Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 945 43. Friends

The sky in New York is quite gloomy today, maybe it will rain soon.

In a cemetery outside the city, a funeral has just concluded.

An empty wooden coffin was buried in the dug pit.

The rare Logan in a black suit silently held the shovel and covered the coffin with soil.

Beside him are the same silent blade, Coulson and Steve, Hawkeye who came back from Raccoon City.

Clark and Louise stood in the crowd.

Bruce and his son Damian, Tony Stark and Pepper Potts, who came in low-key, stood further back.

Prince T'Challa of Wakanda and his wife Ororo, King Black Bolt and Queen Medusa, Princess Crystal and Gordon, the leader of the afterlife.

Professor Charles is in a wheelchair being pushed by Mystique, and Magneto Eric in a black suit is leaning on a cane.

Namor and Arthur had serious expressions, and Vivian and Dr. Qinze beside them also looked sad.

The young man Barry Allen who came from Central City just cried. When he saw the tombstone, the eyes of this emotional young man turned red again.

Many people came to see him off.

But mourners from the White House and the World Security Council were blocked from the cemetery by the indifferent Witcher agents.

At this moment, no one wants to see them.

Among the crowd were wizards in plain clothes, executives from more than a dozen alien reservations in New York, and all the alien bosses including Midnight.

No matter what is on their minds.

But at least for this moment, their expressions were solemn.

The Supreme Grand Duchess Nisha was wearing a long black dress and a black veil on her face, silently watching the coffins being buried bit by bit.

Representatives from the European Ministry of Magic, Harry Potter, his wife, and his friend Hermione, who were wearing black round-rimmed glasses as they were more than ten years ago, stepped forward and placed the flowers in their hands in front of the tombstone.

Eric, the family representative, thanked them in a low voice.

Behind Eric, Merlin's younger siblings are all in formal attire.

Little Peter is crying, he has grown up, he knows what a tombstone represents.

Father Paul, who presided over the funeral, was reading the Bible, and the old priest's eyes were full of mourning and sadness.

The heroes of the New York League of Heroes were almost all there, and they lined up at the back of the crowd.

There was a sudden noise in the crowd, and Carol, who closed his eyes, raised his head, and saw the silent Thor walking into the cemetery accompanied by Jane Foster.

"Snapped"

Carol put her hand on Lorna's shoulder, and she shook her head at Lorna.

"Let him come over."

Carol says:

"It's not his fault, he's Merlin's friend, he shouldn't be turned away."

Everyone moved out of the way, and Thor, who was wearing a black suit, was supported by his girlfriend towards the tombstone.

The people around him looked at him unfriendly.

Although the truth has been revealed, Merlin's death has nothing to do with God King Odin, but he died in the hands of Odin after all, and this cannot be changed.

Thor walked to Merlin's tombstone under that kind of substantive gaze.

The tombstone is very simple, not even a single epitaph.

It simply wrote Merlin's name and his date of birth and death.

It's so simple that it shouldn't be the tombstone that someone like Merlin should have.

But that's what Merlin's family asked for.

They didn't want Merlin to be bothered after death.

"I'm very sorry."

Thor bowed towards the tombstone, and he said to those who stood by:

"sorry."

"You don't need to apologize."

Carol, in a black dress and veil, said:

"It has nothing to do with you, don't care about other people..."

"Merlin has always regarded you as a friend. You are an ordinary person now, Thor. Live well. If you encounter personal threats, you can contact me."

"Thank you."

Thor whispered something, and Jane beside him said thank you.

These days, her and Thor's life is not stable.

Her boyfriend wasn't a murderer, but...

Some things are unclear.

"I regret what happened to you."

After Thor returned to the crowd, the next worshipper was the executive of Alien Affairs, the dark power boss in Manhattan, Midnight.

He sincerely said to Merlin's family:

"I have known Merlin for more than ten years. He has always been my best friend. I am also very sad. If there is anything that needs help, please let me know."

"Brother wants the aliens to blend into the world."

Holding the cat, Rui Wen said with a blank face:

"He certainly doesn't want the aliens to be no longer safe after he leaves."

Father Midnight's expression changed a bit, he heard the threat, but the old fox replied with a smile:

"Don't worry, everything will be the same as before."

"That's good."

Raven nodded.

Lorna beside her said coldly:

"Mr. Midnight, please remember..."

"Ravens are everywhere."

The smile on Father Midnight froze for a moment, he said goodbye to Merlin's family, then turned and left the cemetery.

The moment he got into the car, the voodoo artist touched his neck.

I thought the chain around his neck was removed when the raven left.

but now...

After seeing Merlin's younger sisters, his neck unexpectedly turned cold.

Especially the girl who is hugging a cat and wearing round-frame glasses, who looks like a gentleman.

When Midnight looked at her, it was like seeing another Merlin...

Heck.

Her tone of voice was exactly the same as Merlin's.

In the cemetery, worship continues.

"I'm going back to Raccoon City in a while."

Coulson stood in front of Eric, stroking the black ring on his finger, and said:

"At home..."

"Don't worry at home."

Eric chuckled and said:

"Just do your own thing, I know, it's a little sudden, you feel as overwhelmed as we are, but it's okay, we still have time to adapt slowly."

"I've heard things are a little rough over there in Raccoon City, so...protect yourself, bro."

Eric's address made Coulson purse his lips. He reached out and patted Eric on the shoulder.

他 说:

"I will. Don't forget to notify me when your child is born. By the way, did the child have a name?"

"Well, get up."

Eric glanced at the tombstone in front of him, and said:

"We'll call him or her, Riley."

Behind the two, Clark reached out and touched the tombstone. He took out an invitation card and looked at Carol.

他 说:

"Louis and I are getting married, and Merlin said that we will notify him when we get married..."

"Burn it to him."

A cold voice sounded beside Clark.

Lingdie in a black dress stood in front of the tombstone, she closed her eyes and said:

"There is a custom in the East. It is said that if these invitations are burned in front of the tombstone, they will be sent to Merlin, and he will know the news."

"OK then."

Clark squatted down and placed the invitation in front of the tombstone.

Carol flicked his fingers, and a dancing flame ignited the invitation, and scattered ashes circled around the tombstone several times, as if it was Merlin's response.

"He received..."

Lingdie let out a long sigh, she looked back at Carol, she said:

"Take care of his family and contact me if needed."

"Ah."

Carol watched Lingdie leave, although she was feeling heavy now, she couldn't help shaking her head.

Another love debt caused by Merlin.

What kind of scumbag did I fall in love with?

"Merlin left one thing with me."

After Lingdie left, Natasha stepped forward, and she handed Icarus to Carol, and she said apologetically:

"I don't know if I broke it, the artificial intelligence in the glasses stopped."

"I checked with George, and he told me that Icarus's data was terribly disordered and missing, and it was beyond repair."

"But I think its meaning to you should be more important than its practicality."

"Icarus?"

Carol took the glasses. She looked at Icarus who was no different from ordinary glasses in her hands. She turned her head and looked at the children behind her.

Finally, Carol handed the glasses to little Peter with red eyes.

She said to little Peter:

"Your uncle didn't leave you anything, take it, if you miss your uncle, take it out and have a look."

"Ah."

Little Peter held the heavy glasses tightly in his arms, as if holding the most precious treasure.

The funeral went on for a long time.

In the afternoon, the funeral came to an end. Merlin's family sat on Horus and prepared to go home. Ruiwen, who was the last to leave the cemetery, looked back at Merlin's tombstone.

Her long black hair was blown up by the wind and slapped her face, making Rui Wen look quite amiable and sad.

"Riwen, wait for me."

Damian's voice sounded behind Raven, and Bruce's son ran to Raven.

This handsome young man wanted to say something to Ruiwen, but looking at Ruiwen's blank eyes, he couldn't say anything.

"My brother doesn't want the two of us together."

Ruiwen whispered to Damian:

"So let's not meet again in the future."

"I..."

Damian reached out to grab Ruiwen's wrist, but the orange cat in the girl's arms stretched out its paw and patted it on the hand.

Cuckoo's paw was very heavy, and it made Damian take several steps back.

When he came back to his senses, Rui Wen had already gotten into the car.

The car door was closed, the window was rolled up, and the family quickly left here while Horus was driving smoothly.

"Raven, you like that guy too, don't you?"

Mei stretched out her hand to hold the silent Ruiwen in her arms, stroked Ruiwen's hair, and said softly:

"Merlin has never been in charge of your affairs. You didn't reject him because of Merlin... You are also very sad, silly boy, why did you do this?"

"I can't be with him."

Raven buried her head in her sister's arms, and she said:

"I will only bring bad luck to him, my brother said he would protect me from Sangong, but my brother is gone..."

"You still have us!"

Lorna reached out to hold Ruiwen's cold hand, and the green-haired girl also reached out to hug Ruiwen and Mei tightly. She gritted her teeth and said:

"I won't let that Sangong hurt you, I will protect you, just like Merlin."

At the entrance of the cemetery, Damian stood there in a daze, standing in the cold wind, the young man who was undergoing trials was full of pain in his heart, and that sour feeling made him a little at a loss what to do.

"son..."

Bruce, who appeared from behind, put his hand on Damian's shoulder and said:

"What Ruiwen said is right, you should not meet again in the future."

"It's not just about your relationship, it's about your safety."

"Sannomiya, right?"

Damian clenched his fists, a gleam of fire flashed in the young man's black eyes, and he said:

"It's all because Sangong is obstructing it!"

The young man calmed down, he let out a sigh of relief, and turned his head to show a smile to his father.

他 说:

"Let's go home, Dad."

-------------

After everyone left the cemetery, a man in a black hood walked into the cemetery. He walked to Merlin's tombstone, and he looked at the tombstone.

Some scattered memories floated in his mind, but not chapters.

He can only stand there, like a statue.

"Are you his friend?"

A cold, pleasant voice sounded from behind the man in black.

A lady wearing a black veil and a veil, with waist-length white hair, stepped out of the space and stood beside the man.

"I think so."

Frank Castle, who was wearing a hood, answered in a daze:

"But I really don't know..."

"Oh, that sounds like it."

The Winter Goddess stretched out her finger and touched the tombstone.

She whispered:

"I'm also his friend, um, more than a friend, a lover? Or a wife...ah, I don't know."

"You must love him very much."

The silent Frank suddenly said something.

"Oh? How did you see that?"

winter goddess said:

"I don't even know how I feel about him, but the other me really loves him and is willing to give everything for him."

"Because you cried."

Frank shrugged.

The surprised Winter Goddess stretched out her hand, and sure enough, a drop of unfrozen tear was flowing down her cheek under the veil.

"Ok."

Goddess Skadi wiped the tears from her face, she turned around, looked at the snow falling from the sky, and said:

"This world is really fragile..."

"He probably doesn't want me to destroy it, so be it."

The goddess took a step forward and said:

"Then let's start from other worlds..."

She looked back at Frank standing in front of the tombstone, and said:

"You're his friend, aren't you? You're coming with me to avenge him? I just need some servants."

"I?"

Frank shook his head:

"I'm not going."

"I'm in this world, and I still have some things to do."

-------------

At this time, in front of a bank in New York, Deadpool opened the door cursingly and walked out.

His crimson tights, plus the two knives on his back, and the pistol in his waist, made anyone who saw him subconsciously dodge.

"Damn it! That bastard Merlin lied to me! He gave away all his money!"

"XXX, I gave him a free job! That bastard is dead now, and I can't afford to mess with his wife Carol who suddenly appeared... There is nowhere to go to collect debts!"

Xiao Jianjian walked out of the bank angrily, but the sudden falling snowflakes and the icy air made him sneezed violently.

He hugged his body tremblingly, shaking exaggeratedly.

"Nimma, it's so cold!"

Deadpool cursed.

He rolled his eyes, and originally planned to leave New York, but he suddenly remembered that Merlin seemed to have introduced him to another living person.

It's like saving some princess...

Well, here we are, let's take a look.

"Teksi!"

Deadpool stopped a taxi with his hand, jumped into the taxi, and said to the driver:

"Go to Sulfur Harbor!"

"Okay, guest."

Dupont reached out and pressed the meter, and while starting the taxi, he said to Deadpool behind him:

"Sit tight, guest, and..."

"Want some music?"
