Chapter 1102: Mantis's synesthesia, Quill was taken away by Ego

"They are not used to sense door frames." Mantis said directly, and also announced the winner of the bet.

"I think... they have something to do with my synesthesia."

"What is that?" Gamora asked.

“When I touch someone, I feel what they’re feeling.”

"Can you read minds?" Peter Quill asked.

"No, telepathy is the perception of thoughts, and synaesthesia is the perception of feelings and emotions." Mantis stretched out his hand to Peter Quill, "Can I?"

"it is good."

Mantis placed her hand on the back of Peter Quill's hand, her two antennae glowing white as she closed her eyes.

After a moment, Mantis smiled and opened his eyes, "You feel love."

"Yes, I think I feel love, a selfless love for everyone."

"No, it's romantic, bisexual love."

"I didn't..."

"She is the one I love." Mantis pointed at Gamora.

"No, it's not..."

"Hahaha..." Drax laughed and pointed at Peter Quill, "She told your most secret and darkest secret."

"Dude, come on, you're overreacting."

"You must be so embarrassed, hahaha..."

"Weird, really weird." Aaron held his head and shook his head speechlessly, then looked at Gamora sympathetically, "Guardians of the Galaxy, you may be the only normal person. How do you tolerate them?"

Gamora shrugged, "You'll get used to it."

“That’s a standard answer.”

"Come and sense me, try me." Drax laughed and patted his chest.

Mantis placed her hands on his shoulders, her two antennae lit up again, and then she also laughed, "Haha... I've never felt such humor."

"It's unbelievably disgusting," Peter Quill said helplessly.

Mantis smiled for a moment and aimed at Gamora, but before her hand could touch Gamora's cheek, she grabbed it, "If you dare to touch me, you will only feel a broken jaw."

The mantis's expression changed slightly and he lowered his head angrily.

"I can also change people's moods a little bit."

"for example?"

“If I come across someone who is sad, I can comfort them and give them temporary satisfaction, and I can make a stubborn person compliant.

But I mainly use my powers to help my master fall asleep, as she is unable to sleep all night thinking about her children."

Peter Quill had a puzzled look on his face, and he had some inexplicable emotions in his heart towards this father whom he had met for less than a day.

"Try that on me." Drax volunteered, patting his chest.

The mantis touched his forehead, its antennae slightly lit up, "Go to sleep!"

boom!

Drax fell backwards, snoring loudly.

"How rude." Aaron shook his head. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind. He slowly stretched out his hand and said, "Can you try to sense my emotions?"

"OK."

Mantis gently placed her hand on Aaron's palm, but after a few seconds she frowned in confusion, "It's strange, my synesthesia seems to have no effect on you."

"Sorry, this is my negligence." Aaron smiled embarrassedly, then stretched out his hand again, "Try to sense it again."

The antennae on Mantis's forehead lit up again, and then her expression changed slightly, "Depressed, bitter, confused, relieved, excited, uneasy... and a strong longing for her hometown and loved ones."

"You, what on earth have you been through?

I can sense this has been with you for a long time."

"Watford..." Peter Quill looked at Aaron in astonishment, "How old are you?"

"Twenty-three."

"Should a twenty-three-year-old have so many complicated emotions?"

"This doesn't seem to have anything to do with you!" Aaron said impatiently, then looked at Mantis seriously, "Since you can change people's emotions, can you please give me a little satisfaction, just a little bit."

"Let me try!" Mantis said somewhat unconfidently, and then used all his strength to activate his abilities.

Aaron slowly closed his eyes, and his spirit, which had been tense for five years, slowly relaxed.

His consciousness seemed to have traveled through time, back to his carefree childhood, dreaming of a life of lying on the book of merit and waiting for death, then his school life at Hogwarts, which was a bit tiring but also had a different taste, and finally he entered the palace of marriage with Clea and the others...

After an unknown amount of time, Aaron came back to his senses and wiped his slightly moist eyes.

"It's a good dream. No wonder you can stay with Egg for so long."

Hearing this, Mantis' eyes dodged and his body trembled slightly.

Did Aaron know something?

Impossible! Anyone who knew the master's secret must be dead!

......

Bohart Star.

Yondu's fleet passed through the space barrier and arrived at the Gourmet Forest.

Dozens of marauders approached the dilapidated Milan under the cover of night, but Rocket seemed to have been prepared and had buried various traps in the woods.

The anesthetic needles, shock wave devices, and electric shock nets made them suffer terribly and they kept screaming in pain.

But after more than half of the men had fallen, Yondu blew a whistle, and the whistle arrow with a red glow pointed at Rocket's forehead, announcing the end of the battle.

"Haha! Hello, Rat." Yongdu smiled proudly.

"How are you? You blue idiot."

“Not bad, we got a good job.

A pretentious, glittering girl has offered us a high price to capture you and your companions and hand them over to her because she wants to kill you."

At the same time, inside the Milan spacecraft.

Nebula keenly sensed the opportunity to escape, and she immediately said to Little Groot: "You have too many friends and enemies, he needs my help.

If you still care about him, you have to help me get rid of the handcuffs, they will kill him."

......

“Let me tell you, it’s easy to find you.

I placed a tracking device on your ship while on Xandar."

"If you promise not to hurt Groot, I'll tell you where the battery is."

"Oh! You are so lucky that I don't keep my word, otherwise I would have handed you over.

I'm not that stupid. If we kill the Guardians of the Galaxy, the entire Nova Corps on Xandar won't let us go."

"Boss, is there another reason?" Yondu's assistant Kraglin said indignantly, "It seems that no matter how many times Quill betrays you, you will protect him, as if the rest of us are not important."

"Huh!" Yongdu let out a long breath, turned around and patted Kraglin on the shoulder, then looked at the team that had followed him for many years and was loyal to him, "I admit that I do like that kid, after all, I raised him since he was a child, even if I raise a dog, I should have feelings for him.

But that doesn’t mean you’re not important, understand?”

Kraglin nodded as if he understood, and barely suppressed the little emotion in his heart.

At least this time Yongdu didn't make any excuses or give them a perfunctory response.

“Okay, hand over the battery.

If you let that kid Quill come out and get beaten up again, I’ll let you go with reluctance.

Also, let him make up the difference for me.

Those batteries were worth two hundred and fifty thousand on the black market, but Sovereign offered one million for them.

In other words, my favor of not killing you this time is worth 750,000."

"Seven hundred and fifty thousand?" Rocket was stunned for a moment, then he laughed uncontrollably. "Seven hundred and fifty thousand, what a tiny number!"

"If you can give it for him, that's fine."

“No, no, no, you misunderstood Yondu.

What I mean is, this is Bohart Star, the largest production base of fantasy ingredients in the entire universe.

And this just happens to be a food forest, and each food tree is worth two hundred thousand. You can make a fortune just by stealing a few and selling them."

Yondu rolled his eyes and flicked Rocket on the head.

"Do you think I'm stupid?

Why do you think Bohart Star didn't send anyone to guard this forest?

Because that damn mind reader has signed a contract with almost all the plunderer teams." Yongdu cursed indignantly, "Once someone steals, all the plunderers will receive a bounty.

The minimum is one million, and the maximum is ten times the value of the stolen item. Since the establishment of Bohart Star, at least thirty groups of thieves have been wiped out, and their bodies were not intact. "

"Wow! I'm not really sure about that," Rocket said carelessly.

“Forget it, let that kid Quill come out to see me.

I have something very important to tell him, something to do with his origins."

"Then you're too late. Quill has already left with his biological father."

"What did you say?"

“Quill and Ego are gone, along with Drax and Gamora, otherwise why would I be the only one here?

Oh, and there's Groot, but he's just a sapling!"

"When did Quill leave?"

"This morning."

"Shit!" Yongdu cursed angrily and kicked away a broken tree stump.

"You don't have to be so angry!" Rocket joked, "Ego seems much more reliable than you, and if it weren't for you, Quill would have been reunited with his father and son long ago."

"You know nothing!

If I hadn't taken that kid away from Earth, he would have been in Egg's stomach."

"What? Are you kidding?"

"Are you kidding? Do you know how many children Ego has?" Yondu put his face close to Rocket, "I don't know about the others, but the ones he hired me to find are close to four digits, and each one is of a different race.

Peter Quill is just one of his countless children, enough bones to cover the entire forest."

Rocket was confused for a moment, "Where is Ego's planet? Maybe we can still rescue him now?"

"We can't save him." Yongdu said angrily, "I know better than you how terrifying Ego is. Even if all the predators are combined, they can't pose any threat to him."

“I know, he destroyed a Sovereign fleet in the blink of an eye.

But we can't stop saving him just because of this!"

"I can't take them to die." Yondu pointed at the surrounding predators and said, then sighed heavily, "I'll go with you."

"Yondu." Kraglin opened his mouth hesitantly, "Although I don't quite understand, but...what about us?"

Yongdu looked at the familiar figures around him, smiled self-deprecatingly, and then handed the whistle arrow on his waist to Kraglin, "There is another prototype fin on the spacecraft. If I don't come back alive, they will be left to you to lead.

Also, go find Starka, those kids... I was the first to violate the predator's code. I don't expect them to forgive me, but please apologize to them on my behalf."

"Yondu." The oldest raider hesitated, "We..."

"Shut up, this is my business, it's none of your business." Yongdu sternly rebuked, then looked at Rocket, "The Milan can't be opened, go to my battleship!

With a few more space jumps, we can still catch up."

"Wait a minute, I have to take Groot with me."

"You don't have to look for him." Nebula's cold voice came from behind, and little Groot was pinched in her hand, "How about making a deal?"

"It's unbelievable that you would throw this little guy into the same spaceship with Thanos' daughter." Yondu was speechless, "What were you thinking?"

“I’m sure she was chained up just a few minutes ago.

It’s just that in these few minutes, some small accidents may have happened.”

"Shut up." Nebula shouted, and hit Groot's head hard with the gun. "If you don't want him to die, listen to me."

"Okay, okay, you go first." Rocket waved his hand hastily, "Keep that thing in your hand away from Groot."

"Give me a ship, loaded with weapons.

And the coordinates of the planet Ego."

"What do you want these for?"

"I'm going to kill Gamora."

"That's not the case!" Kraglin interrupted weakly, "She seems to be your sister, right?"

Nebula sneered, “When I was a kid, my father would have me and Gamora fight each other in training.

Every time my sister won, my father would replace part of my body with a robot. He said he wanted me to be as strong as her.

But she always won, over and over again, without ever showing mercy.”

“When I kill my sister, I will buy a battleship and load it with all the weapons of massacre.

I will hunt my father like a dog and slowly tear him apart, piece by piece, until he can feel even a tiny bit of the deep, unending pain I go through every day."

"Yeah!" Kraglin was shocked and regretted having spoken too much.

"This resentment... is really terrible." Rocket said unconcernedly, "You are just unlucky to have met a sister who is stronger than you, but your brain is not that stupid, right?

If Thanos could be defeated so easily, he wouldn't be the Mad Titan."

"There is still a chance to defeat him now, although the chance is slim, but once he finishes collecting..." Xingyun said halfway when he suddenly realized something and quickly shut up.

"Collect what?"

"None of your business?" Nebula had no intention of answering. She just squeezed Groot's neck hard and said, "Get what I want ready, or you'll have to collect this little guy's body!"

"Can you handle it?" Rocket winked at Yondu.

Yondu shrugged and then whistled.
