[Zhongyingmei] Official Mascot

"Concentrate." Bucky reminded softly helplessly, he quietly patrolled the corridor with his breath held, but the two children's noisy movements kept coming from his ears, and he had to be distracted.

"Dr. Banner, have you reached the control room?"

Both Peter and Dolores honestly stopped making noise, listening to Banner's response: "I haven't arrived yet, this is the staff dormitory below, and the central control room is still below."

"Oh, I don't think I need to look any further, there's just no one here."

Peter said in frustration, he turned off the stereo, swung to the witch's broom in the dome, and looked left and right while holding the steel wire.

Dolores also searched the largest coffee shop back and forth, but she didn't even see a living thing.

Banner quickly walked through the staff dormitory and walked to the central control room. The door was open, and there was a clear view inside. Except that the driving system was still operating automatically, there was nothing.

He inserted the small USB flash drive into the host interface, and with almost no effort, Jarvis has already mastered the entire cruise ship's central control system.

Banner walked to the monitor and saw the figures of three people through the screen. Jarvis switched the camera interface, but there was no one in all the pictures.

He whispered, "There is indeed no one on board."

They stopped and asked in surprise, "No one? Really no one?"

Peter made an unreliable guess: "Uh, isn't it true that everyone is locked in a place that is not monitored?"

Banner manipulated the center console and called up all the records: "The monitoring coverage of this cruise ship is very wide, it's unlikely—I'll go back and check the monitoring."

He pulled the timeline back and took a look at his watch: "We received the message about an hour ago."

The three anxiously waited with bated breath.

Banner stared at the screen, which was the largest open-air deck. Looking at the scene, more than half of the people should have been at the party at the time. The time in the lower left corner of the screen was rapidly reversing, and he simply pulled back a lot .

Many people suddenly appeared on the screen, listening to the band playing with wine glasses on the deck, dancing slowly to the melody, and many people standing in the swimming pool, on the side of the ship, and in the corridor of the cabin.

"Jarvis, find out where Tony and the others were."

Suddenly, the monitoring screen flickered a few times, and it was divided into five small blue squares to frame five Avengers.

It's them, Tony and Hawkeye are sitting by the pool surrounded by a group of girls in bikinis, while Thor is sitting on the open-air sofa with a wine bottle and chatting with people, Natasha and the captain are just behind him on the boat not far away By the railing, leaning against the railing and holding a champagne glass, talking about something.

Everyone laughed at Yanyan and enjoyed the holiday wearing ordinary clothes.

Banner frowned, and pulled the progress bar back a bit. The picture was still in the midst of a lively party. There was no sign at all, and the screen suddenly went blank. His eyes widened. What happened?

He stared at the snowflakes on the screen, and then at the time in the lower left corner.

8:50:08

The monitoring suddenly resumed, but this time, there was no one on the screen, and the crowd on the deck suddenly disappeared completely, as if they had never existed.

"Eight seconds," Banner said suddenly.

"What?" Dolores asked suspiciously.

He propped his hands on the table and looked at it again: "There was an eight-second gap on the monitor. Before that, everyone on the cruise ship was still there. Tony and the others were all partying on the deck, but after eight seconds, everyone It just disappeared, as we see it now."

"Are you sure there is only an eight-second gap?" Bucky said in a deep voice.

"I'm sure, but there is no trace of editing in the surveillance."

Banner tapped his forehead with a headache, and he was completely helpless about the situation, so he could only sigh: "Don't look for it, this is indeed an empty ship, come to the central control room, let's check it together. "

Under the guidance of Jarvis, the three of them rushed to the central control room as quickly as possible, and they jumped on the monitoring platform together to watch the video of that time period over and over again several times.

Peter suddenly pointed his finger at Natasha and Steve on the far side: "Look at them."

Rewinding time again, Jarvis enlarged them to fill the entire screen.

Everyone stared at the video attentively, watching the two people leaning against the fence and talking face to face. Natasha smiled at the corner of her mouth, wearing a white suspender jumpsuit with wide-leg pants, with one hand in her trouser pocket and the other holding a Champagne flutes, casual attitude.But the captain was not so relaxed. He stared at his wine glass, his brows seemed to be slightly frowned, and then turned his head to look into the dark distance.

"It's right here!" Peter said. Everyone saw that Natasha raised her hand and stroked her red hair behind her ear while she was talking to the captain. He lifted it up suddenly and looked towards the sky.

Then the screen turned into a snowflake again.

Dolores said uncertainly, "Did she see something?"

Banner frowned and played it back again.

That's right, Natasha did raise her head before the picture disappeared, and after replaying, they could see that Steve also seemed to follow her and raised his head up, but he just turned his head and raised his head a little, and then the picture disappeared .

Peter said firmly, "They must have seen something!"

Banner replayed the screen again in a reduced size, covering the entire deck, carefully watching for any such omens.

Dolores also exclaimed: "There is one!"

She pointed to a man in beach shorts lying on a deck chair by the pool. He was casually chatting with friends around him, and then just a few seconds before that, he suddenly sat up a little while holding the armrest, with his head still looking up. up to the sky.

One after another, they found several people who found something strange, as well as the metal ornaments placed on the bar counter, a champagne glass tilted, and when no one was approaching, a slowly moving gray-white reflection flashed shadow.

It seems that something did appear above the deck at that time, which not only affected the monitoring, but also made thousands of people on the ship disappear instantly.

What exactly is that?

Dolores bit her lips nervously, and the atmosphere among the few fell silent. Everyone looked at the picture on the screen in surprise.

At this moment, Bucky suddenly turned his head and looked into the distance, and said quickly in a low voice, "Listen."

What's wrong?Peter looked at him in a daze, and in the silence, his eardrums also caught a faint movement.

It seemed to be the sizzling sound of electric current, mixed with a few muffled rumbles, and even gunshots.

Everyone heard it now, and Banner stood up from his chair at once, and Jarvis' voice immediately said: "It's from the theater, there is movement there." The real-time monitoring of the theater jumped out automatically on the screen, and it was a white snowflake .

No one needed to speak, they reacted quickly, and rushed back and forth towards the theater.

The theater of the Luna is next to the shopping center. The spiral stairs on both sides of the front hall lead to the theater, and a conspicuous poster hangs on the central ticket office-beautiful silver hair is scattered on the shoulders like the moonlight, ethereal gray-blue eyes As if watching the audience, the out-of-the-ordinary female singer is holding a microphone with a dazzling smile on her face. This is Tricia Swain. There are a few concise words on her side, "The voice of the siren, the top performance, All in for a special Halloween surprise from Tricia on the Selene. '

God, she's everywhere!

Dolores and Peter thought at the same time.

Another deafening shot came from the theater, almost as loud as thunder on the dead cruise ship.They quickly ran up the stairs, Bucky clenched his fist and kicked open the door.

The red seats are arranged in steps and sink down, surrounding the stage below, the auditorium is dark, only the stage is brightly lit, and there are many people standing on the stage, they are screaming hysterically, running behind the curtain in haste and chaos, There were only three people standing on the stage, and they were Natasha and Thor Steve!

"Jarvis! Turn on the lights!"

Banner yelled, and all the lights in the theater turned on.

Natasha was holding a gun in her hand, and she was shooting at the empty place under the stage, three times in a row, but the strange thing was that they only heard two gunshots, and the other one seemed to be swallowed up without any movement .The situation of Thor and Steve was even more strange. They stood on the edge of the stage with bare hands as if they were fighting something, sweating profusely, but every time they punched out, they really hit something.

How is this going?

Dolores was stunned, and quickly shouted: "Natasha!!"

They rushed down the aisle to the stage, where the three of them were still locked in a battle they couldn't see, deaf to her cries.

This scene was too weird, as if there was a transparent wall between the two groups of people, Dolores could sometimes hear the screams and gunshots on the stage, but sometimes couldn't hear them.

On the stage, the Avengers and the crowd behind them were also in a bitter battle at the moment. They occupied the high ground, but they didn't have much advantage in the face of the black monsters swarming from the audience. Natasha kept firing three or five consecutive shots. To hit those fragile monsters in a row, Thor and Steve could only rely on hand-to-hand combat. They stood at the forefront, and a group of ordinary people behind them.

Steve firmly grasped the insect-like limbs protruding from the rags and black mist, and smashed the monster to the ground. There was a gap in its oval head, which was its mouth. , the monster let out a sharp hiss, but the next moment, his head was smashed with a punch, and it completely turned into black mist and dispersed.

"Ten seconds left!"

He heard Natasha yell loudly, smashing the head of a monster with a backhanded pistol.

With the countdown, from far to near, the black mist monsters that filled the theater let out a shrill neigh of unwillingness, and then quickly disappeared one after another.

Panting, Thor crushed the monster under his feet, and heaved a sigh of relief looking at the gradually rising arc of light around him.

They're back in the 'crack' again.

When is it a head?Thor gritted his teeth, and his Mjolnir was also left on the other side, unable to sense his call at all.

The black mist monsters wrapped in rags gradually dissipated, and he suddenly heard an anxious cry: "Thor!!"

The three Avengers on the stage suddenly looked up and saw four blurred figures on the aisle in the middle of the auditorium.

A shadowy girl with blond hair shouted loudly, stepped on the back of the seat and jumped over, as she approached, her face became clear, it was Dolores!

She held out her hands to them, as if to grab them.

Separated by a few rows of audience seats, their figures are slowly disappearing from each other.

Dolores was horrified to see a circle of flowing and twisted silver lines on the ground, which quickly overflowed the stage, drowning and swallowing the three Avengers on the stage from head to toe, and disappeared into the air like waves.

The three of them looked at themselves, and Steve opened his mouth anxiously as if to say something, but soon he couldn't even hear the sound, and was swept away by the arc of light within a few seconds.

"Dolly!" Natasha's voice seemed to come through a wall.

She stepped back quickly, raised the hand holding the gun to look at her, and then at Dr. Banner behind her. A drop of sweat rolled off her face in embarrassment, but she stared at them closely, her eyes flickering With a strange light, he suddenly fired a shot towards the ground.

"boom--"

As the aftermath of the gunfire echoed in the empty theater, everyone on the stage disappeared instantly.
