A soldier pointed in a direction.
Two short tombstones stood there quietly.
"Django Maximov, Maya Maximov, search for information on these two individuals."
In a dilapidated wooden house far from the city center, a brother and sister are packing clothes and dry food into their suitcases.
"We can't sell directly here, or we'll be finished if we're discovered."
Little Pietro picked up a photo of a family of four, stuffed it into his suitcase, and finally took the golden lamp next to him.
Before putting it in, little Pietro, perhaps thinking about the wonderful life ahead and wanting to amuse his sister, said, "Wanda, doesn't this thing look like the magic lamp from the stories Mom used to tell us?"
"It's... Aladdin's lamp? It can grant three wishes! Is that true?"
Little Wanda's adorable big eyes sparkled with curiosity and anticipation.
"Of course it's true! But the spirit in this lamp is very weak, so it can only grant one small wish. Wanda, want to give it a try?"
Pietro's eyes darted around, and he handed the golden lamp to his sister.
How do I make a wish?
Little Wanda stopped crying and smiled, accepting the golden lamp.
Despite having faced life and death, Wanda's innocence has not been erased by life, and a long-lost smile has returned to her face.
"Just like in the story, rub this magic lamp, then close your eyes and make a wish."
Pietro smiled slightly and said, "But remember, this magic lamp is very weak and can only grant one small wish. If the wish is too difficult to grant, then it's a waste."
"Oh, I see!"
Little Wanda nodded vigorously, carefully cradled the magic lamp in his arms, closed his eyes, and placed his right hand, trembling slightly, above the lamp's flask.
"Pete, what was that outfit called last time?"
Little Wanda closed his eyes and thought for a while, then asked with some hesitation.
"What kind?"
When Pietro heard his sister's question, a smile appeared on his lips, and he tiptoed to take a small box from the tattered wardrobe next to him.
"It's the one we saw in the third shop on Sonia Street last time we passed by."
"Oh, that? I asked Jennifer next door, and she said it's called JK, which seems to be internet slang from the East Island."
As Pietro answered, he gently placed the box he had prepared beforehand in front of Wanda, whose eyes were closed.
"Well, I'd like a JK uniform. That shouldn't be too much to ask, right?"
Little Wanda wrapped his tattered clothes tighter around himself and said in a low voice.
A blue chandelier emerged from the spout of the golden lamp and twitched twice.
Little Pietro stood to the side, dumbfounded.
—He only wanted to use making a wish as an excuse to give his sister a gift, how did it become a reality?
I will try my best to fulfill your wish.
A strange, unfamiliar voice rang in Wanda's ears, startling her. —A genie really exists? Did the genie grant her wish?
Before she could think any further, Little Wanda suddenly felt weak all over, her legs gave way, and she collapsed to the ground.
"Wanda, what's wrong?!"
Pietro snapped out of his daze, rushed forward, kicked the magic lamp away, and helped little Wanda up.
"Who are you people...?!!"
Just then, coincidentally, a woman screamed from outside.
"It's the landlady's voice!"
Pietro's heart skipped a beat. He ran to the window and looked down. A group of fully armed soldiers were pouring into the building.
That outfit! It's the team that escorted the magic lamp!
"Oh no, they've come knocking on our door so quickly."
Little Pietro hurriedly stepped forward and stuffed the magic lamp into the suitcase, anxiously looking at his sister: "Wanda, are you alright? Those people are coming, let's leave from the back quickly!"
"Ok!"
Wanda was pale, but she forced herself to stand up and nodded.
The two took another route to the next building and reached the first floor before the soldiers realized that the buildings were interconnected.
"Wanda, come on up!"
Pietro called out, pushing a small cart.
He could tell that his sister was very tired and probably wouldn't last much longer, so he stole a scavenger's cart from the side.
"You idiots! The two Maximov boys have run away!"
“Chase after them!!”
They chased each other through the forest.
Pietro was still young, and even though he managed to pull ahead by relying on his familiarity with the terrain, he was still closely pursued by the soldiers behind him.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry up!!!"
Pietro gritted his teeth, trying to run faster, but unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.
At that moment, the once clear sky suddenly darkened, and the entire forest became shrouded in darkness.
"Hey, what happened?"
Is there any announcement about a solar eclipse today?
The soldiers were halted by the sudden darkness and began to ask questions in the voice prompt.
Meanwhile, Pietro, because his vision suddenly disappeared, accidentally stepped on a stone, tripped and fell over, and his cart flew off.
"No, Wanda!"
thump.
The ground suddenly trembled, and an unknown object caught little Wanda.
"Did you summon me?"
A deep, drawn-out voice came from above, but its tone inexplicably contained a hint of pleasure.
Pietro looked up and saw a huge eye staring at him and Wanda.
What had just caught her sister was actually just a piece of scale from the claw of that unknown creature!
Chapter 18 Yes, I am a JK
"Godzilla has invaded?"
The soldiers not far from Pietro and Wanda also looked up at the sound and saw the huge eye. They were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground.
"Hey, Joyce, caught him?"
"Godzilla has invaded?"
The soldiers not far from Pietro and Wanda also looked up at the sound and saw the huge eye. They were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground.
"Hey, Joyce, did you catch those two brats? Remember to bring them back. We need fresh blood without any burdens, or maybe test subjects."
"Lord Strucker, we've been stopped by Godzilla."
The squad leader adjusted his headset and answered somewhat stiffly.
There was a brief silence on the other end of the headset, followed by a voice saying, "Your joke is boring, Sergeant Joyce. Come back soon; there's a mission for you to carry out here."
"No, Lord Strucker, I'm not joking..."
"Then let us serve Hydra, kill Godzilla, and bring back its corpse."
Toot——
The signal was cut off at the other end.
"Long live Hydra!"
In despair, Captain Joyce raised his submachine gun and pulled the trigger at the giant eye in the air.
Ding Ding Ding!
The bullet struck the giant monster's eyelids, but bounced back as if it had encountered steel, making a crisp sound.
"You guys are really like a heifer entering a bull pen—you're incredibly awesome."
boom! ! !
A giant claw descended from the sky, crushing the world like a cockroach, silencing all resistance.
"So this is what it feels like for Cronus to pat people; it's not a very good experience."
The enormous claw slowly rose, shaking off the bloodstains.
"you……"
Pietro stared in disbelief as the unknown, enormous creature crushed one of their pursuing soldiers with a single claw, and then... the creature gradually shrank and transformed into a human?
Did she summon me?
Luo Xing glanced at the unconscious little girl in his arms and asked.
"She's my sister..."
Pietro nodded subconsciously, then shook his head sharply: "No, my sister just wants a dress!"
"Clothes? What did she do?" Luo Xing asked.
"She made a wish into an Aladdin's lamp, and to her surprise, a genie actually appeared inside."
Pietro scratched his head. The events of the day were too bizarre, completely overturning his worldview.
—Dad, Mom, you're lying to me!
