Shadow of the Beautiful World

Stars, this is the last frontier of civilization.

It is like an endless ocean, which contains secrets that cannot be measured in time and space. At this time, on a piece of land far away from the earth, a letter that spans the entire galaxy has finally been delivered to the recipient hands.

It's really hard to find your place.

As the 'messenger' Frank, this alien disguised as a small dog on the earth landed on all fours, followed Talos, the leader of the moderate Skrulls, and walked quickly up a hillside, sniffing the green grass The air, which is somewhat similar to the earth, complained:

I thought you were in the southern Milky Way, but I didn't expect you to have escaped from the Milky Way. This made me have to endure the rudeness and ridicule of those interstellar pirates, and bear the risk of being shot down by the Kerry fleet at any time. The boat comes here.

The recent situation in the Southern Galaxy is not suitable for living.

Talos explained to the small dog behind him:

Although the war between the Queen and the Cree was forcibly mediated by the Shia Empire, the open and secret fighting between the two sides has intensified. This peace will not last long. Soon, a super war that will determine the outcome of the two races and the three empires will begin. It's going to ignite, and we need to get out of there early so we don't get caught up in it.

The tall Skrull looked over his shoulder at the dog with a backpack behind him, and said:

You are from the earth, can you tell me, how is the situation on the earth during this time?

It's still the same.

With a very human bored expression on Flack's face, it said:

It's tepid, there's nothing good about it, but there's nothing bad about it either. When you stay in that world, you'll feel that time flies by, and sometimes it's boring, but when I go back to my hometown in South Yinhe, it's depressing to see here. Crazy shadow of war, I really want to return to Earth as soon as possible.

Peaceful times are indeed boring, but compared with cruel wars, that kind of boredom is too precious.

The dog stuck out its tongue and said:

Haven't you arrived yet? Where does that woman named Carol live?

Soon.

Talos glanced at the distant valley and said:

Carol went to 'visit' an old friend in the Cree Empire some time ago. She was slightly injured, and she needs to recuperate in a quiet place.

The wise chief of the Skruuls paused, and continued:

I guess, this letter should be sent by Merlin?

how do you know?

Frank showed a surprised expression, it looked at Talos, it said:

Do you also know Agent Merlin?

It's not just acquaintance.

Talos smiled, and he said to Frank:

He's helped us, he's our friend, how is he doing?

not so good.

Frank walked over a bush, and it shook its body frantically, shaking the dew off its fur, and said:

That guy is alone, he looks a little depressed, probably because he stayed in the dark for too long, which gave him a gloomy temperament. The energy in his body is not very stable, like Like a walking bomb, ready to explode with a bang at any moment.

The dog said exaggeratedly:

When I saw him for the first time, my instinct told me to stay as far away from him as possible. I originally wanted to refuse this letter delivery request, but unfortunately, the reward he offered me made me unable to refuse.

One person and one dog chatted and walked along the mountain road. After ten minutes, they came to a very hidden valley.

Frank stood on the ridge and looked down. In the valley full of all kinds of strange flowers, there was a wooden house, which looked like a small wooden villa on earth.

In this land far from the earth, against the backdrop of alien flowers of various colors, the house seems to be filled with a secluded, close-to-nature feeling.

And Carol Danvers, the earthling living in the new homeland of the Skrulls, a real superhero, a woman who is strong enough to rival a fleet, is lying on a deck chair by the garden, watching Going up is basking in the sun.

The planet chosen by the Skrulls as their home is really similar to the earth, even the sunlight is almost exactly the same, but if you look carefully, the sunlight here is more or less reddish, just like the sunset on the earth. Let the space in this world look very beautiful all the time.

Go.

Talos squatted down, patted Frank on the head, and said:

Send Merlin's letter to Carol. Although she never said it, I know that in her heart, she also cares about her hometown and friends. This letter may bring her spiritual comfort.

I don't think so.

Frank looked at Talos hesitantly, and it said:

How is Ms. Carroll recently?

Are you sure that she won't punch me away when she hears bad news? I've heard about the things she did in the Southern Milky Way... The Kerry fleet that can fight has died several times without a fight. Escape, this is a truly ruthless character.

You said, this is bad news?

Talos looked at the puppy in front of him, he shrugged his shoulders, a schadenfreude smile appeared on his green face, and he said to Frank:

Then I can only wish you luck, Mister Messenger.

Frank bared his teeth at Talos who turned away with a smile, and the puppy barked twice to express his dissatisfaction.

But Frank is a virtuous alien. After accepting other people's requests and discussing the remuneration, he must do what he promised others.

So, a few minutes later, Frank sneaked into the edge of the cabin in the valley. It hid in the flowers, looked forward, and found that Carol seemed to be really asleep on the deck chair.

Compared with a few years ago, Carol's slightly plump face has become thinner, and she still maintains the original short blonde hair, which is almost no different from the image in Merlin's memory.

She was lying on the chair, tilting her head in the warm sunlight, and fell into a deep sleep. She was still covered with a black flight jacket, which was very old and had traces of mending on it.

Although the Skrulls who built a large city nearby have only just begun to rebuild civilization, they have already produced a complete set of daily necessities. Carol must have valued this coat so much that he did not throw it away.

The pupils of Frank's eyes contracted while hiding in the flowers. As an alien, it can directly observe biological energy, which gives Frank the ability to distinguish and avoid powerful enemies.

In Frank's eyes, Ms. Carol, who was sleeping in front of him, pale because of injuries, slender and frail, the energy in her body was like a burning sun.

That golden-red, flaming tumbling light almost blinded Frank's dog's eyes.

It thinks that the restless energy in Merlin's body is amazing enough, but compared with the lady in front of him, Merlin's energy is really not enough.

What are you doing hiding there?

Just as Frank closed his stinging eyes and shook his head trying to suppress the pain in his throat, Carol's hoarse voice sounded in the garden.

Come here, puppy.

She leaned on the recliner and changed her position, but her eyes were still closed, as if she was unwilling to wake up from her beautiful dream.

With a touch of laziness, she hooked her fingers to Frank who was hiding in the garden, and she said:

I heard all the conversation between you and Talos... You said you brought me a letter and bad news?

Yes, Ms. Carroll.

Frank timidly walked out of the garden with a hint of fear. He walked up to Carol and let Carol take out Merlin's letter from the backpack on his back. He peeked at Carol's expression, and then explain:

Agent Merlin asked me to bring you a sentence.

Say it.

Carol opened the letter and said:

What did he want to say to me?

He said he missed you very much.

Frank squatted on the ground and said honestly:

But the distance between you is too far. He still loves you very much, but he can't hold on anymore.

Carol stopped opening the letter, and Frank felt keenly that the energy in this terrifying woman's body was tumbling at this moment, and the power that became manic at that moment made Frank a little frightened, afraid that the next moment he would Fall prey to Merlin and Carol's relationship problems.

But through years of fighting and practicing, Carol has been able to control his huge power very well.

In just an instant, the slightly irritable force calmed down.

Carol opened her eyes, she sighed, and opened the letter in her hand.

This letter is not long.

Carol:

It was a tough decision, and writing this letter was probably one of the hardest things I've ever done in the first half of my life.

In the past few years, whenever I fell asleep, your figure would always appear in my bizarre dreams. This proves that even after being separated for many years, you still have a special place in my heart.

But I have to admit, the relationship between us is complicated, and we didn't even really say 'love' between us.

A man always has a deep memory of every first time in his life. I have thought many times about leaving the earth and going to see you among the stars. But on the one hand, because of busy trivial matters, on the other hand, because of my lack of strength, I let My actions have been delayed for too long, and today, I have too many fetters on my body, making it impossible for me to let go of all kinds of things in this world.

My fate is complicated. Those who hide behind fate will not let me have beautiful things so easily. I didn't understand it at the time, but now I understand it. Maybe your departure is also due to some kind of have no choice.

You sacrificed for me too. You were forced to live away from home because of me. It shouldn't have happened. It makes me feel guilty.

After you left, I met another girl, but not long ago, she also left my life like you, which made me realize that if I continue to dwell on the past, then whether it is you or me, Whether it's anyone else, they can't really enter the new stage of life, so I think it's time for us to face this issue.

It pains me, it hurts.

But, it's time to really say goodbye, my Carol.

I miss you very much. I still love you as much as when you left, just like our unspoken but tacit feelings to each other. But I can't be so selfish and let you continue to be affected by my fate.

You're free, Carol. I figured, by the time you return to Earth again, I'll have sorted out my troubles, and if I'm still alive after that, then maybe we can have a little more chat about the years we've had with each other. Let’s have a drink together.”

Good luck to you, Carol.

——Love you, Merlin.

After Carol read the letter, there was a trace of hidden sadness in her eyes, and a trace of undisguised worry.

Looking down at Frank, she asked:

How was Merlin when he gave you the letter?

Well, frankly, it's pretty bad.

Frank lay on the ground, sticking out his tongue, and said to Carol:

His life form has changed, he is no longer a pure human being, and the energy in his body is also very unstable. I can feel that it should not be his real form, and something terrible seems to have happened to him.

Did he tell you what he was going to do?

Carol asked again, Frank shook his head, and the dog said:

I don't know him very well. If it wasn't for sending letters, I might not have had any contact with him. But Ms. Carroll...

Frank said softly:

He should really love you. When he handed me the letter, I saw the pain in his eyes. It was like tearing off a piece of heart. It couldn't be faked.

Yeah?

Carol stroked her flight jacket and whispered:

Is that cute little man still so emotional?

Wait a minute, puppy, help me send a letter back to Earth.

Carol stood up, put the flight jacket over her shoulders, pushed the door and walked into the room. Ten minutes later, she came out with a letter and a strange thing, and put both things behind Frank's back pocket.

She put on the worn-out black jacket, and at the moment when her fists collided lightly, golden-red flames burst out from her body, rendering her like a flame goddess in armor at this moment.

A red ribbon composed of golden-red flames danced around Carol's waist. She lowered her head, her flying flaming hair, and those burning sun-like eyes looked at Frank with a face of fear, and she said:

Let's go, puppy, I'll send you through the Kree defense line.

By the way... take this opportunity to 'chat' with Ronan, who is not dead, and the highest wisdom who is still alive.

Moments later, Carol, who was holding Frank, rushed into the sky of the new homeland of the Skrulls like a golden meteor.

The Skoru children playing by the city saw the shooting star rushing into the stars, they shouted Carol's name, and cheered to send their patron saint into the battlefield of the stars.

There was anger in Carol's eyes, a rage growing in her body and soul.

She wants to vent this anger born of love.

Those belligerent and repulsive Cree make good sandbags.
