The Baffled Red Skull

Let's turn our attention back to Xia Yu. On the desolate and gloomy Vormir, on a mountain range that is equally desolate, consisting only of yellow sand and rocks, Xia Yu is slowly making his way towards the summit.

"Hawkeye actually said this place is a good tourist destination? He must be out of his mind."

Xia Yu stood halfway up the mountain and spoke to the desolate land below, which was almost the same color.

When Xia Yu watched the movie, he didn't understand what Hawkeye meant by saying that. He thought the reality would be quite different, but he clearly overestimated Hawkeye's aesthetic sense.

In reality, this place is definitely even more desolate.

"How reclusive must someone be to enjoy traveling to places like this? Hawkeye, you pervert!"

Xia Yu quickened his pace while complaining.

This damn place is completely silent. The trees, the small animals, even the wind blowing through the mountains are all silent. If the Soul Stone weren't so important, Xia Yu would have liked to take out a Missile and blast this place to see what happens.

After walking for a long time, they finally arrived at a place that resembled a mountain gate. Xia Yu stood there and looked down at the mountain below.

I suddenly remembered that when I watched the movie, Natasha and Hawkeye were arguing about sacrificing themselves for everyone.

Over the course of five years, Hawkeye succumbed to killing after losing his family, while Natasha was devastated by her failure to Thanos, forcing herself to stay alert and monitor unusual events around the universe from the base every day.

Of course, there were many other people in the Avengers who also fell into despair. At that time, Xia Yu thought that this was the difference between Hero and ordinary people. Ordinary people would feel lucky to have survived.

Those Hero who save the world may feel they haven't tried hard enough when they fail.

Like many teenagers with delusions of grandeur, Xia Yu would fantasize about whether he would be willing to sacrifice himself if he were in that situation when watching these kinds of Hero stories.

Now, finally, he has stood in this place, but from a different perspective, Xia Yu really doesn't know if he has the courage to jump off the cliff in front of him.

Red Skull, a warlord during World War II, was exiled to this place to guard the gem for decades. For someone who was determined to rule the world, this was definitely a form of torture.

Compared to Captain waking up decades later, even though he's no longer living in his own time, he's found a group of like-minded friends, not to mention he now has Peggy Carter and the Winter Soldier by his side.

The Red Skull's situation is much more tragic. Over the decades, very few people have come here, and not a single one has successfully taken the Soul Stone.

Red Skull's only pleasure has become appearing out of nowhere whenever a new person arrives, and reciting the names of the new person and his father.

There's no concept of time here. I don't know how much time has passed, but finally a new person came up.

The fact that he could still stand on the edge of the cliff in a daze, Red Skull was certain that this kid was fantasizing about the happy life he would have after obtaining the Soul Stone, going out and wreaking havoc, or gaining power and wealth.

Little did they know that to gain these things, they had to first lose what was most precious to them.

To become an absolute and undisputed tyrant in the universe, one must become Coldblood- blooded, and indifferent to even one's own family.

I hope the people who come today won't disappoint me, so I can be freed from this damned curse sooner.

Red Skull let out a strange, mocking laugh, secretly hoping that this person would successfully take the gem, yet also anticipating seeing how this person would be beaten down by society.

With a complex and somewhat feigned feeling, Red Skull silently floated out from the corner.

As Red Skull drew closer to Xia Yu, he looked at Xia Yu's back and sensed that he was a young man.

I'm sure I'll startle the other person if I suddenly speak up, especially after revealing their name and their father's name.

One of the Red Skull's curses is that if someone is within a certain range, he can accurately say the name of that person and their father. He has tested it many times; the range is ten meters, and he's almost there. He's looking forward to seeing the young man's startled expression.

Three meters...

Two meters...

One meter...

Just as his curse or domain was about to engulf the young man, the young man standing on the edge of the cliff suddenly spoke.

He didn't even turn his head.

"Johann Schmidt was born in a small village in Germany. Your mother died during childbirth, and your father once tried to drown you. You were later sent to an orphanage to grow up. At the age of seven, you escaped from the orphanage and began a life of begging and theft. Later, you gained Hitler's favor by working as a waiter in a hotel, and eventually founded the infamous Hydra."

Before Red Skull could even gather any information about Xia Yu, the other party recounted his entire life story from childhood to adulthood.

There are some things that even Hitler or his closest confidants at the time didn't know.

Every time someone came over, many people thought their past was unknown, and they were shocked when Red Skull suddenly revealed their own names and even their father's names.

But this time, it was Red Skull who got to experience that feeling.

His deepest pain stemmed from his mother's death when he was young and his father's attempt to drown him.

Even though he was floating in the air, Red Skull couldn't help but take several steps back.

Then, trembling, he uttered the most embarrassing sentence he had ever said since becoming the Guardian of the Soul Stone.

"Who... who are you? How do you know so much about me?"

Xia Yu smiled slightly upon hearing this. "Do you think I'd tell you that I was a Marvel fan in my past life and knew this by watching videos and reading Baidu Encyclopedia?"

However, since I've already thwarted their pretentious entrance, I should at least try to act mysterious and unfathomable myself.

Xia Yu then turned around, a gentle smile on his face, and said softly.

"My child!! I've finally found you. Actually, your father wasn't your biological father. Your mother and I had an affair. I'm your real father, my poor child!"

Xia Yu suddenly took a step forward, and Red Skull only felt a flash before Xia Yu was already in front of him.

And then she hugged herself tightly, bursting into loud sobs.

"I heard your mother had a difficult childbirth, and your mother's damned husband actually tried to drown you. It's all your father's fault for not finding you sooner, making you suffer so much. Look at you, living on the mountaintop every day, your skin is all Sun off."

Xia Yu's right hand slapped the Red Skull's back repeatedly.

"Look at you, you don't even have a decent set of clothes. I'm so sorry, Dad."

Xia Yu screamed and cried, but not a single tear came out of his eyes. He casually picked up the black robe from the Red Skull's shoulder with his left hand.

He vigorously washed his nose, removing any unfounded snot.

Although there was no snot, the sound gave Red Skull goosebumps for no apparent reason.

"Hmm... this black robe of yours feels quite nice. My poor child, your father is here. From now on, no one will dare to bully you again!"

After wiping his nose, Xia Yu patted Red Skull's shoulder and mumbled something indistinctly.

Red Skull!

I'm dizzy...
