"Pop!"
The strong light of the flashlight illuminated the dark underground space. Stephanie Malick looked around, her expression both excited and disappointed.
Excited because there were traces of human life here. Many things must have been taken from the spaceship by the astronauts, and judging from the environment setup, they should have lived here for a long time.
Disappointed because there was no one here now, and she didn't know if they just weren't here or if they were already...
And she didn't find any trace of the Hydra God.
"What do we do now?" Stephanie Malick took off her heavy protective suit and asked Samuel with a heavy heart.
Samuel shrugged and said indifferently, "You decide. I'm only responsible for bringing You here and bringing You back."
Stephanie Malick said resentfully, "Can't You help me?"
"What are You saying? Why should I help You?"
"I've been with You all along..."
"Is this a condition? I thought You liked me and came with me voluntarily!"
Stephanie Malick's expression became even more resentful. Of course, she knew Samuel wasn't that naive, and she also knew that this kind of thing couldn't be considered a condition at all, but there was no need to be so direct, so cold, right?
Even if I don't have merit, I have hard work, right? Don't you show any affection!
Recognizing Samuel's nature of not acknowledging people after getting what he wants and not letting go until he sees results, Stephanie Malick could only find a way herself.
The environment outside was too harsh, and she didn't know how big this Planet actually was. The only thing she could do now was hope to find useful clues here.
Stephanie Malick rummaged through things, while Samuel silently replaced himself with an illusion and entered the Mirror Space without a sound.
In the Mirror Space, Hive watched Samuel enter vigilantly, although he still didn't know who they were.
But it was obvious that the previous few headaches and the other party bringing him into this strange space without telling his companion must have had ulterior motives!
"Who are You!" Hive asked in a deep voice.
Samuel looked at him and shook his head. The host he was currently parasitizing was the astronaut Will Daniels, the one Jemma Simmons saw when she came to this Planet in the TV series.
Will Daniels was already dead. From beginning to end, the person Jemma Simmons saw and knew was Hive!
It has to be said that Hive's acting skills and cunning were indeed very powerful. He managed to interfere with the deep relationship between the two scientists. Perhaps he even achieved the achievement of being Jemma Simmons's first!
Although this kind of thing is impossible now, Jemma Simmons was already sent to the Zombie Universe to research the zombie virus in the Quantum Realm a long time ago.
But thinking about it, it's still a bit upsetting!
"My name is Will, I'm an astronaut, You..." Hive spoke again when he saw that he didn't reply.
Before he could finish speaking, he saw the other party raise his hand and casually snap his fingers.
"Pop!"
Green flames burned on Hive's body without any warning. The scorching pain made him directly abandon the idea of disguising his identity. With a wave of his hand, several parasites crawled out of his body and pounced towards Samuel.
"Buzz!"
The same flames ignited on the parasites without any warning. In just a few seconds, they were burned to ashes.
Hive, who was already like Pyro, rushed towards Samuel with a roar of grief and indignation.
"Why! Why!!! Why..."
With a splat, the impotently enraged Hive unwillingly fell to his knees. Immediately afterwards, the strange and scorching green flames had completely burned this body that should have died long ago into ashes.
Looking at the gradually extinguishing flames, Samuel snorted and sneered, "You wouldn't think I didn't notice, would You?"
No one responded, and there was no abnormality around.
Samuel scoffed and said mockingly, "This is the Mirror Dimension Space. Normally, only sorcerers can enter and exit freely, but even if they are sorcerers, they only enter and exit within the scope of Earth, and this is already outside the Solar System. There will be no sorcerers coming here at all."
"In Your current state, without a host to parasitize, You shouldn't be able to survive for long, right? Come out, I'll give You a quick death!"
Hive was not dead yet, or rather, not completely dead!
His true form is a parasite. As long as one parasite is still alive, he will not die.
Of course, he won't die for a short time, but without a host to parasitize, he will still die!
"Still not coming out? Then forget it!"
Samuel raised his finger and aimed at the ashes. With a whoosh, a fiery Hot Ray shot out from his fingertip, directly vaporizing the parasite hiding deep within the ashes.
"Want to ambush me? Dream on!" Samuel pouted and turned to walk out of the Mirror Space.
Hive's reason for not coming out wasn't fear of Death. He could hide for a while, but not forever. Staying in the Mirror Space was also a dead end.
His only way out was to parasitize Samuel!
So, even though he knew he had been discovered, he couldn't move, couldn't come out, because once he did, he would be killed from a distance!
He could only gamble!
If Samuel got close to the ashes, he still had a chance to turn the tables; otherwise, everything would be for naught!
...
Unfortunately, Samuel didn't give him a chance to make a comeback.
The first Inhuman, the Hydra God, died so silently, without a sound. And until his Death, he didn't know who killed him or why!
"Found anything?" Canceling the illusion and returning, Samuel asked Stephanie Malick.
"I can only confirm that someone was living here not long ago, probably within a week, but other than that..."
Stephanie Malick shook her head in frustration. She had searched high and low for clues about the Hydra God for a long time but ultimately found nothing.
"I won't stay here with you forever. You have two choices now."
"Either you stay here alone, and I'll come pick you up when your Father offers me satisfactory terms."
"Or, I'll accompany you to search the vicinity outside to see if we can find anything else."
Stephanie Malick definitely wouldn't stay here alone. Who knew what dangers this ghost place might have? And once Samuel left, it was uncertain when or if he would return. Staying here was just waiting to die.
"Let's go outside and search, but... why are you suddenly so kind? You weren't willing to help before, were you?" Stephanie Malick was a little puzzled.
Samuel shrugged: "Maybe it's because I'm in a good mood now. I said, when I'm in a good mood, I don't mind being charitable!"
