[Zhongyingmei] It's not a slime!

Ruby glanced at the photos of Steve in a pile of postcards that Peter had posted on the wall, and then at Peter, who was obviously a fan of the captain, hesitated to speak.

After thinking for a while, she felt that what she just said was a bit out of context, so she explained to the furious Peter: "Actually, I didn't completely starve to death... To be precise, I should have been burned to death. "

Peter became even angrier: "What! That scum still set you on fire!!"

He was so angry that he picked up the phone and called the police on the spot.

System: Oh, it's a big crisis for Steve.

Ruby: ...Thinking too much, including this kid, the two of them may not be able to beat Steve together.

System: Steve, God forever!

Ruby: "Don't be angry Peter, it's all happened in the past, and my death was actually just an accident, I can't blame anyone... Bah, I'm not dead, I'm alive and well!"

That's because you've become a ghost now, Peter thought sadly.Judging from Ruby's voice, it should be just a young child, maybe about the same age as him, who died at such a young age, or died in such an extremely painful way...

Peter sat down on the chair slumped.

"Sorry, Ruby," Peter said.

"Huh? Why do you have to apologize?" Ruby was very puzzled.

Because I used to call you a monster in my heart, and tried every means to drive you away with exorcism, obviously you are already in such a miserable situation... Peter didn't say anything, just looked down at the boy lying on his lap small symbiont.

Ruby was looking at him with those beautiful red eyes that seemed to hold a blinding, bright light.

Even after being treated so cruelly, she was still so pure and flawless. There was no resentment, no anger, no despair, and even no confusion in those eyes.

The light in those eyes was clean, clear, and even innocent, as if they had never been disturbed by the malice of this world.

Peter couldn't help rubbing Ruby's little head.

"Ruby." He said, with a gentle tone that he didn't even realize, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect you."

Ruby: "..."

She felt a little surprised: He said he wanted to protect me.

System: This child should learn to protect himself first.

Also.

Ruby didn't take it seriously, she shook her soft head, shook Peter's hand away, and said, "I suggest you protect your computer data first."

Peter was taken aback, and looked up at the computer he had picked up from the trash.

System error, blue screen.

Peter let out an earth-shattering wail: "...Ahhh! I haven't saved it yet!"

Ruby: "Sorry, Amen."

……

Peter fell into a lost state because thousands of lines of code he had written were lost.

Coupled with the complete death of this dying computer picked up from the trash can, his mood fell to the bottom.

"Ah." He faced the repair for a long time, until he found the smoking computer mainframe, with a sad face, "What should I do, this program is going to be used in a competition, and if it wins, the bonus will be a thousand dollars! Moreover, this The award is a heavyweight, if you get it, you will definitely have no problem with the scholarship next year, and you might even get the chance to submit it."

"A mere thousand dollars." Ruby said, "Why don't we go to church to try our luck tonight? I'll pick it up for you in minutes."

Black and black is the fastest way to get money - without considering the criminal law.

Peter was lost in thought.

It seems that it is not impossible...?

As soon as this thought came up, Peter shook his head immediately, his heart beating wildly.

Damn, why would he think this method is feasible! ?

You are getting bolder, Peter Parker!

"No!" he said. "It's too dangerous, and it's illegal. What if something happens?"

Ruby didn't continue to encourage him, she said: "Then do you have any other ways to get money quickly?"

Peter glanced at his computer, which had been half buried in the ground, and fell into deep thought.

"When does the game end?" Ruby asked.

"Next week..." Peter dejectedly said, "Programming will take at least three days, which means I only have about three days to scrape together enough money to buy a new computer."

He counted the time for a while, and became even more discouraged: "With my current ability, this is simply impossible, unless I help the rich second generation take the exam or something..."

"This is not only illegal, but also very troublesome. Once you are found out, the rest of your life will be ruined." Ruby quickly dismissed his thoughts.

"It's really a man's calculation." Peter said, "I originally wanted to use the prize money from this competition to buy Aunt May a new microwave oven. You know, the one at home has been broken for a long time, and there has never been enough microwave ovens. Spare money to buy a new one. It's all over now."

"Hmm..." Ruby pondered for a while, and finally made a difficult decision: "How about you use the money in our dessert treasury to buy it for Aunt Mei?"

She has always liked this kind, gentle aunt, and is still happy to do something for her.

Peter took out a small box from under the bed and flipped through the money inside.

"Although... we only have a hundred dollars left," Peter said.

Ruby: ...

System: Look at how extravagant and wasted the two of you have been during this time!It's thanks to Peter's talent not to gain weight that he didn't get obesity!

Peter thought for a while, and suddenly came up with an idea: "Ruby, how about... let's fight to make money?"

"How do you make money from fighting?" Ruby was stunned for a moment, "Robbery?"

"No, no, no." Peter shook his head and said seriously, "Punch, punch, fight."

……

How can a person avoid the criminal law and make money as quickly as possible when he has nothing to do but fight?

That, of course, is to participate in various fighting competitions.

In regular competitions, there are safety and rule requirements in most cases, that is, it is not allowed to cause fatal damage to the opponent.Of course, this also leads to a lack of appreciation, so the price will not be very high.

Informal and illegal competitions are usually black boxing competitions secretly held underground. It is normal for this kind of competition to cut ribs and teeth, and it is not new for blood to flow all over the ground.The only advantage of this kind of black boxing match is that it earns more money, and the money comes in quickly, and as long as no one is killed, the authorities don't care too much.

"What are you thinking?" Ruby said, "Be sober, we must be playing a regular game."

"But it's only thirty dollars if you win a fight." Peter, who came out of the boxing gym, walked on the road and said, looking at the registration rules he just got.

"That's because you're not well-known, and the boxing gym won't give you that kind of high-profile, high-return ring," Ruby said.

"..." Peter fell into a tangle.

Ruby poked her head out and tilted her head to look at him: "What's the matter, what are you thinking?"

"Ruby, thirty dollars a time is too slow, otherwise we'd better fight/black fist." Peter finally made up his mind.

In the boxing gym just now, they also inquired about some clues about Black Boxing.

"Are you sure? That's a little dangerous." Ruby said.

"It's not really dangerous for us, is it?" Peter said.

He remembered that when he first met Ruby, he singled out twelve drug dealers with guns in the church alone. You know, he thought he was dead at the time.

"Hmm..." Ruby thought for a while, and wanted to refuse at first, but when she saw Peter's deer-like wet eyes, she suddenly softened her heart, "It's fine, but you'd better find a way to cover your face before go."

Peter was slightly taken aback: "Why?"

"A kid who looks like a teenager goes to fight/black boxing, are you stupid? It will definitely attract attention." Ruby said, "There is no competitive spirit in that kind of competition. If you lose , what should I do to retaliate against you in private?"

Peter nodded quickly: "Yes, what you said is too reasonable!"

So, things settled down.

Peter is also a very active kid. He ran home immediately, changed a hood out of an old bed sheet, dug two holes and put it on his head, looking like an amateur robber, and then Following the clues he found in a formal boxing gym, he sneaked to an underground boxing gym.

The result, of course, was that he won three rounds in a row in one night, and each round didn't exceed three moves, and he was able to beat people to the ground and roll on the ground.

Peter was very guilty: "They are too weak."

Ruby has been paying attention to the tyrannical negative status on Peter's character panel, for fear of any problems, but fortunately, Peter still controlled his desire for violence: "How much bonus did you get?"

"It's three hundred in total." Peter counted the money he just got, "But they promised me to play against their star player tomorrow, and if I win...a thousand bonus!"

"What rank is a star player?" Ruby asked curiously.

Peter pointed to some photos hanging on the wall: "Maybe it's these guys."

Ruby poked his head out and took a look. They were all thick, Schwarzenegger-level muscular men, with muscles all over their bodies, the kind that looked like they could punch a child.

"Small." Ruby said lazily.

It's just a stupid big guy made of muscles, she can hit ten of them.

What's more, Peter's whole body is wrapped up during the competition, and she can enter the possessed state at any time to protect him from being discovered. For Peter, the level of danger in this level of competition is completely zero.

What is dimensionality reduction strike?

Ruby lit a cigarette that didn't exist in Peter's body leisurely.

……

Day three.

Peter rushed into the computer store with the thousand dollars he had just earned in cash.

Three minutes later, he came out with a brand new laptop computer in his arms, with a happy face, like a child who bought a new toy.

"Thank you, Ruby!" He said sincerely, "Without you, this competition might really be in vain."

"It's good to know." Ruby said triumphantly, "Then why don't you reward me with some delicious food with the rest of your bonus!"

"That's a must." Peter was in a good mood, and immediately prepared to turn left at the cake shop ahead.

At this moment, he suddenly heard someone screaming: "Someone is snatching the bag!"

Peter subconsciously turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound. Before he could react, he felt something flying past in front of him, and the wind it brought made his already untidy hair even more messy.

It is a motorcycle.

The person in the car was wearing a helmet and holding a bag that looked like a woman's bag in his hand. The speed almost reached 180 miles, and the speed was so fast that he didn't know which corner he flew to in the blink of an eye.

Ruby: "Hey Peter, look, it's Mary Jane."

Peter: "Huh?"

He looked back foolishly, and found that the girl who was robbed was actually Mary Jane, his classmate.The latter was pale because of the sudden robber, with an anxious expression on his face.

"Hurry up and get it back!" Ruby urged, "Haven't you always been interested in others?"

Peter blushed: "I'm not, I don't! Ruby, listen to me, I really don't!!"

Ruby: ... Sigh, this is probably the shyness of young people, youth is so good.

System: I just smiled and said nothing.

"Stop talking nonsense, move quickly!" Ruby kept urging Peter, "After this village, there will be no such shop!"

"Ruby, I..." Peter felt inexplicably lost. He wanted to explain something, but seeing that the motorcycle was about to disappear from his sight, he quickly put the computer he just bought aside, Then rushed out quickly!

—Ruby doesn't think it's right.

She checked the distance with her eyes, and gave Peter a disapproving look: "It has fallen more than 300 meters away, and you can't catch up with a pair of legs."

"Then what?" Peter asked.

Ruby said, "I don't care if it's anyone else, but if it's Mary Jane..."

Peter: "Ruby, I really..."

Ruby: "I understand, I understand, you don't like her. Well, then, you put on the headgear quickly, and I will take you away!"

Peter: "..."

Peter fell into a state of abandonment and didn't explain it at all.

He reached out and touched his pocket, trying to take out his shoddy quilt hood, but he couldn't find it after a long time.

Peter: "...where is my headgear! Oops, I seem to have lost it by accident!"

Ahhh, this is his last bed sheet!

A row of periods popped above Ruby's head.

After a long while, she said helplessly, "Okay, then sit still!"

Peter froze for a moment, but before he realized what Ruby meant, he felt something suddenly grow on his skin, like a new layer of skin, covering his whole body tightly, even his Its head was also tightly wrapped by a silver-white semi-solid substance in an extremely short period of time.

Ruby's active skill [Possession] activates.

On the white body, a pair of red eyes suddenly opened, looking at the motorcycle that was about to disappear at the end of the street.

Pedestrians on the street screamed and fled in all directions, not because of someone riding a motorcycle to snatch bags, but because of this monster that appeared out of the blue.

It was also the first time that Peter was possessed so thoroughly, everyone else was dumbfounded, Ruby moved before he could react.

Without any run-up, she directly reached the speed of sprinting, so fast that there was almost only an afterimage left. In order to avoid hitting pedestrians, she simply split into countless tentacles, which firmly stuck to the surrounding building walls, sending her directly to Going into the air, it moves quickly in the streets of the city as if on a swing.

With a distance of more than 300 meters, it has been shortened in a few breaths.

Before Peter could get motion sickness, Ruby swooped down and knocked the bag snatcher to the ground.

"Where are you going?" Looking at the struggling robber, she grinned.

At that moment, the poor robber saw that the monster in front of him opened his mouth, revealing six rows of sharp teeth, as if he could bite his head off in a second.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Ruby: ...

Peter: ...

"If you're so timid, don't come out to mess around. How cowardly." Ruby gave him a super disgusted look, picked up Mary Jane's bag from the ground, and then raised her head to look at the onlookers who kept retreating around her.

The onlookers were also frightened.

Let me ask, a monster that can barely be called a humanoid suddenly jumped out of the street. It looked extremely ferocious, and it looked like an alien crawling out of a movie.

"Call the police, why are you standing still?" Ruby said to the person at the front of the crowd.

When the man saw the monster speak human words, he was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he backed away again and again, wishing he could disappear on the spot.

"Hmph, it's so boring." Ruby muttered, jumped out with the bag in her hand, and returned to the place where Mary Jane was robbed just now after a few ups and downs.

Behind her, the onlookers who had finally recovered from their fear rushed to call the police.

"Hello? The police station? There are monsters on the street!"

"Help!"

"Where are the Avengers! Come on, hurry up and take this monster away!"

It was not a small voice, and Ruby heard it, and so did Peter.

Ruby didn't care, but Peter was a little angry. He simply took over control of his body and glanced behind him.

In those eyes that looked particularly fierce, a red light flashed like a sharp knife.

Ruby sensed that something was wrong, and quickly comforted her in a good voice: "Okay, it's okay, don't be angry."

Peter said in disbelief: "Are they all blind, didn't they see that you were helping someone snatch back the bag?"

Ruby: "Oh... Hurry up and return the bag, let those idiots talk about it, anyway, I won't lose a piece of meat."

She really didn't care at all.

In the final analysis, she is actually an existence without any identity, just a ghost that cannot survive without others, and even the name Ruby is not sure if it is her real name.As she herself feels, she doesn't care about many things anymore, so she won't feel sad because of being treated coldly, it was the same in the past, and it is the same now.

"You don't feel angry at all?" Peter couldn't believe it.

"It's okay." Ruby said with a smile, "Anyway, they are just unimportant passers-by A, B, C, whatever, otherwise, what else can I do, scold them back?"

Peter felt his heart ache.

Has this child always treated people and things that hurt her with this indifferent attitude?

Is the truth of her death not as light as what she said?

"Hey," Ruby reminded him when she saw that he was still in a daze, "If you don't return the bag to Mary Jane, she will be scared away by you."

Only then did Peter notice that he had been standing in front of Mary Jane for half a minute clutching his bag.

……

Mary Jane obviously didn't expect things to turn out this way.

A monster nearly two meters tall, covered in silver and with scarlet eyes, stood in front of her, staring at her motionless.

The huge sense of oppression and fear pinned her firmly in place, her whole body was shaking with fear, and tears of fear swirled in her big beautiful eyes.

Ruby sighed, "She's so pretty, you have a good eye."

Peter: "..."

Forget me, Qiuqiu, can you stop bringing up this topic, I really don't mean that to her!

Peter handed the bag in his hand to Mary Jane.

"Is this your bag?" he asked.

Mary Jane was completely dumbfounded, she stood there in a daze, not even knowing whether she should reach for the bag or not.

The two were deadlocked.

At this moment, the siren sounded suddenly, getting closer.

Ruby said helplessly: "You can just throw it to her, the delay is too long, we should run away."

Peter stood there stubbornly, with his hand out in the air, waiting for Mary Jane to take it.

He thought, I haven't waited for a thank you yet.

No, not me.

——Ruby hasn't waited for a thank you yet.

However, in the next second, several police cars had stopped, and the tires rubbing against the ground made harsh sounds.

The police came down with their guns in hand, pointing their black muzzles at Ruby and Peter.
