Skrulls Spotted

After finishing his sentence in one breath, the chubby security guard suddenly added, "Do you believe it?"

If this were in the world before he traveled through time, Henry would never have believed it, because what the fat security guard said was simply too unbelievable.

A woman falling from the sky? This isn't City Hunter, where brides fall from the sky.

But this is the Marvel Universe, and such developments make it hard not to think of a certain female protagonist. This is the origin story of Captain Marvel, Marvel's officially recognized strongest Captain Marvel.

Actually, those movie memories are quite distant, so distant that Henry doesn't usually pay much attention to them. But with his Super Brain's memory...

With just a little clue, one can quickly follow the trail and remember everything.

However, the movie plot cannot be relied upon for precognition. Because if the development of events is even slightly different, it can easily veer off course. Moreover, it is impossible for a two-hour movie to show all the changes in the details.

So Henry, having made up his mind not to get involved this time, decided to ignore the matter.

Surely another Mystique won't appear and drag me out on a mission to fight a bunch of random aliens, right? I feel like I've made a name for myself. The more I say no, the more likely it is to happen.

Well, I didn't realize it until I said it like that. The more I talked about it, the more uneasy I felt. Henry quickly shook his head, as if trying to shake off bad luck.

However, seeing the fat security guard's eagerness to talk to someone, Henry couldn't very well ignore him. "Of course I believe it. Mutants have already made this world chaotic enough; what's so surprising about adding more strange things?"

"Right. In the end, those people just laughed at me, saying how could something like that be possible?"

Henry lowered his voice, feigning seriousness, and said, "Have you ever considered that maybe they're just using that as a way to shut you up?"

The security guard, echoing Henry's sentiments, whispered, "I think so too. So, what do you suggest I do?"

"Sell the information to a tabloid reporter and make some money for drinks. What else do you want to do? Do you think you can be like Arnold, killing the Predator in the jungle and stealing his high-tech equipment? I think the chances of being killed in a self-destruction are much higher."

"That's true." The portly security guard patted his belly, but his eyes weren't as ardent as they had been at the beginning.

Henry clapped his hands as he put the organized videotapes into the return box. "All done. I'm off now. How much longer are you guys going to wait?"

The chubby security guard said, "I don't know either. Logically, after I reported what happened here, the company should have notified Blockbuster and RadioShack. Someone from them should have come long ago, but no one has shown up yet. I don't know what's going on."

"Okay, I have to go to work. I'm leaving now."

"Hmm." The two strangers didn't say "goodbye" or anything like that. They simply nodded and parted ways.

Just as Henry was returning the videotape and chatting with the fat security guard, a group of people gathered on a rooftop in the distance. They were dressed in various styles, including blue-collar workers, white-collar workers, men, women, and children.

Henry was naturally wary of this group of people. If they were from the FBI or LAPD and their target was him, he would have to start looking for an escape route.

The escape method is simple: as long as you briefly disappear from the other party's sight and are not caught on camera, immediately use Super Speed or fly away.

Thanks to this technique, no one has been able to stop him so far. Henry has been practicing the Batman- style disappearing act very diligently.

Having already been stopped twice by the FBI under mysterious circumstances and taken to inexplicable places, even someone as thick-skinned as Henry knew this shouldn't happen a third time.

Otherwise, it would be incredibly annoying for a Kryptonian to be constantly stopped by these official organizations, arbitrarily labeled, and dragged away.

So whenever Henry feels he's being targeted, he'll prepare his escape route in advance. The moment the other party makes a move, he disappears without a trace. Unless Quicksilver is sent to chase him!

However, I heard this guy left the X-Men and didn't stay at that Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. It's said that members of the X-Men come and go; there are probably only a few permanent members. People joining and leaving isn't surprising.

The group of people in the distance didn't seem to intend to do anything to him; they were just huddled together talking. Henry stopped paying attention to them.

Little did they know, these people were talking about themselves. Or rather, they were surprised to see an alien life form that shouldn't belong to the native inhabitants of the Kree Empire's C-53 planet, a Kryptonian with life on its star map.

Are you sure that guy who looks just like an alien native is Krypton cockroach?

A Skrulls said earnestly, "Kryptonian possess a DNA lock, one of the very few life forms in the universe that we cannot completely replicate or transform. It's impossible to mistake it."

My ability can only replicate his appearance; any further attempts will encounter rejection. Of course, I can't even make his DNA identical."

Yes, I can confirm that it was Krypton cockroach. Although we haven't encountered Kryptonian in a long time in our history, their descriptions of rejecting our shapeshifting abilities are exactly the same as what I experienced. That's proof enough."

This group of people are Skrulls, an alien race with a highly advanced technological civilization that accidentally arrived on Earth. Their innate racial ability is to transform into any living or non-living thing they see and gain temporary memories of it.

Because of their talents, the Skrulls have an innate aversion to races with similar abilities or those that can counter their abilities.

The Diberians, who approached Earth three years ago to seize the Phoenix Force, are an alien race capable of mimicking other life forms, though not at the DNA level.

However, it was precisely because of the Diberians ' abilities that their power was repeatedly attacked by the Skrull Empire in the universe. It was only because the Diberians ' homeworld was located within the territory of the Shi'ar Empire that they were not wiped out by the Skrulls.

And Krypton in this universe seems to have some kind of connection with the Skrulls. Judging from the way these Skrulls address each other, their relationship is not friendly. All of this is unknown to Henry, who was not paying attention to the situation.

Even if he noticed it, he couldn't decipher the Skrull language he was hearing for the first time. Although Henry had learned many languages with the support of the Super Brain, they weren't all the known languages on Earth, let alone regional dialects.

So even if Henry notices that strange conversation, he probably won't take it to heart.
