Carl opened his eyes, and his body returned to its place one by one. He realized that he was no longer leaning against the wall with his chin in his hands, but was being carried on his back, and the person carrying him was going up the stairs , The pace is very slow, and the walking is very steady, which only makes Carl feel a small vibration.

The most important thing is... the back is generous and warm, which made Karl calm down from the tense state in a short time. He cleared his hoarse throat and signaled: "... Steve?"

——Don't look at the familiar blond hair, just look at this broad and perfect back, and Carl knows that this person is definitely Steve.No one has a more perfect body than him.

"Dad?" Steve turned his face to explain, "Are you awake? The party is over, I don't think you are awake yet, so I want to send you back to the room."

As he spoke, he put Carl down, and Carl looked back into the small living room.

Sure enough, when he was immersed in that other world, night fell, the Avengers had already left, the lights in the small living room were also turned off, and it became deserted, leaving only the remnants of a celebration. Slowly sweep with a broom.

"Really? It's been so long." Carl silently opened the system page and glanced again. Using the Marvel World Temporary Card will show the time of departure, and they are still more than an hour away from returning to reality.

"Go back to the room, we will go back after a short rest." Carl said simply, lowering his eyes tiredly, and took the lead to go upstairs.

He knows that he is just an ordinary person, and he has become more and more extraordinary since he came to this world, but being in the camp of the ultimate villain and acting in front of a bunch of enemies is still too much pressure for Karl up.Just now he tensed up all his energy to do those things, and now that he returned to a safe place, he suddenly relaxed. Carl, who was still in fear, lost his strength. It was like a mountain was pressing on his heart. He was so tired that he just wanted to fall asleep immediately and recover his energy. .

"Are you done with your business?" Steve asked worriedly, he quickly caught up with Carl with big strides, observing Carl's expression with his blue eyes.

"It's done, don't worry, Steve, I'm just tired." Carl showed a relieved expression, and replied relaxedly, "I'm very happy, but I have to sleep before I do this."

Steve's expression settled down, he pursed his lips and nodded slightly, and returned to his usual calm and reliable appearance.The blond man led Carl to the 'second floor' on the stairs. It's not appropriate to say so on a tall building, but the 'second floor' on this floor as the base of the Avengers is indeed a bedroom for them.

Carl watched Steve enter the next room, and he couldn't wait to close the door and fell on the bed. Although his limbs were exhausted due to emotion, and he was still sweating slightly, the trembling caused by the previous fear and tension had not faded away, making his hands and feet tremble. Shaking, but Karl doesn't want to take a bath at all.He was so tired that he almost fell asleep the moment he fell down, and fell into dreamland.

……

"I saw the future, which is the prophecy of the gods. Events have changed, but the future has not changed. All the hope of life has been sucked away by the vortex, and the center of the vortex is..." Sol Hailan's eyes became helpless. God, murmured suddenly.

He sat on the edge of the terrace, looking at the stars in the night sky outside, frowning as if possessed, and as if trying to find meaning from this passage, he murmured repeatedly: "...I saw the gem ...I see the gem... the center of the vortex is the Mind Stone."

In the dream, Carl looked at Sol from the perspective of God. He subconsciously felt that this passage was very important, so he repeated it: "All hope of life is sucked away by the vortex... The center of the vortex is the soul gem. The center of the vortex is The Mind Stone..."

He drifted away with the wind, and saw Loki in the castle of Asgard with a melancholy expression, quietly stroking the scepter under the moonlight.The huge blue gemstone at the top of the scepter is shining with a charming luster. No one knows that it hides one of the six most powerful gemstones in the universe, the legendary soul gemstone.

The stubble-faced man with a long face looked haggard, huddled under the blanket and making various gestures, but his trembling hands were disobedient.In the library near him, a charming green gemstone is quietly treasured in a golden pendant.

The red gem is the furthest away... The ether particles are in the hands of a collector known in the universe. He is a very collector and his strength is also very powerful, but he is not as good as the mysterious man.That's why the mysterious man could easily snatch the gem from him.

Karl knew he was in a dream, but the sense of crisis from the bottom of his heart forced him to see...he had to see if the Reality Gem was safe.

The distance is really too far...

Carl felt tired on the way. He began to feel tired and felt that this dream was too long and tiring. He just wanted to have a good sleep. Why couldn't he dream something else?

Just when Carl was thinking this, he dreamed of something else—something light and interesting.

He must be lucid dreaming.

Carl was starting to feel that way.

In the distance, a class in a school was exchanging and discussing "Steve Rogers" comics and novels. Boys and girls praised and admired Steve, and curiously discussed the story of "Saul Odinson" in the same series.

Carl looked proud and proud.

Tony locked himself in the bathroom, looking in the mirror with a weird and tangled expression, he tried to show a nonchalant expression, and struggled to make a sound: "...you can find Steve alone, and then I can too? "

"No!" Tony rubbed his curly hair frantically, and collapsed in shame, "What the hell am I talking about!"

"Daddy, I want to sleep with you."

"Carl, Peter and Steve have all been there, can't you find me when you go out?"

Tony walked back and forth anxiously in the bathroom, repeatedly revising what he wanted to say, but was still so awkward that he broke down and hugged his head: "...Calwood! Why are you raising so many children! Lao Jia, come out and help think about it!"

Carl laughed.

It turned out that Tony in the dream wanted to go out alone with him and sleep with him.What Da Tsundere wanted to say was not so straightforward, but it was too embarrassing for Tony.

Little Peter's face was red, his eyes were a little swollen, he seemed to have cried not long ago, and he was holding a piece of cake and eating it sweetly.The cheeks of those who eat are bulging, and the little face is full of happiness.The little Natasha opposite him looks much better when she eats. She didn't forget to take off the strawberries on the cake and break them into three portions to feed to the baby.

Little Stephen opened his innocent and pure eyes, stretched out his arms and screamed "Yeah", struggled to reveal most of his body from the swaddle, and tried his best to grab Peter's clothes.The little boy lowered his head, hugged his younger brother to his lap with difficulty, and kindly wanted to pick a piece of fruit from the cake for him to eat.The baby boy in Little Peter's arms suddenly shook, an arc appeared, and fell down, wet the little half of the cake...

"..." Little Peter was aggrieved and stunned.

His astonished brown eyes suddenly became moist, and slowly, the inside was filled with water vapor. Little Peter stared straight at the piece of cake, and cried out again with a sad "Wow", "My cake!!"

Karl was amused again and laughed out loud, relying on this being a dream, he laughed unscrupulously.

Although Little Peter was quite aggrieved, but this scene was too funny.Let him not coax little Peter this time in the dream.

The picture changes again, and Carl's God's perspective finally sees Steve - but he is pale, sitting distraught, and crying.

cry?

Carl's heart tightened suddenly.

What happened?

The blond man perseveredly pursed his lips, did not allow himself to make a sound, his fists were clenched white by his side, but his face was full of tears, he was crying silently, his blue eyes were silent. Covered pain and confusion.

Steve sat motionless, the atmosphere around him dead silent.

Lying on the bed in front of him was a very familiar figure, it was the lifeless Karl.

"Steve, I'm still here, don't be sad, it's not me." Carl persuaded, he didn't understand why the good dream turned into a picture he didn't like.

But for a moment, Karl's trance and misty experience along the way woke him up a lot like a thunderstorm, and he looked down at himself.The brown-haired young man was floating in the air, and there was no shadow behind him. The desk lamp next to the ceiling overlapped with the top of his hair.

——It’s not a dream to be so brisk!Did he forget?During the two months when he was a ghost, he also felt this way!

Carl woke up completely in horror.

His muddled trance didn't come from a dream, and what he saw just now probably wasn't a dream either.From the Marvel world to reality, he has no body now, but a state of soul!

He left the body unknowingly? !

Steve and he came back from the Marvel world at the same time and appeared in the bedroom. If his soul suddenly drifted away, how shocked would Steve be when he found that he was not breathing?

Carl was burning with anxiety just thinking about it.

He quickly buried his head in the body on the bed, took a sudden breath in the feeling as if he was drowning, and woke up coughing.

"...Dad?" Steve turned his head quickly when he heard the movement, and the shock and surprise on his face immediately froze.He stood up abruptly and came over, hurriedly helped Carl sit up, patted his back, and was so excited that his pale face recovered a bit of healthy rosiness, "What's wrong with you? You just—— I thought -"

Steve tried his best to suppress the agitation in his heart, but he didn't know how to explain the scene just now.

He really thought his father was dead just now.

When the time was up, he and his father returned to the bedroom, but the brunette youth still lay motionless on the bed.Steve thought he was fast asleep, but the super soldier's quadruple senses made Steve keenly discover that Dad's chest didn't rise and fall, he didn't hear his heartbeat, and his complexion was even more unnaturally pale.

Steve was so frightened that he grabbed Carl's hand, only to find that it was so cold that he lost his body temperature, and the body of the brown-haired youth was even stiff, and he almost trembled.

Steve could only think of one answer to these symptoms, and he thought of what Cole had said before:

"The souls of living people leaving their bodies must be due to something wrong with their bodies. I saw the soul of a baseball coach living nearby come out and walk around, and within a few days I heard that he died of exhaustion..."

"Steve, I heard your dad say he's running out of time..."

"I saw your father's soul again, is he really okay..."

Why did Dad die so suddenly?No, it wasn't sudden at all. It had been foreshadowed, and Cole had reminded him of it long ago, but he never really took it to heart...it was all his fault.

Regret and self-blame bit Steve's heart, and made his limbs freeze in place with cold, unable to move.He couldn't imagine how he would get out of this bedroom and tell this to everyone who didn't know anything.

"Cough cough cough...Steve, don't think about it, I'm really fine, don't be afraid if you see this situation next time, it's normal." Carl's words drew Steve's attention back.

He coughed a few times, tried to take a deep breath, and calmed down the body functions that seemed a little intense due to the sudden recovery, while quickly comforting Steve.

Because this ability itself was brought by Carl when he traveled here, he couldn't explain why, and he couldn't explain it too clearly, so he could only tactfully inoculate Steve.

In fact, Karl himself knew well that he could make his body so stiff, his head hurt like it was being pierced by a bunch of steel needles, and his chest was so stuffy that he could hardly breathe. This body really died again.If he hadn't been able to drill back, it would have come true.

But... how did the problem happen?Why did he just sleep and die physically?Isn't it good to go to bed in the Marvel world?

Carl was full of confusion. He tried to ignore his current poor physical condition and recalled trying to find an answer.

The familiar warm orange light suddenly appeared in the room, condensing into a familiar blond youth.Jarvis strode over with a serious expression, held Carl's wrist and pulled him into his arms, closing his eyes as if he was feeling something.

"Jarvis...?" Steve cut off his own words before he finished speaking in astonishment, and waited for Jarvis in doubt.The appearance of the young man is undoubtedly judging something.

Carl was aware of this, too, as Jarvis had been when he was helping Tony with his diagnosis.

"What happened to me?" He couldn't help asking.

"...I ignored it." Jarvis frowned, and looked at Carl again after a long while, his eyes were complicated and strange, "Your heartbeat is irregular, your limbs are trembling, your body is sweating, and your face is pale. But you don't have any body. sickness, so at first I thought you were just tired."

"Actually?" Carl tried hard to think back, but couldn't figure out what else could be the reason.

"Before falling asleep and now, did you feel uncomfortable? How is your mood? Any symptoms are fine, please tell me the specific situation." Jarvis did not say directly, but asked again for confirmation.

Carl hesitated for a moment.He didn't want to mention this special ability, because he didn't want the cubs to have any way of guessing that he wasn't Calwood.But Karl was really curious about what happened to him. After hesitating, he still described his feelings truthfully:

"Before I went to bed, I felt very tired, and my mood was relaxed after being frightened, because I just... experienced something, like a big stone stuck in my heart, very stressful."

"It's the same now. My chest feels tight and I can't breathe. My head hurts very much. I feel very complicated and bad, and it's hard to describe."

Carl watched Jarvis's expression become more determined and dignified, and he felt uneasy. He didn't think he was sick. After all, his physique is so strong now, how could he be sick.

"What happened to Dad?" Steve asked again, his blue eyes staring nervously at Jarvis.

"This is a psychological reason. I need to make a final confirmation." Jarvis sighed and looked at Carl, "Mr. Carl, do you feel a sense of dying or losing control?"

"...!" Karl moved his lips, speechless.

As if enlightened, the details of his return to the Marvel world began to reappear.Under the tremendous pressure, joy and fear alternated, making him a little out of breath.His legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he kept thinking about how he could arrange for the final battle.The uncontrollable sense of loss of control frightened him, but he didn't care, but forcibly suppressed it.

It was indeed the feeling of being on the verge of death, because it appeared too inexplicably, and his condition was very bad. Karl directly regarded it as his own exhaustion, and he fell asleep directly when he returned to the room.

Thinking of this, Carl knew what happened to him without Jarvis telling him.

He smiled wryly.

Who can blame this?Ordinary people can tell the difference right away, but how many times has he experienced the feeling of dying?My mind is confused, how can I tell the difference.

Karl also understood why his soul left his body suddenly.The sense of near-death, the sense of near-death, normal people just survive in fear for a period of time, but if Karl thinks he is dead in the familiar feeling...then it is possible for the soul to leave the body unconsciously...

"So what's going on?" Steve asked impatiently.
