Chapter 1400 The Call of the Stars (Twenty-Six)
Just when Quill was still immersed in his own thoughts, Rocket Raccoon suddenly turned his head to the side of the road and let out a scream.
"What's that?"
He asked, but before Quill could answer, he jumped off Quill's shoulders and ran to the other side of the street. Quill had to interrupt his thoughts to chase him, because he was the only one left now. Animals are great companions.
But after crossing the car and running to the other side of the street, Quayle gradually stopped in surprise. He saw a little girl next to a street tree on the street near New York's Central Park - blond hair, brown eyes, not very beautiful, but for her age. little girls are always cute.
"Oh my God, a living person!" Rocket turned to look at Quill, but pointed at the little girl and said, "Survivor!"
It felt so good to see the same kind of people here. Quil swallowed and tried hard to suppress his urge to rush over, because this scene was very strange. He didn't think that such a weak little girl could survive such a disaster. Survive it.
He hurriedly grabbed Rocket Raccoon's tail, threw him onto his shoulders again, and then slowly walked towards the little girl. When he got closer, the little girl noticed him, but she showed a doubt. expression, followed by horror.
The little girl took a few steps back, as if she wanted to escape. He found that she seemed to have some remaining consciousness, and Quil couldn't care anymore. He rushed over and grabbed the little girl's shoulders. The little girl began to struggle desperately, and just then The moment she turned around, Quill let go of his hand in fear.
The little girl has two clusters of tentacles growing from her back.
Just below her shoulder blades, two wing-like tentacles grew on both sides of her spine. However, for some unknown reason, they seemed not to be fully developed. The number of tentacles was very small, and they did not move, nor did they move. That disgusting slime.
The quiet tentacles didn't look much better, they were still as disgusting, but Quill had gradually adapted to it. The little girl seemed to have no language skills and just screamed in horror, trying to break free from Quill's grasp.
Quill saw his own figure reflected in her innocent childlike hole, but it was full of panic. The little girl's struggling movements became more and more violent. Quill cursed in a low voice, and then said: "She may be affected by It's exciting... Rocket, help me, we have to calm her down, forget it!"
Finding that his animal companion was too small to help at all, Quill remembered that he had just evolved another hand. He had been holding the little girl with the hand that still existed.
But when the invisible hand suddenly touched the little girl's shoulder, some kind of connection that was not a human communication method was established, and Quill saw some pictures rushing into his mind.
This is a quite novel communication experience, very scary, but it seems to be natural, just like speaking and listening, it is like his innate instinct.
Quill shook his head and let go of his hand, but the little girl stopped running. She stared at Quill with big eyes, full of doubts.
"She seems to want to talk to you." Rocket Raccoon poked Quill's cheek, then turned to look at the little girl and said, "I'm afraid it's not the kind of communication we usually use."
Quill took a deep breath and became more awake. He stretched out his non-existent hand again and put it firmly on the little girl's shoulder.
Memories came like a flood, but not every time this sentence appeared, behind the tide were good times, Quill thought, but he tasted a hint of warmth from those terrible scenes.
Jennifer Mavey, that's what the little girl thought she was called, and then one day, half of her dad's body turned into a tumor and her mom had tentacles sticking out of her head and waist.
Jennifer thought she was crazy, even though she was crazy to begin with. When she was about 5 years old, she was diagnosed with childhood depression and suffered from a very rare form of insomnia.
She can only sleep about 4 hours a day, and she sleeps separately. She can only sleep lightly for less than an hour at a time. It is not so much sleep as a hazy nap with her eyes closed.
The doctor said that this may be related to damage to a certain area of her brain, but this disease brought her great pain. She would be sleepy and tired, but could not sleep. The disease not only tortured Jennifer, but also tortured her. looking at her parents.
Jennifer finally went crazy, she thought to herself. Although she was not old, she already had the ability to think independently. Therefore, when she saw that the image of her parents was exactly the same as that of her neighbors, she felt that they should be I'm crazy, after all, I had a warning.
Jennifer's messy thoughts filled Quill's mind. He really wanted to open the little girl's head and tell her "you are wrong," but he felt that this fact was too cruel.
Jennifer accepted the madness of the world at an unimaginable speed, and came to terms with the fact that her parents kept her at home because she felt that seeing more monsters on the streets would only make her crazier.
But her parents still loved her very much. Every Monday afternoon, when everyone went to work, they would let her go to the yard to bask in the sun.
When the memory came to this point, Quill saw a familiar figure. This figure usually appeared in interstellar traffic accidents. He was sitting in Yondu's pirate ship, looking out of the porthole, using a special telescope to observe a certain demon. When being beaten violently.
"Supreme Mage Ancient One." Quill read her name, and there was a tremor in his tone. The fact that Ancient One might be on the same planet as him was even more important than him staying here with thousands of monsters. It made him feel scared. He had seen too many demon gods beaten to pieces.

Quil saw that Ancient One stopped in front of Jennifer, his expression seemed to be very confused, but when Jennifer's parents turned into monsters and rushed out of the door, Ancient One hesitated, flew over and picked up Jennifer. Jennifer then turned and walked away, while Jennifer's parents yelled and waved their tentacles from behind.
Following Jennifer's vision, Quill saw that Ancient One carried Jennifer to a temple above New York's Central Park. It might have been a base she created out of thin air. The Supreme Mage certainly had such an ability.
Jennifer kept crying, but at the same time she was curious about the Ancient One. Quil could feel her doubts - if I was crazy, why didn't the person in front of me become a monster in my eyes?
Jennifer asked Gu Yi, but when Quil saw Gu Yi's expression, he knew that the two of them wanted to go together. Sometimes, ignorance is a kind of happiness. The truth is too cruel, and even adults may not be able to It’s acceptable, let alone such a young child.
The Ancient One hugged Jennifer and told her that he could take her to a new world, where there were many children about her age who were learning magic in a place called Kama Taj.
No child of this age could resist the temptation of the magic school. As expected, Jennifer's attention was attracted and she began to constantly ask Ancient One about Kama Taj.
Ancient One prepared food and hot water for Jennifer. Jennifer ate a little, but felt very uneasy.
Quill could feel that she seemed to be missing her parents, but her intelligence was actually enough for her to tell that what was going on now was probably not what she thought before, so Jennifer didn't cry, but was quiet and quiet. Stuttering.
After they were full of wine and food, Gu Yi wanted to coax Jennifer to sleep, but Jennifer babbled and said a lot of messy medical terms to her.

But the little girl actually couldn't remember the complicated names of pathologies and drugs. Quil could feel that Jennifer's purpose was to tell Gu Yi that she was sick, but Gu Yi obviously didn't understand.
Quill found himself thinking about Gu Yi again. Gu Yi thought that Jennifer's weird behavior was actually because she was frightened, so he thought that she should have a good sleep.
Quil saw from Jennifer's field of vision that Ancient One was holding her in his arms, with a dim light shining on one of his hands. Quil recognized that it should be a concentration spell.
He has also dealt with some non-god magical creatures before. Because they do not have the unique abilities of the gods, most of the magical powers of these creatures are borrowed, and there must be a price to bear these powers, so they need some concentration and tranquility. Qi spells to shield yourself from pain so you can sleep well.
Quill guessed that Ancient One might also have cast a small spell. It seemed that this was not the first time she had done this. Based on Ancient One's previous description of Kama Taj's situation, Quill deduced that the Supreme Mage might often use this spell. One trick for dealing with those energetic calves who don't go to bed on time.
With the brilliance of dreams, Jennifer finally fell into a deep sleep. This may be the longest sleep she has ever had. Quill estimated that it may be more than 8 hours.
Then disaster struck.
A terrible attack befalls Jennifer. The longer she stays in this world, the more terrifying the attack will be. Jennifer has never been attacked head-on due to her special insomnia, but this does not mean that the power of the attack has not been accumulated. .
Ancient One's wrong move put Jennifer into great danger. The little girl's body and mind were too fragile. Facing the sudden and terrible attack, she was already facing death without even a chance of mutation.
Quil saw Jennifer's hazy vision trembling violently. She was probably twitching all over and foaming at the mouth. Gu Yi's slightly panicked face appeared in Jennifer's peripheral vision. Judging from her eyes, she might be afraid Already know what happened.
But Ancient One calmed down at a speed that Quil could not imagine. He only hesitated for a moment before reaching out a hand to touch Jennifer's eyebrows.
"No!
! " Quill yelled in his heart.
And the worst thing happened. The power of the attack was transmitted to Gu Yi along Jennifer's thoughts. The terrifying waves crashed on the high wall, and the extremely terrifying madness infected the wall that was always as solid as a rock. There was an undetectable crack in the high wall.
Huge power that Quill had never seen before, or even unimaginable, poured out from the cracks.
New York, America, the whole planet.
All the monsters disappeared.
"...terrible emp." Quill whispered.
In Jennifer's last vision, the little girl saw the deep guilt on Gu Yi's face. Even though she took on most of the attacks on Jennifer's behalf, the initial wave of attacks still left Jennifer contaminated. With the tentacles out, Gu Yi couldn't save her.
Quill sighed deeply. After he told Rocket Raccoon this story, Rocket Raccoon asked him: "Then why did Ancient One leave Jennifer here? Isn't she afraid that she will be in danger?"
"Bringing her with you is the real danger." Quill frowned, took Jennifer's hand and said, "When Ancient One sees her, the cracks in his heart will only get bigger and bigger. If she loses control, It’s all over.”
Quill shuddered. He had just clearly seen that the power leaking out of the cracks was probably only one ten millionth, but only a trace of that kind of power that had been compressed to the essence could destroy a planet. All living things.
"And I estimate that Ancient One didn't just throw her out randomly, he probably threw Jennifer to us on purpose."
Quill held Jennifer's hand with the hand that didn't exist, and tried to use the newly acquired power to transmit information to her brain. It seemed that people who had undergone mutations could only communicate in this way, not as before. Open your mouth and speak.
"Wait!" Quill suddenly said, and a thought suddenly came to Jennifer. Quill thought about it carefully, and then subconsciously said: "Jennifer has experienced an extremely terrible attack, but she is not completely crazy, and she can still Communicate with people.”
"She told me that most of the madness that invaded her was borne by Ancient One, and she took this opportunity to see...part of the truth behind the mad attack."
