Chapter 33: A date after seventy years (the end of this volume)
A nursing home for the elderly in the suburbs of New York
Captain America Steve. Rogers' girlfriend, Paige. Carter, lying quietly on the hospital bed, with a respirator plugged into his nose.
She has not left here for a long time, and she may lie here until the moment she enters the grave.
Because she is ninety-five years old this year. Not only is her appearance aging, she has difficulty moving, she is bedridden, she also suffers from severe amnesia.
To put it simply, her mind has become confused, her thinking is no longer clear, and she often cannot distinguish between memories and reality.
So, on the day when she reunited with Captain America after seventy years, Paige... Carter felt as if he was living in a dream.
People say that old people sometimes only see the past, not the present.
People say that if you're older than most people, you sometimes see ghosts instead of living people.
So, ninety-five-year-old Paige. Carter can't help but forget the fact that Steve is still alive, thinking that he is a ghost.
After all, she has lived for almost a century and experienced too many things. She should have reached the age where she can see ghosts.
At Paige. In Carter's mind, ghosts did visit her, sometimes in the morning and sometimes at night. Sometimes she remembered who they were, sometimes she didn't. It could be a colleague, a lover, a friend, an enemy, anyone she has ever met in the more than ninety years she has lived.
She chatted happily with them and mentioned all kinds of wonderful past events. Even the sworn enemies became much kinder after becoming ghosts.
But the more they visit, Paige. Carter's reality became fainter, and there were more and more gaps in his memory. Because she was too old, pulling those memories out of her heart was like pulling away long threads from flesh and bones, making her feel that her soul was becoming more and more chaotic.
Many times, she no longer knows what night it is, and sometimes, she even regards ghosts as living people.
Therefore, when she sees the living Steve, she still can't help but think of him as a ghost.
After all, in her knowledge, the man she once loved had died in the war seventy years ago.
Then, after his death, he became a materialized belief, a great historical symbol, and an iconic leader who represented the American spirit.
It was by accepting this fact that she lived a long life, outlasting all her friends and enemies.
In the messy memories of the past, Steve's ghost had visited her bedside countless times, making her seem to have returned to that bloody war era, with countless exciting and wonderful secrets, and... In order to stop the enemy's plan, he crashed the plane into the ice sea and the sad farewell...
But now, the living Steve is sitting next to her bed again. He is as young as he was seventy years ago, and even more handsome than the man in her memory. His eyes are as bright as if there is a star hidden in his chest. .
He said he was still alive and that he was fished out of the sea of ice by S.H.I.E.L.D. seventy years later. But he lost too much and sacrificed too much.
Paige. The remaining rationality in Carter's mind found it difficult to accept this reality, but he was so alive in front of him, even his hands were warm.
He grabbed her hand and told her again and again that he was indeed still alive. He told her that he would not abandon her. How could he abandon her? She is his beauty, and she still owes him a dance that has not yet been completed. He looked at her and smiled, that smile was just as honest as it was seventy years ago, and it couldn't even hide her sadness. She knew from this that he was indeed real and alive. However, when she wakes up from the dream and he leaves, she looks at the ceiling and thinks that she has seen a ghost again. Until the next time he comes to visit, he convinces her again that he is still alive, really alive, and has returned again.
How stupid! She said to herself that it was shameful that she was still crying like a little girl at such an old age!
She told herself countless times that the next time Steve came to see her, she would remember that he was still alive and well.
But her aging mind could never remember it. The ruins in her mind collapsed with every touch, and time and history gradually became entangled. In her mind, sometimes Steve is dead, sometimes Steve is alive, sometimes it seems significant, and sometimes it seems insignificant, because neither one is the answer to happiness. Later, she was completely confused. When Steve came to visit again, she felt as if she was talking to a dead person, and then she remembered that, yes, she was indeed talking to a dead person. He leaned against the head of the bed and listened, because her body was weak and her voice was low. To others who saw him, they would have thought that he was like the angel of death spreading his wings and leaning over her.
Then she held out her hand tremblingly, and he took it. His hand was still warm and firmer than she remembered. Then, to Steve's stunned eyes, ninety-five-year-old Paige. Carter said calmly: "...You're a ghost, aren't you, Steve?"
Captain America suddenly became flustered, and once again, Steve tried in vain to explain to her that he was not a ghost, but a living person. He is not dead, he is back, waiting to fulfill the date he failed to fulfill seventy years ago and dance with her again. But she won't be fooled again.
"...No, you are already dead. In my heart and in this world, you have been dead for seventy years." She said, "...I owe you that dance and I can't pay it back, and you should let it go." I left. If not, I would have let myself down. Although there are regrets in this life, it is all over.”
Then she saw Steve's head drop, her handsome, ageless lover's shoulders shaking. Why do people sometimes fail to distinguish between sadness and joy in their hearts, and why farewell and reunion can be entangled together. She knew why he cried, but she had no idea at all.
She didn't know when he let go. In short, when the wind opened the curtains again and the sunlight came in, when she opened her eyes again, the room had become empty.
Paige. Two lines of tears flowed from the corners of Carter's eyes. She felt that she would probably never see a ghost again.
However, she guessed wrong.
Another morning, she opened her eyes and felt the air was clean and warm, and her mind was clearer than ever.
Is this a sign of something good to come?
She turned her head and saw her Steve sitting beside the bed under the sun, watching her silently, still wearing his honest smile and holding two tickets in his hand, "...Pei Ji, come dance with me! Tonight at the Stork Club at six o'clock."
She smiled bitterly, raised her hand to hold the other person's hand, and then told Steve in front of her that her body was already like a rotten tree. Let alone dancing, it was almost impossible to even stand up and move around. But then, she was surprised to find that her hands and feet seemed to be much more flexible.
Next moment, Paige. Carter jumped off the hospital bed with astonishing agility, and then saw a full-length mirror already placed in front of the bed.
In this mirror, she found that she seemed to have been cast by the magic of time. The wrinkles and age spots on her face had all disappeared without a trace. Her skin was as smooth and delicate as silk, glowing with a delicate luster like pearls... Every part of her body seemed to be glowing. Restored to the best years of youth!
Is this true? She was so surprised that she couldn't help but touch herself in the mirror and Steve standing next to her.
The heroic female agent Carter from seventy years ago and her forever young lover Captain America are back together.
And Steve was still saying to her affectionately, "...Peggy, you should be able to repay the dance you owe me today!"
——Seventy years later, time goes back, dreams are revisited, and miracles come...
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
In the retro-style high-end club, under the slightly dim incandescent lights, a black band played hard and soothing blues saxophone. Men and women wearing suits and gorgeous long skirts were dancing in pairs on the oak floor dance floor. Ballroom dancing.
In the center of the dance floor, a pair of dancing beauties occupied almost all the attention: the man was tall and handsome with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and the woman was pretty and elegant. They were a perfect couple made in heaven.
Although the man in this pair of dance partners is obviously not very good at dancing, and although the music played at this time is relatively easy and soothing dance music, he often dances wrongly or steps on his feet. However, the bright eyes of the man and woman are burning in the eyes. The fire of love in her heart has not dimmed at all.
Many people around took out their mobile phones or electronic cameras to take pictures of the dance of the man and woman. Several of the older men and women took out old yellowed and faded pictures of Captain America from somewhere, with a look of nostalgia in their eyes.
[...realizing Captain America Steve. The prom agreement between Rogers and female agent Carter, which took place after seventy years, received two thousand bonus points. 】
[...The current total points are 100,500 points, which has met the criteria for both people to escape from the infinite space]
Next to the bar in the club, Iron Man Tony is dressed in a suit and tie. Stark, holding a cocktail, was also watching Captain America and Peggy. Carter danced, but he still kept his venomous words, "...ah, reliving the mandarin dream after seventy years... is like a scene from a nostalgic urban romance novel... Unfortunately, although emergency training has been carried out, The captain's dance moves are still very unfamiliar. He is really an old antique who doesn't understand the style..."
Tony muttered, and at the same time turned to look at Wang Qiu and others who were sitting aside, drinking juice, "...Thank you very much for your help, alien boys. Without you, we really don't know how to realize Captain America's mission." Wish.”
"...You're welcome, it's just a little effort. Besides, the thank you gift you gave me afterwards was generous enough."
Wang Qiu shook the grape juice in the cup and replied, "...However, although [Time Baggage Skin] can temporarily restore Miss Carter's youthful body and appearance, it cannot extend her life. And based on her age, Look, I guess I can only stay on earth for two or three years.”
"...It is extremely happy to be able to stay with the one you love, even if it is only for two or three days, let alone two or three years!"
Black Widow Natasha, who was also drinking a cocktail, suddenly interjected, with endless vicissitudes in her eyes. But in the next moment, she hid her emotions and stretched out her hand to Tony, "...Mr. Stark, are you interested in dancing with me?"
"...It's my pleasure, ma'am." Tony smiled and took Natasha's arm, then looked down at the young version of Wang Qiu and others, "...then, are you also interested in going down to play together? No. It doesn’t matter if you can dance, I can introduce you to some good dance partners!”
"...Well, let's forget it!" Wang Qiu quickly waved his hand and refused, "...Things are almost done, it's time for us to go back."
"...Really?" Tony shrugged, "...Then let's go! Natasha, don't disturb these good children who have been called home for dinner by their mother!"
"... Damn it! We are not good kids!" Wang Qiu protested, waving his fists.
In short, Iron Man Tony and Black Widow Natasha went directly to dance with Captain America and the others. Then, Wang Qiu and the other four people put down their drink cups, turned around and walked out of the club, found an empty corner of the park, and spent [time] Furoshiki] returned to his original age and appearance. Then, Wang Qiu took out the "Book of Time Travel" from his arms and prepared to exchange points for the two survivors and his own rescuers to escape from this world.
Although Wang Qiu is very clear that behind people like him, there must be people from S.H.I.E.L.D. or other American intelligence agencies monitoring and tracking them, and I am afraid that they have discovered the abnormality of their changing appearance at this time, but now Son, everything doesn't matter anymore.
Because, with a dazzling colorful flash, Wang Qiu and others all left this crisis-ridden Marvel world forever.
Then, Wang Qiu, who had been thirsty for a long time, found Marikawa Shizuka and Nan Lixiang as quickly as possible, and used his own actions to prove that he was not a good boy...
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
In the dim room, the white body trembled slightly, filled with the fragrance of female body. The body dripping with sweat made a "slapping" sound when it collided. Her back arched like a female leopard, and droplets of turbid sweat slowly fell down.
"...Oh...ah..."
The mature woman's moans of pleasure vibrated in the air, her delicate jade hands clenched and relaxed, and her smooth back bowed like a cat.
"...Well...uh...I haven't done it for a long time...sure...it hurts a bit."
The gasping from his throat tickled his ears, and his already hot body became even more sensitive, rising and falling in unison with the other person's movements.
"...here...as expected...ah..."
"...harder...harder..."
"...Ah...!!"
With a fierce cry, the exquisite silk sheets slipped from the slender shoulders, leaving the fragrant shoulders and back of the white body exposed in the air. The moistened skin reflected the bedside lamp, reflecting an intoxicating pink blush. ...After a while, the naked Marikawa Shizuka gradually recovered from her passion, turned around and looked at Wang Qiu's face with bright eyes, and muttered vaguely:
"...Hey, Xiao Qiuqiu! Tell us about what happened to you in the Marvel world! Really, you won't take us to such an interesting place!"
"...Haha, we are going on an adventure and performing a mission, not having fun! Sister Shizuka! Several people died at the beginning!"
Caressing Marikawa Shizuka's back, the slightly trembling smooth touch came from her fingertips, and the corners of Wang Qiu's mouth raised slightly. According to a professional book on picking up girls, putting on a mature smile at this time should be the best way to increase the woman's favorability.
Unfortunately, before Shizuka Marikawa, whose bust size was off the charts, could react, Wang Qiu received a slap on the butt from Minami Rika.
"... Shizuka-chan asked you to tell me, so just tell me! Why do you have anything to do with us?"
——Well, there are three people on the bed now. It’s already pretty good without turning into a Shura field. It’s just a fantasy to increase the favorability level.
"...Okay! Let me tell you, there are some of the most famous magic weapons in the Marvel world. One is the Hunyuan Diamond Shield, which is currently held by the warriors of the United States. The other is the Sky-Through Sea Armor, which is now held by Stark. The third one is worn by the Immortal in Golden Armor, and the third one is Lei Zhenzi. The Thunderbolt Hammer of the Universe in Thor's hand...the last thing is the Hopeless Water of the Abyss, also known as ether particles. This magic weapon was born in the ghost house of the underworld, and somehow fell into the hands of the old dark demon Malekith..."< br>
Then, Wang Qiu's buttocks were slapped harder by Nan Lixiang, causing him to cry out in pain.
"...Stop playing nonsense to me! The Marvel commentary you just made up is not interesting at all! Just speak to me normally!"
Therefore, Wang Qiu had no choice but to stop being glib and tell the story of this adventure in the Marvel world.
"...Well, in short, although you were unlucky to accidentally enter the battlefield and four people died, in the end you successfully completed the mission, obtained the physical objects and technology of the Palladium Metal Ark Reactor, and received commendations and awards from the government. Promote..."
Nan Lixiang, who was naked with wheat-colored skin, stretched and said this, then sat up from the bed, letting her plump and elastic breasts sway with dizzying waves, "...but what will happen next?" Was Beidaihe sent to such an isolated island in the South China Sea? ”
While speaking and questioning, she stretched out her hand and opened the curtains with a swipe, letting the blazing sunshine and the refreshing sea breeze flow into the room.
——In front of you is an endless tropical seascape, with blue sky, blue sea, snow-white coral sand, and sparse coconut trees.
At first glance, people may mistakenly think that they have arrived at some tropical beach resort, but if you look carefully, you will be surprised to find that not only are there few people here, but there are also endless seas on all sides, with only the foot of the foot. Such a small piece of land.
At this moment, Wang Qiu and his friends were on an island in the Xisha Islands, nearly a thousand kilometers away from the nearest city.
Although the accommodation arranged for them was luxurious and the daily necessities stored were sufficient, they were driven to a desolate place far away from human habitation after all.
"...But there is nothing we can do about it! During this rescue mission, several survivors trapped in the infinite space died. No one can say what kind of backlash disaster will be caused next. No, that’s why we were asked to move as far away from the city as possible..."
Wang Qiu sighed helplessly, "...Because there are too many secrets involved, and for the sake of safety, it is inconvenient for those of us to go abroad, so we can only try to find an uninhabited land in China. Compared with places like the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Gobi Desert, Come on, the conditions on the Xisha Islands are pretty good! To give a similar example, I don’t know how many people would rather spend a lot of money to go to places like the Maldives or Saipan!”
"...That's what I said..." Nan Lixiang curled her lips and wiped the sweat on her body with a towel, "...but this place is really too hot! There are a lot of bugs, and it's too desolate. It seemed like it was A scientific research base, right? When you open the window, you can see nothing but the sea, and there is no mobile phone signal. You can't even go online to relieve your boredom! It's quite enjoyable to stay here for a few days, but if you stay here permanently, it will be a hell... even if you are locked up in an apartment building in a big city to do "Forbidden Room Training" "Desire" is better than staying here and playing "Wandering on an Uninhabited Island"
"...Don't worry about this." Wang Qiu patted his chest confidently and said, "...We will go on the next exploration mission in two days. The story world we are going to this time is "Pride and Prejudice", and there is basically no danger. , I can take you over there to England to cool off.”
"..."Pride and Prejudice"? I know this! Jane Austen, the British female writer at the end of the 18th century, is the most famous romance novel?"
Hearing this, Marikawa Shizuka's eyes also lit up, "...But, how can there be such a peaceful plot world in infinite space?"
"...How do I know this? Anyway, wait until two days later, everything is ready, and we will know it when we go there together to see it." Wang Qiu rubbed his eyes, "...As for now, Sister Jingxiang, just let Let’s do it again!” After saying that, he jumped forward with a wicked smile.
"...Yeah!" Marikawa Shizuka, who was pressed down by Wang Qiu again, once again made a beautiful voice. And Nan Lixiang also came forward with a wry smile, pressing the three bodies tightly together, their smooth skin rubbing together, as if they were merging into one with passion and desire...
However, life is always composed of countless accidents and mutations, and Wang Qiu, as always, cannot keep up with the changes. In his heart, he planned to take the woman on a vacation in the plot world of "Pride and Prejudice", and experience the authentic classical British countryside scenery, but in the end, he fully experienced a experience like "Warm Bodies" A horrifying atmosphere, and he was forced to give up what little moral integrity he had left...
