[Zhongyingmei] It's not a slime!

Soon, the game began.

As the most watched final tonight, when Peter and his opponent stepped onto the stage, there were waves of cheers and shouts from below, and everyone became excited.

The person in charge still fanned the flames and said: "Is there anyone else who wants to raise? Last chance!"

Peter's opponent glanced at him and said with a smile, "What are you here for, Fierce Ghost Man?"

Peter said, "Money."

"Tut tut," said his opponent, "that's an honest answer indeed."

"What about you?" Peter asked.

"Me?" His opponent laughed and said slowly, "I... just to enjoy the feeling of torturing my opponent to death. Just imagine, the blood vessels were repeatedly hit until they burst open, and the bones shattered under the fist Cracking, and the wailing of those people dying...how wonderful."

Ruby: "...Mom has perverts here."

She glanced at the perverted character panel:

【Anderson Duke (Class B)】

Bewitching degree: 95%

Fit: 0%

Ruby: ... Gan, as expected of a pervert, this initial bewitchment is rare in the world, the Red Skull calls it an expert, a mere B-level cannon fodder, is it really okay to be so arrogant?

……

The game started.

For Peter, who has been strengthened by the symbiote, any ordinary human being is no match for him, and he has gained an overwhelming advantage from the beginning.

In order to prevent him from getting sick, Ruby kept whispering in his ear.

"Be lighter, if you want to be heavier, his bones will really break."

"Hey, don't hit him on the throat, it's easy to kill him like that."

"Peter, kick him on the knee and you won't get him up."

This dude named Duke was pressed and beaten by Peter all the time, and was finally forced to the corner of the stage.

He raised his head, staring at Peter with a pair of fierce eyes.

Seeing the hostility in these eyes, Peter was immediately aroused, and was about to punch him on the nose to kill the bridge of his nose on the spot, when Ruby's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Peter." Ruby said, her voice was very soft, like a wind chime blown by the breeze in the sun, sweet and peaceful, "Don't lose control."

Peter froze for a moment.

His fist stopped in mid-air, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

Hearing what Ruby said, he seemed to suddenly remember something.

He remembered that during this period of time, he did have some inexplicable desires to commit violence.These desires usually come so naturally that he didn't realize it himself, but now being reminded by Ruby, it was like enlightenment, which made him wake up instantly.

Not right.

What's wrong with him?Is this a sequela of the rebellious period?

It's such a stupefying effort.

Duke grinned suddenly, he opened his mouth, and a small thin tube protruded from his throat.

His teeth flicked the switch on the thin tube.

This movement was so small that no one in the audience could see his small movements, not even the referee noticed.

The moment he snapped the switch with his teeth, there was a sharp, mind-numbing buzzing from the tiny tube.

—It’s ultrasound.

Peter, who was quite familiar with various technologies, immediately realized that this guy couldn't beat him, and even started cheating, using ultrasonic waves to confuse his opponent.

Peter is no stranger to ultrasonic waves. He has studied related weapons before and knows that ultrasonic waves are a very concealed killer that can gather energy in a small range and interfere with the enemy.

This kind of weapon is not fatal, at most it will only make people feel dizzy and nauseated, but in this kind of boxing ring, once the ultrasonic weapon is used secretly, not only will it not be discovered, but it will also make the opponent lose the power in a short time. fighting power.

What's more, there is no way to prevent things like ultrasonic waves.

Ruby was dumbfounded at this moment.

The moment she saw the thin tube, she had a bad premonition, and the sudden ultrasound confirmed it even more.

Ruby was dumbfounded, she wondered if this person was sent by the heavens to cure her, why could she be so clear about her weakness, and took out this ultrasonic weapon in a targeted manner?

System: Is this probably Murphy's Law?If the probability of you getting the ultrasound every day is [-]%, and after so many days of repeated sampling, you finally get it, maybe this is what it means?

Ruby: ... Then I'm pretty cool.

Of course, this kind of weak ultrasonic wave can't really hurt Ruby in a short time, so Ruby just disintegrated for a moment under the attack of ultrasonic wave, and then resisted the feeling of dizziness, and returned to Peter's body.

The B-rank in front of her has not lost her combat power, she can't leave now, otherwise Peter will be very dangerous!

This brief disintegration was so quick that no one noticed the anomaly except for the B-Class who was closest to Peter.

Duke's eyes widened.

He wondered if he was wrong.

There seemed to be some white phantom emerging from the fierce ghost man in front of him just now.And that white phantom actually gave him an extremely strong urge——

I'm going to get that thing, whatever it is.

After Peter was disturbed by the ultrasound, he couldn't help shaking and took a step back.

Seeing that Peter reacted to the ultrasound, Duke immediately retracted the cheating device and punched Peter in the face.

With a bang, Peter was beaten back two steps, almost falling to the ground.There was a second of shock in the auditorium, and then there was a frantic scream.

The audience likes to watch this kind of plot where the people who are being beaten suddenly jump up to fight back, and those gamblers who can win by beating the fierce ghost man have already started yelling.

After Peter was hit, he stood there with his head bowed and his knees bent, without moving for a long time.

He was not stunned because of the beating, but the moment the ultrasonic wave hit him, he heard Ruby in his body let out a suppressed, soft cry of pain.

The ultrasound just now hurt Ruby - Peter recognized the problem immediately.

Peter felt a buzzing in his head, as if the string of reason was snapped in an instant, negative emotions suddenly erupted, and the flames of anger almost engulfed him, so that his mind went blank, as if his reason had been burned by this flame into ashes.

How dare he... hurt Ruby! ! ?

Duke adjusted his breath, retracted the thin tube, and looked up at his opponent.

He found that Peter seemed to have lost his fighting power, just stood there with his head down, without any reaction.

Hmph, they are indeed a bunch of idiots who have nothing but muscles.

He sneered, raised his fist and wanted to give his opponent a final blow.

He had endured it for a long time, just now when Peter pressed and beat him, he was full of anger, and now he wanted to vent his anger on this short, child-like person.

However, a second before his fist touched Peter, his opponent suddenly reached out and grabbed his fist.

The strange thing is that such a thin hand can prevent his fist from getting an inch.

The fingers on those hands were like five steel nails, almost piercing through his fist, and he even heard the wailing of his own phalanx.

Duke was stunned. Before he could react to what was going on, he saw his opponent slowly raised his head.

Those originally gentle and pure eyes were filled with fierce red light at the moment, like a wolf seeing fresh flesh and blood, the scarlet light was full of madness, and a raging, tidal-like killing intent.

Duke only had time to curse badly in his heart, and in that split second, his eyes suddenly blurred.

He felt his face hit hard by something, and then he flew backwards and fell hard to the ground.

There was a burst of exclamation from the crowd, followed by bursts of cheers.

The audience loves to watch this kind of reversal and reversal plot the most.

In fact, they don't care about the life and death of the people on the field at all, they only care about whether their bets will be rewarded, and at this moment, the gamblers who bet on the fierce ghost man shouted excitedly.

"The fierce ghost man! The fierce ghost man! The fierce ghost man!"

"Kill him! Execute him! Crush him!"

Ruby keenly noticed Peter's problem. She glanced at Peter's character status panel, and was shocked to find that the tyrannical status icon had turned completely red, as if soaked in blood.

This is something that has never happened before.

"Why did the loss of control deepen so quickly...it shouldn't be." Ruby muttered.

She was about to call out Peter, but Peter had already stepped forward and grabbed Duke, who was lying on the ground, by the throat.

He lowered his head and turned his back to the strong light hanging high on the ceiling. His slightly immature face was submerged in a shadow, and only in a pair of beautiful eyes, two scarlet cold lights were like sharp blades. Frost, sharp and icy.

"Since you don't follow the rules, I won't be polite to you," Peter said.

There was undisguised anger in his tone, even madness.

His other free hand was clenched into a fist, and he slammed it into Duke's face.

One punch.

Two punches.

Three punches.

Ruby, who was attached to Peter, was attuned to his senses, and she could clearly feel the force feedback of Duke's head being punched punch after punch under Peter's fist, fierce and decisive.

"Peter!" she called.

But Peter had gone crazy and didn't respond at all.

"Too bad," she said, "if this goes on, Peter will really kill people."

The system said: "Do you want to continue watching? Don't forget, you have the ability to end all this at any time. After all, his opponent has lost his combat effectiveness."

Ruby: "I..."

System: "Haven't you procrastinated long enough? This is a bit unlike you."

Ruby was silent for a second, finally making up her mind before Peter threw his final punch.

She broke away from Peter's body and quietly disappeared from the stage while everyone's attention was on the game.

Peter in the berserk state was stunned for a moment. He suddenly felt his arm suddenly lose strength, and his last punch stagnated in mid-air and froze.

After a brief blank, Peter's mind suddenly became clear, and he suddenly realized what he was doing and what happened to him.

He was stunned for a while, but without dropping the last punch, he stood up blankly.

He looked blankly at the cheering audience and Duke who fell in front of him, stood under the spotlight that was concentrated on him for a moment, and shouted softly in a trance:

"... Ruby?"

……

Peter felt as if he had had a long dream.

In this dream, he was possessed by a little starving ghost that came out of nowhere. After that, many stories of him and the little starving ghost were born.

He lived with the little starving ghost for a long time, forming what he believed to be an unbreakable bond.

But the arrival of the little starving ghost also changed many details of life.

He found that during this period, his temper became more and more bad-tempered, and sometimes he even lost his mind, which brought his emotions to a state of extreme agitation, bordering on madness, but this was extremely rare , Most of the time, he is no different from usual.

At this moment, he was standing under the spotlight, looking at the darkness below the stage, looking at the pairs of eyes shining with desire in the darkness, he suddenly felt as if he was awakened from a dream.

When he woke up from the dream, he suddenly felt that he seemed to have lost something important.

He didn't have much memory of what happened afterwards.

He just remembers as if someone raised his hand aloft, announcing him the winner and the five thousand dollar prize.

Then his mind was buzzing, and he ignored everyone, and left the boxing ring silently. He didn't realize what happened until he stood on the street and blew a gust of cold wind.

Ruby disappeared.

Just as he was about to throw his last punch, Ruby disappeared.

At that moment, he felt that most of his desire for violence disappeared, leaving only the embers of anger in his empty chest, like the last ray of light left at the end of the sky after sunset.

He didn't know why Ruby had suddenly disappeared.

He kept calling Ruby's name, but no one could respond to him, only the wind from the streets of New York kept blowing, blowing out the last remaining warmth in his chest, making him feel that his soul and body were terribly cold .

He felt the power in himself disappear.

As if in an instant, he became that ordinary high school student who had nothing and knew nothing.

He stands alone on the side of the road, surrounded by thousands of lights and vehicles in New York, but for him, there is only loneliness as his neighbor.It was already winter on the east coast, and the damp and biting sea wind almost froze him.

"Ruby...?" He called out unwillingly.

But no one will respond.

……

At this time, Ruby had already crawled around the street relying on his many tentacles, and was almost trampled flat, and finally found a little sparrow as a new host.

Although this sparrow can't provide him with any energy, it is better in mobility and wide field of vision, at least he can fly, right?

Ruby thought for a while, and said with some concern: "No, I'm still a little worried about Peter. Would he find it strange that I disappeared without saying a word?"

The situation was so urgent at that time that she didn't dare to stay any longer, for fear that her little brother would be sent to the police station for the crime of intentional homicide, so she could only race against time and didn't even have time to say goodbye.

System: "If you're worried, go and see him."

So Ruby flew back and forth twice around the boxing gym, and finally found Peter who was staring blankly at the side of the road.

Ruby looked at Peter who was standing there alone, and for some reason a subtle sense of guilt suddenly rose in her chest.

She said to the system: "I feel a little sorry for this child."

The system sneered: "That's really rare."

Ruby: "...No matter how heartless I am, I still have a conscience, okay?!"

Then she landed straight on Peter's shoulder in a swoop.

Peter had fallen into a state of autism, and suddenly felt a little sparrow resting on his shoulder, which startled him.

He looked at the sparrow that was not afraid of people in the slightest, with its head held high and its chest held high, and stood proudly on his shoulder and looked down on all beings.

After the physical contact, Ruby penetrated a small part of her body into Peter's skin so that she could communicate with him.

"Peter, it's me, Ruby," she said.

Because of the cold weather, a little sparrow's soft feathers exploded into a ball of fur, and a pair of dark peas eyes turned around, looking very clever and very cute.

As soon as the familiar clear and soft voice like a baby bird sounded, Peter was obviously relieved, and he quickly took the little sparrow into his hands: "Ruby, you scared me to death! Why did you suddenly disappear just now? I I thought you... I thought you had been reincarnated."

Yes, that's what Peter really thought just now. He thought that Ruby died of hunger, so it might be the resentment caused by hunger that supported her to stay in this world.

So, he wondered if it was because he had fed her too much recently and fulfilled her wish during her lifetime, so her obsession disappeared and she went to reincarnation?

Ruby: ...cough.

System: Is your conscience finally starting to ache?

Ruby said in a low voice: "Peter, I'm sorry, but I didn't tell you the truth before..."

Peter showed a puzzled expression.

Ruby hid her head under the wings, and continued in a low voice: "Actually, I'm not a ghost. There's no ghost that looks like me. You're such a fool."

Peter froze for a moment, and was immediately overjoyed: "...Does that mean you are not dead yet?!"

system:! ? ?It's started again!How many times have I told you not to expose your old background, why are you...

"Actually, I'm an alien." Ruby said, "I rely on parasitism on other creatures to be able to act. Although it's harmless to you most of the time, it's easy to make you bad-tempered, and there's nothing I can do about it." Controlling this tendency to turn bad..."

As she spoke, her voice became smaller and smaller: "Just now I feel that I have had a great impact on you, so I have to leave, you know, this is good for you and me... I'm sorry Lah, huh."

Peter: ...

There was too much information, and his brain short-circuited for a while.

It took a few seconds before he grasped the point and recovered his voice: "Is there really nothing I can do? I, I can restrain myself! It's just that my temper has turned bad, and I will try my best to make myself less so Cranky, I really can, don't go, okay?"

Ruby sighed and said nothing.

Peter continued to say eagerly: "Really, it doesn't matter if you are an alien or a strange alien creature, I am happy to be your nest, even if you lay eggs in my stomach and have a baby, it doesn't matter... ...Uh, it's kind of weird to say that... Anyway, isn't there any other way to suppress the side effects?"

Ruby was stunned for a moment, she suddenly thought of Steve, and thought of Steve's unshakable bewitching speed and almost useless tyrannical negative effects.

She sighed and said, "Peter, you are too young."

The system said leisurely: The lethality of this sentence is too great.

Peter was obviously also hit by this sentence.

He hurriedly wanted to clarify: "I am already 15 years old, and I will be an adult in a few years!"

Ruby lifted her fluffy little wings and patted Peter's shoulder lightly: "That's not what I mean, I don't mean young in age."

Peter showed an almost desperate look: "Then...then why did you come back to me?"

Ruby said with a guilty conscience: "I just don't want to leave without saying goodbye, and... this is actually my fault, I don't want you to think too much about it. It doesn't matter, even if I don't stay with you in the future, I will come to you For play."

— not on me?

Peter felt his blood coagulate.

It was as if a voice was shouting frantically in his heart:

No.

You can't let her go.

She has to stay.

She is yours.

She can only be yours!

……

At this moment, Ruby sensitively noticed that the bewitching degree on Peter's character panel suddenly started to turn red again. She said goodbye immediately, and flew up, leaving Peter's semi-possessed state, flapping her wings and flying gone.

Peter staggered and wanted to catch up with her, but he was just an ordinary child without being possessed by the symbiote, and he had no ability to catch up with a flying bird.

He ran so fast that he almost staggered and fell to the ground. He managed to stand still, but it was too late, and he could only watch the little sparrow disappear under the night sky of New York.

Peter looked at the starry sky where Ruby disappeared, and stared blankly for a long, long time, before realizing belatedly that he had lost Ruby.

He also lost those powers, lost those opportunities that would have allowed him to make a lot of money.

He was again the guy who had nothing, even with the five thousand dollars he had just won in his pocket.

But, Ruby is gone, so what's the point?

Peter was numb all over, and he regained consciousness after standing there for a long time, ready to go home in a daze.

Ruby had been standing on a tree by the roadside watching him, fearing that something might happen to him, but seeing that Peter had finally returned to normal, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let me just say that he is a good boy with a promising future." Ruby said gratifiedly, "In a few years, he will definitely grow into an indomitable man. Peter, future soldier, yay!"

System: Alright, say goodbye to future warriors, I recommend that you quickly find a new home, but don't tell me that you plan to spend the rest of your life on this sparrow.

A symbiote-system was chatting, and suddenly another accident happened on the street.

A man with a gun rushed out from nowhere and stopped a car. He held a gun in one hand and a large bag of jewelry in the other, forcing the owner of the car Get out of the car.

"Get down!" he yelled. "Give me the car! Or I'll shoot!"

There was a sudden chaos on the street, and pedestrians fled in all directions screaming and panicking.

With the super eyesight of the symbiote, Ruby saw the person sitting in the car at a glance.

There was a man Ruby knew very well, and she had lived under the same roof with him for a long time in the past.

——It was Uncle Ben on his way home after overtime.

At this moment, he showed a stunned expression under the muzzle of the murderer, and quickly opened the car door, just about to say something.

Ruby suddenly felt a very strong sense of foreboding.

At this moment, Peter is still haunted by the loss of Ruby, walking forward in a daze.Then he suddenly heard the screams of the crowd, raised his head subconsciously, and saw Uncle Ben who was pointed at the gun.

His brain went blank for a moment, unable to understand what happened in front of him for a moment.

He saw the face of the robber with the gun, and at that moment, some images from earlier in the day flashed back in his mind.

He had seen this robber on his way to the boxing gym for a match.

He saw this man robbing.

However, at that time, in order to hurry up, to get his five thousand dollar bonus, and for some selfish and dark thoughts, he chose to let that person go and ignore him.He even remembered Ruby calling him, but he pretended not to hear.

And now, the man he let go is pointing a gun at his Uncle Ben.

The danger came so unexpectedly.

Peter felt like his heart was about to stop.

Everything happened so fast, just in the blink of an eye, he widened his eyes, and before he could utter an exclamation, he saw the man holding the pistol slowly pull down his finger on the trigger.

"Oops!" Ruby, who was always paying attention to all the movements of the robbers, thumped in her heart.

She flapped her wings and flew away without the slightest hesitation, and flew towards the gun-wielding gangster at the fastest speed, stretched out her sharp claws and grabbed his face fiercely!

"Oh!"

Gunshots sounded.
