"Wow!"
Everyone was shocked when they saw Groot the Tree Man appear in the theater.
"Hey, can trees turn into humanoids now? According to what Linen once said, did a big tree become a spirit?"
Seeing Tony's shocked expression, Thor laughed. "This is a member of the Tree People in the universe."
"Tree People?"
After hearing Thor's explanation, everyone suddenly realized that the tree was actually an alien.
"I am Groot!"
Seeing everyone staring at him, Groot spoke.
"Hello, Mr. Tree Man, I'm Steve Rogers!"
"I am Groot!"
"This is Tony Stark, this is Thor…"
"I am Groot!"
Listening to Groot repeatedly introducing himself, Steve frowned.
Seeing this, Thor said, "He means he doesn't understand why he's here, since just a second ago his companions and Rocket were captured and imprisoned."
Seeing Thor acting as an interpreter, Nick Fury asked, "Thor, you can understand what this Tree Man is saying?"
"Of course. It's one of the compulsory courses in Asgard!"
Upon hearing Thor mention Asgard, Groot's eyes brightened. "I am Groot…"
Faced with Groot's words, Thor's expression immediately turned stiff and embarrassed. "Damn Peter Quill!"
"What happened?"
Seeing Thor's dark face, Steve asked curiously, "Who is Peter Quill? And what did Groot mean?"
Faced with everyone's curious looks, Thor was silent for a few seconds, then forced a laugh. "It's nothing. The theater lights are dimming—the video is about to start. Let's watch it first!"
He brushed it off casually, and once everyone had sat down and the video was about to begin,
Thor leaned toward Groot and whispered, "What you said earlier—did that guy named Peter Quill really hook up with two Asgardian ladies and then abandon them?"
"I am Groot."
"Damn it, I'll get justice for those two poor ladies sooner or later!"
In a prison on an alien planet.
"Achoo!"
After sneezing, Peter Quill rubbed his nose.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Peter sneeze, he subconsciously looked around.
Gamora, who was sitting in the corner, frowned. "Are you scared?"
"Scared? Don't be ridiculous. I'm the one who made the prison escape plan. How could I be scared [CHECK: 'adab?' unclear mistranslation]? You know, I'm the famous Star-Lord!"
Rubbing his nose again, Peter leaned against the wall. "I just suddenly had a bad premonition, like someone was watching me."
"Forget it. When the prison opens for exercise, we'll go find Rocket Raccoon and Groot to perfect the escape plan!"
"This prison can't hold me!"
Hearing this, Gamora nodded, then closed her eyes to rest.
Only Peter Quill continued glancing around nervously.
Why did I feel that way just now…?
Inside Linen's apartment.
"System, when will I be able to see the reactions of the people in the viewing room after they watch the video, and hear their discussions?"
After editing the video, Linen ate popcorn while watching the disc, waiting for everyone's feedback.
After watching The Truman Show, he suddenly asked curiously.
[The viewing room has been upgraded to Level 10. At that point, the host can see everyone's actions inside the viewing room.]
[Current viewing room level: 8]
[Note: The host may choose to make himself a Spoiler System owner and participate personally!]
Seeing the system's response, Linen froze.
"I can also become an owner of the Spoiler System? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"System, if I have the Spoiler System and I watch the video I edited myself—combined with the future—will it affect the overall trust value?"
Faced with Linen's question, the system directly gave a negative answer.
Seeing the answer, Linen nodded.
Since it's possible, I'll have to think about it carefully.
At the same time, in the viewing room.
Watching the Avengers attack the Hydra base in Sokovia on screen, Wanda's eyes flashed with complicated emotions.
Having been in the viewing room for so long, Wanda already knew what these people would do in the future.
They truly were superheroes—people willing to sacrifice themselves for Earth.
She also understood that she and Hydra were natural enemies.
Even her hatred of Tony Stark—the one she believed responsible for her parents' deaths—had softened slightly.
The Hydra base in Sokovia was an evil place in the eyes of the Avengers.
But this evil place was the one that took her and Pietro in.
It gave them shelter, warmth, food… survival.
So—
She glanced at Natasha, who was watching the video intently.
Wanda exhaled quietly.
Before she could continue watching with her mixed emotions, Natasha lifted her hand and gently tapped the back of Wanda's.
"None of us can choose our birth or our past. But we can choose our future."
As a top agent, Natasha noticed Wanda's complex expression immediately.
Knowing she and Pietro Maximoff were born in Sokovia,
Natasha instantly guessed that the Hydra base being attacked in the video must be connected to Wanda's past.
Looking at Natasha's warm, sister-like smile,
Wanda, who had been uneasy, slowly relaxed and continued watching the video.
In the video:
The Hydra base in Sokovia was captured by the Avengers. Baron Strucker tried to surrender but was knocked unconscious by Steve Rogers' shield.
Tony Stark entered a secret room.
He stepped out of his armor and had Jarvis stand guard while he examined the documents on the table and copied the computer data.
Just as Tony was reading through the files,
Wanda and Pietro suddenly appeared behind him.
Seeing Pietro preparing to attack, Wanda raised her hand to stop him.
Then she approached Tony, letting scarlet magic seep into Tony Stark's mind.
Seeing this, everyone in the theater looked at Wanda in shock.
This was the first time they had seen her power.
Even Natasha asked softly, "Is this your ability?"
"I… I'm not sure."
Wanda frowned and shook her head.
The version in the video seemed incredibly powerful—even Jarvis didn't notice her or Pietro.
But right now… she didn't have that ability at all.
