Earth 199999 (the Marvel Cinematic Universe), 2008, USA, New York City, Manhattan Island, Clinton District. (The Clinton District is often colloquially known as "Hell's Kitchen.")
On a commercial street near Clinton Park, a 18-year-old Asian boy hurried into the alley, took out a bunch of keys from his coat pocket, and opened the back door of a small shop.
This ordinary-looking Asian teenager has a golden tattoo on the back of his right hand. The tattoo pattern is five five-pointed stars, one big, four small, exactly the same as the five-star red flag of Huaguo.
After entering the store, the Asian boy, who was suspected to be Chinese, quickly locked the back door, turned around impatiently, and went straight to the basement of the store.
A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of the book chasing artifact, the source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp.org
After the boy locked the door again, he quickly walked to the center of the basement, took off his backpack, and took out six crystal balls the size of an apple from the bag, and put them on the floor one by one. The cautious posture is as if these crystal balls are related to his wealth and life.
Looking carefully, these six colorless and transparent crystal balls are all the same size, but they are different. There are different numbers of golden five-pointed stars inside, ranging from one star to seven stars, and only five stars are missing.
After placing the crystal ball, the boy opened his arms with excitement and shouted, "Appear! Shenlong! Let my wish come true!"
A cool breeze blows and nothing happens... (don't bother with details like the basement doesn't have any wind!)
After being dazed for a while, the young man slapped his forehead suddenly, squatted down, put the right hand with the five-star tattoo and six crystal balls together, and shouted again: "Come out! ! Shenlong! Let my wish come true!"
This time, before he could finish his sentence, the electric light above his head suddenly flickered on and off. After a few flickers, it finally went out completely, and the entire basement was plunged into darkness.
The next moment, in the darkness where you couldn't see your fingers, seven blazing lights suddenly lit up from the floor. I saw that the six crystal balls with different numbers of stars and the five-star tattoo on the back of the boy's hand lit up at the same time. It glowed and turned into seven dazzling light spheres. Immediately afterwards, these seven light spheres soared into the sky, and merged into one in the blink of an eye, forming a snake-like beast that was shining all over.
The luminous beast looks vivid, with a body like a snake, antlers like a deer, scales like a fish, claws like a phoenix, and palms like a tiger. It is the totem beast of Hua Kingdom—the dragon!
"so small… "
The young man curled his lips. Facing the legendary beast, he said to himself in distaste, "It's only a few meters long? In the 'Dragon Ball' animation, the 'Shenlong' is at the level of a planet..."
Shenlong ignored the young man's muttering, and hovered in mid-air with his body crossed, raised his majestic head high, and said in a mechanical tone, "Tell me your wish, any wish can come true, but only There is a…”
The young man lifted his spirits and asked hopefully, "Can any wish really come true?"
Shenlong: "Of course."
"Very good!"
The boy clenched his fists hard, and with an excited expression on his face, he said amazingly: "Shenlong, please send me back to my original world!"
Shenlong: "I'm sorry, it can't be done..."
The young man was dumbfounded, and it took him a long time to recover from the petrified state, and he swears angrily: "Fuck! Then what are you bragging about?! Isn't any wish come true?"
Shenlong: "Your body belongs to the Marvel world, I can't send it away, but if you only send back your soul, it can be done."
Hearing this, the young man raised his eyebrows, regained his energy, and made another wish: "Then, please send my soul back to my original body!"
Shenlong: "I'm sorry, it can't be done..."
"..."
The young man suppressed his vigorous anger, and squeezed out three words from between his teeth: "Why?"
Shenlong: "In the original world, you were already dead..."
The young man retorted unconvinced: "So what, isn't resurrection your forte? There are no dead people in the world of Dragon Ball!"
Shenlong: "However, you are not from the Dragon Ball world. Only under the cosmic rules of the Dragon Ball world can I bring people back from the dead."
"..."
The young man was silent for a long time, and he still did not give up and asked: "So, if you just send my soul back, can I occupy a dying body like when I came to the Marvel world?"
Shenlong: "No, your soul has already merged with the 'Five-Star Dragon Ball'. If you want to send it back to your original world, you must separate it by force. This will cause great harm to your soul, and the damaged It is impossible for the soul to occupy any body, it will only fade away with the passage of time."
"..."
The young man was completely desperate. With a "bang", he knelt down on his knees and muttered to himself in a broken state, "I can't go back... I really can't go back forever..."
"Dad! Mom! My son is not filial!"
The young man was crying loudly. His original name was Gu Run. Not only was he not from this world, even whether it was the Marvel world or the Dragon Ball world, for him, they all came from the fictional world of film and television and animation. One day, he will bring the seven dragon balls in the Dragon Ball world, and come to the Marvel world as a soul.
Gu Run, who was originally born and raised in China, crossed the ocean directly after traveling to the world of Marvel, and came to the capitalistic base camp of all evils. Fortunately, the body occupied by the soul is still a Chinese, although it was not very good at first. But after getting part of the memory of the dying original owner, he quickly adapted to the new identity—because Saint Lee, a second-generation Chinese, lost both his parents in an air crash and left him a house in New York. Small Chinese restaurant.
Gu Run, or because of Saint Lee, thought he was still in the original world after his soul transmigration at the beginning, but traveled back to ten years ago, until he saw a promotional video of "Captain America", and A piece of "Tony Stark" lace news, he was horrified to find that here, it turned out to be a Marvel Universe where heroes are everywhere and villains are as many as dogs!
Living in the United States in the Marvel world is dangerous enough in itself, so you can't die, because Saint's home is still in New York! New York! ! !
How many tragedies have happened in New York just because of the Marvel plot that Saint knows? Iron Man vs. Iron Man, Hulk vs. Abomination, Captain America vs. Winter Soldier, S.H.I.E.L.D. vs. Hydra, Avengers vs. Aliens, Defenders vs. The Hand... the list goes on and on! ! !
