conspiracy ?”

right!

Liana gritted her teeth and said:

This must be a conspiracy. I'm still hiding the news. Merlin doesn't know the truth yet, but I can't keep it from you for long. You also know that Merlin loves his sisters more. Now that Laura is dead, Raven will go crazy.

Having said that, the border queen couldn't help but shudder. She looked around and said to her brother:

I'll try my best to delay the time, you go back to Utopia immediately, tell the professor about this, and let him prepare.

I left a beacon on that monster, but it kept changing its identity, making it difficult for my beacon to capture it accurately. I need the help of the X-Men before Merlin leads the hell legion into Utopia

We have to catch it!

Colossus pursed his lips.

His mind was running fast, but he couldn't see such doubts on the surface. He nodded to his sister and said in a serious tone:

I'll tell the professor about this right away, and I'll leave Merlin to you, sister, you must hold him steady, we can't let those thugs' schemes succeed!

I try my best.

Liana sighed, she scratched her hair irritably, she reached out and patted her brother's shoulder, a faint orange light penetrated into Colossus' body.

The border queen lowered her voice and said to her brother:

If things can't be done, don't be stupid to be buried with Utopia. Once Merlin enters Utopia, you come to the border of hell immediately, and Merlin will give me this face.

Um.

Colossus nodded.

The border queen wanted to say something, but she frowned suddenly, and looked to the northwest of the city. A cold murderous intent flashed in her eyes, and she said:

I can feel the aura of that bastard, I'll go after him first, you guys hurry up and send someone over!

After speaking, Liana stepped forward and disappeared into the red light and shadow.

Colossus watched the border queen leave, rubbed his chin, and began to sort out the matter from the beginning.

His thinking was extremely active at this moment, as if the heavy pressure made him think faster, every node was considered, and all doubts he had before were dispelled.

The authenticity of this incident has been confirmed, but fortunately, judging from Liana's performance, the secret of the Skrulls has not yet been revealed.

this matter

There is still hope!
