foreigner's journey

Chapter 1206 Ring
"What do you want to talk about?"

Heather showed no fear, but pulled up a chair and sat down.

His feelings were always right. Just like now, he felt that this girl would not really hurt him.

"whispering sound!"

Seeing that she couldn't scare Heather, the punk girl turned the gun twice and then put it back behind her waist.

"Hospitality, man. I'm thirsty!"

Heather stood up and opened the fridge, "Are carbonated drinks okay?"

"I saw the Dr. Pepper, that's it."

Catching the can that Heather threw over, the punk girl pulled the ring and took a big sip with a distorted expression:
"This stuff tastes like fizzy almond milk and cough syrup...so good!"

Heather also grabbed a can of iced Coke and sat back in her chair. "So, can you tell me why you broke into someone's house?"

"Theoretically, I'm not breaking into someone's house. This isn't someone else's...Okay, let me introduce myself first."

The punk girl dangled her legs on the edge of the sofa and said with a grin:
"My name is Rebecca. My friends call me 'super cute pretty girl', while strangers and enemies call me 'gun demon'. Do you want to be a friend, a stranger or even an enemy?"

Heather didn't want to choose either one: "Then I'll still call you Rebecca. You can call me Heather, Heather Annon."

"Tsk... Don't you want to have a relationship with a cute and lively girl like me? Don't be fooled by my petite and cute appearance. I'm actually an adult!"

As she spoke, Rebecca placed her two index fingers on her cheeks, tilted her head, and bared her teeth in a cute smile.

"Not at all. And I have a girlfriend."

Heather felt inexplicably tired, as if she had met this girl before and felt tired. In order to deal with her, Heather could only make up a virtual girlfriend.

"Girlfriend? Could it be that big-butt spider? Is it progressing so fast?" Rebecca's eyes widened and she leaned forward, looking extremely gossipy: "How far has it progressed? Tell me about it."

Heather's mind was a little stuck, and she thought hard before she realized that she was talking about Gwen.

Not to mention that Gwen and herself had no so-called romantic relationship at all, how did this girl named Rebecca know that Ghost Spider was connected to her?
"Although I don't know who you are talking about, but the person you are talking about is definitely not the same person as me."

Heather tried to remain calm and deny it, not wanting Gwen's true identity to be exposed.

"Okay, okay, if you say you're not alone, then you're not alone. Really, you're so old and still shy."

Rebecca waved her hand perfunctorily.

This kid is so annoying... Heather pursed her lips, trying to calm herself down, and then asked, "Why did you come to see me so specially?"

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot something important. It's all your fault. You insisted on chatting with me about other things and made me forget something important."

Rebecca pulled her lower eyelids and stuck out her tongue to make a face at Heather, then she reached her little hand into the inside pocket of her coat and began to rummage around.

It was you who changed the subject, how can you blame me? Heather had a stiff smile on her face, her temples bulging, and her teeth grinding.

I really want to beat her up.

I don't know where Rebecca put the thing, I just saw her digging deeper and deeper, even scratching herself and making her laugh. After more than ten seconds, she finally took out a ring from her clothes.

“Ding ding ding ding! Found it!”

This is a ring made of black metal with many cracks on the surface, and it looks tattered.

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but Heather always felt that there were tiny dots of red light flickering in the cracks of the ring.

"This thing is for you."

Rebecca flicked her finger, and the ring drew an arc in the air and landed accurately in Heather's palm.

"...I don't remember having such an ugly ring."

Heather held her palm in front of her and examined the ring carefully. It was not an illusion, as she could vaguely see a hint of red light inside the ring.

Rebecca leaned back on the couch and sipped her Dr. Pepper. "That's a long story. How well do you know your parents?"

"...Do you know them?"

“Your father’s name is Jeff Annon and your mother’s name is Maria Bernat Annon.

At 11:09 p.m. on December 169 last year, they were involved in a serious car accident on Highway in Connecticut. They died on the way to the hospital after failed rescue efforts.

But is this really the case? "

Rebecca smiled and said something that made Heather's scalp tingle:

"I mean, do you really know the real jobs they do?"

"……what do you want to say in the end?"

When it comes to her deceased parents, Heather no longer wants to keep a fake, stiff smile on her face, and her expression becomes serious and cold.

“What I can tell you is that Jeff and Maria are both archaeologists employed by my organization, and this ring is exactly the treasure they dug out from a very ancient meteorite impact crater.

As for the car accident last December, the truth is that your parents violated the contract and took the ring away from the excavation site without permission. As a result, the ring was accidentally activated on the way, and the energy released by the ring destroyed both the people and the car. "

Rebecca pointed at the black metal ring in Heather's palm:

"Yes, that's it."

Heather was silent for a while, then gritted her teeth and said, "You mean... my parents died in an accident because they stole this ring from you? Didn't you murder them?"

Rebecca shook her finger. "NONONO, we won't do such a thing. It doesn't matter to us who takes the ring. All we need is for the ring to be dug out and its real owner to be found.

Your parents were able to find this ring, which was a cause. And you, as their child, may be the result.

If it were you, perhaps you could unleash the true power of this ring."

"True power?"

"Yes, its real name is Berserker Ring. Only those who are qualified can discover the potential power of the ring."

"Is your goal to make me the host of this ring? It will drain my life? Am I your chosen sacrifice? Or do you want to see me destroyed by the out-of-control ring like my parents?"

Heather, who had read a lot of comics and watched a lot of movies and TV shows, immediately listed a lot of bad possibilities in her mind.

"You overestimate yourself and underestimate the Berserker Ring. Don't worry, I won't force you to use it now."

Rebecca drank the Dr. Pepper in one gulp, threw the crushed can into the trash can a few meters away, stood up and straightened her coat:

“The way to use it is to put a drop of your blood on the ring, and then you will understand how to use it.

If you don't want to use it, keep it or throw it away. But I want to remind you that if you really use this ring and survive, it means you have accepted the [Contract]. "

"…What contract?"

"The contract I signed with the organization behind me. You won't need to look for us or hide, because we will come to you. We will definitely come."

Rebecca looked at Heather and smiled meaningfully:

"Hopefully we'll see each other again soon, Heather."

After that, a gunshot suddenly rang out in the room. Heather subconsciously hugged his head with his arms. After a second, he realized that he was not injured and looked around.

The girl named Rebecca has disappeared.

All that was left was Heather and the tattered metal ring in his palm.
